The city lord of Jinyang City, named Feng Bound, is a strong man of the Descriptive Clan who only has the strength of the Quasi-Heaven Rank.

This strength, except for Tianhua Domain, if it is placed in another place, it is estimated that the thief leader will be killed in seconds. But among the dozens of nearby cities, his strength can be said to be in the top five. In the Tianhua Domain, the closer they are to the official battle zone, the stronger the city lord and the country lord are, and the city lords who are not directly involved in the war on the second and third lines on the periphery are mostly below the heavenly level, and a few even only have the sixth level of the earth level.

Feng Jian, he was not the city lord of Jinyang City.

He was an adventurer who came to Tianhua Domain to cultivate, because the former city lord of Jinyang City died in battle, and the captain and housekeeper who took over were killed in battle, and there was really no one who could take on the role of city lord, so he took the initiative to take over Jinyang City.

Adventurers like him who succeeded to the city lord were not uncommon in the Tianhua Domain.

Although the strength and qualifications of the city lords on the periphery of the Tianhua Domain are not high, there are still a few city lord positions that are vacant, and no one is willing to take over those messes. For example, there is a Yotei City not far from Jinyang City, because of the lack of minerals, barren land, and natural and man-made disasters, those civilians who have been levied heavy taxes are all in a state of starvation, so no one wants to take over there, and can only be managed by a small team of garrisons sent by the lord of the country in charge to barely maintain law and order. If it is a large business group outside, sending a representative to serve as the city lord is more popular in Tianhua Domain, and the strength is not valued, but it must complete the combat preparation tasks assigned above. Other than that, the upper ones did not interfere with any of the actions of the city lords below at all.

It can be said that places like Jinyang City and Yotei City, which are both on the periphery and lack special products and have low incomes, have long been forgotten by the above choices.

"Where did you make me grow so much grain? I can't help it!" Feng Jian was angrily yelling at his butler Shatong at this moment: "It's not that I don't want to take care of those civilians, it's that there is no way at all!" The last seeds have been handed over to them to plant, how do I know that those seeds were fried by profiteers, I don't know" I don't know anything about agriculture or breeding, I used to be just a mercenary who fed the whole family by myself......... I didn't want to be a city lord here, but the chaos here was really unsightly, "I just want to make some contribution to Wormwood's hometown!" You now let me turn up food greed and seeds, do you think I'm a god? You know how much money I have in my vault, and the last funds have been handed over to the profiteers to buy those damn seeds, and now the seeds are fried by the profiteers and can't sprout, "Can you blame me for this? You can do whatever you like, I've had enough!"

"My lord, if there is no food greed, I dare to say that within a month at the latest, half of the people in Jinyang City will be killed!" The butler Sha Tong had a bitter face, of course he knew the difficulties of the city lord, but what else could he do but stretch out his hand to him? After all, Feng Jian was the city lord, and he was the strongest person!

"I don't know what to do!" Feng Jian roared: "I myself have been thrifty and greedy, and I have been armed for three months, and I have not eaten a full meal in the past three months, so the city lord of such a nest has no way to continue to work." You have another city lord, "Whoever likes to do it, I really don't have the ability to feed hundreds of thousands of people!"

"This ...... ,..." the butler Sathorn sighed.

He knew how difficult it was to be fed, because he didn't have the ability to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

The extreme shortage of food is not a problem in one place in Jinyang City, but a problem in the whole of today's Huayu. Except for some rich places in the Tianhua Domain, other places are poor and white.

The war has left too many laboring strong men on the battlefield, and now most of the people left in the peripheral areas are the old, weak, women and children. In addition to the necessary garrisons and the seriously injured and disabled, "any adult, regardless of gender, regardless of race, as long as he has a certain combat effectiveness, will be transferred to the military camp in the combat area for intensive training, and then sent to the battlefield to fight the battle of the domain emperor that will not be over."

The greed for grain is almost over, and if there are no seeds, no crops, it means that the next harvest will be zero.

In about a month, all the grass bark and livestock will be eaten, and in the end, hundreds of thousands of hungry people with green eyes will enter the same tragedy as those in the hardest-hit areas of Yotei City.

Easy to be a son and greedy......

That kind of miserable situation, Sathorn did not see it once.

Could it be that Jinyang City is also going to become a dead place full of bones and corpses?

"Great lord, there is good news, there is good news!" Ouba, the poorest grain merchant in the world, rushed in with a red face and knocked Shatong, a thinly armed butler, to the ground.

