Gold escape plan

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, readers... I'm home, and I forgot to post when I had too many things. . .It's late...it's too late...

Cook's family is quite well-connected and famous. It seems that the ancestors were also in business, and they were wealthy businessmen.

Later, somehow, a priest came out of his ancestors, and then it was hereditary.However, the Cook family has not forgotten the old line of business, and has been doing it with both hands until now.

The Cook family contributes a lot of money to the Tikal royal family every year, which also ensures the family's longevity.And Huo Qin couldn't cover the sky with one hand, so he didn't remove Cook from the position of high priest.

Even so, however, life was not easy for him.

The other priests knew what kind of person he was, and everyone regarded his improper transaction with the low-level priest Yagur as a laughing stock.

And how did this joke come about? It is said that two or three months ago, when Cook and Yagur were meeting at the border, a carrier pigeon from a civilian flew directly to the high priest in charge of the legal system, reporting that someone on the border was talking to him. The Karamoks do business.

And this is absolutely not allowed!

So, the high priest happily led people to the border and stayed there for three days, but "accidentally" ran into Yagur and Cook together, and clearly heard every word they said talk--

"Didn't you promise me to help me return to Tikal?"

"Well..." Cook said: "Baby, I promised you, but that was before. The current situation is so tense, it is not easy for me to handle here."

"I've given you all my money, even me, what more do you want?"

"Money? Do you think I care about that little money?"

"No, no, no," Yagur said hurriedly, "You don't care about money, but I... I'm very clean, and I only gave you what you need from the beginning to the end."

"Well, you're pretty smart."

……

The conversation between the two made all the priests blush and their hearts beat, as if they had stumbled upon someone else's secret.

So, from the next day, there was an extra topic of conversation after everyone's gossip.

I have long thought that Yagur can be a priest is problematic!He didn't have any real talents. When he was in the city of Tikal, he knew how to patrol the civilian areas every day, collect money from wealthy businessmen, and open special passages for them, without making any contribution.

So everyone came to a conclusion at the time - Yagur came up by relying on Cook!

Therefore, everyone is aware of the grievances between Cook, Ma Xiaorui and Huo Qin.

In their eyes, Cook's objection to letting farmers fallow is purely a personal grievance, and he is just a trash with a mouth full of dung.

The senior priest didn't say a word during Ma Xiaorui's report and during their discussion, just sat gloomily aside.If he hadn't said "disagree" just now, they all thought he didn't come today!

All the priests looked at each other——

"Why don't you agree? No measure is [-]% successful..."

"Yes, we have to try to know the result."

"I was looking at it with the mentality of doing an experiment. If it doesn't work, just give up this method."

"The families of the fallow farmers will receive incentive money, and it will not affect them at all!"

Cook stood up suddenly: "I don't agree, there are reasons for my disagreement!"

"Even he himself said that he couldn't guarantee a certain increase in production in the coming year. How can you be sure that his method is correct?!" Cook pointed at Ma Xiaorui and shouted.

"As for the success rate, how was it calculated? Has he done any experiments? Is there any scientific basis?"

"Once there is no increase in production in the second year, who will bear the consequences of farmers being unable to eat? Who will pay for the farmers' survival?!"

He still pointed at Ma Xiaorui, angrily: "Him?"

"That's right, I'll pay for it." Ma Xiaorui said without changing his expression, looking straight into his eyes.

Anyway, he has money.Not counting the priest's salary, he still has the money to "invest" in Dorji.

Cook choked, and a low laugh came from beside him.

After a second pause, he continued to grab another handle: "Then there's your first question!"

"What planting soybeans will make the land fertile and increase food production! This," Cook sneered, "this is simply a fantasy! Do you have evidence? Why do you say that?!"

"After planting crops, it will obviously make the land more barren!"

"Oh." Ma Xiaorui replied softly, and then he didn't even bother to look at him, and directly searched for the report he had just read when reporting.

"Master Cook," he said while flipping, "before impeaching others, please make sufficient preparations."

He pulled a few glued sheets from a dozen blank sheets and slid across the table.

"This is the data I got after visiting all the soybean farmers in Tikal. It contains the yield of soybeans and corn they planted in the past ten years." He said in a steady tone, and then gave him a innocent and harmless smile, saying : "Please take a look."

Cook's face darkened.

"The data prove that after planting soybeans, the yield of corn will be higher. Compared with other farmers who do not grow soybeans and only grow corn, they can count as a bumper harvest every year."

