Chapter 297 Counting the stars
...
The climate in Runyu City is indeed very comfortable.
Even in winter, you only need to wear a close-fitting lining and then casually put on a beautiful long gown, which will not feel cold or bloated, which will affect your beauty.
It's time to worry about dragon grain again.
Xiao Baiqi's star fragments and crystals have almost been eaten, so Zhu Minglang has to drag people to several nearby countries to collect them.
The meat of Big Black Teeth is easy to solve. Haoye has hunted the monster meat that cannot be eaten for a month for Da Black Teeth. Fang Niannian also sold the excess meat that is not suitable for storage and exchanged for some dragon meat biscuits to ensure that the big eater will not be hungry this winter.
The wood juice of the Divine Wood Green Holy Dragon also costs money to buy, and the Demon Fruit cannot be eaten as a meal.
The main reason is that Xiaobaiqi’s food is expensive.
It feels that no matter how many gems Zhu Minglang has plundered, it is far from enough.
"The people from Di's family have taken them away, and a total of 700,000 gold. This time we have gained a good harvest!" Fang Niannian smiled. When she saw a large sum of money in her account, she was very happy. Once the money treasury was empty, she would feel insecure.
The powerful dragon is far less than a room of gold, at least Fang Niannian always thinks so.
"The Dragon-Slaying Soul Pearl should be very valuable, and it will be sold at auction afterwards." Zhu Minglang said.
"Well, Xiaobaiqi's food ration costs about 150,000 yuan, and I can eat it for two months. This time I change it to Yuehua Crystal. After the bloodline is reshaped, the fragments of Yuehua Crystal seem to be more in line with Xiaobaiqi." Fang Niannian carefully handed the account to Zhu Minglang to see.
"Is it 75,000 a month?" Zhu Minglang's eyes widened.
Raising a Dragon Lord will consume a fixed amount of 75,000 yuan per month!
Fortunately, I made a big profit this time, otherwise my small treasury would have been flattened again.
"In fact, it is because the business road of Runyu City is closed. If Runyu City forms a commerce industry, many resources can be transported directly, and the price will be 30% or 40%. Now it is not just that we have to spend a lot of money on dragon grain. The Hu family's Dragon Shepherd Army, the Canglang Riders, and the dragon-raising people in Runyu City basically have to buy from other places at a high price..." Fang Niannian said.
"It's not only a few percent lower, as the city lord, I also have to bribe and sell taxes!" Zhu Minglang said.
"Yes! I heard that the Canglang Cavalry has indeed become a good person recently. They swept all the robbers and bandits nearby, but they are still receiving the escort from the Brown Land Caravan. Why not open up the trade in Runyu City as soon as possible?" Fang Niannian suggested.
Such a huge city, people are everywhere.
But there are not many decent markets, no workshops, shops, and no restaurants, stalls, and vegetables.
It seems prosperous, but it is actually extremely desolate.
"We have applied for the Seal of the City Lord from Shenfan Academy. With the Seal of the City Lord, many things can be implemented naturally." Zhu Minglang said.
...
A month passed quickly.
Zhu Minglang had applied for the City Lord's Seal from Shenfan Academy before. Considering that the City Lord's Seal was made of the ancient divine lamp jade, Zhu Minglang was even more eager to get it.
When it comes time, Zhu Minglang plans to go to the residence of Shenfan Academy.
But the day before departure, there were several people outside Runyu City who claimed to be the officials of Shenfan Academy.
"Who is the city lord?"
With a loud voice, the stone bricks outside the city gate were flat, and a man wearing a feather crown and a colorful robe stood there. Behind him, a man wearing a red crown and a long robe was majestic, dressed in luxury, and was proud!
Zhu Minglang came over and looked at the five people from Shenfan Academy.
Come on, just go directly to the mansion and talk. Why do you stand at the gate of this city and look arrogant as if you are sending a letter of war to Runyu City?
After all, it is the power of this land that should be on par with the rulers. But judging from their behavior, it feels like they are from heaven to earth!
"Are you here to return the Seal of the City Lord? I had applied to Shenfan Academy a month ago. Now Runyu City has been under my jurisdiction for more than a month." Zhu Minglang said.
"What kind of seal of the city lord? We are patrolling the orderly people on behalf of others." said the man in the colorful robe.
After looking closely, I realized that the man was wearing a gorgeous peacock robe, and the feathered crest on his head seemed to be related to the peacock.
"Order inspected?" Zhu Minglang looked puzzled.
"Not long ago, you announced that Runyu City belongs to Lichuan Kingdom. We suspect that you used loopholes in the dynasty's laws to protect yourself in the name of our Shenfan Academy, avoid national wars, and maliciously occupy the main city, so we come here to find out the matter." The man in the peacock robe said.
When Hu Chongming and Hu Bailing heard this, their faces changed.
Why does this happen?
Even if they used the dynasty laws to avoid national wars, all their actions were in line with the dynasty laws and did not violate the regulations of the forces in charge. Why were they still patrolled?
Could it be that they can still use fake identities?
"Oh, it turns out that I am here to find fault." Zhu Minglang laughed and responded indifferently.
"What are you looking for trouble? What are you thinking about? We are doing our orders!" One of the women in Shenfan Academy pointed at Zhu Minglang.
"Where is the seal of the city lord in your hands?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"If the inspection finds a problem, we will not hand over the seal of the city lord to you." said the man in peacock robe.
"If the seal of the city lord is not handed over to me, the dignified city lord, who is your favorite delivery target? Su Tai from the country?" Zhu Minglang asked back.
The guy who commanded the 100,000 brown flag army of the country!
Until now, Zhu Minglang still remembers his arrogant look on the shoulders of the giant spirit dragon!
They were forced to retreat by the national war and did not dare to provoke the dynasty's laws, but they used the Shenfan Academy to cause trouble for Runyu City.
As expected, it is not easy to completely capture Runyu City. The four countries are competing for this wasteland, and the major armed forces and major forces are unwilling to give up. It is nothing more than the tempting prospects of Runyu City!
"We have some questions and we need to ask the national teacher of Lichuan in person." The man in peacock robe said coldly and arrogantly.
"She's still sleeping."
"This is daytime!" said the woman with wide eyebrows.
"My wife and I were on the eaves last night and savored wine while we were on the eaves until dawn." Zhu Minglang said without hesitation.
"No one is talking nonsense, who counts the stars all night? Do you think we are three-year-olds?" the woman with straight eyebrows said angrily.
"Haha, girl, you have to believe what the city lord Zhu said about counting the stars, then he is really a three-year-old child. Two adults, who don't sleep all night, what else can you do!" At this time, an old man watching at the gate of the city laughed and said.
