I have a city in another world

Chapter 6139: Land Lease and Cooperation Alliance

The envoy from the Immortal Tower City made no secret of the predicament they were facing and directly stated that they needed a large amount of food.

The Lords of Hailianfeng and Shanling City were secretly surprised. This was the first time that the two city lords had encountered such a food problem.

As a resident of Tower City, you certainly don’t need to worry about food.

The residents of the Immortal Tower City will not lack food either. The purpose of leasing land to grow crops is just to fill the stomachs of the refugees.

When the two city lords arrived, the actions of the Immortal Tower City were simply unbelievable. The high and mighty monks of the Tower City had never considered the lives of the refugee people.

They can be used when needed, but no extra care is required. Refugees are nothing more than weeds and duckweed, just like the wild beasts and livestock within the territory. Their birth, death and reproduction all depend on God's will.

The Immortal Tower City is different. It actually invested a lot of resources to grow a large amount of food to feed the refugees.

The two city lords were certain that the Immortal Tower City must have some ulterior motive, and it was not just doing good deeds.

In recent times, a large number of refugees have headed straight for the Immortal Tower City, which is a very abnormal situation.

Shanlinglou City sent people to scout, and saw that there were construction sites inside and outside the city. A large number of refugees were participating in the construction, and the scene was bustling everywhere.

Those neatly built houses were actually intended for refugees to live in, and no cash payment was required.

Simply unbelievable.

It has not been figured out what the Immortal Tower City will be built on, but one thing is certain: it won’t be long before a large city appears in the wasteland sea.

An ordinary refugee city is not worth mentioning at all, but if a refugee city enjoys the welfare of a building city, it would be a very terrible thing.

When refugees no longer have to worry about going hungry, can practice various skills and techniques according to their talents, and can also obtain the necessary materials for practice, it means that the Immortal Tower City has control of a powerful force.

Such a first-level tower city may be more terrifying than a fifth-level tower city. Once the war starts, the city lord only needs to raise his arm to gather a large number of warriors and dead soldiers.

Their realm may not be high, but they have the advantage of large numbers and are excellent cannon fodder.

Thinking of this possibility, the two city lords were secretly shocked.

The lords of all the large cities actually know this method, but very few people do it this way.

The reason is very simple. The cost-effectiveness is too low. With so many resources and energy, it is better to cultivate the residents of one's own building city.

There is no need to worry about their loyalty, and they are worth continuous cultivation, which is by no means comparable to ordinary cannon fodder.

Another reason is that they don't want the money to go out of the city. They would rather feed their own cats and dogs than let the refugees outside the city take advantage of them.

The two city lords pondered carefully and admitted that the approach of the Immortal Tower City was very wise. When the level of the tower city was too low and the number of residents in the tower city was sparse, it could indeed use external forces to strengthen itself.

The easiest forces to control are the weed-like refugees. As long as they are given enough fertilizer, they can grow quickly.

For low-level building cities, this training mode is perfect, as it can help them gain strong self-protection capabilities when they are weak.

However, doing so would inevitably consume a huge amount of resources. Food and daily necessities are only a small part of the cost, and various cultivation supplies are the biggest burden.

The more refugees you train, the greater the consumption.

The information previously gathered proved that the Immortal Tower City had grand ambitions. It was not to select elites from among the refugees, but to bring welfare to everyone.

Create a livable city and allow a large number of refugees to live in it. Even if they have no training value, they can still enjoy the benefits of the Immortal Tower City.

This is very puzzling. Does the Immortal Tower City have so much money that it has no place to spend it, and it even has to support some useless old, weak and sick people?

If this is true, we can only say that being rich makes one can do what one wants.

The Lord of Mountain Ridge City had mixed feelings. As a neighbor and secret rival of Immortal Tower City, he did not want to see Tang Zhen's plan succeed.

In the end, even if you are extremely unwilling, you can only grit your teeth and bear it.

The Immortal Tower City has stated its purpose, and it is now up to the Lord of Mountain City to decide whether or not he is willing to lease a piece of land.