He glanced at Cook, intending to continue teasing him: "The scientific explanation in my hometown is that there are rhizobia bacteria on the roots of legumes, which have a symbiotic relationship with plants and have the effect of nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen is an element of plants. One of the indispensable fertilizers for growth."

"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you." The boy waved his hand boredly.

It's not just Cook who can't understand?All the priests present were stunned for a moment, confused.

"If you still don't believe the data, you can visit it yourself and see if I have falsified it."

Cook clenched his hands into fists, and the muscles on his face moved.If he wasn't still wearing clothes, everyone would have noticed that his back was covered in cold sweat.

"Okay, even if that's the case," Cook slammed his fist on the table: "Where is the chronological column? 20 years have passed, and a new chronological column will be erected. Do you need to remind me of this matter? This is your responsibility Is it something within the scope?!"

The priests present looked at each other again, and they all saw a strong look of contempt in each other's eyes.

When Cook said this, it was completely nitpicking and looking for trouble... and Ma Xiaorui was just a low-level priest, and Cook was overwhelmed by Cook in his position, so he couldn't refute him loudly like Cook.

Well, anyway, his three-month low-level priesthood has already been completed, should he be promoted to a high-level priest at the suggestion of the high priest?

"Okay!" A senior priest with seniority frowned and patted the table: "Did Xiaorui do something wrong? If everyone only does what they are supposed to do and doesn't expand, then everyone is incompetent." !"

"Okay, I don't think there is anything to discuss today. Report the fallow matter to the high priest and the wise man, and let them decide. If there is nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting!"

"Hmmmm..." A group of priests stood up, shook hands with each other, and walked out.

"Master Cook," Ma Xiaorui walked over and said, "If you don't mind, please return my data to me."

Afterwards, he was satisfied to see Cook blushing with choking.

At this time, inside the palace.

King Aheka, Huo Qin, and the high priest sat around the sand table, and a huge map of the Mayan region was piled up in the sand table.

Tikal and Karamoke still haven't fought, but the situation is still tense, even more tense than three months ago.The normal diplomatic relations between the two city-states are gone, and all commercial and trade exchanges have been cut off, not to mention cultural exports, friendship ambassadors, etc...

And the newly-appointed Lord of Karamoke, Xu Er, did not show favor to Tikal. According to the informant's secret report, Karamoke did not reconcile with Copan and Palenque. A bunch of smaller city-states further afield.

Undoubtedly, the cost of uniting small city-states will be less, but... most of these city-states do not border Karamok at all!

All three frowned.If Xu Er is not a fool, then he is too smart...

Among the city-states united by Karamok, only a few border it, and the rest all border Tikal, Palenque, and Copan, and are in their outer areas.

In fact, to be honest, there are only so many city-states in the Mayan lowlands, and Karamoke is about to unite all the small city-states.

Moreover, the only small city-states bordering Karamok can just serve as bridges on the road, connecting many small city-states.

If Xuer can't control these small city-states, that's okay.Once his means are achieved and controlled, these big city-states will be surrounded.

Although the strength of the small city-states is far inferior to them, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands, Xu Er obviously wants to encircle them, so once the fight starts, their city-states will be attacked by the enemy, which is very difficult.

"For the current plan, is the only way to unite Palenque and Copan?" The high priest frowned and said, "Would this be in their favor?"

"Yes..." King Aheka said, "I also have this concern."

Then, he turned to Huo Qin: "Isn't there a saying in your hometown that you know yourself and the enemy, and you are victorious in every battle? Xiaorui knows Xu Er, what kind of person is Xu Er?"

Huo Qin paused: "The city is extremely deep."

He really couldn't find a more suitable adjective than it.

With Ma Xiaorui's intelligence, he didn't notice his identity at all before he left Tikal. Isn't this the city?Even though Ma Xiaorui's situation at the time did not allow him to think too much, for Xu Er, it can only be described as "pretending to be real".

Daru in his original script setting was not so scheming!

And Xu Er's current behavior is to clearly deny the friendship between him and Ma Xiaorui.

I have known for a long time that that friendship is not as thin as a window...

King Aheka was silent for a while, and said: "You are really a young talent, you should not be underestimated..."

"Oh, well, it doesn't matter, don't you say that you are born in sorrow and die in peace..."

Huo Qin and the high priest all looked at the Santo with raised eyebrows.

Where did he learn so many old Chinese sayings?
