The Age of Global City-States: I Can Increase a Thousand Times

Chapter 299 Harsh Conditions

The next day, when Wang Yu held a banquet in honor of Su Fan again, Wang Keshi and Wang Mang refused to be there no matter what they said.Excuse me for various reasons.

There was no drink for lunch. After the banquet, Su Fan felt a little full, so he walked to the window of the banquet living room, ready to breathe the fresh air outside.

Corresponding to this window, you can just see the martial arts arena in the main city. At this time, the soldiers are undergoing drills by a guard. At the same time, you can see the equipment workshop on the other side of the martial arts arena.

In this matter, smoke billowed from the equipment workshop, as if work was in progress.Moreover, there are soldiers constantly, who will push out huge siege tools from the tool workshop.

When Su Fan stood by the window for a while, he saw at least three siege equipment being pushed out of the equipment workshop.

At this moment, Wang Yu saw Su Fan standing by the window, and asked with a smile, "Brother Su Fan, what are you standing there looking at?"

Su Fan came back to his senses, and responded: "No, I'm a bit full of food, so I just stand here and take a look. Patriarch Wang, I see that you have built a lot of siege equipment, and the troops are also practicing, don't tell me? Say there will be a war in the near future?"

Wang Yu responded with a smile: "Where is there any war, it's just that other cities have less equipment, so we built more in case of emergencies. Training soldiers has always been a habit of ours, and it never stops throughout the year."

"Oh? I said that the soldiers of the royal patriarch all look very capable. It turns out that it is because of the strictness of the patriarch."

"Hey, little brother is too famous. I heard from Lao Li that the troops you brought this time are all seventh-level units. Let me ask you, little brother, the current city has reached level seven?"

Su Fan nodded, "Yes, but it's just been promoted to the seventh level. The total time is less than a month."

Although Wang Yu was already mentally prepared when Li Xingfeng said it, he still couldn't help being surprised when he heard Su Fan's answer.

Wang Mang, who is the same age as Su Fan, entered the mainland together. With the support of his family, he was steadily upgraded to the fifth-level city. According to Su Fan's rumors, he had no family and no power, so he reached the level by himself. this level.

Wang Yu looked at Su Fan with a squinting smile, thinking in his heart that this kid must have an unknown talent, otherwise how could he have upgraded the city to level seven in such a short time.

But this question is definitely not easy to ask.But no matter what, the young man brought by Li Xingfeng can be said to be very outstanding, and his future is boundless.

After the luncheon, everyone rested for a while, and then came to the meeting hall in the castle together.At the beginning, everyone just chatted about some issues about city construction and communicated with each other.

It was also from this conversation that Wang Yu took a closer look at Su Fangao. No matter what kind of topic they were talking about, Su Fan could pick up on it.

Moreover, for many opinions on city construction, what Su Fan said was something they had never heard of. Thinking about it carefully, even Li Xingfeng felt that he could learn a lot from Su Fan.

Wang Yu sighed in his heart. Although his dog's talent is not bad, compared with the young man in front of him, he is simply far worse. With a lot.

Later, seeing that the topic was almost covered, Su Fan brought up the matter of joining the alliance again.

"Patriarch Wang, you see that I have been here for two days. You also know the purpose of my trip, various conditions and benefits. I believe you understand. I want to know, what do you think? Or say What else is there to worry about?"

Wang Yu took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "I have seen the sincerity of your alliance. As for the conditions, little brother, you should know that other alliances are also recruiting us."

Su Fan nodded, "I know, Patriarch Royal, but if the conditions are right, I can discuss it with our leader."

"Okay, little brother, let me be straightforward. I have only one request, and that is the supply of resources, which can be doubled every month."

Hearing this, Su Fan was a little hesitant. To say that the conditions and benefits given are already very generous. The five families have to provide a total of 1000 million of various resources every month, and the copper coins are as high as 2000 million.

This price can be said to be too high. The former alliance benefits of the five families are more than double their current treatment.

