A large number of people came to the temple of the god.
Although it was already midnight, the person who came was the queen, so the high priest had no choice but to dress up and go out to greet her.
"Why did the queen come so late..."
Of course the high priest couldn't tell the queen not to come.
He said with a smile on his face: "The queen will come to worship as soon as she arrives.
Her piety will definitely move the gods."
"Of course, thank God for keeping everything safe in Ekash."
Although Cheng Qianxun was very tired, she still managed to come over, along with the ministers who were waiting for her return at the palace.
She walked into the temple and asked the maid to place the tribute on the clay table.
Watching the Queen respectfully bring her ministers over and kneel down according to etiquette.
After kneeling down and worshiping, the high priest was about to send it away with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, several maids came in with mats and wool.
"This is" the high priest was stunned.
"Thank you for your hard work.
Go back and rest first.
If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Cheng Qianxun dismissed the ministers and turned to the high priest and said, "I often dream of reminders from the gods after I go to bed.
Could you please help the high priest pray with me today?"
.
Of course, there is no need to stand, sit down first, and then stand next time if you can’t dream.”
If the king comes and needs to pray, he needs to be with him.
Usually, you have to stand and pretend to be a ghost.
You have to stand as long as the king prays.
Watching the queen lie down, she was covered with several thick pieces of sheepskin.
The maid next to him asked him to sit next to the tribute platform, but he could only sit down with a grimace.
The Queen was not here, so no one could make the decision for the time being.
As a result, they were caught two days late and even forced the Minister of Finance to give money.
However, the Minister of Finance knew that the Queen was not easy to mess with, so he held on to his purse tightly and dared not give it.
The high priest sent someone to the palace at night to urge him, as if he would be punished by the gods if he didn't pay.
Cheng Qianxun lay down and slept comfortably.
She was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the pillow.
The high priest could only sit next to him and did not dare to lie down.
He sat there and dozed off.
It finally dawned and Cheng Qianxun opened his eyes.
I saw the high priest sitting on the mat, his body slightly arched forward, and he rushed forward from time to time.
Fortunately, there was enough meat on his fat belly to support him.
She secretly smiled and yawned widely after standing up.
Turn around and look again.
The high priest still didn't wake up.
The maid who was on duty next to her saw her and couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Qianxun motioned for her to wake up.
The maid went over and coughed first.
The high priest was still piled there like a pile of meat like a Maitreya Buddha.
I didn't expect that I could still fall asleep like this.
I was snoring, and my mouth was trembling with the air blown out.

Cheng Qianxun suppressed a smile and signaled to shout again.
The maid then stood up straight and shouted: "Go to the basin, the queen is about to wash up" After shouting, the high priest is still asleep, he is really the god of sleep.
The maid had no choice but to push it with her hands: "Hey.
Hey, high priest, high priest."
"Ah.
Ah" the high priest woke up, quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and chirped a few times: "Hehe, the queen is awake."
Cheng Qianxun had already started to reach out and put his hand into the basin to wash his face.
After his face was wet, he took the cloth from the maid next to him.
Wiping his face: "Did you sleep well?"
"Sleep well...
Oh, no no.
I am also looking for a chance to meet the gods in my dream."
The high priest smiled sheepishly.
"No wonder I can't see the God.
I originally thought it must be because you didn't pray well.
It turns out that the God has met you."
Cheng Qianxun stood up: "Since the God has seen you, you can ask me something later. , Who should I choose to be the man?
Okay, you’ve prayed enough, it’s time for me to go back, no need to send you away, go to bed.”
You should be able to hear this.
If you dare to make the Queen unhappy, just wait until you are unhappy.
The high priest kept groveling and sent her out of the temple.
Back at the palace, the ministers were already waiting for the morning court in the main hall.
"I have kept everyone waiting.
I just went to the temple to pray for blessings and ask questions."
Cheng Qianxun walked to the mat and sat down, raising his hand to the Minister of Finance: "You did a good job this time.
I originally wanted to send You are building a house outside the city to accommodate the merchants who come over.
I see that you are in charge of my money and I won’t let you take it.”
The finance minister hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Queen, don't charge me any more.
Almost all of my family's money is spent on food.
If I are asked to repair a house again, I will have to tear down my own house."
It is not easy to raise so much grain.
Thanks to the trade here, a large amount of grain is shipped, but it also has to be bought with money.
Cheng Qianxun smiled secretly, then turned to the record officer and ordered: "Report it."
The tax revenue in Ekash has not yet been declared and counted, but from the current point of view, it is definitely higher than the previous time.
The issue discussed this time is that some of the slaves sent were kidnapped.
"How to distinguish the abducted ones?"
Cheng Qianxun asked.
Ragassi, who participated in the government, replied: "All slaves will have a word permed on the back of their shoulders.
They are all permed when they are about two years old.
For some kidnapped people, the perm on the back may be very new and not an old wound. " "That's simple.
Without a market, there is no business."
Cheng Qianxun smiled contemptuously: "The taxes in Ekash are not obtained by selling people."
The old minister said: "It is impossible not to trade slaves.
If there is not enough manpower, many people will buy a few and take the goods with them.
If it is banned, they will also trade privately.

