Chapter 199
Dai Ting asked someone to shrink in Zhan Po's arrangement, and planned to start returning after all the rice seeds were put into the warehouse, leaving only a few people here as nails. If the trial planting of this batch of rice seeds fails, they will have to come here next year.
This time Dai Ting didn't ask for trouble, but the matter came to him.
Recently, Champo was not stable. The previous year, King Champo was killed. The people supported the king's son to succeed the throne, but they clashed with the ministers who controlled the power. The ministers did not hesitate to abolish the king's son and supported the king's daughter as king.
The queen failed to stabilize the situation. Since King Touli passed away, Zhan Po was in chaos. Due to chaos everywhere, Daiting, an outsider, had a piece of land and actually farmed with peace of mind. It was difficult not to be noticed.
No one has a safe birthday. Why should you eat and drink? You still sleep soundly at night? There have been many people coming to cause trouble in the past year, and all of them were easily blocked by Dai Ting, without affecting him carefully recording the growth cycle, variety characteristics, and expected yield of Zhan Po rice seeds.
While Dai Ting was preparing for the evacuation, a group of special visitors quietly arrived under the cover of the night. The visitors were all women, and it seemed that there was no threat at all. In fact, most of them were well-trained female guards, and they were not bad at all.
Dai Ting didn't want to make trouble, but the person in charge sent someone to send a seal in, expressing his sincerity.
That was the seal of King Champa.
Dai Ting thought that most of the rice seeds had already entered the warehouse, and that nothing would have any effect on their purpose, so he welcomed the group of guests in. The woman in the lead wore a black curtain fence, and even her body was blocked under the curtain fence. Dai Ting was not curious about their appearance, so he invited them to sit down and calmly asked about their purpose.
Dai Ting did not wear a mask when he traveled from a distance. His face was flawless and charming, but there was a bright red birthmark on his face. However, this birthmark did not affect his beauty. Instead, it seemed like God loved him very much and added a gorgeous flower to his white jade-like face.
The visitor didn't expect that this group of people could make the decision. He was too young and looked... too beautiful, not as beautiful as what the world should have. Perhaps the Buddhist son came to the world and turned into a human being, so he would have such a face? After a brief loss of consciousness, the woman in the lead took off the wall and bowed earnestly to Dai Ting: "Please help me."
Dai Ting looked at the woman who was on the ground.
Without further ado, he guessed the identity of this woman. The ship they came here this time was quite small for the caravan, and the people they brought were also elite, so they were able to enclose a place of happiness. In Champo, who is now turbulent, they were really too conspicuous, so after a group of people failed to take action against them, a group of homeless people also moved closer to them and begged for their protection.
These things are not unusual, and Dai Ting is very familiar with them. He has seen them in Gaochang, in Tubo, in Goryeo, and in Japan.
As long as there is war and struggle, the people will always suffer first. They will also help them without affecting what they need to do. After all, gathering some people will not harm them, and it will also discourage those who are interested in causing trouble for them.
Unexpectedly, Queen Zhanpo would come here in person.
It seems that the ministers of Champo have found a more suitable puppet and can better consolidate the people's hearts. This queen is about to lose her value.
The relationship between the king and the minister, and the king and the people seems to be strong, but in fact, the throne is always changing in the vast river of history, and the royal power is always constantly changing. Yesterday, the world may still have the surname Yang, but today, the world may have the surname Li. In the face of life and death, dignity seems to be less important, and it is not a big deal to ask for help from an outsider. After all, this is a visitor to the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire.
Dai Ting's face was calm and he was not moved at all.
Whether the people in this world are beautiful or ugly, whether they are noble or lowly, they have nothing to do with him. He has no extra sympathy and compassion to strangers. If they can bring enough benefits, he may be willing to hear what kind of help they need.
After a brief conversation, Queen Zhanpo also understood this. The person in front of him was not short of money and did not want to be a marquis and titled Master in Zhanpo. They really came here to plant a piece of land for a year and then left. Those people had to ask them to trouble them before fighting back.
As for beauty, it is not that Queen Zhan Po is not confident enough, but that Dai Ting sat there, and everyone present had to feel ashamed. Will such a person be moved by beauty? Thinking about it, it seems impossible. If you really want to give him a beauty, you may be suspected of taking advantage of him!
Queen Zhanpo proposed her own direction of repayment according to Dai Ting's needs: If they could help her firmly hold the throne, she would mobilize all those who could mobilize to cultivate well, help the Tang Dynasty select and breed seeds, and offer good rice seeds to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Their Zhanpo climate is good, and the products are rich, and the rice can even be ripened three times a year! They can not only offer Zhanpo's crop varieties, but also help the Tang Dynasty test the varieties of the surrounding countries.
