The old king was amused by Xia Zoe, and this request was reasonable.
He slowed down and said, "You just want to expand your territory, don't you want gold coins?"
Xia Zuoyi's eyes were as bright as stars, she raised her head and said childishly, "Will His Majesty give it to me?"
Give it all.
The old king was about to make a generous promise, but Bath Ridges spoke first.
He stared at Xia Zoe with a sharp look that could make a child cry: "The gold coins in the territory are not a problem, but the Cogit Sea is within the range of Wessas, and the sea salt is also sold and sold within Wessas. conduct… "
"You know, the gift to the king is not just a piece of parchment full of writing."
A lord is a vassal of a king or a superior lord, and has other obligations such as military service, tribute, and taxation.
The lord is the supreme ruler in his own territory and enjoys the power of administrative justice and other privileges.
For example, opening courts and prisons, setting up checkpoints, collecting taxes, etc.
The Wessas Territory is directly entrusted by the king and is a vassal of the king.
The king can enjoy the obligations of the lord, but has no right to intervene in all affairs in the lord's territory, including wars. The king sometimes has to discuss with the lord to borrow troops.
As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Bass Ridges is well aware of the enormous benefits of selling salt.
He has the intention to control, but he can't blatantly seek for himself.
After all, the Wessas Territory is not his vassal.
Xia Zuoyi took a step back when he saw him, and his little hand pulled Judit's clothes and said softly, "I can give 60% of the profit from the sale of salt to His Majesty the King."
Bath Ridges said: "As far as I know, Weissus is remote and poor. Since you want to expand your territory, you might as well directly exchange Weissus with His Majesty the King for another city that is close to the king's city and prosperous."
With Wessas becoming Borderlands, he had a chance to get it.
Xia Zoe: "But I only want Weissus."
Bas Ridges raised the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Count Desinia is smart."
"Thank you for your compliment." Xia Zuoyi pursed her lips shyly.
The old king waved Bass Ridges to the side, and ordered the attendant to bring the map: "There seems to be only one Mount Parr near Weissus... How about making Mount Parr as your territory and rewarding you with five chests of gold coins? ?"
Xia Zoe naturally agrees very much.
The formalities for the transition of the territory take half a day.
The old king asked him to play and rest in the royal city first, and later the attendants would deliver the documents in person.
After Xia Zuoyi left the royal hall.
Bas Riches said: "Your Majesty, the method of salting the sea is very important to Gadayat. If you control it, the kingdom's wealth will definitely be more abundant, it is better to use Weissus..."
The old king interrupted him: "Desinia is also my descendant, and he offered the sea salt to him, but I turned my head to take back his territory, and it was rumored that I bullied a helpless child. Where will my face go then?"
"Sixty percent of the benefits are already quite a lot. Wesas is my vassal, and naturally it is my wealth. There is no difference between them, Riches."
Bass Ridges suppressed the hidden emotions in his eyes and bowed his head: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After discussing political affairs with the king, he returned to his residence in a carriage.
The butler had already waited for the doorman, took off his coat, and brought a glass of wine before speaking: "Sir, you don't seem to be in a good mood because of government affairs..."
"Because of something I can't control." Bas Ridges said with a gloomy face standing by the window.
Butler: "It must be a very precious thing."
"exactly."
"I remember Fort Comoy being my vassal?"
Steward: "Yes, my lord, the lord of Fort Comoy is Beavis Eliot."
Bass Ridges turned around and walked to the table, took a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with varnish, and handed it to the housekeeper: "Let's have the letter quickly sent to Fort Komoy, and hand it over to Beavis Ai Lott."
"Yes, Lord Duke." The butler took over the channel.
Xia Zoe naturally didn't know the secret plan of Buzz Ridges.
He was walking around the royal city with Judit and Kelly.
Wangcheng is indeed very lively.
Apart from the unpleasant smell and the same dirty environment, not only are knights patrolling back and forth in the city, but also priests are praying in the temple of the God of Creation.
Some civilians also knelt outside the temple and prayed with their eyes closed.
There are no churches or shrines in Wiesas.
Xia Zoe was a little curious about the God of Creation, and walked in with Judit and Kelly.
Nobles can enter the hall at will, and no one will stop them.
The main color of the temple is white and gold, and the top of the temple is inlaid with Gothic glass windows.
When the sun shines through the glass windows, the mottled colors reflect on the walls to create a beautiful scene.
Xia Zuoyi saw the statue of the God of Creation standing under the dome, wearing a white robe, with loose hair, with a sympathetic smile, holding the divine flower in one hand and stroking it with the other.
"I heard that there was a miracle on the Western Continent, Judit, is this true?"
