Lin Haoming didn't know what the so-called punishment was, but looking at Commander Yan's words for Situ Ming, it was obvious that there was a tacit understanding between the two people. At least Situ Ming was definitely Yan Yuzhang's confidant.
Lin Haoming doesn't care about the relationship between Situ Ming and Yan Yuzhang. In his opinion, he only needs to do his own thing well. As long as there is no conflict of interest, I believe that both parties will definitely get along well. What he fears most is that Yan Yuzhang will be in the space crystal.
Secretly meddling in Shi's matter, it will be a bit difficult to handle.
After Yan Yuzhang introduced a number of important people, Lin Haoming also introduced the people around him.
In fact, he only introduced a few captains, including Fang Sumiang, Nie Botian and Rong Can. When he introduced Rong Can, Zhu Yong looked at him specially and said: "Captain Rong, could it be that you are the Rong family?"
Third son?"
Hearing Zhu Yong's words, Rong Can's face flashed with sadness and he said: "Brother Zhu really has good eyesight, this junior is indeed the third son of the Rong family!"
Lin Haoming looked at Rong Can's expression, and it seemed that Rong Can's departure from Heishan County had some hidden secrets, but he didn't want to say it, and Lin Haoming had no intention of intervening. After all, it was his private matter.
But at this moment, Zhu Yong followed: "Rong Can, do you know that Yan Rong has advanced to the integration stage."
"What?" Hearing this, Rong Can shouted in disbelief.
Zhu Yong continued: "Now she is almost half the head of the Ma family. With her help, the Ma family is prospering. I think your father will regret it too!"
Zhu Yongda's profound words did not arouse Rong Can's big reaction this time. Instead, he fell silent.
Zhu Yong was silent when he saw Rong Can and stopped talking.
Next, Yan Yuzhang led everyone into the city lord's palace and held a banquet in the main hall to welcome Lin Haoming and his party.
During the banquet, Yan Yuzhang and others only talked about the customs and customs of Heishan County, and occasionally asked about the incident with King Jing that happened not long ago, but they did not mention anything about the space crystal. Naturally, Lin Haoming was not able to take the initiative to bring it up.
During the banquet, Yan Yuzhang specially arranged some performances, including a dance by a woman from the Vine Demon Clan. Compared with the men from the Vine Demon Clan, whose skin is as rough as tree bark, the woman from the Vine Demon Clan has a completely different scene, although her skin is still dark and green.
, but it is much more delicate and smooth, and it exudes a light fragrance, which is more comfortable to smell.
After the dance was over, Lin Haoming deliberately wanted to ask about the situation of the Vine Demon Clan, so he took the initiative to say: "Master Sheriff, Black Mountain County and the Vine Demon Clan are neighbors. How is the communication between the two sides?"
"Haha, although Heishan County is adjacent to the Vine Demon Clan, the empire issued an order many years ago that the Vine Demon Clan and our human monks are not allowed to go out in their respective places without road guides or official documents, so there are not many Vine Demon Clan people in Heishan County.
Of course, Ivory City is an exception. Monks from both sides can enter the city at will, but only within the specified area. If Lin Dutong is interested, he can also go to Ivory City to see where the trade between the two races is still very prosperous.
If you are lucky, you can get some good things." Yan Yuzhang introduced with a smile.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming just nodded silently and casually promised to go take a look when he had time.
The banquet did not last long, and within two hours, Lin Haoming left.
Because they had just arrived here, Yan Yuzhang specially allocated a tower in the city to Lin Haoming and others to be stationed there.
This tower was originally used to entertain envoys from the Vine Demon Clan, and the place was large enough for Lin Haoming to bring hundreds of people to live there.
After settling in here, Lin Haoming took Fang Sumiang and Xie Ruolan to visit Governor Yan alone.
Yan Yuzhang had long expected that Lin Haoming would come and had been waiting in the mansion.
After Lin Haoming came this time, Yan Yuzhang specially took Lin Haoming into the inner hall to discuss matters.
Lin Haoming told Yan Yuzhang what the Demon Emperor told him. After hearing this, Yan Yuzhang looked embarrassed.
When Lin Haoming saw his expression, he frowned slightly and said, "Chief Yan, is it possible that His Majesty's decree is difficult to carry out?"
Yan Yuzhang did not hesitate and told Lin Haoming directly: "Lin Dutong, you don't know something about Heishan County. Let me tell you the truth. The most valuable thing in Heishan County is the space crystal mines, among which the largest
The Heishan mine is naturally under my control, but there are also some small and medium-sized mines in other places. Among them, less than one-third is under my jurisdiction, and the remaining 70% and 50% are in the hands of the Nine Surnames Alliance.
Twenty percent belong to the Xuanjian Sect."
After hearing this, Lin Haoming looked at Yan Yuzhang's expression and deliberately pretended to be puzzled and said: "Master Sheriff, your Majesty's decree is just to keep the space crystal mine away from the Liuteng Demon Clan. It does not intend to rob the Nine Surnames Alliance and
What does Xuanjian Sect’s industry mean, why do you still look embarrassed, sir?”
"Lin Dutong doesn't know. This space crystal is a good thing. The quantity produced by the nine counties of the Vine Demon Tribe is too small, so basically they buy a lot from me every year. And to be honest, the price is right.
Not low. His Majesty stopped openly selling space crystals to the Vine Demon Clan, and instead gave them 30% of the space crystals in a divided manner. This obviously only refers to the space crystals in the Black Mountain Mine, but if calculated in this way, it is still far from enough.
If the needs of the Vine Demon Clan are met, the Vine Demon Clan will still buy from us, and I can only control me. At most, the Xuanjian Sect will not sell space crystals to the Vine Demon Clan. It will be difficult for the Nine Surnames Alliance to handle it.
!" Yan Yuzhang explained the situation to Lin Haoming.
"What? How dare the Nine Surnames Alliance disobey His Majesty's will?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Of course the Nine Surnames Alliance doesn't dare, but the problem is that although people don't dare on the surface, they can't prevent private transactions at all. I think your Majesty asked Lin Dutong to come over to you. The real meaning is to monitor the Nine Surnames Alliance's private transactions." Yan Yuzhangpo
Said for sure.
Lin Haoming looked at his serious look, but he didn't completely believe it. Instead, he asked: "How many space crystals can Heishan County produce in total every year?"
"It's hard to say every year. If calculated every ten years, the Heishan Mine can produce more than three million kilograms of raw ore in ten years. The other small and medium-sized mines combined can produce one million kilograms more than the Heishan Mine. However, because the Heishan Mine
The raw ore is of the best quality, and the actual number of space crystals that can be extracted is about the same." Yan Yuzhang replied, having nothing to hide.
In fact, Lin Haoming roughly knew this number. Now that he heard him say it again, he nodded silently and said: "In other words, we will give the Vine Demon Clan one million kilograms of raw ore from the Black Mountain Mine every ten years?"
"That's right, but to really meet the needs of the Vine Demon Clan, I'm afraid we still need one million kilograms of raw ore. For this part, the Vine Demon Clan can only buy it secretly. If it were before, we could still make a profit by selling it at a high price, but now
If you don’t even have enough, it’s naturally impossible to be like this, so the secret transactions will definitely become very rampant!” Yan Yuzhang speculated with certainty. (To be continued.)
