Things From Another World

Chapter 365 Rounding Off, It’s 100 Million

In fact, in many ethnic cultures, including humans, as a king, being willing to marry an "inferior person" as a queen is a major event worthy of publicity.

Historians will publicize this kind of thing as the king's kindness and fraternity, and enemies will publicize this kind of thing as the king likes to rob people's girls and play with their wives. Men will envy the king's great power, and women will envy the lucky girl...

On the one hand, this illustrates the inequality of human rights, and on the other hand, it also illustrates how convenient it is to have power.

On this basis, the king's "acquisition of a queen" always attracts the attention of many people.

Many kingdoms like to use marriage to consolidate their relationship with a certain country, whether it is military, agricultural or commercial trade. Sometimes, being able to marry a powerful country is a great event that can make some small countries celebrate with joy. .

No one cares about whether the girl is willing to be married off. They only care that their country has a strong backer and their lives will become more peaceful. They will even beautify the girl's life in various records. Sacrifice and selfless dedication - no one in future generations knows that the girl was probably put into the carriage crying.

After all, he could be considered a person who had studied history. Tang En was very clear about marriage. However, he did not expect that Barrod would actually propose marriage.

The target is still Tina.

Tina was clearly horrified.

Tang En didn't think that Barrod would fall in love with Tina. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Barrod say: "Although you human women are ugly, tall, eat less and are very weak, I am still willing to Marrying her as one of my queens will make our cooperation more stable."

Hearing this, Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and became even more sure that Barrod was not in love with Tina.

His idea of ​​​​marriage was for political purposes, to allow both parties to have a more stable relationship.

If Tang En was a cold-blooded politician, he would definitely agree out of the consideration of maximizing interests, but it is a pity that he has never been a qualified politician.

Tang En turned around and asked, "Tina, are you willing to marry Barrod?"

Tina bit her lower lip lightly, tears rolling in her eyes. After a moment, she nodded and said, "If that is what you want, Lord Lord, I am willing."

"No, I'm asking what you mean."

Tang En said: "In other words, do you like Barrod?"

How is that possible!

Tina shook her head vigorously.

"In other words, you don't want to marry him?"

Tina nodded through tears.

"So," Tang En shrugged to Barrod and said, "I'm afraid I can't agree to your request for marriage. Of course, even if marriage cannot be achieved, we can still trade."

"Hey! Surface creatures without vision!"

Of course Barrod doesn't like Tina, but she is a surface woman. As a king, if he can marry a surface woman as his queen, it will certainly increase his prestige among his subjects and expand his harem. ,Why not do it?

He spat and said with great dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with me? You actually look down on me? You know I'm the most popular here! I have the most beautiful beard! The most powerful power! The purest Bloodline!”

The most beautiful beard is placed in the front. Does this mean that the beard is the most important scoring item? Is bloodline the least important?

Tang En shrugged and gave Barrod a step down: "Maybe it's because your beard is so beautiful that Tina can't appreciate it."

"It's true that humans are incapable of appreciating the beauty of beards."

Brian and Barrod had a rare common opinion and nodded involuntarily.

Illya looked at Brian, then at Barrod, touched her bare chin, then looked at Tang En, and suddenly she was curious about what her eldest brother would look like if he had a big beard.

She thought for a moment, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

After Tang En gave Barrod a step down, even if the marriage was revealed, Tina finally felt relieved and could eat in peace. For a while, there was no smell of gunpowder in the room.

“This is the most satisfying meal I’ve ever had in my life!”

After the meal, while tasting the fruit dessert in the can, Barrod made a satisfied conclusion: "I am looking forward to the food you bring us."

Tang En said with a smile: "I won't let you down. Not only that, if we sign a trade contract, we will continue to trade food with Red Grotto in the future, and you will no longer have to worry about lack of food."

"Hmph! I'm very good at calculating. Do you think I'll be that stupid?"

Barrod said to Tang En with a sarcastic look on his face: "Grain trade is certainly good, but if we depend on you for all our food, once you deliberately stop the transportation of food, we may soon face severe famine and death. Right? Although it is a bit inappropriate to bring this up now, I have to say that as the king of the underground dwarves, this is something I must consider."

Even if Ellington can provide the underground dwarves with more food than they need, they must have their own place to produce food, and this lifeline cannot be handed over to others.

