Chapter 173 Negotiation(1/2)
Author: Yu Gongzi ii
"You are blatantly extorting!"
In response, Luo Mingye nodded very simply.
"Yes! When I originally planned to have a nice talk with you, you didn't want to. Now I just want to blackmail you. What can you do?"
After listening to Luo Mingye's words, the old man clenched his fists.
His face gradually changed color, his eyebrows knitted together, and his eyes burst out with glances as sharp as razor blades.
When Luo Mingye saw this, he continued without caring: "If you think what I did is wrong, then just come and beat me to death!"
If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't beat you to death, I would have beaten you to death!
The old man took a deep breath, and then replied: "It was my fault just now, please continue."
Luo Mingye sneered and continued:
"Before, there were nine people who blindly chose to attack our Changsheng Dao Sect, but now they have been defeated and imprisoned by us.
However, out of humanitarian concern, we did not abuse them, but instead tried our best to treat them.
Because the injury was so severe, we spent a lot of extremely expensive medical supplies.
For this, you also need to pay the corresponding fees.”
Luo Mingye included dozens of expenses including ransom, medical expenses, treatment supplies, bed fees, caregiver fees, land damage fees, environmental restoration fees, etc., all at once.
As a result, it was concluded that the total gold that the Federation needed to pay to their Immortal Dao Sect was 15.57 million tons.
Upon hearing this number, the old man did not refuse immediately as he did at first.
Instead, he said: "Wait a minute, the land you are talking about is owned by our federation. Why do we still need to pay you compensation? Are you saying the opposite?"
Luo Mingye replied with a strange look:
"Why do you say that the land belongs to the Federation? You Federation people are just one of the creatures living on this land.
The land obviously belongs to mosquitoes, plants, and animals, and naturally it also belongs to us monks.
You have damaged the living environment of other creatures on the land. If other creatures are unwilling to speak out, you, the people of the Federation, do not have to pay compensation?
Now, since we, the Changsheng Dao Sect, have spoken for them, we will naturally have to make you all pay!
You federal people, don’t be too arrogant!”
A tall hat covered the old man, and his eyes flashed.
He had killed countless monsters and traitors in his life, but this was the first time he encountered such over-the-top rhetoric.
This feeling is really strange.
However, through the conversation with Luo Mingye, he knew that the Immortality Taoist Sect that Luo Mingye mentioned was not the weird ones that he usually encountered.
They look like a human race, but I don’t know what era they are from, but as long as they are not weird, that’s fine.
So, he patiently talked with Luo Mingye for a long time.
In the end, the two finally reached a reconciliation intention.
The old man promised that the Federation would come to sign the settlement agreement in 7 days and would gradually deliver 500 tons of gold.
In the daily life of federal people, because gold has a certain restraint effect on monsters, gold consumption is huge.
The figure of 500 tons is already all the gold in the federal inventory.
For the subsequent gold, the Federation will repay part of it to the Changsheng Dao Sect every month in the form of a mortgage.
The annual interest is 4%. It will be paid off in full in 40 years.
The Federation agreed to the Changsheng Dao Sect to lease the area near Tianjing City for 200 years at a price of 1 yuan per year.
In exchange, the Changsheng Dao Sect will help the federation eliminate the monsters, but the federation has to pay a reasonable price.
Moreover, the Changsheng Taoist Sect also promised to export spells, elixirs, weapons to suppress weirdness, etc. to the Federation.
After the two confirmed the cooperation agreement, the old man left.
To be honest, this battle was really frustrating for him.
Fortunately, the opponent is not a monster, but a legendary monk.
Otherwise, there is really no way to talk, and everyone can only fight to the death.
From the beginning to the end, the monk didn't even give his name, nor did he introduce anything about the Changsheng Taoist Sect.
Feeling the arrogance coming from the monks, he had many daydreams about Changsheng Taoism.
The way these people talk and act seems to be quite idealistic.
At least at the beginning, when faced with an inexplicable visitor like me, the first thing I did was to prepare to negotiate with myself.
If it were a more realistic group, such as the current Federation, and encountered this kind of thing, the first action would be to start a fight directly.
These people are very powerful and there are many of them.
Maybe if you make good use of it, it might even help the federation eliminate the weird ones.
Moreover, you may be able to get special benefits from these people.
After the old man returned to the Federation, he immediately informed Lin Jian of what happened here and the results of his discussions with the Changsheng Dao Sect.
Lin Jian breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the nine powerful people at the national level were still alive.
In his opinion, compensation and land renting are not big things.
In the past few years, when encountering some weird things that couldn't be defeated, they would also circle a circle around them so that the federal people could not enter the place where the other party was born.
Once they have studied their strategy and are fully prepared, they can swarm them forward and wipe them out in one wave.
The Federation has been invaded by strange monsters all year round, and its territory is vast and sparsely populated.
There is no problem at all in temporarily demarcating a place for the Changsheng Taoist Sect.
In his opinion, as long as those nine towns and states are still alive, that is the best news.
Even if you have to pay some price for this, it is very worth it.
Moreover, as long as you are willing to mobilize your strong men to search for things like gold, you can find many new mining areas every year.
Gold can continue to be mined every year, but strong men at the national level may not be able to give birth to new ones every year.
The federation often only needs to keep enough gold.
On the other hand, for warriors, the higher their ability reaches, the harder it is to improve.
Every town and country level is an unobtainable treasure for the federation.
As a result, Lin Jian immediately began to mobilize supplies and dispatched a road construction team to repair the road in Tianjing City.
500 tons of gold cannot be transported smoothly on muddy mountain roads after the war.
But when the road construction crew came here, they found that the land here had been leveled and the road had been repaired.
Not only that.
On the ruins where Tianjing City was originally located, an ancient city appeared.
What you see first is the gray tiled white walls and the tall gatehouse. The gatehouse walls have exquisite carvings. The all-wood building seems to be purely handmade.
Golden lines spread all the way from the city wall into the city.
The houses in the city, with golden roofs and stone walls, are painted with various bird patterns.
Under the sun, these patterns are colorful, delicate and beautiful.
There is a stream that runs through the entire city, and the green trees and rockeries in the city make you feel like you are in a fairyland.
A diplomat who accompanied the road construction crew was shocked when he saw this scene.
"It's only been less than 6 hours, why has it changed so much?"
He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that what he saw was real.
Then he opened his eyes wide again and looked around carefully.
"Where's the bad road that was promised? Where's the ruins that were promised?"
At this time, the head of the construction team on the side came over.
He asked: "Official, the roads here are smooth, the vegetation is lush, and there are no damaged facilities around the city. Why did you ask me to come here to repair something?"
The official spread his hands and said: "I received the order from my superiors, and I don't know much about it."
With that said, the two of them continued walking along the road.
In the mother's nest, someone asked Luo Mingye.
"Why do we call ourselves the Immortal Taoist Sect? Are we Zerg so hopeless? Isn't it worthy of you to introduce our true identity to others?"
Luo Mingye replied:
"That's because the name Zerg sounds very difficult to deal with!
