Seeing Li Baozhu's tense expression, Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this princess won't take your secret recipe."
"We need you to provide finished snake repellent and snake venom medication."
Xie Yuan is not secretive; she is happy to share her knowledge and skills with others.
This is because the knowledge she possesses is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people.
She was simply "taking from the people and using it for the people."
The snake medicine recipe of the Li tribe belongs to an individual and has independent and complete intellectual property rights.
Xie Yuan respected him greatly and would never take advantage of his power or exploit his vulnerability to seize or plunder.
She simply hoped to buy genuine, high-quality medicine from Li Baozhu.
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Li Baozhu felt half relieved.
She looked at Helian Jue; this was the King of Yue.
Only after he expressed his opinion could Li Baozhu be completely at ease.
"What the princess says is my will!"
Although Helian Jue wanted the secret recipe, he trusted and respected his queen more.
As long as the princess speaks up, let alone just a snake medicine recipe, Helian Jue wouldn't care too much about the entire Li tribe!
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Baozhu was relieved, and through this small detail, she also learned about the position of the Princess Consort in the heart of the King of Yue.
【That's strange, isn't it said that the Hakka people are male-dominated and female-subordinate?】
I've heard that women mostly only care about domestic matters, and men don't allow women to show their faces in public.
Unlike our Li people, daughters are more respected.
[To me, this Queen Consort of Yue doesn't seem like an ordinary Hakka woman at all; she seems more like the queen of our Li people.]
Li Baozhu muttered to herself.
The previous chief of the Li tribe, who was also Li Baozhu's biological father, was a man.
However, this does not mean that the Li tribe was led by men.
In fact, several of the previous tribal chiefs, like the neighboring Wuyuan tribe, were also queens.
However, by the time it came to my grandmother's generation, she had several sons in a row, but no daughters.
In the end, Grandmother had no choice but to pass the position of tribal chief to Father.
By the time it came to Li Baozhu's generation, she had many brothers and sisters.
Father did not deliberately choose a son or daughter as his successor; his intention was "the capable should inherit."
Among her many siblings, her second sister was exceptionally outstanding, and her father had already begun to groom her as a "young leader."
pity--
Thinking of her second sister, Li Baozhu thought of her brothers and sisters who might have already died tragically.
Li Baozhu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please rest assured, as long as I reclaim the Li tribe, our Li tribe will regularly offer snake medicine, snake venom, and other items as tribute to the Royal Palace."
Li Baozhu finally understood that reclaiming the Li tribe was the most important thing.
Everything else is negotiable!
"Okay! It's settled then!"
Xie Yuan smiled and responded, then turned to Helian Jue: "Your Highness, it's almost time. I'll have the estate prepare more alcohol and medicine, and then we can set off."
"Yes! I knew it. My A-Yuan is the most thoughtful and reliable."
Helian Jue trusted Xie Yuan very much. When he went on campaigns, he could entrust Xie Yuan with the logistics and supplies of the army, as well as the entire palace.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Princess, when can we send out troops?"
When Xie Yuan finally said he wanted to "set off," Li Baozhu was overjoyed.
She exclaimed excitedly, "I... I can lead the way!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take you with me!"
Helian Jue and Xie Yuan exchanged a glance, then Helian Jue turned to Li Baozhu and said in a low voice.
Of course he had to bring Li Baozhu with him; she was a living map.
Moreover, there are too many dangers in the jungle.
Without someone familiar with the area to guide them, soldiers could suffer unnecessary casualties.
...
They said they were going to set off, but in reality, the troops didn't actually leave until two days later.
On the morning of the third day, Helian Jue led three thousand soldiers and quietly left Crescent Moon New City, heading straight for the depths of the mountains on the northwest side of He County.
Xie Yuan stood on the city wall of Crescent Moon City, facing the morning glow, watching the large group of people depart into the distance.
As the sun rose higher and the sky became fully bright, the last few figures disappeared from Xie Yuan's sight.
"Alright, let's go back."
Helian Jue is going to conquer the country, and Xie Yuan will also be busy with that.
In addition to overseeing the Prince's Palace and the two new cities, Xie Yuan also had to supervise the construction of the bridge.
"Hmph, you just did a little thing and you think you're some kind of omnipotent god?"
In the back office of the He County government, Cui complained to Xie Ze with a face full of envy and jealousy.
"Build a bridge? A bridge over the sea? Ha, who does she think she is?"
"In my opinion, she's been flattered for so long that she's forgotten her own place."
There were two reasons why Cui scolded Xie Yuan like this.
Firstly, it was naturally out of envy and jealousy; in just two years, her and Xie Yuan's situations had reversed.
Once a powerful matriarch of the Xie family who could control the fate of Xie Yuan and Xie Zhen, Cui Shi has now become a lowly official's wife under Xie Yuan's husband.
Madam Cui wouldn't even think of provoking Xie Yuan; she'd rather hide in the back office of the county government, fearing that encountering Xie Yuan would remind this esteemed Princess Xie of the past and lead to her revenge.
How could Cui not hate Xie Yuan?
Secondly, Cui regretted it. She felt that she shouldn't have given up such a good marriage opportunity with Helian Jue to Xie Yuan.
Yes, Lingnan was indeed a wild and undeveloped place.
Even the most dilapidated place can become a local tyrant if the power is great enough.
