Xia Fengxiang's face was full of disdain, but his ears were red: "Who cares."
Then, he reopened the box and said, "Logically, you should take the Phoenix Ring and I should take the Dragon Ring, but you should take the Dragon Ring."
Su Changan shook his head: "Let's get together. It's better to stay together forever."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood. After muttering a few words, he put the box away.
Su Changan thought for a while and asked, "Did Yang Shanchang send me something because of the Rouge Shop incident?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Well, Yang Guofu and his men did this secretly. When Yang Shanchang found out, he scolded them and came to me. I told him that this matter had nothing to do with me and was your business. So he did this, but I didn't expect him to be so willing to take out this thing and even invite Mu Xu to be a lobbyist. But I want to tell you, this matter is not over until Su Liheng gets the shop. If you touch my people, don't think that it will be over by giving a few things."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "I feel like I'm being protected by a domineering empress."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "Who is so domineering!"
After saying that, he snorted, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"
As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang turned around and sat cross-legged in front of Su Changan and asked, "Now tell me about the warships. Shipping is a very special thing. My father was always thinking about this when he was alive. He said that if Daxia wanted to move to a higher level, shipping would be the first priority. And when you mentioned that ugly thing you drew before, you said that you could get a lot of gold with it. Tell me about it, too."
Su Changan frowned and said, "Someone doesn't allow me to get involved in these things, so I won't say anything."
Xia Fengxiang's eyes widened: "You are not allowed to get involved in the party dispute. It's between me and those people. I let you get involved because I'm afraid you'll be in danger! This matter is not a party dispute, it's the affairs of the Great Xia State. Moreover, it's a matter of state. After we get married, you will officially become the Queen. By then, you won't be able to hide even if you want to. Tell me quickly, or I'll be angry!"
Su Changan stopped joking and picked up a pen and paper and drew two circles, one big and one small.
Then he said: "This is our Daxia, this is Japan, and the gold is in Japan."
Xia Fengxiang frowned when he heard this: "After the envoys who went to Japan came back, they mentioned that the nobles of Japan bought things with gold cakes, but how much gold can such a small country have?"
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "A lot!"
Xia Fengxiang was surprised.
Su Changan went on to say: "It's not about how much they have, but that their island is full of gold and silver mines, especially gold mines."
Su Changan checked a lot of information and confirmed that the Japan in this world is no different from the one in his previous life, which means that the resources on the Japanese island are no different.
Moreover, Su Changan remembered very clearly that the so-called Warring States Period of Japan was supported by gold and silver mines, and gold and silver mines were mined on a large scale at that time.
And even if it wasn't the Warring States Period yet, there was already gold everywhere.
That's why Marco Polo called it the Treasure Island.
Su Changan continued, "And over there, as you just said, gold is the currency in circulation, so many of them don't know the true value of gold. I checked their business dealings with Daxia, and they also mostly trade in gold."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, thought for a while and murmured, "I do remember an incident in the past. My great grandfather rewarded the Japanese envoy with 100 gold taels. They asked if it could be exchanged for silver, so I exchanged it for 500 taels of silver as they wished. Can it be understood that the exchange rate of gold to silver over there is 1:5?"
Su Changan curled his lips and stretched out his hand to pinch Xia Fengxiang's nose: "Why are you still thinking about doing trade with them? Is it necessary? They are all our vassal states, so we can just send troops to colonize them. Then let the people over there mine gold and ship the gold back to our Great Xia. We can take all the gold we have, and they can just give us some unwanted things as rewards."
Xia Fengxiang was puzzled: "Colonization?"
Su Changan nodded and explained: "It means conquering that country."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "Have you read the books in my imperial study?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment.
Xia Fengxiang said: "Although I didn't say the word colonization, my father once wanted to occupy Japan and make it a state of Daxia, and then use that country as a place to station troops to prevent it from deterring the barbarians. As for the people of Japan, my father didn't like the people of that country very much. After dealing with them a few times, he said that the Japanese were lowly people who didn't know what gratitude and righteousness were. They seemed to learn the Confucian etiquette of Daxia, but in fact they were just superficial. If Daxia declined a little, the lowly people of Japan would definitely be betrayed, so my father canceled some of the aid to Japan. But, you know, my father left without doing many things."
Speaking of this, Xia Fengxiang sighed helplessly.
Su Changan reached out and touched his face, then said, "Next time when we pay tribute to our father, I want to have a couple of drinks with him."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, wondering what this crazy thing was.
However, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and asked, "If it really has so much gold, we can take it down. Besides, my father has been preparing for it in the early years, so he has many warships and naval forces in Jiaodong. However, we can't be impatient about this matter. There are still many things to do in the country. When everything is settled, we can take action. I originally planned to carry out my father's last wish and help him do this. Besides, when we get married, people from Japan will come. I will ask them about the gold in their country. If there is really a lot of gold, we will make a lot of money if we take it down. After all, it's just a small country, so it won't cost much troops."