Now that Wang Yu proposed to double the resources, this condition is obviously very harsh, and for Su Fan, he can't directly make the decision.

In fact, the income of an alliance is still very considerable. For an alliance of 1 people, the average monthly tribute resources are 20000, and copper coins can even reach 50000.

Of course, what is mentioned here is the average, because the higher the main city is, the more resources it needs to supply every month.

Including the fifth-level cities and below, at most they can only be blessed by the alliance. Only when they reach the sixth-level main city can they enjoy the benefits distributed by the alliance every month.

Similarly, the higher the main city, the higher the benefits it can enjoy.For a seventh-level city like Wang Yu, Ben enjoys the same treatment as Su Fan, with 50 resources and 200 million copper coins every month.

However, in order to be able to recruit the five major families to join, it can be said that the alliance treats all of them with the treatment of an eighth-level city.It stands to reason that the conditions offered by the alliance are already very high.

As far as the current alliance is concerned, the monthly income and various resources add up to only 2 million, and 5 million copper coins.It can be said that these families can provide such resources, which is very much.

Moreover, the sanctuary alliance is different from other alliances, and this kind of income can be said to be very low compared to other alliances.

Like most alliances, the exploitation of low-level city owners is very serious. Want to get resources for the main city of less than seventh level?It's something you don't even think about.

In order to keep these low-level city lords in the alliance, the patriarchs in the alliance were forced to let the cities under their hands to plunder other people's cities, and even deploy aid from the alliance.

After the invasion of the city, most of the resources can be collected by the invader, as long as a very small part is handed over to the alliance.

Therefore, this has led to many alliances on the mainland, all of which are developing a model such as the Moon Invitation Alliance, and are respected by many city lords.

Su Fan had no choice but to answer, so he could only say, "Patriarch Wang, this condition seems a little difficult. I have no right to make decisions. I need to ask our leader to answer."

Chapter Three Hundred

The answer given by Su Fan seemed to be expected by Wang Yu. He didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, nor did he show any signs of anxiety. He said that he would give the Sanctuary Alliance enough time to think about it.

During this period, Li Xingfeng didn't say a word. Although he said he wanted to join the alliance, as the head of the clan, he couldn't just think about friendship, he also had to consider the interests of the family.

As for the conditions Wang Yu said, even though they were a bit harsh, they were still striving for more benefits for the family, so Su Fan was not surprised by Li Xingfeng's silence.

After returning to the residence, Su Fan told Murong Bai the content of the conversation.Just as Su Fan expected, although the alliance is indeed willing to recruit five families, the conditions are too high.

Murong Bai did not agree, and the maximum concession was that each family would give 100 million more resources and 5 million copper coins.This condition can be said to be completely higher than the treatment of the eighth-level city.

Even if you look at the entire continent, this condition can be said to be quite generous.

There was no other way, Su Fan could only take this reply and approach Wang Yu again. It was conceivable that the Wang family was not satisfied with the conditions offered by Su Fan's alliance.

As a result of the final negotiation, Wang Yu made a concession, but the resources should be increased to at least 300 million resources and 800 million copper coins on the original basis.

During the peace talks this time, Wang Keshi was also involved.Su Fan could even see that he tried his best to hide his smile. Watching himself deflated was the thing they were most happy to see.

"City Master, if you continue to struggle with this point, I'm afraid you'll have to stay for another ten days without any results. Why don't we try another family?" Liu Bowen said to Su Fan in the bedroom.

Su Fan pondered for a while, "Yeah, that guy Wang Yu looks approachable, but in fact he has deep thoughts. It may not be easy to get him to make concessions. It seems that we can only see other people family."

That afternoon, Su Fan went to find Li Xingfeng and told him his thoughts.Li Xingfeng is very neutral, and what he has always been adhering to is just following the masses.

Therefore, he directly agreed to Su Fan's request, and let him lead the way, and then went to the Hao family, which was about the same strength as them among the five families, to negotiate.

