Not only Prince Cai, but also Shi Lingling was dumbfounded.
The attendant indicated the timepiece with his eyes, informing Ying Zheng that the time he had preset to spend on these people had expired.
Ying Zheng then calmly stood up and said calmly: "Your Majesty can make a horse breeder a prince, don't I have such courage? I will let them satisfy you if you need it. Likewise, you'd better be able to satisfy it." I, if not..."
He looked over.
Shi Lingling shuddered and immediately said obediently: "You can kill me with your car!"
Chapter 223
Shi Lingling was very good, and Ying Zheng was very satisfied.
Nodding towards her, he strode away.
At least for now, Shi Lingling, who has not yet demonstrated her magical abilities in front of him, is not enough to get him to pay more attention to her.
In the final analysis, it still depends on strength.
If this woman is really talented, Ying Zheng will not be stingy about rewarding her like the emperor did to the British princes. But if it is just a waste of fame, then go back to where you came from!
Ying Zheng is gone, but Shi Lingling's work has just begun.
The official responsible for looking after her and cooperating with her quickly came over with documents: "To the east of the capital, there is Shanglin Garden covering an area of several hundred miles. It was originally a hunting ground for the ancestors. Today, people are working hard to manage their affairs and seldom travel, so it is a pity that the place is vacant, so they divided some areas for raising livestock."
He unfolded the map of Shanglin Garden in his hand, on which the boundaries and even the mountains and rivers were clearly marked: "Miss Shi, you can choose a location by yourself."
Shi Lingling looked at the map in front of him for a few times, then said, "How many livestock does His Highness plan to allocate to me?"
The official said: "The girl is now allocated one hundred cattle, sheep and horses, and one hundred chickens. You can choose the land with a radius of fifty miles in Shanglin Garden by yourself. As long as it is for raising livestock, whatever is needed Feel free to mention it.”
This is also for safety reasons.
After all, Shi Lingling had just come from Cai State, so it was impossible to hand over a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock to her from the beginning.
Shi Lingling understood this truth, but she didn't feel aggrieved.
These days, cattle and horses are worth more than human lives, so no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
As for breeding, she is familiar with it.
I worked as a veterinarian in my previous life, but in this life I have been around livestock since I was a child, and I even have a super buff on me.
That is to say, after getting to know Prince Cai, she was forced to stop her previous work out of consideration for the dignity and dignity of the royal family.
Now that I have come to the Kingdom of Zhou and gained the respect of the Crown Prince of Zhou Kingdom, I can resume my old career. However, Shi Lingling did not rush to speak, but said: "The matter is important, so make a decision rashly. On the contrary, it’s inappropriate. I want to go to Shanglin Garden to see it in person, is that okay?”
The official then closed the map and said, "Then we'll set off right away."
Such vigorous and resolute actions, without any hesitation or procrastination, the administrative speed of the officials of Zhou State really made Shi Lingling stunned. It is no wonder that they can become the most powerful country in the world!
Shi Lingling had some feelings and went out with him, thinking about how to farm next.
Although she had only been in contact with the Crown Prince of Zhou for a short time, she realized that he was a result-oriented person.
Listen to what he said - if you raise the livestock well, you will be the next Yinghou, but if you don't do it well, then you will wait for the car to break!
According to Shi Lingling's understanding of the nobles of this era, you may not be able to take him seriously if he tells you nice things and makes a big deal for you.
But if he told you harsh words and said he wanted to deal with you, it must be true!
Raising livestock was a promise she made to the prince of Zhou. It was also the foundation for her and her family in Cai to settle down. She had no choice but to act cautiously.
Shi Lingling's mind was racing, thinking about how to house those livestock, and planning to find a suitable place for farming within the fifty miles of land so that the excrement of cattle, horses and other livestock could enter the cycle. , you can also consider building a biogas digester...
This buff that comes with her also has a pretty good effect on crops!
Shi Lingling was thinking as she walked out the door. Not far away, she found that the official suddenly stopped and looked behind her.
She was slightly startled, feeling suspicious. She turned around and saw the blue-faced Crown Prince Cai.
Hey, things have turned, man!
Shi Lingling was a little gloating.
The official next to him already frowned: "Miss Shi, what are you going to do with this concubine of yours?"
When Prince Cai heard this, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably - he never thought that one day he would be called "this concubine"!
His face was grave, he suppressed his displeasure, and called Shi Lingling: "Lingling, how could you say such rude words to the Crown Prince of Zhou? If you don't want to marry me, then our past What is this?!"
What does it count?
Even though I am not as powerful as others, I have to do it as a last resort!
Shi Lingling used to be docile in front of him, lowering her head and obediently listening to his PUA, just because she was afraid of killing her whole family, not because she was too cheap!
But now...
Shi Lingling wanted to show her affection, but was a little worried that one day the other party would turn over and make her look good, so she only took a step back with some fear and carefully looked at the expressions of the officials beside her.
The official was very impatient.
He was assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince to supervise, and by the way, he also cooperated with Shi Lingling's work. He was already bound to Shi Lingling. Not to say that they were both prosperous and deprived, but at least for this year and a half. There is no way to separate them.
