Sylvia Hale and her battle maid stopped outside the drawing room door, patiently waiting for the new lord to receive them.

At this moment, from behind them, there was another crisp sound of hurried footsteps. Sylvia looked back and was surprised to see Mantha walking briskly.

Mansha stepped forward, took the initiative to give a salute, and said with a light smile: "Just now, I was summoned by the lord, so I hurried over. ”

Sylvia nodded: "It must not be a coincidence, it should have something to do with me......."

Jane, the senior maid who had gone to pay her respects, hurried back and informed them that the master and servant could enter the house.

Sylvia smiled at Mansa and stepped through the door first. Mansha was still waiting for Yunlang's summons, and did not enter the door directly.

"My lord, my lord has already said that when you arrive, you can go directly to the door without asking for instructions. Jian immediately stepped forward to remind.

"Thank you. Mansa said and stepped through the door.

After the three of them entered, Jane gently closed the door to the living room.

Yun Lang, who was sitting at the head, saw Sylvia and her battle maid arrive, so he left his seat and got up to greet him.

After a little greeting, Yun Lang smiled and quipped, "This time, the baron is finally a little faster than I expected." ”

Sylvia was slightly embarrassed and explained, "My lord, I also just arrived here, and I happened to meet my friend Emily, who I haven't seen for many years, so I took the opportunity to pay a visit. I thought that I met the lord there, and there were some small misunderstandings. If there was any rudeness, allow me to apologize again!"

"It's okay! A slap in the face doesn't make a sound, and in order for things to progress, both sides must have the will to do so. The more fully considered each is, it is easier to think clearly. ”

After the two sat opposite each other, Yun Lang said to Mansha on the side: "You've been busy for a day, just find a place to sit down!"

Mansha couldn't refuse, so she sat down on Yunlang's right hand...... On the left side of the cloud wave, Vivien was standing.

After that, the refreshments and fruits were put on the table one by one, and Yunlang received Sylvia more formally.

The two chatted a few words, and after the atmosphere eased slightly, Yun Lang took the initiative to return to the topic: "Baron, on the way here, I met the captain of your Hall family's guard, and I implore him to summon the message on my behalf. I wonder if the Baron has received it truthfully?"

"Hehe, he's already relayed it all to me, so there shouldn't be anything missing. Sylvia replied with a faint smile.

"In that case, what is the Baron's plan?" Yun Lang asked directly.

Speaking of business, Sylvia also quickly put away her distractions and responded with all her attention: "First of all, please allow me to confirm the corresponding content. ”

Yun Lang nodded before she continued, "You...... I want to open a safe passage to Corrant City from the direction of the Twilight Forest, it should be this thing!"

"If it is simply summarized, this is probably the case!" Yun Lang leaned back and changed to a comfortable sitting position.

"Could it be....... Anything else?" she asked, rather cautiously.

"It's not easy to get a safe road out of the twilight forest. There are many steps involved, such as whether you are willing to give moral support, financial support, or further human support....... Wait, as long as you don't object, and you don't deliberately add obstacles to me, we can have a discussion. ”

When Sylvia heard this, her heart suddenly tightened.......

She thought that the young lord might have had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly came up with this unrealistic idea, and then wanted to try to do it. If it can be done, it will be a great achievement, and even if it doesn't, he won't have much to lose.

From this point of view, she will inevitably lower her expectations for the young lord as much as possible.

However, when she heard the extent of Yunlang's subdivision and cooperation, she realized that this young lord was probably not a sudden "flash of inspiration", but had already been carefully thought out and had a practical plan.

In this way, she has to be even more careful!

"I....... Want to know, what do we Hale get?" she asked in a deep voice.

"If it's just a nominal support, I will also nominally express my gratitude, in the future, when the safe road is opened, your Hall family will have to pay the fee according to the rules when using this passage, if it is financial or financial support, you can use this passage for a very low fee, or even for free, if your Hall family supports ....... with all their might."

"That'...... What will happen?" asked Sylvia, a little frightened.

"At that time, all the proceeds from that safe passage will always be a share of your Hall family! Baron, no matter how big the mine is, there will be a day when it will be hollowed out, and as long as the road remains, there will always be a profit. Yun Lang said, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

He was also a little nervous about discussing such a thing, but it was better to cover it up!

Sylvia was shocked, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and thought for a while before saying, "I still don't understand....... How much support does our Hall family offer to have a free trial? Or, how much do you have to pay to share a share of it?"

"Doing this well is divided into several steps. The first step is to build a wide road paved with gravel from here to reach Huya Pass. On top of this, the construction of other turn-offs continued until the vast majority of villages in the territory were extended. In this way, even if the whole territory is integrated, I can better concentrate my forces and accomplish that goal. Therefore, I need you to provide some stone and stonemasonry, and the more you give, the more you will get in the future......."

"It's ....... This is impossible!" Sylvia stood up in shock: "With the ability of our Hall family, even if we throw it all in, it is far from enough. ”

Yun Lang smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, listen to me first, and then make a judgment." ”

Sylvia tried to calm down and sat down slowly.

"It's completely impossible for you Hall family alone, but if you exhaust all the manpower and material resources of Shining Gold Town, at least half a year, or at most a year, this road will begin to take shape. ”

Sylvia's eyes were cold, and she was a little dissatisfied: "Lord Lord, building this road will cost a lot of money, for your purposes, those who don't have enough to eat will have no hope of living!"

"No, no, no......." Yun Lang shook his head with a smile: "When the main road is built, I will temporarily recruit some of the people and give them relatively generous rewards, which is enough for them to spend this time without worrying about food and clothing." ”

“........ If that's the case, then where did you get all this money?" asked Sylvia.

"According to the Imperial Code, I, the new lord, can not pay any taxes in my domain to the emperor for two years. In these two years, I can minimize the taxes in the territory and make the people feel better, but even so, there should be a surplus. Merging some levels appropriately to create larger levels can save a lot of money. If, with the support of your Hall family, you can collect stone nearby, and you assist in processing and building roads, not only will the construction be faster, but you will also save some ........"

Sylvia listened intently, pondering.......

It was discovered that the idea of this young lord was not impossible to implement. If she did it with all her might, she might be able to achieve her goal.

However, she thought of another question, that is, what did the young lord want to spend so much effort?

"Lord Lord, please forgive me for saying that if you lower your taxes appropriately, those garrisons may not be willing to carry it out truthfully, and it is foreseeable that they will definitely intensify it in private. In addition, merging levels is even more difficult, and those garrison officers who have taken root will definitely not easily agree, and if they are not careful, they will fight against you together. In the end, we at the Hall family are doing our best to help you build this road, it seems....... It's not profitable!" Sylvia analyzed comprehensively.

She didn't directly object, and Yun Lang was already very satisfied....... At least there is a possibility of talking!

"Baron, if I can eliminate the potential threat posed by those garrisons once and for all, you will lead your Hall family and give me my full support in this endeavor. I don't know, do you have the courage to make this agreement with me!" Yun Romantic asked casually.

Sylvia thought twice and nodded slowly: "If even those garrisons are not your opponents after they unite, then our Hall family can only obediently obey your will!"

"Haha, don't answer so reluctantly, you will be sincerely proud of this decision in the future!" Yun Lang raised the teacup and made a gesture of please,

Sylvia responded with a teacup and drank it down.
