The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Six seagoing ships lined up, occupying a long section of the pier. The goods on these six seagoing ships made the merchants guarding the pier jealous, and the soldiers who got off the ships were even more intimidating.

The merchants were jealous of the goods on the ship, but they didn't dare to do anything to bully the newcomers, as the price was still fair.

The sea breeze is blowing, and the pennants on the ship are fluttering!
It seems to be showing the strength of the owners of these ships. Now that the business has been negotiated, the merchants who left with the goods will look back at the soldiers on these ships.

The costumes are unified, but I don't know which faction's general it is, so I must find out clearly when I go back, so that I can know what to do next time.

Of course, among these inquiring people were sent by the housekeeper of the palace.

Ye Fei went to the lowest cabin and said to the hundreds of pirates squatting inside: "Since you have decided to surrender to our princess, you must be loyal in the future. If you let the general If you know who dares to stab a knife in the back, you will never let him go lightly, I will definitely screw his head off and kick him like a ball!"

After all, Ye Fei stepped out of the stuffy cabin first, and the soldiers who came in behind drove all the prisoners out of the cabin and let them disembark to go to the barracks first.

This group of pirates can live in that sea area for more than ten years, and they must have excellent skills. Now that they have surrendered to the princess, they must be trained next.

However, the thousand elite who went to sea this time will select soldiers who are not seasick, train with these pirates, and organize them into a navy to prepare for future voyages.

The spies reported that Zeng Yan heard the news and reported to King Qian without any delay.

King Qian was taken aback when he heard the news from Zeng Yantan, "What did you say? The princess went to sea once and got back six ships of supplies? They sold them all at the port?"

At this time, when he heard the news, he could no longer care about the princess's going to sea for a few days, and his attention was all attracted by the few ships of supplies.

The two gentlemen staying with King Qian also looked at Zeng Yan in surprise, suspecting that he had misunderstood the news.

She brought in six ships of supplies every time she went out to sea. Maybe there are mountains of gold and silver on the sea for her to fetch?
Seeing King Qian's shocked expression, Zeng Yan felt a little more balanced. When he first got the news, he was also shocked, and gave Xia Jing a thumbs up in his heart. There is no one in the palace who can make troubles like her!
However, at this moment, he answered King Qian's question with certainty, "This is absolutely true. Captain Ye who was with the princess was in charge at the time. When the goods were sold out, Captain Ye took the soldiers back to the barracks. The six ships at the pier also sailed away, it should be that the princess has her own pier."

King Qian and the two gentlemen looked at each other, feeling numb. His concubine could always go ahead of him when doing things, making it difficult for him to catch up even if he wanted to.

Mr. Zhang sighed, "The princess is considerate in everything, and her actions are a few steps faster than ours. We have been working hard to strengthen the power on the mainland these days, and she is already building a sea force. The princess is forward-looking. I can’t wait to flatter my horse, I’m really ashamed!”

Mr. Yan, a person who likes to be silent, couldn’t keep silent now. He said, “Actually, the root of these things is insufficient money and food. I have no food in my hand, and I feel panic! I have no money in my pocket and lack of courage! So Money and food limit the depth of our consideration of problems.

Now the soldiers and horses in the hands of the prince have reached a certain scale. According to the tax of Lingnan this year, these soldiers may be enough to feed and clothe them. If we want to expand, we will be in danger of running out of food, unless we can buy food from other places. "

Putting aside ordnance, several iron mines have been discovered in Lingnan, and there is no shortage of ironware in Lingnan for the time being.

After hearing what he said, King Qian turned his head to look at Zeng Yan, and asked, "Can you find out clearly, where did the concubine's supplies come from?"

Zeng Yan wiped the sweat off his face, and said his guess: "According to the report from the spies, they found that when Captain Ye led the team back to the outskirts of the city, there were hundreds of prisoners in their team. She behaves a bit like a pirate, so, do you think the concubine's supplies may have been copied from the pirate's lair?"

Mr. Zhang nodded, "It's possible, the princess likes to come up with strange tricks, and it's her style to copy pirates' lairs."

King Qian has been living in the capital city, and he has never been out of the capital area since he was a child. He knows little about maritime affairs. He asked the two gentlemen, "All pirates are rich?"

In his impression, the sea is vast and boundless, the passing ships are absolutely pitiful, and the environment is harsh. In such a predicament, shouldn't the pirates be so poor that they can only drink sea water?
Why did he take their words to mean that pirates are richer than land bandits?

