Under the sincere persuasion of Viscount Tatedu, Zhang Lisheng, who had vented his anger, seemed to gradually regain his senses, although he still muttered in frustration, "I am now a government official of Earth China, what use is the territory of Roman Continent? It's better to detoxify me quickly" But his attitude softened.
"My friend, no matter what your identity is, a rich territory is of great value and will definitely bring great changes to your life." Knowing that the black-haired young man in front of him was already attracted, Lord Tatedu said forcefully. Holding back his excitement, he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Gold and gems are precious treasures everywhere, aren't they.
According to the laws of Roman Continent, even if you don¡¯t live here in the future, you can appoint trusted people to take care of your territory and collect income regularly.
¡°Just imagine, as long as the Tate Dominion exists, you and your descendants will receive at least a hundred pieces of gold every year. This can ensure that your family will be the top people in any ¡®world¡¯ for generations to come.
As for the ¡®Honesty Powder¡¯, please rest assured that as long as I can stand up, the antidote will be delivered to you together with the letter of title and the letter of cession of territory. "
"It seems that I have no choice at all," Zhang Lisheng pondered for a while with a gloomy face, and said weakly with a wry smile: "Taoist disciples with rapid healing power are standard equipment for the protection personnel of the Chinese mission. We There are also two members of the mission.
However, since Lord Tate is not yet a formal ally of China, it is difficult to directly order those Taoists to treat the Viscount's injuries, so he can only plead in roundabout ways. It¡¯s best to let them bring it up.
"Well, the power of Taoist priests comes from both their own cultivation and the inheritance of the sect. If their religion can be spread in the Tate City"
"This is impossible, Director Zhang Bingqi. For thousands of years, Roman warriors have only believed in three things, the power of their fists, the weapons in their hands, and the beasts riding on their crotches. This is the most glorious tradition and the foundation for warriors to rule the continent.
¡°If the Viscount allows fictional gods to have a higher status than ¡®warriors¡¯, then the disaster he faces will not only be as simple as abdication. The lords of the entire Roman Continent will attack 'Tatedu'. There are no such examples in history! "Etefago interrupted the black-haired young man's temptation and categorically refused.
Hearing this, Zhang Lisheng finally understood why the Romans, whose social system was still transitioning from slavery to feudalism, did not regard the powerful and incomprehensible Atlantis battleship as a miracle. Instead, he bravely launched an attack. Even though there have been speculations about this kind of thing. Still can't help but feel a bit frustrated.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbgs Out Viscount Tatdu, whose mood was so high that ordinary people could hardly imagine, suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Preaching among Tatdu soldiers or even civilians is absolutely not allowed, but slaves can be accommodating.
Of course, it is impossible for a lord family like me, the 'Tate Family', which is famous for its martial arts for generations, to allow slaves to have faith. But if, my friend, you become Sir Roman and own your own territory, you want to I will not prevent you from preaching among your own slaves. "
"Sir, you" Hearing Lord Tatedu's unnecessary compromise that seemed to have no bottom line, Etfugo's always calm face finally changed color. However, when he saw the Viscount's bloodshot eyes, his eyes wide open, there was a hint of madness. Her eyes were filled with color, but she swallowed back her words of objection and obstruction.
Zhang Lisheng on the side was naturally ecstatic, but on the surface he remained calm and sighed: "Actually, it does no good to me at all to let those Taoist priests preach in the 'Roman World'.
I am an atheist and do not believe in ghosts and gods. The reason why I just said that is for the sake of Lord Viscount. Well, after the delegation has settled down in Tatedu in two days, I will quietly talk to the Bureau of Religious Affairs. ¡¡±
"We don't have that long, Director Zhang Bingqi," Etefango quickly regained his calm expression and interrupted the black-haired young man again in a low voice, "It's best that you can persuade those people early tomorrow morning. The companion who possesses magical power treats the Viscount's injuries."
"Are you in such a hurry? But it's better to do this, so as to save you a long night and many dreams." Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a while, "Then the plan will be changed. I have to discuss it with Director Shi Hongwei first.
Lao Shi seems to be unkind, but in fact he treats me quite well in private. It shouldn¡¯t be a big problem to let him turn a blind eye at the expense of face, and then I will talk to the Taoist priest from the Religious Affairs Bureau as the deputy leader. Let's talk about the conditions and things will probably work out, but they are afraid that their magic ability is not enough and they will not be able to heal the Viscount's injury.
¡°Sigh, if you had told the truth earlier, I would have tried my best to bring Taoist priests with higher cultivation levels here. ???
"We didn't expect Sir Holstein to achieve such a brilliant victory. We thought that the Viscount's position was still stable for the time being and that everything could be arranged slowly. This was indeed a huge mistake." Regarding the complaints of the black-haired young man, Etter Fa Ge nodded in approval, "Then tomorrow everything will depend on the power of your lips and tongue, Sir Zhang Bingqi."
