Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Gu Ding was so happy that he rolled around on the bed, he was finally recognized by Tang Tang, he was no longer just his student, and no longer just his companion, but his lover and companion.

Try?

It's a lifetime thing to try with him.

Tang Tang may have lived a whole life longer than him, so he always thinks in a very long-term and "comprehensive" way when thinking about things.

Before the two started, they first thought about whether they would have differences in the future, whether they would be tempted to break up, whether they would even betray for profit, and so on.

It's not easy for a person to fall in love with another person so much that he wants to spend his whole life with him.

The person you like also has a good impression of you at the same time, and does not reject living with you, that is simply great luck.

Do you still hesitate about the future at this time?

What is there to hesitate about?The future is lived by two people.Since you believe in the present you and me, why should you doubt the future you and me?

If something really happened in the future that had to be broken up, and it is irreparable despite the efforts of both parties, it is also a helpless thing.

Just like no one dies in life since ancient times, people are bound to die, but partners may not necessarily break up.

Since there is no doubt that everyone must die, I have never heard of many people committing suicide because of their inevitable death.So why bother to refuse a sincere relationship now because of the possibility of breaking up in the future?

Tang Bo was also persuaded by Gu Ding in this way. Some people may still worry about being deceived, but Gu Ding will never deceive him because it is unnecessary.

Benefit?that power?

Gu Ding's power in Bailuling is by no means less than his. Even all the executives of Bailuling know that he is training Gu Ding to take over his position, and Gu Ding himself knows it.

Gu Ding also knows that he doesn't want to be bound by the territory, he wants to live a free life, but he has higher requirements for the quality of life, and the current world can't meet his basic living requirements, so he will do his best to Change the White Hart Collar.

After thinking about it, Tang Bo found that the only thing that could stop him from being with Gu Ding was his sexual orientation.

Due to various reasons in his previous life, he never had a girlfriend, and naturally he did not have a boyfriend. When he saw some women who matched his preferences and some literary descriptions and film and television works, he would also have a natural healthy impulse, so he always thought he was sexual. female.

But when Gu Ding kissed him, he didn't seem to be disgusted.

So Tang Bo decided to give it a try, but if it didn't work, he would still be a brother and a companion.

Gu Ding also said that even if they tried and couldn't be a couple, they can still be the same as before.

Tang Bo admitted that he was mean at this point, he took advantage of Gu Ding's purest feelings for him - Gu Ding couldn't bear to leave him, no matter what kind of feelings he had for him, he didn't want to part with him .

Maybe it's this guilt, maybe it's because the mind and body have been lonely for too long...

Tang Bo really didn't want to progress so fast, but Gu Ding, the little wolf dog, was too enthusiastic. He wanted to kiss before going to bed. If he wanted to, he would just have a couple of mouthfuls, just kiss, and then...

Then he couldn't control it anymore, the young impulsive and passionate Gu Ding became the leader and took over the pilotship.

Throughout the night, he remembered that he kept rolling in the small wooden boat with raging waves, being hit and submerged by the constant waves.From the beginning to the end, Gu Ding held him tightly and did not let him go.

The next morning, Gu Ding was biting the corner of his quilt not long after he opened his eyes.

Tang Bo actually got up before him and had already gone to work!

When Tang Bo left, he asked the guards not to disturb him, and let him sleep until he woke up naturally.

Gu Ding hugged the quilt and rolled, buried his face in the quilt and smelled Tang Tang deeply.

The bed was full of the smell of him and Tang Tang.

Gu Ding couldn't help laughing again, rolling around with the quilt in his arms, tangling himself into a ball.

stand up!work!Study hard and make progress every day, and by the way, force the Demon Soul to let it reveal more useful things.Tang Tang is researching the magic train, and it seems that the progress is not good, maybe he can trick that boring demon soul to help.

Gu Ding threw off the quilt and jumped up energetically. He wanted to make Tang Tang retire as soon as possible, so that he could do whatever he wanted.

