My Wife is the Villain King Shark

Chapter 14



Chapter 14: 014

“Cooking rice for two people is not much different from that for one person, but there is a slight difference in the amount. The little shark who is good at water has undertaken the cleaning work, and the body feels more relaxed than that of one person. This idea came to Jiang Chaosheng’s mind, Turning his head and thinking, forget it, according to his status, if he is willing to let other people in, he can live a life like the original owner who can stretch out his hand and open his mouth with food.

He chose to do some chores himself, on the one hand, to keep his own secrets, on the other hand, his territorial awareness was too strong, and he did not like his things to be contaminated with the breath of outsiders. The existence of the little mermaid meant endless trouble.

He walked towards the door, and the scheming little merman was still behind him and asked, “Jiang… Is Eun Gong going out? When will he be back?”

Jiang Chaosheng paused: “I’ll sell your pearls, and I’ll come back when I want to go back.”

After eating a bowl of rice noodles, the brain after being disturbed by Ji Xuanbing has energy, and it finally operates normally. He has deeply reflected on it. If he wants to drive the other party away, he shouldn’t be too kind to this little merman.

The merman should have stayed in the vast and boundless deep sea, roaming freely in the sea, rather than being trapped in a small yard on an island. There is no beast in this world that likes to be kept in captivity. With such a small place in the cistern, Ji Xuanbing could hit his tail with just two swims.

The pool water is bigger than Jiang Chaosheng’s bed, but he can still walk around in the yard at will, and go out when he wants to. Mountains, rivers, beaches, and coasts, as long as he can breathe, he can walk with one pair of feet.

As for the merman, there is only a fish tail that is slow on land. The tail cannot wear shoes, and the scales rub directly on the ground. Jiang Chaosheng does not think Ji Xuanbing will not hurt. The other party must be like the mermaid in the daughter of the sea. Smile and dance on the tip of the knife, bubbling with stupidity.

Since he decided to let Ji Xuanbing realize the danger in the world, Jiang Chaosheng made a temporary appointment with the other party for three chapters: “You can only stay in the cistern, and you can’t go anywhere. Without my permission, you can’t touch any food.” A little merman knew that he was hungry, and it was time to go back to the sea to seek a living.

He made such a request, but Ji Xuanbing didn’t protest at all, and responded obediently: “Okay, I’ll wait for the benefactor to come back.”

How could there be such a stupid little merman in the world, Jiang Chaosheng was afraid that he would be confused by the beautiful face of the other party, so he went out the door without looking back.

The houses built around him are basically stone houses or wooden houses, with a square appearance, and the inside and outside can be regarded as rudimentary. Apart from Jiang Chaosheng, the best people currently living in are the log cabins he brought before.

At this time, the sun was already high, Jiang Chaosheng went out, took a white-haired horse from the same simple stable, and walked along the stone road extending outside the house. soldier.

“Hello, my lord.”

At present, there are only so many people in Yecheng, and almost no one does not know Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng waved his hand: “Don’t be too polite, you are busy with yours.”

He turned on his horse, rode for a few kilometers in the direction of the sign, and arrived at a very majestic stone monument. Only then did he pull the reins and hand over the horse to the soldier on the side of the archway who was in charge of guarding the horse.

The horses came down with the supply ship. There were only about 20 horses when they were full. They were transported along the way with the ship. After several days, these precious ponies were able to adapt to the hot climate of Qiongzhou.

As a strategic material, horses have always been very expensive, but what his three brothers managed to get are good horses, and most of them are mares. Among them, the most prodigious horse was given to Jiang Chaosheng as a mount for the trip. Most of the rest were pregnant with cubs, and the stallions without rest were not only hauling some goods every day, but also responsible for cooperating with soldiers in training.

This stone archway is carved from natural boulders, directly from Qiongzhou’s own site. The four bright red characters on it – Qiongzhou New City are naturally from the hands of Jiang Chaosheng.

In addition to Lou Zhan, the third prince also gave Jiang Chaosheng a military advisor whose name is Curly Er. The other party was dark-skinned and did not look like a literati at all. According to his Three Emperor Brothers, the other party came from the Mo family and was a doer with strong hands-on ability.

