As a lord, I was forced to farm

Gao Qi, a bearded official, stared wide-eyed, "Is everything paid in Fan currency?"

"nature."

Although people in this world don't have the concept of cash flow, they also know how tempting it is to get the 60 gold dollars.

The faces of Zeyan people changed again and again. They thought of a lot in a flash. With 60 gold dollars, they can buy a lot of cheap slaves, replenish the army, and plant more crops. Some of their old city walls can also be rich immediately After some repairs, it can even be built even bigger!
Of course, more importantly, the 60... how could they get some of it themselves...

"Can you really hand over so much gold in Suling?" Wen Yunsheng stared at him for a moment, thinking of something, and suddenly smiled, "We can accept this condition, but we have to use a city as collateral!"

Use the city as collateral?

interesting.

Jiang Ran raised his glass, "I would like to hear more about it."

After listening to Wen Yunsheng's complaint, Jiang Ran understood that this was almost the nature of "liquidated damages". Ceded to Zeyan County.Of course, if Zeyan County did not deliver the goods, the contract would be voided and at the same time a town should be ceded to Suling!

This seems to be a fair and just contract, but it is actually more stringent on Jiang Ran's side.

Ninety-nine percent of Zeyan County can deliver the goods. Although the export volume of Zeyan County in previous years was only about [-] catties, it is obvious that Zeyan did not try its best to mine Zeyan.

On Suling's side, like Zeyan County, which has been saving for a hundred years, there is no guarantee that there will be 30 gold dollars in the territory. How can a small county that has just been promoted have the ability to pay the payment on time?

The two parties have been playing until now, and this is no longer a simple sale of salt, but has risen to a fight for land.

Jiang Ran didn't reply immediately, the night and the lights alternated, and her expression seemed a little blurry at this moment.

Jiang Ran didn't say a word, and Yun Pang and others didn't dare to move. Seeing the people in Suling deflated, the smile on Wen Yunsheng's face became wider and wider.

For a long time, as if desperate, Jiang Ran clenched her fists on the table, "... yes."

Yun Xiang seemed to want to stop him, "...the county lord..."

Gao Qi hurriedly stopped him, "Then formulate the contract again!"

The two parties modified the details of the contract documents. For example, Zeyan’s monthly delivery time was set within the first to fifth day of each month, and Su Lingze had to pay in June and December each year.

Zeyan chose Fenghuang Town as the town, while Suling chose Chaoyang Town in Zeyan County with an area of ​​about [-] square kilometers.

The contract will not be invalidated due to the upgrade of the territory. For example, Zeyan County or Suling County has become a county-level, capital-level or even higher-level territory, and the signed contract is still valid...

After repeatedly checking for loopholes, the lords of both sides dropped jade seals.

The jade map has extremely high contract power. If someone violates the behavior, the town as collateral will be directly distributed to the party whose interests are damaged, and there is no room for someone to break the contract.

Jiang Ran put away the contract with the jade seal, but Wen Yunsheng narrowed his eyes suddenly and said, "I heard that you went to Zhuoli County three times before and after Suling, but you returned without success in the end, but soon, today You just visited Zeyan County to buy salt, just to deal with Zhuoli County?"

The purpose was dismantled by Wen Yunsheng all of a sudden, and Yun Ping gave a slight pause.

"An enemy's enemy is a friend." Jiang Ran flicked the piece of paper and put it away calmly, "Even if there is any conspiracy, it is aimed at Zhuoli County. Anyway, there is no loss to Zeyan County. Zeyan is sold, so you don't choose to accept it?"

"Congratulations, it's a win-win."

Jiang Ran's slightly upturned eyes were full of fierce pleasure, and her pupils seemed to be a dangerous dark purple color, and they would sink if she looked at them too much.

It has to be said that Wen Yunsheng coveted this appearance, even the sense of danger was ignored by this high-ranking man.

A mouse-eyed official and Wen Yunsheng looked at each other, and they understood Wen Yunsheng's thoughts very dog-leggedly. Suddenly, with a bit of joking and wickedness, he said, "The agreement between the two parties is worth a lot of fun." It just so happens that the princess Jiang is so beautiful that she dances beautifully. How about a dance and a song by the princess Jiang to show the friendship between the two counties?...It just so happens that there are many skilled musicians on the main hall , I am really dissatisfied... Didn't you bring a piano girl to accompany you, hahaha!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials present in Zeyan County were about to cater to his words and laughed.

Yun Ping's expression was ugly, and his eyes were gloomy when he stared at the mouse-eyed man.

The night shrouded silently, the silver light revealed the window sill pouring down, and a gust of wind blew past, as if covered with a layer of frost.

In an instant, before the smile on the mouse-eyed official's face disappeared, a white shadow wrapped around his neck, and there was a rattling sound, and the mouse-eyed official rolled his eyes and fell silent.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and before the smiles on the faces of Zeyan County officials disappeared, their voices fell silent as if they were choking their throats, and they stared at a white creature stupidly.

Bai Mei's dark blue vertical pupils reflected Gao Gao's wildness and viciousness, and slowly slid down from the mouse-eyed official's neck, and swam to Jiang Ran's feet like a snake.

Jiang Ran teased the white scales on Bai Mei's head as a reward, Xiaolong rolled his body into a ball, and his dark pupils gradually became lighter.

Gao Qi was the first to react, pointing at Jiang Ran angrily and said, "You actually committed an attack in Zeyan in public, and even brought a beast into the palace. Could it be that you want to assassinate the county king and start a war with Zeyan County!!"

"No way, my Qi beast is usually very well-behaved. I just want to play with him. I didn't expect him to be so fragile. If you touch him, you will die. If there is any offense, I will apologize to the County Lord Zeyan on behalf of Baimei. " Jiang Ran said sorry, but her tone and expression were indifferent and arrogant, and she didn't mean to apologize at all.

As we all know, there are such professions as spirit beast masters in this world, so it is assumed that spirit beasts contracted with humans are very well-behaved, and they cannot be regarded as fierce beasts at all. Besides, Zeyan County has never said that contracted spirit beasts cannot enter other marshes with their masters. Yan County.

And Bai Mei did kill someone, but what's the matter?

The old woman He who had been quiet for a long time suddenly said, "This person compares my county lord to a dancing girl. Such an insult is to provoke the relationship between our two counties, and he deserves death."

A very powerful force erupted from the old woman He who made the sound, which made all the Zeyan people present, including Wen Yunsheng, tremble in their hearts.

In Suling County, there are such powerful masters! ! !

Yun Xiang respectfully said, "This person speaks such foul language and provokes the friendship between the two counties. I suspect that it is the secret agent sent by the enemy county. Our county has sent [-] elite soldiers to stay outside Zeyan City. If the county lord of Zeyan needs it, We are willing to send troops to help you!!"

Wen Yunsheng's face turned red.

What help, this is clearly a naked threat! (end of this chapter)