He still has to become stronger and stronger, so strong that in the future, even if they don't have a territory to back them up, no one will dare to provoke them.

Tang Bo happened to think so too, and he decided to concentrate on learning the knowledge of the magic array diagram.

Gu Ding learned too much knowledge about the demon race from the demon soul, involving many aspects. If he wants to learn and master all this knowledge, it will not be possible to do it in a few decades.

Tang Bo discussed with Gu Ding, and he asked Gu Ding to extract the knowledge of the demon race from the demon soul as much as possible, but he didn't need to learn everything, he only had to write down most of them, and then choose the ones that suit him for intensive training.

Gu Ding chose to specialize in the use of magic plants and the power of space. After thinking for a long time, Tang Bo decided to study the magic array map in depth.

Although it is difficult to get started with the magic array map, it is not easy to learn it, but it is undeniable that the magic array map is the foundation of all the knowledge of the demon race.

Just as mathematics and words are the basis of all knowledge on the earth, in the Demon Race, the magic array patterns composed of 64 basic symbols can be combined to form countless magic array patterns.

In terms of territorial development, White Deer Collar has just started.

In terms of living comfort, White Hart Collar has already met the basic requirements for a person's life.

At least from Tang Bo's point of view, except that there are no electrical appliances, no wires, no telephones, no computers and Internet, the current Bailuling is not much different from the modern earth, and the standard of living can barely reach the level of villages and towns.

The house he lived in was made beautiful by Gu Ding, and its appearance was no different from other single-family houses, except that it was a little bigger.

But inside, the cold and hot water pipes he once said, wooden floors, marble floors, marble kitchen countertops, marble window sills and steps, fully tiled bathrooms, tiled bathtubs, all-ceramic washbasins and toilets, ceramic pipe sewers , as well as wallpaper and wood-wrapped walls, all-wood ceilings, etc., these hard decorations are really no different from modern ones at first glance.

For this reason, he no longer has too many demands on his life. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't develop from now on. The development is just to prevent other forces from attacking and annexing her because they are greedy for the beauty of Bailuling.

But if you want to strive for supremacy, the effort you put in will be terrible, and Bailuling will continue to fight endlessly in the future.

Tang Bo has seen too much history of this kind of hegemony, and he knows what price to pay to succeed.

So he decided to use a different method to develop Bailuling and develop himself, so that even if Bailuling occupies a small area, it can become a tough and terrifying existence that people dare not provoke.

Oh, there is one more thing to say. Marble is not called marble here, but a reddish hard stone quarried from Hongshan. Now this kind of worthless stone is used in Guding to lay houses and build buildings. After the castle, it immediately became a well-known Chimei building material.

This stone is named rhodochrosite.

Tang Bo is now negotiating the export deal of rhodochrosite with the caravan of the Red Millet Principality of Jinfeng Country.

The White Deer Leader caravan has arrived at Jinfeng Country, the closest neighboring country to Tonglei Country.

The entire Golden Wind Country likes gold, and the nobles and nobles of Red Millet Principality not only like gold, they also like all kinds of red.

Tang Bo once asked the Bailuling caravan to bring some samples of rhodochrosite, but he did not expect this kind of stone to be very popular after it arrived in Jinfeng Country, especially the rhodochrosite with golden silk patterns.

The grand duke of the Red Millet Principality likes luxury the most. He likes the paper, glass products, pottery and porcelain of the White Deer Caravan, but he prefers the rhodochrosite of various colors as samples.

Unable to wait, the Red Millet Principality also dispatched its own fleet to follow the White Deer Caravan to the White Deer Collar, intending to make a large purchase.

When the caravan from the Red Millet Principality followed the White Deer Caravan, the sights of the Tonglei Kingdom they saw along the way made them not expect much from the White Deer Leader, especially after entering the territory of the Luma Principality.