After the other party arrived, he rode a horse around the interior, and took a group of people to explore the terrain, and set the future Qiongzhou City at the location of the archway: “The mansion where the prince lives is too close to the sea, and it is easy to be caught. If a tsunami or typhoon hits, Qiongzhou City cannot be built around this place, it has to be moved.”

Of course Jiang Chaosheng has no objection: “Move.”

This master Juan has a hard-boiled style and speaks very directly: “The prince’s house can still live, if it is to be built according to the construction method of the royal garden, it will not be built in a year or two. Repair your city master’s mansion.”

This is actually a test. After all, the eleventh prince had a bad reputation in the past, and the curly ears owed the favor of the third prince. If Jiang Chaosheng was arrogant, extravagant, and self-willed, then he built Jiang Chaosheng’s house and left, and at most gave him peace. Wang throws away some drawings. Even with the same drawings, Curly Ear is confident that he can build the best house with the least budget.

Jiang Chaosheng is happy to be the boss of this kind of professional work. He has only one request: “Within the budget, just follow your ideas. It’s okay to exceed a little, but too much is not acceptable.”

If you want to build a city, even if it is a small city, it is definitely not something that can be done in ten days and a half, so Jiang Chaosheng is still a small wooden house. According to the idea of the master craftsman, they will try to build the prototype of the city within half a year, and the areas that need to be developed later can be slowly repaired when there are more people in Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou City currently has only 1,000 registered households, of which 700 are Jiang Chaosheng’s own staff, and 300 are aborigines of Xiaohai Village.

Counting one soldier as ten, Jiang Chaosheng recruited 1,700 people to build the city. He doesn’t dislike the number of people, he wants as many people as he wants. It’s just that craftsmen who are too far won’t travel over mountains and rivers. There are still many jobs in their hands. Jiang Chaosheng is not taking advantage of it, and he will not pay four times or five times the market price. dig them. Two thousand people build a city in half a year. As long as there are no accidents, anything can be built.

Lou Zhan’s people are responsible for maintaining law and order, and they are also responsible for staring at these craftsmen. Those who are disobedient, like to make their own decisions, and those who steal and play tricks are all driven away.

Near the archway is the most lively, there is a square paved with slate, and there are many temporary stalls, all of which are people who come to do small business. The artisans who do the hard work are covered with food and lodging, but the local people who do manual work do not. Moreover, these artisans come from all over the world and have different tastes. Occasionally, if you are greedy, you should always eat something good.

Jiang Chaosheng is quite generous in giving money, and he is willing to pay once a month for half a year or even a year of work. Most of the craftsmen have family members. When they see some gadgets, they are definitely willing to buy them and send them home. Traders from all over the world have always been the most well-informed and the most willing to move places. I heard that Qiongzhou New Town pays little tax and has business, so the number of stalls has gradually increased.

Jiang Chaosheng’s neighborhood is all his own people. After entering the city, there are not as many people who recognize him as before. When a new vendor sees this richly dressed young man coming over, he thinks that he is coming from another place to see the fun. , busy shouting hello to him.

If it were normal, Jiang Chaosheng would have stopped to buy some small things, but this time he ignored it, asked the soldier, carried the box of pearls, and ran directly to Lou Zhan.

For a month, the groves and bushes near the plaque have been chopped down, the wild grasses on the land have been burned, and there are bare patches of land everywhere.

Jiang Chaosheng’s future city master’s mansion is just a piece of grass with an empty sign. Almost everywhere is deserted, but there are still some simple houses built in the city. These are for the craftsmen who come to work, so that they don’t rush back and forth.

Among these houses is a large warehouse that has been set up, and it is currently used as a conference center, and the building war is now staying here.

“My lord, why are you here?” Seeing Jiang Chaosheng, Lou Zhan’s cold and stern face looked much softer. “It’s so early today, and meals are available. There is a cake stand at the city gate that tastes very good.”

“I’ve used it, I’ll come and see how you guys are doing.” Jiang Chaosheng said casually, making it appear that he didn’t come here specifically for the pearl.

