Although Zhao Hai’s reward was very shocking, the slaves were only shocked for a moment before they returned to normal. After all, it was not the first time that Zhao Hai had done such a shocking thing.

Zhao Hai helped the two of them up and took out the marriage certificate he had written. He handed it to them and said, ” “Today is your big day. As the first couple in our Black Earth territory, I personally wrote this marriage certificate for you. Although this certificate is not recognized anywhere else, it is recognized here in the Black Earth territory. As long as you hold this certificate, you are legally married. Consider it my congratulatory gift to you.”

This was the first time that this thing had appeared on the continent. Even Grimm and the others had never heard of it, let alone the slaves. Both Qi and Xi received the piece of paper with a puzzled look.

Although they had learned how to read during this period of time, they didn’t recognize many words. They didn’t recognize some of the words on the paper, so they looked at the paper in a daze.

Zhao Hai smiled and raised his head to say to everyone, ” &Quot; our Black Earth territory is different from other places. Although this piece of paper is unremarkable, it can prove that you are a legal couple. In the future, if the wife is bullied by the husband, you can come to me to Sue him. I will make the decision for her. If the husband dares to abandon his wife for no reason, the wife can also bring this piece of paper to me to Sue him. I will punish him for his crime. On the contrary, it is the same for the wife. Qi Hexi is the first pair of newlyweds in the Black Earth territory. I did not have time to prepare. So this piece of paper is their marriage certificate. Next, we will invite our Black Earth territory’s Chief Steward green to come and witness Qihe’s marriage. We will invite Chief Steward green to read the marriage certificate.”

This type of wedding was similar to the one Zhao Hai had attended on earth. It was very different from the weddings on this continent. On this continent, there was no wedding for slaves. Usually, two slaves would report to the manager if they wanted to be together. With the manager’s consent, they could be together. Some slave owners or managers would even ask for sex.

A commoner’s wedding would be a little more lively. First, a matchmaker would introduce them to each other. Then, the couple would go and meet each other. Finally, the man would give a betrothal gift, and the woman would give a dowry. Finally, the wedding would be held. On the day of the wedding, friends and relatives would come to congratulate them. However, there were no specific rules on the betrothal gift and dowry. On the ark continent, women were also of high status. Therefore, on the day of the wedding, the new couple would come out to drink together.

In the past, the wedding of the royal family would be more Grand and formal. However, a wedding like Zhao Hai’s had never happened before.

It was Green’s first time seeing such a thing, but he was also a person who had seen big scenes. He took the marriage certificate from Qi’s hand and said loudly, ” &Quot; today, a commoner of the Arkas Empire and a man who loves each other have married. Today, we will issue a special citation, Lord of the Black Earth territory of the Arkas Empire, Zhao Hai bu da. &Quot;

There were not many words on the paper, but the meaning was clear. There was no marriage law on the ark continent, so Zhao Hai did not write anything like ” in accordance with the law “. He only wrote ” love and marriage “.

The most important thing was that the words ” commoner ” were written on the paper. In a sense, this paper could be regarded as an identity certificate for these slaves, proving that they were now commoners.

After reading it, he handed the marriage certificate to Qi and Xi. Qi took the paper excitedly as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Then, he carefully handed it to Xi. Xi also took it carefully, folded it neatly, and carefully put it in his arms.

Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and did not say anything. He only smiled and said, ” “Good, now the ceremony is done. Qi, Xi, from today on, you two are officially husband and wife. Come and toast me. Of course, don’t forget to toast Grandpa Grimm, the marriage witness.”

Qi and Xi responded excitedly. At this time, Merlin smiled and picked up the glass. After two glasses of wine were served, Qi and Xi took the glasses and knelt down together. They raised the glasses in front of Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai was stunned. He quickly helped them up and said, ” “What are you doing? get up.”

Qi Hexi didn’t get up. Instead, he knelt there and sobbed, ” &Quot; young master, we will always remember your kindness. Although you have restored our status as commoners, we will always be your slaves in our hearts. Please drink two cups of wine! &Quot;

Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and was a little excited. He stood up and said, ” “Alright, alright, I’ll drink these two cups of wine. This is a wedding wine. Hehe, people say that wedding wine is not intoxicating. Today, I’ll drink two more cups.” Then, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it up.

