Chapter 298: Conferred the title of Dragonborn
For most ordinary people, the most difficult questions are multiple-choice questions.
If a person does not have much life experience and comes from the bottom of society, he will not be able to make choices on his own.
Either you look back and forth, or you are full of fear, or you choose one at random and regret it for the rest of your life, or you choose the worst option right away.
As a businessman, Windlow is best at dealing with multiple-choice questions, and he even has a standard set of solutions for multiple-choice questions.
Even when faced with new choices that you have never encountered before, you can still draw a lot of experience from past experiences.
The first point is undoubtedly the best solution. After all, the business community values long-term interests, and letting Longzi owe them a favor brings unspeakable benefits.
The second point is quite standard. It is just a basic trade of exchanging money for goods. There is no loss or gain.
The third point must not be chosen. An IOU is not money, but a death warrant.
The more IOUs someone has, the more likely he is to be taken advantage of. Never hold IOUs in your hand, because then the one who owes the money will be the boss.
Now that we have a basic selection guideline, we should be able to make this multiple-choice question more rationally.
This is not a game that can't be ended by just saying "I choose the first one".
After tidying up a bit, Windlow and Mousse showered, changed their clothes, put on their more formal attire, and at the invitation of Binlong Zhaoming, went to the government office of Hanyu Port which had just been taken over.
Of course, he performed the Zhendan etiquette and faced the youngest son of the Dragon Emperor who sat high on the temple as a subordinate.
Although there are rumors that Binlong Zhaoming likes to have fun with the people and does not like the concept of superiors and inferiors, he is still the son of the dragon after all.
In formal occasions, you still can't act like an idiot and try to get close to people by saying how brave you are and how good you are at drinking.
After some formalities, Zhaoming waved his hand and offered them seats, allowing the two to continue with the next topic, which was the appreciation session on merits.
Mousse looked around and realized that there were certainly more people in the temple than just her and Windlow.
There were generals and soldiers who had made great contributions in the siege, as well as local bureaucrats of Hanyu Port who accepted the surrender and supported Zhaoming.
It was like an occasion for distributing interests, which made Mousse very unhappy. After whispering something softly to Windlow, he sat down and rested by himself, just like a child taken to a party by his parents.
Windlow was not stupid. He was a foreigner present at the event of distributing benefits. If he were to be the first to be rewarded, wouldn't he be made a target?
Facts have proved that Zhaoming was really using himself as a scapegoat.
He looked directly at all the Zhendan soldiers and civilians around him, and then pointed at Windlow.
"Let me introduce this to everyone. This is the imperial merchant who came to Zhendan with Gelt. He played a great role in the successful siege."
“Not only did he give us maps of various important buildings in the city before the siege, but he also bought and sold goods at reasonable prices when rebuilding the city.”
"It is said that businessmen value profit over separation. They say that businessmen are obsessed with money, but he does not have that tendency at all. He is a good businessman."
"For such a good businessman, and a good foreign businessman, it is natural to reward him, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Zhendan soldiers and civilians present immediately shouted in unison that it was right and that he should be rewarded. However, how to ask for the reward was Windlow's problem.
The two of them had a conversation yesterday and gave three options.
"Helping the orthodox dragon son to eliminate the rebels is something that must be done no matter where they are."
The first sentence is used to express one's starting point and to point out the rationality and legitimacy of Zhaoming's rule.
"And for a businessman, a stable business environment is not only his own pursuit, but also the pursuit of everyone in the local area."
The second sentence puts his vision here, indicating that he only pursues a stable business environment, and other things can be put aside without his involvement.
After saying these two sentences, it means that you have completed basic etiquette and then listen to others, especially other heroes of this siege.
At this moment, Mousse came back to his senses and gently nudged Wendlow with his elbow.
"Speak some cool words of your own."
I almost forgot about this.
After all, it's on someone else's territory, and when you receive the reward, you must state all the contributions you have made.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhaoming to convince the people. Why could an imperial merchant who came from afar receive a direct reward? There must be a suitable reason.
"Because I drew a map of the city before the war started, and marked all the key locations to avoid some important buildings being destroyed during the siege."
"It's easy to destroy something, but it's definitely time-consuming and laborious to rebuild it. And I also helped stabilize prices after the siege ended, so I guess I made a small contribution."
With these two reasons, no matter how unconvinced the Aurora soldiers, bureaucrats and even the people's representatives were, they had to shut up their complaints.
Rewarding is a must, and there is no reason for them to jump out and say that the reward must be taken back at this time.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Just like the lines prepared during the interrogation yesterday, the reward was offered by Zhaoming and only he could give it, and Wendlow could not argue with it.
"It is necessary to promote the orthodoxy of the Dragon Son. Providing assistance on behalf of the Empire is for the common goal of becoming friendly countries and seeking common interests and well-being."
What this means is that we should just be friends and maintain good relationships with each other.
Zhaoming naturally nodded in agreement. It was true. The Empire and Zhendan were both human factions and they jointly resisted Chaos. They were indeed friendly countries.
As for Windlow, he is responsible for communication among friendly countries.
"Grant Wendlow Zhendan the honorary status of Dragonborn, enjoy lifelong Dragonborn rights, and be exempt from tax."
This reward sounded like a lavish one, and the other heroes present were talking about it and whispering in private.
Although in Zhendan, the identity and bloodline of dragon descendants are innate, they enjoy preferential treatment as superior people, and due to genetic advantages, they can engage in more excellent professions.
But as a reward, some ordinary people can also obtain honorary dragonborn status and enjoy dragonborn rights throughout their lives, including but not limited to priority promotion and priority selection.
To obtain this kind of honor, it is basically impossible without more than ten years of military career, political achievements that are worthy of the Dragon Emperor's knowledge, and major contributions.
In addition, there are very few dragon descendants in Zhendan, so it is not easy to obtain this status, let alone for foreigners to obtain such an honor.
Zhaoming had certainly anticipated the dissatisfaction of some of the people at his table, and had already made preparations.
He reached for the box on the table and took out...
