The decree encouraged trade with Stone Town as the core, and all grassland traders were protected by the border army and the grassland tribes of Stone Town, and the trade tax in Stone Town was completely exempt and zero taxation was implemented.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar.

When the young marshal's army was stationed at the border pass before, the merchants in Stone Town had the heaviest taxes, and the prices in the city had been high, and the merchants who entered the grassland and the Central Continent countries from the border of Huoluo had been suffering from high taxes, and there have always been legends that the scum in the young marshal's army would pretend to be mountain bandits and choose fat sheep to eat, and the fat sheep in their mouths were those big businessmen who walked back and forth in the border towns.

Unexpectedly, the first decree issued by the new lord of the city in Stone Town was to encourage trade and implement zero taxation, which was something that all the soldiers and civilians did not expect, and the price of vegetables in the city dropped by as much as 30% that day, and countless merchants rejoiced.

Soon, everyone knew that Lord Aman was from the grassland tribe, so this decree was guaranteed by both the border army and the grassland tribe, and more importantly, Her Royal Highness the noble eldest princess was by Lord Aman's side, this signal clearly told everyone that the trust and support of the royal family of the Gongsun of the Fire Kingdom to Lord Aman, and also ensured the credibility of this decree.

As for the 50,000 border troops, they also have no opinion, because the salaries of the border army are all issued by the court of the Huoluo Kingdom, and they can't starve them, and the border trade has developed.

For a time, the entire border cities and towns were disturbed by this decree from Stone Town. Bold businessmen sniffed a huge business opportunity. They flocked to Stone Town, confirmed this fact, and then spread the news further afield.

In less than a week. The price of land in Stone Town has skyrocketed three times, and it is clear that he has only experienced the flames of war of the demon army, but the entire city exudes a thriving force, and every aboriginal of Stone Town, especially those who have experienced the great war, walk with their heads held high, and their eyes are full of pride. The spirit is very strong.

And those merchants who come here can easily see the pride and spiritual strength that belongs to the city from these peddlers and pawns. Naturally, I was full of confidence in the decree issued by the castle keeper.

On the eighth day, the news came back, the vanguard of the demon army. It has retreated into the steppe. The follow-up forces are still on the way, and it seems that the threat to Stone Town is getting lower and lower.

The first support army in the country of Huoluo finally appeared outside Stone City, and these soldiers who came from afar felt very unbelievable at the vibrant city in front of them, and almost thought that they were in the wrong place.

However, after seeing the eldest princess Gongsun Zhiqing and several palace worshippers guarding her side, the general who brought troops to help happily handed over the command, left most of the soldiers and horses in Stone City, and returned to the garrison with the guards and a small number of men.

So. Stone City is garrisoned by 100,000 elite troops, and there are also the powerful city guards Lord Aman and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. It seems to have become the second capital city north of the country of Huoluo.

Those old worshippers in the palace, although they desperately rushed to the rescue, but they still did not catch up with the battle, but saw the lively scene of Stone Town, and for a while, they were very quiet, and they all stayed under the pretext of protecting the eldest princess, which just added a few real high-end combat forces to Stone Town.

On the ninth day, the Huoluo **** envoy sent back a news that shocked the world, the demon army was divided into twelve routes, and invaded the Central Continent in a big way, and four countries were invaded by the demons at the same time, and for a time, the world was in chaos.

On the tenth day, news came that another demon army invaded the country of Huoluo from the northwest, and the young marshal Yang Guangzhen took the young marshal's army to join the demons, set up an ambush and booby-trapped Nu Shuai, and broke through the southwest defense line.

Soon, within three days, four messengers came to Stone Town, carrying letters from the castle guards of the four great cities in the border town, asking to see Lord Zhongyi Bo Aman.

On the second day, Stone Town posted a notice, Qingzhou, Suiyang, Longgang, Danzhu and Stone Town reached a business alliance, signed a defensive united front, and the four cities with Stone Town as the core, established the Northwest United Front.

As soon as this news came out, the discerning people immediately saw the momentum, and the Lord of the Fourth Roadside Army, who was sitting in Stone Town, had successfully replaced the traitorous young marshal army and became the largest force in the northwest border town.

Under the strong impact of the demons, all the cities in the northwest border towns were in panic, after all, there was still an army of demons with a number of nearly 400,000 on the grassland, in order to protect themselves, they had no choice, only to rely on the powerful Lord Zhongyi Bo Aman, only to have a chance of surviving.

In the entire northwest of the Fire Luo Kingdom, and even in the Middle Continent countries, there is only one stone city, which has successfully resisted the iron hooves of the demon army, and in this case, the other cities have no choice but to take refuge.

