Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 14
"Okay!" A smile appeared on Lin Xi's face.

The old face that belonged to Wen Yuanxiang was now wrinkled into an old chrysanthemum.

"Please also offer sacrifices to the head as a token, and make it a covenant. When I ask for an edict from the emperor, I will reply." Lin Xi said.

Shan Bao relayed Lin Xi's words.

The leader of the barbarians took a crystal stone talisman and gave it to Lin Xi.

The three of Lin Xi received hospitality that day.

Although some barbarians looked at them, Lin Xi felt familiar, vaguely like his eyes looking at others.

But overall, the atmosphere is cheerful.

Most barbarians have simple minds.

If it weren't for their natural strength and the cover of the bitter cold and wild Million Man Mountain, they would have been eaten by those people outside the mountain long ago, and there would be no bones left.

On the way back, Shan Bao finally couldn't help but asked Lin Xi: "Do you really have a way to get the emperor's support?"

Shan Bao didn't have much knowledge, but he was still different from the barbarians in the mountains.

He knew that Lin Xi's identity was not simple, but... finding the emperor as a guarantor to do business with barbarians was unreliable no matter how he thought about it.

"If it's a business...of course I can't do it." Lin Xi didn't hide Shan Bao.

Many things to be dealt with next will require the help of people from the border town. Lin Xi alone is not enough to accomplish things.

So it is actually necessary to tell some 'truth' frankly.

Among them, Shan Bao is responsible for communicating with the barbarians, and his value is temporarily irreplaceable.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to know him better.

"You can't do it?" Shan Bao looked at Lin Xi with a broken expression, and poured out layers of malice towards Lin Xi.

"I will report to the imperial court that there is a tribe of barbarians who are willing to naturalize. Not only have they offered the tribe's treasures as a sincerity, but they are also willing to present a large number of treasures collected from millions of barbarian mountains to the emperor." Lin Xi said leisurely. .

"Are you lying? Are you deceiving me? Deceiving Tian Yanquebu?" Shan Bao looked at Lin Xi angrily, and his body began to swell again.

"Cheating? No! This is just a skill of speaking. According to the etiquette of the big country, if there is a foreign country that is naturalized and surrendered, it will be a tribute gift. The emperor will reward it and return three times the total price of the tribute."

"Three times the gift, in exchange for cloth, oil and salt, and all kinds of items needed by the barbarians, it is more than enough to satisfy the Tianyan Quebu. This method is not about doing business, but it is better than doing business." Lin Xi said.

Lin Xi's method, to put it bluntly, is to deceive both ends.

Tell the barbarians that they are just doing business, exchanging things from outside the mountains for things from inside the mountains.

But what he said to the imperial court was the naturalization of the barbarian tribes. Being willing to accept the imperial court's restraint was equivalent to opening up the territory for the great evil without spending a single soldier.

And as the 'magician' in the middle.

Lin Xi will not only regain the opportunity to re-emerge on the political stage, but also gain a lot of benefits.

Of course, this has to be risky.

Even if Lin Xi can continue to make the cake bigger, bring in more powerful people, and use the benefits to get many people to help lie together.

But as long as there is something wrong in it, the entire interest link will be broken.

Lin Xi will be lost forever.

But for the time being, Lin Xi won't care about this issue.

He doesn't have many chips available right now.

If you don't use the barbarians and think of other ways, if you want to return to Yong'an and fulfill Wen Yuanxiang's last wish, then you don't know when you have to wait.

A piece of court playing Jiuzhong!
Three days later, the special envoy of the Son of Heaven came riding a crane, inquired about the details, took away the token, and returned to Yong'an to report to the Son of Heaven.

Then, under Lin Xi's central adjustment, a large number of treasures in the mountain were transported out of the mountain.

And the rewards from the emperor were secretly exchanged for cloth, grain, oil and salt, and sent to the Tianyan Sparrow Department.

On Da Zong's territory, there is a small extra piece.

It is located in the Million Man Mountains and is extremely difficult to reach.

It was difficult for the emperor to arrange for officials to keep herdsmen, so he had to let the barbarians govern themselves.

It was just an order to let the barbarian tribe arrange for the next sacrificial leader to take Yong'an as a hostage.

This is not too difficult to solve.

Shanbao helps Tianyanquebu solve a big problem.

With the approval of Jishou, he was allowed to return to the tribe again, and personally washed him with the blood of a hundred people, recasting his barbarian body.

Apart from retaining some common human features, Shan Bao looks no different from most barbarians.

Therefore, Shan Bao was sent to Yong'an by Lin Xi as the next priest of the Tianyan Sparrow Department, and became a proton.

In fact, on Da Zong's territory, there is an extra barbarian tribe in the Million Man Mountain, which is of no real benefit to Da Zong.

But that's what a mature country is.

An inch of land must be fought for, and an inch of land must not be lost.

The emperor was delighted to expand the territory.

The courtiers felt that they had civilized the barbarians.

The dignitaries can profit from it, and based on Lin Xi's method, they will continue to expand, each is happy, and each has his own income.

Although the whole thing was based on a lie, it didn't seem to make anyone really suffer.

