my wife is the villain king shark

Chapter 34

"Ooo."

The white-feathered seagull on the side finished eating the fresh small dried fish, and its beak was about to move to aim at other food, unprocessed fresh fish, and sea shrimps that were similar to human arms.Although there are many prey in the sea, they are all cunning, and it is not as easy to eat directly from the basin.

Ji Xuanbing quickly picked up the stupid seagull, fed the unlucky white pigeon into its mouth, and threw it into the sky, throwing the latter thousands of miles away.Ji Xuanbing has lived for so many years, except for her husband, there is no creature that can snatch food from her bowl.

As soon as Jiang Chaosheng raised his head, he saw that the seagull who had contributed to the tip-off turned into a white shooting star, turned several times in succession, and quickly turned into an inconspicuous dot in the sky.

Jiang Chaosheng looked amused: "There are so many, it doesn't matter if you give it something to eat."

"Husband, don't think I'm stingy. Xiaobai is very greedy. If you eat it this time, it will come here often." The thrifty Xiaoyuren looked serious, "It's still very good to eat, if you eat it every day , for our poor family, it will make the situation worse and will make the husband poor."

"Ou...Ou" The seagull tumbling and circling in the air flew for a while before stabilizing its figure. Even if it was far away, it knew that the domineering mermaid must be speaking ill of itself.He is obviously rich in the sea, but he is so stingy with himself.When I bought it to keep an eye on it, I knew how to give it a pot of sea fish, but now I drive myself away after eating two, the male is so insidious and fickle.It dived towards the sea surface, flapped its wings angrily, and then saw a vortex in the sea, and a sea clan patrolling the sea surface appeared.

The seagull was so frightened that it hurried into the sky, found a reef high enough, and folded its wings angrily.If it weren't for Ji Xuanbing's strength, it wouldn't work for such a stingy shark.

Jiang Chaosheng couldn't help laughing: "I'm not so poor." It's just one seagull, eight or ten can afford it.The food in the horizontal and vertical villages is not exhausted so quickly, and the seagulls that can only be eaten can be exchanged for new ones.

"That's not okay. The sea is the same as on the shore. The weak eat the strong. Food comes too easily. Then Xiaobai will be so fat that he can't fly. Just like that pigeon, he will become the vulture's meal." Ji Xuanbing said He is so serious that it is completely impossible to tell that he is just protecting food.

Seeing that he spoke righteously, Jiang Chaosheng praised a few words along the way: "Madam is really hardworking, but I didn't think about it."

The corners of Ji Xuanbing's lips curled up triumphantly, as if he felt that this was not good, and quickly added a few words: "It's okay, my husband is also very powerful, so don't belittle yourself like this. It's just because you haven't lived by the sea before, and you don't know how treacherous these guys are." , Now that I know, I won’t be fooled in the future.”

This made Seagull so angry that Ou Ou cried out, Qiongzhou New City, the biggest scam was done by the young Shaman Emperor, it is really black-hearted and shameless.

Jiang Chaosheng stuffed a piece of eggplant meat into Ji Xuanbing's mouth, and plugged his small mouth: "The barbecue is not delicious when it's cold. After eating these, we can talk about the old city of Qiongzhou." It's already a sinking city, so hurry up Listening to it will not make the city regain its former glory, and if you talk about unhappy things, you will lose your appetite.

Most of the barbecue was meat and meat, and I was very full. After eating for a while, Ji Xuanbing burped, and Jiang Chaosheng pushed over the drink in a glass cup.The big and sweet grapes are peeled and seeded, and served with coconut pulp in fresh coconuts. The light green pulp is mixed with coconut water, which is sweet and sour, refreshing and greasy.

Jiang Chaosheng's cup did not use coconut meat, but added a little wine and picked two green mint leaves.Ji Xuanbing took a big sip of the love drink, lay on the rocking chair and rocked a few times, feeling overwhelmed with happiness, and nothing would change such a good day.

"Husband, you should have heard that there used to be a city in Qiongzhou that was about the same size as Wangzhou City. It was about five or sixty years ago. I was not born at that time, so this matter has nothing to do with me."

When Ji Xuanbing told the story, he had to clear up his own responsibilities first, after all, this matter had something to do with the Merman Clan.

"I know this." Although the previous officials and his leadership team are dead, there are still some survivors. From the words left by them and the old man's words, Jiang Chaosheng understands Qiongzhou City more or less History.

Ji Xuanbing continued: "Actually, about 200 years ago, Qiongzhou City and Wangzhou City were brother cities, and the lords of these two cities were elected by a large tribe."

Qiongzhou is too far away from the capital. Although it is nominally the territory of the Lan Kingdom, because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the language and customs are difficult, the locals don't listen to outsiders.Officials from the capital can't control the locals at all, and their words are not as effective as the chiefs of the tribe.

After a period of running-in, the emperor at that time, the great-great-great-grandfather of the current emperor, set up an official position similar to that of the deputy city lord, which could only be held by local high-profile people, and the highest position was still held by the court of Lan Kingdom. hand.