Tang En was startled. He didn't think much about it, but of course he knew this. What Barrod said was of course Tang En's biggest concern. No matter what time, food production capacity is the most basic thing for a country. One of the most important indicators, Ellington's grain production capacity is seriously insufficient. This situation has been improved after the birth of the combine harvester and seeder. The power of Grandia has greatly slowed down the possibility of famine in Ellington this winter. sex.

In fact, due to the recent emergence of canned food and Grandia's continuous overtime work, by overdrafting the fertility of Ellington's land and harvesting a large amount of food in a short period of time, the residents of Ellington can already eat every meal for the first time this year. It’s a full winter.

"You are thinking too much, but I understand your thoughts because I am also a ruler."

Tang En still had that smiling look on his face, making it impossible for Barrod to see what he was thinking.

"It better be so."

Barrod finished eating the last piece of fruit in the can, licked his lips with unfinished content, feeling the sweet taste, and said to Tang En: "Now, let's go hand over the food."

Tang En then stood up: "Of course, please prepare a large enough warehouse for me. You should understand that nearly 100,000 tons of food is not a small amount."

Although the specific number is 71,000 tons, Barrod has no way to weigh it? It was impossible for him to reweigh such a large amount of goods one by one, so of course Tang En exaggerated.

The others stayed behind, and Tang En and Barrod went to the warehouse. Barrod led the way and asked: "One hundred thousand tons? How much is that? Is it a unit used by humans on the surface?"

Tang En said with a smile: "Yes, it is our common unit. For the convenience of our trade, I can give you specific information and tools later."

Due to the information gap between the two parties, if Tang En was cunning enough, he could have manipulated the unit conversion and made an astonishing price difference from it. However, Tang En understood a truth deeply.

Integrity is the basis for everything.

If he started trading with the idea of ​​exploiting the underground dwarves from the beginning, then both sides would definitely fall apart before long.

Since there is the possibility of mutual benefit, there is no need to be too greedy.

Anyway, his goal is to use the rich mineral resources of the underground dwarves to expand Ellington's production capacity.

Soon, Barrod took Tang En to a huge underground warehouse: "How about it? If it's not enough, there are several more."

"These combined should be enough."

There are many dried mushrooms stored in this warehouse. It seems to be a warehouse where the underground dwarves store food. It is very huge, but most of the space is unused. It is the same size as a hangar. If there are more, 70,000 tons of cans Totally able to let go.

"Back off."

Tang En stepped forward and stretched out his hand. A dark vortex suddenly appeared in the space above. Then, the cans were sprayed out. They flew out in the magic orbit set by Tang En and landed steadily. In the warehouse, it quickly piled up into a hill.

Watching more and more cans flying out, Barod's frown finally relaxed. In recent times, no one knows how much pressure he is under. The death of those gargoyles will completely make the underground dwarves lose their lives. If you are not qualified to participate in the Demonic Abyss Competition, you will not be able to compete for the ownership of caves that can grow food. Once the dry season enters, many people will starve to death.

Now that Tang En has arrived as promised, the urgent need has finally been solved.

The next step is to find a way to recapture the monster, tame it from scratch, reach the minimum standards for competition as quickly as possible, and make a last stand in the competition.

While releasing the can, Tang En said: "At the beginning, we said it was enough food for 100,000 people for three months. We made precise calculations and deductions based on Brian's appetite, and came up with a figure. A total of ninety thousand worth of food needs to be prepared. The food worth 10,000 gold coins totals 71,000 tons, but to show our sincerity, the food we brought this time totals 100,000 tons.”

Although the extra part was the weight of the iron box and water, Tang En felt that he was not lying at all. He hadn't said anything serious yet. If he rounded it off, it would be 100 million!

When Barrod heard this, he was immediately ecstatic. The impact of the huge good news made his hatred for Tang En disappear. Although he did kill his monsters and caused heavy losses to the Underground Dwarf Kingdom, but now He has already expressed his apology with practical actions, not to mention those Warcraft may not allow him to win so much food in the Demon Abyss Competition.

Such a powerful mage expressed his apology so sincerely, could he refuse?

The most important thing is that if you don’t accept the kindness, you won’t be able to beat me...

Accepting his apology and establishing bilateral trade relations was his only option.

Tang En kept smiling. This was the effect he wanted: Although I beat you to tears, I want to apologize and you are not allowed to refuse. I trade with you to express my apology and to take care of you.

As for what will happen after accepting the trade...

Have you ever heard of cultural invasion?
