Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 274 [273] Daming is coming! !

Children will compete for the ownership of a snack;

Adults fight for wealth.

Among family members, perhaps more humility can be tolerated.

It is like a son continuing his father's life by donating his organs.

As long as this grace is only "ten years of life", it can create a carol of fatherly kindness and filial piety, which will be sung for hundreds of years.

But the problem is...

Live forever, live forever.

The world can't ask for it.

There was chaos.

Lu Barn on the throne panted heavily, and pointed at Qiao Lan with his finger: "You are my favorite son, but my favorite son doesn't want me to have the grace of eternal life?"

"Are you jealous of your father?"

Qiao Lan blushed.

He knew it was irrefutable.

The courtiers beside him hurriedly chimed in: "My lord! As 'Gaza' said, how can the grace of longevity be easily obtained? What have we offered for the true God?"

"Although we don't know the doctrine of balance, this move has the risk of offending the true god."

"My lord, please think twice!"

After the man finished speaking, he scanned the room again and called out: "If you don't persuade me, you will be punished!!"

The hall was silent.

When everyone calmed down and thought about it, they knew that the grace of eternal life could not be obtained.

Instead of triggering an internal struggle between the king and the prince because of this illusory incident, the kingdom is in danger! !

It's better to discuss the matter as it stands.

The ruler of the country is old, so he should follow his original will and let Qiaolan succeed him.

Thinking of this.

Those who originally supported the country's lord also immediately turned their backs.

Because they knew that this was their last chance to show their loyalty, and only after the prince came to power could they preserve their family authority.

"My lord, please think twice!"

"Do not offend the true God!"

"..."

He drank it loudly.

Lu Barn fell to the throne with a "plop".

And Qiao Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the matter was over, even though there was a gap between father and son, these princes and ministers became his supporters instead.

"Father, I have no jealousy;"

"You are the lord of the kingdom, and the matter of praying for grace should also be decided by you..."

"As long as you don't offend the true god, I will obey your will."

Qiao Lan accepted it as soon as it was good, saying that he would no longer participate in the "Grace" decision.

What he coveted was the succession to the throne.

Even if his father begged for something else out of selfish desires, he didn't care.

As long as you can still make contributions in the future, you will always have the opportunity to be blessed by the true God.

Perhaps it was because he handed out the steps.

Only then did Lubahn's expression ease. He is the master who made Malindi prosperous, and he is naturally not stupid.

After a while, Lu Baen looked at Gaza, who was kneeling, and snorted coldly: "You must understand your identity, you are a subject of our country, don't forget your origin!"

"I only forgive you this time!"

Gaza was terrified and explained: "If I am not loyal to the lord, how can I dare to persuade? My relatives have just been rewarded by the lord and the prince, and they live a happy and prosperous life. That's why I don't want to The king has made a mistake."

Seeing his humility, Luba En nodded slightly.

After all, Gaza's performance these days is obvious to all.

Even though he was the only one in the country who could communicate with the envoys, he didn't rely on the power of the envoys, show his teeth and claws, and showed humility in dealing with things.

You must know that his granddaughter has now followed the true God, such a glory can be recorded in the annals of history.

Lubaan also thought about whether to find another person who can understand the language of God to disperse the grace that Gaza received from the envoy.

But he had no choice but to search the whole city and couldn't find the second person, so he had to give up.

Stay calm in the hall.

Lu Baen said again: "Gaza, you are the only one in the kingdom with a balanced will. What kind of grace do you think I should pray for?"

Everyone immediately looked sideways.

They think only of gold and iron;
Gaza serves the true God, maybe knowing that there is some kind of treasure in the kingdom of God, you can ask for it!
Everyone is looking forward to this.

Gaza is under pressure and tense.

When he was young, he was a servant, traveled mountains and seas, and saw many great things in the world; but since then, he has been poor for half his life, how can he think of any peerless treasures.

What's more, he didn't want to make a decision in this matter.

After all, the oracle once said that our Lord never stops watching the world.

Would he not be impious to the faith of our Lord if he seeks grace for Malindi?

If it wasn't for the king's "crazy" request for longevity, he would not have spoken out just now because he was afraid of frightening God's wrath.

Now that the lord has an order, he can't disobey it, so he can only ponder hard...

When time passed for a long time.

Everyone seemed impatient.

Then I thought about it again, so many of them failed to make a good choice, how could Gaza get anything?
He is just a general translator.

Someone is about to speak...

But Gaza's voice sounded: "I remember my father once said when I was young that money and vulgar things are inferior and will eventually disappear; only the principles of doing things, vast knowledge and mastery of wisdom are accompanied by life."

