Chapter 533 Erya’s Plan
"If only my father could kill all the Japanese pirates, then our voyages to the sea would be much smoother." Erya thought.
"You're still going out to sea! We haven't even figured out what's happening in Qiongzhou right now." Lu Qiniang said unhappily.
Everything is easier said than done.
All the problems before may have been overshadowed by the conflicts between the Li and Han peoples.
But when the two nationalities were no longer in opposition, the remaining problems began to surface.
One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people.
Whether it is the Han or the Li people, when it comes to specific people, there are all kinds of contradictions and conflicts of interest.
For example, although the Li and Han people have begun to share what they have, there are always some people who still look at others with the same old eyes.
The Li people have this, and the Han people have this too. The deep wariness towards each other is ingrained in their bones.
What Lu Qiniang needs to do now is to win over more people to understand and join the cooperation between Li and Han.
"What's so difficult about that?" Erya smiled. "Mom, this is what you're best at."
"My best skill? How come I don't know that?"
"Well, in the past, when there was a quarrel between a couple or a disagreement between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, or a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law, didn't the neighbors all come to you?"
Lu Qiniang is rooted in the grassroots, has a deep understanding of justice, and is convincing.
"That's different."
"There's no difference," Arya said. "When you go to mediate, you never lecture them or take sides. You sit down and listen to them pour out their grievances and suspicions. It's all the same."
Lu Qiniang often said before that everyone should be allowed to plan for themselves.
There are really too few people who can understand this.
"Mom, you're amazing." Erya spared no effort to praise Lu Qi's mother. "Look at my dad, he always goes out with a cold face, and -"
"Add what? Why don't you say anything?"
"After he killed those people from the trading company, others became even more afraid of him." Arya stuck out her tongue.
Lu Qiniang muttered, "The one who killed him wasn't a good person either. What's more, I didn't admit it!"
But after all, I still feel a little guilty.
Xiao Yan is a very considerate person.
There is no ambiguity in killing people.
The military supervisor sent by the emperor?
kill!
The fiancée arranged by the emperor?
kill!
A scoundrel?
kill!
The main character is ruthless and doesn't talk much.
"Look, there's only so much my dad can do. The rest depends on you." Arya said with a smile, "Didn't you notice that when those people come to see you, they have to wait until my dad is not around? Thanks to you, otherwise, no one would dare to pay attention to us if we went out."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Your father is a good person, but outsiders don't understand that." Lu Qinniang defended her.
"Okay, my dad is fine!" Erya agreed with a smile, then changed the subject, "By the way, Mom, we need everyone's help and brainstorm to see if there's anything we can ship out of Qiongzhou and exchange for money!"
It would be difficult to barter or develop trade relying solely on these people in Qiongzhou.
The most important thing is that everyone works together to make money outside.
In fact, Qiongzhou is rich in resources, and there is great potential for doing whatever you want.
Lu Qiniang supports her daughter's adventurous spirit.
"Mother doesn't understand these twists and turns. We'll do whatever you want, and I'll help you."
Her daughter was able to earn enough to buy a big ship at such a young age, so she didn't dare to give her blind instructions for fear of causing any mistakes.
Arya has her own plans.
She picked up a small trinket meticulously carved from a coconut shell, a gift from the Li people. "These Li handicrafts might not be worth much in Qiongzhou, but if they were shipped to major ports like Guangzhou and Quanzhou and sold to wealthy merchants who appreciate novelties, their value could multiply several fold. We could test the waters first and open up a few short, relatively safe trade routes..."
"With money, we can do more, build bigger and stronger ships, recruit better sailors and guards, and go out to sea."
Lu Qiniang smiled and said, "Then take me out to broaden my horizons later. I'm looking forward to enjoying life with you."
"That's right, just wait."
"That's right," Lu Qiniang teased her, "Do you have to find a husband on a ship in the future?"
"Oh, what do you need that thing for?" Erya waved her hand, indicating that she no longer cares about love.
What she said made Lu Qiniang worried again.
"Are you still thinking about Chang Hui?"
"No."
Erya really doesn't want to do that anymore.
It was really sad when it broke.
But it’s in the past, so I don’t think about it anymore.
"I don't miss anyone, because I've figured it out. Everyone has their own constraints. When two people are together, the constraints are even greater."
Erya thinks she is selfish and she can only consider her parents and family.
The other party also has to consider their parents and family and weigh the pros and cons.
When two people are together, there are so many things to consider.
No matter who she marries, she cannot escape the rules of taking care of her husband and children. It is better to be free and easy like now, with her parents loving and pampering her, giving her a free world.
Lu Qiniang didn't try to persuade her, "It's okay, you're still young, we can talk about it later."
People's ideas will change.
She was talking about herself.
After coming out, I saw a wider world and witnessed more human sufferings. I felt that life is really not easy.
So no matter how you live, just be happy.
As she was speaking, Lu Qiniang suddenly said, "That's not right. It's already so late, why haven't your father and Sanya come back yet?"
Although Qiongya Trading Company does not dare to confront them head-on now, it still exists.
So Lu Qiniang always felt that they would cause trouble.
"It's okay." Erya said, "Ah Huang and Xiaoshen went out with me. If there was anything, they would have come back to report it long ago."
"No, I have to go check the door."
Lu Qiniang couldn't sit still. As soon as she stood up, she heard the familiar sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
"He's back! It must be him from the sound!" Lu Qiniang felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.
But when the father and daughter came in, she realized that it was too early to relax.
