"I want to abolish the Jin tribe's slavery system and free the Jin tribe's slaves. What are your opinions?" Wu Dongfang expressed his thoughts.
"Should we talk slowly?" Ming Zhen answered.
"Huh?" Wu Dongfang frowned and tilted his head.
"The Jin clan has nearly 10,000 slaves. Most of them are prisoners of war, and the others are convicted prisoners. Letting them go would be detrimental to the Jin clan." Ming Zhen said.
Ming Gu said, "The wizard owns very few slaves. They are mainly owned by the King of Gold and the officers. If you want to release them, you must give an account to the King of Gold and the officers."
"Whether to drive them away or to stay? If they are driven away, whether they can find their hometown through the jungle, and how they will be resettled if they stay, all of this needs to be considered," Ming Xi said.
"It makes sense." Wu Dongfang nodded, "In this way, father-in-law, you can evaluate the pros and cons of freeing the slaves. Therefore, the Heavenly Master considers how to compensate the King of Gold and the officers if the slaves are released, and the Xitian Master considers whether to drive away or keep them. , how to resettle them if they stay.”
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. Whoever made the suggestion would handle it.
"Killing King Lu Wu Jin has been of great help this time. I will go to the palace, meet with King Jin, and tell him the outcome of the matter." Wu Dongfang stood up.
The three of them nodded in agreement and left the hall with him.
"Come on, come on." Wu Dongfang waved to the prince and rice bucket who were lying on Jingshan Mountain basking in the sun.
Hearing his call, Fantong walked backwards down Jingshan Mountain, rolling down the steeper places below.
"When will King Bear grow up?" Wu Dongfang asked with a frown.
"In the past, the Bear King would not reach adulthood until about ten years after his death." Ming Gu said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. It has been four years since he found Fan Tong. Counting the time when Fan Tong nursed with the female panda, it should have been five years. In other words, it will be five years before Fan Tong can activate the protective silver armor. This has nothing to do with him. The original promise to the three elders of the Jin clan that they would not use troops within five years coincided with the plan.
"Your Highness, let's go to the palace with me." Wu Dongfang waved to the Prince who was lying motionless.
Ming Zhen and others said goodbye and went ahead. After the three of them left the house, the prince ran over.
"You are afraid that others will not care about me. You two go ahead and don't always bring me to the public eye." The prince said.
"What the prince said makes sense," Ming Yue came over and handed a cloth bag to Wu Dongfang, "Take it with you and give it to King Jin."
"What are you giving it to him for?" Wu Dongfang frowned and did not answer. The bag contained Lu Wu's inner elixir.
"If you kill Lu Wu, you must provide evidence. Don't worry, he will return it after the public celebration." Ming Yue said.
Wu Dongfang raised his hand to take the bag, nodded to the prince, and took the rice bucket out and walked to the palace.
Although it is already autumn, it is still very hot in the afternoon. The area where the Jin people are located belongs to the south, and the temperature is not low in winter. There are still many people on the streets in the hot afternoon. People at this time live a very poor life. In order to support their families, they need to spend a lot of time. It is a luxury for them to work without stopping and take a nap.
Wherever he and Fantong went, all the Jin clan members would kneel down, which made him feel awkward. In the past, the White Tiger Celestial Master might not show up much, and he was very mysterious in the eyes of the clan. Compared with the previous White Tiger Celestial Master and the Bear King, He is much more harmonious with the noobs.
In order to express respect for the White Tiger Celestial Master and the Bear King, the stall owners and shopkeepers on both sides of the street will take out all kinds of food and deliver it with both hands. The rice bucket is not organized and disciplined, and does not care about the people's needle and thread. I will go there to eat.
In desperation, he had no choice but to carry the rice bucket and fly eastward, and only put it down near the palace.
"What can you do in the future?" Wu Dongfang looked down at the rice pail.
"Yeah." Fan Tong looked up at him.
"Hmm, let's go." Wu Dongfang walked toward the palace gate.
King Jin once ordered that he could enter the palace directly without being notified. The palace cannot be compared with the Royal Palace. The palace is not big. After passing through two palace courtyards, you can reach the main hall where King Jin works. This guy may have heard the news from some wizard and knew that he After returning from victory, I also guessed that he would enter the palace in the afternoon and wait for him in the main hall.
Official greetings, official congratulations, official congratulations, official talks, Wu Dongfang stayed patiently for half an hour, left the inner elixir, woke up the mess and said goodbye and left the palace. He didn't say anything about the slaves, but actually with Jin. Wang's report was just a formality. As long as he proposed it, King Jin would not disagree, but only if all the details were arranged.
Returning to the Jinsheng Tianshi Mansion, the prince was still lying down on Jingshan Mountain. Wu Dongfang waved to him, and the prince ran over and entered the main hall with him. He sat down on the top floor of the main hall. From a high place, he could overlook half of the capital of the Jin tribe. , there is wind at high altitude, very refreshing.
He didn't hide anything from the prince, and told him everything about last night, including the gunpowder matter.
He said this to the prince not simply to satisfy the prince's curiosity, but to hear the prince's opinion on the matter. Everyone has a fixed way of thinking. No matter how careful a person's thinking is, there are things he can't think of. The cunning prince is just picking up things. The best candidate to fill the vacancy.
"Gunpowder cannot be used easily in the future." The prince frowned, "The ratio of this thing is too simple. If used too many times, the news may be leaked. If others learn it, we will have no advantage. Don't use it easily. Save it for later. Critical moment."
