Chapter 290: Testing her with a 9-digit number?
The monthly income of an ordinary craftsman in Lingnan was less than 1000 wen, and a hen cost 50 wen. They had to support elderly parents and young children, and often had to feed several people by themselves. They were the only labor force in the family and had to tighten their belts to make ends meet. Steamed buns and pickles were their daily meals.
The craftsmen looked at the chicken soup in the pot in amazement and felt like they were dreaming.
"Oh my god, there's a whole chicken in the pot!"
"We may not even be able to eat chicken once every three months. How can you cook such a big pot for us?"
The craftsmen were so moved that they expressed their loyalty to Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili fell into deep thought. Can a bowl of chicken soup win people's hearts? ?
A box of half a fresh three-yellow native chicken costs only 19 yuan, and you can get it in the live broadcast room for 9 yuan.
A pot of coconut chicken soup with one chicken and some side dishes is enough for six people.
It's so easy to win people's hearts!
The large army ate and drank their fill and rested for a day.
On the third day, Jiang Lili, Xin Che and his party led a large force towards the Sunan Islands.
Sheng Zhixing and Master Liao also traveled with them. The pirate leader Rong Shen stayed on Haizhou Island because he wanted to promote education in the village.
With the guidance of the experienced navigator Wen Qiao along the way, and their fleet was so powerful that no one dared to provoke them, the voyage on the sea was very smooth.
About five days later, on the morning of the sixth day after departure, the sky was bright and the fleet approached the country of Mi at the northwest end of the Sunan Islands.
The terrain of Mi Country is indeed very different from that of Haizhou Island. At first glance, it is a flat road with no high mountains.
Jiang Lili and his group were preparing to land on Lutan Island at the northernmost end of Haibei Ranch. Songcheng, the royal capital of the Mi Kingdom, was very close to Lutan.
It is called a royal city, but in fact it is only half the size of a residential complex.
Looking out from the ship at this time, you can see large groups of cattle and sheep on the grassland.
Under the clear sky, they ate grass leisurely without any worries.
Jiang Lili was standing on the deck, she was wearing a pear blossom white dress with wide sleeves, her black hair was tied up with a top-quality mutton-fat jade hairpin, her face was as calm as water, and she looked like an immortal, really like a goddess.
Jiang Lili brainwashed herself in her heart. She was now a descendant of God, so she had to be aloof and cool, and her every move had to be like a fairy!
When they arrive at the Kingdom of Mi later, the messenger Wen Qiao will be her spokesperson.
But the further south they went, the hotter the weather became. When the boat docked, there were already mosquitoes buzzing in front of Jiang Lili. Jiang Lili could only stare at them. If she had known earlier, she would have sprayed some Liushen.
Xin Che looked at Jiang Lili's tense face, glaring at a mosquito seriously, and narrowed his eyes: "Is the goddess communicating with the little animals?"
Jiang Lili saw Xin Che and pretended to be angry: "Don't laugh, if you laugh I will laugh too."
Xing Rui of Xin's army was shocked to see that the prince was actually making the princess laugh. Where is their ice-cube prince?
Xing Rui was just about to pull Cheng Jiayu to complain, but when he saw Kong chatting beside him, he remembered that this useless guy was used to being a gigolo and this time he ran away with the village leader Guan Yue, and he even said that he was going to look for other Xin family soldiers scattered around, so that he could find them by following the escort agency.
Not long after the fleet arrived at the shore, a huge group of people began to get off the ships one after another.
At this time, the King of Mi, who had learned the news of the fleet's arrival, had already rushed over with a welcoming group.
Jiang Lili looked at the moving figures on the shore and said, "The king arrived so quickly!"
Wen Qiao agreed: "That's right, the notification is really timely."
When they were about seven or eight nautical miles away from Lutan, she noticed that several fishing boats were following them closely.
"Welcome to the Goddess!"
The King of Mi State was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He received Jiang Lili and his party with great respect and enthusiasm and introduced Lu Tan to them.
His attitude is just right, making people feel that he is easy to get along with.
Lutan is very close to Wangcheng, and you can get there by walking.
At this time, the king's guards escorted an exquisite silver box the size of a milk box towards the crowd.
The king opened the box and said, "Please take a look, Lady Goddess."
Jiang Lili took a look and saw that the box was filled with pure pigeon blood rubies, each worth a million yuan; seawater pearls with a peacock green hue, which were even more exquisite than the most famous Australian white pearls today, costing 12,000 yuan each. They were strung together into a long string in the box, and stacked in three layers...
In the past six months, Jiang Lili's horizons have been broadened a lot by giving all kinds of treasures to Xiaopang to trade.
Even a layman can tell that this box of stuff is the best of the best, and it would easily be worth hundreds of millions in modern times.
However, when Jiang Lili saw the treasure box, she just raised her eyelids slightly, with an indifferent expression. Her every move was elegant and calm, like a goddess.
In fact, she had already clenched her teeth to endure it!
It was just that this action made her face look even colder.
Fortunately, Jiang Lili has seen a lot of the world in the past six months, otherwise she would have failed by now.
She had already begun to suspect that the king was using these top-quality treasures to test whether she was greedy for money.
If she accepted this box of top-quality treasures right away, the royal family of Miguo would probably use this as an excuse to say that she was not a goddess at all. How could a goddess be blinded by money? Any mortal would accept this box of jewels without hesitation.
Using this to test cadres?
At this moment, Jiang Lili had already exerted the greatest self-control in her life.
She frantically sent messages in the group: [Fuck! Something worth tens of millions is right in front of me, I want it so badly!]
[But I am a goddess, I cannot accept it! @Wen Qiao, Lord God's messenger, please help me reject it, I can't control my eyes any more!]
Just when Wen Qiao was about to reply "OK" to Jiang Lili.
【@江麗麗: Wait, I suddenly thought of a better idea!】
……
After hearing Jiang Lili's good idea, the group members couldn't help but clap their legs and shout: [Jiang Lili, you are such a smart guy! ]
At this time, Jiang Lili's expression was as cold as ice. She just stared at the king without saying anything.
The King of Mi Country felt his scalp tighten when Jiang Lili stared at him. As expected, his clumsy testing skills could not hide from the eyes of the goddess.
Wen Qiao said seriously: "The goddess is here to bring welfare to the people, and does not need your mundane gifts."
The King of Mi Country heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Ordinary treasures would definitely not be of interest to this person. These treasures were selected from the treasures accumulated by his ancestors from generation to generation to test the goddess.
Now that God Envoy Wen had refused, the king was extremely happy. Just when he was about to take back the treasure box.
"but--"
Wen Qiao suddenly changed the subject and raised his voice, following Jiang Lili's idea and said to everyone: "I see that these treasures are the best of the best and extremely precious. It can be seen that Miguo is sincere. If we just accept the king's intention, I'm sure the king will think we are disrespectful to you."
After hearing what Wen Qiao said, the corners of the king's mouth slightly raised. It seemed that this group of people still couldn't resist them and fell into the temptation of the royal heirloom!
Just as he was about to come up with an excuse to accuse these symbols of God of being greedy for money.
Wen Qiao forcefully snatched the treasure box from his hand and raised her voice: "We will accept this box of gifts, but we will not use it for ourselves. We, the gods' messengers, do not need these things. This box of gifts will be used as a reward for the five thousand sailors!"
When the sailors heard Wen Qiao's words, they all looked surprised!
