Chapter 31: The Inside Story of the Exchange Competition
"I'm! I'm!"
Zhou Zhengde walked out of Juewei Building and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Young Master, don't be angry, blame them for not recognizing the 'Loyalty Order', otherwise, there would not be such a big misunderstanding. ”
But Mr. Han is very happy.
"What? What the hell is that 'Loyalty Order', how can it be so powerful?" Zhou Zhengde asked unconvinced.
"Young Master, this 'Loyalty Order' is only two pieces in the entire Great Zhou Empire. One is the word 'loyalty', and the other is the word 'righteousness'. These two tokens represent the Loyalty Hall of the Empire. Mr. Han said.
"What? You said that this 'Loyalty Order' represents the Imperial Loyalty Hall?"
This time, even Zhou Zhengde was taken aback.
Although he didn't understand this 'Loyalty Order', he knew this Loyalty Hall clearly.
He remembered very well that just a few years ago, his father took him to Cangshan Zhongyi Hall, and he didn't even see the faces of the two sect masters. His father wanted to leave him in the Zhongyi Hall to cultivate, but what he didn't expect was that the other party was just a hall master, so he dared to refuse sternly and didn't give him any face.
Even in the end, the king of Beihai County took out the handwritten letter of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the other party was still unmoved.
It was on the way back that Zhou Zhengde learned that this Zhongyi Hall turned out to be the patron saint of the Great Zhou Empire. The two sixth-level talismans of the entire Great Zhou Empire are all from the Zhongyi Hall. And the two hall masters of Zhongyi Hall are even more unfathomable.
If it weren't for the deterrence of Zhongyitang, I'm afraid that the entire Great Zhou Empire would have been annexed by the Qianyuan Empire long ago.
Don't say that you are a small county king, even if Your Majesty of the empire comes, you have to be quite polite.
"Young master, we are really lucky. Fortunately, the other party is only two teenagers, if someone else follows, we are afraid that we will be in trouble today. It's just a mere forty military sticks, which is really nothing. "Mr. Han is naturally very jealous of this Zhongyi Hall.
"Who are they? How can they have the word 'loyalty'? Send someone to check it out at once, and besides, check it out, what is the purpose of their coming here? Don't let them mess with our plans. Zhou Zhengde said.
"Okay, my subordinates will send someone to do it right away. Mr. Han said.
“......”
"This is the 'tongue war', right? haha...... It makes people have an appetite when they see it!"
In a short time, the guy brought a dish.
In the middle of the jade plate, a lark carved lifelikely, spreading its wings, as if it was about to soar into the sky.
Around this lark, ten tongues are evenly dispersed, with different shapes. Above, I don't know what material was used, it was brilliant and fragrant.
"Tongue battle all over the world, welcome guests to taste!"
"Haha...... Good, good, so delicious! Ten more plates!"
He opened his mouth wide and took a bite and applauded. However, the sentence of ten more plates made the guy tremble.
This thing is the entire Juewei Building, and it only sells ten plates a day. It's not that I don't want to sell, but I really don't have so many ingredients.
"Brother Li is the commander of the Sharp Knife Battalion, so can Brother Li introduce us to the Sharp Knife Battalion. ”
Han Dong is not as delicious as opening his mouth wide, and he talked with Li Bin.
"Huh...... Well, to be honest, our Sharp Knife Battalion has only one purpose, and that is to have a biennial exchange match with the Qianyuan Empire. Unfortunately, in the past few years, we have been unfavorable and have lost three times in a row. Li Bin said.
"However, with you joining us this year, and the madman from the Tenth Squad, maybe our Sharp Knife Battalion can win this year's competition. Moreover, our Great Zhou Empire can't afford to lose. Li Bin said.
"Can't afford to lose, isn't it just an exchange competition?"
"Of course. As you don't know, this exchange is just a way to bet. Do you know that between our Great Zhou Empire and the Qianyuan Empire, there are five big cities, which have become a buffer zone between the two sides, communicating with each other. ”
"These five cities, located between the two countries, are very prosperous in commerce and have huge tax revenues. The two sides decided the tax ratio of the five cities through an exchange competition. In each game, the winning side will add two percent on the original basis. If it's a small win, it's a plus of 10%. Not only that, but the losing side will also be compensated ten times the stake tax. Five years ago, our Great Zhou Empire already had seventy percent of the tax revenue, but now, there is only one percent left. ”
"It is because of the successive defeats of our Great Zhou Empire that our tax ratio for these five cities is only 10%, and a large amount of income has been lost, coupled with years of indemnity, resulting in the flooding in the north of our empire last year, and the treasury has no extra money and grain for disaster relief. ”
"If we lose again this year, we will completely lose the tax revenue of these five cities, and it also means that we will lose the land of the five cities. If these five cities are occupied by them, they will cheat on their taxes, and in the future, our reparations will be even greater. The tax burden on our citizens will also be even heavier. Li Bin's expression was very solemn.
"So that's the case, no wonder you won the exchange competition and was able to be crowned king. Han Dong Han Dong nodded again and again.
"In the past few years, the empire has made up its mind, created the Sharp Knife Battalion, increased military spending, and must defeat the Qianyuan Empire. Therefore, the mission of this sharp knife battalion is the most dangerous, but the welfare is also the best. When you enter the Sharp Knife Camp, you can eat meat in large pieces and drink a lot of wine! However, it is also the most dangerous, and you will die for a lifetime. However, as long as you can get a place in the exchange competition, you will be able to meet all your requirements. The resources of the entire fortress will be tilted towards you. If you can win the Exchange Match, you will be able to tear the earth and become the king. Li Bin said.
"So that's the case, no wonder a victory in an exchange competition can be crowned a county king. Han Dong nodded secretly.
"How is it a complete victory, how is it a small victory?" Han Dong asked again.
"To win all is to win the individual, the squad and the field. A small win is a best-of-three game. Li Bin said.
"Don't worry, our brothers are out, one top two. You just wait for the emperor's reward. By the way, why don't you fight the world again?" opened his mouth wide to eat, and called continuously.
"Half-heartedly, please taste it!"
Fortunately, it was another famous dish 'half-hearted', which blocked the mouth with a wide open mouth.
“......”
"The people are here, and they haven't come out yet, so you must keep up later, and don't let this fat sheep run away. I've seen it all, this is a big fat sheep, and it has at least tens of thousands of gold dollars on it. ”
In the corner not far from the Juewei Building, the triangular eyes with their mouths wide open to ask for directions, with a group of people, were staring at the door of the Juewei Building.
