Chapter 49: Face-to-face
Before Deacon Feng left, a herald came to the door and conveyed the news that he would punish the Qi family for ten times the tribute. The www.biquge.info is about hundreds of thousands of gold, which is about equal to the output value of the cities in Rudi for ten years. If you calculate it accurately, it may reach the tax revenue of Linjiang City for 50 years.
Ten times the punishment, which is indeed a bit heavy. However, Hirata already knew at this moment that this punishment result was just the handiwork of the Jiang family in Windy City, and such a high purpose was just for Jiang Shangyu's small profit of tens of thousands of gold.
Indeed, although these tens of thousands of gold are also a huge amount of money, they are much smaller than the hundreds of thousands of gold that will be fined to the Son of Heaven. But the Windy City Jiang family miscalculated the object, Hirata is not an object that can be kneaded, and he will stab the other party in turn.
Hirata ordered Qi Ming to represent the Qi family and send the herald's kind words away, and first made a procrastination trick. Wait for the afternoon to meet the Son of Heaven before dealing with this decree.
The afternoon arrived quickly, and Hirata only brought Jiang Shangyu and Qi Ming, and waited neatly in the compound. The latter two, both holding a rather large wooden box with a beautiful carving, if you open it, you can see that it is covered with precious silk cloth.
However, these are secondary, and on these silk cloths, there are several glazed products, bottles, bowls, and some small pieces of jewelry.
According to the view of the main world, these things are not even comparable to glass, they are simply shoddy, but in this world, when the glass was made by craftsmen in Rudi, it was once considered a gift from the gods, and some people even thought that this glass might be the "five-colored stone" created by the gods to create the sky.
These two boxes of glazed products are truly priceless in this world, and Hirata took them with them to dedicate them to today, which is the key to solving the dilemma of the Qi family in Rudi and the future of the Holy Academy in the national capital and even the layout of the world.
If those money fans of the Jiang family in Windy City knew that Hirata and the others still had these rare treasures, they would definitely regret making trips for Hirata in secret, these glass treasures, one of them was originally prepared for the Jiang family in Windy City, and now they have bribed the Son of Heaven.
The three of them didn't stand long before the deacon of the Feng family came over with a carriage bearing the Feng family's logo. On the one hand, you can enter the inner city, and on the other hand, you can cover it up a little, after all, there are too many eyes and ears of the Jiang family secretly.
"My lord, please get in the car. The deacon of the Feng family got out of the carriage and personally opened the curtain for Pingtian, and everyone looked at it, there was quite a lot of space inside, and it was more than enough for four or five people.
Hirata let out an "um", and when he got into the carriage first, several people entered in turn.
"My lord, I heard that the herald gave you an order this morning. Deacon Feng asked, a little concerned in his tone.
"Yes, it's not in the way, after all, when we have to meet the Son of Heaven later, there is still room for things to turn around. Hirata chuckled, casual in his tone.
"The herald's attitude is also very arrogant, and when I inquired later, it turned out to be the Jiang family of Windy City. Qi Ming picked up at this time.
Deacon Feng nodded: "Some people say that the biggest in Windy City is not the Son of Heaven, but the Jiang family. ”
"Why is that?" Qi Ming said curiously. He didn't understand the logic of this, in the eyes of this nobleman of Rudi, the Son of Heaven was extremely noble, and he was the one who attracted the attention of the world, and his every move was dignified, but in the eyes of the people, he could not compare to his own vassals.
"Because the Son of Heaven is the law of the world, he never gives orders lightly and transfers specific authority to his subordinate Jiang family, because the Jiang family's power is greater than that of the Son of Heaven to some extent. Hirata instantly understood the truth and explained it to Qi Ming. In the history of the main world, this often happens, and there are countless cases of monarchs being overthrown by their subordinates, and even there is a saying among the people - "Hades is good to see little ghosts and difficult to pick".
"Oh" Qi Ming looked like he didn't understand, but this didn't affect his cognition, and the worldview in his heart collapsed slightly.
Deacon Feng looked at Qi Ming and smiled casually, not commenting on Hirata's point of view. For the Feng family, this is a kind of avoidance. The Feng family also wondered why the Son of Heaven gave up his authority to outsiders, instead of handing it over to his own people who were closer to him.
The carriage and horses walked quickly, and the inner city was in front of them as he spoke. The four of them got out of the car and underwent an inspection according to the usual practice, and the samurai guarding looked through the glass ware held by Qi Ming and Jiang Shangyu, and they all let out a sigh of admiration, because they wanted to sacrifice it to their own family master, and the attitude of these people towards Hirata and the others suddenly became cordial.
Hirata smiled, unimpressed. In fact, it was expected that he would be able to gain the favor of these people, and before getting off the carriage, Hirata burned about a hundred standard divine powers, and used a prayer technique to affect the senses of those around him.
One hundred standard divine powers, not too much, not too much, not too much, almost one-fifth of Hirata's inventory. If it weren't for convincing the Son of Heaven, he wouldn't be willing to use so much pain. The goal of accumulating 50,000 copies of standard divine power, the plan to revive the godhead jade plate, seems to be even more distant.
The place where the Son of Heaven works is the palace where the dinner party was held on the first day, called Fenglin Palace, this palace is very majestic, and it can easily accommodate hundreds of people.
After several rigorous inspections and several praises, a few people finally walked into Fenglin Palace, with a high line of sight, over a few steps, Feng Tianzi was sitting in a dress. I saw that this son of heaven was wearing a dark robe embroidered with phoenix patterns, with a purple ribbon tied around his waist, and his body was strong and powerful.
Seeing the Son of Heaven, Hirata led Qi Ming and Jiang Shangyu to perform a half-kneeling salute, but fortunately, there was no kneeling in this world, and the half-kneeling was still within the range of Hirata's acceptance.
"Closer to each other, look left and right. The Son of Heaven sat far away and ordered Hirata and the others to come forward and speak.
As soon as these words came out, Hirata felt a faint power of law. He moved forward according to the command of the Son of Heaven, and found that the closer he was to the Son of Heaven, the more serious the oppression of the law became, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance in his heart.
But Xu is prayer technique had an effect, and the Son of Heaven's attitude towards Hirata and the others was not bad. He looked at Hirata, who was in the lead, and took the initiative to ask, "What are you holding in your hands?"
"Hui Tianzi, this is called glaze, which is a new precious artifact produced in Rudi. After Hirata finished speaking, Qi Ming and Jiang Shangyu opened the wooden box in their hands, and a burst of brilliant treasure came out of the box, which moved the Son of Heaven as well.
Seeing the opportunity left and right, he immediately went down the steps and took the glass and presented it. "It's rare. The Son of Heaven exclaimed. "It seems that Jiang Hongwen's news that you have engulfed the Jiang family's Sui Gong is not accurate, and the glass you present is much more valuable than the Sui Gong. ”
After listening to the evaluation of the Son of Heaven, the corners of Hirata's mouth finally showed a smile. "Back to the Son of Heaven, the subordinates still want to present something more valuable than this glass in person, and I hope that the Son of Heaven will allow it. ”
"Oh, what's it? When the Son of Heaven heard this, he immediately heard the subtext that Hirata wanted to talk about things in private.