Moreover, it is said that the loyal and righteous Bo Aman was born in the grassland tribe, and in the season of the current fierce war, the grassland people are undoubtedly a force that cannot be ignored.

The people of Zhongzhou, who had always had a sense of superiority, would not be so cowardly, but when the God Summoning Technique, which they were proud of, was beaten to pieces in front of the demons equipped with new technology, they finally realized that the times had changed!

The Stone Town, where Ling Qingfeng was located, had become a bright light in the dark night sky, although it had not yet shone brightly, it was already a little dazzling.

The four cities of Qingzhou, Suiyang, Longgang, and Danzhu, on the surface, were tied to Stone City in the name of the business alliance, but in fact, they had already handed over letters of surrender to Ling Qingfeng, willing to belong to Zhongyibo, and with the strength of these four cities, coupled with the strength of the grassland tribes, Ling Qingfeng had deservedly become the largest warlord leader on the northwest border.

The streets are full of cars and horses, pedestrians come and go, prosperous like brocade, like cooking oil on fire, and rich and enviable.

Bands of steppe people poured into Stone Town, bringing not only magical spore plants, but also many new objects that the people of the Fire Luo Kingdom had never seen before.

After the promulgation of the trade decree, a large number of grasslands came under the jurisdiction of Zhongyibo, and although the habits of life and clothing were very different, the people of Zhongzhou showed a far more tolerant level than normal.

Because everyone realizes that at this critical moment, one more person in the city will have more strength, and no one knows when the demon army will come again, not to mention, even the supreme leader in the city, Lord Aman, is a grassland person, who dares to complain?

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Qingfeng was closing his eyes and cultivating under the plum tree, when suddenly his heart moved slightly and he opened his eyes. "Lao Ren, follow me to the city gate to pick up people!" Ling Qingfeng said casually.

Ren Junxing has been following Lord Aman for the past few days, he is not far from Meng, Meng is not out of focus, he is inseparable every day, and when he heard the call of the adult, he hurriedly followed. "Lord Aman, who is here? Is it worth it for the two of us to pick it up in person? Ren Junxing said with a big grin.

Ling Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Prairie King! “

After that, the two of them walked all the way to the gate of the city.

As soon as the soldiers defending the city saw that the city lord had arrived, they hurriedly saluted respectfully with their swords.

At this salute, the ordinary people who entered and exited from the city gate recognized the identities of the two, and they all blew up. "Hello Lord of the City!" "The lord of the city is so handsome!" "The lord of the castle is so majestic! Terrific! "The lord of the castle will live a long life, long live, long live, long live!"

For a while, the common people greeted Ling Qingfeng with all their mouths, and each of them was full of excitement and excitement on their faces, and they were grateful and virtuous to Ling Qingfeng, the city lord who saved the people from fire and water, and they really loved him from the bottom of their hearts, treating him as if they were their own family. "Good! Good! You're busy! I'm going to do something, please get out of the way, get out of the way! Ling Qingfeng had no choice but to smile and wave to the people.

The common people are simple and lovely, and as soon as they heard that the beloved city lord had something to do, they immediately let go of a passage and went straight to the outside of the city gate.

At this time, a grass caravan happened to come in outside the city gate, and as soon as the man who was beating the horse saw Ling Qingfeng, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and greeted him while shouting Lord Aman.

Ling Qingfeng smiled and hugged the person who came, that is, Uncle Gu Zhan.

Then, several people jumped out of the caravan, and they all surrounded them with smiles on their faces.

Blue Emperor, Willow Maniac, Bai Wuji, Gao Tianliang, and the four heavenly kings of the police academy of the earth world have all arrived.

Seeing the old man, Ling Qingfeng was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't care about the so-called image of the city lord at all, but like a child, he rushed forward and hugged his brothers fiercely.

When the people of Stone Town around saw this scene, they all showed kind smiles.

Compared with a scheming city lord who has a city government in his heart, the young man in front of him seems to be easier to trust. "Old patriarch, is his old man here?" Ling Qingfeng and the Blue Emperor asked in a low voice after making out with them.

Bai Wujian nodded and said, "The old man is here, but it's not convenient to meet you here, so let's settle down first." We brought a large number of supplies from there this time, and it is best to find someone reliable to carry them. “

Ling Qingfeng understood, nodded, straightened up, and exhaled: "Fathers and fellow villagers of Stone Town, the grassland tribe has sent a batch of military supplies to help us defend the city, and now there is a lack of manpower to move things, how much is the price in our city?" I'm out three times! If you want to come! “

Before the words fell, countless voices rang out inside and outside the city gates. (To be continued.) )
