ps:  Thanks to "Boring Saint", "Malicious §Blade" and "Night Sky Eagle" for their valuable monthly votes.

Things turned out as Ito Cheng expected. After three or four days of verification, the whole Zhao Kingdom reached a consensus and agreed to make Ito the Marquis of Julu, replace him with the old title of Zhao Mu, and make Xu Ya and Ni his wife. , but the princess Zhao Qian firmly disagreed to marry. As for the title of 'jun' that Zhao Ya had guaranteed in advance, it was rejected due to the intervention of the ministers in the court.

There was no way, the status of women during the Warring States Period was too low. Although Zhao Ya was the king's sister and had the favor of King Zhao, she still had no say in the court and was a role that could only be heard.

As for the so-called "Jun", it is a special title for a group of people who have a fiefdom, an official position in the court, and always have real power, such as Xinling Lord, Pingyuan Lord, Chunshen Lord, etc., so in To a certain extent, you are the one who competes for meat with the veterans in the court and wins. Naturally, those veterans and clan members will not welcome you, nor do you want such a person to appear again. Therefore, it is a matter of course that this result will occur.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I couldn't get the job done." Zhao Ya, who returned to the mansion, said to Ito Cheng with a guilty look on her face.

"It doesn't matter, I have expected this. When I go to the palace tomorrow to receive the title, I will naturally have a way to deal with those old guys." Ito Cheng stretched out his hand and took Zhao Ya, who was walking in front of him, into his arms. He inserted his palms into her clothes, held Zhao Ya's plump and elastic breasts, and sneered while playing with them wantonly.

"Well, it's time to teach those old guys a lesson. How dare you say in front of Brother Wang that I am a rude slut and should not discuss court affairs privately. I should punish her to go back to her home behind closed doors and think deeply about her mistakes. It’s really hateful!” Zhao Ya said with a hateful voice.

Sure enough, don't offend a woman no matter who you offend, especially a woman who is capable and loves to hold grudges...

"By the way, you can go to the palace later and talk to Zhao Qian, tell her not to worry, and tell her that she will definitely become my woman." Hearing this, Ito Cheng smiled softly. said.

"Mr. Chen is really nice to Qian'er." Zhao Ya pursed her lips and said with a jealous look.

"You are even jealous of your own niece. You are really jealous." Ito Cheng squeezed hard with his palm, causing Zhao Ya to feel pain, and chuckled.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all Ya'er's fault. Ya'er shouldn't be jealous. I won't dare to do it again." Zhao Ya took a peek at Ito Cheng's expression and found that what he said was indeed Zhao Ya'er. Ya quickly said with a charming smile.

Just like in "Women's Training", jealous women can be released. Although there were no such clear rules during the Warring States Period, there was a consensus that jealous women would not end well. Either she was divorced out of anger by her husband's family, or she was disgusted by the whole family, or else she was directly sold or punished for some reason. It's not like being beaten to death has never happened, so in order not to cause trouble for myself. All women in this era can be said to be extremely obedient, even if they are fake. Also maintain a superficial appearance.

"Chen Lang, don't worry. Qian'er is Ya'er's niece, so why wouldn't Ya'er care? After the meeting was finalized, they have already gone to see Qian'er and have taken care of her. Now they are probably waiting for Chen Lang's arrival. A miracle happened." Zhao Ya said in a disgusted voice after pausing and changing her position so that Ito Cheng could play with her more.

"You are interested." Ito Cheng smiled.

"In addition, Mr. Chen, Ju Ya'er's eyes and ears came to report that people from the Wu family are very interested in cement, horseshoes and other things. They may send greetings to you after you are granted the title. Mr. Chen, you need to be prepared. ." Then, Zhao Ya straightened her expression and said.

"I heard that Wu Tingfang is the most beautiful woman in Zhao country?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, that woman is so coquettish that even the slave family felt a little ashamed of themselves. Why does Chen Lang want to take her in?" Zhao Ya, who knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string, raised her head and looked at Ito Cheng's face and asked.

"For the time being, the Wu family is still useful to me. If possible, I wouldn't mind giving a daughter of the Wu family a wife and marrying them." Ito Cheng nodded slightly and admitted.

"Yes, even with the horseshoe technology contributed by Chen Lang, Zhao Guo's dependence on war horses still cannot be completely eliminated in one or two years. What's more, the Wu family still controls half of Zhao Guo's livestock industry and has great influence on Zhao Guo. It’s huge. If used properly, it can indeed help Chen Lang better acquire the Kingdom of Zhao.” Zhao Ya said to herself with a look of surprise.

Ito Cheng smiled and did not deny it.

