Wan Houyu regretted it at this time. Why did he teach the prince and princess the dialects of many countries on the island? If he didn't know how to do it, he could still make up for it. What should he do now
The anger on the prince's face was already quite obvious. Wan Houyu didn't know what to say. Tian Daozhu thought that Wan Houyu was having trouble choosing: "Don't hesitate, Wan Jun. If you like them all, I'll give you all these women. I'll take a loss and exchange a few for one."
Damn it, you are still at a disadvantage! Wan Houyu wanted to rush up and punch Tian Daozhu to death, but no, he had to solve this matter before the prince and princess got angry.
Suddenly he stood up and said, "Master Tian, let me introduce you to you. This is our Great Zhou's prince, and this is the princess. In our Great Zhou, women are also independent and have their own personalities. It is absolutely not allowed to exchange them."
"You are insulting our Great Zhou. You are declaring war on us. You should think carefully. If you anger us, we will send our army to your border. Your entire country will be destroyed in a blink of an eye."
Qian Jiujiu thought, it's really hard for Wan Houyu to come up with so many words. Tian Daozhu was stunned. The prince of the Great Zhou? What does it mean? Tian Daozhu is a person who asks if he doesn't understand, so he just asked directly.
"What does your Highness mean? Women cannot be exchanged? Aren't women meant to be exchanged?"
Wan Houyu was helpless, and then he remembered that their country and this country were managed differently, so of course he didn't know. He could only explain: "Let me tell you this, in our Great Zhou, there are many big families, but the biggest one is called the Royal Family."
"The royal family controls the land of our entire Great Zhou and manages all the families, all of whom are the emperor. The prince is the emperor's younger brother, and this shoulder-to-shoulder king is the second most noble man in the world. The woman you want to exchange is the princess, the third most noble woman in the entire Great Zhou."
As for the most honorable person, it must be the Queen Mother, and above her is the Queen, so before we knew it, Qian Jiujiu was ranked third.
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "You are ranked third now. Are you feeling disappointed?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and said, "What's so good about being number one in the world? Number three is just right. Who would be angry about this? But the customs on this island are really unacceptable. Women have no status at all."
Mu Yexiao also nodded: "That's true. I wonder what the women here think? If they want to change, it may take thousands of years."
Qian Jiujiu glared at Mu Yexiao speechlessly and did not speak. Wan Houyu was still talking to Island Master Tian: "In short, if you don't apologize to our princess now, you can wait for your entire country to be razed to the ground."
"Our country is huge, and we have millions of soldiers. It will be no problem for you to take us down with such a small number of people."
When Master Tian heard that there were millions of soldiers, he was really scared. But thinking that those people would not come, he just looked at Wan Houyu and said, "Don't scare me. Even with so many people, they can't come. I'm not afraid."
"Also, I really like your princess. If she doesn't trade with me, she will be snatched away by the island master Huishi."
Wan Houyu took a deep breath. In fact, he thought that this island master Tian was okay, but if the person in front of him insisted on seeking death, no one could do anything. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao and said, "My lord, my princess, how should we deal with this person?"
Mu Yexiao sneered: "Do you think the man who dares to insult the princess deserves to be alive?"
As the saying goes, if you are not satisfied, you are not guilty. This has been explained. If you still insist on doing so, then kill him. Even if it is outside the territory, he will never let anyone insult his Jiuer. How dare he still covet it and want to exchange it.
This is not far from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Such things are absolutely not allowed. Wan Houyu nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards around the prince were quicker than Wan Houyu. After hearing Wan Houyu's explanation, they went out and asked a hundred elite soldiers to start preparing. Now that the order had come down, they started to go forward to arrest people.
Seeing the people coming, they started fighting immediately. The people in Tiandao's family were also dumbfounded. In the eyes of these elite soldiers, there was no distinction between men and women. They started fighting directly, killing those who resisted strongly, and making those who surrendered kneel on the ground.
Qian Jiujiu looked at the scene in front of him. Seeing those people kneeling very skillfully, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He looked at one of the women and said, "Come here."
The woman looked at Qian Jiujiu in surprise. It turned out that Qian Jiujiu could speak their language. Although she was a little scared, she still approached bravely when she saw that it was Qian Jiujiu who called her. After approaching Qian Jiujiu, she knelt down and kowtowed.
"Don't kill me. I can serve you. I know a lot of things."
