The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 353 The Price of Blood

The Sultan of Delhi gritted his teeth. He was almost mad at these guys who failed to achieve anything but failed!
How much trouble has this aristocratic group caused him in the past few years since he took office?

If he hadn't been related by marriage to his wife's family, how could he tolerate them to this day?
After all, he is still not cruel enough.

In just one day, the Sultan of Delhi understood the whole story.

They really weren't wronged at all. Not only was the evidence conclusive, but they also got the stolen goods.

The reason for the trouble is not complicated at all. The family behind the soldiers said that their ancestors died under the sword of King Tang.

They believed that even though Li Tang had been replaced by Daxia, he was still a Han and the enemy of their family!
It’s true that you want to kill people, and it’s true that you want to cheat!

The main reason is that they are greedy for the silk and other commodities brought by the Daxia people. It is also estimated that there is a lot of gold, silver and jewelry on their ships.

It is the nature of the Tatars to plunder.

There is nothing that should or shouldn’t be done, only what can or cannot be done!

Their mistake was that they underestimated the number of Daxia naval forces and the force value of these naval forces.

Not only did they fail to teach these Han people a lesson, they also lost the warriors the family had carefully trained.

There were more than 6,000 people, but only more than 1,000 people escaped. The news came that more than 3,000 people died.

The other party who held more than a thousand prisoners has not yet given an explanation.

Life or death is unknown.

The Tatars are fierce and brave, but if they lose in a battle, they generally will not default on their debts.

In the end, the Sultan of Delhi made the decision and asked this aristocratic group to compensate the Bactrian envoys: one hundred thousand taels of gold and two large boxes of gems.

What the Daxia people wanted, 1,200 slaves with planting or textile skills, were also sent out from their families.

Even with such compensation, everyone felt quite heavy.

If they had a choice, they would rather spend a lot of money to buy these slaves than lose their brothers.

There was no condition to bring the remains of the navy soldiers back to the Great Xia Dynasty, so they had to cremate these people.

The ashes were put into clay pots, and these were to be sent back to the families of the sailors.

On the day of cremation, everyone came to the island fishing village to see them off, and Mr. Gao personally lit the fire.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Qin Ke cried so hard that he was out of breath.

There were quite a few of the dead sailors, and they came all the way with javelins.

They really get along like brothers, but they still haven't gotten along enough.

Hei Wa looked at several teenagers who were uglier than crying, and did not forget to educate him:

“At any time, only strength can give us confidence, and this is why we need to be strong ourselves.

The future of Daxia belongs to you young people after all! Their sacrifice today reminds us that we must not be careless at any time.

While we are becoming stronger, our enemies are also becoming stronger. "

"We remember it!" the eight teenagers replied in unison.

The price of blood tells them that they are still not strong enough!

In contrast to their heavy mood, the capital was still full of life at this time.

In mid-spring of this year, the Daxia Women’s Culinary Institute will open its third enrollment period.

The five-entry courtyard used before could not accommodate more students.

Finally, the Queen Empress used her privileges to take over all the three large mansions on the left and right sides of the academy.

When the neighbors saw the money, they moved immediately: they were really fed up. They had to smell the fragrance but not eat every day. It was easy to sell early and early.

With enough land, the enrollment quota of the culinary school can be expanded this year.

They plan to recruit 600 students, half of whom are charity students and half of whom are fee-paying students.

This recruitment not only gave 100 students to the Shantang in the capital, but also gave 200 to the Shantang in Shu.

Xia Hongdi said this to Queen Gao at that time:
"I recruited the most troops in Shu in those years, and the war was also the most intense in those years. Children who lose their fathers will inevitably be bullied. Queen, you must give priority to these military orphans!"

The emperor has spoken, and of course Cuihua and the others must obey.

We also plan to give the free quota to Shu for a few more years in the future.

The dignitaries in the capital speak highly of the students who have been trained by the Women's Culinary Institute in the past two years.

As a result, these fee-based places are hotly grabbed by the rich and powerful every year.

It also gave Queen Gao an opening in her wife's diplomacy!
The Masters now have students in three grades, the curriculum is full, and everyone is busy.

Fan Jingjing, who is eight months pregnant, has just started taking maternity leave.

Xiaolian and Xiaohe would go back to their home in the capital every day after school, vying to talk to their mother's baby brother for a long time before giving up.

The current courses for the little girls are still mainly based on interests, and the grandmothers do not have too high requirements for them.

They were quite happy to study every day. Xiaowei and Lele no longer went home noisily.

If there were still discussions last year about the Great Xia navy that had left and never returned, this year, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it anymore.

What else are you talking about?

It's been more than two years, and it's been very bad!

Xia Hongdi has passed the irritable stage and has calmed down.

But the emperor who had calmed down was even more terrifying than the violent period last year.

The prince and several other princes were overwhelmed by the lessons assigned by their father from time to time.

Except for Princess Jingyao and the yet-to-be-enlightened fifth prince Xia En, no one can take a good look at him.

The premature baby Xia En, because the foundation laid during infancy was so good, the child who ate rice at the age of four grew fat and loved to chase after his sister every day waiting to be fed.

The relationship between brother and sister is very loving.

That night in Kunning Palace, Xia Hongdi was still tossing and turning in the middle of the night, unable to sleep.

Queen Gao endured it for a long time, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She suppressed her temper and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to pat you to sleep?"

"Huh, do you think I'm a favor?" Only children need to be coaxed, how can he need this thing?
"Then you talk to me." If the dog man doesn't sleep, how can he let her fall asleep first?

"What's the use of talking to you? Can you tell me where they are? Or do you know when they will come back?"

Empress Gao really wanted to scratch his paws a few times, but she endured it again and again, and finally suggested: "How about you come to the Xuanqin Heavenly Prison for divination?"

"Don't you think I've ever done divination? It's always good luck every time!" Xia Hongdi said it was good luck, but his tone was very bad.

"Then what are you worried about? Good luck every time, how rare it is!" Queen Gao smoothed his hair and was really at a loss for words.

Xia Hongdi didn't say anything, because he was worried about the good luck every time!

He even doubted whether these officials from Qintian Prison were freeloaders!
You're not trying to fool him, right?
Even if you just want to fool him, you won't be perfunctory like this, right?

I don't dare to taste it carefully, and I don't know who to direct my anger at.

Queen Gao was very tired:
"Your Majesty, I think Mrs. Zhongqinbo is very stable. I met her a few days ago. She said that she dreamed about Zhongqinbo several times. She also said that in her dream, Zhongqinbo told her that she would definitely return home before the end of this year. ”

Why is coaxing En'er so tiring?
Neither the left nor the right is good. She wants to kick the dog man out of bed!

"Huh, didn't you know that dreams are reversed? Bah, bah, bah!"

Xia Hongdi wished he could slap himself and take back what he just said. He was really stupid.

Queen Gao was too lazy to wait and simply turned her back.

This dog man is becoming less and less human and is really hard to coax.

Xia Hongdi, who was still upset just now, suddenly asked: "Tell me, should I find an eminent monk to help Mrs. Zhongqinbo interpret her dreams?"

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

"That's right. If I summon the eminent monk, those who are staring at me won't know how to organize it!"

Queen Gao: It’s really difficult for me