It's just that Qiongzhou and Wangzhou are poor, and they don't have much to contribute to the imperial court. Instead, they still need the imperial court's help. These two cities later gradually became the places to distribute officials.

"Five or 60 years ago, the emperor sent two officials over. The one in Qiongzhou City was a bit capable, and revitalized Qiongzhou a bit. The city was built better than the neighboring Wangzhou."

The island is rich in all kinds of fruits. Besides coconuts, there are also grapes, pineapples, bananas, and mangoes. They are very rich in supplies, but no one will take the initiative to plant these crops. All the fruits are bestowed by God. Wild crops, everyone is hungry In order to find fruit to eat, few people will take it out and sell it.

Because the local residents want to eat it, they go directly to the mountains and forests to pick it, and the price is cheap, and they can't sell much for a day of hard work. It's better to sell seafood such as fish.If these fruits are transported far away, they can be sold for some money, and they can be sold at a high price, but there will be no merchants doing this kind of business, because these fruits are too difficult to preserve, and they will disappear after a few days. will rot.If you use ice and the like to preserve, that kind of large ice is more valuable than these fruits.

The sea route is far away and dangerous, unlike rivers, which are basically calm and there are no waves. It is good luck to transport people and goods on board to the destination without any injuries. Maritime merchants risk their lives. It is a very expensive item, such as pepper and other seasonings.

Sea fish are valuable, but it is not the hard-working villagers who earn the big money, but the merchants who are in charge of buying and selling. Pearls in the sea are very valuable, but their quantity is very rare.

"Does Chaosheng know how human pearls come from?"

Jiang Chaosheng nodded: "Very few are obtained by accident by fishermen, most of them are obtained by pearl divers."

In his world, it didn't take long for pearl divers to withdraw from history. Later, the world was not doing well, and luxury goods such as pearls and gemstones were no longer popular, and he didn't care about this aspect.

"You are called pearl divers over there, and those on the beach are called haenyeo, because almost all pearl divers are women, and they are unmarried women."

Because of the mysterious beauty of pearls, there is a saying by the sea that pure and beautiful girls are more likely to catch pearls. Basically, all the pearls used by the royal family and nobles are collected by divers at the risk of their lives.

"Back when Qiongzhou became rich, it relied on the sea girls raised by the owner of Xincheng. The government stepped in to hire and train the sea girls, and let the experienced old people take the young people to the sea. All the pearls they picked were handed over to the government, and then the government organized them to sell them. An official route was built."

We all know that pearls are valuable, but businessmen are cunning and cunning. They always buy the hard-earned pearls collected by divers with very little money. Zhoucheng's economy has been in a virtuous circle, and it has gradually improved.

Theoretically, anyone can do it, but if the officials are incompetent, the people below refuse to accept him, and he has no contacts to find ships, the business cannot be done, and after making money, people's hearts will fluctuate, and distribution is a big problem. No one is willing to suffer a disadvantage, and if one is not careful, one monk carries water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.

This official has connections and skills, and he is willing to distribute the money he gets. He is also trustworthy in order to get things done.After all, it is not easy to ask experienced divers to teach young divers, and many people keep all the money in their pockets after earning it. Like Pixiu, they refuse to spit out a copper coin, and the common people are not fools. After suffering a few losses, you will definitely find a way to make it bad.

Jiang Chaosheng has never heard of this story, and he also knows the last one. No, it should be said that he was the last city lord. He can be regarded as an official who can engage in economics. The last city lord was 20 years ago. All the pirates who tried to rob him were killed.Before Jiang Chaosheng was dispatched, this piece of land was considered to be in the state of no government.

"But husband, you are more powerful, and you will definitely do better than that official!" When talking about stories, Ji Xuanbing did not forget to praise Jiang Chaosheng. There are very few people in the world who can restrain their greed, and his husband is very few. .

Xiao Yuren was proud of his good vision, and he continued, "Wangzhou also wanted to copy Qiongzhou's success, but failed because of the uneven distribution of spoils in the early stage."

After more than 100 years, the brothers who were harmonious at the time turned against each other long ago. The master of Wangzhou was born as a pirate in his ancestors, and the blood of burning, killing and plundering flowed in his bones.Do it slowly by yourself, there is no way to snatch it quickly.They set their eyes on the adjacent Qiongzhou City.They spent a lot of money to poach the sea girls that Qiongzhou worked so hard to cultivate to teach their own people.

Jiang Chaosheng has seen many such things. Being poor and backward does not necessarily mean that the people are simple and honest, but it is more likely to be chaotic, burning, killing and looting. "The sea girl can't let Qiongzhou City be flooded overnight. They don't have the ability to do that." The old people who have experienced the events of the past said that some people did a lot of evil and offended the gods, and they were punished by the Sea God. In the meantime, the sea water soared a hundred meters, directly submerging the entire city, and those with good water skills escaped by chance, without their families and hometowns ever since.

Ji Xuanbing nodded: "That's right, they don't have such abilities, but the Sea Clan does. Among the sea girls in Wangzhou back then, one of them was of Merman blood."