"How are the places I asked you to prepare?" Then, Ito Cheng asked instead.

"The places have been chosen. They are on the outskirts of Handan and in the south of the city. They are not far from Ya'er's mansion and can be reached in a moment. Chen Lang can arrange it at any time if he wants to use it." Zhao Ya replied.

"Really? Come on, take me to the outskirts of the city." Ito Cheng took out his hand, stood up and said.

"Okay." Zhao Ya straightened up and tidied her clothes. After leaving the house, he came to the courtyard of the mansion, ordered the driver and carriage to be summoned, went outside the mansion, took the carriage and drove toward the outskirts of the city.

Just as Zhao Ya said, in less than half a quarter of an hour, the carriage came to a stop in front of a wasteland with a few mud houses and farmers.

Then Zhao Ya and Ito Cheng got out of the carriage and stood next to the carriage.

"What was this place?" Ito Cheng asked quietly, looking around and feeling empty.

"This used to be a fiefdom awarded to the slave family by Brother Wang, but since Zhao Kuo's death, it has been left idle and has remained in its current state, so Chen Lang can feel free to use it." Zhao Ya replied.

Ito Cheng nodded, released his mental power, and scanned the surroundings.

"How big is your fiefdom in total?" Ito Cheng asked while scanning.

"Everywhere you see in this radius is the slave family's fiefdom, which is about eight thousand acres." Zhao Ya said proudly.

Indeed, the amount of eight thousand acres is really not a small number. It is two to three times larger than the fiefdoms received by ordinary scholar-bureaucrats and ministers. With the grain output of this era, raising a thousand people is not a problem at all, let alone this. It is also the 'precious' land on the outskirts of Handan City. This shows that King Zhao favors Zhao Ya.

"Very good." After a moment, he took back his mental power. Ito Cheng, who didn't find any problems around this land, nodded and said.

"Let's go and check out that part of the city." Ito Cheng continued.

To this. Zhao Ya naturally had no problem, so she and Ito Cheng got into the carriage again and headed towards the city under the guidance of the coachman. Within a moment, it stopped again.

"Madam, sir, we're here." At this time, the coachman reminded outside.

After hearing the reminder, Ito Cheng and Zhao Ya did not hesitate, and immediately got out of the carriage and got down to the carriage. moment. A mud house with a width of more than ten meters appeared in front of Ito Cheng.

Following Ito Cheng, he stepped forward, opened the door, and walked in. Then an empty environment appeared in Ito Cheng's eyes. The space was very large, nearly a hundred square meters, with no furnishings stored inside. It was a completely empty house.

"What was the original purpose of this place?" Ito Cheng asked.

"It turned out to be a shop owned by a businessman from Qi State, but later it was bought by a businessman from Zhao State, selling some Chu goods. A few days ago, Chen Lang said that he wanted a better storefront, and I think this place is suitable. So I asked someone to take care of it. I bought this shop." Zhao Ya, who followed into the house, explained.

However, although she said it easily, Ito Cheng couldn't understand why. In the so-called buying and selling process, power must be used. Otherwise, why would anyone want to sell such a good shop? It's just that Ito Cheng doesn't care about this. After all, Ito Cheng is not a Holy Mother, but he doesn't have the time to care about the situation of some unrelated people.

"Very good. Well done." Ito Cheng nodded.

"Then Mr. Chen, aren't you going to reward the slave family?" Zhao Ya leaned against Ito Cheng's body and said softly.

"Come here." Ito Cheng smiled softly. said.

Zhao Ya's face lit up when she heard this, and she quickly walked up to Ito Cheng. at this time. As soon as her eyes lit up, a very beautiful silver-white necklace with folds of light reflected in the sunlight outside appeared in front of Zhao Ya. ——It is a Birkin necklace with small diamonds hanging from the bottom.

Then Ito Cheng stretched his arm forward, and put the necklace around Zhao Ya's neck with Zhao Ya's eyes showing joy and excitement.

"How's it going, Mr. Chen? Does it look good?" Zhao Ya asked anxiously with a worried look on her face.

"See for yourself." Ito Cheng said, stretched out his arm, and a mirror immediately appeared in his hand and was handed to Zhao Ya.

"Ah!" Zhao Ya, who saw her appearance so clearly for the first time, looked shocked and subconsciously exclaimed. But he was immediately replaced by a look of joy. He grabbed the mirror and couldn't put it down, holding it in his hand and admiring his own appearance in the mirror.

"Since you like it, I'll give this to you too." Ito Cheng smiled.

"Really? Thank you Chen Lang, I love you so much." Hearing this, Zhao Ya immediately brightened up and quickly stepped forward to hug Ito Cheng's body tightly, and took the initiative to offer her fragrant lips.

