Chapter 275 The Eastern Barbarians Have Mines



Did they die from cannibalism? People who had just eaten meat felt nauseous. Looking at the delicious-looking meat dishes in front of them, they couldn't help but close their eyes. They would probably have to eat vegetarian food for the next few days!

Yue Fuguang stroked her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Wu Yong's physique is only a matter of one or two slimming pills. However..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong instinctively clutched his own flesh, while his father, Wu Yuanjing, gripped his chopsticks even tighter.

*Snap!* The chopstick broke!

He also overheard Yue Fuguang's next words, "However, I'm afraid Wu Yong won't be willing to lose weight. After all, he earned all that weight through his own hard work, so why should he lose it?"

[Of course, it's to save his life! Does the master think Wu Chengye got rid of Wu Yong back then? He fattened him up and slaughtered him like a pig!]

They fattened them up and then slaughtered them like pigs!

Wu Yong was only trembling slightly in fright, but Wu Yuanjing, the old father, was shaking so badly that he developed Parkinson's disease, with tears welling up in his eyes, ready to cry!

Yue Fuguang considers herself to be heartless, but she just can't stand seeing people cry. The reason she impulsively went into the water to save someone was because of tears!

Seeing that Wu Yuanjing, who was quite old, was about to cry, she quickly said, "That's all in the past. Now that I'm here, he can't possibly get fat to death even if he wants to."

I remember Wu Yong's birthday is at the end of the month? I'll just give him a few slimming pills then; it's a small matter, not worth mentioning.

Little Pearl, you've gone off on a tangent again. Let's get back to the Sima family.

The system, accused of being out of touch, looked aggrieved and wrinkled. It felt wronged, but it endured it!

Actually, it was Sima Jing. Eighteen years ago, Princess Meizi of the Eastern Yi Kingdom, as part of the second batch of royal family members to carry out their king's plan, came to the capital with the delegation.

Meizi lived up to her name. Except for being a little short, she was born with a rare and charming beauty because her parents were not close relatives.

In fact, Meizi's first love was Emperor Mingxi, who was then the crown prince.

Emperor Mingxi: Why did you have to drag me into this when we were just enjoying the show?

Am I some kind of despicable person?

The emperor was furious. "I do not discriminate against women, but not against women from the Eastern Barbarians!"

Emperor Mingxi thought the women of the Eastern Barbarians were no good, but Yue Fuguang clearly didn't think so, and continued to disgust him, saying, "So our Emperor has become the concubine of the beautiful Princess?"

Emperor Mingxi gripped the Empress's hand tightly, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Yue Fuguang. His entire being screamed rejection: "I didn't! I didn't! Don't slander me!"

No, Sima Jing intercepted her halfway through. Sima Jing was tall and strong, but he preferred petite and delicate women.

The beautiful princess was exactly his type, so he snatched her away from his good friend.

"So, from such a young age, this cousin and study companion who claimed to share weal and woe with the emperor had already started competing with him for things?"

First steal his brother's women, then his brother's empire—what a clever tactic!

A faint smile played on Yue Fuguang's lips as she desperately tried to stab Emperor Mingxi in the heart on this joyous day.

The actions of the emperor and his officials in the Dayan Dynasty are far too slow. If the Sima family doesn't hurry up and close the net, it will affect her subsequent mission!

Later, after Meizi returned to her country, she gave birth to a healthy boy for Sima Jing, named Da Dao. This boy was the older brother of the three princesses.

They are all Meizi's daughters.

"So, it seems Wei Ping and the others are indeed related to Sima Jing. Did Sima Jing know he had a son living in exile?"

Wei Ping: Junior Tutor, could you please not call on me by name only at this time?

Are Tsai Hsien and Huo Ying unworthy of being mentioned here?

Moonlight: Their names are too hot to handle!

Of course I know that his deep cooperation with the Dongyi was due to the matchmaking of that mother and son.

Oshima and Matsuyama were cousins. Oshima later inherited the throne five years after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"His father, Sima Jing, and his brother, Sima Ying, supported his ascension to the throne? How did the original king of the Eastern Yi die?"

[Naturally, it was the Sima family who joined forces with the Meizi faction. By the way, Xu Qian's daughter in Dongyi was one of the many concubines on the island.]

Zhang Tingji's son, Gong Chang, would become a famous pirate leader along the coast a few years later, known as the "King of the Sea."

He was also the Sima family's most important overseas partner. In the last few years of Dayan, the Sima family and Gongchang joined forces to rob merchant ships in the waters near Dayan.

While making a fortune for themselves, they also severely damaged Dayan's maritime and land-based trade, directly leading to a decline in the imperial court's tax revenue.

"The Sima family is ruthless in undermining the Dayan dynasty! Being an emperor is a high-risk profession; one after another, they are either poisoned or killed."

Tell me, of these six emperors, was any one of them alive and died of old age?

Emperor Mingxi: That's heartbreaking, Grand Tutor! (Clutching his heart and spitting blood - JPG)

However, knowing that their colleagues also met a terrible end, he was relieved!

Uh... well... how about we talk about it later?

I'll restore the data later!

The system quickly changed the subject, dropping a bombshell: "Master, Little Bead forgot to tell you. The reason the Sima family wants to support the island's rise to power..."

It was also because his family and Gong Chang discovered the gold and silver mines on the islands and reefs near Dongyi.

The Sima family first used the Dongyi people to completely wipe out Gongchang, and then instigated internal strife among the Dongyi, resulting in the king's death from a hail of arrows.

The large island was elevated, and silver mining began.

Silver mine? The eyes of the Emperor and his ministers of the Great Yan Kingdom suddenly lit up with an alarming light, their eyes sparkling with gold and silver stars.

If it weren't for the teacup blocking the view, I probably would have drooled on the floor.

However, after their initial excitement, everyone quickly calmed down. They knew a fair amount about the Dongyi people and seemed to have never heard of any island or reef called Jinshan in Dongyi!

Could it be an unnamed island that was later named after the Sima family discovered the silver mine?

Emperor Mingxi and his ministers couldn't help but steal glances at the moonlight, praying in their hearts that their ancestors could say a little more.

Could the moonlight truly fulfill their desires? Obviously not.

The Great Expansion is not yet capable of mining, so knowing too much and aiming too high is meaningless. It would be better to accumulate resources, strengthen ourselves, and then take over the Eastern Yi as soon as possible.

The gold and silver mines were the carrot she dangled in front of the donkey's head in Dayan.

I believe they will take the initiative in pursuit of the enormous wealth from the gold and silver mines!

To emphasize the importance of the carrot, Yue Fuguang continued, "The Sima family already had silver mines, yet their kingdom fell so quickly? Were their silver reserves insufficient?"

With current technology, the silver mine reserves are enough to last for one or two hundred years. The Sima family's downfall was not due to a lack of money, but rather because they were too wealthy.

His family had only been mining the silver mine for a little over a decade when it changed hands.

However, because the Shen family replaced the Sima family, the Shen family dynasty was the worst period in terms of relations with the Dongyi Kingdom during the three hundred years of chaos.

They didn't get a share of the silver mines, but the Dongyi people used this opportunity to develop.

With its army strong and well-equipped, the Eastern Yi quickly transformed into a powerful nation, becoming a major threat to later dynasties such as the Tong and Murong families.

After the Crown Prince's wedding, as the delegations from various countries gradually left the capital, the news that the Eastern Barbarians owned mines was still causing a stir in the court.
