Zhi Xuan

The wind and snow rested for a while, and the team continued to set off.

Zhao Hao stayed in Zhixuan's car, leaving only halfway through the journey.When he went back, his blue hair was scattered, and the cloak on his body was also different.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and they had a new understanding of their marriage alliance.

Prior to this, most of the princes thought that the marriage of the two was driven by interests, in order to end the dispute and stabilize the northern border.After today, most people change their perceptions.Anyone with eyes can tell that Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao are very close, even if it was a political marriage at the beginning, now they are all in harmony with each other, singing in harmony, a couple of gods and gods.

After careful consideration, the cautious princes had to give up their thoughts.At the same time, I was glad that I was cautious enough and didn't act rashly to send beauty to the two of them.

Their purpose is definitely not to provoke, nor is it to covet the position of the heir, but to hope to take advantage of the pillow wind to hug their thighs and pave the way for the future.

I don't want the plan to be completed, but fortunately the matter was not completed, and I didn't have time to give it away.

"fortunately."

The two monarchs of the small country sighed in unison, with fear in their voices.

The teams of the two countries happened to be walking side by side, and the king's car was not far away.The two looked at each other through the car window, froze at the same time, and quickly turned their heads as if nothing had happened.He kept his mouth shut about his own thoughts, not daring to let others notice.

If you are not careful, the consequences may be unbearable.

It's not unfounded worry, let alone persecution paranoia.

There will be no fools who can secure the position of the monarch and fight the clan for three hundred rounds in the power struggle.Even for a small country with only two or three cities, the vision and wisdom of the monarch are extraordinary.

At first, everyone didn't realize Zhao Hao's purpose, they only thought that the two were close.As the team moved forward, observe the reactions of most people, especially some people who like to take a shortcut to send the United States to marry. Seeing their performance, the rest can't help but suddenly realize.

The original purpose is here!

The Marquis of Bei'an snorted and found Zhao Hao when he was camping. He looked up and down at his son in a red robe, and glanced at the cloak hanging in the tent. If he read it correctly, the collar of the cloak was embroidered with the totem of the Yuan family. Who speaks for itself.

Looking at the pearls on Zhao Hao's hair, the colored gems on his ears, and the jade ring on his waist, the Marquis of Bei'an's smile deepened, and he patted Zhao Hao's shoulder with great satisfaction, saying: "My son is smart, well done!"

Having been in the position of Marquis for more than [-] years, Marquis of Bei'an is very aware of the style and methods of some vassal states.

They don't necessarily have bad intentions, they just proceed from the perspective of interests, in order to stabilize the alliance and hug their thighs.

Generally speaking, Zhao Hao and Zhi Xuan had a special marriage alliance, and they were destined to have no children.In order to avoid trouble, concubines and concubines are not allowed to have children.

There are not a few people who are tempted, and it is too troublesome to refuse one by one, and it may also bury hidden dangers.It's far better to cut through the mess with a sharp knife and solve it once and for all.

Zhao Hao used practical actions to show the princes that his marriage with Zhi Xuan was unbreakable.Whoever dares to send a beauty, regardless of gender or whoever it is, will be regarded as provocative or even provocative.

It was precisely because he understood what he was doing that Zhi Xuan left him in the car.

Originally thought it was an expedient measure for outsiders to see, but unexpectedly, Zhao Hao was not polite at all, and carried out the goblin style to the end.The beauty couldn't take it anymore, Zhi Xuan gritted his teeth and "invited" Zhao Hao out of the car, and if he didn't leave, he would do it!

Seeing that Zhixuan was determined, Zhao Hao had no choice but to get out of the car from Shanruliu and return to his team honestly.Although it is a bit regrettable, fortunately, the goal has been achieved.Besides, the future is long.

The cold wind lifted a corner of the cloak, revealing the black inside.

The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled meaningfully.

When the car door was closed, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, Zhi Xuan put his hands behind his waist, grinning while rubbing his teeth.

