Play like this?!
Everyone looked at Li Xiang with confusion. They didn't understand what Li Xiang's purpose was in making such a request.
Especially the eldest prince, when he heard that Li Zhuo was planning to reward Li Xiang, his heart was in his throat.
He was really afraid that the emperor would increase Li Xiang's fiefdom, or even directly make Li Xiang the crown prince.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Xiang didn't ask Li Zhuo for anything from last time, but wanted to get some benefits from Gondor.
As long as it wasn't a reward from Li Zhuo, the eldest prince wouldn't worry even if Li Xiang really proposed a political marriage to Gondor.
No matter how strong the military power of Liao and Jin was, they could not influence the succession of the throne of the Great Qi.
Even the eldest prince hoped that Li Xiang could make such a request, because once Li Xiang did so, it would definitely lose points in Li Zhuo's heart.
At this moment, everyone was staring at Li Xiang nervously, fearing that he would make some inappropriate requests.
I never thought that Li Xiang’s request was to be awesome, and she asked for it in such an awkward way.
All the officials present understood Li Xiang's meaning, and Gondor naturally understood it as well.
He made a rough judgment and found that there were two cows in the first grid, four cows in the second grid, eight cows in the third grid, and sixteen cows in the fourth grid.
By this calculation, if you want to fill the entire chessboard, you don’t need too many cows, right? A few thousand will be enough?
To be honest, several thousand cattle are indeed a considerable fortune, but for the national teacher of Liao and Jin, he can still afford it.
He also felt that this wealth was in line with Li Xiang's status.
In other words, the prince in front of him did not rely on his status to ask for an exorbitant price. The conditions he offered were all within a reasonable range.
To be honest, Gondor actually felt a little moved at this moment.
In the past, he thought this method was really too soft-hearted, but once he stood on the opposite side of Li Xiang, Gondor had to admit that it felt pretty good.
So he nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, it's a deal! I'll arrange this matter as soon as I get back!"
Li Xiang smiled and nodded, "I believe in the character of the Imperial Master, but this is a serious matter. How about we sign a contract first to record the quantity and fix it, so that we don't have any disputes later and affect the friendship between our two countries."
"Paper and pen!"
Gondor agreed readily. He felt that the people of Da Qi were just being hypocritical and judging others by their own standards!
Soon both parties signed the contract, and Li Xiang happily put the contract in her arms.
Many people looked at him with envy. Although no one had figured out how many cows Gondor would give Li Xiang in the end, everyone had a rough estimate that the number of cows would definitely not be small.
Da Qi was short of cattle. The number of oxen used for drafting is an important indicator to measure whether an agricultural civilization is developed.
Although the cattle coming from the grassland are all beef cattle and are not very good at plowing the land, as long as they are in the hands of farmers, they will always have ways to teach these cattle how to plow the land properly.
With this batch of cattle, I don’t know how much good arable land can be reclaimed. Now that all these cattle are in Li Xiang’s hands, the amount of arable land in his fiefdom will increase again, and his overall strength will inevitably increase a lot.
At this moment, some people have started to become active. Everyone can see that with Lu Chen's support, Li Xiang has gradually established a certain influence. Who can guarantee that she will not have a chance when competing for the throne in the future?
Should we burn the cold stove when Li Xiang has not yet become famous? That is the merit of following the dragon, just thinking about it makes people excited!
What are Li Xiang’s advantages?
He is the most beloved by Li Zhuo and is also the youngest.
Li Zhuo is now in his prime, and as the saying goes, youth is capital!
Think about it carefully. When Li Zhuo is no longer able to do so, the other princes will also be quite old. Are they really suitable to continue to be emperors?
Another big advantage of Li Xiang is the support of Lu Chen, which is equivalent to having the support of the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The advantage of this support is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not a force in the court, so it is relatively cleaner and will not be mixed with the political demands of too many parties.
Moreover, Lu Chen's support for Li Xiang was not at all worldly, unlike those of other princes' supporters.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Chen and Li Xiang showed only one attitude: I can fight for the throne, or I can not fight for it.
Even if I am not an emperor in the future, my life can still be wonderful.
No matter what kind of son Li Zhuo likes, he definitely won't like the kind of son who is eyeing his throne.
No wonder Li Xiang’s favor is increasing now!
Many of the young men in the family will also become officials in the future. If they cannot find their place in the court of Da Qi, they might as well go to Li Xiang's fiefdom to gain some experience for a while.
There are both land and cattle here. I heard that they are still developing water conservancy projects on a large scale. Li Xiang’s future fiefdom will surely be a fertile land!
Of course, some people have other ideas. They think that Li Xiang has obtained so many cattle that she must not be able to handle them all. They wonder if they can buy some cattle from him? Will the price be cheaper? After all, they are all relatives!
Some people are even thinking that since they have a beautiful daughter in their family and the little prince is not married yet, is there any chance?
What? The little prince is only eight years old?
Love is a magical thing. Age, height, wealth, power, gender, and even species are sometimes not important.
