Although Princess Lu Jie offered to marry Jin Feng at the beginning, she just thought that when she got to Jin Feng's side, she could enjoy the pillow breeze and try her best to gain some benefits for the grassland.
Now the Ninth Princess wants her to marry Jin Feng and support her in becoming queen. She obviously wants to steal the power of the grassland through this method.
Although both wanted her to marry Jin Feng, the purpose and results were completely different!
For a moment, Princess Lu Jie didn't know how to choose.
Seeing Princess Lu Jie's delay in replying, the Ninth Princess became a little impatient: "If you haven't thought about it, just wait until you think about it before you talk to me!"
After saying that, he got up and left.
Princess Lu Jie stood up and asked: "If I agree, how much food, medicine, cloth and iron can your Majesty give us?"
"I don't know how many people in the Central Plains starve to death every day. It is impossible to directly give you food, medicinal materials and cloth," the Ninth Princess directly rejected Princess Lu Jie's request.
Then he added: "If you agree, I can ask your husband to temporarily lift the sea blockade in the Bohai Sea, and then provide you with a group of fishing boats. You can organize people to go fishing yourself. How much you can catch depends on your own
It’s time to do something!
In addition, I can discuss with my husband to build a textile factory on the north side of Yuguan City. If you provide wool, I can give you half of the finished product!
As for the medicinal materials and iron tools, you go back and make a list. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can prepare it for you!”
Hearing what Princess Ninth said, Princess Lu Jie's eyes lit up slightly.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If the Ninth Princess directly provides them with food, it will be gone after eating it. But if the Ninth Princess is willing to provide them with fishing boats, they can go out to sea to fish.
In the past, the Eastern Barbarians did not pay much attention to the ocean. It was not until Princess Lu Jie saw the fishing team in the East China Sea that she realized that the Eastern Barbarians were completely wrong.
It turns out that there are so many fishes in the ocean, but the Eastern Barbarians did not know how to catch them in the past.
In fact, not only the Eastern Barbarians, but also the fishing techniques and fishing nets of the East China Sea fishermen were very backward. Until Jin Feng improved the fishing nets and fishing boats, educated the fishermen on the relationship between ocean currents and fish schools, and sent speedboats to scout for fish floods, the fishing team
The harvest is getting bigger and bigger.
If the Ninth Princess is really willing to provide them with fishing boats, then Princess Lu Jie can also imitate the model of Yuxi Town, set up a fishing team in Dongman and build a salted fish factory, which can solve the food ration problem of a large part of the herdsmen.
Moreover, pickling salted fish requires a lot of salt, and transporting the salted fish to the depths of the grassland also solves the problem of salt shortage.
The fishing team can solve part of the ration problem, and the textile factory can provide cloth to solve the warmth problem.
Although Princess Ninth asked them to provide wool, almost no one collected wool specifically before, and it all fell off naturally.
Princess Lu Jie was already very satisfied with half of the finished product if she handed it over to Dakang's textile factory.
So she gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "Yes, I agree!"
Marrying Jin Feng as requested by the Ninth Princess may bring trouble to the Eastern Barbarians, but if she doesn't agree to the Ninth Princess' request, her small tribal alliance may not be able to survive this winter!
We’ll talk about the rest later. Let the herdsmen survive first before we can talk about anything else.
Without people, everything else is empty.
"Don't rush to agree, I haven't said the second point yet!"

The Ninth Princess raised another finger: "My second condition is that the Eastern Barbarians will be merged into Dakang forever!"
"What do you mean?" Princess Lu Jie asked warily.
"It means that the Eastern Barbarians will be a state of Dakang from now on. After I help you pacify the Eastern Barbarians, you will not only be the Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians, but also the state pastor of the Eastern Barbarians of Dakang!"
The Ninth Princess said: "If you agree, I will help you build a school on the grassland to learn Chinese characters. Every time I conquer a tribe, I will build a school to educate the herdsmen!"
After hearing this, Princess Lu Jie's voice changed like a cat with fried fur: "Impossible!"
Just now she just thought that the Ninth Princess wanted to control Dongman through her and Jin Feng's child. Who knew that Ninth Princess actually wanted to swallow Dongman directly!
Only then did Princess Lu Jie understand that the Ninth Princess allowed her to become a female chanyu, but did not allow her to become another empress!
In the past, the Eastern Barbarians were an equal country to Dakang. Now the Ninth Princess wants to directly make the Eastern Barbarians a state of Dakang. The status of both parties immediately changed from equal to superior and subordinate.
This is unacceptable to Princess Lu Jie!
"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you. My husband has long said that whether you are Eastern Barbarians, Dangxiang, or Tubo, they will all become a state of great prosperity. If you choose to cooperate, then everyone should be kinder. If you don't, it doesn't matter.
Then let’s fight until you cooperate!”
The Ninth Princess said calmly: "If you still don't cooperate until the end of the fight, then let's all die. I will just move the people from the Central Plains!"
The Ninth Princess spoke not loudly, but her tone was very firm.
Princess Lu Jie has not only studied Jin Feng, but also the Ninth Princess, and knows her temperament.
The Ninth Princess is a typical imperial thinker who values the long term and her position in the history books.
Jin Feng may not be able to kill ordinary herdsmen, but Princess Ninth can definitely do it!
Because bringing the Eastern Barbarians into the territory is too tempting for people like the Ninth Princess!
At that time, history books may record the crimes she committed against the Eastern Barbarians, but they will also record her achievements in opening up new territories.
There is no real empathy in the world. When future generations see this period of history, they will most likely praise the Nine Princesses for their talents and strategies, and no one will care about the harm done to the Eastern Barbarians at that time.
This kind of thing is very common no matter in the history of Jin Feng's previous life or in the history of this world.
For example, a certain emperor in Jin Feng's previous life. Everyone knows that he once reached Lake Baikal and expanded his territory to the largest extent, but few people care about how many cities his army slaughtered in the Central Plains Dynasty and how many innocent people he killed at that time!
If Princess Lu Jie had heard what Princess Ninth said before coming to Dakang, she would have felt that she was overestimating her abilities.
But now she doesn't think so.
She had witnessed the development of Donghai and Jinchuan with her own eyes, and she believed that as long as Jin Feng and Ninth Princess were given enough time, they would be able to bring the Eastern Barbarian Party Xiang and Tubo into their territory.
Princess Lu Jie shuddered when she thought of the scene where the Ninth Princess ordered the army to march north.
But if she really promised the Ninth Princess to turn the Eastern Barbarians into a state of Dakang, then she would be a sinner in the history of the Eastern Barbarians!
