Feihe rushed into a forest on the island. Zhan Changfeng sealed the cultivation of the two demons and untied the rope. "The words of Chao Sheng reminded me that the Council of Elders may not be able to control this far, so we can only deal with ourselves and the enemy."
Solved, now you are prisoners of Pearl Island."
He Minggong secretly cursed Chaosheng, without any objection on the surface, and silently explained the sealed cultivation level. The more he explained, the more silent he became. Her cultivation level was obviously lower than his, but he could not break her seal.
Haizhe rolled his eyes and remained silent. Master Turtle would definitely send someone to rescue them.
The two monsters followed Zhan Changfeng and scared away many wild beasts with a straight face. Zhan Changfeng didn't care what their expressions were and wandered down the mountain to the nearby villages for a walk. They were full of old, weak and young children, and they
After talking for a while, I found out that all the young adults in the village were making a living in the city. Now that many shops have withdrawn from Pearl Island, they have also left with them.
The vitality on Pearl Island is not abundant and is not suitable for cultivation. The few small spiritual veins that are left are also dug out. A few decades ago, it was a barren land with only seven or eight villages.
It was Zhu Youfu who founded his family with the help of the Beng tribe, integrated seven or eight villages into the earliest Heyuan City, and played a good card with pearls.
From a Heyuan city to today's three main cities, ten acropolis and more than 40 small towns, from a population of only more than a thousand to a crowd of millions, it relies on pearls and a series of side effects it brings.
industry.
Of the millions of people, only a few hundred thousand are permanent residents, and the rest are tourists who come here to buy pearls.
Therefore, the greatest value of Pearl Island lies in commerce and pearls. Once the pearls are lost, the people who gathered because of them will disperse.
She walked into a small town. Pearl Island was once a wealthy place. Even the town's archways were tall and exquisite, and inlaid with many pearls, showing its wealth. People were coming and going on the streets. Now,
But it is deserted, and closed shops can be seen everywhere.
This small town is surrounded by freshwater pearl cultivation areas. However, when Zhu Youfu was preparing to sell the Pearl Island, he took away all the clam pearls in the cultivation areas. In order not to leak the secret recipe of artificially cultivated pearls, even the workers
Don't stay either.
The town is a microcosm of the entire Pearl Island. Without pearls, most of the pearl-related shops have closed down. In addition, the Shanghai people have carved up the inland sea. The number of people coming to Pearl Island has dropped sharply, and more than half of the inns and pubs have closed down.
Because He Minggong and Haizhe had been banned from cultivating, he walked in circles and felt hungry for a long time. Haizhe shouted, "I need to eat, and prisoners must eat."
They happened to pass by an inn that was still open, and Zhan Changfeng took them in. "Tell the waiter what you want to eat."
The shopkeeper kicked the waiter who was still dozing. Seeing his confused look, he walked up to him and stared at Haizhe's mouth and wrists for several times. He became more and more enthusiastic and regarded Zhan Changfeng, who was not breathing, as a man.
Demon, "It turns out to be three lords from the sea. Please have a seat. Please have a seat. Just order whatever you want."
Haizhe glanced at Zhan Changfeng proudly, and suddenly felt the suffocation in his heart was relieved. He pointed at the menu and reported a bunch of names, "If there are any other good wines, please bring them all."
"Okay, you three, please take a seat first."
There were no other guests in the lobby of the inn, so I randomly found a seat to sit down.
He Minggong's eyes were fixed, "The pillars of Pearl Island have fallen down, and everyone has dispersed like hozens. Why did you buy it? Why don't you go back to the land."
Zhan Changfeng said, "Then Zhu Youfu is indeed unique. He said he was buying the island, but he really only kept the island. He didn't forget to collect valuable things when he left. But I don't have any idea about it, Jin Yihou
If I take a fancy to it, I can't let him get his way, which is the same as you fighting for territory everywhere."
