Chapter 278 Jealous
Yang Fan’s analysis is correct. Whether it is Tubo or other countries, they all know that it cannot cause too much harm to the Tang Dynasty.
Then why do you always provoke the Tang Dynasty?
It is actually very simple. On the one hand, it is to alleviate the conflicts between tribes, and on the other hand, it is to plunder.
This is also the reason why Tubo dared to send troops without preparing much food and grass. The purpose is to surprisingly not easily occupy several cities and robbery.
The nation that lives by nomadic people, with skillful bows and horses, is their destination.
The farming life that lives in cities is not suitable for them at all. Attacking cities is just for supplies.
Before the forage grows, it is also the time when nomadic materials are the most in poverty.
Tubo now plundered in the name of being rejected by marriage, which became the best excuse.
Because Tubo also knew that the Tang Dynasty had constant natural disasters over the years, it was impossible for the court to have surplus grain to fight them on a large scale, so the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo was so confident.
In his opinion, sending troops to the Tang Dynasty can not only obtain material resources to alleviate the domestic food crisis, but also put pressure on the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess, which is a calculation of killing two birds with one stone.
However, it is obvious that Songtsen Gampo will definitely fall into a big fight this time.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan lowered his head and kissed Wu Meiniang's white forehead, and said with a smile: "Even if Tubo has any action, it should be a while, but Meiniang has to hurry up on food..."
Wu Meiniang gave Yang Fan a blank look, pouted and said angrily:
"My husband is really bad. Even though he knows that the two brothers of Mei Niang are standing behind the Cui family, he still pretends to be suspicious. In the future, Mei Niang's two brothers will suffer!"
"But the Cui family are very careful. Over the past month, they have only ordered three million yuan of goods from us one after another, but the amount we have set in the past few days has obviously become larger..."
"According to my husband's opinion, the transaction mainly uses grain and gold. So much money, of course, it is impossible to exchange it for all of it. Besides, the grain has already filled the granary of Chang'an City, which is enough for the support of the 500,000 army for more than half a year, and the gold is more than 200,000 taels!"
"But Meimei is a little confused. If so much food is dedicated to the court to send troops, what's the use of your husband to exchange so much gold?"
Looking at Wu Meiniang, who was holding her little head with a puzzled expression on her face, she didn't expect that the Empress Wu Zetian would have such a cute side, which made Yang Fan laugh.
Even so, Yang Fan was not ready to say the exchange system, but praised: "Mei Niang is really capable... Isn't our Tang Chamber of Commerce going to form a fleet to trade in the sea? This gold is mainly to create a big ship that can overcome all waves and surround the world."
Wu Meiniang looked at Yang Fan with a smile and joked: "Oh? Is this the 'Gaoyang Princess' sea ship that my husband uses to please His Highness?"
Yang Fan looked surprised and asked in a dismayed voice: "How did Mei Niang know?"
Indeed, the plan to build the "Gaoyang Princess" was only mentioned by Li Shimin and Princess Gaoyang, and Li Shimin did not take it seriously at that time.
Besides, as the emperor, Li Shimin could not have been idle and had nothing to do to deliberately pass this matter to Wu Meiniang.
Then, there is only one possibility, that is, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang meet!
Even in the ancient times when there were three wives and four concubines, Yang Fan was a little panicked. When these two little accomplices met, wouldn’t they fight?
As a woman with a good mind, Wu Meiniang certainly saw Yang Fan’s worries and pouted and complained: “Husband is really a noble man who forgets things. Didn’t you arrange your Princess Gaoyang to work in the Tang Chamber of Commerce?”
"Why, do you have any objections to your husband's arrangement? You jealous woman, you don't care about your family..." Looking at Wu Meiniang, Yang Fan slapped his big hand on his slippery buttocks and pretended to be angry.
Wu Meiniang was so beautiful that she was so scared that she was lost. If she was... she would have to go to bed for two days. Her delicate figure shrank into a ball and she quickly begged for mercy and said, "Husband, I don't dare."
Seeing that she was so scared that she was trembling because of one sentence, Yang Fan was silent!
Women are actually very sensitive. Sometimes they can’t tell whether what they are saying is a joke, so they have to stretch out their arms and put their arms around her soft shoulders.
"Mei Niang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, it's all my fault for only caring about myself... But don't worry, even if Princess Gaoyang comes in from now on, she will treat everyone equally..."
Although this kind of thing is satisfying for two people, it will indeed harm the body if it is excessive.
Besides, it is understandable that Wu Meiniang has any opinions about her arrangement for Princess Gaoyang to join the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Wu Meiniang's soft body suddenly paused, raised her little head, and her big eyes were filled with surprise and touch.
From ancient times to the present, no husband has ever said sorry to his concubine? Even in ordinary people's homes, let alone among the wealthy families!
In fact, to a certain extent, Wu Meiniang has always had a knot in her heart.
From the time the emperor gave her to Yang Fan as his concubine, Wu Meiniang, who was taller than the sky, was a little resistant.
But later he was conquered by Yang Fan step by step, not only his body, but also his heart was completely devastated.
Even though Wu Meiniang later took charge of all the affairs of all and big in the Yang family, her identity was embarrassing.
After all, she is not the wife of her husband!
When Wu Meiniang saw Princess Gaoyang arranged by Yang Fan in the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, she naturally thought that Princess Gaoyang wanted to take away the rights from her hands and wanted to steal her man, and that was jealous!
Which woman is willing to share her husband with others?
Even though women have only become men's accessories from ancient times to the present...
Even though the Tang Dynasty was an era where men were superior to women...
Even if a man can have three wives and four concubines, women are magnanimous in their faces with their own men and women looking for women on the surface...
But it is undeniable that jealousy is a woman’s nature!
Wu Meiniang is unwilling to give up!
She was unwilling to let herself be just a man's accessory, just a concubine.
She was afraid that after Princess Gaoyang got married, she would become an optional vase!
However, Yang Fan's apology has completely dispelled Wu Meiniang.
What's more, I was really jealous just now.
The most important thing is that it is natural for a woman to serve her husband!
But why did the man in front of him apologize to him?
Because he never regarded himself as a concubine, a vase, or an object to vent his desires.
In his heart, he always regarded himself as his woman and his family.
