Chapter 1135: Australian Lobster
Because of Wang Ben's sudden death, the joy of the success of the research on looms and looms also vanished, Chen Xu silently returned to the Zuo Xiang's Mansion, only to find that Shui Qingrou was also in the mansion.
"Hey, why did the lady enter the city?" After Chen Xu got out of the car, he held Shui's soft hand and asked in surprise.
"Today, the husband has not returned home in Shen Shizhong, and everyone is relieved, so I went into the city to visit, and when I learned that the Marquis of Tongwu had died, I guessed that the husband must still be busy in the palace......" Shui Qingrou Fuli said softly.
"Alas, I didn't expect the lady to say a prophecy that day, Tongwu Hou is really gone, let's go, it's cold outside, go into the house and talk!" Chen Xu sighed and shook his head, leading the water softly to the backyard.
"I didn't expect it gently, I just saw that Wuhou had a bad complexion that day, and I felt something, the two generals of the Ding Kingdom passed away one after another, and the emperor must be very sad!"
"Naturally, I just got the news, the emperor had a head attack, and handed over the task of arranging the aftermath of the Marquis of Tongwu to me, and the lady will arrange for a few familiar maids and servants to enter the city after returning tomorrow, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to the other courtyard in the last few days, especially to tell the housekeeper to take good care of Wanniang and Shiyan, both of them are about to give birth, I don't worry about ......"
"Don't worry, husband, I will arrange everything, by the way, husband, this afternoon, a monk from the East China Sea brought a letter from his senior brother, saying that they will come back from Yingzhou after the southeast wind rises in spring!"
"Really? Hurry up and show me the letter......" Chen Xu was pleasantly surprised, and took a letter from Shui Qing's hand as he walked.
The letters are scribbled, and seem to have been drawn with a wooden stick, and the ink is like a seven or eight-year-old child's graffiti, very much in the eclectic and lazy style that Yu Wuya has always had, like a chicken paw crawling.
Although the words are very wild and uninhibited, Chen Xu still recognizes them, to the effect that they have conquered several indigenous tribes in Yingzhou, and after sparing no effort to search, they finally found Gongsun Beiyan and Xiang Jing, and the process of finding them was not said, but the information behind made Chen Xu very happy, because they not only drove the indigenous people on the island to dig out a large amount of sulfur from the volcano, but also found a silver mine, and now with the help of a group of ink disciples and monks, a large amount of silver is being mined and smelted. It is estimated that after the beginning of spring, Langya will bring back at least 20,000 catties of silver and about 30,000 catties of sulfur, and finally mentioned that there are now seven or eight fleets to explore and hunt for treasure in Yingzhou, and many islands in Yingzhou can be seen everywhere Central Plains people, and finally it is also mentioned that Gongsun Beiyan established the Wei State on one of the islands, and his subordinates have conquered tens of thousands of Yingzhou indigenous tribes, and even let some ink disciples and Fang Shi who followed Huangshi Gong serve as officials to form the imperial court......
"Tsk! It's really hard work that pays off......" Chen Xu sat by the fire and smacked his lips with great emotion after reading it.
"Husband, please drink tea! Do you mean Sister Beiyan? Shui gently brewed a pot of hot tea herself, and after holding a cup for Chen Xu, she sat down next to her and asked.
"Naturally, it's her, I don't know what happened to her and Xiang Jing after they were separated on the island? How did you get to Yingzhou? And the vastness of the East China Sea and the barbarism of Yingzhou even made Gai Nie find it, I have to say that it is a miracle, and Gai Nie is really infatuated, and even helped her rule the natives in Yingzhou to establish the Wei State......" Chen Xu sighed with emotion, and read the letter again while drinking tea.
These senior brothers didn't say anything in the letter, and when the senior brother and sister Zijin came back and asked, they knew that the husband had written a song at the beginning: People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. Now that Sister Beiyan and Gai Nie have finally been able to be together after hardships, and their lovers have finally become married, I am very happy for them! A mist appeared in Shui's soft and bright eyes, and the circles under his eyes were slightly red.
"That's the case, but it may not be as simple as the lady thinks, Gongsun Beiyan and a group of Fang Shimo disciples wandered the sea for more than a year, and finally ended up on the isolated island of Yingzhou, no one knows what happened during the period, and Gongsun Beiyan is arrogant and cowardly by nature, and Gai Nie is a person who is strong in martial arts but rigid in his mind, and always wants to repay the kindness of his life in the original piece of hot cake, these two people will never be together in my opinion, because these two people are a pair of wonderful......" Chen Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Husband, is it said that Sister Beiyan may have a new love after going to Yingzhou?" Shui gently wiped away his tears and asked with a surprised face.
"It seems to me that it is inevitable!" Chen Xu nodded, put down the teacup and gently sat the water in his arms and explained: "Although you and Gongsun Beiyan have known each other since childhood and are like sisters, in fact, you and her are completely people from two different worlds......
