Chapter 169: Give me a big bowl (1)

“The bowl is too big. This wine is very strong, my Lord.” Luo Yiwu was startled, and he quickly said. “If I can’t even drink wine, why should I be a guard? why should I go to the battlefield? come, serve me a big bowl.” Zhao zhilong’s broken throat was extremely thick. He sounded like he was roaring, and those who didn’t know his temper would really give him a scare. “Change the bowl!” Tang Wen said. Luo Yiwu helplessly brought another big bowl over, the kind that was half the size of a rice bowl. If he poured a Jin of wine into it, there would still be one side of the bowl left, and if he filled it up, it would be about a Jin and a half. “Fill it up!” Zhao zhilong shouted. “That’s too much, take it slowly. ” Tang Wen advised. “Lord Zhao is a magnanimous person. Don’t worry. He can drink seven or eight bowls of this kind of nu ‘er Hong.” Chu Zhao laughed. “That’s good. ” Luo Yiwu nodded, and he filled his cup to the brim. “Come, let’s drink a bowl first.” Zhao zhilong picked up the bowl and said. “I can ‘t, I can only use a cup.” Tang Wen smiled and raised his glass. “I’ll pay with a bowl. ” Chu Zhao smiled and picked up his bowl. “Lord Jue, you’re too unmanly. How can you drink with such a small cup? drink, drink, drink. You’re not a man if you don’t drink!” Zhao zhilong shouted, opened his mouth and poured the water into his mouth. Chu Zhao gulped down half a bowl in one go. When he continued to drink, he suddenly spat it all out with a “Puchi” sound and his face turned red. He quickly sat down and, without caring about his manners, picked up the soup on the table and drank it. Zhao zhilong was drinking so much that he had to gulp down the entire bowl. Immediately, he shook and almost fell down. The private advisor beside him quickly reached out to support him. “What ... What kind of wine is this? why do I feel a little dizzy?” Zhao zhilong asked, his words unclear. “Vodka! I’m from the West. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Is the wine strong enough?” Luo Yiwu asked with a smile. “It’s ... It’s strong enough. It’s too F * cking satisfying. Another bowl.” Zhao zhilong slammed the table, shook his head and shouted. “Sir, you can stop drinking. This wine is too strong.” Chu Zhao hurriedly said. “Who said so? it’s cool and refreshing. It’s more exciting. Pour me some wine. If you don’t pour me some wine, I’ll kill you!” Zhao zhilong slammed the table. “Pour it, pour it.” Tang Wen said. He knew that this guy was a little drunk, and it was normal to lose his composure after drinking. Luo Yiwu had no choice but to pour him another bowl. Zhao zhilong stood up and gulped down another three pounds of vodka. This was more than 90% vodka. That face instantly turned red and purple. With a clang, the bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces. And he himself was staggering.”Again, again ... Another bowl.” As soon as he finished, he fell to the ground. His master quickly held him.”My ... My Lord, you’re drunk. Let me help you back to your room to rest.” “I’m not drunk. How could I be drunk? I can drink seven or eight bowls of nu ... Nu ‘er Hong. It’s only ... Only two bowls. Drunk my ass. Don’t help me ...” As he spoke, Zhao zhilong fell asleep. “Help him back to the guest room.” Tang Wen said. With Luo Yiwu’s help, Grand Master na helped Zhao zhilong into the client room. “I’m sorry, Sir Chu, I’ve embarrassed myself. ” Tang Wen said. “Your wine is too scary. I usually drink three or four bowls of nuo Hong, but today, I felt like I was on fire after drinking half a bowl.” Chu Zhao shook his head. “Hahaha, it’s over 90 degrees, Lord Chu,” Tang Wen burst out laughing. “This wine is good. Why don’t you sell me a few bottles, Lord Jue? I’ll bring them back and let them try it. Haha, when the time comes, I’ll knock a few of them down and have some fun.” Chu Zhao laughed. “What’s there to buy? I’ll just give you a box, along with a toilet.” Tang Wen said. “Then this Chu will be impolite to refuse. Your toilet is indeed not bad, my family will definitely like it.” Chu Zhao laughed. “I’ll have to send someone to help you install that thing. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get it.” Tang Wen said. “I’ll have to trouble you then, my Lord. I’m from sea Saint City. ” Chu Zhao said with an embarrassed look. “It’s fine, I’ll just deliver it to sea Saint City for you. ” Tang Wen said. “Lord Jue, the war in the Northwest is tense. This is an opportunity for you.” Chu Zhao thought for a while and said. “Oh?” Tang Wen looked at him, wondering if another ‘Huang Shiren’ would come to ask for money. I’ve really worked hard for nothing. “Lord Jue is a first rank Earl. Don’t you want to be an Overlord?” Chu Zhao said. “That doesn’t matter, I just want to live happily.” Tang Wen shook his head. “Hehe, even a puny Linghai Academy dares to bully you, Lord Jue. How can you be happy? If Lord Jue were to become a Marquis and become an Overlord, would they dare to?” Chu Zhao said. “So what if he’s a Marquis? a Marquis without power is just a decoration.” Tang Wen shook his head. “That’s different. Have you ever seen a Marquis without any power?” Chu Zhao shook his head. “I don’t have an official position, where do I get the power? So what if he was the team training vice – envoy, it was just an empty title. If you donate a higher grade one, it’ll still be a useless position!” Tang Wen shook his head. “Lord Jue, you’re wrong.” Chu Zhao said. “Where did I go wrong?” Tang Wen asked in confusion. “A Duke, a count, and a Baron is the lowest. In fact, among these titles, only by becoming a Marquis could one truly be considered a noble of Chu State. Below the Marquis rank, they could only be considered people with status. If one did not even have much wealth, then this title was just an empty title. However, the Marquis was very different. Why couldn’t the Marquis directly donate silver? no matter how much you donate, it won’t work. However, battle merits can help you advance. However, that would still require hundreds of thousands of battle achievements. Even though the War in the North and west was in a critical state, donations could be converted into military merits, but if you donated a Marquis, hehe, that would cost tens of millions of silver. In this world, how many people could take out so much silver? Even if they could, who would be willing to donate it? Therefore, once a person was made a Marquis, the Imperial court would definitely reward them with additional rewards, such as a large piece of land. “Also, if the royal family is happy, they might even allow you to establish a personal army. A personal army is not as simple as a few guards. I’ve heard that the Marquis is going to attack the Pirates. What’s the use of one or two thousand people? Moreover, I heard that you’ve bought the other two islands. The Pirates around here are Savage, and it’s impossible to protect them without tens of thousands of soldiers. As long as the imperial family was happy, they could reward you with a place in the personal army camp when you were conferred the title of Marquis, which would be tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, this army camp is your personal property, and the court has no right to dispatch it. Otherwise, take your vice commander for example. He has the power to recruit a few thousand soldiers, but he has to accept the orders of the Imperial court. For example, if the war in the Northwest was tense, others would extend their hands. At that time, the soldiers that you had painstakingly recruited would become the Army of the Imperial court. Tell me, wouldn’t you die of anger?” Chu Zhao said. “The court even allows Lord Marquis to build a personal army? Isn’t the Imperial court afraid that these Marquises will rise to power and plot a rebellion?” Tang Wen was stunned. “How can it be so easy to plot a rebellion? Take Pingdong Marquis of Yanling County for example. He was surnamed Chu, a distant relative of the imperial family. He had 20000 troops in his personal army. What was the result? they angered the Imperial court and were still exterminated. Moreover, there were not many Marquises in the entire great Chu dynasty. When the Imperial court’s Army of a few million came, the personal guards could not even withstand a single blow. However, other than the Imperial court, who else do you fear? If you had 10000 to 20000 troops, even the ten ocean Saint sects would have to give you face. This was the difference between a Marquis and an Earl. In addition, there was another benefit. You have 10000 to 20000 personal guards. If they are well – trained, when the time comes, for example, when the war in the Northwest comes, you can personally lead the personal guards to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the ones fighting were your subordinates, so you didn’t have to go on stage. You could just sit in the camp and enjoy it. When the time came, all the military achievements would be on you. Moreover, if one was lucky on the battlefield, it would be easy to earn a lot of battle merits. Chu Zhao drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat.
