Chapter 153 Cooperation and Protection Fees
Three lumberyards could be built on the island, as well as a mine cave and a small crystal cave, but this was only a small income.
The island was named 'Jingqi Island' by Yuan Mu, and he believed that it would soon be moored with ships flying the flags of various cities.
Yuan Mu would transport the timber and forest specialties of Forest City purchased in the City of Flowers to Jingqi Island by transport ship, where he would trade with visiting ship personnel. They will also use large ships to transport timber out of the underwater forest, and take the initiative to trade in other maritime cities.
Yuan Mu waited on the island for a day, vine? The Guardian of the East returned to the island.
"Leo said you are a good lord, I can trust you." As soon as this huge sea beast returned, it helped Yuan Mu complete part of the task of cleaning up the water vines and algae.
Yuan Mu smiled and said, "Then we can discuss cooperation." ”
"I can help you clear a route, and I will protect this route, but I want 30% of the revenue on this route." Rattan? The Oriental Guardian directly opened his mouth.
Yuan Mu frowned and said, "Teng, that's not good, what I offer is not only an idea and the establishment of this city, but also the fleet, the dock to be built, craftsmen, city dwellers, and the resources invested in this route, etc. ”
"I can tell you about some of the resource spots and wild buildings nearby."
Yuan Mu chuckled: "I don't have so many aquarium creatures to exploit these resources now. And, believe me, you can get a lot more from a route than you can get from a few resource points. ”
"Hmph, you have to know that if I don't agree, you don't even think about this sea and land trade route. But if you say yes, I'll bless the city, which will have some special features. ”
The tail of the huge sea beast also slapped vigorously in the sea, and the sea water slapped violently on the shore.
Yuan Mu looked at it unexpectedly, he didn't expect it to coerce and lure.
After thinking about it seriously, he still shook his head and said: "Teng, the route is not only the section of the undersea forest, but also the ocean cities outside the undersea forest also need me to contact and use the fleet to fight pirates." You may not know that there is a war going on in the seas beyond the undersea forest, and I need to help dominate the situation. ”
"That's something you need to fix, but you can't give me less."
"If this area is integrated by red-haired pirates or another force, our shipping revenue will be greatly reduced. And if we lose this opportunity, we will be suppressed by them, and the fleet may not be able to develop in the future. I have so many things to do, it's too much for you to divide into three. ”
Yuan Mu disagrees, vine? The Oriental Guardian did not give in, and one person and one sea beast stared at each other.
After a stalemate for a while, Yuan Mu said, "Why don't you tell me what you need these resources for first?" I might be able to solve it for you by other means. ”
Yuan Mu felt that this sea beast would bite to death and not let go, it should be something to do with these resources.
Rattan? The Eastern Guardian thought for a moment: "It's nothing to tell you, there are a few low-level cities in the south of the undersea forest, they are developing very slowly, and these resources are for these cities." ”
"With your help, are these cities also developing very slowly?"
"I can't conjure up resources, and I've only recently started taking care of them. These cities have very few residents, their strength is too weak, and the highest is only level 1, so they can only explore around the city, and they can't get much resources at all. And when several cities are together, resources are even more strained. ”
Yuan Mu took the opportunity to ask, "I found an abandoned village on this island, do you know?" ”
"Of course I do." Rattan? The Eastern Guardian said angrily, "An alien ship plundered them, and I found out and sank the ship. Then I brought the rest of the inhabitants to the south, and I moved many of the inhabitants of those cities to develop with them. ”
It turned out that this was the case, and Yuan Mu asked, "Have you been active in the southern part of the undersea forest?" ”
"Well, but I do occasionally go north to see. Further south of the undersea forest, there is a large reef chaotic undead area, from which many aquatic undead creatures will come to the undersea forest, and I heard about the undead city there. How's that, have you thought about it? "Vine? The Eastern Guardian was getting impatient.
"Don't worry, how can negotiations be so fast."
Yuan Mu teased, seeing that it was about to get angry, and proposed: "I won't give up so much of the benefits of this route, I will give you at most one percent, and this one percent is also a lot." And my territory can help those cities in other ways. ”
"I'll provide them with some ships that they can trade with." The imminent war at sea will have a lot of captives and wandering inhabitants, and these cities can absorb some of them. Also, I might be able to help you find out what is going on in the undead to the south. ”
Rattan? Dongfang Guardian took two heavy breaths, it had no concept of internal affairs, but seeing that Yuan Mu was unwilling to give in, he couldn't think of any good way. can only say: "One achievement is one percent, but you have to provide more high-level ships, and if the harvest is not satisfactory to me, I will increase the price." ”
It goes straight to the point, and first says that it needs to be satisfied with what it has gained. Yuan Mu was relieved, such a creature is easy to deal with, as long as it meets its requirements, it will not turn its face.
"I'll slowly offer ships to those cities, and I can't take out a lot at once. If you're willing to help me win this war, I'll give you half of the benefits. ”
"I am the guardian of the Ancestral Forest, and I can't just leave the Ancestral Forest." The giant sea beast had some regrets, and it also wanted to go out and have a look. The Undersea Forest is part of the Ancestral Forest, but the Undersea Forest is much less interesting than the land part of the Ancestral Forest.
"That's a pity, let's start cleaning up the route now. By the way, there's a way to get in to the north, and there's going to be a pirate ship coming in soon, so go and seal that road. Also, the mermaid flag is my ship, and there are some undead among my men, so don't attack them. ”
"I hate the undead." Rattan? The Guardian of the East muttered two sentences, loud but did not refuse.
Yuan Mu let it do so many things, and it was not unhappy. Usually it wanders the underwater forest, destroying the undead creatures from the south while taking care of those natural cities, and it is already a little tired of it.
After discussing with Yuan Mu the specific requirements for going down the channel, the huge sea beast dived directly into the water and headed for the mouth of the Crystal River, with some of Flora's water tribe troops following behind it.
With vine? The Oriental Guardian reached a cooperation, Yuan Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and took Flo to bury the heart of the natural city on the southern coast of the island.