Xia Zuoyi retracted his gaze from staring at the God of Creation, and recalled the plot in the novel. With the halo of the heroine Mary Su, the God of Creation seemed to be just a background board that could not exist.
"Of course it's true."
After hearing this, a pastor turned his head to answer, and after seeing that the person who asked the question was a child, the expression on his face softened: "Please don't ask such a question again, the creator god is omnipotent."
Xia Zuoyi said in a more innocent and innocent tone: "Since the God of Creation is omnipotent, I pray to him for a lot of small gold coins, will he give me?"
The priest blushed: "How can you get something for nothing."
"But you said that the God of Creation is omnipotent."
"If he doesn't give me a little money, can he give me the ability to do what I want? Can he keep me healthy forever and not get sick? Can... "
"Please don't say any more!"
The priest raised his voice, and his face showed a feeling of suffocation, "Because you are a noble, I will be mad at me but I can't do anything about it".
"Oh."
Xia Zuoyi pouted, so she couldn't help being amused.
Parshan was about to be drawn into Weissus, which made him want to relax a little.
Behind the temple.
A handsome black-haired boy couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, his golden eyes seemed to be smashing the brilliant morning sun, and he was holding a white nine-petal flower in his hand, which was Bellranka.
"Your Majesty, the things have been taken." A knight in armor appeared behind the boy.
"Um."
The young man responded lightly, and didn't speak again until the child he was watching walked out of the temple: "Do you think the God of Creation is omnipotent?"
The knight panicked: "Of course yes, Your Majesty."
The young man smiled, noncommittal: "Let's go, leave Gadayat."
"Yes."
Xia Zuoyi went out only after hearing the noise from outside the hall.
Otherwise, he wants to stay and see if the pastor will be angry with him.
There was an incident of a noble beating a slave outside the hall.
The cause is verbal conflict.
Civilians gathered around and pointed, traders applauded or couldn't bear to watch, and knights on patrol stood by to maintain order... No one intervened or stopped the unilateral "murder" among the crowd.
The man to be killed in the middle was a tall, muscular man.
He has thick light brown hair, dark brown skin, a knife scar on the right side of his face, and blood stains on his upper body.
A young aristocratic young man smiled viciously on the side: "Use some force! Have you all eaten enough?!"
He seems to want men to experience pain and torture before dying, and doesn't want to give a good one.
The beneficiaries of the kingdom's laws did not include slaves.
And nobles have privileges, even if they kill people in the street, they will not bear any responsibility, let alone a slave who is killed.
"Clap" sound.
The club hit the top of the man's head, and blood flowed instantly.
Half of the blood dripped on the ground along the ear, and the other half slipped down the front of the forehead and flowed into the left eye.
He is like a lion wounded and dying, unable to crush his pride, his straight back is not bent at all, even if he is humiliated, he still has to hold his head high.
Seeing that the blood-stained ground will flow into a "river".
A voice came from the crowd - "Stop."
The noble youth raised his eyes and saw a child who was not taller than his thighs walking towards here and instructing a knight to stop the beating.
"Who are you?" the noble young man said in a bad tone.
"Who are you? Say your name before asking anyone."
The youth raised his eyebrows: "Nate Case."
Xia Zuoyi raised his chin: "Do you have a title?"
Nat Case sneered: "My father is Marquis Marco Case. Of course I don't have a title yet, do you have one?"
Xia Zoe: "I have."
"Count Xiazoe Desinia, please call me the count."
Nat Case froze.
He didn't doubt what Xia Zuoyi said, after all, pretending to be a noble is a capital crime.
Nat Case heard his father mention the surname Desinia, the old Desinia died unexpectedly, and the earlship was inherited by a six-year-old child.
He was… quite envious.
Did not expect to meet here.
Nat Case raised the corner of his mouth: "Count Desinia... Sir, what's the matter with you?"
Xia Zoe pointed to the man: "what crime did he commit?"
Nat Case sneered: "His sin was that he betrayed the lord as a knight, brutally killed the lord's younger brother, violated the spirit of chivalry, and was convicted of becoming a slave and sold to Gadayat."
"Sold? He's not from Gadayat?"
"That's right, he's from the neighboring country of Gaina."
Xia Zuoyi thought thoughtfully: "Are you his master now?"
"So what?"
Zoe Xia showed a sweet and soft smile to Nat Case: "Brother, can you sell him to me?"
A heart attack.
Nat Case stammered, "No, it's just a slave, I'll give it to you... ahem, two or two gold coins."
No, it can't be given for nothing, at most the lowest price.
Nat Case came to his senses at the last minute.
Xia Zoe sighed regretfully.
Two gold coins are two gold coins.
After all, he was someone who had five boxes of gold coins, and he didn't care.