At the same time, Wen Yuanxiang's name jumped into the eyes of many people again, making them uneasy, but they couldn't turn a blind eye.

As far as the country is concerned, Wen Yuanxiang has made great contributions to expanding the territory.

It must be rewarded, otherwise the country's rewards and punishments will be unclear, and the officials will be dissatisfied, and the soldiers will not want to protect the country.

But up to the emperor and down to the officials, few were willing to see Wen Yuanxiang return to the court and assume power.

Therefore, after waiting for many days, Lin Xichu finally got a reward from An Nanbo.

Granting titles, but not official positions, is a stocking, and continues to wait and see attitude.

"Sure enough, it is not so easy to return to Yong'an. Of course... I am no longer a criminal subject, so it is not difficult to return to Yong'an quietly. But this is not what I want, let alone Wen Yuanxiang. want."

"So, it's time for the next step!" Lin Xi looked at the distant mountains with a smile on his face.

Shan Bao left, and the one who replaced Shan Bao as a barbarian to communicate with the outside world was the son of the priest of the Tianyan Sparrow Department.

He is learning the language and culture of the outside world, and the speed of progress is not slow.

Of course, Lin Xi is also learning the language of the barbarians.

The language of the barbarians is not difficult. Their vocabulary is not large, and the characters and syllables are few. As long as they are fully understood, the intonation and tone in different situations are quite fast and convenient to learn.

Lin Xi, who had obtained a large number of barbarian memory fragments, thought so after having secretly hunted down two barbarians and devoured their souls.

"Tits!" Lin Xi waved at Jishou's son.

The stupid big man immediately dropped the big bone stick in his hand, and ran towards Lin Xi with big feet.

From a distance, he shouted: "Yeah!"

The tits had a heavy accent, and grandpa was called yay.

"Tits! Do you think you barbarians prefer to keep tigers or blue sheep in burrows?" Lin Xi asked the tits in barbarian language.

The chickadee thought for a while and replied, "Of course it's the Jiaohu!"

"Do you know why?" Lin Xi asked again.

The chickadee replied: "Because the jiaohu is very dangerous, a hundred barbarian warriors may not necessarily kill a full-grown ferocious jiaohu. But the blue sheep are very docile, and they will not have any aggressiveness except when they are qin. .”

Lin Xi smiled.

look!A simple truth that even barbarians know.

The current Lin Xi, under Wen Yuanxiang's identity, has made great contributions to the imperial court.

The court rewarded him unwillingly, gave him the status of an empty earl, and sent him away.

This is entirely because Lin Xi is not threatening.

Just like blue sheep, they can be slaughtered at any time.

But if Lin Xi turns into a jiaohu... then the court would have to use a big cage to lock him up to avoid being hurt by him.

And this great evil, where is it more suitable to be the cage than the imperial capital Yong'an?

"Tits! Last time, how did he think about the proposal I made to your father?" Lin Xi asked the tits.

The tit scratched its forehead, and then replied: "Dad said, when the goods enter the mountain, they will naturally be escorted by the warriors of the tribe. But the barbarians belong to the million barbarian mountains, not to the outside world, and we will not go down the mountain."

Lin Xi wanted to take the lead in forming a team of barbarians to go down the mountain, in the name of fear of being attacked and robbed by other barbarian tribes and monsters as the goods increased day by day.

But it was obvious that the head priest of the Tiny Sparrow Department rejected Lin Xi's proposal.

Lin Xi didn't say anything more.

If people do not feel pain, they will not cover the wound with their hands.

Some time later!
In another month, the entire Million Man Mountain will usher in the coldest time.

Thanks to Lin Xi's mediation, the Chickfinch Department obtained sufficient materials to survive the cold wave.

But more barbarians are still fighting for their lives.

They are not blind.

Naturally, there are various ways to know the connection between the titmouse and the outside world.

Inside the imperial court, the hyenas who smelled the fishy smell among the dignitaries have not yet fully arrived.

They are also looking for opportunities to cooperate with other barbarian tribes.

Therefore, many barbarians, because they couldn't survive, would keep their eyes on the materials sent to the tits.

"Old man Wen!"

"Come out and answer!" A loud roar came from outside the county office that had been simply repaired.

Two black steeds that entered the threshold of the spirit beast, raised their iron hooves, and smashed through the gate of the county government.

A strange locomotive controlled by an agency spontaneously drove into the county office, which seemed narrow to that locomotive.

From the locomotive, a tall, burly, dark-skinned man wearing a black brocade robe and full beard walked out.

"Old man Wen! Benhou ordered you to contact the barbarian in the mountain, so as to create a relationship. Why did you perfunctory Benhou for three days, but still didn't reply? Could it be that you are really the head of the officials in the past, the prime minister?" The dark-skinned, bearded man is Dingxiang Hou Tianzheng.

The Tian family is the founder of the country.

At the same time, it is also a family of practice.

He followed the path of a military strategist, and cultivated the spirit of fighting and killing on the battlefield.

In Lin Xi's eyes, this kind of cultivator is actually closer to the way of the devil, and to the demon... it is really a plaything in the palm of his hand.
