"In addition, attention should also be paid to the cement mortar."
"The Firearms Workshop needs cement to build houses."
"Each important road also needs cement to build watchtowers."
"I know South Vietnam has a small population, so I hope the Great Elder will forgive me. Regardless of gender, age, or status, everyone will definitely need to work. Strong men will do the hard labor, strong women will handle the lighter chores, and the rest will do what they can."
The Great Elder was a little confused when he heard this.
"Three-in-one soil?"
"Haha, that's what Junior Brother said today." Hai Zai took over the conversation. "Simply put, houses built with this stuff can be more solid and waterproof against rain and moisture. We need shells like sea snails. I've told Xiao Ning that there are almost piles of sea shells outside Panyu City. We can use them anytime we need them."
"Um."
The Great Elder was confused, but nodded. These shells were of little use to them, and because there were so many of them, they needed to arrange for manpower to transport them. If Ning Que needed them, they could be recycled.
Ning Que clapped his hands.
Wang Ergou walked into the house.
At the same time, spread the prepared map on the table.
"This is the map I made based on the information the Grand Minister gathered. It's a bit crude, but it's basically clear. Our main opponent right now is Minyue, and going forward we'll focus on developing our strength. I've prepared some paperwork, so I'll have to trouble you, Brother Hai."
"good."
Haejae and Haegui nodded simultaneously.
Ning Que had already calculated all these.
His goal was to ensure that Lingnan possessed a force comparable to Dafeng in the shortest possible time. This meant not just military strength, but an all-around crushing victory. Only then could Ning Que be confident of overthrowing Emperor Feng's rule.
"That's it for now."
"We'll discuss whatever comes to mind later."
Ning Que stood up.
The Great Elder also stood up and said with a smile, "Seeing that the king has been so thoughtful, I am relieved. We used to doubt you, fearing that you had ulterior motives. Now it seems that it was all our petty thoughts. However, the prince will surely have many things to do later, and I am too old to always be by his side. I think it would be better if Mu Ya took my place."
“…”
“…”
Ning Que and the others were speechless.
This old fox is so dishonest!
It was obvious that he was still greedy for Ning Que's body.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The Yue people are naturally free and easygoing, sometimes playing poker outdoors if they're attracted to someone. Unauthorized sex is a minor concern for them; after all, they need to actively produce children to sustain their tribe. It's not just the men; the women are equally forthright. If they're attracted to someone, they'll constantly express their feelings, which is perfectly normal for them.
If this were done in Dafeng, it would definitely be against etiquette. But this is Nanyue after all, so one must follow local customs. And because there are fewer men in Lingnan, polygamy is common. The more wives a man has, the more capable he is.
"I think it's feasible." Shen Qinghe nodded in agreement and whispered, "My husband, I've also spent some time with Princess Muya. I think she's quite capable, and she also knows some of the Dafeng language, so communication will be easier. Now that Princess Muya is in charge, I believe the Great Elder and the King of Nanyue can rest assured."
"Thank you, Princess, for your understanding."
"Okay..."
Ning Que had no choice but to nod upon seeing this.
South Vietnam, while still a nation, had a very primitive administrative system. Essentially, decisions were made by the elders of the tribe, who then handed them over to the warriors. There was usually little going on, and the country was completely disorganized.
It would be reasonable for Princess Muya to represent the Nanyue Kingdom. The Great Elder would then be able to take charge of Panyu, and King Jiejun of Nanyue would be able to do more.
After the meeting, they dispersed. Ning Que dragged Shen Qinghe out of the bamboo house. Shen Qinghe rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly, "I've recovered now. Po Lu has Qingfeng Mingyue and the wet nurse to look after me. If anything happens to you later, you must take me with you. You and I are husband and wife, we are one. If you live, I live, if you die, I die!"
"Ahem, not really."
Ning Que suddenly looked a little embarrassed and said quickly, "I was planning to go check out the firearms shop and potatoes today, and since I was busy for half the night last night and you slept so soundly, I thought I'd let you rest a little longer."
Shen Qinghe's pretty face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Looking at Ning Que, her eyes were filled with spring water.
At this moment, the atmosphere is tender and charming.
"That's because you're so mean..."
"hey-hey!"
Ning Que grinned evilly.
He took Shen Qinghe into his arms.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
"If I go out later, I will definitely call you."
"Even if I need to go out to relieve myself, I will call you."
"Pooh!"
Shen Qinghe's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, but she still snuggled in Ning Que's arms, hugging him tightly, and whispered, "I know you are a martial arts expert, and I also know that these Japanese can't hurt you. But it's better to be safe than sorry. You are my motivation to live, and my child and I are waiting for you."
"Actually, I really want to possess you all by myself. But given your status and position, I also want to fight alongside you in the future. I can't handle it alone... That's why I'm thinking of taking a concubine for you."
Ning Que's heart suddenly trembled.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
As Shen Qinghe twisted her body, Ning Que couldn't help but feel distracted. His hands were dishonestly climbing up along her waist. Especially since Shen Qinghe was still breastfeeding, her already majestic breasts were now even more rounded and straight.
"Pooh."
Shen Qinghe blushed and quickly broke free.
Looking at Ning Que, her heartbeat quickened. There was nothing she could do; she still hadn't recovered from last night. If Ning Que continued to torment her, she wouldn't even be able to get out of bed.
She also considered taking a concubine for Ning Que because she knew that Ning Que's heart was always with her. As long as that was the case, she was actually content.
Watching Shen Qinghe run away, Ning Que smiled. He stood at the railing, gazing out over Panyu City. From a distance, he could spot Mu Ya, busy doing laundry. Mu Ya didn't have many tattoos, only visible on her arms. This was because tattoos were very important to the Yue people, and only the bravest of the tribe were eligible. While women could have tattoos, they were strictly prohibited from having too many.
Because of this, Ning Que found her more pleasing to the eye. If her entire body was covered in tattoos, he really couldn't accept it...
In fact, he knew everything Shen Qinghe said. Lingnan now had this idea, hoping to promote his union with Muya, so that they could trust each other more. Including the other warriors in the tribe, they would also be more convinced of him in the future!
Thinking of this, Ning Que immediately walked downstairs.
Since Muya also likes him, it’s better to be direct!
