Chapter 81 A trip to the capital

[After thinking about it, let's put this paragraph first!First of all, Tianqi Tianhansan is back again, my sister has gone, she has been buried today, and the memorial service has ended. Tianqi puts away the sadness in his heart, and works hard to make up all the updates that are missing in the past few days. Thank you for your support. . 】

There are 81 door studs in nine vertical and nine horizontal lines on the magnificent gate, which is still gilded. Andy stared at it and said: "Only if it represents the supremacy of the imperial power can there be 81 door studs. The mansions of princes and nobles also have door studs, but the number is relatively small. Decrease, and most of them are made of iron, it seems that His Majesty the King values ​​you very much and treats you on an equal footing."

If you want something from someone, you should give it first, and the gift is a good thing. The ancient Chinese saying came to Xu Tian's mind. It seems that the request will not be so low this time, and he can't even pick up a heavy gift.

The courtyard is deep and deep, the rockery is layered with mountains, and the courtyard is well-proportioned. It is elegant and elegant, and the whole mansion is decorated with gold and jade.

Although Xu Tian, ​​who was mentally prepared, was still completely shocked by the luxury of this mansion, the level is really high, quite connotative, only a little worse than the Suzhou gardens, it is not that he did not think about inventing glass when he first traveled. It’s a pity that all the things I went to school back then were returned to the teacher, and I didn’t have to make them if I wanted to. Besides, these things already exist in other worlds. The level of alchemy in this world is quite high. As for gunpowder Xu Tian He only remembered that he needed saltpeter, old twigs and the like, but he couldn’t remember the specific raw materials at all. Besides, with the ability to summon the Red Police, he didn’t like those low-grade things. The things in the Red Police were the real ones. High technology!It's a pity why didn't you play StarCraft when you were on the train?If you are playing interstellar, then the thing that is summoned now is not going to kill people.

With such a big house, it can be sold for some money, but not now, it would be too disrespectful to King Alex 23 to sell it after changing hands, let’s talk about it later!Enjoy first.

It took Xu Tian a long time to complete this huge courtyard, letting him know that rich people spend money like this. It seems that they have been lucky recently, as soon as they run out of money, someone will give it to them. This kind of life is too much.

Because Xu Tian was going to attend the palace banquet in the afternoon to receive the reward, it was almost time for Andy to see him, so he left softly, and when he arrived, Xu Tian even blackmailed him, rubbing his hands for a while, "Hey, fat brother, do you have some change on you?" Have you borrowed some from my brother, preferably gold coins, so that I can reward my servants, or I will lose face. My magic crystal card was thrown in the fortress and I didn’t bring it back. Don’t give me the magic crystal card, give me the magic crystal card. Don't worry, I don't have time to exchange gold coins!"

Andy was puzzled, the magic crystal card was placed in the fortress, no way!Going out without money, well, maybe this is possible!How did he know that I just took a lot of gold coins and planned to make a golden bed to sleep in, so I'd better give them all to him!Relying on him as a big tree, there must be a future.

"Hehe, brother, what are you talking about, isn't mine yours? Take it, here is one hundred thousand gold coins, if it is not enough, tell me, don't forget me when you get rich in the future, I will go back and report to the dean first. ""I will definitely remember the other ones, fat brother, go slowly, I won't see you off."

"Yes, what's yours is mine, but what's mine is still mine." Xu Tian looked at Andy's huge buttocks and thought in his heart, and as Andy twisted away, he felt that his buttocks didn't seem to be the same as before. It's so ugly, and the money came too easily, and I'm going to sell some magic cores, it seems that there is no need for that, and I will do less things that are too cheap in the future. After all, I am a celebrity, so I need to pay attention to the influence.

While discussing with Bond and the others, the two guards came to announce that it was time for the banquet, and they brought a bunch of maidservants to change Xu Tian's clothes. Xu Tian didn't pay much attention to dressing, so he waved them off .