Blockhead and the others were also cheering, making the atmosphere very lively. Zhao Hai put down his wine glass and looked at the two of them. &Quot; “From now on, you two must love each other. If you have any difficulties, let me know.” The two of them responded, and meg helped them pour wine again. This time, it was to Grimm. Grimm also said a few auspicious words, and the two of them gave Merlin a toast.

It was really lively at this time. The slaves had eaten with Zhao Hai a few times, so they were very open when they ate. In addition, there was a lot of meat and vegetables today, so they took the opportunity to eat more.

The banquet they held this time was different from other places. This time, they made a lot of dishes. If they didn’t eat, they would add more, so the slaves ate very happily.

Although these slaves had not yet recovered their status as civilians, they were very satisfied with their current lives. Their business was really good now. They could eat their fill every day, and their work was not tiring. They could even eat meat from time to time. Today, they could even drink wine. This was something that they would not have dared to dream of in the past.

However, now that they saw Qi and Xi recover their status as commoners after marriage and get land, these people were tempted. Many of the slaves liked them and thought about whether they should hurry up and get things done.

It was a lively day, but Zhao Hai and the others did not eat or drink much. They followed Grimm back to the dimension, where their Mirage beasts and Eagles were being attacked.

After they sat down in the medium, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but chuckle. &Quot; &Quot; today is a good start. I’m afraid there will be more marriages in the future. Grandpa Green, I think you should go to Casar city in a few days and order a batch of good marriage certificates. We can give them out later. &Quot;

Green smiled and said, ” good, young master’s idea is really good. Hehe, but I don’t need to go to Casar city. I think when Miss Laura sends a letter to me on an Eagle in a few days, she can tell the lady of law our request. As long as it doesn’t state which territory it is or who sent it, it will be fine. What do you think, young master? ”

Zhao Hai nodded, ” okay, let’s do it that way. Although we’ve distributed the land, we have to make it clear to Qi and the others that we have the final say in what they want to plant. After they buy it, we’ll sell it all. Whatever they want to buy, we’ll help them buy it. This is the only way. &Quot;

Grimm smiled and said, ” this is already very good. These slaves now have their own homes. It is already very good. Young master, it is good to give them the land. This way, they will work harder. However, if these people are restored to the status of civilians by young master in the future, what will happen to the extra land? ”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” &Quot; it’s actually very simple. They need farm tools, seeds, and horned scaly horses. They don’t have these things, so we can rent these things to them. If they want to use these things, they can help us farm some land. If they have these things, we can hire them to help us farm. Of course, the price won’t be too high, but to them, this is an extra income, so they will naturally agree. &Quot;

Clint nodded and said, ” that’s good too. It seems like we have to buy more slaves. However, we won’t be able to buy any good slaves here in Casar city. It’s best to go to the imperial capital to take a look. Outside the imperial capital, there’s the largest slave trading market on the continent. We can definitely buy suitable slaves there. &Quot;

“Is this okay?” Zhao Hai frowned. With our current status, if we go to the imperial capital, will we be recognized?”

Clint nodded and said, ” that’s a problem. No one here in Kass city knows us, but there are many people who know us in the imperial capital. How about this, we can go to other places to buy slaves. Young master, I heard that the orcs have a lot of slaves to buy. Do you think we can go to the orcs to take a look? ”

At this time, Merlin said, ” I think this is a good idea. We can go to the orc grasslands and take a look. Not only do they have a large number of slaves, but we can also establish a relationship with the orcs. The orcs produce all kinds of magical beasts, and they lack food. If our blackearth wilderness develops in the future, we will definitely have a lot of food in our hands. On the mainland, food is controlled by major trading companies in ordinary places. It will be difficult for us to interfere. I think it’s best to sell food to the orcs. &Quot;

“We’re not the only ones who know that the orcs are short on food, right?” Zhao Hai was stunned. You should also know about the other big trading companies, right? Why don’t they sell their food to the orcs?”

Merlin smiled and said, ” it’s not that they don’t want to sell it, but they’re very expensive. The Empire has set a rule that if you want to buy strategic materials like food, the Empire has to pay a heavy tax. Even if the great aristocrats want to smuggle it, they don’t dare to go too far. Therefore, the food of the orcs has always been very expensive. Since we have the space, we can be exempted from this tax. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded. He understood that this was one of Arkas ‘methods to restrict the orcs. This was equivalent to sucking the blood of the orcs in large amounts, making it impossible for them to grow stronger. This way, the North of the Empire would naturally be safe.
