The family and the royal family seem to have never been able to coexist, because for the royal family, the entire country belongs to them, and they hope to control everything in the country.
But those families are different. If a family wants to develop, it will definitely affect the development of the country. Their development will have some thrust on a country, but you have to admit that most of them have negative effects.
Although the Hu family has a good relationship with the Dao family, there is a premise that compared to other families, the Hu family has done very well. They have controlled their greed well and have not encountered the Dao family. bottom line.
This time, Zhao Hai went deep into the grassland as a sword guard. Not only did he see through the conspiracy of the Wolf Soul Kingdom, but he was also able to run to the desert in time and organize a force to carry out destruction in the grassland. The good coordination of the war in Huangfeng City, coupled with Zhao Hai's performance in Huangfeng City, coupled with Zhao Hai's young age, all of this shows that Zhao Hai is a person with a bright future. For such a Of course the Dao family wants to win over young people.
But Zhao Hai is from the Hu family. If the Dao family wants to win over Zhao Hai, they have to think more. Zhao Hai really has nothing to do about this situation.
But to be honest, Zhao Hai really had no idea whether to see Dao Mingyuan or not. Although Dao Mingyuan was an emperor, such an emperor was nothing in the eyes of Zhao Hai, a monk who had experienced countless interfaces. , but he is now in the soul world, and his strength has not recovered. There is a Hu family behind him, so he has to give Dao Mingyuan this face.
After chatting with Hu Xianer, Zhao Hai returned to his room in Daojun Pavilion. Although he is still sitting in Songlin Residence, Ma Liang and the others are very clear that Zhao Hai is not on the same level as them at all. Although they still talk when they meet and have a good relationship, Zhao Hai can feel it. Ma Liang and the others were still a little cautious when facing him.
This made Zhao Hai feel even more unnatural, but because he wanted to see Dao Mingyuan, he couldn't leave yet. So he spent most of his time in the college's library, or on the plants in the college.
When Zhao Hai returned to the academy this time, he also understood what results Wan Jun and the others had achieved. They improved several plants in the academy that had been tamed by people. And the effect is very good, especially for a kind of grain. After improvement, the yield of this grain has not only increased, but it is also less likely to get sick. This achievement is very remarkable.
Now in the academy, there are many people doing the same thing as Zhao Hai. Most of these people are plantists. As Hu Xianer said, they have already studied the plants in the academy. As if it was their own job, Zhao Hai couldn't help but shake his head secretly. They would never understand how much accumulation was needed in the early stage for Wan Jun and the others to achieve such good results.
Not to mention anything else, without the support of Daofuliu, it would be impossible for them to obtain some very important previous research information on Daofuliu. Without the support of Zhao Hai, a planter with rich field observations, it would be difficult for them to obtain those plants. If you just want to observe these plants in the college, you can understand their characteristics clearly. Then when trying to think of ways to improve it, it is almost impossible because there are so many things involved.
However, Zhao Hai did not persuade those people. Because even if he said it, those people might not listen, even though he is now very famous in the academy.
Everyone in the college knew that Wan Jun and the others were able to achieve such results all because of Zhao Hai. It was precisely because of this idea. Many people in all colleges are still willing to contact Zhao Hai, but unfortunately, Zhao Hai does not like to contact these people very much.
Among the people who come into contact with Zhao Hai, most of them are disciples of Zhishi from small and medium-sized families. Their basic skills are far behind Wan Jun and others. Even if Zhao Hai wants to communicate with them, it will be difficult. With such a foundation, they still want to study plant improvement? In Zhao Hai's view, if there is no strong support from people, they will not be able to achieve anything even if they study until their hair turns gray.
Time passed day by day. On the tenth day after Zhao Hai and the others returned to Hengdao City, a group of soldiers entered the academy and informed Zhao Hai that His Majesty would see him tomorrow and asked Zhao Hai to follow them to Hengdao City today. Go to town.
Zhao Hai naturally said nothing and had no choice but to follow the soldiers into Hengdao City. Hu Zhong also followed Zhao Hai to Hengdao City this time. Zhao Hai was a member of the Hu family after all. This kind of thing, Hu Zhong It was impossible not to follow and help Zhao Hai take care of everything.