She was too magnanimous, as if whether the island was good or bad could not affect her. He Minggong was speechless for a moment, "Then you bought it, you can't ignore it."
"Of course we have to take care of it. At least we have to reopen the route between Pearl Island and the six places." Zhan Changfeng said directly, "I don't object to you charging customs clearance fees. As an inspector, I have to abide by the resolution of the Elders' Meeting.
However, this makes me very embarrassed. If a ship passes through the same lord's waters, it will be charged seven or eight times, and the cost is not in line with my expectations."
This route is on the territory of Jinman Haizhe and He Minggong Chaosheng.
He Minggong understood what she meant, "Although we both belong to the Turtle Master, the territory we conquer is ours. You mainlanders should have heard the saying, my subjects' subjects are not my subjects, mine
The territory of my vassals is naturally not my territory. The agreement stipulates that passing through the sea areas of the four major lords requires a customs fee, but there is no provision. There is no need to pay a customs fee when passing through our territory."
This is actually the relationship between the princes and the Council of Elders. The princes are obliged to send troops for the Council of Elders, but the Council of Elders has no power to interfere in the internal affairs of the princes.
She had not considered the power relations within the Sea Clan before, but she quickly pointed out, "That means that your territory actually does not belong to the lords. The agreement does not stipulate that you have to pay customs fees for territories other than the four major lords.
."
"The sea areas of the four major lords" is a loophole. The lands of the subordinates of the four lords can be included in it, or they can not be included in it.
No matter how he answered, He Minggong couldn't answer it right, but he smiled calmly and said, "Peace is more valuable. How about making friends. From now on, ships from Pearl Island will pass through my territory without any customs fees. How about that?"
"Correction, it's my ship, not Pearl Island's ship."
"That's it." He Minggong didn't ask why, and agreed first. He usually didn't rob merchant ships, and let people go if they handed over some spiritual stones. There was no difference in accepting any less from her, "Yes, then I can do it."
Gone?"
"The visitor is a guest. Fellow Taoist, you don't want to go to the island master's mansion to sit there?"
"To be honest, there is still a struggle between me and that shark. If there is a slight mistake, my territory will be taken away by him. Fellow Taoist, you will not want to waste today's agreement."
"That makes sense." What she did was just the first negotiation. If he regrets it later, he can just arrest him a few more times. "Go slowly."
After his cultivation was restored, He Minggong stopped eating. He glanced at Haizhe, held his fists towards Zhan Changfeng, and turned away.
Haizhe smacked his lips, asking him to give in. It was a good idea, so he ate and drank all the food on the table, put down dozens of empty plates and shouted, "Check out!"
You won’t even pay the customs clearance fee, let’s see if he can defeat you.
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "No need to give it, no need to give it, I will close the door and leave tomorrow, and I can't take away so many ingredients, so just treat them as my treat."
He rubbed his hands and said, "Boy, is it safe at sea now? Which way is better for me to take?"
The shopkeeper also hoped that they could reveal some information and ensure that he could leave safely. He didn't care about the money for the meals.
Zhan Changfeng asked, "I heard that Guidao has changed its owner. Maybe things will get better in the future. Leaving is not necessarily the only way out."
"It's dangerous. You may have just arrived and didn't know that before the Pearl Island was even auctioned, Jin Yihou had already purchased a large number of properties from merchants who had property deeds. It is said that he was just waiting to get the entire Pearl Island to use as a weapon refining site."
"Item Refining Field?"
"Yes, there is an extinct volcano in Qishan Mountain. There have long been rumors that there is a fire underground, but no one knows how to open it, and no one dares to open it. When the volcano wakes up, most of the Pearl Island will turn into a sea of fire. I see that
Marquis Jinyi must have a way to wake it up, so he went around to acquire property deeds, and just waited until the island became his, then emptied the island and detonated the volcano."
Another chapter: Before early in the morning, something happened temporarily. This is the result of not saving the manuscript.