Su Changan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know that an arrogant army will be defeated? Wait until warships are invented, and then it will be safer to fight."
Xia Fengxiang scolded, "I know better than you! And if my brother Zongze heard you mention installing cannons on warships today, he might be even more excited than brother Zhu Huang. He grew up by the sea and is very proficient in both land and sea warfare. It's a pity that he is now guarding the barbarians in the north and cannot escape. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would definitely be so excited today that he would come up with tactics overnight."
Excuse me for saying this, Xia Fengxiang thought about it and frowned at Su Changan: "How did you know that Japan has so many gold mines and so many inventions?"
Su Changan sighed and said meaningfully: "Read books. The more books you read, the more you will know."
Just when Su Changan said this, he saw Xia Fengxiang coming over.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, he gave her a kiss.
On his lips, Su Changan tasted the long-lost softness.
Xia Fengxiang's face flushed. He stood up, looked at Su Changan and said, "You performed well today, so I give you a reward. If you keep up the good work, I will naturally reward you more."
Su Changan pursed his lips, thought for a while and said, "Including hugging and sleeping together?"
Xia Fengxiang blinked, then his face turned red in an instant. He raised his fist and hit Su Changan.
Su Changan grabbed Xia Fengxiang's arm and pulled him towards himself.
Xia Fengxiang immediately fell into Su Changan's arms, her face turned even redder, but she did not resist. She just glared at Su Changan and then lay in Su Changan's arms, her heart beating fast.
Su Changan glanced at Xia Fengxiang and was about to speak when he felt something and looked up at the old tree in the central courtyard of Lingqi Pavilion.
then
Then he saw an old woman standing under the tree, staring at him.
Chapter 145 Mother-in-law left a letter for the Queen
Seeing the old woman, Su Changan was silent for a moment, making sure that he was not dazzled.
Su Changan turned his head.
Is it dirty?
It doesn't look like it.
What is that.
And why would an old woman suddenly appear in Lingqi Pavilion? What else could suddenly appear here except for something dirty, and not let Yan Yunxiao and Yan Ruyu find out?
Well, it is indeed dirty stuff!
Su Changan made a judgment in his heart.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan who didn't move, raised his eyes to look at Su Changan who had a serious face, and wondered: "What's wrong?"
As he said that, he stood up and looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan blocked Xia Fengxiang's face to prevent her from looking over there.
According to Su Changan’s memory from his previous life.
People who often encounter dirt often say that as long as they ignore the dirt and pretend not to see it, there will be no problem.
So Su Changan decided to ignore that dirty guy and continue chatting with Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan curiously, not quite understanding what had happened.
But you have to speak up.
Su Changan said, "How about we go to the imperial study to talk about love? It's exciting there."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, sat up and looked at Su Changan with some confusion: "What happened to you suddenly? Are you sick again?"
Because Xia Fengxiang sat up suddenly, Su Changan didn't have time to stop him. While speaking, Xia Fengxiang looked in the direction of the old woman.
Su Changan wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He immediately turned his head and looked at the place where the dirty thing was.
Found nothing.
This made Su Changan gasp. Great, it was indeed a dirty thing!
So, Su Changan sat up and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Let's go, we can't stay here anymore."
As he said that, he pulled Xia Fengxiang up.
Xia Fengxiang still looked confused.
But just when Su Changan was pulling Xia Fengxiang and planning to leave, he turned around.
Then they saw the old woman standing in the direction they were going.
Xia Fengxiang was stunned when he saw the old woman's expression.
Su Changan immediately covered Xia Fengxiang's eyes with his hands, turned his head away, pretending not to see it, and pulled Xia Fengxiang to go around.
What a dirty thing that could come out in broad daylight!
This is quite a skill!
And
Are there still immortals in this world? Isn't it said that there are no immortals? If there are no immortals, how can there be ghosts?
Xia Fengxiang took Su Changan's hand away: "What are you doing?"
After saying this, he looked at the old woman with some joy.
but
The old woman said, "She treats me like a dirty thing."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned, and suddenly thought of how Su Changan had been muttering about dirty things recently. Then he looked at the old woman and wanted to laugh.
When Su Changan heard the dirty guy talking, he thought that this dirty guy was so powerful. Then he saw his wife's silly look and didn't know what to say.
How come he looks so smart at normal times, but becomes so stupid at critical moments?
But even if I think so, what can I do with my wife in this state? I still have to take her away with me, otherwise she will be left for the dirty things to feast on.
So Su Changan covered Xia Fengxiang's eyes with one hand, and covered one of his ears with the other hand while holding Xia Fengxiang in his arms.
Let Xia Fengxiang not see or hear any dirty things.
Although Xia Fengxiang is the emperor, he is actually just a human being, a living emperor. What does he have to do with dirty things?
The old woman rolled her eyes when she saw Su Changan's action.
Xia Fengxiang even pushed Su Changan's hand away in one go.
Su Chang'an immediately said: "You can't see anything, you can't hear anything, do you understand? Let's go to the Imperial Study Room."