After a while, the soreness subsided a little, and Zhi Xuan leaned against the wall of the car, thinking of the beauty whose face was still flushed by being grabbed by the hair, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

"Fairy!"

Passing through a small abandoned city, the team stopped to rest.

The knight who explored the road returned, saying that the road ahead was covered with snow, and there were tigers roaring in the forest, so it might be inconvenient to drive at night.

"There is an order from the emperor to return to the camp, but not today."

"promise!"

At that time, the princes gathered in Zhixuan's big tent, and there was a small cauldron in front of each of them, and the soup in the cauldron was boiling.

This type of tripod was originally used to hold stewed meat. After the chef's skillful hand, a copper stove for burning charcoal was added below to become an alternative version of hot pot.

Sliced ​​meat and poultry are served on a plate, as well as rare vegetables in winter.

The monarchs imitated Zhixuan's action, picked up the meat slices and put them in the cauldron, rolled them up after changing color, put them in their mouths, dipped them in special sauce, and the delicious taste exploded instantly, filling the taste buds.

tasty!

Eating like this in winter is a hundred times better than stew.

The monarchs didn't care much about talking, and the speed of chopsticks was like a whirlwind, and the meat and vegetables in front of them were emptied in the blink of an eye.

A batch of cattle and sheep were unloaded at the kitchen, and the kitchen was busy preparing fresh meat. It took more than an hour to meet the needs of the princes, and the monarchs were satisfied and put down their chopsticks.

The tables were taken down one after another, and the waiters brought sweet soup, drinking it can not only digest food but also relieve tiredness, everyone was very happy.

"This soup..." A monarch took a sip, savored it carefully, and showed doubts.

The soup has a sweet taste but not choking. It is not the honey that is often drunk, nor is it glutinous rice or licorice.The color of the soup is also a bit weird, if you don't trust Marquis Xiyuan and know that he will not poison the soup, the monarchs may not be able to drink it.

"It's sugar." Zhi Xuan drank the sweet soup, put down the soup bowl, and answered everyone's doubts on the spot.

sugar?

The monarchs looked at each other in blank dismay, full of doubts.

"Excuse me, my lord, what is sugar?"

Someone raised a question, Zhi Xuan ordered his servants to fetch the sugar bowl, and opened it in front of everyone, not only explaining the purpose of the sugar, but also the source of the sugar.

Zhao Hao's face was as usual, not like everyone was surprised.Zhi Xuan used sugar beets to make sugar, and he had written to him a long time ago and invited him to join.He accounted for [-]% of the first batch of sugar produced.

The Marquis of Bei'an also heard about it, but because he didn't inquire about his identity in detail, he has not been able to see it with his own eyes. Today is also the first time to taste it.

As for the Marquis of Dongliang, the land where Zhi Xuan planted sugar beets originally belonged to Dongliang, which was ceded after the National War.Although the forces have been withdrawn, there are still three nails on the wrecked ship, and he can hear some rumors about Xiyuan Kingdom's various actions.

Marquis Dong Liang couldn't figure out Zhi Xuan's move to grow vegetables on a large scale instead of growing grain.Later, he was busy attacking Dongyi, so he had to put the matter aside and did not try to find out.

The land no longer belongs to Dongliang, no matter what Zhi Xuan wants to plant in the land, even if it is abandoned, it has nothing to do with him.

Now that the answer is revealed, and looking at the reactions of everyone in the tent, the Marquis of Dongliang can't help but sigh.

Take one step and watch ten steps, the wisdom of Xiyuanhou is not as good as him.

"There is no need to find bees or consume food, and you can get sugar by cooking vegetables."

In the beginning, Zhi Xuan really wanted to monopolize the business, at most he would add Zhao Hao, and give Hou Bei'an some soup.

I don't want the plan to change quickly, and the alliance of princes is on the agenda. When opening up, the countries are bound together and must be united, at least in the early stage.This requires the maintenance of interests.

