How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 484: Defend the Homeland, Avoid Romantic Entanglements
At that time, Pei Shu’er can completely take out the excess rice from the space and sell it, at a fair price, so that the common people can afford to eat.
Making money while saving people, why not do it?
As for money, naturally the more the better.
Her plan is to open branches, from Jingzhou to Xuzhou, to Huai State, and if possible, seek cooperation in the Jiangnan region.
That place is prosperous, and Liu Xu’s family is from there, so Liu Xu can also visit her family.
Otherwise, by the time they return to the Capital, they might be covertly put under house arrest by the Emperor.
If they don’t listen to the Emperor, then as Tao Mingxuan said, the only option might be rebellion.
Of course, she guesses that this is exactly what Tao Mingxuan would be most happy to do.
After all, in that case, he could justifiably snatch his noble concubine Lin Guipin back from the Emperor.
Given his vengeful nature, this wouldn’t be surprising at all.
Pei Shu’er said, "Do you need some powerful weapons?"
Tang Zan said, "Such as?"
Pei Shu’er smiled, "Like cannons or something."
Tang Zan couldn’t help but laugh, "Even if you give me those things, I’m afraid they would have to be handed over to the Capital."
"The previous earth bomb formula and the catapult manufacturing methods are already archived in the Capital’s document library."
Pei Shu’er nodded, "In that case, let’s make more catapults, they’re worth the effort."
"I asked Tao Mingxuan, he didn’t hand over the catapult data to the Dazi, so we can still take the initiative."
Their plans were good, but after small-scale defensive battles, they discovered that the catapults had been deployed and indeed had been debugged.
Listening to these Dazi, it was Jing Ci who debugged them.
As for Jing Ci, Tang Zan never dared to underestimate her, she was a female general as formidable as his father.
However, even with the catapults, the Dazi still lost.
The current strategy at the Gulan Military Camp is to use mass assault tactics, primarily to train new soldiers.
In this way, the Dazi went from being rampant to being cautious later on.
After losing repeatedly, Tuoba Jun was substituted for the Dazi.
Upon seeing Tang Zan leading the troops, Tuoba Jun immediately started taunting.
"Incompetent child, watch as I, Tuoba Jun, sever your head and place it on Qing Rou’s grave."
Pei Shu’er, dressed in red attire, stood beside Tang Zan and couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
"Don’t boast, fight first and then talk."
This was also their first direct confrontation with Tuoba Jun. No wonder Tuoba Jun became Deputy General at such a young age; when charging, he was like a little cannonball.
Now that he has become Deputy General, his style of commanding troops is fierce.
Already holding grudges with Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan, he now was eager to come over directly and take their lives.
Ma Zhong’s squad almost couldn’t maintain control.
In the end, they still defeated Tuoba Jun.
There’s no other way, the Gulan soldiers’ morale is sky-high, and with many people, they can be considered unbeatable in a hundred battles.
Moreover, the Dazi’s morale had been crushed. The massive defeat previously and some subsequent failures instilled fear in the Dazi.
Each one, strong as a bear, yet more cowardly than a mouse when facing the Gulan soldiers’ deafening battle cries.
As the Dazi were about to lose, Jing Ci stepped forward.
On the Dazi’s side, she was undoubtedly a heroine.
But among the Gulan soldiers, Jing Ci was seen as flattering the Dazi.
She and the Gulan soldiers had both victories and losses in battles.
However, this gave the Dazi a glimmer of hope.
Tang Peizhong looked at Jing Ci with some disappointment, his words not lacking in reproach.
"You actually degrade yourself to be the Dazi’s running dog! What happened to the female general who was once wholeheartedly for Dayan?"
Jing Ci laughed heartily, full of spirit.
"Now call me Kedun."
Tang Peizhong couldn’t be bothered to speak much with Jing Ci. He indeed had a past with Jing Ci, but that was when they were aligned in their paths, supporting each other.
Now, the two could only stand on opposing sides.
This battle ended in victory for the Gulan Military Camp.
As for Pei Shu’er, she went to the Deserted Mountain, and seeing its increasing prosperity, she was relieved.
She took the money made from selling goods out of the stone house, leaving only some as capital.
Then she said to Liu Xu, "Mother, let’s go to Jiangnan."
Liu Xu paused but was delighted in her heart.
Since her marriage, she hadn’t visited Jiangnan much, and now was a good opportunity.
She actually missed her family, as it had been seven or eight years since she’d last seen them.
She immediately entrusted the Deserted Mountain to Tang Qingning, who felt a bit aggrieved.
"Mother, I want to go too."
Liu Xu patted Tang Qingning on the shoulder, "Be good, once you finish training those people I’ve cultivated, then you can go anywhere."
Tang Qingning sighed, "Alright then."
But seeing Liu Xu leaving with Tang Shuo and Tang Qinghuan, Tang Qingning felt imbalanced again.
When Tang Peizhong heard they were heading to Jiangnan, he rushed to the Deserted Mountain, only to find they were long gone.
He had a bit of a headache.
He knew that Jiangnan had Liu Xu’s old flame, so he was uneasy about it.
Now that he and Liu Xu had separated, she could remarry if she wished.
Thinking of this, his heart ached unbearably.
Tang Zan was also displeased; he thought Pei Shu’er would bid him farewell before leaving, but she didn’t.
"Did Pei Shu’er leave anything for me?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Tang Qingning said, "I thought she already gave it to you."
Indeed, she had given it, but he thought Pei Shu’er wouldn’t leave so soon.
Tang Peizhong sighed, looking at Tang Zan.
"Zan’er, I might have to follow your mother to Jiangnan."
Tang Zan was in a foul mood, his tone chilly.
"Father, now is the time to defend the country, let’s avoid indulging in personal affairs."
Tang Peizhong glanced in the direction Liu Xu left, then at Tang Zan, and finally gritted his teeth.
Never mind, Liu Xu loved him the most. Even though she said she didn’t like him anymore, so many years of feelings couldn’t be put aside, so he just needed to wait for her anger to dissipate.
"You’re right."
It was just that Tang Peizhong didn’t expect to be severely proven wrong within less than a year.
They first headed to Su County.
This time, Pei Shu’er only brought a few carriages, a few drivers, Liu Xu, Tang Shuo, Tang Qinghuan, Zhen Xu, Lin Fengying, and a few young maids.
After all, Liu Xu was used to a comfortable life, and without maids, she might find it very inconvenient.
Moreover, someone needed to take care of the two little ones.
Upon reaching Su County, Pei Shu’er left behind the soap and beauty soap, then collected the recent income from Su County.
In one month, the net profit was 2,000 taels of silver.
Considering the spending level in Su County, it was already the top tier.
While eating, Zhen Xu and Lin Fengying finally revealed themselves.
While dining, Pei Shu’er calmly pushed aside her bowl of rice and asked for another bowl.
Zhen Xu glanced at Pei Shu’er coolly.
"How did you discover the poison?"