When the fleet entered the range of the White Deer Territory, they had to borrow the route from the Principality of Qingdou, then cross the Sita County via the Baowang River, and then arrive at the White Deer Territory.

Sita County is now in chaos, a large number of fields and houses have been abandoned, bandits and road tyrants are rampant, and the princess of Sita County has not acted, and the traces left by the flood are still there.

If it weren't for the extraordinary military equipment of the White Deer fleet, and the team led by the old lord Wang Heling of the Atomic Bomb in Sita County was escorting all the way along the shore, I am afraid that the two fleets would encounter multiple robberies along the way.

Not to mention the bandit road tyrants composed of refugees and victims, even Princess Sita wants to pretend to be a bandit and intercept Bailuling's caravan ships.

When the caravan from the Red Millet Principality entered the rhinoceros area, the people in the caravan couldn't sit still in the cabin.

After entering the White Deer City, the attitude of the members of the Red Millet Principality's caravan towards the members of the White Deer Leader's caravan became a hundred times more enthusiastic in an instant.

This territory is so good, it is even better than their king's capital.

If it wasn't for the White Deer Territory being too far away from their Red Millet Principality, they would really like to suggest that Red Millet Grand Duke take this territory down. Of course, it would be too wasteful to fight directly. The best way is to marry.

The person in charge of the red millet caravan is the grand duke's younger brother Akabane. He plans to suggest to the grand duke to marry his daughter after returning home. But the grand duke's daughter refuses to marry, so he lets his daughter marry.

Especially after this first-class earl heard that Tang Bo, the lord of White Deer, had never married a wife and had no lover, he wanted to marry his daughter even more, sincerely.

If his daughter can marry Tang Bo, apart from other things, there is absolutely nothing to say about material conditions.

When Earl Akabane saw Tang Bo himself, he was even more determined to marry.I believe that as long as his daughter sees Tang Bo's portrait, she will definitely hate to marry, and she can't wait to get married as soon as possible.Maybe he still has to appease his daughters so they don't fight over who will marry Tang Bo.

"I heard that the Sita County when we came here belonged to Lord Tang?" Earl Akabane didn't put on airs, and treated Tang Bo like a father-in-law who looks at his son-in-law and likes it more and more.

Reciprocating courtesy, Tang Bo also responded with a relaxed smile: "Yes, thank you His Majesty the King for the gift."

"However, I also heard that the princess over there seems to have no intention of giving up Sita County, and is still holding the other lords tightly to prevent them from joining you." Earl Akabane pointedly said.

Tang Bo was a little unclear about the meaning of the earl. Could it be that this country also wanted to intervene in the war of the Luma Principality?But the Tonglei Nation is still there, and the Golden Wind Nation's force is not particularly strong, so what good would it be for them to meddle in the political affairs of neighboring countries.

At this time, no matter how clever Tang Bo was, he never thought that Earl Akabane wanted to help his future son-in-law.

Earl Akabane simply clarified: "Anshen, the lord of the Four Towers County, relies on nothing more than the ambiguous attitude of Duke Luma. In addition, Anshen has an army in his hands, and the lords of the Four Towers County also have their own armed forces. Power. This is probably the biggest difficulty for Lord Tang in winning Sita County."

Tang Bo didn't show his face, just smiled and said: "That's true, actually, I don't mind letting Princess Sita stay. After all, the Grand Duke didn't say that he would dismiss him, but he seems unwilling to give up the current position. Power makes it difficult for me, the real lord."

Earl Akabane also laughed and said, "If Grand Duke Luma can't take care of him, then Anshen will cut off the source. If Lord Tang has enough troops, don't worry about those Lords and Anshen making trouble for you."

"I would like to hear the details." Tang Bo poured a cup of bamboo leaf tea for Earl Akabane himself.

Earl Akabane smiled more and more satisfied. This future son-in-law is capable and able to make money, and he is also polite and decent. He has more aristocratic connotation and posture than the big nobles, and is more pleasing to the eye. It is simply... great!

