Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 180 Toast

Although the things Zhao Hai rewarded today were very violent, for those slaves, they were just shocked and returned to normal. After all, Zhao Hai had not done such violent things once or twice.

Zhao Hai helped the two of them up, then took out the marriage certificate he wrote himself, handed it to the two of them and said: "Today is your big day. As the first newlyweds of our Black Territory, I will personally give it to you." You wrote this marriage certificate. Although this certificate is not recognized elsewhere, it is recognized here in the Black Earth Territory. As long as you hold this certificate, you are legally married. It is considered a congratulatory gift from me. Bar."

This was the first time this thing had appeared on the mainland. Even Green and the others had never heard of it, let alone the slaves. Qi and Xi took the piece of paper without knowing why.

Although they had recognized the characters during this period of time, they did not recognize many characters. There were some characters on the paper that they did not recognize. They both looked at the paper blankly.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly, raised his head and said to everyone: "Our Black Territory is different from other places. Although this piece of paper is inconspicuous, it can prove that you are a legal couple. In the future, if the wife is bullied by her husband, she can come to me to file a complaint. Him, I make the decision for her. If the husband dares to abandon his wife without any reason, the wife can bring this piece of paper to me to sue him, and I will punish him. Vice versa, the same goes for the wife. Qi Hexi is the number one in my black soil territory. I didn’t have time to prepare a newlywed couple, so this piece of paper will be regarded as their marriage certificate. Now, I’ll invite Chief Green of our Black Territory to come and witness Qi He’s marriage, and ask Chief Green to read the marriage certificate.”

This form of wedding is similar to what Zhao Hai attended on earth before, but it is very different from the weddings on this continent. On the mainland, slaves don't have any weddings. Usually, two slaves want to be together. , report it to the steward, and with the steward's approval, you can be together. Some slave owners or stewards will also ask for gift money.

Civilian weddings are more lively. First, there is an introduction by a matchmaker, then the man and woman go to see each other, and finally the man sends a bride price, the woman sends a dowry, and finally the wedding is held. On the wedding day, relatives and friends will come to congratulate them. , but there are no very specific regulations on the bride price and dowry, and here in Ark Continent, women have a very high status, so on the wedding day, there will be a ceremony where the newlyweds come out to drink together.

Now, the weddings of nobles and royal families will be more grand and have more rules, but there has never been one like Zhao Hai.

It was also the first time for Green to see such a thing, but he was also someone who had seen big scenes. He took the marriage certificate from Qi's hand, and then said loudly: "Now there are two common people of the Aksu Empire, Qi and Xi, who are in love and share the same love." We are married, we are married, I would like to cite you today as Zhao Haibuda, Lord of the Black Earth Territory of the Aksu Empire."

Although there are not many words on this piece of paper, the meaning expressed is very clear. There is no marriage law here in Ark Continent, so Zhao Hai did not write anything that complies with legal regulations. He just wrote, "We are in love with each other." , words like getting married together.

The most important thing is that the word "civilian" is written on this piece of paper. In a sense, this piece of paper can also be regarded as a proof of identity for these slaves, proving that they are now civilians.

After Green finished reading, he handed the marriage certificate to Qi and Xi. Qi took the paper excitedly, as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and then handed it to Xi carefully, and Xi also took it carefully. Come over, fold it up neatly, and carefully put it in your arms.

Zhao Hai looked at the actions of the two of them and didn't say anything. He just smiled and said: "Okay, now it's considered a ceremony. Qi, Xi, you two are officially a couple starting today, so why don't you come quickly?" Give me a toast, of course, and don’t forget to toast to Grandpa Green, the witness.”

Qi and Xi responded excitedly, and Merlin smiled and picked up the wine glass. When two glasses of wine came out, Qi and Xi took the wine glasses, knelt down together, and raised the wine glasses in front of Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai was stunned and quickly helped them and said: "What are you doing? Get up quickly."

However, Qi Hexi did not get up, but knelt there and cried: "Master, we will all remember your kindness to us. Although the master has restored us to civilian status, in our hearts, we will always be He is the young master’s slave, and he invited the young master to drink our two drinks!”

Zhao Hai glanced at the two of them and felt a little excited. He stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll drink these two glasses of wine. This is wedding wine. Haha, people say wedding wine is not intoxicating. I'll drink more today." Two glasses." After saying that, he picked up a glass of wine in one hand and drank it down in one sip.