I came to the palace in a carriage, and browsed around. There is only one word "vulgar", three words "upstart", and the same virtue as the gate of the Royal Academy. The road paved with gold bricks, all kinds of gems, pearls, emeralds, The walls and ceilings inlaid with agate, and the walls made of jade, all show the temperament of a nouveau riche. When asked, it was indeed built by Emperor Alex the Great for a thousand years. Xu Tian couldn't figure it out. How could the great emperor be so obsessed with money?More dragons than dragons!Also, it seems that this world still has a certain level. It is not easy for the palaces decorated with gold, silver and jewelry to be preserved for thousands of years.

When I came to the banquet hall, because it took some time to visit the palace, the banquet had already started, Alex 23 waved the crowd to stop, and asked: "How is it? Your Majesty is satisfied with that mansion!"

"Well, it's okay!"

"That's good, come on, look at the map on the wall, all the territory of the kingdom is on it, you can choose whatever you want."

Surrounded by envious eyes, Xu Tian went to the map and studied it for a long time, but he couldn't understand the map. It's not that Xu Tian didn't learn geography well, but he didn't know the words of this world. The level of drawing this map is also very average.
Alex 23rd had a smile on his face: "Okay! I think you must be too picky, why did you like that piece!"

Xu Tian thought: "The territory of the four major families must not be chosen, and even if His Majesty the King is willing to give it to him, there is no way to manage it. After all, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and various means have emerged endlessly. It is not necessary to establish a powerful enemy. "

"This? Can someone introduce me? I don't know the geography of the kingdom very well."

Everyone was taken aback, why did he ask this?
Minister of Military Aircraft Stephen approached, "The central region is fertile, with a pleasant climate, good weather, and dense population. It is one of the most prosperous areas on the mainland. With the introduction of foreign policies, trade has become more and more prosperous. Now it can be said that the wealth is abundant. , is the economic center of the entire continent;..." Stephen introduced the best provinces to Xu Tian one by one, but Xu Tian kept his face expressionless. Stephen didn't know what he was thinking, sighed, and continued: " There are also two provinces, one is the 'Mississippi Province' in the southeast, which is the largest province in the empire and has several large islands within its jurisdiction. The province is sparsely populated; there is also the 'Ecuador Province' next to the Andes Mountains in the northwest, where there is a sea of ​​sand, and the huge desert resisted the attack of the Atlantis Empire..."

After hearing what Stephen said, Xu Tian already had a plan in mind, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind."

"Oh?" Alex 23 smiled and said, "Tell me, which piece of geomantic treasure land have you taken a fancy to?"

The civil and military officials couldn't help stretching their heads to look at the map, and most of them agreed: he would probably choose the Central Plains!It is definitely no problem to draw a province in the middle of the country close to the trade road, but it is sitting on a province with tens of millions of people and fertile land, and there are several large trading markets that are constantly doing foreign trade. In the future, there will be a lot of wealth, not to mention that the wealth can rival the country, I am afraid it will not be much worse!
Xu Tian stretched out his hand and pointed on the map, with a smile on his face: "This is the place I've set my sights on."

He pointed his finger at a corner of the map, and everyone who looked at his finger was stunned!

Alex 23rd had a warm smile on his face, but it gradually disappeared at this moment. He took a deep look, and his voice suddenly became a little dry: "You... really think it through? Is this your final decision?"

Facing His Majesty's eyes, Xu Tian said slowly: "I figured it out, I want to be here."

Everyone around showed incredible expressions. For a moment, I am afraid everyone thought he was crazy, but he actually chose the southeast, the "Mississippi province" by the sea of ​​storms.

A barren, ignorant, and even barbaric backward area with a population of less than one million. In terms of financial income, the annual income of such a province is not even comparable to that of a wealthy medium-sized city in the central region, although it was once prosperous However, it has fallen into disrepair for hundreds of years. Except for some people who can't bear to leave their hometown, they live scattered, few people will go there, and the sea suffers from natural disasters constantly.

Alex 23rd was in a turmoil, Xu Tian's move completely disrupted his deployment, he hummed softly, "Yes." and walked away.