"Oba, the merchant is here, miracle, and there are still merchants willing to come to a poor area like ours?" asked Sathorn, who didn't have time to get up, and grabbed Oba's leg directly.

"Where is the merchant?" Feng Jian also welcomed it, but after asking this sentence, he showed a bitter face: "We have no money." ”

"They don't want money, they don't want money!" Oba shook his head and waved his hand.

"Are there any businessmen in the world who don't want money?" Feng Jian 100 don't believe that if businessmen don't love money, then sows all over the world will climb trees!

"Yes, that's right, they don't want us a gold coin, no, they don't want magic crystals, to be honest, our low-quality magic crystals are given away for free, and no one will want them...... You can't imagine what kind of merchant group came to us, fifty ships of grain, and ten ships full of fine wine. My God, if those goods could enter the war zone, I dare say, even the lords of the kingdom would be beaten to the bridle...... I'm done, yes, yes, back to the deal, they don't need our money, just all kinds of weapons recovered on the battlefield!"

"Are you stupid? We are the periphery, not the war zone, where are the weapons? Besides, it is contraband, and all traders will be killed!" Sathorn denied the possibility of such a transaction.

"Yes, you're right, but what I want to say is, what do they want for weapons? The city lord, and the sand steward, think about it, fifty boats, each of which is a hundred meters long, as long as we take it, there will be no problem in killing the whole city!" Oba quickly explained clearly.

"I said Oba, you keep your voice quiet, the electric huā ore is forbidden by the Lord of the Domain Emperor himself... , only Shatong felt that his heartbeat at this time was like beating a drum, but he did not deny that his heart was moved.

Is there anything more terrible in the world than to die alive?

No!

Instead of catching the head, it's better to fill your stomach first and be a full ghost!

Oba was a little relieved when he saw that Sathorn was a die-hard member, and hurriedly struck the iron super hot: "We are not a deal, city lord, we go to the guest of honor to show our little heart, as a witness of friendship" We give each other a small gift, and the other party generously reciprocates our much-needed food greed. Even if the above knew the news, I believe that they would not be severely reprimanded, after all, there is a shortage of food everywhere now, and the lord of the country also has a headache!"

Feng Jian felt that this was not a bad idea.

I'm just worried about how much grain can be exchanged for a little bit of electricity in Jinyang City?

In any case, it is better to stabilize the other party first, "If the other party leaves in a boat, it will be over."

The three of them decided to take the risk, and took a few other merchants in the city, who were also so poor that they were left with only a layer of skin, to visit the head of the merchant group. Anyway, this deal is a head-killing deal, if you want to live together, you have to die together, and no one can fall!

When he saw the fifty grain boats, even Feng Jian, the Jinyang City Lord, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, grandma's, if it weren't for the city lord, it would be fine.

If you are still a thief before, just grab a handful of fat sheep.

No business.

It's better than risking your head to trade.

As soon as he saw that the other party's guards had five heavenly steps, his body immediately weakened with fright. If the good guy really robs it, he won't be able to keep his own cat skin! Fifty grain ships, even if there are few heavenly orders to protect them, they will not be able to enter the central combat area. However, where did this Titan Merchant Group come from? Five Heavenly Rank powerhouses serve as guards, such a big deal, even if it is not inferior to the top ten merchant groups!

"You are the city lord, don't say anything superfluous, our request is very simple, as long as we take out the electric huā ore, we can provide you with seeds in addition to food greed!" Bao Gu made his position clear, that is, as long as the electric huā ore is not rare.

"Seeds?" When Feng Jian heard this, his heartbeat accelerated violently, in Tianhua Domain, seeds are definitely the root of life, nothing can be done, but there can't be no seeds!

"Our electric huā mine is not of high purity, and every three months, the lord of the country collects it, and the stock is insufficient. The butler bowed his head.

He had to bow his head.

Because he has now seen that the other party is a super luxurious big business group, I am afraid that he will not care about the little inventory in Jinyang City.

As long as the grain ships were driven into the war zone, the lords of the kingdom would compete to trade the electric huā ore.

Although it is forbidden by the Domain Emperor, there are exceptions to everything, right?

Like this kind of luxurious and wealthy super business group, it is generally possible to get the special approval of the domain emperor"......

