Chapter 843: Buying a City with Rich Wealth
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Nuan frowned and asked, "Are you talking about the child?"
"Don't worry, I can handle it myself. Do you want to go out?"
Ling Yun opened his mouth, but in the end he just smiled miserably, "I want to go out."
Su Nuan glanced at Ling Yun. There was no expression on his face, and his scattered hair covered half of his face, making him look a little crazy.
"Oh, just go out. Why are you so indifferent?"
After she finished speaking, she took Ling Yun out of the space.
Su Nuan didn't stop and wanted to find Ling Cang to discuss something.
Ling Yun looked up at the sky. Su Liren was right. He had nothing and was not worthy of Su Nuan at all.
So does that mean as long as you have status and rights, you are eligible to queue?
Thinking of this, he walked with heavy feet. Every step felt like a thousand-pound weight was hanging on his legs, and it was extremely difficult.
At this moment, Su Nuan found Ling Cang first.
Ling Cang put down the booklet and looked up at Su Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, you don't look well, are you tired?"
Su Nuan shook her head and did not hide her physical condition. "I'm pregnant, but I don't know who the father is."
Ling Cang, “…”
His expression changed, but soon returned to normal. "Are you going to keep this child?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, since he's pregnant, I definitely want him, unless he has developmental problems."
Ling Cang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Then give birth to the child. If you are worried that the child will be fatherless and cause gossip, I will be his father."
Su Nuan laughed, "You two brothers are really interesting, both wanting to be the father."
Ling Cang was stunned. "Have you told Xiaoyun?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I didn't say it directly. I told Hai Lan, and he heard it. He came up and said the child was his. I don't even know who the father is, so I can't let him become the father for no reason."
"I know you're good to me, but this is no small matter. After all, what man can stand being a father?"
Ling Cang asked blankly, "Happy to be a father? Isn't it good to be a father happily?"
Su Nuan choked and didn't want to explain, so she changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about this. I have already rejected Ling Yun, and I don't plan to find out the truth."
"I just want to ask what you think about Yuanguo sending troops to us?"
Ling Cang smiled and said, "It will take a long time for them to get here. I want to strengthen the defense of the north first, and then unite with the surrounding cities to destroy them."
"By the way, do you think we should establish a country directly or continue with the status quo?"
Su Nuan said without hesitation: "Of course it's to establish a country. If you have the energy, just swallow up Yuan Kingdom. By the way, have you built something like a treasury here?"
Ling Cang shook his head. "No, but somewhere, a basement from an unknown period was dug out. There's no coffin inside, so it might be an abandoned tomb."
"If you want to put something there, that's a better place. The entrance to the secret passage is in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion."
Su Nuan's eyes lit up, "Let's go and take a look."
Ling Cang stood up and took Su Nuan to the back of the City Lord's Mansion. The entrance to the secret passage was now only covered by a woodshed and no one was guarding it.
Su Nuan walked down the stairs with a flashlight. She touched the bricks on the wall and said, "This is the same brick as the one in the secret room under the city. It should have been built in the previous dynasty."
"I remember there was an ancient country here before. That would be a good location for Kyoto."
Ling Cang followed behind and said, "That's right, we can just treat this place as the capital. It's just that it's close to three countries, and we're worried that those three countries will send troops here."
Su Nuan touched his chin and smiled, "That's not a big problem. I'll give you money, and you can buy the nearby cities and mountains. Once you build fortifications, you won't have to worry."
"Actually, there is an advantage. It will make trade more convenient in the future. We can transfer the goods of the three kingdoms from the capital to other places, and then the capital will become richer and richer."
Ling Cang laughed, "Okay, but this is not a small amount of money."
At this moment, he just felt that Su Nuan was bragging. Buying a city in another country is not a matter of how much money you have.
Although there are many countries in the world, and some countries are even composed of only three or four small cities, once they are called countries, they will develop into major events involving changes in national borders.
For example, Yuan State was not a particularly large country and its cities were scattered, but even though it was close to the Three Kingdoms, it did not dare to rashly occupy the north.
No matter how Ling Cang thought about it, he felt that it was unreliable, but he didn't say it out loud. Maybe Su Nuan would give up when she realized that buying and selling cities was not going well.
Just as Ling Cang was daydreaming, Su Nuan had already arrived at the main house in the basement.
Su Nuan took a look and took out all the things he had collected from Yuan Kingdom, and also took out some gold, silver, copper, iron,
"You can use these as you see fit."
Ling Cang was dumbfounded. Although this basement was not particularly large, it was comparable to the national treasury. Su Nuan had actually filled it with gold, silver and treasures.
Seeing Ling Cang remain silent, Su Nuan asked tentatively, "Isn't that enough?"
Ling Cang quickly shook his head, "No, where did you get so much money?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "These are all collected. I can only give you this much. I want to keep the rest for raising my children."
Ling Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. This was already a lot. Even the treasury of Yuan Kingdom during its heyday was not half of this.
He asked, "Do you have enough money left? Take some back. We can't use it."
"Once the country is stable and tax revenues increase, we won't be short of money."
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, I'll keep enough for my spending."
She turned and walked out, then stopped after a few steps and said, "I still have dragons and dragon balls here. Should we build a dragon vein?"
"It seems like every country has its own dragon vein. Where do you think we should place our country's dragon vein?"
Ling Cang thought for a moment and said, "Instead of hiding it, it's better to put it out in the open. If it breaks, we can find it in time and repair it."
Su Nuan touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "You're right. If it's kept in a hidden place, it can't be seen. If it's stolen or damaged, we won't know."
"It's better to put it out in the open. If someone tries to sabotage it, we can find it and repair it in time. That way, there won't be any chance of ruining the country's destiny."
Ling Cang nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think the cliff side is suitable."
Su Nuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll put it on the cliff, so that you can see it when you look up."
After saying that, Su Nuan trotted away.
Ling Cang opened his mouth, but in the end no sound came out.
He sighed, "Why not let Nuannuan be the empress? That way she can have as many children as she wants and no one will dare to say no."
"Who is giving birth to the baby?" Ye Wushang stood slowly at the door of the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ling Cang saw him, frowned and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Ye Wushang smiled and said, "I'm here to borrow a few men and some crossbows from you. I'm going to assassinate a few people."
Ling Cang was silent for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, how many people do you need, and how many sets of hidden arrows do you need?"
