Chapter 269: Killing the Temple of Yan Corpses (2 in 1)
Princess Luobudeji knew that the officials, lords, and temple owners present were dissatisfied, so she simply signed a document on the spot:
"I, Lobudeji, in the name of the daughter of the human god (Zanpu), tell the officials, big and small heads, big and small lamas. Even the demons and monsters should know. You listen to her."
"When she married like a goddess to a distant country that respected the Buddha, she saw the three tribes of Longcuo, Qingxian, and Yuesang being blessed by the auspicious goddess. So, these three tribes were her dowry, no matter how big the land was.
It is barren, but it is Luo Budji’s dowry territory.”
"She appointed her retainer Luo Ning, who is as diligent as a yak and as loyal as a mastiff, as the shepherd guard of the dowry. As the lord of Longcuo City, he is in charge of the serfs, land, cattle and sheep, and trade of the three tribes... to guard the dowry.
May you receive peace, auspiciousness, and prosperity..."
"She gave her retainers, Luoning, the lord of Longcuo City, the title of Polo Mi, a big insect skin scarf, and the snow lotus flag representing Princess Luobu Deji's palace..."
After writing this document, the princess stamped her seal pattern, held it high for everyone to see, and then sent it to Luo Ning.
Then, a three-inch gold and silver Polo Mi Gao body badge and a three-foot-long large insect skin (tiger skin) scarf were rewarded.
When the Tubo people present saw this scene, except for the Naqin leader, their faces were a little gloomy.
This Xia monk appeared out of nowhere and turned into the princess's retainer and Prince Dajin's Anda.
Three tribes, five hundred miles of land, and one million serfs fell under the control of this man.
From then on, there was one more prominent figure in Shunzhou, a young man from Xia.
How could Luoning not know the thoughts of these Tubo nobles?
Although the weather is hot now, Koronin still puts a large insect skin (tiger skin) scarf around his neck, and then pins the Polo Mi family badge on his left arm.
Holding the city lord's appointment document in one hand, he touched his chest with the other and saluted, saying in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"Your Highness the Princess, Tashi Ram, Deji Dolma, your servant is grateful and stands in front of you devoutly. He swears an oath to you."
"He will uphold your kindness, tolerance, and wisdom, and protect the peace, auspiciousness, tranquility, and prosperity of the dowry territory."
"He will bless the princess in a foreign country in Longcuo City and give your blessings to all living beings in Longcuo City..."
Even Dorgon started to admire him.
It turns out that Loninganda speaks Tubo so well.
What he didn't know was that Luo Ning's Jurchen language was also very good.
After Luo Ning finished expressing his position, Master Jiedushi suddenly stood up.
"Princess." Jiedushi is a fourth-grade master, but he still has to respect the princess. "Before the third level, I had to pay taxes equivalent to two million taels of silver every year."
"In addition, they have to bear tens of thousands of government labor services every year."
"Now that the three tribes are classified as dowry territory, there is no government labor. Therefore, I think that labor should be added to the tribute, and it should be calculated as three million."
"These three million taels are the annual tribute given to the princess."
So vicious!
When Luo Ning heard this, he immediately sneered in his heart.
A population of one million bears a tax of two million taels of silver, which is already very heavy. Including men, women, old and children, the average tax is two million taels per person!
This is just the official tax collected by the royal court, not counting the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed privately by the tribal envoys.
The burden on the serfs was extremely heavy. They worked as hard as cattle and horses, and they could barely make ends meet.
But this Jiedushi master actually added one million in one sentence and suggested that the princess collect a tribute of three million!
The reason is that after the three tribes become the princess's private servants, they no longer need to serve in the government!
The Master Jiedushi continued: "Princess is kind, and this annual offering of three million taels is enough for the princess to reward her servants in the Kingdom of Jin."
He is a Jiedu envoy and a fourth-grade monk. If he didn't dare to mention it, then Luo Ning would be too comfortable.
For a Xia boy to feel so comfortable in Tubo land would make many Tubo people uncomfortable.
When the princess heard this, she immediately objected.
"Sangbu Yundan, am I dedicating three divisions as dowry collars just for three million taels of silver? Luo Budeji is the princess of Tubo and the concubine of Dajin. The honor and wealth bestowed by Buddhism are inexhaustible. Use it.
Inexhaustible."