"It's too early to call me Sir, Master Etfugo." Zhang Lisheng was stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I have a premonition that you will succeed, my dear Sir," the great wise man Tatdu said with a gentle smile for the first time in front of the black-haired young man: "It is already very late now, let Lord Hedlund take you first. Go back and rest. I will draft the letter of title and the letter of cession of territory here, and let the Viscount stamp it with his seal. I will wait for your good news.
"How can I possibly sleep in this situation," Zhang Lisheng sighed, "Then I will go back to the room and think about how to make peace with Director Shi and the Taoist priests from the Religious Affairs Bureau after dawn.
Hey, I hope things will work out. ", bowed to the two important figures led by Tatedu, turned around and followed the assistant to Viscount Tatedu back to the secret door.
When the figure of the black-haired young man disappeared in the secret room, a gloomy look appeared on Etfugo's face that looked uncertain in the shaking firelight, and he suddenly said: "Lord Viscount, if Zhang Bingqi is really here in the future. To the Romans in your enfeoffed lands"
¡°Old man, although our ¡®Tatedu¡¯ has always counted slaves in the population because it is only a subcounty, can slaves actually be regarded as human beings?
I still remember that during the serf uprising in the Northern Enit Plantation twenty years ago, I once led a cavalry warrior to hunt down thousands of slaves without any injuries in one day" Before the great wise man Tatdu came to his rescue, After finishing speaking, the lord lying on his side said nonchalantly.
"But when he saw Etfugo's rare cold expression, his tone changed: "Don't worry, teacher, I know what to do, tradition is tradition, and I will not let the name 'Tatedu' be shamed.
But the most important thing now is to let those outsiders heal my wounds, and then suppress the rising arrogance of Holstein. We will talk about the future in the future. You can draft the letter of title and the cession of territory first. "
"Where will the fiefdom be divided, my lord?" Etefago knew that the lord he was loyal to at this time only had one thing left in mind: healing the wounded, so he asked no longer wordlessly.
"I've thought about it carefully. If we don't need too much land, we can just find a fertile valley in the Xirei Mountains. Well, I remember there is a town like this near the Red Shrimp River, right?" Viscount Taterdu thought for a moment and asked. road.
"Yes, sir, that town is called Green River, with a radius of 2,500 paces. There are 1,500 slaves planting rice and fishing for you, and supporting about 80 families digging iron ore and smelting refined iron. civilians and twenty warriors." The wise man Tatedu took out a map drawn on animal skin from his arms, looked at it in the dim firelight, and replied.
"Fifteen hundred slaves, eighty households, twenty warriors, 2,500 paces of irrigated land for growing rice, fisheries and iron mines, it's really a nice town" For a lord noble For him, the most precious thing was land. Even if he was willing to pay all the costs to treat his injuries, when it came time to cut off the land and ennoble him, Viscount Tatedu still couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance.
But soon reason overcame instinct. He sighed and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Teacher, rename Green River Town in the Xi Lei Mountains to 'Zhang Town' and cede it to Zhang Bingqi's fiefdom."
"Yes, sir." Etefago nodded, took out two stacked blank animal skins from his sleeves and spread them on the ground. He began to sit cross-legged and write the letter of title and the cession of territory with charcoal.
After he finished writing, he hunched over and handed the animal skin, which symbolized his noble status and huge wealth, to Viscount Tatdu, and warned in an unprecedented serious tone: "Don't forget your promise, my lord, please don't Shame on Tate."
"I can do it, teacher." Lord Tatdu, who rarely taught anyone a lesson after he was a boy, couldn't help but change his face when he heard this. He nodded and replied in a muffled voice, took the animal skin and put it in his clothes. sleeve.
At the same time, Zhang Lisheng, who returned to the stone bedroom, was in a completely opposite mood to Viscount Roman, thinking about what to do next after having an almost perfect start.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the time suddenly became unbearable. Finally, at dawn, there was finally some light in the sky. Before the morning sun shone through the stone window, Zhang Lisheng got dressed, went out in a hurry, and rushed to the leader of the group. Outside the door, a brass bell rang.
The bell only rang two or three times before the stone door was pushed open from the inside, revealing the mentally exhausted face of the white-haired old man.Pang, "Director Zhang, why did you get up so early?"
"Director Shi, I didn't get up early, but I didn't sleep all night like you," Zhang Lisheng said with a fake smile: "I was tossing and turning last night and couldn't sleep early, but suddenly I got a new idea, and I wanted to talk to you quickly. Let¡¯s talk.¡±
"Then come in quickly." The old man turned sideways and let the black-haired young man into the room. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