Before that, Li Xingfeng had explained to Su Fan that the conditions would be even more difficult to negotiate when he arrived at the Hao family. He had gone to the three alliances before but returned without success.

It's all because of the patriarch of the Hao family, his temper can be said to be stinky and hard, as long as he thinks it's wrong, he can't do it even if he speaks out.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Su Fan has also thought about changing the family, starting with the Bai family or the Yuwen family.

But Li Xingfeng's answer was that the situation of the Bai family might be more complicated. Their patriarch didn't agree with joining the alliance at all, so talking to him would undoubtedly hit a snag.

Speaking of the Yuwen family, as the most powerful family among the five major families.The entire family thinks highly of themselves, and the patriarch's temper is even worse than that of the Hao clan's patriarch.

The most important thing is that the few families who went to negotiate before couldn't help but fail to agree.There was even a representative of the alliance who said something wrong and offended the patriarch of the Yuwen family, and was directly kicked out of the Yuwen family's gate.

According to the current situation, the only ones who are relatively easy to talk and a little easier are the Hao family.

So, under the contact of Li Xingfeng, the Hao family agreed to the meeting request with Su Fan.This part is still very happy, after all, the Hao family is just the patriarch with a weird temper, and it is not against joining the alliance.

In this way, in the early morning of the next day, Su Fan and others and Li Xingfeng bid farewell to Wang Yu and prepared to go to Hao's house for a discussion.

Looking at the back of Su Fan and others leaving, Wang Mang sneered, "Brother, I think they will definitely encounter some bad luck when they go to Hao's house this time."

"Hmph, for sure. With Uncle Hao's character, how can Su Fan make sense with just a few sweet words? By the way, brother, we should also do our own thing."

The two looked at each other, almost showing smirks together
The Hao family's distance was not too short, and it was in the afternoon that Su Fan saw the Hao family's city.In contrast, the Hao family has more cities than the Li family and the Wang family.

Li Xingfeng also gave an explanation for this. Although the strength of the Hao family is similar to theirs, they are prosperous. There are nearly 50 members in the entire family, and there are 9 city lords who established the city.

But what Su Fan saw now was the scene of 12 cities connected together.There are at least 4 cities among them, which have reached the level of sixth-level cities.

It can be said that the attitude of the Hao family did not seem to be friendly. Su Fan and the others had already arrived at the base of the city, and no one came out to greet them. Even after the guard informed, only a housekeeper came out to greet them.

Seeing these actions, Su Fan thought to himself, it seemed that the other party didn't take him seriously at all. In this case, he didn't have to show a humble look.

It wasn't until they reached the gate of the inner city that a member of the Hao family came out to greet him.It looked like he was about the same age as Su Fan.

"Grandpa Li hasn't seen you for a long time. Uncle asked me to go out to meet you and take you to the living room."

"Xiaoyue, where's Lao Hao? Why don't you see him?"

"Uncle is in the arsenal. He is upgrading his equipment. Let you wait for him in the meeting hall first. He will come over in a while."

Hearing this, Su Fan felt a little upset, so it's fine if he doesn't welcome him.Coming all the way, without arranging a meal, he just hung it in the meeting hall when he came up. The head of the Hao family is too ostentatious.

But of course Su Fan didn't show it. He smiled and nodded at the young man in front of him, and followed his lead, followed Li Xingfeng into the inner city.

After many twists and turns, this person finally brought Su Fan and others into the conference hall. After ordering the attendants to arrange the tea, he left with an excuse, leaving only Su Fan and a few attendants in the hall .

After waiting for more than half an hour, even Li Xingfeng became a little impatient. Just as he was about to get up and yell, he saw a middle-aged man walking in the door, accompanied by two young people.

These two young people are a man and a woman.When Su Fan looked this way, he stood up straight away, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, what a fucking coincidence to open the door for Qiao, coincidence came home.
