Chapter 188 Bewitching
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts, turned to look at the person sitting beside her, and sat up straight.
"Before I started gesturing, I said I had something I wanted to discuss with you. Now that we've had enough to eat and drink, and have some fun, how about we have a proper chat?"
Seeing the other person's serious expression, Miao Yue slowly put away the mixed emotions on her face.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Miao Yue, I'm not arguing with you now. It's just that the plan you made at the beginning of today was a bit unreasonable, wasn't it?
I heard that your clan practices monogamy, and there's no such thing as a concubine. If I'm not mistaken, are you planning to seduce the King of Qi first, and then squeeze me out as the King of Qi's consort? If I don't win over you, what will be my fate?"
Jiang Wan was an interesting person, he could turn his back on people without even recognizing them. He had just been singing and dancing with them, but now he was baring his fangs to settle scores.
Miao Yue felt guilty and kept silent, then gritted her teeth and nodded in acknowledgment.
"It's indeed my fault. You can say whatever you want. As long as it doesn't involve my people, I'm willing to accept the punishment!"
Just have this attitude. Jiang Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone softened.
"I don't mean to fight you to death. I understand your difficulties. I heard that there was not much rain last year, resulting in a significant reduction in the grain harvest.
As a possible young patriarch in the future, I can understand that you will try every possible way to seek benefits for the children.
But Miao Yue, I'm also the Princess of Qi in Dongling Prefecture. You're thinking about your people, so I can't help but think about my people. So, I want to discuss something with you.
If we can reach an agreement, we'll all be happy. If we can't reach an agreement, that's fine too. After all, I just said that everything that happened before can be written off, but from now on, you should know the rules, right?
Miao Yue looked at Jiang Wan and thought this woman had changed so quickly. She almost fell into a trap just now. She really thought she had bewitched her!
"I understand. Go ahead."
"Don't be so nervous. I'm talking about a win-win situation for both of us. You're desperately trying to get close to King Qi today. Have you seen the gifts we brought?"
"Yes."
Since the other party spoke so frankly, Miao Yue no longer hid anything.
"The salt and oil you brought are very good. We can't produce them here. I know what you want to do, but Princess Qi, my tribe was attacked by the Li people last year and many of our goods were stolen.
Although we managed to recapture it this year, we have already suffered significant damage. These food and medicinal herbs in our tribe are the key to whether we can survive this year, so we absolutely cannot give them to you!"
There was a little sadness in her eyes, but more of determination.
"My father sent someone to beg the King of Qi to come. Although your husband never works for free, if it were in the past, he would have given the food, but not now!
Maybe my thoughts are a little mean, but it is undeniable that I am the most beautiful woman in the entire clan, so I thought of using my body to pay off the debt. I never thought of squeezing you out, nor did I think of going back to Dayu with Li Chengxiu. "
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Jiang Wan understood. Miao Yue wanted to use her beauty to buy the boy's protection.
"There are many ways to exchange, not necessarily the way you think. Since you don't have food this year, it's okay to temporarily use other things as a substitute."
"What?"
Miao Yue asked cautiously, and Jiang Wan smiled kindly.
"For example, your clan's Baibao Dan (Baibao Pill) is said to be very effective in stopping bleeding. Have you ever thought about producing it on a large scale and selling it?"
"impossible!!"
Miao Yue stood up suddenly, looking at Jiang Wan with anger mixed with a hint of grievance and sadness.
"That's a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation in our clan. I will never give it to you! Jiang Wan, I really want to be your friend. You, you should not scheme against me like this..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Wan looked up at her and waved for her to sit down.
"I told you I was discussing this, why are you reacting so strongly? Besides, did you not understand me? I told you to mass-produce and sell it, I didn't ask for your recipe!"
"What difference does it make?"
"It's a big difference, okay? Sit down quickly, everyone is looking at you, just listen to me and I'll explain it to you."
After calming down the jumping person, Jiang Wan once again used his language talent to break down the matter into pieces.
"I've already looked at your Baibao Pill. It contains a large amount of Panax notoginseng, right? Don't interrupt me now, just listen to me."
They reached out and grabbed each other's arms, acting like good sisters, and were frank and sincere as if they were saying, "I'm doing this all for your own good."
"Miao Yue, look at the land you occupy. It's actually quite good. Although it's not very large, the unique geographical location allows you to harvest three crops in one season.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to take your territory. I'm not that kind of person. But I just want to remind you that although we in Dayu abide by the rules, are Dali and Linyue also willing to do so?
And then again, if the area is small and you can't grow much medicinal herbs if you grow crops, then that's not enough.
Another thing is, you know how many of your tribesmen are capable of fighting, right?
So, why don’t we cooperate.”
Raising his hand and pointing in the direction of Dongling Mansion, Jiang Wan's voice carried an inexplicable alluring power in the dim night.
“There are more mountains and forests than good farmland where I live, so I can’t grow much decent food, but I can grow decent medicinal herbs.
It just so happens that there's someone skilled in growing herbs in your tribe. Why not come to me and teach my people how to grow them? I'll bring the herbs over and trade them for food. You can make them into Baibao Pills and bring them back to me to trade for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, or anything else you desire.
Think about it carefully, is this a win-win situation?
And the most important point, future young patriarch, is that our interests are closely linked. If you encounter problems again, I will definitely not sit idly by.
How can the bond of love between a man and a woman be stronger than the bond of interests? What do you think?
Every word she spoke was like the temptation of an evil god whispering in her ears. Miao Yue had to admit that she was moved by the scene she described.
Although they had only spent a short time together, Miao Yue already knew that Jiang Wan was an extremely intelligent person. She must have been confident in what she said.
and…
"Will you support me?"
"certainly."
The smile on Jiang Wan's lips finally showed a satisfied arc.
"You don't have so many ideas about male superiority and female inferiority here. The position of clan leader should naturally be held by the most capable. From my careful observation just now, you are obviously more suitable to be the young clan leader than your elder brother!"