"The Duke of Luma is in an open battle with the Duke of Lanji. At present, they are evenly matched. The other principalities, including your majesty the king, are watching with cold eyes, but once it is time to decide the winner, someone will definitely intervene. Whether it is your majesty the king or None of the other duchies want the war between the two duchies to end so soon, and the longer the war between the two duchies lasts, the more benefits it will bring to other forces."

Earl Akabane paused, and said with the meaning of advice: "On the contrary, if the war between the two principalities of Luma and Lanji can be subsided early, then the principality of the victorious country will inevitably quickly absorb the resources of the defeated country, allowing its own The strength has greatly increased. In addition, because the winning party does not delay for a long time, domestic manpower, material resources and other resources will not be wasted too much."

Tang Bo naturally understood this truth, so he stayed put and only consolidated the existing territory.But Earl Akabane also had good intentions. Naturally, he would not refuse to give face to the other party, so he nodded and said: "Your Excellency is right, if the war is delayed for too long, the national strength of both sides will be greatly lost. If the resources are absorbed, they will be taken advantage of by other covetous neighbors, and the country may even be destroyed.”

Earl Akabane: "That's the reason! So if the two principalities can't end the war by the end of this year, they will probably stop the war and wait a few years or even ten years later."

Tang Bo waited.

The Earl of Akabane didn't let it go, and quickly said: "The war between Luma and Lanji is dangerous, but it is also a great opportunity and opportunity for people like Lord Tang. I, the Red Millet Principality, are willing to lead the White Deer forever." Make friends and become friends. If Lord Tang needs it, we can provide you with food, grass, horses, manpower and material resources to allow you to develop your territory."

Seeing that Tang Bo didn't speak, Earl Akabane simply made it clearer: "At the same time, our Red Millet Principality can also act as a third party to help the White Deer Leader and the Grand Duke Lanji sit down to negotiate. After laying down the green hemp, half of the families on both sides."

Earl Akabane also said: "Lord Tang, you don't have to worry about your majesty the king being angry because of this, I believe your majesty the king prefers young nobles like Lord Tang who are young, promising and energetic And as far as I know, your Majesty the King admires Lord Tang very much. You will only take half of the Luma fiefdom, and it can be even less. Then, compared to you, Grand Duke Lanji will be your king's confidant. .”

Tang Bo saw Earl Akabane talking to such an extent, of course it was impossible for him not to express, so he asked, "What do you and Duke Akabane want?"

Earl Akabane likes such a sensible person, so he smiled immediately: "Lord Tang is young and handsome, younger and more promising, and now he has no wife, and the daughter of the Duke is also in the prime of life, not me as a father boasting , my daughters are not only beautiful, but also their knowledge and female arts are absolutely outstanding among the noble ladies. If Lord Tang is willing, we can form a good relationship between the two countries. As for the dowry, besides the red stone, do you think it can be used? What about papermaking or glassmaking?"

"No way." With a bang, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and a tall young man with a cold face strode up to Tang Bo.

The young man glanced at Earl Akabane coldly, his eyes full of hostility.

But when the young man turned his head and saw Tang Bo, he immediately smiled like a sunflower, as bright as his smile could be.

Tang Bo: "...cough, here you are, sit down."

The young man did not overstep, and sat down under Tang Bo.

Tang Bo introduced Earl Akabane to the young man, and then introduced the young man to Earl Akabane: "This is the head of my White Deer Army, Gu..."

"Ancient Tang." Gu Ding said first.

Tang Bo thought that Gu Ding didn't want people to associate the Lord of the Three Trees next door with him for the time being, so he acquiesced in the name.

Earl Akabane had a very good demeanor, he didn't get angry because of Gu Ding's impoliteness, instead he greeted Gu Ding with a smile on his face.

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Gu Ding also eased his face, and interjected: "What were you talking about just now? How did you get the dowry? Whose dowry? Who wants to marry?"

