Chapter 1306 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 28
Did Shu Jiao not anticipate that linking Miluo Island with wealth would attract a group of wolves and tigers coveting the island?
This is the battle she wants.
The first battle made Miluo Island famous!
She wanted everyone to tremble with fear at the mere mention of "Milo Island," and obediently pave the way for her business.
She wants to raise the "Shu" flag and become the uncrowned queen of this sea;
She wanted everyone who entered the maritime trade industry to abide by the rules she set!
Gentlemen, open the door.
Free trade.

"What's going on in Daxing?"
Shu Jiao asked a question.
"I asked if you needed any support. If so, they can send someone to help you."
003 said, "The letter Qi Xun sent you is still on its way."
There's nothing we can do these days.
The message delivery speed is too slow.
Shu Jiao chuckled softly, "At least you still have some conscience."
Over the years, Qi Ye has brought quite a few things to his house.
We can't raise an ungrateful child.
"Qi Xun has been quite busy these past few days, so the messages were received a bit slowly."
003 explained.
Otherwise, Shu Jiao would probably have received the letter of assistance by now.
Shu Jiao gave a curious "Oh".
003: "He's busy rebelling."
Shu Jiao: ...
Shu Jiao's eyes lit up. "Such an important (interesting) event, and he didn't even call me?!"
If you want to rebel, go find her!
She's so experienced!
Qi Xun, who has never rebelled before, does he know how to rebel? Does he know how to rebel in a way that maximizes its value?
Tsk~
What a waste of a golden opportunity!
003 ignored Shu Jiao's comment and only explained, "That little emperor is too tactless. He keeps making small moves and annoys Qi Xun."
Originally, Qi Xun wanted to improve his reputation.
I figured being a regent would be fine.
Unexpectedly, the young emperor is too much of a troublemaker. Today he poisons the army, tomorrow he steals money from the military pay. He can't do anything right and is the number one hindrance.
Qi Xun endured it, one hand after another.
His subordinates couldn't stand it.
Nobody wants a boss who drags them down, even if he's just a puppet.
Besides, the young emperor is still the emperor after all. With the title in hand, he can really come up with all sorts of disgusting tricks when he wants to.
And so, Qi Xun was forced to don the yellow robe and ascend the throne.
Right now, Daxing is busy with the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
Qi Ye was directly granted the title of Prince Sheng and given a residence in the Prince's Mansion, but he did not go to live there and instead stayed at the Shu Residence.
joke.
As for the dilapidated state of Prince Sheng's mansion, let whoever wants to live there live there.
He didn't stay.
The treasures in the Shu residence were all carefully selected by him. Many of them were treasures he managed to procure from Shu Jiao's warehouse by using his influence and connections.
How could he possibly bear to leave?
As for moving there?
He would be heartbroken if he even bumped into something on the way.
forget it.
Who in the entire court doesn't know him, Qi Ye, who was sold to the Shu family by his father?
He's taken advantage of her, so what?
He wants to see who dares to laugh.
Of all the officials in the court, who hasn't enjoyed the benefits he brought back by living off his wife?
The grain variety that was promoted nationwide and produced an astonishing yield was enough for the people and the imperial court to support him and Shu Jiao.
When Qi Xunxin was sent to the island, Shu Jiao had already started fighting with the Waha soldiers of the eighteen kingdoms.
The flying artillery fire drowned out the screams of agony from the seabed, turning the azure surface into a bloody mess.
On the opposing battlefield, where fireballs, cannons, crossbows, hooks, and javelins were the main weapons, Shu Jiao pulled out a "water mine" with her bare hands.
It's still the plus-upgraded, timed-explosion version.
as well as……
Simplified version of anti-ship missile - Fire Dragon Emerges from the Water.
A single booster could send the rocket directly to the enemy ship.
This is not of the same magnitude at all.
How to fight this?
Those who value money over their lives are ultimately a minority.
They were beaten so badly they cried for their parents in the first encounter that any further beatings would only result in their deaths.
In just half a month, the navy formed by these eighteen countries disintegrated like a pile of loose sand, falling apart without even a breeze.
They ran faster than if a ghost were chasing them.
Also.
Whether ghosts exist or not is hard to say, but the Shu family's fleet that followed could really send them to the underworld to see ghosts.
Shu Jiao was not polite either.
With a wave of his hand...
We'll have a weapons research and development team, a weapons manufacturing plant, eighteen combat ships with maximum attack power, and a fully upgraded defense system on the island.
Money is a minor issue.
Shu Jiao didn't even glance at the rapidly changing gold numbers at the top of the screen; she immediately replenished the minion wave.
Then--
Army attack!
They were tidied up one by one.
what?
Destroy the country?
How could that be?
Our Shu family only does business and doesn't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. But you provoked us first, so I'm going to buy all your goods at half price. You don't have any objections, do you?
have opinions?
Then go talk to my cannon.
While other countries were still largely ignorant about economics and finance, Shu Jiao took the lead in manipulating exchange rates, naturally making a fortune.
The money spent earlier has been earned back many times over.
of course.
There are also those who don't want to listen.
Then the only option is to beat them until they're willing to obey.
The few small countries that the Shu family's fleet destroyed along the way terrified a group of people.
"It's a good thing we didn't get involved in this."
The officials of Daxing couldn't help but feel fortunate.
It should be noted that when the eighteen nations joined forces to invade Miluo Island, they were also blinded by its wealth and prepared to cause some trouble.
Qi Xun forcefully stopped them.
"Ha~"
Qi Xun chuckled softly, "Fight her? What are we going to fight her with?"
In the past two years, Daxing's naval weapons have become increasingly powerful. Could they have developed them themselves?
It's all thanks to Shu Jiao.
Would Shu Jiao really give him the best weapon she has?
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that's impossible!
His son had said that there were many incredibly powerful creatures on that island, and he wasn't going to cause any trouble.
"Your Majesty is wise."
A group of courtiers praised it.
Qi Xun's lips twitched.
Forget it, just do whatever you want.
He absolutely refused to admit that he had chickened out.
On the other side, Shu Xi, who was already over ten years old, was fighting alongside the Shu family's main force.
She patiently observed how her own people "negotiated business" with the islanders, and how they used the overwhelming advantage of the ship's cannons to firmly lock in the dominant position...
Halfway through the journey, her eyes became much sharper.
When they returned to the island, Shu Jiao gave her a new fleet of ships without saying a word.
Ten ships, all fully equipped.
"From today onwards, this is your first fleet of ships, all yours alone."
Shu Jiao introduced the captain to her, saying, "How you use him is up to you. What you achieve is also up to you. I'll give you a year to go ahead and do it."
What's the use of just looking?
Get hands-on experience.
No matter how much you think about it, nothing beats personally leading a team out on a journey.
Whether it's success or failure, it will all provide Shuxi with invaluable experience.
Success would be great, and then Shu Jiao would hand over the second fleet to her.
failure?
It doesn't matter.
They, mother and daughter, can afford to lose.
The wealth on Miro Island is enough to pay for Shuxi's failures countless times!
