176. The strange Shengguo
Before Sheng Jiajun left, Fang Fangfu told him again, "Remember, every big ship must prepare three more clippers."
Sheng Jiajun only felt strange about the inexplicable request for a house gift.
Why bring so many ships?
Could it be that he will encounter pirates this time when he goes to sea?
The more Sheng Jiajun thought about it, the more likely it was that pirates had appeared frequently along the coast recently, harassing coastal residents. They burned, killed, and looted when they came ashore. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they would immediately escape in boats, which was very difficult.
This is also the reason why Shengguo's national strength far exceeds that of the two countries, but it has not sent troops to attack the two countries.
Their national policy in recent years is to first build ships and train their navy to completely defeat the pirates at sea, so that they dare not invade the Sheng Kingdom again. When the sea is peaceful, they will send troops south to conquer the two countries.
It's just that training the navy costs a lot of money, and now the Sheng Kingdom's treasury is overwhelmed.
After Sheng Jiajun returned home, he immediately ordered his subordinates to bring more elite soldiers and sufficient weapons for this trip.
The dangers encountered when going to sea are either natural disasters or man-made disasters.
There is a house that has seen the weather for him, and natural disasters can be avoided, so the remaining disaster is rampant pirates on the sea.
Xie Chunchao sent as many people as possible around her out in the name of sending letters, but the belongings and items she brought this time also included several large carriages.
When Sheng Jiajun asked, she only said that she stayed in Sheng Kingdom too early and that she should go to Xia Kingdom as soon as possible.
After the trip to the island was over, she was ready to leave. The many things she had brought were too cumbersome, and it would be slow to walk with them. It would be better to let the luggage go first, and then she would go after them lightly, which would also save time.
After hearing this, Sheng Jiajun did not become suspicious, but asked out of curiosity, "Why are you so anxious, sister?"
Xie Chunchao held his chin and said, "Everyone in the world knows that the princes of the two countries proposed to Chu. I can't keep nagging and scolding."
Ever since she proposed that she wanted to spend the summer between the two countries before making a decision, there has been a lot of discussion among the people. Some people supported her, but others felt that as a princess of a country, Xie Chunchao ran around and casually contacted foreign men, which was not a woman's morality.
Xie Chunchao knew that some people were scolding her, and some even wrote poems and articles angrily criticizing her actions.
Xie Chunchao has also read some of the excellent works that criticized her. Among other things, some of them have quite good literary talents.
It's a pity that he has such literary talent but he doesn't use it in the right way. He stares at her and writes curse words all day long.
Sheng Jiajun also knew this, and comforted him, "No matter what you do, there will always be people who are dissatisfied, so why change your behavior to suit their wishes?"
These words were clear and sensible, but disgusting with Sheng Jiajun's usual behavior was really not something he could say.
After he said this, he immediately said angrily, "But these people have nothing to do all day, so they have the energy to write articles to scold you. I have long ordered the officials of Shengguo to arrest anyone who makes such remarks." After working as a coolie for several days, look at his mouth and he still can't say anything."
Xie Chunchao chuckled and said, "You don't have to spend so much time on me."
"But..." Xie Chunchao asked with some curiosity, "During this period, I discovered that you have a very high reputation among the people. Even if you stabbed your brother in the street, no one would say you were cruel. Instead, they would praise you."
"What on earth have you done to make the people of Sheng Guo love you so much?"
Sheng Jiajun just chuckled and then said, "There is something magical about our Sheng country. It is open and conservative at the same time."
In the past few days in Shengguo, Xie Chunchao was not only very familiar with the customs of Shengguo, but he also had a general understanding.
The State of Sheng was not as strict about women as the State of Chu. Women in Sheng State could be seen everywhere on the streets. They were hawkers or shopkeepers, and there were even female officials in the court.
Divorce is a very common thing here, and no one would blame the woman.
Even at the beach there are women who dress coolly, but they are also very superstitious.
Perhaps it was because it was close to the sea. Everyone in the Sheng Kingdom worshiped the Poseidon very much, and this Poseidon was also a woman.
Perhaps this is also the reason why men in Sheng Kingdom respect women.
In Xie Chunchao's inherent concept, this is a strange thing no matter how you look at it. It stands to reason that the more superstitious a place is, the more oppressive it will be to women, but Sheng Guo did the opposite.
Perhaps it was because Sheng Guo was too superstitious that the current situation was caused.
"A large part of the reason why I have such a reputation among the people is because I was born with an abnormality and fell into a prophecy that has been circulated in our prosperous country for hundreds of years."
"So no matter what I do, everyone in the Sheng Kingdom thinks that I am the child of the Goddess of the Sea, a god sent to save them."
"Everything I do is right and has a reason."
"If I kill people, they will only think that there must be something wrong with that person."
Xie Chunchao understood that in the eyes of Sheng people, Sheng Jiajun was not only the prince, but also the god they believed in.
They firmly believe that this legendary prince must be the god who can save them from suffering.
Xie Chunchao was stunned for a long time and then said, "It's like this. This is really unexpected."
It was unexpected at first, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange anymore.
Unless it was abnormal fanatical worship, how could the people believe in a person so abnormally?
Sheng Jiajun smiled slyly and said, "I was quite troubled by this when I was young. No matter what I did, no one blamed me. Instead, they all praised me."
"I just deliberately did some annoying things so that people would scold me, but they didn't."
"Everyone still tolerates what I do and makes excuses for me. No matter how I explain, they refuse to listen."
Sheng Jiajun said this with a smile and a bit of helpless sadness in his eyes, "Then I thought about it."
Have you really thought about it?
Xie Chunchao looked into his eyes and felt that he might not have let go of this matter yet.
Thinking about it carefully, she still has no clear reply to his overtures. Since they met, she has always rejected him and rejected his good intentions.
This is unbearable shame and pain for ordinary people, but for him, will it be a rare joy?
Like a child who lives in blame and awaits praise?
Xie Chunchao suddenly raised his hand and hit Sheng Jiajun on the arm and asked, "Will you be happy if I treat you like this?"
Sheng Jiajun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xie Chunchao smiled and said, "Didn't you always want everyone to scold you when you were a child?"
"Is it a happy thing for you that I always reject you?"
Sheng Jiajun did not answer her question clearly. He just raised his lips and smiled and said, "Sister, I am not a child now."
"Does my sister still like her favorite toy when she was three years old?"