For him, Shi Lingling was his future partner, and she also indirectly affected his career, and Prince Cai...
The crown prince of Cai Guo is considered a trivial figure in Zhou Guo!
"Family members, who knows? When I'm at work, my co-worker's ignorant concubine jumps out and gets in the way, but my co-worker is still a bad person..."
You are already in the past tense, do you understand, Lady Cai?
You are old timed!
He could also see that Shi Lingling was still unable to accept the exchange of identities for a while, but a change was a change. His Highness the Crown Prince's eloquent words, how could there be any reason to take back his life?
The person who can bring him political achievements is Shi Lingling. Unless you, the Crown Prince of Cai, can ask His Majesty the Emperor to stand up for you, then just be a concubine!
The official immediately fired the map cannon with a cold face: "It is said that the Cai State is a small country and does not understand the ethics. Which concubine can yell like this in front of the lord? Come on!"
He pointed at the especially astonished Prince Cai: "Go and slap him twice to wake him up!"
Prince Cai: "..."
Shi Lingling: "..."
The servants around him didn't hesitate, they stepped forward quickly, drew their bows left and right, slapped him twice, and then stepped aside respectfully.
The official told Shi Lingling, and also indirectly told Prince Cai: "Miss Shi, I see that you are determined to do something in your words and deeds, so I will say a few more words to you."
"We, Dazhou, are different from Cai Guo. Women can also make contributions. This is appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince. You must accept it and don't waste your energy on some irrelevant people."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this is your concubine, then he is your concubine. How he treated you in the past will be how you treat him in the future. If Jiji Waiwai doesn't know how to behave, he simply sells out. After all, it’s not a big deal to waste your time and energy on him, and if you miss His Highness the Prince’s errand, you and I will both be miserable!”
Shi Lingling was so moved that she almost shed tears and thanked her repeatedly.
When the official saw her coming to the road, his face softened a little: "We have important errands on our shoulders. I'm afraid we have to live nearby in Shanglinyuan. I'll send a few attendants there later. Do you have any?" Whatever needs to be done, just tell them."
This is obviously to give her enough armed force to restrain Prince Cai.
He also said: "I have sent people to Cai Guo to pick up your family. From now on, they will be with you in Dazhou. You don't need to feel homesick for your relatives. Just focus on doing things for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Shi Lingling hurriedly saluted him - to the other person, these few words might be insignificant, but to her, they were extremely important!
The other party quickly helped her up and said simply: "His Highness has an order. As long as you can raise the cows and horses, everything can be discussed. These red tapes are really unnecessary."
After saying that, he went to Shanglin Garden with her, ordered two more people to come over, and signaled to them the red-faced and humiliated Crown Prince Cai: "Find two more people to teach him the rules! "
Shi Lingling and the official left together without looking back.
Prince Cai stood frozen on the spot, feeling a burning pain on his face.
Not because of those two slaps, but because of the shame and humiliation I suffered.
However, the greater humiliation is yet to come.
Soon, the attendants who had been ordered by the official earlier brought two middle-aged women over. They pointed at them casually as if they were looking at goods and said, "These are visitors from a certain country. Please come and teach me." Teach him the local rules."
The two women responded.
The older mother-in-law asked: "Is this a son-in-law?"
Prince Cai almost bounced up as if he had been stabbed.
You are the son-in-law, and your whole family is the son-in-law!
Who are the people who are the adopted sons-in-law at this time?
Almost like a slave!
Once the imperial court imposed corvées, concubines (men and women of low status), criminals, and sons-in-law were all ranked high. It is conceivable how low the status of the bride-in-law was.
The two attendants who were looking after him nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, he is not a son-in-law."
Before the prince of Cai Guo could let go of the tightness in his heart, he heard the other party continue: "He is the male slave of one of His Royal Highness's retainers."
Prince Cai: "..."
The crown prince of Cai Guo was in great pain: "I still want to be a son-in-law."
…
Shi Lingling is just an episode in Ying Zheng's busy life.
As the prince of a country, he does not need to personally handle many complicated matters, but he cannot help but personally steer the ship he is on.
Now the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are preparing their troops and preparing for the war. Gongsun Yi and Yun Weiye have changed their names and sneaked into the Zheng Kingdom, intending to defeat the enemy without fighting. With the help of Yu Zhenzi, the Mohists Next, preliminary experiments have been conducted on gunpowder, and it is estimated that it will be used in military applications in a short time.
And those nobles in the country who realized that his expulsion of Gongsun Yi was just a show because he left the crown prince's family order vacant - especially the stupid ones, also began to get ready to take action.
Some old nobles who were afraid went to visit the eldest son of the (former) emperor. Yunwei knew about it, Ying Zheng knew about it, and even the emperor knew about it.
It's just that they all have a very calm attitude towards this.
For the emperor, he felt that he had fulfilled his duties as a father beyond his limit. His son must seek death, but he had no choice.
As for Ying Zheng, he is afraid that not enough people will jump out.
When the old aristocracy existed as a whole, it was undoubtedly quite a deterrent, but when they had internal differences and separated themselves, the threat was infinitely reduced.
Ying Zheng even laughed and joked with the old guys: "How did Lao Zhu purge the heroes?"
