Chapter 96 Uprooted
After returning from the southeast garriling camp, Liu Xia practiced cross-legged as usual.
At noon the next day, when Liu Xia was chatting with Lingling, Zhang Zong hugged his fist and said, "Your Highness, Bai Rongxuan has arrived."
When Lingling heard this, he got up and smiled helplessly and said, "It's so easy to see you. You're going to be busy again."
"I've been busy with business recently. When I get back to Longdu, I will definitely make up for you."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
Lingling nodded. As soon as he sent Liu Xia out of the gate, Lingling began to vomit.
Liu Xia hurriedly turned around and said, "Are you not feeling well?"
"No, recently, I've always been out of energy and often disgusting."
Lingling waved his hand and said.
"Let me have a look."
Liu Xia held Lingling's wrist. After a while, Liu Xia suddenly said happily, "Woman, you're pregnant."
"What!"
Linglingling was shocked, and then he reacted and smiled happily, "Am I going to be a mother?"
"Congratulations, Your Highness, Your Highness."
Zhang Zong hurriedly hugged his fist and laughed.
"Woth girl, you are so awesome."
Liu Xia immediately picked up Lingling and walked towards the room.
"Oh, put me down quickly. It's full of people outside. Let others see it, but what should I do?"
Lingling struggled in a hurry.
Entering the room, Liu Xia carefully put her on the ground, caged Lingling's broken hair behind her ear and smiled, "I really didn't expect that I had the day of being a father. Zhang Zong told the people in the house that the food and living of the crown princess must be taken care of by someone in the future. By the way, you can choose a few bodyguards later. You must pay attention to this place. Don't make mistakes.
"Little one understands."
Zhang Zong said with a fist.
"Tell me what you want to eat in the future. From today on, I will take time to see you every day.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"Oh, don't make such a fuss. Instead, it will attract the attention of others. Don't worry, I will take care of myself.
Lingling said hurriedly.
Liu Xia took Lingling's waist, looked at Lingling's watery eyes, and couldn't help kissing her on the face.
The yellow-haired girl who had been following her in those years was about to become a mother in a blink of an eye.
"Go ahead and get busy. Don't wait for Bai Rongxuan."
Ling Ling told him.
"Okay, I'll come to see you later."
Liu Xia let go of Lingling, walked out of the gate with a bright smile.
Entering the study, Bai Rongxuan had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly saluted Liu Xia.
After a greeting, Bai Rongxuan said, "Your Highness, your face is full of red today. What happy thing happened to you?"
"Haha, I'll tell you in a few days. There are two things to come to you today. By the way, how are our Qiankun bags selling?
Liu Xia asked.
"I'm also going to come to you to talk about this. The sales of Qiankun bags are extremely popular. At present, most of them have been sold. I have sent the money to Jiangzhou Camp.
Bai Rongxuan said with a smile.
"That's good. Change all the remaining silver for grain and grass, and then send it to the southeast garrison camp."
Liu Xia told.
"This matter is easy to deal with, but hasn't the southeast garrier base camp always been supplied by the court? Why does the prince have to pay out of his own pocket?
Bai Rongxuan asked.
"The Nangong family looted the southeast garrison camp. When the Nangong family was confiscated, these supplies had arrived at their barracks. With the defeat of their army, there was no way to find them. The feeding of the imperial court will not start until October. Therefore, Qinghuang doesn't answer at this time.
Liu Xia explained.
"The southeast garrison left the weak. The prince prepared food and salary for them. When he was preparing to suppress the bandits, did he let them be the main force?"
Bai Rongxuan asked worriedly.
"The imperial army of the southern expedition will withdraw sooner or later, and the southeast coast will still depend on them. This time, I'm here, and it's really a good time to supervise and sharpen them.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"The silver of the universe bag has been handed over to the sailors. I'm afraid the rest is not enough to maintain the army's expenditure for three months. The prince still wants to think of other ways.
Bai Rongxuan said with a smile.
"Didn't I get you here today?"
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"Don't worry, my Bai family will be ruined and will definitely meet the prince's requirements."
Bai Rongxuan said with a smile.
"Don't, don't, you and I have known each other for many years. As friends, it's right for you to make money. I can't let you post it every time. I'm coming to you this time to ask what's going on in the southeast coastal business community?
Liu Xia said with a straight face.
"Well, what must the prince have heard?"
Bai Rongxuan asked about the nature of tentative.
"You just need to say it."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"The Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is slightly different from other chambers of commerce in the Tianji Dynasty. To tell the truth, the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is extremely exclusive. Whether it is my Xiangrui Commercial Bank or the previous Southern Chamber of Commerce, or even the famous Northern Alliance Association of the Dragon Soul Continent cannot touch here. They are their own faction, and once the rest of the chambers of commerce enter here, they will try their best to exclude you. The rest of the chambers of commerce can't stand here at all.
Bai Rongxuan said.
