"Father, please give me your instructions." Biqu Δ "Δ Pavilion" Ding Kui did not have the confidence to bargain with the king.
"In the future, anyone who succeeds as the Protector of the Country cannot concurrently serve as the Lord of Juyang City." Shao Diandan put forward a condition that was not too harsh.
The Protector of the Country cannot concurrently serve as the Lord of Juyang City. Shaodian Dan has put a lot of thought into this. The Protector of the Country cannot have territory and people, at least in the eyes of the royal family. Juyang City is granted to a third-class loyal and brave uncle. In principle,
It is not a hereditary territory and cannot be placed under the name of a formal hereditary noble. The king's request is reasonable and reasonable.
This will set up obstacles for Ding Kui to inherit the title of Protector in the future. If the third-class loyal and brave uncle wants others to inherit, they can all be members of the Ding family, but one person cannot have two titles.
It really doesn't matter to other big families, such as the Long family. Long Yuan is the lord of Shuanglong City, Long Kun is the commander of the equipment department and the successor of Duke Wei. Long Dang's direct descendants can be assigned good positions and titles. This
It's not a problem for dragons.
"My son, I accept the decree." Ding Kui was very knowledgeable and knew that the condition of Shaodian Dan could not be made public, so he treated it as a secret decree.
If the Ding family is still passed down from generation to generation, the third-level loyal and brave uncle will face the embarrassing situation of having no successor.
Why does Shaodian Dan want to keep the Protector Lord without territory or people? Wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Juyang City? In the future, I will concentrate the power of the Ding family in Juyang City, and the royal family will not have to worry about me threatening their status.
.
Ding Kui couldn't understand that it was not easy to discuss this kind of matter with Liu Yu and Fei Ze, so he returned home and was sulking alone.
A pair of tender white catkins gently covered Ding Kui's eyes.
"what's on your mind?"
"I'm thinking it's time for you to have a baby." Ding Kui was familiar with the smell of the person behind him.
There was only one person in the Protectorate who could be so close to him, and that was Mrs. Ru Long Yan.
Long Yan lay on Ding Kui's back and whispered: "I can't do it alone. You haven't been idle in the past few days since you came back. There are many things waiting for you to do. I don't dare to distract you."
"I encountered a problem today," Ding Kui picked up Long Yan and put it on his lap. "If you can give birth to a child, this problem will be solved. It is best to have more children and solve other problems as well."
.”
Long Yan's eyes looked around, and she was relieved when she saw no one, "I really want to have a baby, but I heard that those folk remedies for giving birth to a son are not good for blood, and my own qualifications are not good for it."
Ding Kui stretched out his hand and pinched his wife's nose and said: "I didn't ask you to take those folk remedies. You and I are both healthy and don't need those crooked ways. In fact, it's the same for boys and girls, as long as they have the blood of the Ding family.
You should know that our first child must be adopted by the Jiang family and will inherit the title of An Guogong in the future. It is good if it is a boy, but they will also accept it if it is a girl, because you have the blood of the Jiang family."
"We have consummated our marriage for a while, but my stomach is not feeling good at all." Long Yan stroked her belly in distress.
"Don't be anxious. Creating humans is a complex project and requires the cooperation of both of us to succeed."
"You, you blame me for not cooperating, okay?" Long Yan couldn't understand the first half of what Ding Kui said, but he understood the second half.
"No, no, no, I don't mean that. Don't worry. We have plenty of time when we come back this time. It could be a few months or half a year at the earliest. Your belly will definitely be better." Ding Kui didn't know how to explain physiological hygiene to Long Yan.
Knowledge, simply don’t explain it.
In fact, what he knows is from books, and he has no practical experience at all. He just knows that if both husband and wife are in good health, they will definitely gain something if they work hard.
"The ideal situation is to give birth to a boy who will be adopted by the Jiang family, a boy who will succeed the Marquis of Protector, and another boy who will succeed Uncle Zhongyong." Ding Kui counted on his fingers.
Long Yan stuck out her sweet tongue and said coquettishly: "You think I'm a hen, giving birth to a brood of chicks. The eldest princess is about to come in, why don't you look for her?"
"The eldest princess is still young. We will think about this issue in a few years. Alas, the Ding family is very small. Thank you for your hard work." Ding Kui stood up with Long Yan in his arms and was about to walk back to the room.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, aren't you going to carve the pattern for the printing house tomorrow?" Long Yan struggled to get off the ground.
"So what?" Ding Kui refused to let go of his wife.
"I think you haven't finished it yet."
"That's right, you have been in your hometown for several years, and you are familiar with the layout of "Guan Yue" even if you don't understand it. That's good, why don't you try the layout of "Shu Cong"."
Ding Kui has already signed a contract with the Kong family, and has also received the manuscript for the first issue of "Shu Cong" provided by the Kong family. He is waiting to arrange the layout and take it to the printing house for printing.
"I won't do it," Long Yan saw the opportunity to break away from Ding Kui's arms, "in case you find an excuse to keep me in the capital. I would rather go to Juyang City with you and help you solve all your problems." After saying this, he covered his mouth and snickered.
, trotted out of the garden.
"I'll teach you a lesson tonight."
Ding Kui shook his head, getting rid of the ripples of fantasy in his mind, and walked to the study room to complete the typesetting of "Book Series".