"It's like I have been poor for half my life, but I never let go of the divine language I learned when I was young."

"Until now, it has turned around. This is the best proof."

The originally restless people fell into deep thought because of this sentence.

Some people can't stop smacking their tongues to taste.

Someone is right to praise...

Qiao Lan nodded faintly, taking this person into his heart and leaving a place for him.

It is important to wait for the true god and the envoy to leave.

Not to mention that the granddaughter of Gaza was blessed by God, this thread cannot be broken.

And on the throne.

Lubain smiled wryly...

From the initial pursuit of longevity, it suddenly became the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge. This gap is too great.

What Gaza said is not bad, and everyone thinks it makes sense.

But when it comes to reality, it is far inferior to common things like gold and weapons, which can bring greater help to the kingdom.

However, he also secretly praised Gaza in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then it's up to you, what should I ask for?"

For a while, everyone looked forward to it again.

However, it was amazing to hear Gaza's words——

"Do not seek!!"

boom.

There was another uproar in the hall.

Even Qiao Lan, who originally decided not to get involved in this matter, couldn't help exclaiming, "No?!"

"Yes!" Gaza said firmly, "Don't ask for anything!"

Don't wait for others to ask questions.

He said in a loud voice: "Instead of asking for gold, treasures, and weapons, they will eventually disperse!"

"It's better to let the true God see our pious heart!"

"The envoy once said that the Lord God is benevolent, generous, fair and just, and is the embodiment of world order."

"If the grace that should have been given to us is left blank, then this grace will always exist!"

"As long as the kingdom continues to be passed on, the Lord God will always watch Malindi, so that the descendants of the royal family will also be covered by this grace."

"Let me ask, is there any gift of grace that can compare to the eternal shroud of glory?"

The rebuttals that countless people spoke to their lips suddenly swallowed back.

All the faces were dumbfounded.

Even the dumbest person in the room can figure out why.

To illustrate with the simplest example——

Just like a pair of creditor and debtor.

If the borrower delays in repaying the loan, interest will be added.

And if the creditor is not in a hurry to recover the principal, he can continue to enjoy the interest...

And this pile of interest will one day exceed the principal.

Such an interpretation may be vulgar, even blasphemous.

But Gaza has given them the best worded excuse—

We believe in and follow our Lord and true God, not for the blessing of grace, but only for our piety.

Just imagine.

If Malindi encounters an accident in the future, and the true God is watching, will he ignore it?
This alone can ensure that Malindi's power is stable and long-lasting.

"Okay, okay!"

"You are worthy of being the one the true God wants to find, Gaza, you have great wisdom!"

"Let me ask you, are you willing to be Qiao Lan's vassal and assist him in strengthening the kingdom after he inherits the throne?"

Rubahn is rational.

Seeking longevity is for the kingdom to prosper, and by the way, to allow myself to enjoy eternal worship...

But since you can't ask for it, then go back and ask for the next best thing.

The kingdom has been passed on from generation to generation, and he can be remembered by the people as the hero who created this prosperous world.

Therefore, there is no need to care about the small estrangement with his son Qiao Lan just now.

After all, there is no second person in this country who has Qiao Lan's ability and is more suitable to inherit the throne than him.

Now there is another Gaza assistant with "great wisdom", the prosperity is coming! !
Gaza was flattered: "It is the duty of the people to assist the king in his affairs."

But Lu Baen stepped down from the throne, supported him, gave him the highest courtesy, and said to everyone: "You must remember that from today onwards, Gaza is the wise man in the country, relying on the throne's help!"

"Anyone who dares to neglect him will be judged with the most severe punishment!"

The courtiers were both envious and admirable for Gaza, calling in unison——

"I have seen the national teacher!"

Lu Baen recruited his son again: "Okay, what happened just now will be exposed..."

"Prepare the banquet, I want to have a drink with the national teacher!"

Qiao Lan was determined.

I thought it was a rivalry between father and son, but now it has ended successfully, all thanks to Gaza.

The banquet began to be set up immediately.

I plan to invite the envoy to come...

But before the waiter came, the palace guards rushed into the hall, and before they knelt down, the voice came——

"Master, Prince..."

"Go to the observation deck!"

"Giant ship, huge ship! A fleet of hundreds of ships is coming, and there are more than a few dozen of them alone!!"

"The prophecy came true, the prophecy came true..."

"Qin, it's Qin, Qin has arrived!!"

Following his call, the hall was stunned for a moment.

Followed by.

Everyone flocked to the balcony and window of the side hall.

On the distant ocean.

Hundreds of boats form an array, like giant beasts crouching on the sea, displaying majestic majesty.

