Chapter Forty-Nine: Here We Go

The little emperor is really a god, how did he know that the lord of the Qingshan Marquis was delicious?

Zuo Qing's belly scolded a few words, and he could naturally see the expectation in the eyes of Sima Qingqing's Marquis of the country, but he pretended not to see anything and continued to speak.

The courtiers of the Marquis of Qingshan were greedy and tried their best to restrain the urge to reach out and take it.

The lord of the kingdom swallowed his saliva again and again, and craned his neck to stare at the novel potato feast.

Finally, under the expectation of everyone, Zuo Qing finished speaking and made a gesture of please:

"Lord, please taste. ”

"In that case, I'll try it, let's go together. ”

The lord of the country pretended to be generous.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding in the court.

"Well, it's nice that the gray thing is so good. ”

"When did the Great Qianhou Kingdom have such a powerful cook. ”

"The yield of such delicious things is still so high, if we can grow it in Qingshan Houguo, this profit is not small. ”

Zuo Qing stood aside and watched quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he understood why Lin Hao asked him to send an envoy to the Marquis of Qingshan after fifteen days, firstly, to use the people to plant potatoes to build momentum for this matter, and secondly, to find a cook to teach him to cook, yes, to teach him to cook.

From cutting vegetables to putting them on the plate, he learned every detail in fifteen days, if it weren't for this, how could he, a lieutenant general who led the army to fight, have such cooking skills, and how could he make these princes and nobles eat extremely fascinated.

When he left, Lin Hao also specially instructed that if the lord of the Marquis of Qingshan deliberately made it difficult, he was unwilling to reconcile with them, and he didn't need to say anything, just leave.

He was thinking about it when he heard a burp sound in the hall.

"Boom~"

One of the ministers quickly covered his mouth and stepped aside with a flushed face, while the other ministers secretly laughed.

The lord of the country ate very moist, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Zuo Qing with great satisfaction:

"The cook of the Great Qianhou Kingdom is very good, we have already felt your sincerity, if there is nothing to do, you can step down. ”

"The lord doesn't want to know why I'm here?"

Zuo Qing chuckled in his heart.

Could it be that the little emperor said it again?

They don't admit it after eating?

"We can't afford to climb your great Qianhou country, today's meal is your apology, you go back, tell your little emperor, if you want to reconcile with us, come in person." ”

The lord of the country touched his round belly with a smug expression.

The courtiers looked at him with mockery on their faces.

What about your little envoy of the Qianhou State to apologize?

Not only did I ask you to cook, but you also served me to eat.

When it's over, I just don't recognize your kindness, what can you do to me?

It's just a small country, we just don't take you seriously.

Of course, the reason on their faces made Zuo Qing extremely uncomfortable, and the anger in his heart was rising.

Your Majesty has thought of everything, why don't you allow me to slam it back?

They really went too far! I thought I was a free cook!

Forget it, forbearance, forbearance, Your Majesty said, today is just the beginning.

He took a deep breath and said lightly:

In that case, the envoy took his leave. ”

After speaking, he left directly, not giving them half a chance to continue mocking, and walked to the door of the main hall with a fluttering sentence:

"The next step is to leave the Marquis of Jiaping, and they will definitely be willing to trade with us. ”

Then his figure disappeared in the doorway.

The people of the Marquis of Qingshan were full of surprise.

"That's it, and you're leaving, and you're going to leave without arguing?"

"Are you so arrogant when you come to beg someone?

"What did he mean by that last sentence?"

Qingshan Hou Guoguo frowned, his fingers rubbed his chin, as if he had an endless aftertaste of the delicious potatoes, and seemed to be thinking about Zuo Qing's last words, and was silent for a long time before interrupting the noisy courtiers:

"You said that the Great Qianhou Kingdom would really take potatoes to the Jiaping Marquis Kingdom? We are mortal enemies with them. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Great Qianhou State will not, after all, there is a turbulent Qiushui River between the Jiaping Houguo and them. ”

"It's Your Majesty, they are thunder and rain. ”

"That's right, our Qingshan Marquis is strong, and there is no shortage of potatoes. ”

The courtiers said one after another, but they knew in their hearts that if the Jiaping Marquis who competed with them was allowed to get potatoes, then the national strength of the Jiaping Marquis would definitely increase steadily, and if so, this would not be a good thing for them.

The lord of the country looked at them coldly, although he didn't say a word, his heart was entangled.

Great Qianhou Guo, are you here to hang my appetite for me?

Zuo Qing, who left the palace of the Marquis of Qingshan, felt happy when he thought of the last finishing touch, as if he breathed a fierce sigh.

His Majesty was aware of the interests of all the vassal states under the entire Dawu Dynasty, and the Marquis of Qingshan and the Marquis of Jiaping had been competing for the fifth place in the domestic economy of the princes for several years.

Every year is the victory of the Qingshan Houguo, but the Jiaping Houguo is not bad, if we really trade with the Jiaping Houguo, their economic strength must be steadily improved, then the economic strength ranking at the end of today's year, the Qingshan Houguo must be behind the Jiaping Houguo.

Although the strength of the manager is not equal to the national strength, it also reflects the national strength to a certain extent, so the vassal states under the Dawu Dynasty are very persistent in the ranking of economic strength.

It was because His Majesty had already seen this that he let me leave directly after being rejected, and gave them a cold word before leaving, so that they muttered in their hearts and didn't know what to do.

Thinking that everyone in the court of the Marquis of Qingshan would be entangled for several days because of this matter, he was really comfortable in his heart, and seemed to have avenged the insult just now.

......

The imperial study of the palace of the Great Qianhou State.

Lin Hao once again set his eyes on the map, and his finger crossed the Qiushui River to connect the border between the Marquis of Daqianhou and the Marquis of Jiaping, the Qiushui River is a border river of the Marquis of Daqian, which is a thousand meters wide, and it is turbulent and difficult to cross.

He said to himself:

"With the current technology, it is impossible to build a bridge over this river, even if Cao Ze crosses this river, there is a possibility that it will be washed away, it seems that if you want to trade with the Marquis of Jiaping, you are afraid that you will have to find another way. ”

"Your Majesty, Zuo Qing is back as a deputy general. ”

Xiao Linzi quietly approached and said in a low voice.

"Tell him to rest these days. ”

Lin Hao waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

At the same time, another little eunuch came in trembling with a gray box in his hand and knelt directly on the ground:

"Your Majesty, the demon clan, the demon clan sent it. ”

"What?"

Lin Hao's fingers trembled, and his heart tightened even more.

Could it be that Qi Xiao is dead?

Impossible, how could it be so fast? Shouldn't he have entered the Godra Mountains according to the time?

His eyes stared at the lifeless box, and his heart sank as if it were filled with lead:

"Open!"
