Chapter 6 Castle Wine Affair
"You don't know something, but because of an earthquake not long ago, a passage appeared in the middle of the mountains. This envoy came through this passage."
Changsun Sheng decided to tell the truth. Anyway, in the future, trade between the two places could not be concealed.
"Oh? That earthquake? I didn't expect that a passage would be opened!" Kevin was also surprised by this. If the two people in front of him weren't actually standing in front of him, he would definitely not believe these words.
of.
"Yes, I am also very surprised. This may be a gift from God!" Changsun Sheng said truthfully: "It is really a good thing to allow the two places to communicate!"
"By the way, Sir Kevin, on my way to your place, I saw many people displaced by the earthquake. I wonder how you would deal with it?" Changsun Sheng suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Didn't my lord say that who will take care of these untouchables? But without these untouchables, the taxes collected by my lord will be reduced, which is not good!" Kevin also remembered that these 'untouchables' in his mouth are the ones he collects taxes from.
the source of.
"York, go and inform these untouchables and tell them to go back to where they came from. The house will not be rebuilt if it is gone. Go quickly!"
"Yes, my lord!" The man named York bowed to Kevin and exited the hall.
"Your Excellency Kevin, I wonder if you have considered the treaty of trade and friendship proposed by this envoy?" Changsun Sheng is not like the other party. He still remembers the ultimate goal!
"Okay, okay, I agree! Why are you asking so many questions!" Kevin was a little tired of the other party's questions and said: "You don't want to leave today. The lord is hosting a banquet for you tonight, so you must have a good time!"
Changsun Sheng looked back at Ren Xian, and after a brief thought, agreed: "The envoy is more respectful than obeying orders! But the guards brought by the envoy outside the city still need to be repaired. I wonder if Mr. Kevin will let them enter the city?"
"What? Let the army enter the city? No, absolutely not!" Before Kevin could speak, a man who looked like a 'knight' standing next to the 'First Knight' firmly objected.
"Lord, let the other side's army enter the city. What if the other side has evil intentions?"
Kevin still agreed with the knight's words and confirmed: "Jerry is right, the army cannot enter the city!"
"Okay then, I'll send the guards out of the city to inform them!" Changsun Sheng was just trying it out, but he didn't have much hope at all.
Later in the afternoon, Ren Xian commanded the cavalry outside the city to retreat a certain distance and set up camp on a hill. He completely ignored the chief diplomat in the city - this was Chang Sun Sheng's request!
…
At night, a long table was placed in the middle of the castle hall, which was piled with food from this world. Golden fluffy bread, fragrant barbecue, white soup...
The buffet dining model was very novel to Changsun Sheng.
At the dinner party, several attendants stood in the corner of the hall, waiting to take orders from the nobles at any time.
The ladies and ladies were all dressed up, and the gentlemen were also polite, holding silver wine glasses in their hands. They were gathered in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing happily.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was almost complete, Lord Kevin picked up a small spoon from the dinner plate and tapped the wine glass in his hand. The clear sound of 'ding ding' attracted the attention of most people present.
Kevin was very satisfied to see that everyone's attention was focused on him. He nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Tonight's banquet is prepared by my lord for the guests from the south. Everyone must accompany the guests well."
Yeah!"
"Come, let's toast our guests together with my lord!" Kevin said, raising his glass and drinking the wine in his hand.
"Your Excellency, you are very polite. I would like to lend you flowers to offer to the Buddha. I would like to offer a drink to you and your Excellencies. Cheers!" Changsun Sheng replied. After speaking, he drank the wine in his hand.
The wine at the banquet was completely different from the home-made wine. It was a little sweet and light yellow in color without much alcohol flavor. "I would have given a bottle of wine if I had known about it. Giving a pen to this person is simply insulting!"
"Hahaha, the envoy is worthy of being a cultured person. His words are nice and I like them!" Kevin liked what Chang Sun Sheng said. He didn't understand some of the words. What he liked was what Chang Sun Sheng said to him.
, after the trade route is opened, there will be many gifts such as crystal wine glasses.
Everyone present, after their lord finished speaking, came forward to talk to Changsun Sheng one after another, changing cups and cups, complimenting and trying to please him, it was so lively!
Changsun Sheng also took advantage of this opportunity to talk.
"Hello, hello. I am very happy to come to your country. What do you call me?"
"Oh, hello, John. Are you a noble?"
"Ah, disrespectful, it turns out that your family is a financial officer loyal to the Bill family for generations!"
"What? There is such a thing. I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that Mr. Kevin is still a Lord!"
"Your Excellency is knowledgeable and I admire you. I wonder how many warriors your lord has?"
"Really? There are three thousand warriors, it's really awesome!"
"I would like to offer you a drink. I wonder if there are more powerful territories elsewhere?"
"Oh, this is a remote area. There are many powerful territories in the middle of the continent! I am really ignorant. I wonder how many territories there are in this continent?"
"Countless territories! What a wonderful and prosperous world! It must be very peaceful, there will be no conflicts!"
"It's unbelievable. There are wars every day. A lot of people will die. Then why are there so many territories that won't be occupied?"
"Is there a treaty? It's agreed not to harm the nobles, not destroy the castle, and not occupy the territory! It's really a friendly treaty!"
"Is there any difference between so many territories?"
"There are many differences? In which aspect? Of course it is the difference in the strength of the overall power!"
"I don't know? There's no way you remote territories can compare with those powerful lords in the middle of the continent!"
…
After the banquet, Changsun Sheng gained a lot. He obtained a lot of intelligence information. He could also ask some questions that were not easy to ask directly, and he found out a lot of useful information.
Although with more exchanges, this basic information will be known to the country sooner or later, but the earlier you know it, the earlier you can formulate countermeasures!
Suddenly, Kevin knocked on the wine glass again, his face flushed, and he said with a drunken smile: "The next step is a program that will make everyone happy and happy!"
"Hey hey hey..."
The gentlemen present showed their elusive and obscene laughter. But the ladies' faces were flushed and full of excitement.