After saying a few words, Jiang Chaosheng took out the small box from his sleeve: “I found this in the box, you can see if it is valuable, if it is valuable, it will be sold, and more people will be recruited.”

Lou Zhan asked him: “But the prince’s money is not enough. We can control the expenses. Now the soldiers don’t have to fight, and they can eat less.”

Whether it’s building a house or building a road, all kinds of materials cost money. He now has too few people in his territory, and building construction and training soldiers is a very expensive project.

In order to encourage people to move to Qiongzhou, Jiang Chaosheng’s taxes were very low in the initial stage. The taxes and fees from the small stalls and the people were really poor, and the expenses were far less than the income.

Although he has a boat to deliver the goods, he also needs to be supervised when building a house, and the property on the island also needs to be protected. At present, Qiongzhou’s finances are entirely supported by refined salt, and Jiang Chaosheng’s small treasury has been put in a lot.

“It’s not as bad as you think, mainly because I can’t use it either. You used to go to sea often, so you should be more familiar with the price of sea goods than me.”

The nearby areas are all Haicheng, and the price of seafood is not high enough. If you want to sell it, you must find that kind of big business. As long as you can shoot at a good price, you can earn even if you pay a commission, but the premise is that the pearls are valuable.

Jiang Chaosheng opened the small box, which was full of pearls, smooth and round, without the slightest flaw.

Lou Zhan poured it out: “Though these pearls are not big, they are bright in color and have a good roundness. They belong to the top grade and should be able to sell for a good price.”

“Compared with ordinary pearls? Is there anything strange?” Jiang Chaosheng didn’t know if the people here had the ability to identify pearls produced by sharks.

Lou Zhan picked up a hand: “The gloss is very good, and it’s hard to come by. The size is even, it should be more valuable to sell together, and there is nothing strange about it.”

Jiang Chaosheng was relieved and pushed the box over: “Then sell them all, and the money from the successful sale will be taken out to add a few more dishes to the big guy.”

You don’t eat fish at the beach, but if you eat too much fish, you will get tired. In addition to planting, aquaculture must also develop, not to mention taking out too much for your own food.

He had lunch in Xincheng. The cook specially slaughtered a sheep and brought a large plate of tender lamb chops to Jiang Chaosheng.

The food was delicious, but Jiang Chaosheng didn’t know the taste. He hesitated whether to go back and give the little shark a point, but when he remembered the idea of starving him, he finally gave up.

When I went back, I made it clear that the pearls were sold for a lot of money, and this box of pearls was a gift, so I didn’t need to stay here to show my gratitude.

It was getting dark, and the night road was always difficult to walk. Before the stall closed, Jiang Chaosheng brought some food and rode his little horse named Chasing Wind back to the old site of Qiongzhou City.

It was obviously his residence, but Jiang Chaosheng stopped in front of the door. He hesitated for a moment, but pushed open the door.

“Chaosheng, you’re back!” As soon as the door opened, a shadow flew from the cistern, like a bolt of lightning, and fell firmly into his arms.

The little mermaid with a rumbling stomach hugged him tightly: “You haven’t come back, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

His tail gleamed in the moonlight, and Jiang Chaosheng quickly closed the door for fear of outsiders seeing it.

Jiang Chaosheng’s hand couldn’t help rubbing the other’s flat belly. The little merman’s belly was deflated and obviously empty. He listened to what he said, where was the cleverness that he used to steal fish, eat and go to bed.

If he doesn’t come back, is this stupid merman going to starve himself to death? The young man pinched the merman’s smooth and snow-white cheeks and pinch the other’s lips: “Are you an idiot? Did you sell it?”

Ji Xuanbing blinked his clear eyes and looked at him innocently: “I believe in the benefactor.”

“Then I’ll lock you up and force you to cry every day, and make you cry blindly.” Huai Bi is guilty, this little merman does not know the sinister human heart at all.

“Well…” Ji Xuanbing struggled for a while, “Is it because tears can turn into pearls? I will cry hard! I earn money to support my benefactor.”

How can there be such an honest and obedient idiot in the world! He was so stupid that Jiang Chaosheng couldn’t bear to bully him.
