Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 217 The Princess Who Was Killed as a Wife in a Peace Marriage (4)

"This... can all the things on this be replaced?"
Can you even trade Lingnan lychees, which are more valuable than gold, in the Tianhong Empire? Can you even trade refined steel and snow candy?

In fact, Prince Qingmushan didn't recognize most of the things that Ding Shui had Xiao Hei projected. So he could only pick a few that he recognized, which were relatively expensive and that the Tianhong Empire was unwilling to sell to them.

I've checked again and again, is it really okay to exchange it?
Meanwhile, the other members of the royal family and tribal leaders nearby were also quite excited, because if they could really exchange them freely, and the price wasn't particularly high.

That sweater was definitely worth it.

You should know that normally, let alone high-quality steel, they would either have to rob it directly or try to buy ordinary wrought iron from the Tianhong Empire at a high price.

It has to be the kind of purchase that involves smuggling people across the border.

They can only make up for the losses from being ripped off by grabbing deals every year.

As for Lingnan lychees, they had only heard of them and had never tasted fresh ones. Even the emperor of the Tianhong Empire could only occasionally eat a few fresh ones, which were given as gifts to his concubines and princes. Usually, it was only two or three lychees to taste. They had only managed to buy dried lychees a few times.

Snow sugar isn't that hard to buy, but it's expensive!
Three taels of silver per tael—just thinking about it makes my heart ache.

“Okay…” Ding Shui wasn’t just making empty promises to them. After saying that, he immediately materialized several thousand hundred-forged steel ingots, ten thousand catties of white sugar, and three thousand catties of lychees.

"Let's share these lychees as dessert."

"White sugar and steel ingots still have to be traded for slaves!"

As soon as Ding Shui said this, everyone present quickly reached for what interested them. Those with a sweet tooth grabbed lychees to eat, those who liked weapons looked at Hundred Forged Steel, and some who had a sweet tooth even tried white sugar.

"No wonder this stuff is as expensive as gold and so hard to find. It really is delicious, much better than dried lychees. Fresh fruit and dried fruit are completely different things."

"My God, I've never seen so much refined steel in my entire life. If we're careful with our resources, we could make enough for a thousand heavy knights. How do we trade all this refined steel? How many slaves would it take to get one piece?"

"This candy is so sweet, so incredibly sweet, it's so delicious!"

After everyone was amazed, they naturally continued to look at the remaining unfamiliar things with great curiosity, wanting to ask about them one by one, but they were afraid that Ding Shui would get annoyed and impatient.

"Just click on anything you want to know, and this screen will explain it, including the specific prices."

Ding Shui certainly couldn't lower himself to explain things to each of them individually, but Xiao Hei could. As he spoke, Ding Shui had already assigned Xiao Hei a new task.

And send it the price list of Tianhong Empire.

Let it double the selling price of the Rainbow Empire.

The technology transfer increased three thousandfold.

All slaves were redeemed at market price.

Ding Shui got up and left to prevent them from being too tense and unable to relax. As Ding Shui left, the group, who were initially a little reserved, quickly began to explore the virtual screen. After hearing that the screen could actually speak, they all tried to communicate and ask questions.

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, making quite a racket.

At the same time, many people were amazed at how cheap it was.

Because they usually buy things from smugglers in the Tianhong Empire at three times the price, and for some rare or deadly items, such as steel candy, the price can be five or ten times the price.

Lychees are a hundred times more expensive and you still can't buy them.

Ding Shui only doubled the price, which is really generous.

However, the differences between tribes and between individuals become apparent. Some people specifically buy things that enhance their strength, while others buy things for enjoyment. Some buy a lot of products but not a single technology, while others spare no expense to acquire a large amount of technology.

When there weren't enough slaves, they even issued IOUs and exchanged them for gold and silver.

What was Ding Shui doing at this moment?

She summoned all the former Khan's concubines who were nominally her sisters, as well as the concubines of the former Khan, and even the women who were nominally her daughters and granddaughters, and examined them one by one, which could also be called an interview.

To be precise, it's about picking out the restless ones.

I plan to train them and give them important positions.

As for those who are content with their current lives and have no desire to strive or change, there's no need to force them. Just let them continue to drift along, because you can't force a relationship.

"I can see that you have some ambitions. You may not have the opportunity or the ability, but I am willing to give you the opportunity to learn and improve, and the opportunity to try."

