Chapter 343 Regional Connections
"One more thing. Does the Tenth City Lord know about the Southern Kingdom Ruby? It's said that it has spread to Kyoto and is very popular among the beastmen."
This is Jiang Changle's next goal. It would be best if he could get some inside information from the Ten City Lords.
Upon hearing this, the Tenth City Lord straightened his back and immediately became alert, "I know that the people of the South secretly hid these rubies in the grain and sold them to the inland of the East.
The landing site is in Ten Cities and One County, which is close to the exile site, Acid Rain Village."
Having said that, the Tenth City Lord looked at Jiang Changle cautiously, fearing that he would accidentally hurt the princess's self-esteem or face, which would be disastrous.
The ten cities and one county are basically the territory of the exiled mine owners, and are also equivalent to the territory of the Fourth Princess.
Therefore, many forces did not dare to step forward to disturb and share the benefits. At the same time, the ten cities, four, five and six counties all focused on the mutated sea and black salt.
Jiang Changle also thought of this and couldn't help asking Lu Xingyan, "Have you received any news from the mine owner recently?"
Jiang Changle's whereabouts are usually uncertain. Not long ago, he was building a city in the northern desert, and soon he went to the eastern nine cities to provide disaster relief. Within a few days, he appeared in the ten coastal cities.
In addition, information transmission in the animal world is slow, so it is not easy to find her.
Therefore, she didn't know whether the people around her had received the letter from the mine owner, or whether the mine owner had not conveyed such news to her?
“Yes, the mine owner said that the reason why the Southern Ruby was able to pass the customs was the result of the cooperation between the Gu family and the Yao family, the eldest princess’s father’s clan, so she didn’t get involved.
After all, our sphere of influence does not actually include the ten cities, but only nine cities, and the mine owner can only send us letters.
At first, everyone underestimated the power of Red Ding Stone, but once they discovered it, they couldn't stop it."
“That ruby is indeed strange. Compared to demonic energy, its damage is not very great. On the contrary, it helps with mating in an unusually harmonious way, just like an aphrodisiac.
I have only seen it but have not used it, so I am not sure about its specific effects.
"I only have the route for the gems and goods to pass through customs." The Tenth City Lord said this, pulling out a paper map from his sleeve and presenting it with both hands.
The paper produced by the Jiang family workshop is very light and has been popularized in various places in the Great East Kingdom.
Jiang Changle took a look at the large blueprint and could only say that he could basically understand it. "Okay, thank you very much. I will find time to take a look."
"Yes, Princess. The Southern Kingdom is good at raising snakes and controlling them with music. They are similar to the poisonous insects in the Western Kingdom and Southern Border, and are very difficult to deal with.
If it were simply a business deal, it might not be a big deal, but I'm afraid the ruby has demonic properties, and over time, it might be able to control the Easterners."
The Tenth City Lord expressed his worries, hoping that the Fourth Princess would listen. After all, once the evil spirit in the Ten Cities was eliminated and the beastmen recovered, they would probably be affected by the ruby again, which would be too tragic.
Jiang Changle knew what the Tenth City Lord meant, that is, rubies could make people addicted and crazy like drugs, and the supply was only in the South Country, so it would be easy for the South Country to control the East Country.
"Okay, the City Lord should also go down and do his work. Madam Zhu will assist me. I will set out tomorrow to visit the ten cities and one county."
The assistance that Jiang Changle mentioned also improved the status of Zhu Niangzi's family and allowed the ten city lords to make good use of talents.
"Yes, princess."
"Yes, princess."
People from both sides went down quickly. Lu Xingyan immediately hugged Jiang Changle in his arms, and his hands began to move restlessly.
"Southern Kingdom, Ten Cities and One County, Acid Rain Village, Savage Forest, my dear wife, do you think these areas are related?
"I've always wondered why there's a beast tide in the Savage Forest? Is it related to demonic energy? Or is it related to Suzaku, the God's seal, or something else?"
