Slavery is an issue that cannot be bypassed, and it is the key to determining the future of the dragons.

Liao Qiu couldn't help but smile, after all, the relationship between him and Tianhao was not ordinary: "Your Highness, listen to your meaning, you want to control the alien race from the identity?" ”

"Yes!" Tianhao suddenly became very serious, and he looked directly at Liao Qiu: "If nothing changes, the Fifth Legion will be stationed at Shenwei Fortress for a long time. Because of the region, you and your men will inevitably have more contact with white Southerners. I have only one request for you: no one is allowed to have sex with white women. ”

Liao Qiu replied with a smile: "This is absolutely impossible. They were too short and too ugly. Our fighters do not like Caucasian women. ”

"It's not going to be as simple as you think." Tianhao's tone was still serious: "This is very important, you have to face the reality. There are all kinds of problems that can arise when you are stationed for a long time. If, and I'm talking about, if it's discovered, or if some Caucasian woman becomes pregnant because of this, or even gives birth to a mongrel that shouldn't exist in this world...... As the commander of the fortress, it is your duty to be the first to die! ”

This was said very seriously, and Liao Qiu and the others felt unprecedented pressure. He put away the smile on his face, straightened his feet, and said respectfully and seriously, "I will obey your orders." I swear to the gods that I will never let filthy Caucasian women pollute our warriors, and that noble blood will always remain pure. ”

……

Despite the exhaustion of the whole day, Tianhao still did not snooze, and got up from bed the next morning, dressed and washed.

At lunchtime, the Marquis of Savidin was led into the room by his attendants. He bent down and saluted to Tianhao, who was sitting precariously, and the latter smiled and raised his hand to the chair opposite: "You're welcome, sit down!" ”

The Marquis of Savidin sat down cautiously. The huge dining table was not suitable for him, and in consideration of the height of the guests, the attendants deliberately added feet to the chair of the Marquis de Savitin, and added additional steps made of wood. In this way, he can maintain a normal sitting posture for eating.

The main course has not yet been served, and only a few plates of cold dishes are on the table, as well as candied fruit and dried fruits. Tianhao picked up the glass containing the red wine and gestured across the table: "This is the wine from three years ago, you will like it." ”

The marquis took a sip as he said, and couldn't help but light up in the eyes. The quality of the sake is very good, slightly sweet, and the complex and varied taste in the mouth is intoxicating.

"It's the best wine I've ever had." The Marquis of Savidin complimented, more of which was a compliment.

He is used to having to have an aperitif after a wine tasting. In front of him, there is a full set of knives, forks and cutlery, and of course, a pair of chopsticks is indispensable. Watching the young giant king sitting opposite him pick up a little cold dish with chopsticks and chew it slowly, Savitin did the same. He picked up his chopsticks and gestured awkwardly in his hand, and for a moment it was difficult to find the trick to use them, so he simply gave up, and instead picked up the silver spoon he was familiar with, and scooped a few peanuts from the cold food plate.

The soft-boiled peanuts taste very good, the salt taste is moderate, and it is slightly sour, but it is delicious.

Savidin nodded while chewing, and asked seriously, "It tastes so good, it's the first time I've ever known of peanuts like this." ”

Tianhao took a sip of the wine glass: "This is called old vinegar peanuts." ”

He did not deliberately explain what is called "vinegar" in English, and directly said the word "old vinegar" in Chinese. Anyway, if you can understand it, you can listen to it, and if you don't understand it, even if you don't understand it.

This is a privilege reserved for the winners.

"Fishing ...... Coarse? "The pronunciation of the Marquis of Savidin is not standard, and the words do not reach the meaning. He gave up on verbal communication and went straight to his own pressing concerns.

"Your Highness, I am extremely sorry for the previous acts of war. Your magnanimity is touching, and my army and I have launched an attack on the Kingdom Alliance, at your request. Now, the war is over...... Hmm, pls when can I leave and move on to the next phase of business cooperation? ”

The Marquis spoke cautiously, for fear of angering the young giant king.

