Later, the person in charge of the local branch of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was exposed to have bribed local officials, and was therefore detained by the government.
In the Kingdom of Ya, bribery is also a crime, and in serious cases it may even lead to imprisonment.
The merchant envoy from the Yangshan Islands stationed in Yaguo was also summoned to give him a scolding.
Ding Zuodong reported the news to He Lingchuan, who just hummed and said: "Handle it properly and get the person out as soon as possible."
The revenge of Yaguo is coming.
It once threatened that anyone who took in the Bailong people would be favored. However, the Yangshan Islands turned a deaf ear to its words. Not only did they rescue and accommodate the Bailong people, they also defeated the Yaguo general Wulu. Although they were captured and released, they were already
Push Yaguo's face to the ground and rub it hard.
Even if Yaguo cannot raise troops to attack the island, it cannot just let it go. At least it must retaliate in other ways.
A few days later, Yaguo announced that it would suspend the export of ironware, leather, ore and horses to the Yangshan Islands.
The eastern mountainous area of Ya Kingdom is rich in a variety of ores, many of which are necessary for refining weapons, especially for refining fine magic weapons.
Most of the ore in the Yangshan Islands was originally imported from Yaguo, but after taking in Wan Qifeng and other Bailong branches last year, He Lingchuan took precautions and ordered Ding Zuodong and Guan Ke to find import alternatives again.
As expected, Guan Ke found a new source, which was the Golden Plains east of Yaguo. Although the situation there was not very stable, and the journey was longer, requiring several more days of sea travel.
As for Mou's ironware and ores, because it has been at war, the export of such materials has been controlled.
But the source of the horses is a big problem.
There are many excellent horse farms in Yaguo, but there are none in Yangshan Islands, nor in Qingguo, and there is only one in Bailie.
Without good horses, there would be no cavalry.
Fortunately, this problem is not fatal to the Yangshan Islands yet.
He Lingchuan was prepared for all this. The most important cause and effect in the world, if he forcibly absorbs the Bailong clan, it is inevitable that he will be at odds with Yaguo.
…
That afternoon, as soon as He Lingchuan returned to Sodin Island from Blade Port, Reni came up to report:
"A visitor came to our door and called himself Fushan. He also said that you would know if he gave me his last name."
Then, she saw her lord's footsteps pause.
Fushan?
He Lingchuan thought for a moment and smiled with understanding: "Yes, I do know. Where is he?"
"I've been wandering around Sodin Island for an hour."
So He Lingchuan walked to the main street by himself.
It's actually easy to find the target on Sodin Island. Just go to the busiest market and see which stall everyone is walking around.
Because here squats a colorful tiger!
He Lingchuan first saw a familiar figure from behind, grabbing a large piece of the hot casserole with one hand and eating it.
There was a little girl sitting next to him, eating very elegantly.
A huge tiger squatted next to him, opening its mouth wide and yawning.
He Lingchuan approached without concealing the sound of his footsteps.
The tiger's ears twitched, and suddenly he turned his head and saw He Lingchuan with his eyes.
Others only heard a roar, felt a blur in front of their eyes, whistling wind, and the big tiger pounced on He Lingchuan.
It stands upright and is more than one foot tall, and no human being can match it.
The tiger attacking people was so frightening that several people nearby screamed and stumbled away.
With its weight and strength, even two or three strong men could knock it down in one fell swoop. However, He Lingchuan's horse stance was very steady and he didn't give in even half a step. He just hugged its big head:
"I miss you so much, Xiao Yu'er!"
The tiger also hugged his shoulders, rubbed its head against him, and made a mooing sound at the same time.
This is its friendly way of greeting, but its force is so heavy that it can kill an ordinary person on the spot.
He Lingchuan rubbed its hot belly: "Long time no see, you seem to have gained weight again?"
Viewed from the side, Jiao Yu's body is as wide as a door, with the original bag hanging down.
"After squatting on the boat for two months, only eating and drinking without moving, who is fat if it doesn't get fat?" The man eating the casserole turned back and raised his chopsticks towards He Lingchuan, "You are finally here, sit down quickly!"
This guy is, of course, my long-lost old friend Fushan Yue!
After not seeing him for a year and a half, he seemed to have changed little, except that he had grown a little beard and looked a bit rough.
When He Lingchuan saw him, he couldn't help but think of Li Shanlie.
These two men look really alike.
He casually grabbed a bench and sat across from Fu Shanyue.
The little girl also smiled at him, with small white teeth: "Congratulations, brother!"
"Hey, Taozi is here too?"
This little girl is the witch boy Fushanyue rescued from the Twilight Plains. Fushanyue named her Taozi.
Time is magic for children. After two years of not seeing each other, her little face has grown a little, but it is round, pink and tender, and serious like a peach. It is completely different from the skinny, sallow and skinny face of the past.
Before He Lingchuan waved, the stall owner came over and bowed his head: "Island owner, what do you want?"
There were a lot of tiger hairs stuck to the clothes. He Lingchuan brushed the hairs down and said, "Give me some crab porridge and some oysters. Give him -"
He pointed at Fu Shanyue: "——Add a grilled eel, and add a sweet and sour pork for the little girl."
"okay!"
Children love sweets, and Tao Zi’s eyes narrowed: “Thank you, Brother He!”