Earl Akabane narrowed his eyes: Isn't Gu Tang talking too casually?This attitude is not like Tang Bo's subordinate, but rather like Tang Bo's equal or very close relationship.

Tang Bo replied indifferently: "Out of good intentions, Earl Akabane wanted to make a good relationship between the two countries. He married his daughter to my White Deer collar, and provided us with manpower and material resources, allowing us to take back Sita County. He is willing to help us Discuss with Grand Duke Lanji, let me Bailuling and the Principality of Lanji cooperate internally and externally to win the Principality of Luma. The price is papermaking or glass making."

Gu Ding: Think beautifully!Want to make paper and glass, and want to marry your daughter to Tang Tang?Such a beautiful thing, do you think you are me?But I will not marry my daughter to Tang Tang, I will marry myself.And I don't want any betrothal gifts, instead I will bring a lot of dowry. I can give Tang Tang both the three tree collar and the mercenary union.I don't believe that anyone's dowry can be richer than mine!If there is, I will grab it.

Thinking about it, Gu Ding lost his mind, and for some reason, a very strange smile appeared on his face.

Tang Bo: ...What is this little bastard thinking? This expression is too YD!

"Cough!" Tang Bo reminded with a light cough.

Gu Ding rubbed his face, straightened his expression, and said to Earl Akabane: "You are late, the Lord Sanshu next door has already agreed with our Lord to use the Sanshu collar as a dowry, and the other party doesn't want anything, just ask Our lord can treat him wholeheartedly."

"Is that so?" Earl Akabane looked at Tang Bo.He didn't understand what Gu Ding said, and thought that the Lord of the Three Trees next door had no heirs, only a daughter or younger sister, so he planned to marry him over, and by the way, the entire Three Trees belonged to the White Deer Leader.This kind of thing often happens among nobles, and it is not uncommon.

Tang Bo was silent for a second, then nodded: "Yes, I have already agreed."

Earl Akabane didn't bother either. He wanted to marry his daughter just for a while. Tang Bo was already married, so he wouldn't force Tang Bo to marry his daughter. That's not because he wanted to fix things up, but because he wanted to get revenge.

"It's a pity. However, I, the Red Millet Principality, are still very willing to marry Lord Tang. The proposal just now, except for marriage, is still valid. Lord Tang can think about it. I don't know if I can let people know when I first arrived in the treasure land. Show me around?" Earl Akabane stopped the topic just right, got up and said.

"Of course." Tang Bo immediately asked people to come over to lead Earl Akabane and his party to tour White Deer City.

Only Tang Bo and Gu Ding were left in the conference hall.

Gu Ding immediately squeezed to Tang Bo and sat down, "That uncle is wise."

Tang Bo patted his forehead, "Just talk nonsense. When people know that Sanshuling is just a little lord who can't grow up, I'll see how you lie."

Gu Ding said without blinking: "Why can't it be round? Wouldn't it be enough to let the little lord next door marry him? Anyway, he really wants to marry you, especially wants to marry you, and only wants to marry you."

The corner of Tang Bo's mouth bent, and he held Gu Ding's troublesome paw: "Don't talk about marriage, what do you think of Earl Akabane's proposal?"

Gu Ding thought about it seriously for a while: "I think... is an opportunity. You told me before that there is a strategy called long distance and close attack. The Red Millet Principality of Jinfeng Country is far away, and Luma and Lanji, including Tonglei Kingdom, are all close. We Foreign aid is needed. And I believe that the Red Millet Principality will not be so stupid as to expose its meddling in other countries' wars, so that we will have more room to maneuver."

"In addition to the Red Millet Principality, we also need to send people to the capital to contact the King and the Marquis of Thunder, and let them know the embarrassment of our White Deer Leader." Tang Bo said.

Gu Ding groaned: "The Marquis of Thunder has taken so many benefits from us. If he still wants to continue to enjoy this benefit, he should know that it is better for us to let the white deer leader take down the green hemp than to let the green hemp win the war and then turn around and deal with the white deer. collar, much better."

