Chapter 133 Do you want to test a few acres of land
Chapter 133 How about testing a few acres of land?
Surprise? Unexpected?
The heads of the major tribes and the envoys all had earth-colored faces, and their eyes were full of fear, but there was no hint of surprise.
Everyone guessed the strength of Xidu wrongly. King Xi was unable to conquer the mountain tribes. He was obviously pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
The Black Rhinoceros Tribe is considered to be the top existence among the tribes in the mountains, but even as powerful as the Black Rhinoceros Tribe, they were dealt with by King Xi in minutes, leaving no room for resistance.
This frightened all the tribal leaders.
King Xi can easily control the Black Rhino tribe, which means that he can also easily destroy their tribe.
This cruel fact has to make all the tribal leaders feel sad. In the past, when they paid tribute to Xidu, they all acted in every possible way, making King Xi very unhappy. If King Xi pursues them one by one, their life will be difficult.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
The leaders of the major tribes begged for mercy one after another, and they made eye contact with each other in private. It seemed that everyone was considering whether to rise up and become King Xi, and end it all.
"thump!"
At this time, Cangman threw the five heads on the ground.
Astonishingly, they were the heads of Black Rhino Witch Zhu, Black Rhino King, and three other masters of Qi Refining.
Everyone has been to the Black Rhino Tribe many times in the past few days, and they know the senior leaders of the Black Rhino Tribe very well. Everyone recognized the head when they saw it, and then a chill ran down their spines, and all the previous impulsive thoughts turned into palpitations.
Cangman: "Your Majesty, the heads of the five leaders of the Black Rhinoceros are here. In addition, the Black Rhinoceros King's mount, the Triceratops, committed suicide."
Yao Yun was stunned and committed suicide? This is a strange thing.
"Why commit suicide?"
"Be buried for the Lord."
"Hey, it's really pitiful. Beasts know how to be loyal, but it's a pity that a man who is the leader of a hundred spirits doesn't know that. They are all ambitious, unfaithful and unfilial!"
Yao Yun's accusations against Sang and Huai frightened the tribal leaders into fighting, fearing that King Xi would not like them and find a reason to destroy their tribe.
"Okay, you don't have to be afraid. Gu is not a tyrant, and he will not kill without reason. The Black Rhinoceros tribe refuses to pay tribute and wants to form a tribal alliance to fight against Gu and kill him. As for you...
.”
All the tribal leaders felt tense and uneasy.
Yao Yun chuckled: "There is room for tolerance in Gu. As long as you behave well, Gu will not kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
The leader of the Red Fox Tribe was quick-thinking and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Your Majesty, when I sent tributes to your Majesty, there was a shortage in the clan, and some of the tributes were not available. I have gained a lot from hunting these days, and I will definitely make up for the tributes for your Majesty."
"Well, the leader of Red Fox is interested."
Seeing that large tribes like the Red Fox Tribe were the first to express their loyalty, the other leaders suddenly became anxious and rushed to the front.
"Your Majesty, our tribe has had a good harvest recently. We will also give you another tribute. Among them is a century-old herb. Your Majesty will definitely like it when he sees it!"
"What does this mean? We have half a vicious beast's meat. This thing is a rare and good thing."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have dug up a piece of exquisite jade, it is sparkling and it is a rare treasure!"
.......
Suddenly, the attitude of the previously unruly tribal leaders changed completely. They used to force them to pay tribute with knives, but now they are rushing to pay tribute one by one, for fear that the king will not want their tribute.
This situation actually has a somewhat comic effect.
Cang Man felt deeply. He was the one who was busy collecting tributes before. He knew very well what the major tribes looked like before. They were stingy and cunning, and would give as little as possible.
But now, everyone is afraid that the tributes are not valuable enough to please King Xi. The contrast between the two is really vivid and interesting.
Cangman finally felt proud and proud, and his whole body felt as comfortable as drinking cold water in the dog days of summer. You barbarians are just cheap and dishonest if you don't fight.
Yao Yun tapped the tiger skin throne rhythmically, which coincided with Erha's "meow meow sound". Hearing the expressions of loyalty from the tribal leaders, Yao Yun showed a slight smile on his face, which was a bit mocking but also a bit mocking.
Understanding, he waved his hands and said curiously: "I heard that there is something wrong with the tributes given by the leaders. It seems that there are more tributes than in previous years. Don't you feel distressed?"
