As soon as everyone had finished packing, people from the palace also arrived.
Zhao Jing got the news early in the morning and wanted to meet Fenglei and others.
This was the first time that Fenglei met someone with a higher status than him, especially the Emperor of Dayan. He stood in front of the mirror and straightened his clothes, feeling a little more nervous.
After getting into the carriage, he could not calm down until he reached the palace gate.
When I got off the car and saw the majestic palace, Feng Lei's legs felt weak.
Compared with the palace, the stone houses on his Feng Lei Island were simply shabby houses and crumbling tiles. It also made Feng Lei know how ridiculous he was before. He thought he could become king by taking over a few islands, but only after arriving at Dayan did he understand what that meant.
Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, he is too short-sighted.
Fortunately, he didn't offend Jiang Miao to death and surrendered to her. Although he hadn't met Zhao Jing yet, he already respected him more in his heart.
The person who came to pick up Fenglei was Zhao Jing's father-in-law Jixiang. After all, he was the overlord of the island, so Zhao Jing still gave him a lot of face.
What Feng Lei saw along the way had already made him numb. Everyone here wore better clothes than him, the buildings were exquisite and magnificent, and even the servants were well-born. There were beautiful and juicy little maids everywhere in the corridors and gardens.
He felt that his eyesight was not enough.
"No wonder Dayan can become the largest country. There should be no other country that can come up with such a big deal."
Uncle Feng Jiu behind him whispered, these close followers of Feng Lei were completely shocked. In the palace, everyone was even breathing carefully for fear of disturbing the noble man.
Main hall.
Zhao Jing has been waiting for a while. Compared with Jiang Miao, Xu Ziwen and others, he is the most pitiful one. Except for going to the eldest princess's mansion and the Xu family, Zhao Jing rarely leaves the palace, so there is absolutely no chance to go overseas and other places.
Yes, this is the first time he has met a foreigner.
Feng Lei is tall and strong, with dark skin and piercing tiger eyes. After being dressed up a little, he carries the pressure of a superior, but this pressure has been completely eliminated on the way here.#@$&
While Zhao Jing was sizing him up, Fenglei was also secretly looking at Zhao Jing out of the corner of his eye.
He knew that the emperor of Dayan was young, but he did not expect to be so young.
This Dayan is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. It only needs talents like Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing. Even the emperor seems to be a wise princess. With Jiang Miao and two people assisting, Dayan has no need to worry about not being prosperous.
Feng Lei was once again glad that he did not have any enmity with Dayan, otherwise their Fengdao would have been crushed by Dayan's army.
"Chen Fenglei has met Your Majesty!"%&(&
He lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing saw that he was so knowledgeable, and the smile on her face became more genuine, "Ai Qing, please get up, Ji Xiang, show Chief Feng your seat."
The two men were in harmony, and it was completely impossible to tell that Fenglei was a surrendered prisoner. He even fought with Jiang Miao's people before.
Zhao Jingxicai, since Jiang Miao doesn't care, there is no need for him to hold on to it. Besides, the dozens of islands under Fenglei's name are a temptation for him. Once he captures all the sea areas around Dayan, it will not only be
It's because Dayan's territory has expanded and it has added a line of defense for Dayan. He will naturally have a better attitude when it comes to accomplishing multiple things with one stone.
The two talked for a long time, and Zhao Jing found out his sincerity. After knowing that Fenglei was really willing to surrender and give all the islands under his name to Dayan, Zhao Jing revealed his plan.
"I will ask people to sort out the location, soil quality, and climate of the island, and then prescribe the right medicine according to the respective conditions and make different development strategies."
He wanted these islands to be used not just for fun, but to be used to grow crops, breed animals, and even train troops.
Although Dayan has now become the hegemon, Zhao Jing knows the truth of being prepared. Jiang Miao said before that it is wrong for an emperor to emphasize literature over military affairs or to emphasize military affairs over literature. The best way is to develop quality education while also strengthening national strength. , only when the country is strong can the people have the confidence to live their lives.
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao were responsible for education, and all Zhao Jing could do was keep an eye on the military.
Now that there is a truce between Dayan and Xixia, there is no place to train troops. The conditions on the islands are difficult, and there are always water bandits and pirates on the sea. Letting these soldiers go to attack the islands is also a way to train.
He told Fenglei his thoughts, and Fenglei naturally had no objection, but what he cared about was Zhao Jing's treatment of him.
If someone on the island accepts it, what should he, the leader, do?
Zhao Jing stepped down from the dragon chair, smiled and patted Feng Lei on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the leader still needs you to come. After all, no one is more familiar with the situation at sea than you, but I will send someone to assist you."
On the one hand, his people are training troops, and on the other hand, they are also monitoring. He will never do anything like raising tigers to create trouble, and everything must be solved from the beginning.
"yes!"
When Fenglei heard that his position had not changed, he put down his worries. As for being monitored, Fenglei didn't care. He had surrendered with Fengdao, so he was still worried about being watched.
The two reached a consensus, and Zhao Jing asked him what reward he wanted. He had always been a master with clear rewards and punishments, and Fenglei could satisfy him as long as his demands were not excessive.
Feng Lei hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the people and scenery he saw along the way, he thought of what he wanted.
"Your Majesty, I would like to have some of my children stay in Dayan and let them study in the academy. I would also like to ask Your Majesty to accept them."
Zhao Jing didn't expect that he would only ask for this. She thought he would ask her for gold, silver, jewelry or enfeoffment. Now it seems that he has lost control. Fenglei is planning for his children and arranging their future. alright.
"I will naturally satisfy Aiqing's request, but you only have this one request?"
Fenglei shook his head, "Only this one."
He understands the importance of reading and literacy very well, especially after picking up Dayan's style. Feng Lei no longer wants to let his children go back. On Feng Island, they just sit in a well and watch the sky and spend their days. Sooner or later, they will drown themselves.
"Okay, I'm sure!"
Zhao Jing called Eunuch Jixiang and asked him to collect information about the children of the Feng family and arrange for them to go to the academy to attend classes tomorrow.
Feng Lei thanked him and prepared to leave with his men. Zhao Jing asked his servants to open the treasury and take out some gold, silver and jade articles. Feng Lei could not refuse them, but he could not refuse to give them.
As an emperor, the most important thing is to win over people's hearts. Now that Fenglei respects him the most, a little favor from him can make Fenglei burst into tears of gratitude, not to mention Zhao Jing's generosity and the gold, silver and jewelry he gives are priceless treasures.
Feng Lei walked in front hand and foot, holding a small box in his arms, holding it tightly for fear of being snatched away.
"Chief, the emperor of Dayan is really generous. We have never seen such a good thing on the island, and only Dayan has it."
"Um."
Fenglei tightened his arms, thinking that everyone around him was a thief. Fortunately, he quickly returned to the inn, and after hiding the box, he told the Fengling brothers and sisters about the news of going to the academy. Different from his brother's sighs, Fengling was excited. Very seriously, "Dad, are you telling the truth? Can I really go to the women's hospital?"