"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow!" Tianhao said it very casually, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Receiving this affirmative reply, Savidin quickly got up from his chair, rested his right hand on his left shoulder, and said respectfully and gratefully: "Thank you! May the Lord bless you. ”

Tianhao looked at him calmly, without revealing the sarcasm hidden in his heart: "Let's talk about the upcoming business cooperation between us!" ”

The Marquis of Savidin sat down on the chair, which was also the topic of his greatest interest, so he smiled: "Your Highness, I don't know what you have to ask for this?" ”

Tianhao is also laughing: "We need all kinds of commodities, especially meat and grain. ”

"We have the largest herd of sheep in the world, and no country can compare to cows and horses. Praise be to the Lord who has given us a land of abundance flowing with milk and honey. We have a large stockpile of grain, and it is abundant. The Marquis boasted and flattered, "The first transaction is important, and it will be the basis of our friendship between us." I can promise Your Highness right now that I can give you the best price for both meat and grain. ”

"Thank you!" Tianhao raised his glass and greeted with a smile.

After returning the salute, Savidin asked seriously: "I beg your pardon, my next words may seem a little rude to you, but I still have to say that we know nothing about your kingdom, Your Highness, can we ...... the goods that can be traded?"

Tianhao raised his hand and stopped the Marquis's words with a movement. He then pushed a beautiful white porcelain jar on the table in the direction of the Marquis, and lifted the lid.

It is filled with white sandy particles.

Savidin looked at it for a long time, he had never seen this thing, so he raised his head and asked with doubt, "What is this?" ”

Tianhao's answer was simple: "Let's taste it first and feel the taste." ”

Crystal clear, white, and though it is a fine particle, it has a transparency comparable to that of a diamond. The beautiful appearance, coupled with the attitude of the young giant king, subconsciously told the Marquis of Savitin that this was by no means some kind of poison. He picked up the delicate spoon placed diagonally in the white porcelain jar, scooped some into the plate in front of him, gently picked up a handful with his fingers, and sprinkled it on the tip of his tongue with nervousness and anticipation.

It's sweet, and the feeling of comfort spreads quickly from that area.

"This ...... Is this sugar? The Marquis's voice was visibly out of tune, and his face was full of shock and ecstasy.

Sugarcane has been cultivated in the countries of the South for a long time, and sugar has been refined and eaten for a long time. Dehydration and condensation are the foundation, and lumpy brown sugar has always been an essential and important part of the white table. This hard sugar cube was gradually disliked by the aristocracy because of problems such as eating, and the sugar mill operators continued to improve it. At present, flake sugar and powdered sugar are the mainstream in the civilian market of the southern continent, of course, there are also more finely crushed sugar, but in terms of color, no matter what kind of crystal white, at most can only be coagulated and crystallized by repeated purification.

Dull-yellow, or yellowish-grained sugar, is already the highest level of sugar production in the kingdoms at present.

Like this kind of pure white sugar without the slightest variegation, Marquis Savitin did not say that he had seen it, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Tianhao had given Elizabeth some white sugar before. It was given as a precious gift to the upper nobles of the Saxon kingdom to open up relations and integrate Elizabeth into high society as soon as possible. The so-called "white sugar" as a commodity is actually pale yellow, but even then it was already a rare luxury in the eyes of the Saxon aristocracy.

Of course, the pure white treasures should be kept for their own enjoyment, and in addition, the Saxon Kingdom has different beliefs from the Lord's Kingdom, so it is normal that the Marquis of Savitin knows nothing about it.

Tianhao kept a faint smile on his face: "If you like it, take it." This is my gift to you. ”

Savidin controlled his strong heartbeat and asked seriously, "Your Highness, is this the commodity you used to trade?" ”

Tianhao nodded slightly: "The price is a bit expensive, but someone must like it." ”

What the Marquis was waiting for was this sentence: "How many?" I'm going to do it all. ”

In the face of money, no one can resist its special magic. Savidin, of course, understands the truth of "monopoly". What the nobles want is superiority, as long as there are enough high-quality goods, they will buy them willingly even if they smash the pot and sell iron.

The smile on Tianhao's face was still the same: "Are you going to take a look at other goods?" ”

As he spoke, he put down his glass and clapped his palms.

The door opened from the outside, and several waiters walked in. Each person carried a silver plate in his hand, and they placed the contents of the plate on the table one by one.