Next, people from all over the world, both men and women, will arrive one after another from various tribes.

Slaves, young and old, were brought over.

I intend to hand these slaves over to you for management, to abolish their status as slaves, to teach them a skill, and to build factories. Listen to my explanation…”

Ding Shui didn't want every world to be the same.

While policies like merging land tax and poll tax are good, they're not absolutely necessary. This time, Ding Shui plans to use the Western Rong Empire as a base, developing technology while simultaneously engaging in commerce. If commerce is feasible, then so be it; if not, conquer territory and then start trading, mimicking the path of the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, it will definitely be better than what Da Yuan did.

And after a while, wouldn't the slaves sent by the various tribes be the best cheap labor force? Although Ding Shui promised to abolish slavery, these slaves had nothing of value; they basically had nothing except their lives. So they would still have to rely on Ding Shui for survival, and there was no need to worry that they would refuse to work.

Once the basic industrial system is established.

Those tribes can also distribute products as a sideline.

So next, Ding Shui mainly lectured those who had temporarily gained her approval, whether they were her daughters, her granddaughters, or her sisters.

However, she soon felt that doing so was too approachable.

It would undermine his demonic authority.

So they started using Xiao Hei again.

It has to be said that Xiao Hei is really useful. The key is that although there is only one, it can be used as if there were hundreds or thousands of them, because one artificial intelligence can definitely handle thousands or tens of thousands of different tasks.

Not to mention it also has the Illusory Realm as an information storage center, and the Heavenly Dao of the Illusory Realm as a chip.

It's absolutely easy to use and you can trust it completely.

After temporarily settling things here, Ding Shui thought for a moment and decided to directly send his spirit out of his body and fly to the capital of the Tianhong Empire. After dark, he went straight into the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness of Consort Su Gui, who was the original owner's mother.

Because the original owner only hoped that her mother could be safe and enjoy her old age, and did not require that it be kept from her mother, Ding Shui did not deliberately disguise herself as the original owner, but appeared directly in Consort Su's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness with her true appearance.

And it awakened the soul of Consort Su. "You..."

"I am the person your daughter summoned before she died, using her special destiny to help her take revenge. You can think of me as a devil, or you can think of me as a god, whatever you want to think. But anyway, I am the person your daughter summoned to help her take revenge. Your daughter was tortured and burned to death yesterday."

Because rumors are circulating throughout the capital that she is a cursed lone star.

She cursed and killed two Khans!

Ding Shui was genuinely worried that the original owner's mother might give up avenging the original owner for the sake of the world's well-being, and even advised Ding Shui not to seek revenge. Therefore, he deliberately did not politely and tactfully reveal the truth, but instead directly laid it out.

After speaking, he directly showed her the original owner's memories before death, including the torture she suffered before death and how she was burned alive. At the same time, Ding Shui continuously released the five elements energy to properly nourish Consort Su's soul and body, to prevent her from being unable to withstand the stimulation and dying suddenly again.

It wasn't that she wanted to torture her; it was mainly because, based on the original owner's memories, her mother was quite mild-mannered. Just in case, Ding Shui had no choice but to give her a strong medicine first.

Then, as expected, Consort Su was greatly agitated. First, she wept bitterly, then her eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth, and cursed Emperor Xianghe and the current Empress Dowager. After a long while, her emotions calmed down slightly and she asked:
"My lord, how shall we take revenge?"

"Your daughter hates Emperor Xianghe the most, as well as the current Empress Dowager who came up with the idea. As for the sorcerer who directly killed your daughter, I avenged her when I entered your daughter's body, and I also successfully became the ruler of the Western Rong and seized power from the Western Rong Empire."

Therefore, I plan to turn back and attack the Tianhong Empire.

They destroyed the Tianhong Empire.

"Of course, they can do whatever they want with Emperor Xianghe and the Empress Dowager!"

"However, even if I am confident that I can conquer the Tianhong Empire in a short period of time, it is impossible to take it down in an instant. In order to ensure your safety, I plan to take you away and bring you to the royal court of the Xirong Empire for temporary residence."

Do you have any trusted confidants you want to take with you?

I can take it with me.

Ding Shui spoke very directly, but Consort Su was taken aback. She was heartbroken and furious about her daughter's plight and wanted to avenge her daughter, but was it necessary to go to such lengths? To directly destroy the Tianhong Empire?

