"That's amazing! Is it even possible to get one?"
"Of course it's worth it! Didn't you see what they said? The fish in the ocean swim in schools, so you can easily fill a boat with them. If you're lucky, you might even find fish that are several meters long!"
"A fish that's several meters long, is it still a fish? Won't it eat people?"
"Eat your grandpa's food, that's getting rich! How much are you worth anyway?"
"That makes sense. Shall we give it a try?"
"Let's give it a try. With the prince's navy protecting us, we're sure to make a killing. This stuff is tax-free; if we bring back a whole ship full, we'll make a fortune."
The people of Xiliang were incredibly enthusiastic, eager to join these industries. Their fervent attitude sent a chill down Wang Zitao and his sister's spine; it was terrifying.
Is this the power of 100 million strings of cash?
One hundred million strings of cash is truly astounding!
Even Zhang Jinyi, the Wang Clan's butler, couldn't help but be tempted. He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Young Master, this marine fishery industry is so amazing, should we give it a try?"
If boatloads of fish are caught, this would definitely make a fortune.
Although the Wang Clan is wealthy, there's no reason not to get involved in such a sure-fire profitable business.
"This..."
Wang Zitao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Send someone back to inform Father that we must seize this wave of ocean profits. Since Lin Yi dares to do something like this, he must be confident. I don't believe he'll just throw away 100 million guan like it's nothing!"
Who is this good brother of mine? Perhaps even he can't control him now.
However, one thing has never changed about this good brother: he is not one to suffer losses. Since he dared to offer a subsidy of 100 million guan, he must have been confident, otherwise it would have been a waste.
"There's something wrong here. Lin Yi probably has some plans, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths. The ocean doesn't offer Lin Yi much benefit!" Wang Zijin said in a deep voice after a moment's thought.
This is not in Lin Yi's interest; in fact, it could be said that Lin Yi is basically protecting the fishermen for free, which is completely out of character for Lin Yi. He's not the type to sacrifice himself for others.
However, she couldn't figure out why.
Wang Zitao frowned slightly and muttered, "That's true. Lin Yi probably really has a scheme up his sleeve. We should observe for a while. After all, our Wang Clan is such a large clan; if we lose money, the losses will be enormous."
If a family is too large, then one must be cautious, otherwise there could be trouble.
Huh!
Just then, he discovered something interesting and couldn't help but laugh, "Little sister, look at the bottom right corner of this newspaper, this pinyin is really interesting, it actually allows you to learn characters this way."
"Lion Crow, short and handsome, hahahaha!"
"Pinyin?"
Wang Zijin was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked over, only to find that it was indeed some kind of pinyin, and it was even used to teach people to read.
Her pupils constricted in surprise. Lin Yi's newspaper was distributed All Under Heaven, yet now he was teaching everyone to read. What was going on? What exactly was this guy trying to do?
Such a grand gesture is even more terrifying than that of the ancient sages; this is truly education for all!
She couldn't help but murmur, " Lin Yi is terrifying. What exactly does he want to do? Does he want to become a saint?"
In an instant!
She looked at the newspaper in her hand, her expression turning serious. This small piece of paper contained so much information; no wonder it dared to claim it let people know everything happening in the All Under Heaven.
This passage explains the current situation in Great Ning, outlining some of its advantages and disadvantages, and has a somewhat authoritative tone.
She couldn't believe such a powerful force could come from a woman; it was absolutely impossible.
The newspaper's writing style and the new things that appeared all gave her a refreshing feeling. In particular, the so-called punctuation marks opened her eyes; she never expected that a few small symbols could add so much mystery to the text.
It was truly unbelievable that a woman could do this, making her feel as if she had underestimated all women in the All Under Heaven; at least there was one woman here who was no less capable than herself.
But is it possible for such a person to appear out of thin air?
She couldn't help but look at her brother, frowning as she asked, "Brother, who is this 'Number One Talented Woman of Xiliang'? To be able to produce such a newspaper, her abilities are truly remarkable."
"This Cai Yan shouldn't be from the Cai Clan of Great Ning. It's said that she was discovered by Lin Yi and now controls the Northern Daily, serving as its editor-in-chief. She's in charge of everything for the newspaper," Wang Zitao explained after a moment's hesitation.
He had just heard these things from others, but he couldn't tell if they were true or not. If they were true, this woman was indeed quite talented.
He naturally knew what his sister meant by asking that question, because his sister had always been very proud, and this meant she had met her match.
"Chief Editor?"
Wang Zijin's heart sank; it really was a woman in charge of the newspapers.
This woman probably has a special relationship with Lin Yi, otherwise she wouldn't be in charge of this newspaper. She knows very well that this newspaper is not something an ordinary person can control, because its importance is no less than that of a thousand troops, and that's no joke.
Deep down, she sensed a threat, even a sense of urgency.
She frowned and said, "Let's go. Let's go to the Prince's mansion now, and while we're at it, let's also see this most talented woman in Xiliang!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Jinyi nodded and immediately sent men to clear the way, heading straight for the Prince's residence.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the Prince's Mansion. This place used to be the Prince of Beining Commandery, but it has now been requisitioned by Lin Yi and has become the temporary Prince of Xiliang.
"Miss, we've arrived at the Prince of Xiliang!" Zhang Jinyi said softly after parking the carriage.
"Kindness!"
Wang Zijin slowly stepped down from the carriage, and behind her, Wang Zitao jumped out as well. He looked at the guards at the gate of the palace and said in a deep voice, "Tell your prince that the Wang Clan family has come to pay a visit!"
" The Wang Clan?"
Upon hearing his words, the guard pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I've never heard of any Wang Clan. If you wish to see our Prince, you must first present your visiting card. As for whether the Prince will even grant you an audience, I cannot guarantee that!"
Not just anyone can enter the Prince's residence; it's part of his duties.
"You scoundrel! My sister is your future princess. How dare you show her the slightest disrespect? I'd like to see how you explain this to your prince!" Wang Zitao's face turned green. How dare a mere guard speak like that? This was simply too arrogant.
"Your Highness, her?"
The guard frowned slightly. Although the woman was pretty, his lord was a man of great stature; how could just anyone be worthy of him?
However, since it concerns the prince, we cannot be negligent.
He said in a deep voice, "You all wait here, I'll go ask for instructions!"
Seeing his disdainful look, Wang Zijin's face stiffened. How dare a mere guard look down on her? This was simply outrageous.
The guard rushed inside, encountering Bai Zizai leisurely drinking tea along the way.
"Why are you running? Don't you know what kind of meeting the young master is holding?" Bai Zizai frowned as he watched him run towards him.
"Lord Bai, there is someone outside who is said to be the future princess. I must be cautious."
"Princess?"
Bai Zizai was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Where did this princess come from? What's her name?"
I've never heard of the Crown Prince being married. The only time he was ever engaged was when the Emperor wanted to take him as a son-in-law. He didn't even know when he had a fiancée.
"They say it's the Wang Clan, and that young master is very fierce; I think his name is Wang Zitao!" The guard thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
" Wang Zitao?"
Bai Zizai pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said disdainfully, "It's Wang Yining's son, right? So the so-called princess is that Wang Zijin, is it? Does she even deserve to be the princess of my Prince of Xiliang Kingdom?"
He put down his teacup and headed out the door.
Our own heir has the potential to become emperor in the future. How could a merchant's daughter become a princess? Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock?