Tian Hao picked up a thumb-sized delicate metal bottle Barbarian Adult Standard, pulled out the stopper, and shook out some light brown powder from the bottle: "This is a medicine specially used to replenish physical strength, and it has a miraculous effect on a large amount of blood loss. It can be eaten as is, mixed with water or broth. ”

The Marquis of Savitin understood and asked with a smile: "For women?" ”

Tianhao looked at him the same: "Men can also use it." If you are wounded on the battlefield and bleed excessively, this medicine can save your life at a critical time. ”

Savidin was stunned, and he began to look at the small medicine bottle in Tianhao's hand again: "Really? ”

"I can give you some samples, you'll know after you've used them." Tianhao smiled and tightened the cap of the bottle and handed it over.

To put it bluntly, the ingredients of this medicinal powder are very simple, and the main ingredient is the horns of the giant horned deer. The effect is natural, as long as it is ground into powder and some other substances are added, with the scientific and technological level of white people in this era, no one can see through the real formula with the naked eye.

"This is our unique black leaf tea in the north." Tianhao picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to the marquis: "Taste, there is no such thing in the south, you will like it." ”

The original black leaf tea has a weak aroma, and Tianhao has improved the frying method with the experience of the civilized era. The Marquis of Savidin picked up the tea bowl, only to feel a strong fragrance coming to his nose, the color of the tea soup was dark yellow, and the overall feeling was very good. He took a sip, his mouth was slightly astringent, but there was a very comfortable fragrance on the tip of his tongue...... Yes, not with your nose alone, but with the kind that you can taste. The smell permeated the mouth and quickly turned into a sweetness that spread upwards from the base of the tongue.

The Marquis de Savetin, although accustomed to coffee, became interested in this brand new drink.

Tianhao handed over a beautiful and delicate plate: "This is porcelain." ”

The plate is thin and has a regular round shape. The flat plate surface is smooth to the touch and feels great to the touch. The cyan pattern is so beautiful that you can't put it down just by looking at it.

The Marquis of Savidin memorized Tianhao's Chinese pronunciation and asked suspiciously, "Is this?" ”

"Blue and white porcelain." Tianhao smiled like a profiteer: "Don't you think this kind of porcelain plate is better than a silver plate?" It has a much better texture than metal, clean and beautiful. I believe that it is not the kingdom of God, not even any king, or nobleman, who have never seen such a blue and white porcelain plate. ”

The marquis felt his heart pounding, and he stared straight at the porcelain plate in front of him: "How can this thing be sold?" ”

"I'll give you a satisfactory price." Tianhao then picked up an apple-sized jewelry box, opened it, and poured all the contents on the table.

Savidin was stunned.

There are more than 20 large and small gemstones. Diamonds, agate, opal, garnet...... It is evident that these gemstones have been selected for their shape and purity. They lie quietly on the dining table, refracting a seductive light.

The Marquis did not speak, he raised his head and cast his inquiring gaze to the young giant king.

"We have an old proverb that those who know the times are the best ones." Tianhao picked up a blood-red agate from the table, and turned it nimbly at his fingertips, his sharp gaze pointing directly at Savitin. He specifically explained the special meaning of the word "Junjie" in English: "I can not blame the past for the past." People, you have to look ahead. I'm glad you made the right choice at a critical time. Your wise decision saved you and your army. And, of course, won my friendship. ”

"It's a gift for you." Tianhao smiled and gently placed the gem in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of the marquis: "I still have a lot of these things. As long as you and your king are willing to spend money on it, everything is negotiable. ”

Savidin felt the corners of his eyes twitch.

These are real gems. With the eyes of the marquis as a high-ranking nobleman, even if he didn't pick it up and distinguish it carefully, he would definitely not be mistaken. More importantly, he believed that the young giant king would not joke about such things, nor would he take out a pile of useless glass to deceive himself.

"Your generosity is impressive." The Marquis once again left his chair, stood up, and said solemnly: "I swear to the Great Lord that from this day onwards the Kingdom of the Lord will be an ally with you. ”

Tianhao's smile looked very charming: "You can make a decision in place of the king?" ”

"I see your sincerity in protecting peace." Savidin was resolute: "You're right, we're friends, forever. ”
