“Second Miss, the winds and waves in the South Sea are really strong~~ Ugh~~” A wave hit, causing the ship to sway and rock. Lan Qian was leaning over the railing, vomiting profusely.

Jiang Yang was lying on the soft couch. She rolled over and covered her ears with a pillow.

After a while, Lan Qian returned holding his mouth. He had been vomiting from morning till night, to the point that his legs went weak from all the vomiting. He collapsed beside Jiang Yang’s soft couch and said pitifully, “Second Miss, what kind of situation is this? The national treasury can’t spare any money, so they sent you to find money.”

“What else can be done.” Jiang Yang let out a sigh.

The emperor was an extravagant and lascivious old bastard, infuriating the rebels to the point of revolting. The national treasury was almost emptied from the fighting. With no money to be found, they set their sights on the ocean merchant ships.

The Jiang clan had resided in Lingnan for generations. With their proximity to the mountains and sea, this task naturally fell on their shoulders. Jiang Yang’s elder sister commanded the troops in the Lingnan region, a leader amongst leaders in Lingnan. The Jiang clan naturally couldn’t bear to let her go out to sea.

After much consideration, this task fell to Jiang Yang.

However, she had absolutely no experience in doing business!

She had been reborn into this female-dominant world. Before her rebirth, she was just an ordinary office worker, working nine-to-five with little vacation time and pay but plenty of work. If she was capable of doing business, why would she have been a wage slave in her previous life?

That dog emperor should hurry up and get overthrown already. Jiang Yang put on a pained expression.

“Yang’er, you’re all grown up now. It’s time for you to learn how to be independent. Go, set out to sea and earn more money before coming back.” When she was leaving, her old man cried profusely while her old lady patted her shoulder and said with deep feelings.

Jiang Yang forced a smile, “But mother, I don’t know how to do business.” And she wasn’t fluent in foreign languages either. Do foreigners in a female-dominant country also speak English? After so many years of not using it, her current English proficiency was limited to ‘How are you, I’m fine thank you, and you’.

Her old lady affectionately patted her and pointed to the ocean-going ship, saying, “As long as they know how to do business, it’s fine.”

“They?” Jiang Yang looked towards the large ship behind her. The largest ship was over a hundred meters long and could carry nearly a few hundred people. With 10 large sails, it was like a castle on the sea. But after looking around, she couldn’t figure out who her old lady was pointing to. She looked at her blankly, “Who?”

Her old lady’s loving smile cracked a little. She pointed again.

Jiang Yang squinted and finally noticed that there were also cannon positions on both sides of the hull, with black cannon muzzles that looked wildly cool.

Well, well, well. It turned out she wasn’t going to earn money, but to rob money.

“Sigh——” Jiang Yang let out a long sigh.

Lan Qian thought she was worried about earning money and said, “Second Miss, you don’t need to worry. We’ve made very thorough preparations this time~ Ugh~~”

Jiang Yang lazily said, “With cannons ready, the preparations are indeed very thorough.”

Lan Qian humbly scratched the back of his head, “In business, it’s very reasonable and sensible to carry some cannons and handguns~ Ugh~”
