After listening to Shan Yi's explanation, Yue Jiang had finished reviewing the dowry list regarding weapons.
In fact, the Yue Kingdom could have simply sent gold and silver, but they still included a considerable amount of weapons in her dowry.
However, the Yue Kingdom certainly didn't want Yue Jiang to marry into the An Kingdom with just fifty carts of weapons and start a rebellion. Instead, they wanted half of Yue Jiang's dowry to be given to the An Kingdom's treasury.
Now everything has changed. Yue Jiang has married into the Jing Kingdom, and the Jing Kingdom has not sent any envoys to the Yue Kingdom to discuss any matters.
Therefore, these items brought under the guise of Yue Jiang's dowry became her private property, and she didn't have to generously give half of them to Jing Guo.
Since Yue Jiang has the authority to handle these matters, she can conveniently choose some items to do favors for others.
A fine spear can cost tens of taels of silver. The weapon that Jingyi mentioned that Cheng Suyun couldn't produce was one that could enhance the military strength of the Jing Kingdom.
Yue Jiang carefully considered the distribution of the goods: "The farming tools will be distributed to the people from Yue Kingdom for cultivating fertile land. After all, they have followed me to make peace with Jing Kingdom, and in the future they will take root and multiply on Jing Kingdom's land. We can't let them suffer losses."
"General Shan, what kind of weapons are you using now...?"
Dan Yi immediately unfastened his sword from his waist and presented it to Yue Jiang for inspection: "Since I am your personal bodyguard, Your Highness has made an exception and allowed me to carry my own weapon."
"However, the soldiers were using the weapons distributed by the Jing Kingdom. People from different countries have different body sizes, and their weapons also vary in length and weight. The Yue Kingdom's weapons are lighter, so it is a bit difficult for them to use the Jing Kingdom's weapons."
"They are currently working hard to adapt."
Yue Jiang hesitated, "Then what about these fifty cartloads of weapons...?"
Dan Yi quickly understood Yue Jiang's meaning. As the commander-in-chief on the road to the marriage alliance, he was in charge of all weapons and equipment.
The items were transported out of the Moon Kingdom, and Shan Yi understood what they were for.
They were supposed to be sent to Anguo, but now that the Crown Princess has lost her memory, everything is already set in stone.
Dan Yi did not intend to mention Anguo, and since the soldiers of Jingguo and Anguo were not much different in height and build, he cupped his hands in greeting.
“Your Highness, these fifty carts of weapons are a dowry that the King sent to you as a gift to the Jing Kingdom for your marriage alliance. They are heavier than the weapons commonly used by the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom. It is a small gift that the King sent to the Jing Kingdom out of consideration for your face.”
"I think that if it were handed over to the soldiers of Jing Kingdom, it would be more effective than if it were handed over to the soldiers of Yue Kingdom."
"So that's what my uncle the emperor wanted to do. Of course I have to listen to him," Yue Jiang realized with a sense of understanding.
Dan Yi was unaware of her feigned amnesia, so she always guided her step by step before taking any action.
Originally, Yue Jiang was worried that the other party was too straightforward and wouldn't understand her intentions, but she didn't expect Shan Yi to be happy about it.
He even explained the size and weight of the weapons to me, probably because he had received some orders before coming.
In terms of strength, they are using roughly the same weapons, so the disparity in strength between the soldiers of Anguo and Jingguo should not be too great, which is a relatively good situation.
Immediately, Yue Jiang handed the weapons list to Shan Yi and gave him instructions.
"General Shan, in that case, I'll trouble you to make the trip. Now that I've married into the Jing Kingdom, I naturally want the Jing Kingdom to prosper, so that I can have the strength to help my motherland in the future."
The fewer people who know Yue Jiang's true identity, the better. Therefore, Shan Yi did not know Yue Jiang's true background and only thought of her as a princess chosen by the royal family.
Hearing Yue Jiang speak so sincerely and still remember her motherland, he felt even more admiration for her.
Dan Yi took the list and promised, "Your Highness is too kind. I will do my best to complete the task you have entrusted to me."
"Oh, by the way, could you please bring a small gift for His Highness for me?" Yue Jiang suddenly remembered something. She got up, walked to the dressing table, and took out a box containing two dark blue sachets.
"There are many mosquitoes in the mountains. When you see His Highness, tell him to make sure he wears it properly and not let any poisonous insects or mosquitoes bite him."
Dan Yi took it again.
After everything was settled, Yue Jiang dismissed Shan Yi.
Following closely behind, Granny Ye and Qingke brought in tea and snacks. Qingke poured a cup of tea and handed it to them.
"Your Highness, I believe His Highness has already shown you true love. Is there still a need for you to be so cautious?"
Yue Jiang wasn't thirsty, so she put the tea aside, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Granny Ye with a smile, asking her a question.
"Granny, do you think what I'm doing is unnecessary?"
Granny Ye smiled and pondered, "Being overly cautious is an overstatement, but isn't a marriage about managing things little by little?"
"It's true that youthful love is precious, but impulsive affection can be worn down by time, leaving only two no-longer-young people and a lot of arguments and quarrels."
"Our Crown Princess will be in Jing Kingdom for a long time, and she will have children in the future. In the near future, Jing Kingdom will belong to His Highness and the Crown Princess, and their descendants will all bear the mark of this land."
"Sincerity alone is not enough; there must also be mutual support, tacit understanding, and the good name of our Crown Princess in the history books of Jing Kingdom. The Crown Princess is merely accumulating these in His Highness's heart."
Yue Jiang originally wanted Granny Ye to tell Qing Ke that everything she had done was not meaningless, but Granny Ye went on and on explaining a whole bunch of things.
She herself was a little embarrassed: "Granny, you're praising me too much."
“Isn’t that right? Crown Princess, Qingke is young, but don’t try to fool me,” Granny Ye said, seeing through her.
"It's for Your Highness, but it's mostly for myself," Yue Jiang could feel Jing Yan's sincerity towards her, but having grown up in the Yue Kingdom where emotions were used as bargaining chips, it was difficult for her to be completely moved by Jing Yan's sincerity.
What she needs most is a safe and peaceful environment, and someone to tell her that her life will be stable and comfortable here.
