Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 221 Return to Wu Village

On the second day after Mu Ziyang visited Nan Rongwan, she chose to hang herself in prison.

How could he be willing to live in humiliation in prison when he has always lived with pride?

No one was sad about her death except Concubine Jing who pretended to be sad for two days.

Mu Ziyang took the list she left behind and handed it to Nan Rongzhi.

Now that Zheng Xiao is gone, the Zheng family must train the next successor to the head of the family.

As for the next heir, Zhao Lanxue had already chosen him for them, and that was Zheng Xiao’s half-brother, Zheng Hong.

And he has secretly surrendered to the prince, and now another aristocratic family has been taken down.

In addition to Nan Rongwan's list, within half a year, they also eliminated several officials based on the evidence recorded by Nan Rongwan.

There were also a few who secretly surrendered to Nan Rongzhi.

It can be said that Nan Rongzhi won a great victory in this battle.

The eldest prince only knew that he had lost a sister, and he had not yet noticed the changes in those noble families and officials.

There are many officials who support him, so he doesn't care if a few are missing.

However, Prime Minister Zhao noticed something unusual and was fooled by Zhao Lanxue.

With Nan Rongzhi's speed, the eldest prince will definitely not be a match in more than a year.

However, they are not fools. Even though Prince Zhennan and the Third Prince are standing in front of them, it is impossible for them not to notice it.

It is estimated that in half a year at most, Prime Minister Zhao will definitely find out that something is wrong.

"Now Nan Rongxin feels that he can take me down, so there is no obstacle to me in business."

Meng Xiyue looked at the account book for the year and was very satisfied.

In the past six months since the agency was opened, the overall efficiency of the shop has increased nearly a hundred times.

Meng Xiyue used most of the silver for disaster relief and building shelters.

Now Nan Rongzhi and Meng Xiyue's prestige among the people has increased a lot.

"Everything is going well in the court now."

Nan Rongzhi said.

It has only been a year since Meng Xiyue came here, and the entire Nanrong Kingdom has undergone considerable changes.

Especially the beggars outside, they are almost invisible.

"I came to see you today because I want you to go to Wujia Village again."

When Meng Xiyue heard the word "Wujiacun", her hand that was flipping through the account book paused.

Ever since she came back from Wujia Village last time, she has deliberately tried to forget about this matter and that person.

After returning, Nan Rongzhi also sent people to investigate, but found nothing unusual, as if the man was really just Wu Feng from Wujia Village.

Just a person who looks similar to Xie Junyi.

Gradually, she thought that maybe she was overthinking it. How could that person run to a small fishing village?

But when she heard the name Wujia Village again, her heart still beat violently.

"What's the matter with going there?"

Nan Rongzhi knew her concerns and explained, "I received a letter from the censor a few days ago, saying that the kelp over there has been rotting on a large scale recently. I don't know what's going on, so I want you to go over and take a look."

After all, this matter was Meng Xiyue's idea. The farmers there couldn't find the problem, so they wanted to seek help from the court.

But in the entire court, Meng Xiyue was the only one who knew something about kelp farming.

During the past six months, aquaculture production at the seaside has also taken off, but due to lack of experience, we always encounter various problems.

"Is kelp rotting? It's spring now, the weather is getting warmer, and the seawater temperature is rising, so it's normal for it to rot. Don't farm kelp this summer. Wait until fall and start again. Before the water temperature rises next year, harvest them all and everything will be fine."

Meng Xiyue was annoyed that she had forgotten to ask about such an important issue as the water temperature.

When they started planting, it was autumn, so they were not affected by the water temperature.

The problem was not discovered until now.

"You'd better go there yourself."

Nan Rongzhi's repeated requests finally made her realize something was wrong.

"I was asked to go to Wujia Village to see the kelp, but it was fake. Is there something else?"

Nan Rongzhi nodded, "Yue'er still understands me the best."

"I want to develop more guns and train a team, but saltpeter is hard to buy. I sent people to search for half a year before I found a mountain with saltpeter, near Wujia Village."

After hearing this, Meng Xiyue also understood that she wanted her to go to Wujia Village with her.

Using the cover of checking the kelp, go find the mountain.

"Recently, Prime Minister Zhao has noticed the changes in the situation in the court and has sent people to keep a close eye on me. I cannot leave the capital, so you have to do this for me."

If this matter was not something that should not be known to other people, she would not have made things difficult for Meng Xiyue.

Meng Xiyue pondered for a moment, "I can go, but there are some things I still want to tell you in advance."

"Okay, you say."

"Sister Zhi, this thermal weapon is too powerful. Its appearance may not necessarily bring good things to the world. You can use it to protect yourself, but you must not lose yourself."

Now they are still wholeheartedly serving the people, but if she takes that position, that may not be the case.

People always say that the throne will change a person and make him ambitious.

She was a little afraid that Nan Rongzhi would become that kind of person.

After all, guns and bombs are too powerful. If she uses these hot weapons to attack other countries, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I will never go the wrong way. I only built a pistol team for self-protection and just in case."

After all, Prime Minister Zhao and the eldest prince were too powerful, and she was afraid that they would suddenly rebel. When reason didn't work, weapons were the best deterrent.

She wanted a pistol not for the purpose of killing, but for self-protection and deterrence.

She is a police officer. She has a deeper sense of justice than anyone else. She will never displace people for her own selfish reasons.

"There is only one mountain in the entire Nanrong Kingdom that has saltpeter. When you go there, buy it for yourself. As long as I make hot weapons, I will buy saltpeter from you. In this way, you can rest assured."

Nan Rongzhi understood her concerns and was willing to give her this security.

Seeing her so calm, Meng Xiyue felt a little relieved.

"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look."

Anyway, I'll only be there for one day and I may not meet him.

After the discussion, Meng Xiyue brought Xiaoxiao and Qianxiang to Wujia Village the next day.

In just half a year, changes have taken place here.

What is placed on the beach is no longer just fishing nets, but also long stretches of kelp.

Some of the kelp that was harvested early is almost dry, but those that were harvested late have already rotted in the sea.

Meng Xiyue explained the matter of water temperature to the village chief and others again.

After hearing this, the village chief frowned and said, "In that case, we can only cultivate kelp for half a year, so we still have to go out to sea to fish in the summer."