Although he was very reluctant, the current situation did not allow the Lord of Mountain City to refuse.

Once Tang Zhen is angered, not only will he be attacked in retaliation, but the cooperation between the two sides will also be unable to proceed.

If the conflict escalates, the consequences will be disastrous. Hailian Peak declared war and fought with Qunfeng Tower City. At the critical moment, they also had to guard against the backstab attack from Immortal Tower City.

If Hai Lianfeng is attacked from both sides, he will undoubtedly be defeated.

There is no need to consider this matter at all. Even if the Lord of Shanling City wants to refuse, Hailianfeng will definitely not agree.

After making up his mind, the Lord of Mountain City took out a map and asked the envoy which piece of land he wanted to lease.

At this moment, he also thought clearly that the Immortal Tower City was giving him face by taking the initiative to come to him to seek leasing.

Otherwise, if they just occupy it directly, what can they do with the mountain and tower cities?

If you dare to take action, there is a high possibility that you will repeat what happened last time, or even be in a more miserable situation.

The last time, Qunfeng Tower City came to the rescue, and Tang Zhen gave the other party some face. If a conflict occurs again and the rebels are in a life-threatening situation, Qunfeng Tower City will not come forward to help them.

When he took out the territory map, the Lord of the Hilltop City had actually guessed the answer, and the facts turned out to be just as he expected.

The key location of the Immortal Tower City is at the junction of the two territories. There is a vast valley with a river passing nearby, and the terrain is quite flat.

If this place is developed, it can indeed produce large tracts of fertile farmland, but to this day, this place is still barren.

Without the permission of Loucheng, who would dare to develop arable land on a large scale? That would be simply seeking death.

After all the busy work, the city will likely be destroyed and you may even lose your life in the end.

If it is a feudal dynasty type of city, refugees are allowed to reclaim land and even given certain material rewards.

There is no such rule in the Mountain Tower City. The territory is full of virgin forests. Although many places have been reclaimed and cultivated by refugees, the Tower City will not deliberately pursue it.

The land has been selected, and the next thing to discuss is the rent issue. In the secular world, this is a very critical link.

Bargaining is inevitable, and it may even get heated.

For the two building cities, the land rent is not worth mentioning.

Shanlinglou City does not lack this rent, and it does not even want to make this money. Now it has no choice but to do so and will only collect a symbolic rent to maintain its face.

If you collect too much, you might get into trouble.

The Immortal Tower City will definitely pay the rent. This is a rule that must be followed. If we follow the rules, no one can find any fault.

It’s just a small amount of money, Immortal Tower City can afford it.

But if Shandingloucheng causes trouble and dares to ask for an exorbitant price, then he will have to pay the price.

The part that exceeds the land rent will definitely be compensated from other places, and it will be ten or a hundred times more.

Nothing bad happened and both parties to the transaction were happy.

Hai Lianfeng, who had been watching from the sidelines, quietly communicated with the Lord of Shanling City, preparing to take this opportunity to establish communication and preferably become allies with each other.

Both parties get what they need and achieve their respective goals.

The Lord of Mountain City also had this idea, and tentatively expressed his willingness to cooperate and inquired about the attitude of Immortal Tower City.

Upon hearing this, the envoy from the Immortal Tower City said that he could not make up his mind and had to return to discuss it with the city lord.

Once the results are available, we will respond as soon as possible.

Although he did not get an answer, the Lord of Mountain City was not discouraged. Not being rejected on the spot meant there was an opportunity for cooperation.

Otherwise, the envoy could directly refuse the Lord of Mountain City without asking for permission and would not get involved in this sensitive matter.

It should be noted that the meaning behind alliances is very unusual. When the envoys sense that something is wrong, they will definitely not bring trouble to their own city.

When an envoy goes out, he represents his own city and sometimes can even make decisions for the city lord.

Hai Lianfeng also knew that cooperation and alliance should not be rushed and that sufficient patience was required.

After sending off the envoy from the Immortal Tower City, Hai Lianfeng discussed the action plan with the Lord of Mountain Ridge City to ensure that no unexpected situations would occur.