"It seems that the Nangong family is the owner behind them. Otherwise, the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce would not be so domineering.
Liu Xia said.
"The Taizhou Chamber of Commerce's circle is very closed. I heard that when the monsoon comes every year, the price of their goods is several times cheaper than that of other places. And they often buy large-scale grain and fodder, steel, and some weapons. Last year, Xiao heard that they had made a batch of warships on a visit to the south of the Yangtze River, saying that they were used to shelter the caravan.
"How dare they all go to customize warships?"
Liu Xia couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this.
"I heard that this is the case, but the relationship between our Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan boat visits is average, and there are few transactions. Therefore, we are not clear about the specific situation at present.
Bai Rongxuan explained.
"Dissatisfied with Brother Bai, I now suspect that there is trade between the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce and the pirates, which is an important economic source of supporting the pirates. The court made up its mind to flatten the sea pirates this time. Therefore, I want to cut off their financial path first. It's just that I don't have any evidence at present, so it's not convenient to act. I mean, I want to ask Brother Bai to forcibly enter here and help me spy on the situation.
Liu Xia said.
"This is not a big problem. It's just that we have to fight a business war. I'm afraid there will be some loss. The Taizhou Chamber of Commerce is too united. I'm afraid that my Bai family can't support it alone.
Bai Rongxuan said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. I'll be your backing. They just want to force their dogs to jump over the wall. If you ask for money, the court will give it to you.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"If the prince comes forward, the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce will not be a problem. Don't worry, I know what to do.
Bai Rongxuan said with a smile.
"I always rest assured that if you do something, I will carry it for you if everything goes wrong. Let go and do it boldly. As long as he dares to do something wrong, I can deal with them. The last time he knocked down the Southern Chamber of Commerce, he saved the Marine Army Camp. If they are knocked down this time, I believe that it can also save the southeast border camp.
Liu Xia said with a slight smile.
"The little one understands, which one has left."
Bai Rongxuan said with a smile.
"I'll give it to you."
Immediately, Liu Xia got up and sent Bai Rongxuan out of the gate.
————————————————————
The sea breeze booed, and there were no clouds in the sky.
The sea also looks very calm today. The seagulls circling in the distance make people feel extremely comfortable.
At this moment, in the depths of the sea, a huge fleet of about 200 ships is under intensive preparation.
On the wharf, the endless cool forces transported all kinds of materials that the fleet said needed to the ship, and the fishing boats around the fleet were also in a tense formation.
There is an open space in the distance of the dock, and about 10,000 people are gathering.
The family members who came to see them off were even more crowded, encircling the whole wharf.
On the lighthouse on the side of the dock, there was a man in a white gown, with a weed in his mouth, with his back against the railing of the lighthouse, sitting on the armrest.
His skin is healthy bronze, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and his face is unruly.
He looked at the busy crowd on the dock indifferently, but looked to the far east.
This person is the leader of the sea pirates on Wuji Island - Cana!
"Head, the fleet can start in one more hour. I heard that the Tianji Dynasty is fighting against the Nangong family. This time we can take advantage of the chaos to make a good profit from him.
At this moment, Dai Bang, a follower standing behind Cana, said with a smile.
"Tell your brothers to be careful. There is a war in the south, which may not be a good thing for us.
Cana frowned and said.
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, the sailor of the Tianji Dynasty is just a decoration. As long as the Nangong sailors don't embarrass us, we don't have to be afraid of them.
Dai Bang laughed.
"Is there still no news from the Xisha Gang?"
Cana suddenly asked.
"No, this monsoon season has arrived. The Xisha Gang hasn't received a letter for a long time. Are they going to do it alone?
Dai Bang asked.
"You'd better send someone to see the situation. I always feel that something is not right.
Cana said worriedly.
"I'll do it in a while. By the way, the supplies given to us by the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce have arrived, but the price seems to be higher this time. It is said that there is chaos in the south. These southern dogs must be starting from the ground. When we arrive, give them some color and let them know how powerful we are.
Dai Bang said angrily.
"Don't offend them for such a trivial matter. For specific matters, I will talk to the head of the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce.
Carna said.
"So are we still on the same route this time?"
Dai Bang asked.
"No. If the court sends troops to attack the Nangong family, then Taizhou must be chaotic. It is very likely that the people have taken refuge in Kunzhou and Jiangzhou in the north. Besides, the Nangong family is our old friend. How can we take advantage of the fire to rob? This time, we landed in Kunzhou. Let the Kunsha Gang land in Taizhou. In this way, we just distracted the attention of the imperial army.
Carna said.
"The leader is really a good strategy. This is what those people on the Dragon Soul Continent often say about avoiding the truth, right?"
Dai Bang laughed.
"Also, I heard that there is a man named Liu Xia in the Tianji Dynasty, who is a latecomer. Please help me inquire about this person."
"What does the head mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just want to see how powerful the master of today's International Dynasty is!"
Cana sneered.