Overlooking from the high platform of the palace here, the boats in Malindi port and offshore are as big as peas.

You can see the ocean from afar...

But you can see the outline of the huge ship.

It only made everyone feel an invisible sense of oppression...

How many sergeants can such a fleet carry?

If they land, will Malindi be able to defend against their attack?

Everything in front of them has exceeded the imagination of these East African natives for their ship technology.

Lu Barn's legs were weak and he almost fell down.

"The lord!"

"Father!!"

Everyone hurriedly supported him.

Lu Baen trembled and said: "Qin Zhi is strong and invincible!!"

Everyone was stunned, and naturally temporarily put the existence of the Kingdom of Balance into the back of their minds.

This is the situation.

Probably just like the night when Tiaoyu and others set foot in Africa, they realized how humble and insignificant they were when they saw the vastness of the world, like a frog in a well.

Just imagine, how powerful should a country that can build such a fleet be?
In the world, Gaza also burst into tears.

He seemed to dream back in an instant when he was young, when the "Yuan Lord" conquered the land, and wherever he went, the local people were shocked and speechless?
Even if the Great Yuan is annihilated.

But the land in the far east always seems to be able to produce miracles.

The power of the Ming Dynasty is not weaker than that of the Yuan Lord! !

"Master, Your Highness!"

"Should report to the envoy immediately, and then send someone out of the port to meet him!"

With the call of Gaza.

All the people were called back to their lost souls, like waking up from a dream.

"Yes, yes, immediately, immediately report to the envoy!"

"Everyone straighten out their ceremonial attire, and don't neglect the missions of great powers..."

Lu Baen hurriedly issued orders, his eyes burning even more...

He sighed in his heart.

What kind of shit luck did Malindi have?

First, the only true god in the world descended, and now there is a mission from a giant eastern country.

Being shrouded in the glory of the true God...

If the Eastern missions are entertained and trade is facilitated, why is Malindi not prosperous?

In the hall, everyone dispersed.

Some princes and ministers hurried out of the palace to change clothes and ordered the army to stand by; this is of course not a battle, but to show the background of the Malindi people.

Even if you are far inferior to Qin, you should put on a posture, this is etiquette.

And when the guards went to report to the envoy.

Lu Baen, Qiao Lan and other royal families also arranged their demeanor and rushed to the courtyard where the envoy stayed.

On the way, there were many royal orders issued——

"Order people to count the grain storage, entertain the distinguished guests of the mission with a feast, and also feed the soldiers of the huge ship!"

"Arrange one more... no, multiple courtyards, where distinguished guests can stay!"

Someone was ordered to do it.

Gaza followed, and immediately reminded: "My lord, Your Highness, although the Ming Dynasty is strong, if it promotes trade, it will also benefit the kingdom, but don't overstep the rules!"

"We should still take the envoy as the first, let alone the true god of our lord!"

"What is Daming in front of the true God and the kingdom of God?"

"And I've heard the envoys and others say these days..."

"In the very distant past, the true God, our lord, was very likely to descend in the east."

"It is precisely because of this that the words of God and the people of Qin can communicate with each other!"

"In this way, it is conceivable why the Eastern Kingdom is so strong! They have obtained the skin of the laws bestowed by our Lord, and they have been strong for thousands of years. There will always be changes, but they can also set things right!"

"If he is shrouded in the glory of the true God, Malindi can become the second Great Ming!"

After some words fell.

The footsteps of Lubain and Qiaolan stopped immediately, and they were excited and ecstatic again.

The old lord turned around and hugged Gaza fiercely: "Gaza, from today onwards, you will be my dearest brother!"

"Qiao Lan, from now on, you must call the national teacher Uncle Wang!!"

The surrounding royal family was shocked.

To be the national teacher first, and then the uncle of the king?
How many jumps are needed between this day!

But now they all admire Gaza from the bottom of their hearts. Having such a wise man stay in the country makes people feel at ease!

Qiao Lan immediately said: "Qiao Lan has seen Uncle Wang!"

"Don't dare, dare not..." Gaza waved his hands in fear.

But Lu Baen laughed loudly, and dragged him to continue to start: "Okay, that's the decision! Now there is no need to delay any longer, go find the envoy!"

When everyone arrived at the courtyard.

Tiaoyu and others have already heard the news, but because Gaza's three sons are really "incompetent", their translated words are not very accurate.

Now seeing the lord, the prince and Gaza Dao coming, he immediately asked: "The guards are here to pass the message, could it be the arrival of Daming's fleet?"

Gaza said: "Report to the envoy, hundreds of huge boats are coming!!"

"My lord true god's prophecy has come true..."

"Praise my lord, praise the balance!!"
