Chapter 535 The fief is a big pit

There were many people on board, but not many officers and soldiers.

The prisoners had their hands tied and were wearing thin clothes, with the word "prison" written in big letters on their front and back.

This boat is very big and has cabins underneath. I wonder if it is also full of people.

The crew member just now ran up and asked, "Do you want to buy a room in the cabin? Don't worry, no one will dare to touch your car."

Shuiling asked blankly: "How long does it take to get there?"

The crew member said: "It won't be fast if you run close to the mountain. We won't be able to get there until tomorrow afternoon."

"Ah..." Shui Ling scolded Jinse again in her heart.

"How much does the room cost?"

"Twelve." The crew member was really a lion.

Shui Ling shook her head, "No, I'll just live in the car."

The crew member looked at the carriage and said, "Okay, it's very cold at night. Just be careful." He didn't show his displeasure, maybe because he thought it was difficult for a girl to live in a house.

Shui Ling sat on the shaft of the car and looked at the sea.

The sea is beautiful, but her mood is not beautiful at all.

I was bored, so I took out my dad’s fishing gear and went fishing.

As a result, the fish on the shore did not take the bait. When the boat sailed into the calm sea, Shui Ling felt the fishing rod sink.

She immediately hit the rod hard and caught a nearly one-meter-large tuna, but the fish was so strong that she almost couldn't pull the rod.

Shui Ling flicked a pebble to knock the fish unconscious, pulled it up, and dismantled it with a dagger.

The crew was unhappy, "You've soiled the deck."

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll wipe it clean for you later."

"Okay." The crew member didn't embarrass her.

Shui Ling couldn't cook the fish now, so he just sliced ​​it and served it as sashimi.

Not to mention that the fish in the sea are delicious and don't have any fishy smell.

After eating the fish fillets, Shuiling took out water from the carriage and cleaned the floor.

She threw the rest of the fish back into the sea. It was hot and it was definitely not a good idea to leave it overnight. But when she hung the fish on the fishing line, others looked at it as throwing it into the sea, but in fact she took it into the space.

The boat drove along a very steep cliff and only saw a peninsula on the afternoon of the second day.

Ahead is a white sandy beach. The road on the island is very winding. Houses are built along the road, with wooden walls, thatched roofs and leaf roofs.

Dried fish and kelp are drying on the beach by the sea, giving it a feeling of desolation and desolation.

Shui Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead. Can it be called a city if there are no more than 300 households in total? At most, it can be called a village. From now on, it will be called Qionghai Village.

Behind the houses is a dense forest. The dense forest arches up a very high mountain. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, giving it a layer of mystery.

There were many people on the shore, and each of them had one or two bamboo baskets in front of them. It was obvious that they wanted to exchange things with the people on the boat.

Shui Ling took the cow out of the boat first and shouted, "Who is in charge?"

A tall, dark-skinned old man came out and said, "I am the village chief here, what do you want?"

Shuiling handed over the official document, "I'm here to take over Qionghai City."

After reading this, the old man knelt on the ground with a pop and said, "Old man, please see the princess."

Shui Ling pulled him up and said, "Without courtesy, where can I stay?"

The old man immediately said: "Let's live in the old man's house, but the old man's house is small, and it's too late to build a new house."

Shui Ling sighed, "No, I'll just sleep in the car. You guys go ahead and I'll find a place to settle down first."

"Yes!" The old man nodded. He was respectful but not afraid of Shui Ling.

Shui Ling looked around. The beach was quite clean, but it might be a bit difficult to break into the villagers on his own. He had to find a place to build a house for himself first.

The beach is very clean. The undeveloped areas in the city are mangroves, and the upper reaches are dense forests. Unless the trees are cut down and a seaside villa is built, there is no room to build a house.

Shui Ling had no choice but to go next to the mangrove. At least it was an open space and the beach was full of things to dry on. It didn't look like it had been looted by pirates at all.

She strained her ears to listen to the old man chatting with the officials on the ship.

The official said: "This time there are eighteen people, and there are twelve women, which is enough for the people here to intermarry."

"Is the man a strong worker, or is he just following the old rules? Are you ready with the money?"

The old man said bitterly: "We just encountered robbers. We don't have enough money, but we do have something. Do you think it's worth it?"

"Okay." The official seemed to have expected this result.

Shuiling walked over curiously and saw that the basket contained various medicinal materials, as well as pearls, shells and other beautiful items.

The official pretended to be disgusted and said: "You are not worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver."

The old man begged: "This is all we have, you don't like anything else."

The official was deep and silent.

Shui Ling couldn't help but ask: "They sent people here, why do they still need to give them money?"

The old man knew her identity and immediately said: "If you give me money, I will send you young women and strong laborers, otherwise you will send some old, weak, sick and disabled people."

Shui Ling sneered, "So that's it. I thought we were doing them a big favor by helping him take in the prisoners, but in the end they still wanted money."

"We won't do this kind of thing. When we have a ship in the future, we will go to other cities to buy a wife."

The official was angry, "Who are you? You are talking nonsense here. Do you have money to buy a boat?"

Then he smiled coldly, "You have money and you can't spend it, so why don't you expect us to send you firewood, rice, oil and salt?"

Shui Ling said disdainfully: "Should you deliver it? The mountains are full of firewood, and the salt can be dried with sea water. I see there are many palm trees here, and palm oil is not inedible."

"As for rice, we can just go out and buy it casually. We don't want to buy high-priced rice from you."

The official said angrily: "The mountains are owned by officials. If you dare to touch a branch, I will arrest you."

Shui Ling threw the official document directly into his face, "Open your dog eyes and let me see clearly."

The official held back his anger and opened the official document and read it. Sweat dripped down his forehead. He quickly saluted and said, "I have met the princess."

"Well, now that I am the official you mentioned, can I move those trees?" Shui Ling raised her chin proudly.

The official immediately nodded and bowed, "Yes, this is your fiefdom, you can do whatever you want."

Shui Ling smiled lightly, "I have a magical bird. I can put what I see and hear here on that bird, and then it can fly to the capital with my letter to find the emperor. Do you think I need to tell the emperor?

Are you forcing this place to be an exile island?"

The official knelt down with a thud, "I am wrong, I will never dare to do it again."

Shui Ling snorted coldly and acted arrogantly, "If you said something wrong, should I forgive you? No, I must tell the emperor that you turned my land into private property and interfered with my property."

People bow to you."

The officials were about to cry, not knowing what to do to calm down the sudden appearance of the princess.

When I first heard the news, I thought it was impossible for the princess to come to this remote country. If I had known this, I should have restrained myself.