Mr. Yan has some knowledge about this aspect, "Sea ships often have fixed routes when sailing at sea. As long as pirates stick to the fixed routes, they can easily find the target. If they find that the target is something they can deal with, they will attack. When the pirates attack, the attacked fleet will not be able to escape without any accidents, only the fate of being plundered."

King Qian was not familiar with the sea, but he was interested in everything about the sea, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions, "From what you said, the pirates seem to be very powerful, why did the princess plunder six ships of supplies as soon as she made a move? Do you think these pirates are too weak, or the princess is too strong?"

"Pirates are distributed according to their work. They are definitely willing to work hard for wealth, while sea caravans are often servants or hired sailors, and they get paid. It is unrealistic for salaried sailors to find pirates for their lives." As for the princess As to why he was able to defeat the pirates again, Mr. Yan guessed: "Perhaps it was a surprise that the princess copied the pirate's lair this time, and caught them off guard!"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang glanced at Mr. Yan meaningfully. This brother Yan really dared to say anything without understanding the situation. From his mouth, it seemed that the princess had become omnipotent.

King Qian seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked the two gentlemen, "This king's soldiers are no worse than those of the princess. You said that if this king also sent a team to the sea to raid a few pirate lairs, would it be okay?" Bring back a dozen ships of supplies?"

"Ahem!" Mr. Zhang was so startled that he choked on his own saliva when he heard the words. He stopped coughing and asked a very realistic question after receiving the attention of several people: "My lord's proposal is a good idea, but we Now the soldiers and horses are all sent to pacify Annan, where are the soldiers and horses going to sea?"

King Qian also thought of this incident, and asked regretfully: "Now that our military pay and food are limited, and the soldiers and horses in our hands are going out again, what do you think we should do?"

It's impossible for him to ask Xia Shi for a loan!

These words stopped the two gentlemen for a while, they couldn't change the money and food, what should they do?
They have also tried their best recently. According to the princess's wishes, they cleared the land to support the payment, suppressed the bandits and helped the payment, and raised a lot of food and payment.

It's just that the government guards here in Lingnan are rotten and corrupt. When he takes over, even a lot of hard work can't fill this huge hole!
When Mr. Yan saw the memorial on King Qian's desk, he had an idea and had an idea.

He pointed to the memorial on the case table, "Your Majesty, last time the guard on the Annan border did not submit a memorial to increase the food and payment. We can intervene here to reduce our food and payment expenses."

King Qian looked at the memorial on the case table, but didn't understand the meaning for a while, "What do you mean? Tell me about your method in detail."

Mr. Yan took a sip of tea, and then said: "According to what I know, it is a common practice for Dayu to pay nothing to guards in various places, even though most of the soldiers on the list are just filling in. I believe that the guards in Lingnan should be in the same situation. We can reject their memorial and let them report their real strength, and our food and salary will be distributed according to the actual strength of the troops, so we can save part of the food and salary."

King Qian was overjoyed that this matter could be done, but before making a decision, he turned to Mr. Zhang and asked, "What do you think of this proposal, sir?"

Mr. Zhang thinks Mr. Yan's proposal is very good, "We have previously implemented policies such as re-measurement of land and cleaning up hidden households in Fucheng. It's not impossible."

Over the years, the imperial government's control over the local government has become weaker and weaker. Anyone who has some power and position is thinking about how to make money. Who will become an official and go out of his way to fight against the entire officialdom?
Therefore, it has become a matter of everyone's tacit understanding that the barracks of the guards are empty.

Of course, it is different now that Lingnan is a fiefdom of the prince. Knowing that his slaves have made mistakes and corrupted, the master can't ignore it, and it's impossible to rely on it to develop.

"Since it's feasible, then send people to the various guards to check!" King Qian must be happy to relieve his burden, and turned to Anu who was standing behind him: "It's up to you to arrange who to send."

Anu didn't refuse, and agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Mr. Zhang added: "If you encounter a servant who pretends to be a soldier of the guard, the palace will no longer pay for it. If it is a servant, then whoever's servant will take care of it himself. If you want the palace to support you, then you can The servants can be confiscated, this matter can give them two days to think about it, and after thinking about it, they can make their own choice."