"Gongsun Beiyan was born in the most prominent aristocratic Gongsun clan of Great Wei, and she usually treats civilians as dung, and she is surrounded by Luotuo Wangsun nobles who are bent on restoring Great Wei and even the Six Kingdoms, how can she be a female to envelop those noble princes and grandchildren, what does she rely on, in addition to an unwarranted title of Princess Wei, what else can she be worthy of investment and reliance on by others, and you should have heard of the erosion of the private life of the nobles, not only the Six Kingdoms, but also the current Daqin, this kind of woman dreams of a princess who enjoys glory and wealth for her, Naturally, she can give up anything, or cater to those who give her advice. ”
"Although Gai Nie is also considered to be born noble, he is a descendant of the Jin royal family, but the Jin Kingdom has been divided and destroyed for almost two hundred years, and his current identity is just a mere ranger, except for his swordsmanship, there is really nothing that can make people look at it, I used to want to envelop him, but now it ......"
Chen Xu shrugged his shoulders and expressed his disdain, "Gongsun Beiyan, a young and beautiful woman who can't do anything, can live to Yingzhou and conquer a group of natives, that group of ink disciples and monks must have played a great role in the beginning, why did she Gongsun Beiyan do this?" Those Motu Fangshi were all extremely capable people, why did they obey the command of a big-chested woman like Gongsun Beiyan......
"Husband, don't bury Sister Beiyan too much, in fact, she is very smart, not what Husband usually sees?" The water whispered softly.
"Even if she is very smart, Gongsun Beiyan was able to conquer the natives in Yingzhou without the help of acquaintances and establish the Wei State, I have to say that she does still have something extraordinary, not to mention what will happen to this Wei State in the future, she has finally reached her dream status through her own efforts, but in this case, Gai Nie found her, do you think she still needs Gai Nie's help? This is completely different from the situation when you were detained by Huang Shigong on a desert island overseas, she needs to express her weakness to get mercy and help, and at that time only Gai Nie can help her......"
After listening to this, Shui fell into extreme confusion, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to lose focus.
"Lovers eventually become married...... Is it really that hard? Shui gently turned around and hugged Chen Xu's neck tightly, tears flowing down his eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, you and her are not from the same world at all, and your thoughts are naturally different, so don't use your own mood to feel her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, now that Gongsun Beiyan's wish to restore Wei has been realized, she should live well, you should be happy for her." Chen Xu gently stroked Shui's soft and supple hair, and comforted softly.
"Husband, you said before that you would merge Yingzhou into Great Qin, how will Sister Beiyan's Wei Kingdom be in the future? Will you kill her? Or will the emperor arrange for someone to kill her when he finds out? The water held back the sobs gently.
"Don't worry, I won't kill her, and I won't tell the emperor about it, Yingzhou is barren in materials, coal and iron are scarce and volcanic earthquakes are frequent, rich in sulfur and gold and silver, once the news of someone getting back a large number of valuable minerals from Yingzhou spreads, many rich businessmen and explorers who dream of making a fortune will flock to Yingzhou, in the face of these powerful ships and marauders in the Central Plains, whether Gongsun Beiyan can hold his Wei State is a big problem, there is no strong agricultural industrial base overseas, If you want to contend with the Central Plains, it is completely a mantis arm, and no one can stop the progressive trend of history, and there is only one consequence of forcibly blocking it, and that is to die ......"
"Therefore, there is no need for me and the emperor to make a move, if Gongsun Beiyan wants to survive in the future, there are only two ways to go, one is to naturalize Daqin and cooperate with many explorers, give up the unrealistic fantasy of Princess Wei, and become a big businessman in Yingzhou from now on, and the other is to return to the Central Plains incognito and be an ordinary person, if she is really willing, I can help her in the relationship between you and her!"
"It turns out that my husband has already seen it thoroughly, and it is too simple to think softly!" Shui gently leaned on Chen Xu's shoulder and nodded gently.
"Hehe, in fact, Yingzhou is just a small place, all the messy islands are not as big as a county in the East China Sea in the Central Plains, it is not worth worrying about it, and when Brother Yu comes back this time, I asked him to lead the fleet to continue sailing to the South China Sea, now that the Lingnan lands have been conquered, it is also very convenient to dock and replenish along the coast, and there are more islands rich in all kinds of strange things outside the South China Sea, especially those delicious tropical fruits, coconut, Polo, lychee...... It's the one who rode the red dust and smiled, no one knew that it was a delicious fruit from lychees, as well as mangosteen, mango, banana, hiss~ durian...... Well, forget about that......"