"Am I going to let Rob Deji's name bear an unlucky curse for the sake of these gold and silver?"
The reason why she objected was of course because she did not want to offend Dorgon.
If a tribute of three million yuan is collected a year, then Luoning will not have much profit to make, and the city lord will not be considered a good job, but a hard job.
In this case, why bother leaving this job to Luo Ning?
Sure enough, Dorgon's expression turned gloomy when he heard what Jiedushi said.
"Sangbuyundan, Luoning is my Anda. I am very unhappy with your suggestion."
"I'm sorry, but I didn't think carefully." The Jieduzhi Master said with a bitter smile, "Then let the princess make her own decision."
He is the leader of Shunzhou and has overall military and political power in the area. However, in front of the princess and Dorgon, he can only feel wronged by himself.
"One million," the princess said directly, "One million per year, payable every three years."
Luo Ning immediately beamed with joy, "On behalf of the people of the three tribes, I would like to thank the princess for your kindness!"
If you only pay one million taels, it will be much easier for the three serfs.
His operating space is even greater.
Dorgon smiled and said: "It's a pity that the city lord is not an official official position. But it doesn't matter. With this resume and background, it will be much easier to get an official position."
After speaking, he looked at Jiedushi Sangbuyundan and said, "Sangbuyundan, am I right?"
Only when you have an official position can you be promoted, can you enjoy the aura of the King of Tubo, and can you climb up the ranks.
If Luo Ning does not have a formal official position, even if Luo Ning becomes the city lord of the Hundred Years' Dowry Territory, he will only be a small retainer with no way to rise.
Sang Buyundan smiled and said: "Although it is difficult for Xia people to become officials in Tubo, the Lord of Luoning City is the princess's retainer, and Prince Anda will inevitably become officials in the future."
"Jiu Beile, don't worry. I won't delay the official status of Lord Luo Xiaocheng."
Dorgon nodded, "Thank you then."
He didn't trust these Tubo nobles at all.
These people will definitely reject Luo Ning.
Once he and the princess leave, this is still their world, and it will be easy for them to deal with Luo Ning.
It's a pity that Luo Ning just wants to stay here for the time being and doesn't want to go to the Kingdom of Jin with him.
After thinking about it, Dorgon decided to send two minions to help Luoning.
There are actually three reasons why he thinks about Luo Ning so much.
First, I want to thank Luo Ning.
The second is to take this opportunity to demonstrate his righteousness and magnanimity and impress the hearts of the Daikin envoys.
These three...are just one more move in Shunzhou! One nail!
If Dajin can really dominate the world in the future, it will use troops against Tubo...
Dorgon had long-term thoughts, not just to help Luoning, a good brother.
At this time, Sambuyundan said again: "Princess, the Shoton Festival performance was originally held ten days ago, but because Jiubele was in danger, it has been postponed."
"I would also like to ask the princess to stay a little longer and watch the Shoton Festival performance."
"Of course I can't miss the Shoton Festival performance." The princess immediately expressed her position, "July 18th is an auspicious day, so it will be postponed to July 18th."
Everyone smiled when they heard that the princess still wanted to participate in the Shoton Festival.
………
After the banquet, Dorgon took Luo Ning to his inner tent.
When dozens of Aha (wrapped men) saw Dorgon, they all bowed with horseshoe sleeves and bows.
"Slave, please give my regards to Ezhen (master)! Ezhen is auspicious!"
Among these Aha, there are actually several monks.
"Yinju! Eshu!" Dorgon called.
"Minions are here!" Two seventh-grade monks, a man and a woman, immediately appeared in front of Dorgon.
Dorgon pointed at Luoning, "From now on, you are Luoning Anda's slaves, and he is your Ezhen!"
Yin Zhen and Eshu were startled when they heard this.
"Didn't you hear?" Dorgon's face darkened, "From now on, I am just your old master, and your new master is Luo Ning!"
"Your slave soul contract will also be transferred to his hands."
Yin Zhen and E Shu looked at each other, then saluted Luo Ning together and said, "Slave Yin Zhen (E Shu), please give E Zhen your regards!"
Dorgon smiled and said: "Luoning Anda, you are their real helper. There are too few people around you, so I am worried, so I will let them help you."
Is this true? Luo Ning was also a little surprised.
This Dorgon really gave away both territory and people.
Good brother!
Luo Ning was a little moved.
