Li Jiawang knelt down on the high platform and kowtowed three times in the direction of the ancestral hall. The 120,000 troops and 300,000 city residents also kowtowed three times. After the salute, Li Jiawang stood up.
, returned to the center of the high platform, and stood still facing the cold north wind in winter. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians also stood up, and then stared at Li Jiawang with their own eyes, waiting for him to speak.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who were staring at him, expecting him to say something to them, Li Jiawang cleared his throat and said, "From today on, every year in the future, I will lead all the managers of the Lord's Mansion to
Offer sacrifices here and bless those who died. At the same time, I set up an organization in Zhongyi Hall. This organization is responsible for managing Zhongyi Hall and distributing compensation and allowances to the relatives of those who died fighting for the territory.
, the relatives of all those who died fighting for the territory will be taken care of by the Lord's Mansion, so that these people who died for the territory will not have any regrets."
Hearing Li Jiawang's words, the wives and old people whose husbands and sons had died burst into tears. Their lives were settled and they would not lose their source of livelihood because of the death of their sons and husbands. And those soldiers were
They felt a lot more relaxed. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that their families would not be able to live after death. Although the lord had said before that he would support their relatives, these soldiers were still a little skeptical because the nobles in this world were too hypocritical.
It was contrived, but now they unconditionally believed that their lord would fulfill his promise. I wonder if there is any lord in this world who would kneel down to those untouchables and despicable soldiers in their eyes.
Regardless of the touching scene in the audience, Li Jiawang continued, "I am announcing here that from now on, the residents of Maple Leaf City will only pay commercial taxes and no other fees."
After hearing Li Jiawang's declaration of tax exemption, the residents of Maple Leaf City who were watching from the side suddenly let out loud cheers. The Maple Leaf Army in the army also followed up with a cry from their hearts. Their homes are also in Maple Leaf City, and they also
Being able to enjoy this preferential policy, the surrendered troops from the Am-ng tribe and the reorganized 100,000 troops also began to think about whether they should move to Maple Leaf City in the future.
Next, Li Jiawang said something more about military construction, territory construction, and the future development direction of the territory. In the process of speaking, he brought waves of surprises to the audience, and caused a wave of surprises.
There was a burst of cheers, and finally he ended his speech amidst the cheers of everyone. After stepping down, Li Jiawang thought with a wry smile that today was a memorial ceremony for the dead. How could it be that it was as lively as a gala party!
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, all the memorial activities ended with the cooperation of everyone. Li Jiawang also got on the carriage and rushed back towards Maple Leaf City. An army of 200,000 was also commanded by commanders at all levels.
Next, we left here in an orderly manner and returned to the military camp. The adventurers who were watching and the residents in the city were also digesting the shock that Li Jiawang had brought to them today, while talking to their companions, they rushed back to the city.
Everything that happened today, like a plague, spread quickly in Maple Leaf City and the entire territory. With the reports of caring people, it quickly spread to the ears of all those who care about Haishen Territory, bringing them a lot of
Doubtful and shocked.
When the old man from Snow Mountain and his apprentice returned to the hotel where they lived, and were about to rest in their rooms, the owner of the hotel immediately came up and said, "You two, please stay."
The two old people from the Snow Mountain stopped immediately, looked at the hotel owner, and asked him his purpose with his eyes. The owner saw the two people's behavior, but he didn't play tricks and said respectfully, "Someone from the Lord's Mansion said, Sir Lord, please
You two went to the mansion to get together, and I'm waiting for you somewhere now." After saying that, he pointed with his hand to a person sitting next to the hotel, wearing the clothes of a servant of the lord's mansion, staring directly at m-n's mouth.
Hearing what the hotel owner said, Old Snow Mountain was a little surprised, but he did not hesitate at all. He walked up to the servant of the Lord's Mansion who came to see him and said, "I am Old Snow Mountain, are you here to find me?"
"Yes, I came to meet you at the mansion on the order of the lord. Please follow me." The servant said respectfully to the old man in the snow mountain. He knew that this man was a strong man in the holy realm.
The Lord of the Lord's Mansion came to him this time, and he must have thanked him for his help that time. The servant was still very grateful to the Old Man of Snow Mountain for helping the Lord's Mansion against the enemy last time, so when he spoke to the Old Man of the Snow Mountain, he was extremely respectful.
When the old man Xueshan followed the servants of the Lord's Mansion to Li Jiawang's living room, Li Jiawang immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "Things in the territory have been very busy recently. I didn't have time to thank you for your help last time. I specially invited you here today to express my gratitude."
We thank you for taking action last time."
"Lord, you don't have to be polite. Even without my intervention, I believe that with the strength of the lord's mansion, we will annihilate all the enemies in the future." The old man from Xueshan replied calmly.
"Please sit down. Without your help, although we can annihilate them all, my wife may lose her life. You don't know something. At that time, the blood demon appeared and the situation was critical. My wife was preparing to commit suicide to avoid being attacked by him.
When I was captured, you suddenly took action to block the blood demon, thus saving my wife's life. As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Let alone this life-saving grace, I don't know what you want, I will try my best to satisfy it.
Yours, so as not to keep owing favors and my wife and I will feel uneasy." Li Jiawang said in a touching tone.
"What the lord said is serious. I only stopped the blood demon. I don't have such a big contribution. As for saving the madam's life, it was not my fault at all. It was the fate of the madam. How could the lord do that at that time?"
If I don't come back in time, my own life will be in danger, let alone my wife." The old man from the Snow Mountain shook his head and said, he didn't want to accept that favor.
Li Jiawang smiled lightly, and then said, "I'm just talking here. How can I call you an old man?"
"My real name is Murong Wudi. Lord Lord, just call me Mr. Xue." Mr. Xue said as he picked up the teacup on the table. After speaking, he put the tea into his mouth and tasted it.
"Xue Lao, why don't you call me Lord Lord, just call me Jiawang." Li Jiawang had a good impression of Xue Lao and said in a friendly manner.
After Li Jiawang chatted casually with Mr. Xue for a while, he put away his relaxed expression and said with a serious face, "I wonder what Mr. Xue does for coming to our Haishen Territory. Is he here for tourism?"
Seeing that it was time to get down to business, Mr. Xue straightened his clothes and replied with a serious expression, "Of course not. The purpose of my coming here, you should have guessed, is to get the recipe for liquor."
After hearing this, Li Jiawang smiled and said, "I can't give you this. I have already sold the liquor formula to the Star Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing that the liquor formula had been bought by the Star Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Xue did not show any disappointment. Instead, he looked at Li Jiawang with his eyes and said, "After seeing the strength of the Lord's Mansion, I have no desire for the liquor formula."
Now I just want to ask the lord for some liquor quota so that my family can make a small amount of money. I wonder if the lord can agree."
Li Jiawang was not surprised to hear that Mr. Xue only wanted the liquor quota. However, when Mr. Xue said that he wanted to make money for the family, Li Jiawang immediately realized that this might be an opportunity, so he said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Xue,
Didn’t I ask you to call me Jiawang? Calling me Lord Lord seems so fruitful! Since you want the liquor quota, I can give you this. I wonder how much Xue Lao can digest."
Hearing Li Jiawang's question, Mr. Xue's face changed slightly. He really didn't know how much his family could accept! He had always practiced by himself and traveled around alone. How could he know about his family?
What's the specific situation? When he came here this time, it was the clan leader who begged him to come, saying that the family's situation was not good, and that he should get the recipe for liquor, or the liquor quota, so that the family could earn a sum of money to provide for the younger generations of the family.
