Yipin Danxian

Chapter 131 Pu Tai
Hearing Wu Sheng say that he was going to send a message to Yuan Sima, who was in the tent discussing matters with the important ministers of other countries, Dao Baifeng shook his head immediately: "I am very vulgar, and I am not allowed to talk to others before the competition. This is a bad omen."

Wu Sheng is sometimes moved by the heroic spirit of these people, and sometimes he is anxious by their dead-headedness, but this kind of concept cannot be reversed with a sentence or two, so he can only change the way and take He took a bamboo slip and came over, wrote a sentence, and handed it to Dao Baifeng: "Pass this in, don't talk, is this okay?"

Dao Baifeng thought about how long it would take to make a cup of tea, and then hesitantly went outside Yuan Sima's big tent, handed the bamboo slips to the guarding monk, and pointed inside.

Although he still didn't speak, the meaning was quite clear. The guard cultivator was not a fool. After receiving the bamboo slips, he went into the account, and came out in a blink of an eye, nodding to Dao Baifeng, indicating that it was passed in.

After a while, the voices of disputes in the big tent suddenly became fierce. Wu Sheng slowly approached Yuan Sima's big tent, and heard more words.

"...How can this be? It's against the rules!"

"Where is it inconsistent? Which rule is not allowed?"

"We are all allies, why bother to cheat for spiritual materials?"

"Since it's true, why don't you dare test it..."

"Yuan Zirang, don't you believe me, Big Fish..."

"...If you don't believe it, it's for justice...Brother Bogui, don't misunderstand..."

After arguing for a long time, it seems that the doctor from the Yu Kingdom finally agreed, and said angrily: "Then let's see, not only the spiritual materials from my Yu Kingdom, but also the spiritual materials from your Yong Kingdom must be inspected by my alchemist from the Yu Kingdom... ..."

"Brother Zirang, brother Bogui, you two calm down..."

"Who is angry? We are not angry..."

Wu Sheng was in a good mood, humming a little tune and going back to the tent, Dao Baifeng lay in the tent and got up with a "crash": "It's done?"

"It's done."

"Can it be done?"

"Why not?"

"They are all doctors, can you listen to me?"

"Inherent thinking, inherent thinking is harmful!"

"What? Who hurt someone?"

"Dare to break the tradition, Brother Dao, how will you know if you don't try? You are a corporal of Yuan Sima, and you are no longer an ordinary citizen of the country. You have the right and responsibility to make suggestions!"

Dao Baifeng was silent for a moment, then lay down quietly, not knowing what to think.

Turning around, the gate of the camp was wide open, and Yuan Sima's guards stayed behind to guard the camp. Young Master Qingyu's guards each held banners, surrounded Young Master Qing Yu and Yuan Sima, and came under Putai, waiting for a while. Start to climb slowly along the ridge to the top, Wu Sheng and Dao Baifeng are naturally in the team.

There is a stone platform in the center of the high platform, which is a huge and flat crouching cow stone. It was erected when the first Putai alliance was held that year. It is both an alliance platform and a sacrificial platform.

The princes of the four countries came to the stage at the same time, and the guards of each family were the agreed 30 people. In addition, there were several servants carrying boxes and cages. There is momentum.

An important official from each country accompanied the monarch of his own country, and eight people stood in two rows facing the flag gate.According to the rank of title and the strength of the country, Yong Guo should have presided over the alliance, but as the young master Qingyu, he could only stand on the sidelines, so it was presided over by the king of the Yu Kingdom who was named a viscount.

Of course, the actual presider is Dazai Bogui of Yuguo.

The alliance is opened, this is the alliance of the promise, not the alliance of blood, so there is no big slaughter and three prisons, no cattle, sheep and pigs are sacrificed to the heavens, and of course no one will hold the cow's ear to offer the plate-otherwise Chu will directly send troops After the conquest, only the golden pheasant was killed as a sacrifice, worshiping the four divisions of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and praying for good weather, peace of the country and people.