Mu Mu and others also cheered, and it seemed very lively. Zhao Hai put down the wine glass, looked at the two of them and said: "From now on, you two will love each other. If you have any difficulties, come and tell me." The two responded, Mei Ge helped them pour wine again, this time the toast was to Green, who also said a few auspicious words, and the two toasted Merlin again.

By this time, it was really lively. Those slaves had eaten with Zhao Hai several times. They were very relaxed when eating. In addition, there were a lot of meat and vegetables today, so they also Take the opportunity to eat more.

The banquet they held this time was different from other places. This time they cooked a lot of food, and there was no need to add more to the meal, so these slaves were very happy to eat.

Although these slaves have not yet returned to civilian status, they are very satisfied with their current lives. Their current business is really good. They can eat enough every day, they are not tired from work, and they can eat a meal from time to time. Meat, and even more wine today, which they never dared to think about before.

But now that they saw that Qi Hexi had restored his status as a commoner just by getting married, and could also be allocated land, these people were also interested. Many of the slaves among them were attracted by each other, and they also thought about it. Didn't you just take the time to get things done?

This day was really lively, but Zhao Hai and the others did not eat or drink much. Following Green and the others, they returned to the space. They found that the phantom beasts and flying eagles were being attacked.

After a few people sat down in the space, Zhao Hai couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Today is a good start. I'm afraid there will be more people getting married in the future. Grandpa Green, I saw you going to Casa City in a few days. Let’s order a batch of better marriage certificates so that we can issue them to them in the future.”

Green said with a smile: "Okay, the young master's method is really good, haha, but until I don't have to go to Casa City, I think that when Miss Laura asks Feiying to deliver the letter in a few days, she will tell you our request. Miss, just tell me, as long as you don’t write about the territory or who issued it, that’s fine. Master, what do you think?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it this time. Although we have divided the land this time, we have to make it clear to Qi and the others that we have the final say on what they want to plant. After they harvest it, We all take out food together. Whatever they want to buy, we also help them buy it. This is the current condition, and it can only be like this."

Green said with a smile: "This is already very good. It is already very good that these slaves can have their own homes now. It would be good for the young master to allocate land to them, so that they will work harder. But in the future, These people have been restored to civilian status by the young master, so what should we do with the extra land?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "This is actually very simple. They need farm tools, seeds, and wildebeests to farm. They don't have these things. We can rent these things to them. If they want to use these things, , just help us plant some land. If they have these things themselves, we will pay them to help us plant the land. Of course, the price will not be too high, but for them, this itself is extra. If you earn enough money, you will naturally agree.”

Green nodded and said: "That's good. It seems that we need to buy more slaves. However, we can't buy any good slaves here in Casa City. It's best to go to the Imperial Capital to have a look. Outside the Imperial Capital, There is the largest slave trading market on the continent, and you can definitely buy suitable slaves there.”

Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Is this good? With our current status, if we go to the Imperial Capital, will we be recognized?"

Green nodded and said: "This is a problem. No one knows us here in Casa City, but there are many people who know us in the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, let's buy slaves elsewhere. Master, I heard that the orcs have a lot of slaves to buy, do you think we can go to the orcs to have a look?"

Merlin said at this time: "I think this is a good idea. Go to the orc grassland. Not only are there a large number of slaves there, but we can also establish relations with the orcs. The orcs produce all kinds of magical beasts, and they are short of food. In the future, we If the black soil wasteland develops, there will definitely be a lot of food in hand, but here on the mainland, in general, the food is controlled by major trading houses, and it is difficult for us to get involved. I think it is best to sell the food to the orcs."

Zhao Hai was stunned and said: "We are not the only ones who know that the orcs are short of food, right? Other big trading houses also know about it, right? Why don't they sell food to the orcs?"

Merlin smiled and said: "It's not that we won't sell it, but it's that it's very expensive. The empire has stipulated that if you want to buy strategic materials such as grain, the empire will have to pay heavy taxes. Even if the big nobles want to smuggle, they don't dare to go too far. It’s too much, so the food from the orcs has always been very expensive, but since we have space, this tax can be waived.”

Zhao Hai nodded. He understood that this was also a way for the Aksu Empire to restrict the orcs. This was equivalent to sucking a lot of blood from the orcs so that they would never grow stronger. In this way, the north of the empire would naturally be safe.
