Chapter 213 The Princess' Current Situation
Jiang Changle heard from Nanny Mu and the others that a new member of the royal family would initially only have a fiefdom of one county, and as they made more contributions to the dynasty, the more fiefdoms they would be rewarded with.
The original owner had been granted two cities and eighteen counties as a fief, making her the princess with the most fiefs in the Eastern Dynasty. The fifth princess only had two counties less than the original owner.
However, according to He Jing's analysis, although the fourth and fifth princesses had many fiefs, they were not wealthy places. The one who had the most good fiefs was the eldest princess who did not show off.
The eldest princess's annual income is almost more than that of the fourth and fifth princesses combined.
However, the tax revenue from the two cities and eighteen counties was not small, enough to support an army of 300,000. However, after the original owner Jiang Changle was framed and exiled, all the fiefs were taken back by the dynasty.
Now, Jiang Changle has thirteen fiefs in his hands, each with three counties, so he directly obtains 39 counties, and there are three more counties than the four cities!
In other words, the original owner had gone through life and death for many years, but she didn't give birth to as many children as she did in just half a year. This made Jiang Changle feel very complicated.
In the Beast World, it seems that sleeping with a handsome man and having a baby is enough to win the day. With the baby in her belly, Jiang Changle feels that she can seize half of the Eastern Dynasty by giving birth to a baby.
Not only did the queen grant fiefdoms to the children, but as their grandmother, she also gave gifts to the thirteen children, which were the things written in the book.
There are fertile fields, gold, silver, treasures, cloth and medicinal herbs, as well as shops, horses and weapons.
This is the real good stuff that can be used directly, but Nanny Hua did not send it here. Instead, it was placed in Jiang Changle’s house in Kyoto.
Originally, Jiang Changle wanted to draw a clear line between herself and the Queen, but if she accepted these things, she felt that this relationship would have to be severed.
We can discuss this matter slowly after the beastly husbands come back. There is no rush.
At present, what is important is the fiefdom. The fiefdoms of the first five children are all allocated to the places they applied for previously.
The fiefs of the other eight children were left empty, with three counties for each child to fill as they pleased.
This makes it very convenient for Jiang Changle to act. When she develops a county, she can simply fill in the name and manage that place, such as the current Jiuer County.
It just so happens that Xuanqing’s home is here, and the Jiang family’s business is here. If it can be controlled, it will definitely be beneficial to development.
Naturally, the scope of the fiefdom is limited to unowned land. If it has already belonged to someone, it naturally cannot be moved.
Jiang Changle opened the imperial edict and the booklet one by one, read them through and then closed them. Her face showed a relaxed and indifferent expression, and Aunt Hua stole a few glances at her.
Even a shrewd old woman like her couldn't figure out Jiang Changle's thoughts. In the end, she could only sigh quietly to Aunt Mu, "The princess has grown up."
Unexpectedly, when she said this, Nanny Mu immediately wiped her eyes and said, "After going through life and death, how can I not grow a little? You don't know what the scene was like when we saw the princess again after she lost contact.
Poisoned and disfigured, with weak martial arts skills, a disabled husband, living in a thatched hut, with no food in the jar, bullied by local tyrants, and hunted by Kyoto forces to demand the Black Dragon Guard~"
Half of these were improved after Nanny Mu came, but she had to speak up for her own princess and let the empress know how difficult her daughter's life was.
Comparing it with her achievements today, Jiang Changle's abilities are more evident.
Nanny Mu is also an old lady, how could she not have some scheming in her mind?
The Queen really didn't know about these things. It was true that Jiang Changle was sentenced to exile before, but the specific place of exile was not the most difficult Acid Rain Village at all.
The reason why she came to Sour Rain Village and married a weak and beastly husband was the result of the struggle between multiple forces.
It was because of this that Jiang Changle lost contact. The Black Dragon Guards couldn't find her, the Queen couldn't find her, and even the forces in Kyoto couldn't find her.
It can be seen how chaotic the situation was at that time. Unfortunately, the original owner did not survive in the end.
That's not true. In his previous life, the original owner used all available resources to survive until the middle of the struggle, but he couldn't make it to the end. He was betrayed by his friends and relatives because of Gu Ci, and ended up with a miserable death.
Now that Jiang Changle has taken over the body, he has taken a completely different path from the original owner, so his achievements are naturally different.
Aunt Hua was playing with blocks with Dabao. She put one up and Dabao put one down. She was chatting with Aunt Mu and paying attention to the fourth princess's side. She didn't notice it at first, but later she found that the colors of the blocks Dabao put up were unusually uniform.
Wow! This kid isn't even six months old, is he? He's so organized and methodical, and he's a golden-haired, nine-tailed fox. His future is limitless.
"Haha, how can the road to the top be without thorns?
The fourth princess has made it through, but let me tell you, some of the other princesses are still struggling and haven't found their place; some think they are in control of the overall situation, but are actually confined to their own little space.
Only the Fourth Princess has a long-term vision and a broad path, and the road ahead will only be bigger and farther.
Your good fortune is still to come, but given the current situation, I don’t know how many people envy you.
The Fire and Earth Elements were sacrificed, and many people in Kyoto are jealous of the Fourth Princess's arrangements for their families."
This is where the Fourth Princess is best at winning people's hearts. Anyone who has paid for her will receive corresponding rewards.
With such a wise leader, is he still afraid that no one will use his power?
Nanny Mu paused and understood what Nanny Hua meant. The Queen didn't have only one child, the Fourth Princess, so at least on the surface, she had to be fair and just.
If they want to gain the Queen's favor, the Jiang family must show sincerity and ability.
"You're right to be envious. There's no master in this world more kind and generous than our Fourth Princess, except, of course, Her Majesty the Queen.
I know you won't envy me, but since you're here, how about staying here for a few more days? Feel the unique atmosphere of life in the Jiang family."
During this period, they could bribe Aunt Hua as well, so that they could receive the new decrees or other news of the future dynasty in a timely manner.
"Okay, if the Fourth Princess doesn't mind, then I'll nag you."
Nanny Hua naturally wanted to see the current situation of the Jiang family with her own eyes so that she could report to the Queen after returning.
Just treat it as entertaining a special guest. Jiang Changle had no objection and treated it as normal. She didn't feel it was troublesome or pressured.
Just as the two were chatting happily, Chu Weifeng came back, "Changle, come and see what good things I brought back for you."
Before I saw his figure, the sound came from far away. Soon, I saw a tall young male rushing in with a big sack on his back.
There was only Jiang Changle in his eyes, and he didn't even notice that there was a Nanny Hua next to the child.
"What are the things? There are quite a lot of them." Jiang Changle put the imperial edict and the booklet back into the box, then stood up and walked towards Chu Weifeng.
