Great Tang princess

Chapter 429 The Princess' Plan

One dolphin slipped through the water circle, and the others followed suit.

Dolphins have a high IQ. After trying a few times, they have basically learned to spray water circles, spraying water circles to each other and drilling around.

Li Yuechen looked at the sea above his head, then continued to sink a little, and then started playing with a group of dolphins.

She has great strength, and her stamina is far beyond that of ordinary humans. Between the slight swings of her two long legs, the flippers drive the water and push her body forward.

A group of dolphins surrounded her and swam around together, and both parties had a great time.

A few sharks not far away passed by with cold eyes, and their strong curiosity made them gradually approach, wanting to see what kind of strange creature this is.

But a group of dolphins around seemed to have regarded Li Yuechen as a friend, and when they saw those sharks approaching, they immediately put on a look of vigilance and confronted each other.

Li Yuechen didn't care too much, and waved his hands at the sharks, expressing that he didn't mean any harm.

In fact, most of the reasons why sharks actively attack humans is because their territory has been invaded, and they only make choices after warnings are fruitless.

Again, in the eyes of wild animals, the threat level is generally judged based on the size of the opponent.

Adult human beings are at the same level as many sharks. In their eyes, they are also very threatening opponents, so they will not attack unless it is absolutely necessary.

Sharks, like cats, are highly curious creatures that are almost neurotic. When they see humans, they will also be curious and want to come over to have a look.

But with these dolphins nearby, they can't get close.

From the beginning of entering the water to the present, Li Yuechen has not even changed his breath, and the oxygen bag behind him is still bulging, and there is no sign of air leakage, which shows that the craftsmanship of these academicians is quite good.

She raised her hand to press the ventilation port, first took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

Immediately, a series of tiny air bubbles slowly emerged from both sides of the breathing head, and quickly floated towards the sea surface.

Seeing this scene, a group of dolphins nearby also spit out a series of tiny bubbles, imitating her behavior, and started playing on their own.

Perhaps it was because her behavior made them completely let go of their vigilance, so they got closer to him one by one.

One of the dolphins actually came to her slowly and approached slowly.

Li Yuechen stretched out his hand, and slowly put it on its forehead, feeling its smooth skin passing by his hand, and smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she touched a dolphin in the memory of her two lifetimes, and this feeling was really worth remembering firmly.

Now Li Yuechen is like a mermaid, swimming around a group of dolphins, fighting with each other, as if there is no obstacle between them.

A dolphin even dared to come to her side, kissed her gently on the cheek, and then turned around and left quickly.

She couldn't help but smile a little, the magic of nature really can't be explained with words.

……

Because Li Yuechen can hold his breath for a long time, and with an oxygen bag, after staying underwater for nearly half an hour, he felt that the oxygen bag on his back was completely empty before slowly coming up.

As soon as the head surfaced, Xiao He's voice sounded from the deck: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"No problem!" Li Yuechen raised his hand and waved it, and then planned to climb onto the boat along the rope ladder.

At this time, the group of dolphins just now also ran to the surface of the sea to take a breath. Seeing that she was about to board the boat, they all surrounded her and shouted.

The sound of dolphins is actually very soft, a bit like a strange sound.

Li Yuechen reached out and touched their foreheads one by one, then lifted the swimming goggles and put them on their heads, revealing his own face.

"Okay, you guys go back." Li Yuechen waved his hands at them, "I will tell humans not to hurt you as much as possible, but you'd better not have too much trust in humans. In the future, try not to be like this."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and quickly climbed up the fence along the rope ladder, turned over and jumped onto the deck.

Xiao He came over and covered her with a woolen bath towel, with a worried expression on her face: "Your Highness has been away for so long, I am very worried."

But Wang Wuqiong on the side had a calm expression: "I've said it all, His Highness will definitely be fine!"

In fact, apart from Xiao He, Wang Wuqiong and a group of female soldiers were not very worried about this problem.

In the army, Li Yuechen's personality cult is too exaggerated, because of her various achievements and legends, in the eyes of the people below, she is omnipotent, so they have absolute trust in her.

Li Yuechen asked while wiping his body: "Did someone go fishing just now?"

