Chapter 364: Rounding up is a hundred million
In fact, in many racial cultures, including human beings, as a king, is willing to marry an "inferior person" as a queen, which is a big event worthy of publicity.
The historian will publicize this kind of thing as the king's benevolence and fraternity, and the enemy will publicize this kind of thing as the king likes to rob the people and prostitute their wives and daughters, the men will envy the great power of the king, and the women will envy the lucky girl......
On the one hand, this illustrates the asymmetry of human rights, and on the other hand, it also illustrates how convenient it is to have power.
On this basis, the king's "acceptance" of such a thing will always attract the attention of many people.
Many kingdoms like to use marriage to strengthen their relationship with a certain country, whether it is military, agricultural or commercial trade, and sometimes, the marriage with a powerful country is a great joy that can make some small countries celebrate.
No one cares whether the girl who is married out wants it or not, they only care that their country has a strong backer, their life will become more peaceful, and they will even glorify the girl's sacrifice and selfless devotion in various records - no one knows that the girl was probably stuffed into the carriage crying.
After all, he can be regarded as a person who has studied history class, and Don is very clear about such a thing as marriage, but he didn't expect Barod to propose marriage.
Again, the subject is Tina.
Tina was visibly terrified.
Don didn't think that Barod would like Tina, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Barod say, "Although you human women are ugly. She is tall and feather, and she is weak, but I am willing to marry her as one of my queens, which will make our cooperation more stable. ”
Hear here. Donn breathed a sigh of relief, even more sure that Barold didn't like Tina.
The idea of his marriage was politically motivated, to make the relationship more stable.
If Donn was a cold-blooded and ruthless politician, then he would definitely agree to it for the sake of maximizing his interests, but unfortunately, he was never a qualified politician.
Don turned his head and asked, "Tina." Would you like to marry Barod? ”
Tina bit her lower lip, tears rolling in her eyes, a moment later. She nodded and said, "If your lordship means it, I do." ”
"No, that's what you mean."
"In other words, do you like Barod? ”
How is that possible!
Tina shook her head vigorously.
That is to say. You don't want to marry him anymore? ”
Tina nodded tearfully.
"So." Don shrugged at Barod and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to grant your request for marriage, of course, even if we can't marry, we can trade." ”
"Shhhh Surface creatures without vision! ”
Of course, Barold didn't like Tina, but this was a surface woman, and as a king, he could marry a surface woman as a queen. Of course, it will make his prestige higher among his subjects, and at the same time, it will also expand his harem. Why not?
He took a sip and said very dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with me?" Can't even look down on me? Know I'm the most popular here! I have the prettiest beard! The most powerful force! The purest bloodline! ”
The prettiest beard is placed in the front, which means that the beard is the most important scoring? Lineage is the least important?
Donn shrugged his shoulders and gave Barod a step down: "Perhaps, it's because your beard is so beautiful that Tina can't appreciate it." ”
"Again, humans can't appreciate the beauty of beards."
Brian and Barrod had a rare common opinion, and nodded involuntarily.
Elijah looked at Brian, then at Barrod, touched her bare chin, and then at Donn, and suddenly wondered what it would look like if the big brother had a big beard.
She thought for a moment, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
After Don gave Barold a step, even if the marriage matter was revealed, Tina finally relaxed and could eat in peace, and for a while, there was no smell of gunpowder in the room.
"It was the most satisfying meal I've ever had in my life!"
After the meal, while tasting the fruit dessert in the can, Barold concluded with satisfaction: "I am looking forward to the food you brought us. ”
Tang En said with a smile: "I won't let you down, not only that, if we sign a trade contract, we will continue to trade grain with the Red Grottoes in the future, and you will no longer have to worry about the lack of food." ”
"Humph! Do you think I'm going to be so stupid? ”
Barod said to Don with a sneering expression: "The grain trade is good, but if we rely on you all our food, once you deliberately stop the delivery of food, we are afraid that we will face severe famine and death immediately, right?" While it's a bit out of place to bring this up now, I have to say that as the king of the dwarves of the underworld, this is something I have to think about. ”
Even if Ellington were able to provide more food for their dwarves underground, they would have to have their own place to produce food, and that lifeblood could not be left in the hands of anyone else.