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "I have a maid, I don't need you, I asked you to come here, just to ask you, why did you kneel so quickly?"
The woman glanced at Qian Jiujiu and began to explain: "It's because the families here often fight. The family that existed yesterday may not exist today. And we women are also the property they have fought to break free of. As long as we kneel down quickly, we can survive."
So that's how it is. Looking at the woman, Qian Jiujiu continued to ask: "What's your name? How long have you been working here? Which fixed families do you have?"
Hearing this, the woman spoke out of fear: "My name is Lingzi. The fixed families are the Ishijima family, the Tajima family, and other large families. I have also been here for two years. Everyone wants to come to a large family, so there is no need to worry about being robbed."
It seems that life here is not good. Qian Jiujiu was immersed in it and did not speak. But Lingzi suddenly spoke: "Can I ask you a question?"
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised: "What do you want to ask?"
Lingzi gritted her teeth, a little timid: "What will you do with us? Will you sell us all?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "No, I don't have the habit of selling people."
Lingzi suddenly pointed at Wan Houyu and said, "Is what that person just said true? In your country, women are also people, not property? Can't they be bought and sold or given away at will? Can they also have their own personalities and independent personalities?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at the desire in the woman's eyes and nodded: "Yes, this is how it is in our Great Zhou. Although men and women are still not equal, women are by no means inferior. In our place, for a woman to get married, she needs three matchmakers, six betrothals, and eight sedan chair bearers."
"After you marry a woman, you will be loyal to her for the rest of your life. Unless she is a concubine, concubines can be given away or bought and sold. How can I put it? As long as you marry a man as his wife, you can be respected."
Lingzi looked at Qian Jiujiu with envy: "That's great, I also want to live in such a country. In our place, women are other people's private property and can be given away at will."
Qian Jiujiu felt a little sympathetic and glanced at Lingzi: "Why don't you resist? Wouldn't it be better to build this place into a country like this, so that men and women are equal?"
Lingzi shook her head: "No, here, many people make a living by fishing. Women are naturally weak and cannot compare to men. They are supported by men, so how can they be the master of men!"
So that's how it is. Mu Yexiao came over and pulled Qian Jiujiu up: "We're still chatting. Now that we've captured everyone, what are we going to do with them? Are we going to kill them all?"
Qian Jiujiu frowned: "Wouldn't it be too cruel to kill them all? Why don't we build a base here? Leave some people here so that when we come over later, there will be someone to pick us up."
Wan Houyu suddenly spoke up: "Princess, we have fixed people cooperating in each place. There is no need to leave people here. Besides, the people we brought here are not bad either."
That's true. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu looked at Lingzi and suddenly had some ideas: "If I support a family with a woman as the head, do you think it's feasible?"
What sudden thought came to him? Mu Yexiao understood at a glance that when Qian Jiujiu and Lingzi were talking, he didn't know what they said. Did they feel some sympathy for these women
Wan Houyu looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess, it will take a few days to get the water. We can think about it slowly. Besides, if we take down the Tiandao family, other families will have some ideas."
So, should we take it one step at a time? Qian Jiujiu suddenly said, "Go and kill Tian Daozhu and hang him upside down on the house outside. I want to see what these people will do next. And take a thousand elite soldiers ashore, and the rest stay on the big ship."
A thousand elite soldiers should be enough to deal with these people. As soon as Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, the people around him went to do this.
Wan Houyu glanced at Mu Yexiao, and Mu Yexiao glared at Wan Houyu: "You said we have been together for quite a while, but can't you tell who is the boss in our family? Why are you looking at me?"
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "In our family, I make the decisions on small matters, and the prince makes the decisions on big matters."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Yes, but only my princess's matter is a big deal, everything else is a small matter."
Wan Houyu had the urge to vomit blood. Didn't he just glance at the prince? Why should he be forced to eat dog food? Who is the boss in your family? Why do you care about me
Holding back his inner roar, Wan Houyu could only laugh dryly: "Then what should we do with these women?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled at Wan Houyu: "This is not easy, I'll leave it to you."
What could Wan Houyu do? Of course, he would lock them up first and make a decision later. All the women in the family were locked up together.
When Lingzi just returned, she was called over and surrounded by people: "Lingzi, what did you say to that Da Zhou woman today? You talked for a long time, and did you say how to deal with us?"