After careful consideration, Zhi Xuan decided to share the sugar interest.

Hearing the string song, he knew the elegant meaning, and Zhi Xuan let it out, and everyone in the tent immediately guessed his plan.

Contrary to Zhixuan's expectations, the monarchs were very interested in sugar, but none of them wanted to grow sugar beets, let alone obtain sugar production methods. They only hoped to buy sugar from Zhixuan, enjoy it for themselves or trade it with foreign countries.

Witnessing everyone's reaction, Zhi Xuan was puzzled for a while, and then he slapped his head, thinking of the clan's unique style and family precepts.

Under the dominance of family-oriented values, the clan will not easily covet other people's things.It's not easy to tear faces between the same class, unless you want to make a deadly enmity.If you go down, you will be deceiving, and you will be shamed by the clans all over the world.

In the era of etiquette, the clan must observe etiquette in every move.

There are very few people who let themselves go like Zhixuan and dare to dance on the bottom line of the times.This is also an important reason for Zhixuan's polarized reputation.

In-laws will be more relaxed.

The essence of the good relationship between the two surnames is the unity of the family, helping and supporting each other.It is not surprising that some interests are exchanged and some concessions are made.

Without such a condition, no matter how greedy the princes are, they would not want to take a piece of the pie from Zhixuan.

Zhao Hao and Zhixuan have a marriage alliance, and the next [-]% benefits will not be burdened, but they will also be replaced by compensation from other benefits.

The Marquis of Bei'an is Zhao Hao's father, and he and Zhixuan are considered relatives.However, Zhao Hao separated from the Bei'an Kingdom and is now the King of the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

On the matter of sugar production, Marquis of Bei'an made it clear that he did not need Zhixuan's special care.With him as a model, others can't take profit, and they must strictly abide by clan etiquette to the end.

Knowing everyone's plan, Zhi Xuan didn't force it.

It's okay to change the plan, but it's just changing from a profit giver to a wholesaler, from sharing part of the benefits to making a lot of money.No matter how you look at it, he earned it.

As for the maintenance of interests, you can think of other ways.

The monarchs don't grow beets but want to buy sugar, and there is a heated discussion about the share.

Zhi Xuan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.When everyone was bearded and staring, he turned his head to talk to Zhao Hao, and mentioned rice and sugar cane in the south.

Sugarcane can also be used to make sugar, but it is a pity that it was introduced in a small quantity and rarely known.At present, it is only circulated in the upper strata of the southern vassal states, and it is called "Zhe".

The monarchs were discussing so heatedly that they completely forgot the time.

The results of the final discussion may not satisfy everyone, but fortunately most people can accept it.Zhixuan took the opportunity to throw out sugar cane, saying that the south can grow, mostly wild, the monarchs were very tempted, some southern princes offered to give up the profits, and finally set the regulations.

Holding the temporarily engraved bamboo slips, the monarchs were very excited, and most of them stayed up all night.

The next morning, the road ahead was cleared, and the team continued to set off.

As the cold wind howled, everyone was getting closer and closer to the auspicious place.

Zhi Xuan pushed the car door open, a gust of cold wind swept in, the instant chill made him wrap his cloak tightly, and his mind became clearer.

In the white snow curtain, a tall altar can be vaguely seen.

The altar is located in the east of the auspicious place, and the location is determined by the witch after divination. It is specially built for the alliance.

The entire altar is more than five meters high, comparable to a city wall.The foundation is rectangular, and the four sides are trapezoidal, which becomes narrower as it goes upward.The top is very flat, and there is an earthen platform for offering sacrifices, and the tripod has not yet been erected on the platform.

When everyone in the team saw the altar, they knew that the destination was close at hand, and the cheers were deafening one after another.

The sound attracted the vanguard troops stationed in Xiangdi. Seeing the flag fluttering in the wind and snow, they immediately echoed and slammed their shields and shouted.

The sound wave swept across the wasteland, like a mountain roaring like a tsunami.