After entering the city, Zhao Hai was placed in a special post office. Then all his weapons were disarmed and he was even asked to take a bath and incense. This made Zhao Hai feel very strange. He really He didn't know that if he wanted to meet Emperor Zhao Hai, he would have to do so many things, as if he were to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine.
After Zhao Hai cleaned up, a eunuch came to teach Zhao Hai the rules. Hu Zhong also warned Zhao Hai for a long time, and he kept tossing until very late before letting Zhao Hai sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Hai had no time to eat, so he was taken away by the eunuch who taught him the rules, and then entered the palace under the protection of soldiers.
After arriving at the palace, he was led to a separate room to rest. There was only a small couch, a pot of tea, and nothing to eat in that room. Zhao Hai could only starve, because the one who taught him the rules The eunuch has been watching, and he can't take things out of the soul space, so he can only endure it.
He entered the palace before dawn and waited until after nine o'clock in the morning before hearing the news that the emperor wanted to summon him, and it was still in the main hall of the meeting room.
Zhao Hai followed the eunuch to the conference hall. In front of the conference hall was a huge square. There were many soldiers standing in the square. These people were wearing metal armor, all of them were soldiers, and they were full of murderous intent. , one can tell at a glance that they are not so easy to get along with, they are all elites in the army.
After being led by the eunuch, Zhao Hai came to the outside of the main hall of the meeting room. When he arrived under the main hall of the meeting room, he was stopped by an eunuch outside the meeting hall. The eunuch looked at Zhao Hai carefully, and then he said: " Tian Hecao was summoned to see you."
After saying that, the eunuch carefully opened the door of the hall. Zhao Hai took a deep breath and walked in. There is no such thing as three kneels and nine bows in the Blade Soul Kingdom. In addition, Zhao Hai is a planter, and a planter is equivalent to a noble. When he sees the king, he only needs to kneel down and worship. So it's not very troublesome to follow the etiquette.
Zhao Hai walked into the main hall and saw the nobles sitting on both sides of the main hall. They were all the same from the Sword Soul Kingdom, or all the empires in the entire soul world. Nobles can sit in the meeting hall when discussing matters with the king. This is very humane.
Zhao Hai strode into the hall, and his height naturally attracted everyone's attention. Zhao Hai walked until he was parallel to the first row of nobles, then stopped, and then knelt down on one knee. , saluted the sword Mingyuan sitting on the king above, and said in a deep voice: "Tian Hecao pays homage to my king."
A deep voice came: "That's it. Get up."
Zhao Hai once saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying that, he stood up. At the same time, he also had the opportunity to look at the sword Mingyuan that the king was sitting on.
Dao Mingyuan doesn't look very old, he looks like he's in his fifties, and his hair is a little gray, but he takes good care of it and maintains it well. He looks very energetic. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Dao Baiying, but he is more imposing. He sits there like a mountain. There is really a sense of self-importance without anger.
Dao Mingyuan is also looking at Zhao Hai now. He knows about Zhao Hai. He has also heard about Zhao Hai's unusual height, but he has never had much impression. Now when Zhao Hai really stood in front of him, he understood the reason why Zhao Hai was called a troll by the grassland people.
Dao Mingyuan glanced at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice: "Tian Hecao, do you know why I asked you to come?"
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "The common people don't know."
Dao Mingyuan looked at Zhao Hai and said: "You are less than twenty years old, and you can defeat the masters of the Condensation level of the Wolf Soul Kingdom in Huangfeng City. You killed several people, and even chopped down the golden wolf banner at one time. How can I turn a blind eye to such a great achievement? So I called you here today just to see what kind of heroic young man you are who can do such a thing. Okay, Tian Hecao, you It really didn’t disappoint me.”
Zhao Hai said with a calm face: "The grassland people are from the Sword Soul Country. When the country is invaded by foreign enemies, the grassland has that ability and will naturally fight with anger. It is not worthy of His Majesty's praise."