How many people die in a war that destroys a country?
After a long silence, Consort Su asked hesitantly:

"Is it necessary to destroy the country? Can't you just kill Emperor Xianghe and the Empress Dowager? Or take them away like you took me? Wouldn't destroying the country cause too much of a commotion?"
Besides, destroying a country isn't that easy!

Although she was deeply grieved by her daughter's death, she had no intention of dragging countless innocent people down with her. Moreover, she worried that if too many people died, wouldn't some karmic burden fall upon her daughter? Thinking of this, Consort Su hurriedly asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, where is my daughter's soul? What exactly did my daughter negotiate with you? Could Anguo's soul have been scattered?"

No, she has already entered the cycle of reincarnation.

What she traded with me was fate, and even if I waged a war to destroy a nation, it wouldn't cause too many casualties.

As for simply taking them away...

After a moment's thought, Ding Shui realized that simply arresting them seemed like a good solution.

It just doesn't seem as aboveboard:

"No, I want to make Emperor Xianghe and his biological mother regret their actions and drive them step by step into a desperate situation. Simply arresting them would lack the same meaning."

It will also help your daughter achieve lasting fame.

The first princess to successfully rebel, and a princess sent for a political marriage, definitely deserves a prominent place in history. Alright, it's decided to do it this way. Do you have anything or anyone you want to take with you? Let me know quickly, or you'll miss your chance!

All the preparations made beforehand would be wasted if we just captured and killed them now. Besides, capturing and killing them secretly would mean no one would know it was her revenge, which wouldn't feel satisfying enough!

Taking revenge in secret is no different from hiding one's true intentions in the dark.

Therefore, Ding Shui remained steadfast in his beliefs.

This country must be destroyed!!!

Consort Su remained silent. She did feel that Ding Shui's actions might be more satisfying, giving her a sense of decisive and righteous revenge. However, the thought of seizing her husband's family business and destroying her homeland filled her with an indescribable feeling.

She didn't know how to describe it.

But I just feel uncomfortable.

Ding Shui, who was currently within Consort Su's spiritual realm, was naturally able to sense the changes in Consort Su's emotions, and immediately added:

"You don't need to worry too much. Even if I destroy the Tianhong Empire, I will not merge it into the Xirong Empire. The ancestral temples and the like can be preserved normally. In fact, after dealing with Emperor Xianghe and the current Empress Dowager, I can even use your daughter's body to conceive a child with your daughter's bloodline and entrust the Tianhong Empire to that child."

Previously, Ding Shui hadn't really decided on the issue of future successors. But now, on a sudden whim, she thought of the Pregnancy Pill for Women and the Pregnancy Pill for Children. She was a princess of the Tianhong Empire and already had royal blood. It seemed like there wouldn't be any problem for her to have another child to inherit the Tianhong Empire.

As for whether the civil and military officials will be dissatisfied.

Heh... there aren't many clean ones among them.

Despite killing so many people in the previous world, Ding Shui didn't accumulate much karma; in fact, he gained a lot of merit.

Besides, she never intended to follow the normal path of succession. She would be an emperor who conquered the country. If she couldn't even decide her own successor, would that be reasonable?
"what?"

"Is it appropriate to pass the Tianhong Empire on to a child who is my daughter's descendant?"

Are you sure you can take it down?

Without a doubt, Consort Su's attitude has clearly begun to waver. Her main concern is no longer the suffering of the people, but whether Ding Shui is truly confident and certain that he can easily defeat the Tianhong Empire.

My daughter is gone, and I have nothing left.

The idea of ​​having bloodlines with one's own daughter and inheriting an empire is undoubtedly a completely different concept.

The latter stirred up a surge of emotions in Consort Su.

It took a while to calm down.

I was still a little embarrassed.

"Of course we can take them down. Putting aside other aspects, if I want to, I can easily control the generals of the major cities to open the city gates themselves and let the soldiers of the Western Rong Empire strike straight at the heart of the enemy. There won't be too many casualties."

However, I'm going to take it slow and not be in a rush. For now, you should come with me and leave this place.

This also avoids the possibility of me attacking the Tianhong Empire again.

What have Emperor Xianghe and his men done to you?!

Ding Shui continued.
