Chapter 378 Rent Compensation
"Princess Four, please take a seat."
Jiang Changle bombed the island, and the Southern Kingdom’s army must have suffered losses, but Princess Nanliu still politely invited her to her home and treated the distinguished guest with the highest standards.
But what on earth were all those delicacies on the guest table? Mu Yi and Mu Er winked silently. This Southern Kingdom was truly puzzling. Were they still planning to neglect the beloved princess of the Black Dragon Guard?
Mu Er didn't even raise his eyelids. The southerners lived a luxurious life in their ten southern cities and one county. They rode on large and luxurious ships, wore clothes covered with gold and rubies, and even the high-caste females had the ability to entertain different males.
It was also said that there were hundreds of thousands or millions of soldiers on the island, but now they were on the island. They followed Princess Nan Liu all the way to the center of the island. Mu Er knew the answer by just casually calculating what he had seen in his mind.
How could the Southern Kingdom have a million-strong army, and how could it even be considered an army?!
fart!
It is easy to imagine that elephants are so heavy. Given the weak production technology of the South Country, how could they transport so many elephants to the island?
Life on the islands is difficult for Southern soldiers, so how can they possibly afford to raise so many elephants?
Look at what a princess eats. The wilted fruits are likely to go bad at any time. The boiled white fish can smell fishy even when standing. The tea is a weird color.
Anyway, Jiang Changle didn't move. He picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, pretending to do so, then held his face and waited for Princess Nan Liu to speak.
Princess Nan Liu has come to this point today, so naturally she doesn't dare to play tricks on Jiang Changle anymore.
"I think the Fourth Princess is here for the ruby, right?" Although Jiang Changle didn't want the ruby.
But now the rubies of the South Country not only endanger the entire South Country, but also affect the interior of the East Country, especially the ten cities and one county in the East Country, which have become as miserable as those in the South Country.
Princess Nanliu often transports supplies back and forth, and is probably more familiar with that place than Jiang Changle, so she guessed the purpose of the Fourth Princess's visit.
"First, tell me about the island rental. Then I'll decide whether to cooperate with you on rubies or other business."
Jiang Changle will not be soft-hearted when it comes to taking what she should take. Only in this way can she gain the upper hand in the negotiations, and things will go more smoothly in the future.
Princess Nan Liu pursed her lips in embarrassment, and only after making a great effort did she answer, "I guess the Fourth Princess has already captured my Fourth Sister?"
Without informing the envoys, Princess Nan Liu knew that Jiang Changle had made full preparations before landing on the island.
"I can give the Fourth Princess ten of the Southern Kingdom's islands! This includes the surrounding waters. Several of these islands have gold, silver, and iron mines, and you can fish in the sea. What do you think, Fourth Princess?"
Rather than saying it was compensation, Princess Nan Liu was more like discarding these heavy burdens to reduce the burden on the Southern Kingdom.
You know, more than 70% of the people and forces in the South now rely on the dividends brought by rubies for their livelihood. Rubies can indeed bring huge wealth to the upper castes in the South.
However, the poor and slaves at the bottom of society were dying in large numbers every day. How long had it been since the ruby was born? The Southern Kingdom had already lost 30% of its population.
This is also because the Southern Kingdom has the highest fertility rate among the four countries, and the number of orcs is the largest compared to the other three countries, so this drawback has not yet fully demonstrated its true influence and severity.
But if the Southern King, Princess and high-caste nobles continue to act like this, I am afraid that within a few years, the entire Southern Kingdom will destroy itself, and the Eastern Kingdom will not even need to take action.
And if she can cooperate with Jiang Changle by giving away ten islands, Princess Nan Liu will be confident that she can take the Southern Kingdom into her possession. She will start her own management and save the Southern Kingdom.
Princess Nan Liu had long heard of Jiang Changle's abilities, otherwise she would not have taken the risk.
Besides, the South Country does not have the ability to develop and excavate those islands, and even fishing boats cannot reach those places.
If the East Country has the ability, then take it.