Feeling distressed?
It's a shame if you don't feel bad. The prey is hunted by the tribe's warriors after hard work for dozens of miles. The herbs are picked on the cliffs at great risk. Every one of them is not the hard work of the tribe, but even if it is not enough for one's own use,
Just offering it to the king like this made their hearts hurt, like knives stabbing them.
However, what choice do they have? Even if they are unwilling to do so, they still have to put a smile on their face, put on a happy look, and say "don't feel bad about paying tribute to the great dynasty"!
"It's okay if you don't feel bad. If you feel sorry for me, I won't be able to bear it. It's rare for you to be so loyal and filial, and it's hard for me to break your feelings. In this case, let's follow this standard from now on!"
Boom!
As if a bolt of lightning struck down, all the tribal leaders were stunned, with panic in their eyes.
King Xi, are you a devil?
All the tribal leaders suddenly felt like they had shot themselves in the foot. They thought that after showing their loyalty, King Xi would let them off the hook for not punishing everyone.
But what King Xi did was completely beyond their expectations. King Xi was indeed not prepared to go to war, and wanted to reduce the big issues to small ones. However, King Xi did not intend to reduce the big issues to small ones. Instead, he climbed up the ladder and raised the standards of tribute.
Used to punish various tribes.
"Your Majesty, you can't. It's bitter and cold in the mountains. It's not as rich as the city of Xidu. Our income is very unstable. We often go hungry from meal to meal. Life is hard, Your Majesty!"
Some tribal envoys were not just acting, but also showed true feelings. They knelt down and cried on the spot, begging Yao Yun to show his respect.
Yao Yun pretended to be in deep thought, and said quietly: "Well, Gu Ye is considerate of the mountain people. You are right. Living by hunting and picking natural fruits is indeed a hard life."
All the tribal leaders were happy. Could it be that King Xi changed his mind and became soft-hearted? This is really great. It seems that King Xi is still very reasonable.
Unfortunately, before the smiles on everyone's faces could fully bloom, Yao Yun's words immediately made their faces stiffen and they fell into silence.
"In this case, you will become the common people of Xidu. I will teach you how to farm. With the farmland, you will cultivate and hunt, and the flowers will bloom. The days will become more and more prosperous. Isn't this beautiful?"
The leaders of each tribe fell silent for a moment. Although there were moments of excitement, hunting was their means of survival for thousands of years, and they could not change because of King Xi's words.
They were afraid of the life and death of their clansmen, and did not dare to try unknown things easily.
"Your Majesty, you taught us farming. What do we need to do for you? You won't send an army to guard us."
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Hao Shan, the new Qi Refiner of the Leopard Tribe. Seeing this, the leaders immediately turned around to see King Xi's reaction.
Yao Yun had met Hao Shan a long time ago, and he couldn't help but sigh at Hao Shan's cultivation talent, and felt a little regretful in his heart. Although Hao Shan admired him as King Xi, he had his own ideals and could not force him to stay.
Maybe this is better!
Yao Yun nodded slightly towards Haoshan: "Gu will not send an army. You are Gu's people. It is normal to teach you farming techniques and there is no requirement. The people of Xidu pay taxes according to the property per mu, and so do you. Everyone
Think about it, you don’t go hunting every day and have a lot of free time every day. Instead of doing that, why not learn to farm and have a fixed output of food every day?”
For a while, the tribal leaders whispered to each other, seeming to be interested, but no one agreed.
Seeing this, Hao Shan thought it was a good opportunity, so he said: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you can send a teacher to our tribe to teach me a thing or two. I am willing to try to cultivate a few acres of land. If it fails, I will not delay the matter.
If it can be done, the King’s Hong Enchen and the Leopard Tribe will never forget it!”
"It's a good idea to try planting a few acres of land. It doesn't require much manpower and doesn't delay hunting. All major tribes can try it. Well, it's wonderful! It's the right one!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Haoshan expressed his sincere gratitude, kneeling down loudly and saluting reverently.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the other tribal alliance leaders flashed with eagerness. They are no better now than they were then. Back then, they knew nothing and were very resistant to anything in Xidu. However, after so many years, they have not seen the good life of the people of Xidu.
In my eyes, it would be a lie to say that I have no ideas.
I had some concerns before, but now it seems like a good and feasible way to try planting a few acres of land.
