Chapter 191 I want the entire northernmost land!(1/2)

The location of Yinsong City is actually quite special.

It is located in the north of the Buck Kingdom. Starting from Silver Song City, to the north, it is the northern region of the Buck Kingdom. To the south, it is the southern region of the Buck Kingdom, or to be precise, the central region.

The north is a place of poverty recognized by the Buck Kingdom.

Yinsong City is generally considered to be the most prosperous city in the north.

As for remote places like Red Leaf City, few people know about it, and many people even think that Silver Song City is the northernmost city of the Buck Kingdom.

To the east of Silver Song City is a continuous mountain range called Thunder Mountains. The Thunder Mountains block the harsh climate from the north, making the climate environment in the central region of the Buck Kingdom much better than that in the north. Of course, the climate in the north has become much worse.

Once the climate is harsh, there will be fewer people; if there are fewer people, the environment will not improve, and the climate will be even worse! This is also one of the reasons why the north is very barren.

However, the location of Yinsong City is still a distance from the Thunder Mountains. When Zhang Feng went to Yinsong City, he did not walk down the Thunder Mountains, so he did not see it.

The road Zhang Feng took was in the west of Yinsong City.

As for the steep Thunder Mountains in the east, the space in the west of Yinsong City is more spacious, with both land and waterways - Senluo River, so almost all those businessmen who do business walk from here.

As for going west from Yinsong City, there is the Huoyi Mountain Range, and on the other side of the Huoyi Mountain Range is the Luoyan Kingdom.

So, if you want to go to the extreme north of the Buck Kingdom, such as Red Leaf City, whether you take water or land, Yinsong City is an unavoidable city.

It seems that the location of Yinsong City seems to be quite important, but because it is too barren, it has never been taken seriously.

In addition, there is no other country in the north of Yinsong City, only one sunset mountain range, so neither the king nor the nobles attached importance to Yinsong City.

However, if others don’t pay attention to it, it does not mean that Zhang Feng doesn’t pay attention to it.

If you want to go to your own Red Leaf City, Yinsong City is a must-pass place. Zhang Feng is very confident that in a certain time in the future, Red Leaf City will become a place that many people flock to!

Then Yinsong City is very important to Zhang Feng. Not to mention anything else, just say that so many people pass by Yinsong City, as long as the person who understands it can make a lot of money with a little operation.

Of course, this is secondary. The most important thing is that Yinsong City is a barrier to Hongye City and a window to contact the outside world. After all, Hongye City’s geographical location is relatively remote.

If you control Yinsong City, Zhang Feng will know what is happening outside the world as soon as possible.

So Zhang Feng couldn't give up on this Yinsong City.

Although this place actually belongs to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng has to be legitimate. Otherwise, when he sees Yinsong City making money, the other great nobles will be jealous and will be more troublesome if they want to get a share of the pie.

Zhang Feng hates trouble.

Zhang Feng took out his pencil and soon found the location of Yinsong City on the map and drew a line.

The line starts from the Thunder Mountains, passes through Silver Pine City, and then ends at the Firewing Mountains.

After finishing the painting, Zhang Feng looked at the king with a little embarrassed look.

"You're this?"

Looking at the straight black line on the map, the king didn't understand Zhang Feng's operations.

What territory Zhang Feng wants, as long as he points out a position or circles out an approximate position, the king can find the unowned territory based on the distribution of local nobles and combine it with the actual situation, and divide it into Zhang Feng.

Even if there is a master, the king can still exchange it at will as long as it is not a duke's territory, it is nothing more than just taking more effort.

But the king really didn't understand Zhang Feng's operation of drawing a line.

"Ahem, Your Majesty the King..."

Zhang Feng was a little embarrassed. If someone familiar with Zhang Feng saw it, he would probably be shocked. Zhang Feng's face has always been thick. When will he be embarrassed to see him?

"You said boldly."

The kingdom waved his hand indifferently.

The entire Buck Kingdom is his territory. As long as the territory Zhang Feng wants is in the Buck Kingdom, there is nothing he can't give! Brackets, except for the cast iron city in the south.

"My Majesty the King, I mean, if I can, I hope you can divide the north of this line into my territory..."

His Majesty the King: "…"

Both sides suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he was a little too big to speak?

If it really doesn't work, I'll take down Yinsong City first. It would be better if I could get a few more small cities...

Zhang Feng thought silently in his heart.

The king looked a little strange.