"Return to Your Highness, yes, I have caught a lot!" Wang Wuqiong was a little complacent, it seems that today's record is good.

"Go and get some." Li Yuechen waved.

Wang Wuqiong didn't ask why, and immediately asked the female soldier next to her to bring a wooden barrel with a dozen fish in it after she agreed.

Li Yuechen took a look and saw that the dolphins were still swimming around the side of the boat, jumping out of the water and swinging their bodies from time to time, and then fell down again...

Wang Wuqiong next to him immediately raised his crossbow: "Your Highness..."

"Go away!" Li Yuechen immediately stopped her next words, waved his hands and said, "This thing is called a dolphin, don't shoot it if you see it in the future... By the way, there is also a black and white whale. Don't shoot it if it's nearly three feet in size!"

"Yes!" Wang Wuqiong agreed without asking why.

Then Li Yuechen threw the bath towel to her, picked up the wooden bucket, and threw down the dozen or so fish in it: "Okay, let's go back after eating!"

As she said that, she waved her hand slightly, and then she began to put on her clothes: "Okay, let's go back. This time, the equipment is good, and it can be mass-produced by the engineering institute."

"Yes!"

……

After Li Yuechen got dressed, Lao Sun and the others in the cabin were released, and they controlled the boat to gradually go back.

At the same time, several smarter female soldiers have already started to study, and they don't need to take them with them when they go to sea in the future. It will be no problem whether they wear bikinis or take off their clothes on the boat.

After the ship docked, Li Yuechen went directly to the Academy of Engineering without saying a word, and gave orders to the academicians.

There is no problem with this batch of equipment. They need to mass-produce them while minimizing costs.

The academician replied with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, everything else is easy to talk about, but this cowhide..."

"No problem, when the breeding farm is built in the future, the cowhide will definitely be the first to supply you and others for use." Li Yuechen replied.

With these words, the academician was relieved, and a smile appeared on his embarrassed face again: "Yes!"

When he left the Engineering Academy, Li Yuechen's hair wasn't completely dry yet.

Just about to go to roast, Xiao He came over: "Your Highness, Governor Jiang is asking to see you."

"Huh? Tell him to go to the office and wait for me."

"Yes!"

Li Yuechen was a little curious, shouldn't Jiang Zhengan be watching the salt shop in Qingzhou at this time?What are you doing here?
After going back and changing clothes, he tied his still damp hair and came to the office.

At this time, Jiang Zhengan was sitting on a chair drinking tea, when he saw Li Yuechen coming in, he quickly got up and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Free gift!"

Li Yuechen came to his boss chair and sat down, brought the braid to the front, hanging down from the right chest, then leaned on the back of the chair and asked: "Jiang Shi came over suddenly, but do you have something to say?"

Such a posture made Jiang Zhengan feel a little excited. The majestic princess of a country can make such a relaxed posture in front of him, which shows that there is no way to be an outsider. It seems that this thigh is hugged by herself.

"Return to Your Highness, the reason why I came here this time is because..."

He reported everything about Qingzhou in detail, and after he finished speaking, he sat on a chair and waited for a reply, taking a sip from the teacup in his hand from time to time.

I have to say that the princess's tea is delicious, with a light and lingering taste, and it's easy to brew without any messy seasonings.

This kind of tea is very expensive in Dongdu now, and there are basically only about half of it in China, which is not available to ordinary people.

The other half was taken away by foreign merchants waving gold coins, and the other half was transported by domestic merchants to Turkic and Tubo for trade.

A lot of ores from Tubo and Turkic cattle, sheep and horses have been exchanged for a lot, and they have entered the domestic market, making the domestic economy much more developed than before.

If only I could find a way to get some tea like this...

Li Yuechen ignored Jiang Zhengan's careful thinking, but nodded slightly: "Oh, people die for money, being too greedy for money is not a good thing!"

Since ancient times, salt has been a royal franchise. Now that refined salt is released, these people dare to play this kind of operation, and they really don't take her seriously.

Li Yuechen's purpose in making refined salt is to make salt affordable for the people all over the country. If these people buy it and maliciously raise the price to smuggle it, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

There should be no problem with an old mother in Dongdu, but in Shandong, I can leave it to myself.

