Chapter 728 Acquisition
Although Prince Hader is the eldest prince, he should be the most likely person to inherit the king's position in terms of succession.
However, it was not he who could not stand the old king's favorite son.
Therefore, it is still unknown which prince can sit in that position on the side of the fog capital now.
The Ning family wanted to go to the west and north, although they were very poor.
But in the same way, there is much less strife.
As a partner of the Ning family, John naturally didn't want anything to happen to Ning Pengpeng.
After all, if something really happened, he couldn't explain it to Ning Laosi.
Although he took refuge with Prince Hader, he was always a businessman after all.
Under the measure, it is the best thing to let the Ning family hide now.
Ning Pengpeng saw that John agreed so happily, and then thought of the rumors in the city during this time, and knew that there must be some movement inside.
In this case, she naturally accepted John's affection, and the next day, she left the manor with everyone, leaving only some subordinates and slaves.
However, Ning Pengpeng didn't expect that Anna would also leave with them.
Anna didn't notice the abnormality in the city, but felt that she was really in love with Ning Jin'er, and since Ning Jin'er was going out to play, she naturally had to follow.
She wouldn't say that it was because she had heard how wild the men in the west were, so she wanted to open her eyes.
After Ning Pengpeng and his party left, after about half a month, the fog changed.
Rao is Ning Pengpeng and the others were so far away from the fog capital, and they were also in the town where they settled, and they got the news from the fog capital.
This news made Ning Pengpeng can't help but ponder.
Because, the old king died.
Then, Prince Hard, who is the first in line to the throne, and Prince Ed, who is the most favored by the old king, fight for the throne.
In the end, Prince Hader, with the support of Armand, seized the throne.
However, this throne is a little shaky and not so secure.
Because Prince Ide was not caught, but was rescued by his henchmen and the ministers who supported him.
Although he escaped from the fog capital, it doesn't mean that he won't make a comeback.
And Armand, who supported Prince Haard, was also a very big blow to him because of the previous monthly salary caused by the soldiers below him.
The most important point is that some of his soldiers are disheartened.
Those who did not participate in the previous battles also knew how to protect themselves.
If the knights are summoned by Prince Ed, it is still unknown whether the fog will be able to hold it by then.
For Ning Pengpeng, since John has taken refuge in Prince Hard, she naturally hopes that Prince Harder can gain a firm foothold.
However, with Prince Ed here, Prince Hader probably doesn't have much to think about anything else in order to deal with this younger brother.
For the Ning family, it is not a good thing.
After all, the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.
Ning Pengpeng doesn't know who will win and who will lose Prince Hader and Prince Ed in the future, but in this struggle, she can fish in troubled waters.
Sure enough, on the way to the next one.
The closer you get to the west, the vast expanse of land is overgrown with barren weeds.
As long as they inquired a little, they learned that Ning Pengpeng and they had the intention to buy, and most of them were very happy to give an ultra-low price to sell.
Of course, there are also people who don't look like they are here, and deliberately ask for a high price.
Such a person, Ning Pengpeng directly asked people to go out.
There was the one who was not convinced, and wanted to come to attack in the middle of the night, but was beaten by Ning Yongkang with the guards.
It can be said that Ning Yongkang became famous in one battle.
Later, when they arrived in the next town, someone had already inquired about Ning Yongkang's appearance, and when they saw him, they all shrunk their necks and didn't dare to shout at the Ning family.
I'm afraid that this evil star, one of them will be unhappy, and they will slaughter all the towns and cities!
At the beginning, Ning Yongkang didn't know that he had won the name of a bad star, and he was quite happy that these people were very interested in seeing them.
Later, I learned that the gang of people who were beaten by him actually ruined his reputation like this outside, and almost didn't make Ning Yongkang's nose crooked!
And Ning Pengpeng and Ning Jin'er learned about it, but their bodies were stilted with laughter.
When he saw that Ning Yongkang was really angry, he smiled and comforted him, it was better to be afraid than to be bullied.
Ning Yongkang, who was also disappointed, was open-minded, and when he thought about the words of his grandmother and sister Jin'er, it was really like this, so he left this matter behind.
However, because of Ning Yongkang's murderous reputation, in the following towns, it became easier for Ning Pengpeng to exchange pearls for land.
After Ning Pengpeng acquired four towns from those nobles in a row, he did not continue to go west.
Although she knew that if she went further west, she would be able to exchange for bigger land and more slaves.
Ning Pengpeng felt that he couldn't become a fat man by eating in one go.
The land contained in these four towns would be enough to feed tens of thousands of troops if there was a good harvest.
Moreover, no matter how much land there is, no one will manage and plant it, and it will be in vain.
She had to grow food in these barren lands before she could attract people.
Ning Pengpeng hoped that the towns he bought would not only have slaves, but also civilians who could not have enough to eat.
This time when he came to the west, Ning Pengpeng had already planned what he was going to do next.
Therefore, when those lands were cultivated, Ning Pengpeng asked Ning Jin'er to lead people to send out corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
The crops that came to the Great Jin Dynasty from here came back and were planted again.
These crops are no strangers to the locals.
It's just that because the land is barren, even if you plant it, the yield is not much.
Of course, the most important thing is to hand over a large amount of output, and the rest is not enough for the next year to be used for seeds.
Originally, the big guy thought that the new master had some ability to keep them from going hungry!
Unexpectedly, it was still planted with the original crop.
Not even wheat was planted.
You know, the most common bread eaten here is bread made of wheat flour.
However, in addition to the disappointment, they found a little different, that is, the planting method was very different from what they had originally planted.
In this regard, many people who have been farming all their lives have expressed doubts.
However, the land was not theirs, and they had to do what the new owner asked them to do.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to be kicked out of town.
Although the land here is barren, they have lived here for generations, and they can't do it if they move out.
So, even if they have a stomach full of doubts and reluctance, they have to do it.
Even, some people wept bitterly while farming.
When I think of planting like this, if the harvest is not good, I don't know how many people will starve to death?
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