"Little Taozi is becoming more and more polite." He Lingchuan rubbed her head and looked at Fu Shanyue, "You didn't teach her, right?"
How can an uneducated guy teach such a polite little girl?
Fu Shanyue rolled his eyes: "Look down on me?"
He Lingchuan smiled and waited for the next step.
Sure enough, Fu Shanyue continued: "I only taught her how to eat people! Her etiquette was taught by the nuns in the palace sent by my father."
Taozi nodded: "The king is very kind to me, and so is my mama!"
"Mammy is not nice to other ladies, but she treats Tao Zi differently." Etiquette learning is not a pleasant course, "She is a demon!"
Obviously, the King of Chiyan also takes great care of this rare little creature of his kind.
It takes some time to make the porridge, but the raw oysters and pickled shrimps are here in no time.
The oysters were just caught from the sea in the afternoon. Less than an hour after leaving the water, the stall owner pried off the shells and filled a basin first.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Raw oysters are as long as the middle finger and are plump and tender this season. With a little dip in the specially prepared sour juice, He Lingchuan can finish two pots by himself.
This is how local fishermen eat it. They eat it raw without even dipping it in the juice.
He recommended Fu Shanyue: "Would you like to try it?"
The more Fushan swallowed one, the more he said with a grimace and said, "If you can't bear it, do it yourself."
It's so fishy that a mainlander like him can't get used to it!
"You can eat people, but you can't eat this?"
Jiao Yu stretched out the tiger's head and sniffed curiously, and He Lingchuan picked one out for him to try.
It chewed it twice and then swallowed it.
"Hey, we, Xiaoyu, are the ones who know the goods!" As expected, cats love to eat seafood. He Lingchuan asked for a can of rice wine and filled it for the two of them, "You rare guest, why did you come to my place?"
"You still have the nerve to say that? You came here to be the owner of the island, but you didn't even write me a letter?" Fu Shanyue raised his glass and drank it, "No wonder it was useless to persuade you to come to Chiyan and become an official. You are
What do you want to do alone?"
He Lingchuan smiled: "There are too many red tapes in being an official. How can I be as free as I am?"
He is also telling lies with open eyes. Not only is he not free and comfortable as the island owner, he is also as tired as a dog every day!
When you are an official, someone pays you a salary, but as for him, he has to pay his subordinates salaries.
"I walked around a few times, and your place is really nice and lively." Fu Shanyue took a sip of the pickled shrimp and frowned again, "It's raw, why is it still sour?"
"How is Chi Yan? You've been doing well over the past year, right?"
"My old man is not dead yet." This time it was Fu Shanyue's turn to pour him wine. "He doesn't see me being too idle and scolds me every day."
"You are the prince, and you should share the worries of the king."
Fushan Lie's days were running out, so of course he asked the prince to study political affairs so that he could succeed him in the future.
"Why do you sound like a master?" Fu Shanyue sneered at him, "But thanks to the immortal medicine case, Lingxu City is much more polite to Chi Yan now. The frontline troops are rotating, and we have a bye this year."
When Bejia fights, the vassal demon kingdoms have the obligation to coordinate and send troops. In the past, Bejia always ordered Chiyan to cooperate in the war, but Chiyan felt unhappy.
After the elixir case occurred, the Chiyan Kingdom was the most aggrieved. Although the main culprit behind the scenes, Imperial Master Qingyang, was only removed from his position as a state advisor and was not executed. However, the Demon Emperor still had to find an opportunity to seek compensation for the Chiyan Kingdom, at least not for this year.
Chiyan needs to send troops.
"I have heard rumors several times that Bejia and Mou are going to cease fighting, but the war has continued until now."
At first, the merchants who passed through Blade Port and Yangshan Islands were all talking about it. However, there were so many rumors of the coming wolf that no one was interested.
"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?" Fu Shanyue continued to eat his seafood casserole, "Maybe, letting out such rumors is a strategy in itself; maybe, the two sides were originally just fighting, talking and fighting."
He Lingchuan nodded. With this kind of knowledge, Fushan has grown more than before.
He had to take the lead in saying some words: "How did you know I was here?"
At this time, the raw crab porridge was served, and the casserole was filled with bubbles.
How can entertaining the island owner be the same as entertaining ordinary guests? The casserole given to him by the stall owner was filled with flower crabs, fresh scallops and fat razor clams. There were more ingredients than porridge. He took a bite and tasted it, it was incomparably fresh and sweet.
With this hot porridge filling your stomach, you will feel more comfortable eating raw pickled fish and shrimp, and you will not easily become a Splatoon.
Well, not that easy.
"Isn't it a good thing you did? If you want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself." Fu Shanyue pointed at him with chopsticks, "The fluorescent spores were once out of stock in Chiyan, and the angry wind lanterns were hung up again in the palace. Not long ago, the result was
The fluorescent spores are here again, this time from the Yangshan Islands. When I asked, what a coincidence, the island owner’s surname is He!”
He Lingchuan gnawed on a crab leg: "You came here just for the fluorescent spores?"
"Of course not." Fu Shanyue said with a smile, "I'm here for Yin Sha."
"Yin Sha?" He Lingchuan was startled, and suddenly realized that there are at least two kinds of monsters in the world who are not afraid of Yin Sha.
One kind is living, Yin Jiao; the other is the living dead, Jiao!
Legend has it that Ba was born among the evil spirits.
