Volume 1 The Wind Blows the Blue Chapter 72 Five Million Taels of Enshrinement, Demon King of Ten Thousand Devils Cave!
"Pay tribute?" Lin Du frowned. He really didn't know. He had never heard anyone say it!
When Fengling City pays tribute to Tianxuan City, it is handled by Zhou Qing, the leader of the Cold Snake Sect, while when Canglan City pays tribute to Tianhe City, Fu Yan and Ding Lei handle it!
Unfortunately, these people all hated Northwest in that battle!
Now in Yunhan City, the minor officials who knew about paying tribute could not speak, and those who could speak did not know, so Lin Du knew nothing.
Seeing Lin Du like this, Han Yu took a sip of tea, then stared at Lin Du and said word by word: "All the cities in the Tianhe territory need to pay 1 million taels of silver to Tianhe City every year, and your Yunhan City is the combined payment of the two cities.
One, so I have to pay 2 million taels of silver!"
"In addition! Since you captured Fengling City, a city in Tianxuan territory, according to the laws of the Qianyuan Dynasty, you need to pay three times the tribute to Tianxuan City every year, which is 3 million taels of silver!"
"That is to say, you need to hand over 5 million taels of silver every year, otherwise, Tianxuan Territory will directly send troops to suppress it, and Lord Tianhe has no reason to protect you!"
"Now, do you understand?"
"What? Five million and twenty thousand silver!!!"
Lin Du could no longer remain calm and his face looked a little ugly!
Five million taels a year, my current inventory is only 20 million taels, and I still have to subsidize the development of Yunhan City and maintain the normal operation of all aspects!
He pays a tribute of 5 million taels every year, and within two years, his little wealth will be completely exhausted!
Jia Xu, who was behind Lin Du, had a flash of light in his scarlet eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Han Guang and Qing Yunzi were both a little stunned after hearing this. 5 million taels a year was simply knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow. In less than two years, Yunhan City would be sucked dry!
"Tianxuan City's 3 million taels will be seen at the beginning of next month. You should prepare as soon as possible!"
"As for the surrender to Tianhe City, the lord appreciates you very much and can give you an extension of half a year to get through the Tianxuan City first."
"Oh, by the way, one more thing, City Lord Lin, in ten days, the triennial "Ten Cities Battle" of the Tianhe Territory will be held in Tianhe City!"
"At that time, each city lord will need to lead 3,000 soldiers to enter the virtual illusion to fight. The first place will be rewarded with a low-grade spiritual weapon, 5 million taels of silver; the second place will be rewarded with a top-grade magic weapon, 3 million taels of silver; the third place will be rewarded
A top-grade magic weapon, 1 million taels of silver!"
"Your Yunhan City seems to be very capable of fighting. If you really have this strength, it may be able to temporarily relieve the urgent need."
Han Yu said disdainfully, took out an invitation carved from high-quality crystal stone from his arms, placed it on the table, and then turned around and left!
Asking Han Guang to entertain Han Yu happily, Lin Du rubbed his brow, he had a headache!
"Call Tiangan!"
In just one cup of tea, Wang Tiangan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion!
"What's going on?" Wang Tianqian asked on the way to the meeting hall.
Wang Yixuan looked around and saw no one, so he briefly explained what had just happened.
When Wang Tianqian heard this, he took a deep breath!
Another five million expenditure! If you don’t live in a household, you don’t know how expensive oil and salt are. I sighed slightly and bit the bullet and came to the meeting hall!
"The humble Wang Tianqian has met his lord!"
"There is no need to be too polite. How much money do you still have on your books now?"
Lin Du asked with a sad look on his face.
"Back to my lord, after the post-war repairs and maintenance of Yunhan City, plus the consumption of the major legions, there are still 20 million taels of silver left in the internal treasury!"
"Okay, prepare 3 million taels of silver notes for me!"
Since Lord Tianhe is willing to grant a grace period of six months, he should just owe it to himself first and accept this love!
After Wang Tiangan left, Jia Xu and Qing Yunzi also left, and Lin Du came to the study alone.
After a cup of tea, Jia Xu walked around a lot and came to Lin Du's study again!
"Lord!" Jia Xu held up his hands, his scarlet eyes full of respect!
"Wen He, tell me what you think." Lin Du looked at Jia Xu with burning eyes!
Yunhan City seems to be peaceful and prosperous now, but in fact it is full of dangers!
Lord Tianxuan did not take action at any time just because of the laws of the Qianyuan Dynasty. Once he was unable to pay the money, I believe he would definitely launch a fatal blow without mercy!
Lord Tianhe does have the intention to win over Lin Du, but Lin Du is not the kind of person who leaves his destiny in the hands of others!
"My lord, in the hands of a knight, a sword is a sharp weapon for punishing evil and promoting good, but in the hands of a villain, it is indeed a murderous weapon for seeking wealth and killing!"
"Although we are raising bandits, we do not attack ordinary people or business travelers, nor do we attack the cities in Tianhe's territory!"
"Since Tianxuan Leader takes 3 million taels of silver from us every year, then we will get it back ten times a hundred times from him!"
Jia Xu's blood-red eyes were full of excitement and bloodthirsty light!
"Well, what Wen He said makes sense, who is the right person to send?" Lin Du asked again.
"We need someone who is strong, resourceful, and able to lead an army on his own. At the same time, we need to be completely trustworthy, and we also need someone who has never been seen in front of others to avoid suspicion on us!"
Jia Xu lowered his eyes and said softly!
Lin Du nodded slowly and stared at Jia Xu: "Wen He means to recruit an unknown general again?"
Jia Xu handed over again without saying anything!
Lin Du thought for a while and nodded in agreement. There is really no better way now. He originally wanted to support war through war, but he didn't expect that capturing a city would require such a high price!
"System, recruitment, neutral gods and demon generals!"
In the face of red flames, a burst of laughter sounded like a devil from hell. Lin Du frowned. This laughter sounded like he was not a good person!
Then, a huge figure eight feet tall, with a waist ten inches wide, a broad face and a square mouth, ran out of the black mist, holding a flying swallow in his hand and walking as fast as a galloping horse!
Both hands hold two huge iron chains ten meters long. One end of the iron chain is a sharp hook half a meter long and wide!
There is a black air lingering all over!
"Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the neutral god general: Demon King of Ten Thousand Devils Cave - Dong Zhuo!"
"Demon King Dong Zhuo is cruel and notorious! He is the common enemy of the Gods and Demons Continent. Dong Zhuo is so haunted by demonic energy that anyone who comes close to him will have difficulty breathing and would be worse off than dead. He likes to eat other people's flesh and blood to gain strength! He leads an army of demons and demons to usurp the land.
The regime of the Divine Dynasty has brought chaos to the world, the people are complaining, and armies attacking Dong are everywhere. The terrible era of the devil is finally over!"
"The highest realm: the peak of the Martial Saint Realm; the initial realm: the peak of the Tongxuan Realm!"
Seeing the slight change in Lin Du's face, Jia Xu was a little confused, wondering who the newly summoned god and demon general was?
"Lord!"
Suddenly, a rough voice sounded, and a tall figure covered in black robes rushed in from the window!
Hearing this voice, a hint of astonishment appeared in Jia Xu's scarlet eyes, and then he said in disbelief: "Zhong Ying?"
"Hahaha, Wenhe, it's our family!" The visitor opened his black robe and revealed his face. It was Dong Zhuo!
