Chapter 0074: Becoming a Lord
Jing Xiaotian instantly forgot about the environment he was in, and watched with envy as those golden eagles flew over one after another, and very gracefully picked up the beef on the tip of Haitian's knife, and then fell back to the beam and swallowed it.
My heart is full of yearning: When will I be able to get such golden eagles to raise, and send a few to Jin Hexi when the time comes, in that case, wouldn't it be much easier to communicate with each other, the pigeons are too weak and petite, and they are reluctant to let them work hard.
Zhao Dan on the side didn't pay attention to the scene in front of him at all, as soon as he saw the mutton coming up, he immediately grabbed it in his hand and gnawed it as if no one was around, and he refused to use the knife on the table.
After eating two bites, he poured a bowl of mare's milk sprinkled with his own care, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, Hai Tianyi's patience was particularly good, he watched Zhao Dan eat and drink with great interest, and then smiled lightly: "It seems that these drinks and dishes are still suitable for Zhao Gongzi's taste!" ”
"Yes, this roast mutton is really good, the outer layer is crispy and salty, and the inside is soft and flexible, it really makes people want to eat this meal!" Zhao Dan was obviously hungry, and he was still chewing something in his mouth when he spoke.
However, it seems that Hai Tianyi didn't care, but laughed and said: "Zhao Gongzi likes to eat roasted whole sheep, this is really happy, this king can guarantee that as long as you want to eat, you can eat it at any time!" ”
When Zhao Dan and Jing Xiaotian heard this, they were both stunned, and they didn't understand what they meant, so they all raised their heads and stared at Hai Tianyi waiting for his next words.
Haitian smiled enough, and then looked at Zhao Dan and said: "Zhao Gongzi, do you know that in our grassland, if a free person kills the lord of a certain territory, he can replace him and become the master of that land?" ”
Zhao Dan's heart moved slightly, he couldn't help but put down the wine glass, stopped chewing, straightened his waist, and his attitude was also humble, and said, "Back to the prince, the little people don't know." ”
At this time, Hai Tianyi sighed softly in his heart: "It turns out that it's just like this, first and then respectful, just to ask for more benefits!" ”
Then he continued: "Now, since you have killed the lord of the Hanshan Territory, it stands to reason that you can become the lord there, I don't know if Zhao Gongzi, can you be willing to accept the policy of my Dacang Department and become a member of my Dacang Ministry." ”
"But, what do you need to do for the Great Cangbu as a lord?"
Zhao Dan had calmed down at this time, and he knew very well that when pies in the sky, there were often traps under his feet.
"If Zhao Gongzi becomes the lord of Hanshan, he only needs to provide a hundred guns, a hundred sheep, ten horses, and five slaves to the Great Cangbu every year."
Hai Tianyi put forward the conditions, he took so much effort and went around in such a big circle, but he just wanted to take Zhao Dan as a subordinate and let him provide muskets.
"That's too much, where can I get so many guns!" Zhao Dan said as if talking to himself.
Seeing Zhao Dan hesitate, Haitian immediately added: "In addition to the territory, I will also reward Zhao Gongzi with one hundred taels of gold and one hundred slaves, and follow Zhao Gongzi to the territory of Hanshan." ”
Zhao Dan's eyes rolled, and he estimated that he couldn't squeeze any oil and water, so he nodded and said, "Deal." ”
Jing Xiaotian looked at Zhao Dan with some envy, and thought: "This kid, his life is good, he was blessed by misfortune, and he also got a piece of territory and became a lord, and there are more than 100 people under him, and he is in a good mood!" ”
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Hai Tianyi say to himself: "Miss Jing, she is straightforward and righteous, worthy of admiration, on the west side of the Hanshan Territory, there is a Ziyang Territory that has not yet been divided, and now it will be given to Miss Jing, from now on, Miss Jing will be the Lord of Ziyang, and at the same time reward 100 taels of gold and 100 slaves." ”
Jing Xiaotian didn't expect that such a good thing would also come to him, so he immediately opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything at all, Hailan couldn't help but remind: "After receiving this great favor, don't hurry up and thank the prince!" ”
Zhao Dan and Jing Xiaotian couldn't help but glance at each other, and they had to bow their heads under the low eaves, although they were a little reluctant, they had to kneel on the ground and say thank you.
Haitian felt that the people in the mountains and wilderness had never seen much of the world, so he did not blame them for their poor manners.
After thanking him, he handed over the two gold tokens to Hailan, who sent them to Zhao Dan and Jing Xiaotian.
Jing Xiaotian grabbed it and took a look, the workmanship of this gold medal was very exquisite, the moire loop, endless, and the center of the gold medal was rightly carved with a few strong characters of the Ziyang Lord, and she couldn't help but laugh happily.
I thought to myself: Wow, now not only do I have land, I have slaves, but I also have social status.
turned his head to look and found that Zhao Dan, who had never cared much about anything, was actually constantly rubbing the gold medal in his hand, and he was obviously very cherished.
Jing Xiaotian saw that everything had been done, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Lord, please forgive Xiaomin for being rude, when he left home, he was in a hurry, and his mother must not be at ease, now that he has received a generous reward from the prince, Xiaomin wants to go home immediately and tell his mother the good news, so that her old man will be happy and happy." ”
"Okay, Lord Ziyang, filial piety is commendable, after drinking this bowl of wine, this king will allow you to go home to report the good news."
Hai Tianyi seemed to be in a good mood, he actually picked up a bowl of mare's milk wine and drank it all, and then looked at Jing Xiaotian with a smile.
Jing Xiaotian also picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and a wave of stubbornness surged up, and he secretly said in his heart: I can't drink, can't I get drunk? The prince is all dry, how can I do it if I don't drink it?
I was just about to drink it all, but suddenly remembered something, put it down again, raised my face and looked at Hai Tianyi and said, "I really want to drink it all in one go, but this wine is really spicy, can I drink it a little bit?" ”
Jing Xiaotian succeeded in selling cuteness, and she actually made Haitian laugh: "Okay, this king allows you to drink slowly." ”
"Thank you, by the way, before I get drunk, I still have one more thing to figure out?" She said, lowering her glass again.
"What else is going on with you?" Hai Tianyi asked.
"As the Lord of the Purple Sun, what do I have to hand over to the Great Cangbu every year?" Jing Xiaotian asked very seriously.
But in my heart, I thought: If there are too many things to hand in, if it is not cost-effective, this lord should not be wanted, lest I have to deal with such a moody and murderous person, and I have to kowtow and kneel, carefully accompanied by a smiling face, so that my little heart is worried, up and down, and tormented.
"In your Ziyang Territory, you need to hand over 30,000 pieces of soap, 100 sheep, 10 horses, and 5 slaves every year."
Hai Tianyi said very easily.
When Jing Xiaotian heard it, he didn't know whether there were more or fewer things, but he simply calculated that 30,000 pieces of soap, if it was sold for one tael of silver in the capital of Beiyuan Kingdom according to Jin Daya, it would be 30,000 taels a year!
A broken territory turned himself into a cash cow for Hai Tianyi, and he was too calculating.