The Kong family is so stubborn that they don’t leave any advertising space. It seems that they can only add one page for advertising inserts. Which chamber of commerce is best to contact in such a short time?
He stared at the arranged layout and thought.
It's too late to contact the Chamber of Commerce now. Let's just advertise to Juyang City. The materials for making the crossbow have not been determined yet. Let's collect some materials for making the bow body and bow string first.
He had channels to contact the Chamber of Commerce for advertising, but it would take time to negotiate and create the layout. However, the Kong family hoped to publish the "Book Series" as soon as possible, and there was not enough time left for him.
Lao Qiantou and General Shi have been studying the production of crossbows, but the mass-produced crossbows have not yet been finalized. The key issue is cost. A low-threshold type of crossbow soldier is not suitable for the high equipment cost.
"Master," He Laizi came to report, "I estimate that I will arrive in the capital early next month."
"Didn't the eldest princess hold a coming-of-age ceremony in advance at the end of the month? Father can't make it?" Ding Kui frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid it's too late."
"Okay, you prepare a gift for father. Are the other guest rooms ready?" Ding Kui has been busy since he came to Zhenjing City.
There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. After all, he is an official noble of the kingdom. There are countless rules about what he should do and what he shouldn't do. Unlike in the past, he could fight and cause trouble, and leave the things he had no time to deal with to his subordinates.
"Master, the situation has changed and there are not enough spare rooms in the mansion."
Ding Kui was stunned by He Zizi's answer, "Why?"
"Juyang City has become your territory. Many of the boss's old subordinates will come to the capital to see you. Even the old slave wants to send his descendants to Juyang City." He Laizi reminded Ding Kui.
In fact, it's not just Ding Dao's old tribe. The connections accumulated by the Ding family in the military cannot be calculated in detail. Unfortunately, the Ding family had no foundation in the past, and the Protector's Palace could not accommodate many followers, which resulted in many people who wanted to join the Ding family wandering away.
outer.
"Is that so, where is Grandpa Qian?"
"Old Qian doesn't know what he's doing in his house." He Zizi has been dissatisfied with Qian Bu recently.
Ding Kui knew that Lao Qiantou was researching crossbows, but in order to keep it a secret he did not let He Laizi know.
"Don't bother him. Let Ding Cai book all the inns on Xichaomen Street and nearby streets, and also rent out the houses for rent. Money can be wasted, but people must not wait too long."
What he lacks most now is people. He will accept as many people as come and join him. If a giant sheep city cannot accommodate it, he will build another city to accommodate it. In the past, the Ding family could not provide conditions, but now he can provide them. He is not afraid of too many people, but afraid that they will not come.
.
"Huh?" He felt a magic wave in the distance, and that direction was the courtyard where Ao Yu and Ao Yan lived.
When he ran over and took a look, he saw Ao Yanping holding a plate and shooting a dazzling white light at the foot of the courtyard wall.
"What are you doing?" Ding Kui stepped forward curiously.
"I feel like I'm being spied on, so I want to set up a barrier to prevent others from peeking into the yard." Ao Yanyang raised the plate in her hand, which was obviously a magic array plate.
Ding Kui immediately understood and said quickly: "My Miss Ao, please don't build any barriers. There are two magic towers in this city, each with a monitoring circle.
The rule magicians who preside over the magic tower will not intentionally spy on you, but putting up this kind of barrier will attract their attention."
Ao Yan raised two sword eyebrows, and a magic core as big as a fist appeared in her hand, "Rule Magician, at worst, I will fight with him."
"Don't, don't, don't, you're not a human being. It's normal for people to take a look at you. Of course, the Dragon God's methods cannot be seen through by magicians based on the rules. As long as you don't come up with weird tricks, no one will come to trouble you.
I know you are not afraid of the Rule Magician, but you can run away, but Ao Yu can't run away, and what about me? How can this big family run away with you? Believe me, it will be better if you don't create a barrier." Ding Kui advised.
.
He didn't want the two giant dragons around him to be driven away by human magicians, but Ao Yan's reaction reminded him that the two giant dragons with level 6 strength were dangerous to the royal family and they could not be taken in or out of the palace.
Someone did take a look at Ao Yan. Gui Jing was originally studying the bones of Li Fenghuan. The man with the crystal ball told him that a new late-level six warrior appeared in Zhenjing City, so he took a look through the crystal ball.
"Which sect is a disciple? She has reached the late sixth level at such a young age? Well, there is a vague aura about her. Is it set up by her elders? Or is it herself?" Gui Jing did not see through Ao Yan, but just made a mental note of Ding.
There is such a person in the Kui family.
The rule magician cannot see through the seal of the God of Law, because the realm of the God of Law can modify some rules, while the rule magician can only use it. The gap between the two is insurmountable. Gui Jing can see some problems, but he absolutely cannot see through it.
"Well, if anyone peeps at me again, I will set up a barrier." Ao Yan was not as stubborn as Ao Yu and could listen to Ding Kui's advice.
"Well, if you are unhappy, I can send you back to Juyang City, and I will apologize to you after everything is finished." Ding Kui didn't want to cause trouble, so he couldn't give this guarantee to Ao Yan.
"It's okay, I don't like places with too many rules." Ao Yan didn't like Zhenjing City.