Not only will it not stop, but there will be no taxes."
"Then let's compromise."
This is a complex type of semi-slavery and semi-feudal society.
Some things cannot be relied on wishful thinking.
Reason is the best policy.
After thinking for a while, she raised her hand and asked the recording officer to start writing: "From today on, no children under ten years old are allowed to be bought or sold in Ekash.
If found, the traffickers and buyers will be punished together and jointly punished ten times."
Fines.
Anyone who is trafficked can seek help from soldiers and officials.
Those who dare to commit human trafficking will be punished."
Children over ten years old can still speak, no matter how late they are.
It is difficult for children who are too young to find a way to seek help from human traffickers.
Then there is the punishment.
Cheng Qianxun looked at the official sitting below: "Tell me what punishment you will impose."
So the ministers came up with ideas one after another.
Some people advocated a heavy fine and beheaded immediately if caught; some people advocated a lighter punishment, with a fine of twenty times and being prohibited from entering Ekash.
Cheng Qianxun suddenly had an idea: "How about this, all those who are confirmed to be kidnappers will be punished as slaves, and the kidnapped families will be given priority to buy them at half price."
The old minister, whose dilapidated home had already been renovated with two rooms, immediately supported him: "Okay, wonderful."
He stared, getting stronger and stronger, and said in a loud voice: "In this case, who would dare to be a kidnapper?"
"This punishment is too severe..." a minister muttered.
Cheng Qianxun sneered and leaned on the cushion: "If your children or family members were kidnapped and used as slaves, do you still think it's too heavy?
If you catch them and cut them into pieces, it will be easier for them.
Just write like this After writing it, I went to the city and announced it, and it was posted at the gate, and it will be implemented from today on.
I want to make Ekash clean and less dirty."
It's cool, it's cool, but it's still cool to be a queen, being able to do some very satisfying things.
Of course, the traffickers are going to cry As they were continuing, a guard suddenly came in.
After walking in, he knelt among the sitting ministers and said, "Queen, the King of Nippur sent an envoy to say something very important."
King of Nippur, Sneijder, why did he send people here?
Cheng Qianxun ordered: "Let him come in."
The envoy from Nippur was not as embarrassed as the person sent by Regel to report the news, but when he came in, he knelt down, raised his hands in the air, and then prostrated on the ground, howling: "Queen, please help the King of Nippur, he has always admired him very much." your..."
"Slow, wait."
Cheng Qianxun frowned and interrupted him, and smiled bitterly: "What a day, everyone used to come here asking me to surrender, but now they all come kneeling and begging me for help.
If you have anything to say, please tell me Tell me, let’s make things clear.
Someone is trying to rebel against the King of Nippur again.”
This messenger was also interesting.
He immediately stopped crying hypocritically, raised his body, and explained the matter seriously and calmly.
It turns out that Nippur is between Uruna and Urs, which means that Sneijder's country is between Rudolf and Gordon.
Rudolph asked Gordon to join forces with him and attack Sneijder from both sides, and Gordon agreed.
So Gordon took 20,000 soldiers and horses over, and after crossing the border, he discovered that Rudolph had not moved at all.
Now it's good.
Gordon's troops have already crossed the border.
He couldn't lose face by withdrawing his troops, so he fought.
He would fight sooner or later anyway.
Since the country is relatively strong now, he simply fought.
Sneijder had no choice but to include all his soldiers in the city, even those who were fifty years old, and the total was only 17,000, so he called an envoy to come over for help.

Cheng Qianxun chuckled to the sky: "Ask for help from me, right?
You should go out now and go all the way to the east.
You will be able to reach Elika by tomorrow morning.
You should ask King Elika to borrow troops."
The messenger knelt there and did not move, as if he was staying here: "Because of the marriage proposal, King Erica wished that my king would die.
And he could easily explain it.
He heard that he had just killed someone who tried to usurp the throne. , It can be said that the situation is uncertain and it is difficult to send troops.
Besides, Nippur and Elika have no friendship.
If the queen asks King Elika, he will definitely send troops
.
"
Sending troops to support his love rival?
Come on, but it also shows that Sneijder really has no choice, otherwise he wouldn't come here to ask for help.
Cheng Qianxun thought for a while and asked: "With 17,000 soldiers plus the city wall, we should be able to draw a tie."
The messenger had a bitter look on his face: "But that is King Urs.
It is said that he is very good at leading troops.
His soldiers are all trained personally.
Wherever he goes to fight, one of them can match at least two.
Otherwise, he has only been on the throne for three years, but there are two A city, such a large piece of land.”
Gordon used to be a special forces soldier and was stationed abroad.
He must have used the instinct hidden deep in his memory to manage and train his soldiers in a modern military style, while Sneijder could only teach his soldiers to box.
No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he could not beat Gordon in a collective battle.
Cheng Qianxun was so angry that he stood up and walked back and forth to see these worried teammates.
A man has a great country, but he still cannot sit firmly on the throne.
What's the point of one person playing dirty tricks and picking two others to fight?
