When Princess Lu Jie entered the study, the first thing she saw was Jin Feng sitting in the main seat and Amei standing in the corner.
Jin Feng also looked at Princess Lu Jie.
Princess Lu Jie likes to wear red clothes. She wore a red cloak last time we met, and this time she wore a red dress.
This time she didn't wear a veil, and there was no gold hairpin or other jewelry on her head. I don't know if she didn't wear it in the first place or if it was taken away by Hu Niu.
There is no change in clothes, but I have obviously lost weight.
"Lu Jie has met Mr. Jin!"
Princess Lu Jie squatted down slightly and saluted Jin Feng.
Jin Feng did not get up to return the greeting, but nodded slightly and pointed to the guest seat: "Sit down!"
It's not that Jin Feng deliberately staged it, but that at this time he represented the Sichuan and Shu regime, and even the entire Dakang, while Princess Lu Jie represented the Eastern Barbarian regime.
Although the meeting between the two could not be called a formal meeting, Jin Feng had to act tougher.
Princess Lu Jie sighed silently in her heart, but did not show any displeasure on her face. She saluted Jin Feng again to express her gratitude.
Because she had seen with her own eyes how the Eastern Barbarians treated the envoys of Dakang and the princesses during their powerful period.
Jin Feng finally gave her a chair. When the Dakang envoy went to the Eastern Barbarians, he had to kneel down to talk to the Eastern Barbarians the whole time.
As for the princesses and princesses who had married in the past, it was even worse. Without exception, they all became the playthings of the Eastern barbarians' powerful people.
Perhaps in order to humiliate Dakang, or perhaps the identity of the princess and princess makes the Eastern Barbarian dignitaries more exciting, so they especially like to humiliate those princesses and princesses, and some perverts even do it openly.
I had seen Princess Lu Jie several times when she was a child.
A weak country has no diplomacy. Compared to the powerful Eastern Barbarians, Jin Feng is already very friendly to her.
Seeing that Jin Feng had no intention of taking the initiative to speak, Princess Lu Jie consciously spoke first: "Lu Jie congratulates Mr. Xizhou on his great victory, and sincerely wishes that Mr. Xi will pacify the Central Plains and Jiangnan as soon as possible and unify the great prosperity!"
I have to say that Princess Lu Jie is very good at chatting, and she spoke directly to Jin Feng's heart.
What he most hopes to accomplish now is to pacify Dakang so that the people will not suffer from war anymore.
Jin Feng nodded towards Princess Lu Jie and said firmly: "I will!"
Yanhuang culture is relatively modest. Princess Lu Jie just said some nice words to flatter Jin Feng. She thought Jin Feng would be humble, but he agreed without hesitation.
If anyone else was like this, Princess Lu Jie would definitely think that this person was too arrogant, but this person was Jin Feng, and Princess Lu Jie thought it was very reasonable.
On the way here, she met a training team of fishing boats on the northern sea. Until she left for a long time, Princess Lu Jie's mind was filled with the scene of densely packed fishing boats covering the sea.
Passing Anjia'ao, she saw the busy salted fish factory again.
Dense dried salted fish hang all over the coast, like wheat fields, with no end in sight.
Finally, Princess Lu Jie arrived at Yuxi Town again.
Here, she saw various ships constantly coming and going on the sea, as well as various factories on the shore.
Among the ships plying the sea, there were two large ships puffing out thick smoke and traveling very fast.

Princess Lu Jie saw Zhenyuan No. 2 transporting supplies to the escort in Yuguan City. Even Zhenyuan No. 1 was sunk by the Eastern Barbarians. Princess Lu Jie knew that these smoke-belching steam ships were all steam engines.
She originally thought that there was only one steam engine ship left in Dakang, the Zhenyuan No. 2, but when she arrived in the East China Sea, she learned that Jin Feng had built other steam engine ships so quickly.
However, if Jin Feng can build Zhenyuan No. 1 and Zhenyuan No. 2, then he can build more steam engines.
Princess Lu Jie was just surprised, but not surprised.
What really surprised her was the situation on the shore.
Starting from Anjia'ao, she saw busy people running around on the coast.
The closer you get to Yuxi Town, the more lively it becomes on the shore.
Although she couldn't see clearly what the people on the shore were doing because of the distance, she could feel the lively and prosperous atmosphere.
This atmosphere made Princess Lu Jie understand that Dakang was gradually returning to its former strength.
No, under the leadership of Jin Feng, Dakang will be stronger than before in the future!
"We haven't seen you for a few months, sir. Your demeanor is even better than before!"
Princess Lu Jie said half sincerely, half flatteringly.
This time Jin Feng did not agree, but said: "Princess Lu Jie is a little more haggard than the last time we met. Why, is the situation in Dongman bad?"
"Dongman is doing well," Princess Lu Jie replied, "Maybe I've been a little uncomfortable wandering on the boat these days. I haven't slept well, and I look a little haggard, which makes sir laugh."
Jin Feng saw that Princess Lu Jie was unwilling to talk about Dongman's situation, so he didn't bother to ask, because what he asked might not be the truth.
Not wanting to speculate on Princess Lu Jie's thoughts, she directly asked: "Princess Lu Jie, what do you want to do when you come to Dakang this time?"
Princess Lu Jie was a little unaccustomed to Jin Feng's way of talking directly to the topic, but she still managed to answer calmly: "When we met last time, didn't your husband want the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to go to the grassland to do business? I'm here this time.
I am going to come to Dakang for a visit. If I am satisfied, I can agree to your request and allow the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to establish a presence in the grassland and start trade with the grassland..."
Before Princess Lu Jie finished speaking, she was interrupted by Jin Feng's chuckle.
"Princess Lu Jie, you didn't mention a word about my request. Do you think I was so confused that I forgot what I said?"
Jin Feng glanced at Princess Lu Jie and said lightly: "I remember my original words at that time were that Hai Dongqing of Dongman could no longer attack my airships and hot air balloons, and then I would allow the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and the grassland to start
trading.
What, Princess Lu Jie, have you already pacified the entire Eastern Barbarians?"
"Although I haven't pacified the entire Eastern Barbarians yet, I'm almost there!" Princess Lu Jie replied.
In order to increase the credibility of this sentence, Princess Lu Jie also deliberately imitated Jin Feng's behavior just now, her tone and face were very firm.
But Jin Feng's firmness just now came from his inner self-confidence. How could Princess Lu Jie imitate her?
On the contrary, Jin Feng was even more convinced that her current situation was very bad, probably even worse than she expected.
"Princess Lu Jie, there are only us here, no outsiders. You don't need to bluff with me. I don't have the interest or time to verify your words."
Jin Feng said impatiently: "If you really want to talk, just tell the truth. What are you doing here? If you don't want to talk, then forget it."
"I just came to Dakang for a visit," Princess Lu Jie continued to insist on what she just said: "What, Mr. Jin doesn't welcome you?"