Dai Ting finally became a little moved after hearing this.
He paused and spoke up to correct the recipient of Queen Zhan Po’s reward: “Dedicated to His Highness, King Teng.”
Giving Li Yuanying and giving Datang are different.
All this must be dedicated to Li Yuanying first. Whether Li Yuanying wants it or not, they will fight for Li Yuanying as much as possible. He will let the people in the world know that Li Yuanying is the one who finds these rice seeds for them, and Li Yuanying is also the one who considers them everywhere.
Li Yuanying just wanted to be a vassal king quickly and never thought about anything else, but he lived a free and unrestrained life, and people would inevitably be jealous.
What Dai Ting wanted was to make Li Yuanying an existence that even the emperor dared not easily touch his.
Even if Li Yuanying is dedicated to the court, even if Li Yuanying is not in the hands of Li Yuanying, it is still different from being in the hands of Li Yuanying.
He was not loyal to the court or the emperor, he was only loyal to Li Yuanying.
For Queen Zhan Po, there is no big difference between giving things to the Tang Dynasty court and His Highness Teng, who was dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. She was just secretly surprised by the ability of the King Teng. What kind of person can make an existence like Dai Ting so loyal to him? With Dai Ting's ability, she can even take people directly to occupy Zhan Po and divide the land into the king!
Zhan Po was once a county town in the Han Dynasty. Later, the locals killed the county magistrate and proclaimed themselves kings. Now Zhan Po is in chaos. If someone who can calm the turmoil comes out, it is not uncommon to be promoted to the new Zhan Po king. However, the man in front of him has no interest in this and just wants to take Zhan Po rice seeds back as planned.
Even though he was curious, Queen Zhanpo didn't ask too much, for fear that if she asked too much, she would change.
After she made an agreement with Dai Ting, she left silently just like when she came.
Dai Ting didn't want to miss Li Yuanying's marriage, so he used the method of cutting the mess with quick knife. His actions were quick and ruthless, and he directly brought down all the forces that did not accept the Queen Zhan Po.
Many people only realized this time that it turned out that the ones entrenched here were not some gentle little sheep who liked to gnaw grass, but a deadly poisonous snake! This poisonous snake was quite popular. One or two of the refugees who farmed for him threw down their hoes, picked up swords and guns and said they wanted to take back their homes!
When did these humble untouchables dare to resist?!
The dignitaries and nobles of Champo were all angry and sent soldiers to kill these untouchables who dared to resist. The blood of their companions stained the eyes of the "untouchables" red. They farmed peacefully and lived peacefully. Why should everything be taken away? Why should they even have their lives taken away? These people are not even as good as pigs and dogs!
With the sudden bloody riots of the people, most of the nobles and officials were killed within a few days, and the originally magnificent mansion was stained with blood overnight.
All the glory, wealth, power and interests are transformed into smoke with death.
At this time, the queen personally climbed the city tower in red and issued an edict to the people that she would imitate the Tang Dynasty to implement the equal land system, so that every person could have land to cultivate and a home to recuperate.
The remaining officials and nobles were all supporters of the queen. Seeing that those who had strange intentions died of misfortune, they inevitably became more awe of the queen. They all cooperated with the queen's arrangements and actively promoted the queen's benevolence.
As for dividing the land, so many officials and nobles died, just divide their land without having to divide it on them. There is no need to hesitate. It is most important to stabilize the situation first!
Dai Ting did not get involved in these things anymore, but only left a part of the people to guard the manor at Zhan Po, and returned north with his own rice seeds.
When we first boarded the ship, the weather was still hot. When we drove north, the weather on the sea gradually became worse. After winter, there were occasional wind and snow blocking the road, and there were still ships on the road that broke into reefs and damaged. Fortunately, they had a lot of ships, so they rescued people and grain on other ships in time, which was barely considered safe.
After walking along the vast sea for several months, I stopped and stopped. The fleet that went out to sea finally returned safely. There were ships coming and going from the port, and there were many people on the dock. After hearing that it was the fleet of Prince Teng's Mansion, everyone was looking forward to it, wanting to see if they were full of gold, silver and jewelry this time.
To their disappointment, what they carried on the boat this time were ordinary burlap bags, which looked like they were usually made of food. Judging from the shape and weight, it seemed that it was indeed food rather than the rare treasures they imagined.
It was only after the last boat that I could barely look at it. The first one was two colorful parrots. They looked exactly the same, and they started to speak loudly as soon as they got off the boat: "Big!" "So big!" "So big!" The chefs who came to carry the cargo were both strange and proud. Of course, their harbor was big. I heard that the harbor in the south was not as grand as theirs!