During the Huiyuan period, the imperial court did not pay taxes and the national treasury was empty, which caused the imperial court to be in arrears with the army's salaries.

Neither the guards nor the generals stationed at the border can receive military pay, no food, grass, and military pay. These troops are so hungry that there is nothing they can do. Some elites are raised by the coach in the name of family members. The eyes and ears are the servants.

No one will be so stupid as to show the matter of exceeding the limit.

King Qian looked at Anu.

Anu nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

Xia Jing returned to the palace, plunged into the bathroom, washed up and fell asleep, unaware of what happened in the study in the front yard.

It was dark when she woke up.

"Does the princess want to eat?" Baimei asked from outside.

"Ah."

Xia Jing responded, stretched her waist, put on her clothes and got out of bed, and wandered around on the boat for a few days, getting off the boat felt uncomfortable, maybe she hadn't adapted yet.

Hongmei came in and lit a few more lamps. Seeing that Xia Jing was not in the mood, she asked, "Has the princess recovered yet?"

Xia Jing rubbed her cheeks and nodded, "I'm exhausted, I feel weak all over, it's uncomfortable!"

"After the meal is finished, the servant will help you massage, and I will use the essential oil I made last time to massage you. Maybe you will feel better after sleeping."

"Okay, you can have this."

The so-called essential oil was made by Xia Jing who hid at home some time ago and let the maids get it out, and the utensils used were all made in her space.

There are many flowers in Lingnan, and it is a pity that these flowers are defeated, so they let the maids make essential oils.

Because of her exhaustion, Xia Jing didn't eat much at night, and asked to remove the food after she sat down a little.

After taking a bath again, and letting Hongmei massage her from time to time, Xia Jing fell asleep again not long after.

The next day, King Qian woke up early, and after exercising, he wanted to share breakfast with Xia Jing.

Just after he washed up and rushed to Yigui Courtyard, Xia Jing had already left the door with her maid and her personal guards.

King Qian looked at the empty room, his expression changed several times.

Anu noticed the expression on his master's face, a dead fish's eyes were not squinting, and a cold face was trying to stay tense, maintaining his personality.

After a long time, I heard King Qian's resentful words above his head, "I've wasted my heart in vain!"

Say it and walk away.

Anu glanced at the empty room, and hurriedly followed without saying a word.

Then Xia Jing, who had left the door, went to the iron workshop first, and then came out of her carriage, followed by a dozen or so carriages.

In a tea house near the north city gate, Tong Song stood by the window and noticed a dozen or so carriages on the street. The leading two-headed carriage, without asking, knew that it belonged to Prince Qian's Mansion.

Looking at the style of the carriage again, one can tell that the one sitting inside is Princess Qian.

But where is Princess Qian going with a dozen or so carriages?

Seeing him standing by the window and staring in one direction, Niu Yongcheng stood up and went to the window, "Master Tong, who are you looking at? Did you see a beauty?"

After that, he stretched his neck and looked out along his line of sight, only to see a long motorcade queuing up at the entrance of Beicheng.

He let out a "huh", "Whose team is this, a big blue carriage, with a lot of handwriting."

Tong Song said indifferently: "It's from Qianwang's mansion."

"Prince Qian's Mansion?" Niu Yongcheng was slightly surprised, and stretched his neck to look out again. Now that he focused his attention, he saw the double-headed carriage in front, "This is Princess Qian's carriage!"

Tong Song didn't answer him, turned around and sat back on the chair, "Speaking of which, the last time we went to Luofu Mountain to suppress the bandits was our luck. We just gave up Luofu Mountain and came out, when we heard that the prince was injured."

Niu Yongcheng also sat back in his chair, ignored the extra horse convoy, and took over the quarrel, "Who said it wasn't, it's a good thing we gave up Simalu's department at the beginning, otherwise, with the strength of Simalu's department, even if we found their I can't do anything to them in the old nest, maybe they will be in danger."

Even Li Chengshang, who was protected by layers of guards, could be assassinated. They felt that their guards could not be tighter than Li Chengshang.

In this way, if they find Sima Lu's troops, it is unknown whether the opponent will be harmed, but the team organized by their forces will be wiped out.

"I heard that the prince's mansion is abolished? Have you heard the news?" Tong Song felt that the news was not true, so he asked Niu Yongcheng to confirm.

Niu Yongcheng pointed to his brain, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the wound was infected and had a fever. It lasted for three days, and finally I became a fool."