Hearing the princess's words, Jiang Zhengan thought for a while, and couldn't help but asked with some worry: "But the princess is a member of the army after all, so if you do it directly, will you..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something, shut his mouth immediately, raised his hand and slapped himself on the face: "You officials talk too much!"

Li Yuechen raised his head and glanced at him, then smiled slightly: "Jiang Cishi is one of his own, so there is no need to be like this!"

Hearing her talking about her, Jiang Zhengan couldn't help but almost laughed out loud, suppressing the excitement in his heart and nodding: "Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!"

"It's not unreasonable for you to be worried. If I do something, I won't look very good." Li Yuechen nodded slightly.

The main reason is that it is really not a violation of the rules for people to send their servants to buy more salt. In this era, the national law stipulates that slaves and maidservants are "laws and livestock!"

Slaves are not considered as "human beings", but like "dogs", they belong to the owner's property.

This is why dog ​​stealing can only be regarded as "theft" rather than "abduction and trafficking" in the law more than a thousand years later.

In this era, slaves are in such a position.

Jiang Zheng'an nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Then I don't know how His Highness plans to deal with it? You need to step down..."

Li Yuechen shook his head: "It's getting late, Jiang Cishi will stay here tonight, and tomorrow morning, I will return to Qingzhou with you!"

This time, Jiang Zhengan didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

……

After dinner in the evening, Li Yuechen wrote a letter after the sun went down for the first time in his life.

Of course, before writing, she lit candles almost all over the table, and the brightness was not much worse than during the day.

After finishing writing, Li Yuechen handed the envelope to Wang Wuqiong: "Send someone back to Dongdu, to the Commander of the Dark Guard, and hurry up within four hundred miles!"

"Yes!" Wang Wuqiong agreed, and immediately went out to make arrangements.

Of course, Li Yuechen is not stupid. Although she doesn't care much about her reputation, if there is any trouble in handling this kind of matter, it may cause a rebellion.

Especially in Shandong, where there are so many veteran nobles, their social influence is unbelievably high.

Although it is said that the current royal family is not afraid of rebellion at all, but in any case, domestic chaos is tantamount to giving foreign countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.

When the time comes to pacify the domestic rebellion, and then go to pacify the foreign countries, even if they win all the way, it will be another disaster for the people of the world, so Li Yuechen wants to avoid this kind of thing from happening as much as possible.

War is never a good thing, whether it is for the side that wins or the side that loses.

Even though Li Yuechen is now a soldier, she will never use any excuses or forms to beautify war. Rather, being a soldier is to avoid war.

……

Last night, Jiang Zhengan slept very comfortably, even with a smile on his lips.

After all, hugging the princess' thigh, as long as I don't commit suicide, I'm sure I can sit back and relax!

As for the salt, there is no need to worry about it.

So Jiang Zheng'an slept very comfortably and deeply last night. He didn't wake up until the next morning when he heard the majestic drum beating outside.

He opened his eyes, got dressed under the service of the servants, wiped his face with a wet towel, and walked out the door, just in time to see the soldiers in camouflage uniforms running on the training ground.

They ran into a neat square, shouting one, two, three, four, their voices were loud, and it even felt a little deafening in such an empty training ground.

Seeing them running to the beach, Jiang Zhengan raised his fingers and picked his ears. He couldn't help but think in his heart, no wonder it is said that His Highness's army is very powerful. It is no wonder that the combat power is not strong after training like this every day!
The servant next to him reminded in a low voice: "Ah Lang, Your Highness is coming!"

Jiang Zheng'an quickly turned his head and saluted: "I've seen Princess Palace..."

Before he finished speaking, he froze in place, only to see Li Yuechen who came over, dressed in burlap clothes, with a headband on his head, standing beside Wang Wuqiong, looking like a servant.

Instead, it was Wang Wuqiong, who was wearing a ponytail, tied with a red headband, and wearing a bright red round-neck gown, which looked like a princess's usual dress.

He didn't react for a while: "Your Highness, this is..."

"Go to have breakfast first, let's talk on the way!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, and then led him into the cafeteria.

　Uh... still busy today.

　　Because it is past twelve o'clock now, this chapter is counted as yesterday, and I will write another chapter later, and make up what needs to be made up first.
