MTL - My Wife is the Villain King Shark-Chapter 26
Of course, the boom period is not just a matter of a few hours, but a time as long as spring. In the next two or three months, Ji Xuanbing spends one third of his time in bed.
The little shark's eyebrows and eyes opened in a short period of time. Originally, it was a young peach, which was green and cute, but now it looks like a ripe peach, full of water and juicy.
"Have you entered a boom period..." When Ji Xuanbing returned to the sea, the high priest noticed the difference in him at first sight, and his slender eyebrows like willow leaves immediately twitched.
Ji Xuanbing said frankly: "Yes."
He looks like this, obviously he was very happy during the boom period. Thinking about it, Ji Xuanbing has never suffered any loss from childhood to adulthood. The high priest looked at him and didn't say anything about splashing cold water, but just lost a large bag of things. give him.
Ji Xuanbing asked curiously, "What is this?"
The high priest said angrily: "You can bear the medicine to make up your body, but that human may not be able to bear it. Maybe it will be superficial and prestige, and it will not work after a while."
The merman has a very good appearance. During the boom period, he will exude a special atmosphere to attract his spouse. She doesn't want to be a few months later. .
"Chaosheng will not be so useless!"
The high priest wanted to roll his eyes regardless of his image, but he still held back: "Do you want it? No, I'll take it back."
"The kindness of the high priest, I will definitely accept it."
Even so, Ji Xuanbing took the big bag down. Ordinary clansmen treat any minor ailments by themselves, and for serious illnesses, they seek the high priest, and it is right to listen to the high priest. If the grace is not available, he can eat it himself.
Thinking of Jiang Chaosheng, Ji Xuanbing's ears turned pink like peach blossoms again. Since this time, he has cried so much that pearls have saved up several dressing boxes. He cried too much, just to make up for it.
Ji Xuanbing also made a reservation in advance: "High priest, if you wait for me to conceive a cub, high priest, you must help me hatch the eggs and take care of the little merman together."
He will try his best to take care of his little merman, but if there are too many births accidentally, he will definitely need the help of the high priest.
The main reason is that the benefactor is a human, and Ji Xuanbing is worried about letting other humans take care of his cubs.
"Do you have a cub?" The door that the high priest had just closed opened again. The mermaid clan is struggling, and every cub is precious. Even though there is a boom every year, there are already more than ten in the clan. No new cubs were born.
Ji Xuanbing held her head high and said proudly: "Not now, but I am so powerful, and my benefactor is so powerful. After the boom period, maybe there will be."
The high priest closed the door of his house with a blank expression: "Let's go and find your benefactor."
This time the shark emperor was not saved. When the little shark was born, she must teach her well. The high priest was quite depressed. The prophecy said that the new shark emperor would lead the merman family to new glory.
She saw that Ji Xuanbing was very aggressive at first, and she was worried that he would fight everywhere. Although the merman are good at fighting, they don't like fighting and killing very much. The key is that there are only so many people in the clan, and it does not mean that they can really control the territory.
The high priest thought about Ji Xuanbing taking a bite of a small fish, and thought blankly, could it be that the new shark emperor's way of growing the race is to give birth? After all, Ji Xuanbing has always had good luck, and the human he found seems to be quite reliable.
Ji Xuanbing couldn't guess what the high priest was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely take on this sweet burden with great pride. They are mermen, creatures in the ocean. Most of them give birth to a lot of children. A male seahorse can even give birth to a thousand small seahorses. Even those wise seahorses can give birth to one at a time. There are five or ten, which is very enviable for the rare merman.
But it's not good to have too many cubs. Ji Xuanbing thought about Jiang Chaosheng's character. Engong said that he was indifferent, but he was a very gentle and good person. Treat him gentle and considerate. , if it's eggs and little sharks, they have to be sent to the deep sea in the early stage. After all, he doesn't know what form the little fish will be born in, and it may take a long time to hatch the eggs.
After the boom period, Jiang Chaosheng ushered in his first autumn on the island.
He flipped through the almanac in his hand and discussed the time with Ji Xuanbing: "Our new home will be built soon. When the new house is built, we will move there."
The new home is undoubtedly farther from the old house, but when Jiang Chaosheng built a new residence, he specially arranged for someone to dig out an underground passage, about a few kilometers away, allowing Ji Xuanbing to travel between the old and new houses.
