Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 304 Dismal Prospects
Feihe rushed into a forest on the island, Zhan Changfeng sealed the cultivation of the two demons, and untied the rope, "The words of Chaosheng reminded me that the meeting of elders may not be able to control so far, so we can only follow the enemy and ourselves." It's settled, and now you are prisoners of Pearl Island."

He Minggong cursed Chao Sheng secretly, without any objection on the surface, he silently unsealed the sealed cultivation base, the more he unsealed, the more silent he became, her cultivation base was obviously lower than his own, yet he couldn't untie her seal.

Haizhe rolled his eyes and said nothing, the turtle master would definitely send someone to rescue them.

The two monsters followed Zhan Changfeng, and frightened many wild animals away with their faces. Zhan Changfeng didn't care what their expressions were, and walked down the mountain to the nearby villages, full of old and weak children, with them After talking for a while, I realized that the young and middle-aged people in the village are all making a living in the city. Now that many shops have withdrawn from Pearl Island, they have also left.

The vitality on Pearl Island is not abundant, it is not suitable for cultivation, and the only few small spiritual veins have been dug out, and there are not many left. A few decades ago, it was a barren land with only seven or eight villages.

It was Zhu Youfu who made his fortune with the help of the Bang clan, integrated the seven or eight villages into the earliest Heyuan City, and played a good card with pearls.

From one Heyuan City to today's three main cities, ten acropolises, and more than 40 small towns, from a population of only a thousand to a population of millions, it is thanks to pearls and a series of by-industry.

Out of the millions of people, only a few hundred thousand live there, and the rest come here for sightseeing and to buy pearls.

Therefore, the greatest value of Pearl Island lies in commerce and pearls. Once the pearls are lost, the people gathered because of them will disperse.

She walked into a small town. Pearl Island used to be a wealthy place. Even the archways in the town were tall and exquisite, and many pearls were inlaid to show their wealth and wealth. The streets were full of people. But it is desolate and deserted, and closed shops can be seen everywhere.

There is a freshwater pearl breeding place next to this small town, but when Zhu Youfu was about to sell Pearl Island, he took away all the mussels and pearls in the breeding place, and in order not to disclose the secret recipe of artificial pearl cultivation, even The workers did not stay either.

The town is the epitome of the entire Pearl Island. It has no pearls, and most of the shops related to pearls have closed down. In addition, the Shanghai people have carved up the inner sea, the number of people coming to Pearl Island has dropped sharply, and more than half of the inns and pubs have closed down.

He Minggong and Hai Zhe walked down circles because of his cultivation base, and felt the long-lost hunger. Hai Zhe shouted, "I need to eat, and the captives have to eat."

Just passing by an inn that was still open, Zhan Changfeng took them in, "Tell Xiao Er what you want to eat."

The shopkeeper kicked Xiao Er, who was still dozing off, and seeing him with a dazed face, he greeted him, fixed his eyes on Hai Zhe's wrist several times, became more enthusiastic, and regarded the faint Zhan Changfeng as a Yao, "So it's the three masters of the sea, please sit down, please sit down, order whatever you want."

Haizhe glanced at Zhan Changfeng triumphantly, feeling relieved suddenly, pointed to the menu and reported a bunch of names, "If there are any other good wines, serve them all!"

"Okay, all three please sit down first."

There were no other guests in the lobby of the inn, so he found a seat at random and sat down.

He Minggong's eyes were fixed, "The pillar of Pearl Island has fallen, and everyone has dispersed like a hozen. Why do you still buy it? It's better to go back to the land."

Zhan Changfeng said, "Then Zhu Youfu is indeed a must. He said he bought the island, so he really only left the island. He didn't forget to search for valuable things when he left, but I don't have any thoughts about it, Jin Yihou If I fancy it, I can't make him happy, it's the same as you are fighting for territory everywhere."

She is too magnanimous, as if the island is good or bad, it can't affect her.He Minggong was at a loss for words for a while, "Then you bought it, you can't ignore it, right?"

"Of course we have to take care of it, at least we have to re-open the route between Pearl Island and the land." Zhan Changfeng said directly, "I don't object to you charging customs clearance fees. As an inspector, I must abide by the resolution of the elders' meeting. You make it difficult for me, if a ship passes through the sea area of ​​the same lord, it will be charged seven or eight times, and the cost does not meet my expectations."

This route is on the territory of Jinman, Haizhe, He Minggong and Chaosheng.

He Minggong understood what she meant, "Although we belong to Guishi's subordinates, the territory we have laid is our own. You should have heard a saying in mainland China, the subjects of my subjects are not my subjects, my subjects Naturally, it is not my territory, and the agreement stipulates that passing through the waters of the four major lords requires a customs clearance fee, but there is no regulation, and there is no need to pay customs clearance fees 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 right to interfere in the internal affairs of the princes.

She didn't consider the power relationship within the Sea Clan before, but she quickly pointed out, "That is to say, your territory doesn't actually belong to the lord, and the agreement doesn't stipulate that you have to pay customs clearance fees for territories other than the four lords." .”

"The sea area of ​​the four lords" is a loophole. The territories of the subordinates of the four lords can be included in it, or they can not be included in it.

No matter what answer He Minggong gave, he smiled calmly, "Peace is the most important thing, why don't you make friends, and the ships from Pearl Island will pass through my territory in the future, and there will be no customs fees, how about it?"

"Correct me, it's my ship, not Pearl Island's ship."

"That's it." He Minggong didn't ask why, he agreed first, and then he said, he usually doesn't do the business of robbing merchant ships. have they gone?"

"The visitor is a guest, fellow daoist, don't you want to go to the island lord's mansion?"

"To be honest, there is still a struggle between me and the merman. If there is any mistake, my territory will be taken away by him. You don't want to waste today's agreement, do you?"

"That makes sense." What she did was just the first negotiation, and if he regrets it by then, he can just grab it a few more times, "Go slowly."

When his cultivation level recovered, He Minggong stopped eating, took a look at Haizhe, clasped his fists at Zhan Changfeng, and disappeared.

Haizhe smacked his lips, trying to get him to give in, which was a good idea, so he ate and drank with a table of dishes, and shouted after setting aside dozens of empty plates, "Pay the bill!"

He doesn't even pay customs fees, let's see if he can't beat you.

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hands, "No need to give, no need to give, I will close the door and leave tomorrow, and I can't take away so many ingredients, so just treat it as my invitation to the two of you."

He rubbed his hands, "Both, is the sea safe now? Is it better for me to go that way?"

The shopkeeper also expected them to reveal some information to ensure that he left safely, so he didn't care about the food costs.

Zhan Changfeng asked, "I heard that Guidao has changed its owner, maybe it will get better in the future, and there may not be only one way out."

"It's dangerous. You may not know it when you first came here. Before Pearl Island was auctioned, Jin Yihou had already purchased a large number of property deeds from merchants with property deeds. It is said that he is only waiting to get the entire Pearl Island as a refinery."

"The refinery?"

"Yes, there is an extinct volcano in Mount Qi. There have long been rumors that there is an earth fire below, but no one knows how to break it, and dare not break it. When the volcano wakes up, most of Pearl Island will be in flames. I think that Jin Yihou should have a way to wake it up, so he bought property deeds everywhere, and waited for the island to be his, then drove the island and detonated the volcano."