Ito Cheng was not polite, lowered his head and kissed her, his tongues entangled skillfully and fiercely.

Until a few minutes later.

"Okay, it will be more beautiful when you go back." Ito Cheng let go of the panting Zhao Ya and said with a smile.

Immediately, the two of them stopped staying in the shop, went back out of the shop, boarded the carriage, and returned to Mrs. Ya's Mansion under the driving of the coachman. As for the ensuing romance, lingering and debauchery, I won’t say much more.

Then the next morning, Ito Cheng, who had eaten the delicacies cooked by the trained cooks in the palace with Zhao Ya, rode a carriage with Zhao Ya and moved to the palace in the center of the city.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the main entrance of the palace.

Ito Cheng and Zhao Ya got out of the car, entered the palace under the leadership of Zhao Ya, and went straight to the main hall where the court was located.

This is a large building, covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, and is surrounded by a large number of soldiers armed with armor. There are very few furnishings inside. In addition to the braziers placed on both sides of the hall for taking names and for heating in winter, there is only a large wooden silk screen with a dragon-shaped totem in the style of the Zhao State behind the throne at the innermost end. Dayu's long-armed maidservants stood on the left and right sides of the screen, protecting King Zhao who was sitting in front of the screen and sitting low behind.

On the left and right sides under King Zhao, there are more than a dozen civil and military men of different ages sitting respectively. They are wearing official clothes, their bodies are upright, their eyebrows are lowered, as if they are meditating and sleeping. It is difficult to follow them. What likes and dislikes can be seen on the calm face.

"Caomin Chen Yi (Concubine Ya) pays homage to the King." Ito Cheng and Zhao Ya paid homage to him in a polite manner.

"Sir, Sister Wang, get up." King Zhao didn't dare to pretend to be brave, so he stood up quickly and offered help.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ito Cheng and Zhao Ya smiled at each other and immediately stood up from the ground.

"Chen Yi." At this time, King Zhao shouted with a serious face.

"The grassroots are here." Chen Yi bowed and saluted.

"The strange man Chen Yi is the joy of the Zhao Kingdom. He is younger than the great talents, and his intelligence is astonishing. He has the strategies of horse's feet, stirrups, and saddles to reduce the cost of riding and help the army move quickly! There is also wonderful soil and clay, which can be used On that day, if you build the Great Wall, you will be granted a vassal status, you will be granted a giant deer, you will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, you will be married to the royal family Nuya and Ni, and you will be beautiful and look forward to it..." King Zhao looked solemn and solemn. said loudly.

To put it in vernacular, it can be summed up in one sentence: Chen Yi, a foreigner, is a good man from Zhao State. He has great talents at a young age. If you present horseshoes, stirrups, horse cases, and cement, you will have great achievements, and you can be granted the title of a vassal of the country and a giant deer. , rewarded with a thousand gold coins, Xu Zhaoya and Zhao Ni as his wives, and rewarded them with the hope that they can make more contributions in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ito Cheng and Zhao Ya thanked each other in unison.

At this point, Ito Cheng officially had his first identity in the Warring States Period, the Julu Marquis of Zhao State, the in-law man of the Zhao family!

Then Ito Cheng stood up and looked around at the scholar-bureaucrats and ministers of Zhao State. Similarly, these scholar-bureaucrats and ministers also raised their heads one after another and looked at Ito Cheng who was standing in the hall.

However, at this moment, Ito Cheng suddenly sneered and violently released his mental power, unceremoniously piercing the minds of the people around him.

In an instant, the ministers felt a pain in their heads and their consciousness became trance-like. It was not until a moment later that they regained consciousness. But at this time, the way everyone looked at Ito Cheng was completely different from before. There was no longer any contempt or scrutiny in their eyes, but full of respect.

If it weren't for the wrong location, they would have immediately bowed to the ground like King Zhao, shouting "I've seen the Lord!"

In this way, all the upper-level people in power in the Zhao Kingdom are in their hands. Ito Cheng can be regarded as secretly taking over the Zhao Kingdom!

"Your Majesty, I would like to marry Princess Qian, and I also ask for Your Majesty's permission." Then, Ito Cheng leaned forward and begged.

"This..." King Zhao deliberately showed a trace of hesitation on his face and looked at the people in the palace. After seeing that the ministers had no objection, he said happily and loudly, "I am sure. Three days later, the two daughters Heya and Ni Let’s marry Marquis Julu together.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ito Cheng continued to act.

"Okay, go down and remember to build the cement field as soon as possible." King Zhao also said in a pretentious manner.

"Yes." Ito Cheng responded. (To be continued...)