Jiang Chaosheng used his spiritual power to open up a new waterway. The little merman swims very fast in the water. The 20-kilometer road normally takes half a quarter of an hour.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ji Xuanbing doesn't know much about the auspicious days of human beings. Anyway, marrying a chicken follows a chicken and marrying a dog. Woolen cloth.
Ji Xuanbing asked him: "Is there enough money, if not, I will send someone to salvage the sunken ship in the sea."
Even if some small broken boats, the big boats still have some valuable human belongings, which can be used by Jiang Chaosheng. He is not very good at housekeeping either, but Ji Xuanbing is rich!
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "The money is enough, you don't have to worry about this, there are still not enough people."
Jiang Chaosheng kept most of the pink and blue pearls Ji Xuanbing cried, but only a few of them were shipped to the prosperous part of the capital and auctioned at a high price.
He originally just wanted to eat and wait to die, but the existence of the little merman is too unnatural, and in addition to protecting his mother and brother, Qiongzhou City must still have the ability to protect itself. Jiang Chaosheng can protect many people, but he can't keep these people trapped in the city and living in a glass cover every day.
He flipped through the registration book sent over and arrived at Qiongzhou Island for half a year. The registered population of this city has grown from 500 people at the beginning to 9,532 people, of which more than 2,000 people are Once moved out from Qiongzhou, learned that Qiongzhou was newly built, and brought back with his family, more than 4,000 soldiers were raised by Jiang Chaosheng himself.
Among them, more than 1,000 people belonged to his original Eleventh Prince's Palace, and more than 3,000 people were placed by Lou Zhan and his elder brother. The remaining part is the dowry of Ji Xuanbing's "Princess", and the captured "pirates".
Although Jiang Chaosheng is far away from the capital now, he still has a concubine and a brother who still remain in the center of the whirlpool. The old emperor is very old, and his suspicions are particularly serious. The original owner was assigned because he threatened the throne. , If the army is trained and the troops are self-respecting, the old emperor will definitely not be able to stand it.
Most of the people are unarmed and weak and can be bullied. Well-trained soldiers can defeat ten or even a hundred. 100,000 civilians are not too many, but more than 10,000 elite soldiers are quite powerful in this era.
There are nearly 200,000 people in Wangzhou City next door. The soldiers are 10,000 people, and the part that can be called elite soldiers is only more than 1,000. But the people will not leave their hometowns easily. In the current Qiongzhou City, the natural growth rate of population has slowed down a lot. After all, this is not a game, and it is not the expansion of the land. As the number of houses increases, many people will get news and move in.
Ji Xuanbing: "If there is no one, it's better not to buy it."
Although he didn't understand the human kingdom very well, he also knew that they owned slaves, because there were often cargo ships transporting slaves at sea, and they were all skinny and pitiful.
Jiang Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, then he kissed Ji Xuanbing fiercely and said, "You are so smart." He is not from this era, he is not so impressed with many things, and it is easy to fall into misunderstandings for a while.
It is difficult for ordinary people to get it, so buy slaves, because he has money anyway.
The little merman was very proud: "I am very smart."
In this dynasty, there was slave trading. People from defeated countries would be used as slaves and flow into the market. A considerable part were local criminal slaves, and a small part was defeated in political struggles. The nobles who were once aloof were reduced to adults. Everyone can step on the official slave.
Slaves are nominally the property of their masters and have no human rights, but the Zhoucheng order prepared by Jiang Chaosheng is different. He stipulated a new system. The slaves in his house made contributions, and they could get contribution coins. The contribution coins deducted their daily expenses for food and lodging. After accumulating to a certain level, they could redeem themselves.
According to the list he made, the contribution coins will continue to increase. When he bought these slaves, as long as they worked hard enough, they could redeem themselves and change their slave status into good ones.
However, these shocking contents were arranged internally by Jiang Chaosheng and were not officially released, because turning a large number of slaves into good people would violate the interests of slave owners. Even if there are not many people, some keen hyenas will smell the danger and pounce on his flesh and blood.
He was waiting for an opportunity to find a reasonable excuse. The big marriage of the city lord and the princess is obviously a wonderful excuse. When the emperor ascends the throne, he must give amnesty to the world. It is normal for him to issue some slave-friendly policies for his beloved princess, right?
Jiang Chaosheng couldn't help kissing the little merman next to him again: "Xuan Bing, you are really my lucky star."
Ji Xuanbing went back in person: "Chaosheng is also my lucky star!"