Tang Bo sent someone to send letter paper and a pen, and wrote a letter on the spot, a letter to the Grand Duke of Red Millet and the Marquis of Thunder.

Gu Ding was reading his writing with his head propped up, and at the same time gave him some advice: "We don't need to marry the Red Millet Principality, but we can let them come to study, just study mathematics and engineering, as well as management, and journalism. Professional broadcasting. These are hard knowledge, as long as those who believe in their power are not blocked, they will understand that this kind of learning opportunity is much better than marriage."

Gu Ding's proposal at this time was just to dispel the intention of other powerful people to marry, but he didn't know that such a proposal made him have many more brothers and sisters.Because all the dignitaries asked Tang Bo to be the teacher, at least to bear the name. Their reason was that only the nobles could become the teachers of the nobles.

Not much to say.

Gu Ding also mentioned that a sub-site of the mercenary guild could be opened in the Red Millet Principality.

"You want to open the mercenary guild to the Golden Wind Country?" In terms of understanding Gu Ding, no one can compare with Tang Bo.

"Well. Compared to developing the White Hart Collar, the mercenary union is easier to bloom everywhere, and can quickly form a large-scale force. This kind of loose organization is not likely to arouse the vigilance of those in power when it is first established. We can borrow The product of White Hart Collar allows mercenary groups to escort caravans to other countries. Wherever they go, we will build mercenary unions. It will be difficult at the beginning, so we need allies. But when the mercenary guild takes shape, when There is no need for us to open up relationships, other countries will also hope that the mercenary guild can build a station in the past."

Gu Ding said again: "As long as the mercenary union can develop and the White Deer collar has money, we don't need to borrow troops from other countries, we can just hire mercenaries to make a small principality mess up. In fact, as long as you If you want, I can end the Luma Principality."

Tang Bo rubbed Gu Ding's head.Well, the brain wasn't destroyed by scrap. "It's not enough now, it's too eye-catching. Let the Duke of Luma continue to consume each other with the Duke of Lanji. I think the same as everyone else, and I don't want them to end the war soon."

Gu Ding sneered: "I don't want to either. Just wait, the old man's food and grass are already far short, and the autumn tax period will be two months later. I heard that Luma City has already dispatched tax officials and tax collection troops in advance. Every territory is forcibly collecting grain. This year's autumn tax is at least three times higher than last year! In addition, the old man has begun to forcibly recruit troops in various places, requiring the lords of various places to send him at least [-] to [-] soldiers according to the size of their territories. "

Gu Ding looked at Tang Bo: "If the old man wants to cause trouble for us, conscription and taxation, we must be the boss. And you are now the lord of the entire Sita County in name, the old man will definitely levy taxes according to This grade. On the other hand, Anshen and other Sita County lords, the old man will not have any demands. And if you want to complete the collection amount requested by the old man, you can only force the citizens of Sita County. Then you The lord has not won all the territory, and he will be hated by the people first. Even now, I am afraid that some lords are expropriating wildly in your name."

Tang Bo smiled: "The fact that he conscripted him doesn't mean that I have to accept this tax and conscription quota. On the contrary, the poor little lord didn't want his subjects to starve to death because of the grand duke's persecution, and he didn't even want the subjects to starve to death." Going to die in vain, the lord decided to ask the people what to do, whether to disobey or accept oppression. If everyone decides to disobey, that’s fine, and we have a reason to cooperate with the Red Millet Principality.”

Gu Ding laughed and hugged Tang Bo tightly. He liked Tang Tang's flexibility and badness.

Tang Bo tapped him on the head: "It's time for the propaganda team to go out. Also, send your mercenary group to support the old town. Before the autumn harvest, I hope that all the lords, including An Shen, will leave."

Gu Ding grabbed Tang Bo's finger and bit it, "Accept the order. Guaranteed to complete the task!"