Xu Tian tasted the royal wine with great interest, "The taste is quite strange. It is my personality to not take the usual way, just to make you unexpected." Only by staying away from the mainland can he better develop his own strength. The densely populated places are beyond his ability to manage. Xu Tian can't even manage himself. How can he manage others? Places with a lot of people are not safe. He doesn't have the energy to deal with it every day. The Atlantis Empire has been attacking and assassinating waves one after another.

"Annie, you can receive him instead of the father. I have to think about what to do? Your second uncle didn't reply. I don't know what attitude the Thunder God Tower has. The father did not lose money this time. I didn't expect It was beyond my expectation that he wanted that piece of land that the kingdom had almost given up on. The series of measures previously arranged had no effect. I hope that Thunder God Tower can be satisfied with this bargaining chip. If not, give him some rewards! How embarrassing! Hey! He didn't want so many rich provinces, but he chose a "Mississippi Province" that the kingdom was about to give up. He had planned well. With his own strength, even if he was given a province, he would There are not so many subordinates, and if we control it at all, it will still be ours in the end, and we can also get the support of the Thunder God Tower." Alex 23, the empty-handed white wolf, made it very powerful.

"The great war a thousand years ago destroyed the land veins there, and it is not suitable for human survival at all. It has become an abandoned land. If the origin of the kingdom was not there, the kingdom would have given up a long time ago. Kavana, Xu Tian's The territory is not very far from your family's territory, so keep an eye on him when you have time!" Alex 23 thought for a while.

Annie's curiosity towards Xu Tian became more and more intense. She didn't know what was going on in his mind. Who knew that she walked around the banquet hall, but she didn't find Xu Tian, ​​but some princes and nobles and those so-called young talents came from time to time. Anne was overwhelmed and fled quickly, only to find that Xu Tian was staring at the moon in a daze while holding a wine glass. His figure cast a long shadow on the ground, and it was only when he walked in that he heard him muttering to himself. He said something in a strange language, but combined with the moonlight and the atmosphere of the scene, there was an indescribable desolation.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xu Tian was awakened by Annie's voice, and he rubbed his eyes, "No, it's nothing, I felt it for a while, and Her Royal Highness laughed."

"Can you tell me what you were talking about just now? It's heartbreaking to hear."

"It's an old saying in my hometown. Translated into the common language of the mainland, it means looking up at the bright moon and bowing your head to think about your hometown." Xu Tian said with a slight smile.

"What a strange sentence, but the artistic conception is profound."

Suddenly Xu Tian's expression changed, Xiao Bei's voice came from a tiny earphone in his ear, Xu Tian had made arrangements before coming here, don't disturb if there is nothing important, it seems that the capital is not very peaceful! "Your Highness, I still have some private matters to deal with. I am very grateful to His Majesty the King for his reward. I also understand what he means. When I came, the teacher told me that the Thunder God Tower will remain in the Thunder God Fortress and strictly abide by neutrality. The high-level members of the Mage Tower know the news that the deterrent force against the Atlantis Empire should still be there, as for whether the Atlantis Empire comes to attack or not, it is not my business, so I will leave first."

"Being the disciple of that old guy Layton still has a few tricks. Everything is clear, but it's such a good opportunity this time." Annie thought with a gloomy face, "It seems that the plan needs to be changed, but why did he choose to be close to the storm? Where is the territory of Zhihai? Don’t you know that there is…”

Xu Tian hurried back to the mansion, "Xiao Bei, what's the matter, wow, there are so many corpses." There were more than ten corpses placed in the courtyard hall, "Commander, just after you left, several groups of people sneaked in to investigate Tan, according to your order, no one will stay, and all of them will lie down here."

"Damn, it seems that this place of right and wrong in the imperial capital can't stay for a long time. Tomorrow, I will say goodbye to that king and go to the territory to hide for a while, otherwise I don't know what will happen?" Xu Tian knew that there must be Alex 23 The arrangement of the world is in it. On the one hand, it is to test his own strength, and on the other hand, he wants to create a sense of crisis and get closer to the royal family. How can Xu Tian do what they wish, 36 tricks, and leave.