To be honest, Zhang Feng was shocked just now.

Because the north of this line is quite large, even larger than a duke's fief!

You should know that in the Kingdom of Buck, the number of dukes was originally small, and most dukes only had titles and did not have much territory. There were very few dukes with such a large territory. The king thought about it and it seemed that except for the Duke of Oran in the south, it seemed that no duke could have such a large territory. No, the territory of the Duke of Oran is not so large!

The king subconsciously wanted to refuse, which was completely an instinctive reaction. The king even thought, if Zhang Feng had such a large territory, would he have to make a mistake?

It’s a good thing that he can really speak!

But just as he was about to refuse, the king stopped again.

Because he was just now looking at the size of the place, he ignored where Zhang Feng was talking about.

This line...north?

The king was a little dazed in an instant. What city is coming north? What else is there except Red Leaf City? Why can’t I remember it?

When I looked carefully on the map, the four big words suddenly came into my eyes - the Barren Land.

Oh, it turns out to be the northernmost barren land, that's all right!

So the king spoke with a strange expression:

"Earl Zhang Feng, are you sure... want this barren... Oh no, this far north land is your territory?"

"If your Majesty the King, you will..."

Zhang Feng's tone was a little nervous.

He also knew that he wanted a little too much.

But there was no way. As soon as he saw the map, his fingers didn't obey the command. His mind was still thinking, and his fingers had already been drawn. This wave was the pot of the fingers.

"Do you know what's going on in the far north?"

The king asked.

"I know, after all, my Red Leaf City is also there..."

Zhang Feng nodded.

In fact, in Zhang Feng's opinion, the climate there is a little harsh, fewer people, and less land there, but what does it matter? As long as it is not a knife to the sea of ​​fire, in Zhang Feng's opinion, there is not much difference, it is just a little troublesome.

Zhang Feng is not afraid of trouble!

But this is just Zhang Feng’s own opinion.

In the king's opinion, the far north is a place where no grass grows!

It is even said that from birth to now, he has never been to the extreme north. The northernmost place the king has been to is Silver Song City.

He has awarded countless nobles, but Zhang Feng is the first to name the city in the far north. Although he wants the entire far north, there is no difference in the king's opinion.

In their concept, the land is naturally good, but the barren land is not good.

They even felt that being a little noble in such a place would be better than going to the king's capital to do business - in fact, it is indeed the case!

If you don’t consider the spiritual level, being a businessman in the royal capital is much more comfortable than aristocrats in remote places!

At least there is no shortage of material things. In remote places, there are many things that you can buy if you have gold coins, not to mention that there are no gold coins there! The taxes that have been worked hard for a year are not as good as those of the royal capital merchants for one month - no, half a month's business!

Of course, if you say that you just like being a city lord, being a city lord will make you feel happy, then that's a different story.

The king did not have a deep impression of the far north, and another important reason was taxation.

Which lord pays him more taxes every year, he will naturally be deeply impressed by this lord.

There has been no taxes in the far north for many years!

Since the king accidentally discovered that a small town in the far north had starved to death, he had exempted the taxes of major cities in the far north for one year, and the people praised the king even more.

And this exemption has been until now.

The king did not mention it, and no one came to pay it on his own initiative.

After all, there are no tax officials who have collected taxes in the past. If they come to Wangdu to pay taxes, the tax they pay will probably not be enough for the travel expenses.

The king also looked down on the little gold coins. Compared with this little gold coins, the king felt that reputation was more important.

As for what to say that Zhang Feng wanted to rebel? The king shook his head, which was even more nonsense. This place was for him to train elite soldiers of ten years, and it was considered that the king overestimated him! It would be great if most people could not starve to death!

The king even felt that if he really gave this place to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng would definitely take the initiative to return it to him in a few years. After all, if someone starved to death in the territory of any lord but could not be solved, then this lord would be too embarrassed to do so.

"Although you already know the situation there, I still have to remind you that the Far Northland is different from other places. You are really capable of building the Red Leaf City. This is related to your ability and your luck. Both are indispensable! But if you become the lord of the entire Far Northland, the situation will be completely different. The Far Northland is not comparable to your small Red Leaf City!"

The king warned.

I have to say that as the king, he was really good to Zhang Feng. If he had no time to popularize Zhang Feng when he was young, he would never have the time to do anything nonsense.

"Don't worry, His Majesty the King, I like challenges!"
To be continued...
