The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 279

Chu Qianhan couldn't return to Qiongya because of the escalation of the war and the rebellion of the Ma family in the northwest, the level of the strong involved had reached the early Tianyuan period.

Those old monsters with terrifying strength possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth with every gesture. They disagreed with the ostentation in the moves of the strong people in the two stages of human and earth, and the background confusion in the attacks of the strong in the sky were all lethal.

Chu Huaitian dared to run outside because he was too weak, no one cared about him, but someone like Chu Qianhan was easily regarded as a key target.

Chu Huaitian asked if there were any other weapons, Chu Qianhan continued to shake his head, his arsenal was empty, even the honeycomb structure shield Chu Huaitian would not let go, long guns and short cannons were the focus of search, Chu Qianhan now only had A boutique version of the single-shot gun, a shield and four birds at the bottom of the box.The bullets that Chu Huaitian gave him were replaced with metal raw materials and overprinted salt rolls the day before yesterday.

As the war continued, the value of the salt rolls in the capital continued to decline, and the purchasing power was no longer as good as before. When any salt goods arrived in the capital, they would be exchanged. People would rather bear [-]% of the loss than continue to hold the salt rolls. The reputation system that Shangguan Qing painstakingly established completely collapsed.

Chu Huaitian picked up the teacup and drank it down. He didn't have the bearing that an emperor should have at all, and complained: "I just found out today how deep the people above are hiding, and the weapons they use are much better than ours. The rate of fire and range are better than ours, when you go back, ask Shangguan Qing if you can make it."

"I'll ask."

Although Chu Qianhan agreed, they all knew that Shangguan Qing did not have that kind of technology. Compared with the technology mastered by high-end powerhouses, Shangguan Qing's technology was too primitive.

Chu Huaitian has always regarded Shangguan Qing as a genius. After several life-and-death battles, he has become more certain that Shangguan Qing has a genius mind. Being able to exert the most primitive power to the extreme is a kind of strength.

"You've been together for a long time, and her stomach hasn't moved yet." Chu Huaitian turned the topic to the next generation.Among his princes, some had already become fathers, but the two eldest had never had any children.

The fourth prince, Chu Qiankang, already had four sons, and not even a girl was born among them.

Chu Huaitian thought that if Chu Qianhan and Shangguan Qing could give birth to a boy, they could have a grandson of the emperor.

With Chu Huaitian and Shangguan Qing in charge of the country, he can rest assured.As for Chu Qianshui, he no longer counted on it. Chu Qianshui seemed to be under a spell, and he would not waver even if there were flowers around him. .

Chu Qianhan was also depressed, the two places were always separated like this, how could Shangguan Qing be pregnant, he was trapped in the capital for more than three months, and the only way to contact Qiongya was by post.

If it weren't for Shangguan Qing's right to open the South Road post office in exchange for his benefits, the communication between the two parties would have become a problem.

A few days ago, Shangguan Qing wrote a letter saying that the Dongyi Navy attacked Qiongya Port. After tenacious fighting, the defenders repelled the enemy, burned 32 enemy ships, blocked the port and forced the enemy's thousand fleet to retreat.

Shangguan Qing asked for credit for the meritorious soldiers while applying for various types of funds such as resettlement, maintenance, and awards after the war. He asked for 32 gold at a time, and asked for cash.It is stated that Qiongya's city defense cannot be strengthened, and it is difficult to resist the second attack of the Dongyi people. Funds are needed to strengthen the city defense, and a project budget of 200 million gold is required.

Chu Qianhan avoided the topic of having children, and changed the subject to talk about asking for money.

"It's rare for me to come back once, so don't talk about these troublesome things." Chu Huaitian tightened his wallet and refused to take the money.He also learned from Shangguan Qing. When Shangguan Qing served as the chief executive officer of Luantai, he tightened his purse strings and refused to spend cash lightly. Instead, he exchanged various materials and conditions.

Chu Huaitian learned the trick, and was determined not to take out a single silver dollar in cash.

Chu Qianhan knew that he couldn't get a thousand dollars, so he asked for the craftsmen in the craftsman department, but was rejected by Chu Huaitian again. Chu Qianhan asked what he had been suppressing for a long time: "Father, Qiongya is a poor place. It is difficult for us to continue to operate if we are constantly drawing blood."

"Give policy." Chu Huaitian didn't want any old face, "As long as it is Qiongya's military and political affairs, you will be fully responsible. I promise not to collect taxes for ten years. The current situation is difficult, and you have to understand."

While the father and son were talking, there was a commotion outside again. Jiang Sixue came in from the outside and saw the emperor present and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"My lord, the girl from the Liu family is here again."

Chu Qianhan frowned, Liu Lin's obsession gave him a headache, he promised Shangguan Qing that he would spend his whole life, so why would he focus on other women.

The cause of this incident was Chu Huaitian, if he hadn't been thinking about political marriage to ease the conflicts between all parties, he would not have been entangled by women.

Jiang Sixue said cautiously: "Miss Liu said she was going to Qiongya and asked the princess to take her in. Do you think so?"

"I..." Chu Qianhan was really annoyed, and said, "Go and call Liu Jinjiang, doesn't he know about my family? Why don't you care about his sister."

"No." Jiang Sixue walked out quickly.He was also bitter in his heart, Shangguan Qing and Chu Qianhan were separated, and he was not allowed to get along with Zhuqing happily, so he was sent to the capital to deliver the letter.

This couple is so bad.Jiang Sixue was full of depression.

Soon Liu Jinjiang rushed over, and Princess Xiyue was with him. After the ceremony, the two sat down in the starting position. Chu Qianhan waited for Liu Jinjiang, because it was inconvenient for Xiyue to speak too directly.

Liu Jinjiang smiled bitterly: "I also think it's wrong." He couldn't say the rest directly.

"If you have something to say, are you men?" Xiyue was more straightforward, she looked at Chu Qianhan and asked, "Qianhan, what's wrong with my Liu Lin that you are so careless. Even if Shangguan Qing is a master of Earth Element, does she have to be higher than others to surpass everything?"

Xiyue's attitude surprised Chu Qianhan. In the past, Xiyue and Shangguan Qing had a very good relationship, but after seeing each other for a few months, their attitude changed completely.

"You can't pamper her all the time, you will cause trouble sooner or later." In Xiyue's words, she was obviously dissatisfied with Shangguan Qing.

This time even Chu Huaitian was puzzled, and asked: "Xiyue, you didn't treat Shangguan Qing like this before, where did she do something wrong and annoy you?"

"No, it's just that she did something wrong." Xiyue avoided talking about it.

Since Xiyue didn't say anything, it was inconvenient for the three men present to talk, so they talked about military affairs in the Northwest. Liu Jinjiang said that it was getting more and more difficult to allocate supplies in the merchant's study, and merchants should not be willing to accept salt rolls, they had to use more The glass store at Shenjitai is the worst, openly refusing to accept salt rolls and all kinds of bills, and can only trade in cash.