Despite this, Dazai Bogui of Yuguo still presided over the event happily, and Mr. Yu also had a happy face, full of complacency.

Wu Sheng stood on the sidelines and sighed: "The monarch should come... After a few more alliances, Yuguo will really be on top of us."

Dao Baifeng shook his head: "The king is ill. Sima once said that if he comes, he will lose his dignity and be laughed at by the princes. It is better not to come."

Wu Sheng asked, "What's wrong with your feet? Even a panacea can't cure it?"

Dao Baifeng said: "The king's life span is one hundred and twenty-three, and he is already hanging down, down to the waist, without feeling, what can I do..."

Wu Sheng blinked and didn't say anything.

While speaking, the worship was over, and the next step was the highlight of the alliance, the renewal of the covenant of tribute.

The monarch and important ministers on the stage waited eagerly for a high-ranking leader, Dazai Bogui of the Yu Kingdom, to introduce him. This person is the left disciple of Yangzhou Yin, a large county in the south of the Chu Kingdom, named Shen Douke. about.

Wu Sheng immediately took out the Feihong sword and slashed down on the freshly healed wound. After a lot of effort, the blood finally flowed profusely.

Dao Baifeng was stunned, and asked in surprise: "What does Master Shen mean?"

Wu Sheng applied the winter bamboo shoot pill, and said, "Cut the face to show your ambition, um..."

Dao Baifeng couldn't help paying respects solemnly: "Master Shen..."

Wu Sheng fixed his eyes to identify this Shen Douke, it seemed so strange to him, and thinking about it again, Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Yingdu, and this is Yin's assistant in Yangzhou, coupled with his disfigured appearance, he must not be able to recognize himself.

After paying respects to several monarchs, Shin Douk retreated to the side to monitor, while Dazai Bogui continued to preside over the competition.

This year, the total value of tribute from the four kingdoms is one thousand gold. The tribute needs to be one hundred yi of gold, three hundred pieces of magic utensils, two thousand pieces of elixir, eighty catties of spiritual materials, six hundred pieces of silk and hemp, two hundred altars of spiritual wine, one hundred carts of rice, and beasts. Five hundred skins.

There is nothing to say about Yuan Jin. Yong, Yu, Kui, and Yu are divided according to the ratio of 4:3:2:1. The spiritual materials basically come from wild lands. Yong has the largest market, so it is provided by Yong. Let's try it out.

The price set by Chu State is based on Yangzhou Fangshi, and there is a lot of room for advancement and retreat, so the four countries are trying their best to compete. If they can't compete for anything, they have to pay real money. [-]% loss.

The reason for this is that the people of Chu did not hold their farts well, but even if the four countries know this, there is nothing they can do about it. What should be fought is still to be fought, otherwise they will lose dozens of gold every year, and hundreds of gold in ten years. For such a small country, it is a huge sum of money.

The first thing to compare is rice to see which one produces better rice.All countries took out the freshly harvested rice—naturally selected from the best, and placed it on a stone platform. You can tell at a glance whether there are many ears of rice and whether the rice grains are full.Of course, you can go to other countries and even Baiyue to buy the best rice seeds to fake, but when you pay tribute, you have to send it to Chu State according to the samples submitted today. If you falsify, you will eventually suffer.

Soon, the rice tribute country was settled, and it was still the Yong country. The other three countries had to pay the money to the Yong country according to the price of rice.

The rice sample was collected by Shen Douke, and when Mao Gong sent it to Yangzhou, this sample will prevail.

After that, it was compared to animal skins.The four countries can receive animal skins from Baiyue and the barbaric land, but refining the skins of spirit beasts into usable animal skins also requires skill. Provide hides.

Dao Baifeng said in a low voice: "When it comes to leather making, I'm the best. It's just a matter of handing over to the Ningguo, otherwise they won't get anything."