Wu Dongfang nodded, "If the Tu tribe knew that I mainly relied on gunpowder to kill Lu Wu, they would know that I am nothing now."
"That's right. In the eyes of outsiders, you are not good at it now. In fact, you are just a piss. Sha Tu Celestial Master blew it once, and Sha Lu Wu blew it again. The boss is swollen, but it is empty inside." The prince said.
"Can you give me a nicer analogy?" Wu Dongfang glanced at the prince.
"You must put away the remaining qi-boosting pill. It's useless if I want it. Keep it for yourself. I'm afraid you won't be able to get it in the future. You have to rely on it to attack Taixu and Taixuan." The prince said again.
"You have suffered a lot with me. I have to do something for you. What do you need?" Wu Dongfang said sincerely.
"I eat and drink well here. Everyone is polite to me. What else do you want? You don't have to worry about me. I will tell you if something happens. I won't be polite to you. "The prince said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "There are still about twenty days until the enthronement ceremony. I want to arrange the trivial matters before the ascension. As soon as the ceremony is over, I will start to retreat."
"You have to wipe your butt clean before retreating," the prince said.
"What do you mean?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The prince wrinkled his nose, "Tu Clan, if you don't handle the affairs of the Tu Clan well, you won't be able to retreat. They will try their best to cause trouble for you and make you come out every two days to deal with the trouble."
Wu Dongfang nodded, jumped down, and brought up half a jar of wine left over from lunch. The prince wrinkled his nose because he wanted to drink.
He grabbed the jar and poured the wine for the prince. The prince was not polite. He lowered his head and drank it all. He pouted with happiness on his face and said, "It's a good life."
"Go on." Wu Dongfang urged.
"What did you say?" the prince asked.
"Tell me how to wipe my butt." Wu Dongfang said.
"Oh, you have to explain to the Tu tribe and let them see your attitude. You are like a mist now. Not only the Tu tribe, but also the other three tribes don't understand you. You have to have an external image and attitude. ." The prince said.
"In your opinion, what attitude should I show and what image should I establish externally?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"First tell me what your ultimate goal is." The prince said.
"Free the slaves and unify the five races." Wu Dongfang said.
"Do you want to be Emperor Xia?" the prince asked.
"I don't want to." Wu Dongfang shook his head.
"Tell the truth." The prince curled his lips.
"I really don't want to. I'm extremely uncomfortable being a White Tiger Master, and it's even more awkward being an emperor. I don't like doing that. I'm going to support Shaokang in his rightful place. He is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and has good moral character. Let him be the emperor. It's just and legitimate. "Wu Dongfang said.
"This thing is not easy to handle, both ends are warped." The prince's eyes rolled around, "If you want the Tu people to stop harassing you in a short time, you have to let them look down on you. As long as you act stubborn and do not listen to advice, If you are eager for quick success, they will look down on you and not take you seriously. But if you really do this, Si Shaokang will also look down on you, and he will not come to you if he looks down on you. "
"It's too tiring for you to do this. They were able to kill all the babies born in the Jin tribe just to kill me. It shows that they have regarded me as a serious problem. It's useless for me to pretend. I can't paralyze them." Wu Dongfang He shook his head and said.
"You are right, but it will be difficult to deal with this," the prince curled his lips, "The people who went to the Tu tribe to deliver the corpse will be back in a few days. We will ask the Tu tribe about their attitude then."
"There is nothing difficult to do. If they kill one of us, I will kill a group of them. If they kill our wizards, I will kill their wizards. If they kill our civilians, I will kill their civilians." Wu Dongfang said.
"Okay, I'm relieved if you think so. I'm afraid you have the kindness of a woman." The prince praised loudly.
"No." Wu Dongfang said sternly. There is an old saying that a general can achieve great success. Generals from ancient times to the present are all ruthless characters. When the Japanese invaders led the people to attack the city, the soldiers still opened fire, otherwise they would wait for the enemy to enter. If we enter the city, more people will die.
"How to treat the other four tribes depends on their attitudes during your enthronement ceremony. Their attitudes are unclear now," the prince said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Five years of recuperation are necessary. Even if I advance to Taixuan, I will not start a war casually. The two unique skills of the Jin clan Holy Witch have been lost. I have to find a way to get them back. Otherwise, when I get to Taixuan, Xuan Xiuwei is no match for the Tu Clan’s Xuanhuang Celestial Master.”
"Take your time and don't be anxious. Although you won't be able to chase stars every month and have an immortal golden body, you can survive for a while by learning from the Wood Clan's Yamu Longting and Dead Tree Fengchun." After the prince said that, he directly put his head into the wine jar.
"Everything is in vain." Wu Dongfang sighed. The Jin clan is in a mess now. The top priority is to develop productivity. To fight a war, you have to fight for money. If you don't have money, you can't fight. In addition, fertility must be encouraged, even if there are too few people.
"By the way, if Si Shaokang is really here, don't agree to him readily." The prince pulled his head out of the jar.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"I have something with him, and I must take the opportunity to get it back," the prince said.
"He doesn't even know you, how come your things are at his place?" Wu Dongfang asked doubtfully.
"It was handed down from his ancestors. Even if it's not in his hands, he knows where it is, but he may not know that it's mine." The prince said.
"What?" Wu Dongfang asked curiously.