Chen Xu took a sip of saliva and continued, "When the time comes, we will find a beautiful beach on Hainan Island, build a house by the sea, face the sea and warm flowers, the fruits and sweet flowers bloom all year round, listen to the tide and fall asleep every day, put a row of umbrellas on the beach to shade the sun, everyone wears shorts and short skirts, swims in the blue and clear sea, frolicks on the soft sand, eats oyster grilled squid when tired, if you can go to Australia, you can also eat Australian lobster several feet long, hiss ~ hiss ~ ......" Chen Xu wiped his mouth and hurriedly stopped, otherwise the saliva would drip onto the watery soft dress.
"Don't say it, husband, I can't help but want to eat it gently!" Shui gently blushed cheeks, and under the temptation of Chen Xu's food, he left his previous sorrows behind.
"It's not that I want to say, but the world is too big, now we are only exploring a corner, Gongsun Beiyan and others don't know the right time and place, thinking that only Yingzhou can live overseas, in fact, outside the South China Sea or the West is the best place for her to establish Great Wei, those places are far from the emperor of the mountains and no one can control, if she wants, even I can write to the emperor to support her!"
"Really!" Shui sat up softly and pleasantly.
"Look at you, Gongsun Beiyan treated you like this at the beginning, and robbed you at the wedding, if I hadn't been so powerful that the lady hadn't been found yet, alas, I know that you have only one girlfriend to talk to since you were a child, except for a few senior brothers, you can't bear to see her fall into a miserable and helpless situation, when the time comes, you can ask Brother Yu to tell her, let her cooperate with the development and conquest of the indigenous people of Yingzhou in Yingzhou, and when the time is ripe, I will arrange for someone to send her to Australia......"
"I'm sorry, husband~" Shui gently bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"You and I don't need to say I'm sorry, although I hate her style, but in fact, I admire her, a weak woman who knows almost nothing, for an illusory princess's dream to be able to persist to this point, which makes most men feel ashamed, look at the six kings and grandsons, who can persist until now and re-erect the banner of the six countries, she is the only one, I heard that Wei Gongzi is still in Xianyang, when will I take the time to visit, Look at who is the king and grandson who has high hopes for Gongsun Beiyan and is diligently trying to help him restore the country! Chen Xu gently hugged the water in his arms and comforted him.
"Thank you, husband, you really can't rest assured that Sister Beiyan, she is actually more miserable than me, but she looks glamorous on the outside, by the way, husband, you only said that there are four continents before, why is there suddenly another Australia?" Shui was soft and surprised, and there were many doubts in her eyes.
"Australia does not belong to the four continents, I guess it is one of the two sacred mountains of Daiyu and Yuanqiao in ancient legends, in fact, it was washed away from the Pangu continent by the outbreak of floods in ancient times, then Australia is an isolated island, but the area is broader than the territory of my Daqin today, and there should be some indigenous people similar to Yingzhou at present, but it is very primitive and barbaric, and the civilization should still stay in the clan and tribal period thousands of years ago in China, Gongsun Beiyan went there to build a country, and brought the advanced farming and animal husbandry technology of my Central Plains to the past, Thinking about it, it will soon gain a firm foothold and develop, and now that she has the technology to build large sailing ships, as long as she manages it well, she will also strengthen the integration and exchange between the East and the West through merchant ships and Western countries and Daqin, which is also very beneficial for the spread of Chinese culture......"
Chen Xu roughly said his thoughts, and finally said with a smile: "Australia is actually a very magical place, there are many strange animals and plants, especially animals, many beasts have a small pouch on their bodies, and after giving birth to cubs, they will put them in their own nursery bags, just like we hang a cloth bag on the chest and abdomen, it is very magical, and there are many varieties, there are kangaroos that are stronger and taller than people, jumping and walking with two long legs, supporting the ground with thick tails, and are good at fighting boxing, Being able to fight like a human, as well as thylacine, wombat, platypus, raccoon, etc., it is an extremely mysterious and magical continent, and as long as Gongsun Beiyan is not stupid, she will definitely take advantage of Australia's unique geographical advantages and products to develop well, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter whether she establishes the Wei State or is willing to submit to Daqin, it is enough to ensure that her children and grandchildren will be prosperous and rich! ”
"What I said, you can write to her at that time, let her choose for herself, Yingzhou is very close to Daqin, and it will inevitably become the first place for the Central Plains to expand and plunder overseas, although the Six Kingdoms are destroyed, but there are still many ambitious kings and nobles left, once you learn that someone has established the Wei State in Yingzhou, there will inevitably be people who will go to grab the territory, and when the time comes, a small Yingzhou will emerge Many people will stand up as kings and fight each other, and it will inevitably be chaotic, but the world is so big, why bother to nest in such a small place to claim the king, Beyond the South China Sea, in the West, that's where they should show their talents! ”
"Husband Jun is far-sighted, I hope that Sister Beiyan will be able to understand it by then, if she is really willing to go to Australia, we can also go to see those magical kangaroos at that time, there is a nursery bag on the chest, what is that like......" Shui's soft and beautiful cheeks were full of yearning and confusion.