When Dao Mingyuan heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, that's good, hahaha, Tian Hecao, you really didn't disappoint me. I will make you the Troll Baron today. Do you want to make the land?" , we’ll talk about it later.”
Obviously, those ministers didn't know about Dao Mingyuan's reward this time, so when they heard that Zhao Hai was made a baron, the people in the hall couldn't help but started talking in low voices, but when they heard that there was no fiefdom, the voices of discussion It disappeared immediately.
In the Blade Soul Kingdom, there are generally two types of titles. One is a title with a fief. No matter how big or small your title is, it can be hereditary and is considered a true noble. The other is a title without a fiefdom. A title without a fiefdom cannot be hereditary. Such a title is generally only given to those who have made contributions to the country, but the credit is not great. He has the status of a title. It will be more convenient to do things in the country of Soul Soul, and business can be tax-free. If he sells the land, the land will also be tax-free, but in general, this title is just a status symbol, which can be given to him It brings some convenience, but as soon as he dies, the title will be automatically taken back by the country, and his descendants will have no way to enjoy the benefits of the nobility. This is completely different from the hereditary title. It is precisely because of this, So Dao Mingyuan gave Zhao Hai a title. Although there were some discussions among the people in the hall, because he was not given a fiefdom, those people did not take it to heart. In the eyes of those big families, nobles without fiefdoms were simply useless. Can't be called aristocrat.
When Zhao Hai heard that Dao Mingyuan actually gave him a title, although this surprised him, he still knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Dao Mingyuan waved his hand and asked Zhao Hai to get up, and Zhao Hai also Just stood up.
Dao Mingyuan looked at Zhao Hai and said: "When you were in Huangfeng City, you used many mutant plants called baobabs to solve the food crisis in Huangfeng City. I heard that you have left those baobabs in If we go to Huangfeng City, what is the fruit yield of this baobab tree? Can it be planted on a large scale?"
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the baobab tree can be used as emergency food, but it is not suitable to be grown as food. The baobab trees used by me are all mutated seeds, which can be used under the influence of natural energy. Under the conditions, they can mature and bear fruit quickly, but if natural energy is not used, like ordinary baobab trees, it will not work. Ordinary baobab trees will take several years to mature and bear fruit, and every time they bear fruit, , the number is not very large, and this kind of tree will grow very huge, so it cannot be planted too densely, otherwise it will affect the yield. Therefore, it is okay to plant it as an ornamental tree, but it is okay to plant it as food. It’s not suitable.”
Dao Mingyuan nodded, with a look of regret on his face. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go down." Zhao Hai immediately saluted Dao Mingyuan and then slowly withdrew. After entering the main hall, he was summoned by Dao Mingyuan this time. In addition to giving him a title, there was no reward at all. However, Zhao Hai was not disappointed. In any case, he was also a noble and would be able to do things in the future. More convenience is always a good thing.
After leaving the main hall, the eunuchs who led him led him to the gate of the palace at once. His visit this time was considered completed. Hu Zhong was waiting for him outside the gate of the palace. When he saw him coming out , Hu Zhong immediately came up to him, looked at him and said: "Master Hecao, how is the situation?"
Zhao Hai shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have obtained the title of baron, but there is no fiefdom. Uncle Zhong, let's go." When Hu Zhong heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help showing a look of regret, but he didn't say anything. He led Zhao Hai into the carriage and left the palace together. The Hu family also had a house in Hengdao City, and Zhao Hai was going to live in that house today.
For a big family like the Hu family, a baron title without a fiefdom is really nothing. Although this title is still very useful in the Blade Soul Kingdom, don't forget that Zhao Hai is a planter. He is equivalent to a noble in his own right, and he can basically enjoy the rights that nobles can enjoy. Now that he is given such a title, although it will make him more convenient, basically speaking, this title is more important to him. Zhao Hai's help is not very great.
But Hu Zhong couldn't say anything. In any case, this title was awarded by Dao Mingyuan, and it was a good thing. So after they returned to the Hu family's house in Hengdao City, they still gave Zhao Hai a small Celebrated a bit, although Zhao Hai thought it was not necessary at all. (To be continued.)
