Chapter 12: The Sultry Girl's Feelings
In the hall, Lin Jue and Jiang Quan sat here quietly, drinking freshly brewed tea.
"Sir Jiang, what do you think of this house?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.
At this time, Jiang Quan had not fully accepted the fact that he was suddenly exonerated and said with a wry smile: "Five years ago, I was here to restore the blueprints of the Victory. But I'm curious, why did Your Majesty suddenly pardon me and reinstate me as an official?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has never blamed you, the reason why you were imprisoned and blamed all the responsibility for the sinking ship on you was just a trick to prevent other countries from thinking about you, a genius engineer." ”
Seeing that Jiang Quan hadn't fully understood the whole story, Lin Jue was a little helpless, and explained the matter from beginning to end.
"However, Your Majesty has released you this time, but there is a very important task to be entrusted to you. ”
Jiang Quan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "What task?"
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Shipbuilding." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Quan was excited at first, but then he gave up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't mind, this ghost place, if you want to build a ship, it's more difficult than climbing to the sky." Last time, I finally built it, but there was such a bad accident, and I was imprisoned for five years. If you don't make it, you won't make anything. ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I didn't say that I wanted to build it in this ghost place and go to the Eastern Continent." ”
Jiang Quan thought for a moment and frowned: "This is a good idea, there is no high-quality wood in the Orlante Kingdom, but it is everywhere in the Eastern Continent. However, shipbuilding is a systematic project, and there is enough wood there, but there are not enough craftsmen. ”
As if thinking of something, Jiang Quan hurriedly grabbed Lin Jue's sleeve and asked, "Hey, can you say that Your Majesty will release me out to build a ship, then your own task will not be easier than mine, right?" What did Your Majesty arrange for you to do?"
Lin Jue scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "It's nothing, it's just pulling His Majesty into the gang and opening a company." ”
Jiang Quan's expression froze, and he was stunned: "It can't be the infamous East India Company in the legend, right?
Lin Jue shook his head like a rattle and shouted, "No, no, no, can the matter of the traverser be called degenerate? Besides, there is an essential difference between my company and the East India Company. ”
Jiang Quanhu said suspiciously: "What difference can there be?"
"The East India Company is to harm the indigenous people of the lower civilizations, the problem is this world, I just want to scourge me, you go and find me an aboriginal who can be harmed by me. ”
"And ah, this company is actually like this......"
After Lin Jue explained to Jiang Quan for most of the day, Jiang Quan suddenly realized, and the eyes of the two looked at each other and showed each other a fox-like smile.
Jiang Quan asked, "You mean, Your Majesty has also joined the shares, right?
Lin Jue stretched out a slap and said, "It's not much, it's only 500,000 gold coins." ”
Jiang Quan roughly estimated, well, the net income of the Orlante Kingdom every year is about 100,000 gold coins, and said with a wry smile: "That's really a bloody investment, it seems that Your Majesty has also made up his mind." ”
The palace of the Orlante Kingdom, it has been a week since he crossed into this world, and Lin Jue sighed with emotion, this is the second time he has come here. The first time he came here, he was only thinking about how to get out, but the second time he came here, his mood had completely changed, and he couldn't wait to come here now, because there was someone he cared about.
When he came to the Imperial Garden, Lin Jue saw from a distance that in front of the flowers, a delicate figure was half-squatting on the ground, teasing the butterflies flying among the flowers.
"Your Highness the Princess. Lin Jue bowed and saluted.
When Mo Kexin heard this voice, his body trembled slightly, and only after a while did he turn around, look at Lin Jue with a surprised face, and said in surprise: "I thought I wouldn't see you for a long time." ”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I have asked Your Majesty for instructions, and in the future, I can come to the palace once a week to ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness for peace." ”
Mo Kexin's face blushed and asked softly, "By the way,...... Yesterday, my father told me about you, and he ...... Ask me what my impression of you is. ”
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Your Majesty won't tell her the news of my marriage proposal, right?" But I'm not ready to face her, what should I do?"
Mo Kexin just stood in place shyly, silent, unable to see what was in his heart. Lin Jue's answer to her, both expectant and afraid, has been waiting. For a moment, both of them were silent and did not say a word. Beside them, birds were chirping and fluttering, gently flying past the two of them.
Lin Jue's old face was a little red, he took a deep breath, and took the initiative to ask, "Then how did you answer?"
After being silent for a long time, Mo Kexin seemed to have made up her mind, raised her head and stared at Lin Jue, as if she had exhausted all her strength, gasping for breath, her voice trembling a little, and said firmly: "I said...... I like you. ”
Hearing this, Lin Jue's mind was a little messy for a while, yes, he proposed to His Majesty the King, but he wasn't sure if this proposal could be successful, he liked her, this little girl who was as beautiful as a real angel, lovely, simple, and ignorant of the world, gave him a different feeling, the first time he saw her, he liked her. But he wasn't sure what this girl's impression of him was, that night, the two of them sat on the ground together, looking at the vast night sky, looking at the stars twinkling in the sky, Lin Jue told her a story, he could feel that she had a good impression of him. It was because he liked her, sympathized with her fate, and hoped to take her to see the outside world, so his mind was hot, so he came up with such a series of plans, and proposed to His Majesty the King in a daze. He hesitated, he didn't know if this simple girl would accept him, if he would be abrupt about the beauty? But today, she says, she likes herself.
The corners of Lin Jue's mouth squirmed slightly, he wanted to say something, but he was afraid, as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
Mo Kexin held her breath, her little face flushed, as if she was waiting for Lin Jue's answer, likewise, expectant and afraid.
"With such a red face, what more can a husband ask for?"
Lin Jue took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently took the beautiful woman in front of him into his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.
After a long time, the two reluctantly parted, and Lin Jue whispered in her ear: "Your Highness, believe me, wait for me, within three years, I will definitely create a career that will shock Your Majesty, and at that time, I will propose to you and take you to see this colorful and magnificent world." ”
Mo Kexin showed a beautiful smile, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, beautiful. With tears oozing from excitement in the corners of her eyes, she said softly, "Didn't I say it? I believe in you, I'll wait for you." ”
"Also, na, when no one is there in the future, you don't need to call me Your Highness, just call me Kexin. Mo Kexin put his hands behind his back, tilted his little head, and smiled.
Lin Jue replied softly: "Obey, Kexin, my Royal Highness the Princess." ”
On the castle next to the garden, a gray-haired old man, looking at Mo Kexin's cheerful figure through the window, had a complicated mood, and couldn't help but sigh: "Youth, it's good to be young, alas, the woman is not left." ”
A month has passed, in this month's time, the headquarters of the National Eastern Continent Trading Company of the Kingdom of Orlante has been established, Lin Jue deservedly served as the chairman, and concurrently served as the general manager, after the country greatly publicized to the people that the East Continent has countless treasures and rich materials, and the concept of stocks was greatly promoted, soon, when Lin Jue sighed at the amazing wealth that the country has, the company raised more than 5 million gold coins from the entire country. At the same time, Lin Jue will personally lead a business team to embark on a journey to the Yan Empire to carry out the first task of colonizing the Eastern Continent - forming a transport fleet.
