Chapter 291 It's Too Embarrassing for Him
At this time, Jiang Lili spoke up: "The soldiers of the navy were conscripted into the army, leaving their homes and setting foot on foreign lands. They haven't been reunited with their families for three months, and many of them haven't spent the New Year with their families. They deserve this reward!"
Her voice was cold and compassionate, very infectious.
After Wen Qiao had a private chat with He Lin in the group, he got the estimated value of this box of treasures in ancient times. Although these things are precious and rare, their value is far from astonishing as it is today.
The monetary system of the Mi Kingdom was not perfect. Apart from gold and silver jewelry, it usually relied on barter.
Wen Qiao said in a clear voice: "This box of tribute will be exchanged for grain, oil, rice, flour, or calves and lambs. Soldiers can choose according to their needs!"
The navy commander was very considerate and immediately began handing out thank you cards, not even giving the king time to react: "Everyone, thank the goddess for your compassion, and thank the king for his generosity!"
——"Thank you, Goddess!"
"Thank you, King!"
The sailors' voices shook the sky.
With sincere respect for Jiang Lili!
When they were on Haizhou Island, the food was better than ever before and they also received better training.
Divine Envoy Wen Qiao and the Crown Prince taught them how to better protect themselves on the battlefield, but the royal family of Mi Kingdom would only ask them to rush forward and the royal family members would only hide behind them.
The morale of the Yakuni navy became more and more united.
The king, who used to be amiable, smiled uglier than crying.
The goddess and the envoy not only did not ask the people of Mi Kingdom to pay tribute, but also gave the treasures presented by the king to their navy as reward funds! They were so kind!
This is the true incarnation of God.
The king's smile froze for a moment. He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. These people were willing to exchange this box of rare treasures for military pay to reward these civilians? !
There must be some fraud in this!
But right now, he had to maintain his friendly and kind persona and not expose it in person.
But there is still a long time to go, and there will always be a chance to expose that these gods' messengers are just talking big!
Master Liao was watching the two sisters singing the same tune and was very impressed. Li Li's idea was really smart.
Anyway, they have to support the troops and help the families of the Mi Kingdom navy to improve their living conditions. With their sister Li's generosity towards her own people, the people of the Mi Kingdom tribe will not be treated badly.
Any one item from this box of treasures could easily cover half a year's military expenses.
Moreover, maintaining troops and comforting relatives are investments rather than pure consumption. This is a two-birds-with-one-stone approach.
Wen Qiao sent someone to take the treasure box away.
The king was heartbroken when he saw the rare treasure passed down from his ancestors slipping away from him!
He would never let this group of scheming people succeed.
This box of treasures will temporarily stay with this group of people!
His hands and heart felt empty, and the king gritted his teeth and forced himself to smile.
He made an inviting gesture to Jiang Lili and Wen Qiao: "Lady Goddess, Divine Envoy, we have prepared a welcome feast, please move over."
"No, we plan to arrive in the morning just to get things done more quickly. The goddess not only protects your country, but also has affairs in other places to take care of."
Wen Qiao refused out loud. There must be something fishy going on at this banquet. This old fox must have set up a thousand tricks waiting for them.
The sooner they gain control of the Seashell Ranch, the sooner they can feel assured, and the faster they can supply Xiaopang with large quantities of pollution-free seafood.
Wen Qiao said seriously: "Take us to the handover of Haibei Ranch now, and ask your men to prepare the ivory whistle."
Jiang Lili and others have heard from the navy commander that the Seashell Ranch is very large, and different areas produce different things, making it very difficult to manage it in a unified manner.
Therefore, the first king of Mi Kingdom divided the seashell ranch into thirty areas of different sizes, and assigned them to thirty royal members of Mi Kingdom to manage, and they were required to provide tributes to the king every year.
Each of the thirty royal family members holds an ivory whistle of a different shape.
The token of the owner of the Seashell Ranch is the ivory whistle, and different ivory whistles produce different tones.
As long as the ivory whistle is blown, all the cattle, sheep and horses in the pastoral area can be controlled, and the hired herdsmen in the pastoral area also listen to the orders of the ivory whistle.
Jiang Lili and the others were already eager to get the whistles from these royal members and take over the Haibei Ranch, but they had no time to devote to the Hongmen Banquet.
The King of Mi was not surprised at all to hear Wen Qiao's refusal.
"Lady Goddess, I have anticipated that your time is precious."
The king had a flawless smile on his face. “So we set up this welcome banquet and invited all the royal family members from the thirty districts of Seashell Ranch.”
The king's arrangement surprised Jiang Lili and her group. It was so respectful and considerate.
They all doubted whether they had misunderstood the king's intention just now. The king did not test them, but offered gifts sincerely.
"I have already told them to bring their whistles. You don't need to go to so many places."
The king looked calm, as if he was thinking about Jiang Lili and the others: "Just show up and we'll give you the whistle."
Wen Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "Then please trouble the king to lead the way."
Jiang Lili and his party went to the welcome banquet, while the large navy force, along with the craftsmen and herdsmen, settled down in the area from Lutan to the royal city and began to take over the most important port of the Mi Kingdom.
The navy now also has fifty fire poles, which are assigned to fifty soldiers who are accurate and trustworthy and were carefully selected by Wen Qiao.
The royal guards who were originally responsible for controlling Lutan were reluctant and had a dispute with the deputy admiral of the navy.
As the royal security, the Royal Guards naturally looked down on this civilian navy, with a kind of condescending arrogance.
The king took Jiang Lili and her group away. He vaguely heard the sound of an argument, but pretended not to hear it. He just quickened his pace and took Jiang Lili to the welcome banquet venue.
"boom--"
At this time, the deputy admiral of the navy was too lazy to waste time shaking hands with the royal guards, and simply picked up the fire pole and fired a shot into the sky.
The deafening sound of the fire rod exploding was like thunder out of the blue, which frightened the king so much that his whole body shuddered. He turned back with a horrified face.
If Jiang Lili and her group had not been as steady as a rock and not at all panicked, he would have wanted to run away without caring about his image.
There were already royal nobles in the welcoming group he led who had done the same. At this point, four or five of them had already run a long way away before they realized something was wrong.
They looked back at the king in confusion, and saw that Jiang Lili and the others were calm and nothing happened here. Then they stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
The king closed his eyes. These people were really embarrassing him!
Especially compared with the people brought by this goddess!