Don was stunned, he didn't think about it that much, but of course he knew this, what Barold said, of course, was also what Don was most worried about, no matter when, grain production capacity is one of the most basic and important indicators of a country, Ellington's grain production capacity is seriously insufficient, this situation has been improved after the birth of combine harvesters and seeders, and the power of Grandia has greatly slowed down the possibility of famine in Ellington this winter.
In fact, thanks to the advent of canned food and the fact that Grantia has been working overtime to harvest a large amount of food in a short period of time by overdrawing the fertility of Ellington's land, the inhabitants of Ellington have been able to live their first well-fed winter this year.
"You're thinking too much, but I understand what you're thinking. Because I'm also a ruler. ”
Don was still smiling and groaning, so that Barod couldn't see what was going on in his heart.
"It was better to do so."
Barod licked his lips as he finished the last piece of fruit in the can. Feeling the sweet taste, he said to Done, "Now, let's go and hand over the food." ”
Tang En then stood up: "Of course, please prepare a large enough warehouse for me, you should understand that nearly 100,000 tons of food is not a small amount." ”
Although the specific figure is 71,000 tons. But Barod didn't have a way to weigh it? With such a large amount of goods, it was impossible for him to re-weigh them one by one, so of course Tang En blew it into the big one.
Others stayed. Donn and Barold went to the warehouse, and Barold asked as he led the way, "One hundred thousand tons?" How much is that? Is it a unit for surface humans? ”
Tang En said with a smile: "That's right, it's our general unit, for the convenience of our trade." Wait a minute, I can give you a specific document and tools. ”
Due to the information gap between the two sides. If Don was treacherous enough, he could have done something about unit conversion and then made a surprising difference from it, but Tang En knew a thing deeply.
Honesty is the foundation of everything.
If he had been trading with the idea of exploiting the dwarves from the ground from the beginning, it would not be long before the two sides would have fallen apart.
Since there is the possibility of mutual benefit. Then there's no need to be too greedy.
Anyway, his goal is to use the abundant mineral resources of the underground dwarves to expand Ellington's production capacity.
Soon, Barod led Don to a huge underground warehouse: "How? If not enough, there are several. ”
"These should add up to enough."
This warehouse houses a lot of dried mushrooms. It looks like a warehouse for the dwarves to store food underground, very huge, but most of the space is unused, the size of a parking garage, and a few more can of 70,000 tons can be completely placed.
"Back off."
Don took a step forward and stretched out his hand, and a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared in the space above, and then, those cans were ejected, and they flew out in the magic track set by Don and landed steadily in the warehouse, and soon piled up into a small mountain.
Watching more and more cans fly out, Barod's frowning brow finally relaxed, these days, no one knows how much pressure he has, the death of those gargoyles will make the underground dwarves completely disqualified from the Demon Abyss Competition, unable to participate, they will not be able to compete for the ownership of the cave that can grow food, and once they enter the dry period, they will starve to death a lot of people.
Now that Don En has arrived as promised, he has finally solved the urgent need.
The next step is to find a way to recapture the monster, domesticate it from scratch, reach the minimum standard of participation as quickly as possible, and make a last fight in the competition.
Don En released the can and said, "We said that it was food for 100,000 people for three months, and we made precise calculations and deductions according to Brian's amount of food, and came up with a figure, a total of 900,000 gold coins worth of food, a total of 71,000 tons, but in order to show our sincerity, we brought a total of 100,000 tons of food this time. ”
Although the extra part is the weight of the iron box and water, Don feels that he is not lying at all, he has not said it ruthlessly, this is a hundred million if it is rounded up!
When Barod heard this, he was immediately ecstatic, the impact of the huge good news made his hatred for Tang En disappear at once, although he did kill his own demonic beasts and caused the underground dwarf kingdom to suffer heavy losses, but now he has expressed his apologies with practical actions, not to mention that those demonic beasts may not be able to let him win so much food in the Demon Abyss Competition.
With such a powerful mage and such a sincere apology, could he refuse?
The most important thing is that if you don't accept good intentions, you can't beat it......
Accept his apology and establish bilateral trade relations, which is his only option.
Don kept smiling, and this is what he wanted: Although I made you cry, I want to apologize for not allowing you to refuse, I traded with you to apologize, and I was taking care of you.
As for what happens after accepting trade......
Have you ever heard of a cultural invasion? (To be continued.) )
