Chapter 5977 A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold
"What's the effect?"
Ten days after the seeds were distributed for free, Xiang Chen asked Lu Fang.
Lu Fang had a wry smile on his face: "Three heads of the family, these untouchables——"
He just said the word "untouchable", when he saw Xiang Chen's cold eyes, he quickly suppressed his words and changed his words: "These people don't appreciate it. It has been ten days since the seeds were distributed, and only 40,000 people came to collect them."
."
Xiang Chen frowned when he heard this, so he rubbed his chin and started thinking.
"The people here basically have no credibility for the City Lord's Mansion, which means that no one is willing to believe it, and many people even think there is some conspiracy behind it -"
Thinking of this, Xiang Chen also felt a little helpless. Originally, a group of bandit leaders were allowed to manage these people. It was strange that a place like the City Lord's Mansion could have any credibility.
Take the eight million bandit army under Lu Bu Xing's command, for example. Why did those people join his army? Some of them were to capture young men, and some were because they joined the army. The whole family can be exempted from the poll tax and get good military pay.
You can take it.
Few people join the army because they have a strong sense of belonging to Montenegro and want to protect their country and make Montenegro rich and powerful.
"Third Master, how do you think this can be solved?" Lu Fang asked Xiang Chen.
In his heart, he was actually a little happy and disdainful.
You still want to support these untouchables and use all the income from the mines to repay them. Do you think these untouchables can be supported?
If you were as good as Commander Li Huai, wouldn't you be able to easily earn hundreds of millions of mid-level Hongmeng Amethyst just by collecting the head tax collected from these untouchables?
As a result, now I have to work hard on my own and without making any money, I have to pay outside money by myself.
Xiang Chen said: "Mobilize the army and let every family member of the army receive seeds. Tell them that after receiving the seeds, their military salary will be doubled in the next hundred years. If they do not receive it, they will never have the opportunity to be promoted in the future.
."
"In addition, you can also tell them that if the medicinal materials cannot be grown, their families do not need to bear any responsibility. All losses will be borne by the city lord's palace."
"Ah, this -" Lu Fang's heart ached when he heard this, and he looked embarrassed. Why would he still spend money to subsidize the army like this?
If you were allowed to keep running this business, it would be strange if the City Lord's Mansion wouldn't collapse.
Then Xiang Chen asked him to spread a piece of news, which made Lu Fang even more stunned.
Soon, the loudspeaker of the amplifying magic weapon spread by the city lord's palace sounded again.
"The third master has an order. Two thousand kilometers away from the east of the city lord's palace, there is a stone mountain engraved with the words Yi Nuo Qian Jin. It is about ten feet high. Anyone who can carry this stone mountain to the east gate of the city lord's palace will receive one hundred thousand medium-level Hongmeng.
Amethyst rewards, first come first served!"
When this news came out, the entire star world was boiling again.
"Carry a ten-foot stone mountain to the east gate of the city lord's palace and you can get one hundred thousand medium-sized Hongmeng Amethyst! Is it true?"
"It must be fake? How can there be such a good thing? This is just a fool."
"Yes, it must be fake. An adult can carry a ten-foot rock mountain."
"Is this Third Leader a big fool? Or does he think we are big fools?"
"Teasing the monkey."
Countless people discussed it, and even more people scorned it.
But there are always people who do it, and some people who are brave enough to give it a try go directly to find that rocky mountain.
In the dilapidated house, a thin young man heard the news. He looked at his frail sister on the hospital bed. The young man hesitated.
"Xiao Yu, please be obedient and wait at home. My brother will be back soon after going out." The young man said to his sister in a low voice.
The younger sister's face turned red and hot, she opened her weak eyes, tried her best to smile and nodded to her brother.
The young man walked out of the house and quickly ran towards the rocky mountain.
He knew where the rocky mountain was. It was very close to his home, dozens of kilometers away. Yesterday when he went out to look for herbs, he saw someone writing on it.
He didn't read much, but he knew those few words. It radiated spiritual energy. As long as he got close, he would know what those four words meant.
A promise worth a thousand dollars!
The young man ran quickly, as fast as a cheetah. He was in the quasi-sage realm and was considered a powerful person in the lower world. However, in the Hongmeng world, he was suppressed by the strength of the rules of heaven and earth and was just like an ordinary person in the mortal world.
Soon, he came to this stone mountain.
The stone mountain is not big, only ten feet high. Compared with Hongmeng Mountain, which is thousands of miles away, this can only be regarded as a stone bag.
There are a few big words stamped on it, a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold!
"This is it, right?"
The young man murmured to himself, then he took out a long iron chain and circled it twice around the small rock mountain to form the shape of a strap.
He knelt down, put on his suspenders, and shouted angrily: "Get up!"
The ten-foot-high stone mountain slowly rose up with a roar, as if a mortal was carrying dozens of kilograms of weight on its back.
At this moment, countless small towns and a picture appeared above the entire Red Cloud Star City.
It was a picture of a young man carrying a mountain of gold and silver.
"The man carrying the mountain has come out. No one is allowed to snatch or block him, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!" A cold divine thought echoed between heaven and earth.
Many people who were coming in this direction looked up at the sky, and when they saw the young man carrying the mountain, they immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet.
"Damn, it's too late!"
"How could this kid get the first step?"
"Damn, what a pity."
People who came here thinking there was a profit to be made felt extremely pity when looking at this scene.
"Hey, isn't this Feng Xi from our village?"
"It's really Feng Xi. He went to carry the rocky mountain that the Third Master mentioned?"
"What a silly boy. Then the third boss is clearly treating us common people like monkeys."
"More than two thousand kilometers, with his physical strength, he could take half his life."
People from the same village as the young man, those who recognized him could not help but make fun of him and ridicule him.
Most people think that it is impossible for the teenager to get that money.
The young man walked quickly with a mountain of rocks on his back. He was very fast, but also very strenuous.
After running for hundreds of kilometers, he would be so tired that he would put down the rocky mountain, rest for a long time, eat some wild fruits and continue on the road.
When passing through the town, the people regarded him as a fool, and many people ridiculed him, saying that he was a monkey being played by the third master.
But young Feng Xi turned his back on these gossips. Even if the Third Master was really treating him like a monkey, he would still give it a try. He didn't expect to get a hundred thousand taels of Hongmeng Amethyst. He only wanted to give himself a hundred taels.
I can buy medicine to save my sister.
Therefore, even if it is a straw, a glimmer of light that penetrates into the gap, the young man wants to hold it tightly in his hands.
Just like that, a live broadcast of the mountain-moving operation that was witnessed by almost everyone in the star world began.
This news was even quickly passed to other commanders and other star realms——