"We really don't like that little inventory. We need a lot of electric huā ore, a lot of it!" said Fat Judd, and Windward, Oba and Sathorn were almost desperate. They were pleading, and the fat man Judd waved his hand and proposed a plan: "Otherwise, we will invest in mining here, you will be responsible for providing labor, we will provide grain and poultry, and you will be allowed to use labor money in exchange for grain greed, and at the same time, we can also help you with some seeds, and in return, you will send as many people as you can to drive the electric huā ore, and as for the purity, you don't need to worry about it." ”

"No problem, the most important thing we need here is manpower!" Oba was afraid of the wind and Sathorn hesitated, and first agreed to come down on his own initiative.

"Jinyang City simply gives it to you, I am an incompetent city lord, besides, any of you are stronger than me, you send someone to be the Jinyang City Lord, you can do whatever you want............ Feng Jian felt that he had enough pockets, a dignified city lord, and he didn't have the gold-level armor on the other party's guard, even if he was still beaten.

He took off the Ring of the City Lord, a token of his identity, and forced it into Judd's hands.

Hold Bao Gu's hand again: "Commander, can I protect you today?"

This guy's thunderous behavior made Bao Gu and Judd stunned.

And such a thing?

Sathorn and Oba also cried out like a resentful woman: "City Lord, you can't abandon us, if you leave, what will we do in the future?"

Feng Jian waved his hand: "Stop, stop, I'm not your city lord now, to be honest, I'm fed up with this damn city lord! I don't have that ability, and I don't like to worry about the food and drink of hundreds of thousands of people, since I became this city lord, I haven't been happy for a day! Even when I was the most depressed before, I was not as poor as I am now, nor have I been so armed now, if the current city lord has to die, why should I be the city lord?" Why don't I be a guard, or just be a mercenary like I used to, at least then I can still have enough to eat!"

"Boy, you are not qualified to be a guard!" Chongguan laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, how many people want to be a city lord, but now, as a strong man who is the lord of a city, he is worried about dying in office, this is really a big joke today.

"My strength is poor, but I have good specialties and talents, although I can't grow food, but I am good at reconnaissance and tracking!"

"The problem is that although I am the head of the regiment, above me, there is a master. Bao Gu smiled: "Except that you can get the master's permission, otherwise it is useless for you to be strong." How many strong people break their brains and want to get in as guards, there are strong people at the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank, but they are not qualified.

Here, in addition to competence, loyalty is also emphasized. Honestly, I doubt your loyalty, because you can leave a city of people out of office because of hunger!"

"You still have a master above you?" Feng Jian is going to be stupid, what is the origin of this merchant group? The master of the Heavenly Rank powerhouse, is that the lord of the country? Or is it a more powerful being?

"The master said that if you can find a way over the wind-stopping swamp, then you can temporarily hire a guard for a period of three months. ”

Yue Yang was on the side of the luxury yacht and sent the female dragon man of today's realm to come over to spread the word.

Although Feng Jian is reluctant to be a city lord who is armed, it seems that his loyalty is a bit of a problem.

But if you look at the two sides of the matter, you will find that this guy of the cat clan is actually not bad, if he wants to change to another city lord, even in a poor city, will he starve and be armed? At the very least, it can prove that the wind does not record the common people to obtain wealth. He may not be qualified as a city lord, but there should be no problem in being a wayfinding guard and giving full play to his strengths.

Moreover, it is indeed better to let people like Bao Gu and Judd take over Jinyang City than to be in charge of everything.

In the mountains near Jinyang City, the amount of electric huā mine is good, but it is difficult to mine.

The problem here is that there is not enough manpower and technology to open the mine, which will cause low production capacity, if there is the technology of Lei Fort to open the thunder ore, coupled with a large number of manpower, the electric huā ore may not be enough to be used on the battlefield to become a sharp weapon for elite soldiers, but it is enough for Yue Yang to refine the war beast bracelet.

"Stop the Wind Swamp, that's a place of death!" Feng Jian heard this, and his face changed greatly.

"We don't want cowards!" said Fat Judd.

"Who said I was a coward, you still found the right person, if you want to change to another one, you really can't get past the wind swamp. Even I, who once escaped in the wind-stopping swamp, was only 30% sure......... You don't know, it's so terrible, it's a place of death that you can't cross. To walk through the Wind Stopping Swamp, in addition to strength and experience, the most important thing is luck!" "Feng Jian bowed to the Heavenly Realm Female Dragonman who was still waiting for an accurate reply, his eyesight was not bad, and he knew that the status of this Realm Female Dragonman today was actually higher, at least higher than a few genuine guards with Heavenly Rank strength. Feng Jian was very respectful, and his words were also very sincere: "If you want to pass through the Wind Swamp, in addition to me, you need to find someone in another place, the two of us, one is indispensable." ”
