On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1223 Doing Business

Lin Zhen's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, like a devil's, filled with greed and scheming!

"We don't need to completely conquer Japan at all."

"We only need to turn it into a perpetual, unreconcilable, fragmented hell on earth!"

"Doesn't Oda Nobunaga aspire to be the undisputed ruler of the world?"

"Okay, let's let him be it."

"But we can't let him be so comfortable in his position."

"Didn't Tokugawa Hidetada want revenge and to take back everything he had?"

"Okay, we'll help him too."

"We can sell our most advanced flintlock muskets and cannons to Oda Nobunaga at a high price."

"Give him the absolute power to suppress all opponents."

"On the other hand, we can also secretly provide Tokugawa Hidetada with financial and military assistance."

"To give him the strength to rival Oda Nobunaga."

"We want to treat them like two mad dogs locked in the same cage!"

"To tear each other apart and consume each other forever!"

"To live forever in war and turmoil!"

“In that case,” his voice grew increasingly devilishly seductive, “they will need to keep buying weapons, food, and everything else they need from us!”

"And then we can sit back and demand whatever we want!"

“Every tael of silver produced from their enormous silver mine will eventually flow into the treasury of our Great Qian!”

"Their finest craftsmen, bravest warriors, and most brilliant minds will all be willing to serve us for survival and profit!"

"We can even turn Japan into the perfect training ground for our Great Qian Royal Navy!"

"Let our soldiers grow rapidly into a truly invincible army through the baptism of blood and fire!"

"And all we need to give up are some insignificant, outdated weapons that are about to be phased out."

"And some empty checks that will never run out."

"Tell me," he said, looking at his beloved woman who was completely stunned by his earth-shattering idea, which could only be described as "the devil's words," a smug and wicked smile spreading across his face.

Did we make a profit or a loss on this deal?

Murong Yan was completely dumbfounded.

She lay there blankly in Lin Zhen's arms, her incredibly beautiful phoenix eyes staring at him without blinking, her mind buzzing and completely blank.

She felt that her worldview had been completely overturned once again by this man in just a few words.

Is this...is this a plan that a human could come up with?

This is worse than the devil himself!

Turn a country into a bloody grinder that can never be unified, let them tear each other apart and consume each other forever, and then the Great Qian can reap the benefits. Not only can it obtain a continuous stream of wealth and talent, but it can also train its troops.

Just listening to it made her feel a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

Too bad!

It’s so cruel!

She used to think that she had learned so much about imperial tactics from Lin Zhen, and that she was already a qualified scheming empress.

But compared to her devilish husband, her so-called strategies and tactics are like children playing house, ridiculously naive.

He's no longer scheming against a country; he's toying with the fate of an entire nation!

"Husband..." It took her a long time to recover from the huge shock, her voice was a little unsteady, "You...you are a born bad seed."

"What do you mean by 'bad seed'?" Lin Zhen was displeased. He lowered his head and lightly bit her rosy lips. "I'm doing this on behalf of Heaven, do you understand?"

"That tiny island nation of Japan has a fierce and unruly populace, and has harassed the coastal people of our Great Qian Dynasty for hundreds of years. Our trip there is merely to collect some interest, and incidentally, to help them maintain internal unity, promote the development of their military industry, and stimulate domestic demand. What is this called? This is international humanitarian aid!"

"Pfft..." Murong Yan finally couldn't help but laugh at his shameless and illogical remarks.

She raised her small fist and lightly punched his sturdy chest, scolding him playfully, "Nonsense! All nonsense! How come I never noticed before that your skin is thicker than the walls of Chang'an?"

"That's because you didn't truly understand your husband before." Lin Zhen pulled her closer to him with a smug look on his face, rubbed his chin against her soft hair, and greedily inhaled the orchid fragrance that brought him peace of mind.

"Yan'er, you must remember that this world is a huge jungle. If we in Daqian want to survive in this jungle, and even live better than everyone else, we cannot be a docile sheep."

"We must become the fiercest and most cunning lion king in this jungle!"

"Any jackals or tigers that dare to challenge our authority or covet our territory will be crushed without hesitation, their claws and teeth broken one by one, and their spines broken inch by inch!"

"We want them to know who the true masters of this jungle are!"

Lin Zhen's voice was filled with a cold, unquestionable domineering tone.

Murong Yan listened quietly, and the last trace of hesitation and reluctance in her beautiful phoenix eyes completely vanished.

She knew her husband was right.

This world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

She is the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, and she must fight for the safest and brightest future for this country, for her people, and for the child in her womb.

Even if this process requires her to have her hands stained with blood, and to become a cold-blooded and ruthless devil who is a stranger to herself.

She was willing to do anything.

"Okay." She looked up and, taking the initiative, placed a cold yet resolute kiss on his lips. "I'll do whatever you say."

"Let's join hands, my husband and I."

"Let's turn this Japan into our Great Qian's ATM, training ground, and... backyard!"

As she finished speaking, a cunning and scheming smile, exactly like Lin Zhen's, appeared on her face.

At this moment, she was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.

The extremely dark Suzhou brocade, under the warm afternoon sun, seemed to transform into a huge black spider web woven from conspiracy and desire.

And she and the man beside her are the most elite, and also the most ruthless, predators on this spider web.

The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to sense the change in its owner's heart.

From his phoenix eyes burst forth an unprecedented, terrifying golden light, filled with greed and scheming!

It was as if one could already see how countless Japanese people, under the schemes of the husband and wife, slaughtered each other, causing rivers of blood to flow.

And how did the mountains of silver from Japan flow into the treasury of the Great Qian Dynasty?

The five-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) trailing trail of dark gold Suzhou brocade spread out freely across the grass. Within that luxurious disarray lay an absolute confidence and domineering aura, as if the entire world were its own chessboard!
