Jia Zhengjin actually doesn’t need fresh water because there is plenty of it in the virtual backpack.
Moreover, there is a bug of unlimited water. You can use it unlimitedly with a bottle of water, so you don’t have to worry at all.
However, he is more concerned about the fact that the Tairuosi Principality does not plan to build cement roads, which will affect his plans.
Therefore, I simply took out some dry bread and exchanged a jar of water with the bearded uncle.
While the three wives filled water in hidden kettles, he squatted in front of the bearded man who was in a good mood because he had received three days of rations and asked: "Why do you know that the Principality of Teros is not planning to build cement roads? Is this information accurate?"
"
"Of course, since we are strangers to each other, there is no need for me to deceive you!" The bearded uncle replied, "Our Principality of Tairuosi is different from other imperial systems. The official will definitely notify all the people of any major events. The Lord of the Holy Dragon City
Orders are a big deal. Although we don't want to disobey the Godslayer, the country is indeed in difficulty and cannot afford the huge cost of building cement roads. And even if the roads are built, it will have little effect on our Principality of Teros.
His Majesty the King has announced to the whole territory that he is preparing to send envoys to Holy Dragon City to inform us of our situation in detail, and at the same time request that the Principality of Teros be removed from the plan."
"Is that so?" Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, which gave him a bit of a headache. After all, he didn't want any discounts on his plan. "Is it true that your Tairuosi Principality can't pay for a mere cement road?"
"Guest, you have also seen it," the bearded uncle pointed around helplessly, "The country is in this situation, everyone is barely surviving, how can it withstand the torment? The previous war with the Sea Tribe, and the subsequent battle with the Dragon of Darkness.
In the war, our country has contributed all its remaining resources, and also lost a large number of outstanding soldiers. I think that Lord God Killer, at least in view of this, should be able to understand our difficulties and not force us
."
"Do you really not have any available resources in your country? No matter what resources they are, I think as long as they can be developed, they can be used in exchange for funds..."
"If we really had resources, how could we end up in this situation?" The bearded man shrugged helplessly, "It's not like we don't want to find any useful resources ourselves? But the official has already dispatched countless personnel to survey all the land.
Even if we have a little bit of resources, it would be nice. The problem is, we really can’t find any resources in our country. In other words, the entire continent now knows that our Principality of Teros is the most barren land!"
"Could it be that your country's top officials deliberately concealed information about certain resources and directly mined them secretly?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously.
"Come on!" The bearded man shook his head and responded, "If that really happened, we would all laugh out loud."
Jia Zhengjin wanted to ask again, but a group of merchants came over to buy fresh water from the bearded uncle.
I don't want to disturb you, so I can only step aside first.
"Shall we continue on our way?" Tina took Perrin and Christina to pack water and came over to ask softly.
"Don't worry, I want to talk to the king of the Principality of Tairuosi. I must find a way to get them to build the cement road!"
"But can't they not be able to pay the fee?" Tina said softly, "And it seems that the national life is very difficult. She has contributed to the war between the Sea Tribe and the Dark Dragon before, so she can't be forced unreasonably.
Are they right?"
"Do you think I am that kind of person?" Jia Zhengjin gave her a helpless look, "Of course I know they are very difficult, but this road construction must not miss a single place, that will affect my plan. Isn't it because I have no money and no resources?
?Isn’t it enough to find a way to make them make money? I can spend the road construction funds first, and then I can pay them back after they make money!"
"Borrowing debt?" Tina thought for a moment, "But how do they make money? Didn't I tell you that this country has no resources at all?"
"There are no resources, but it has enough land and a country's people, right?" Jia Zhengjin thought carefully, "In fact, land and population are also resources!"
"Do you want them to sell their land or people to us?" Tina was surprised.
"What are you thinking about?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless, "What do I want their land and people for?"
"Isn't that what you just meant?" Tina was very curious, "Lin, Chris, do you think so?"
"Yeah!" Palin, Christina, even April, and Vanessa nodded repeatedly, focusing on Jia Zhengjin.
"What I mean is that the territory of the Tairuosi Principality and its population are also available resources, but they do not mean they are for sale!" Jia Zhengjin could only explain, "Actually, what I want to say is, how
Use this desolate country and these... uh ~ idle people to create resources!"
"I don't understand!" All the girls shook their heads.
"I have a preliminary idea, which can not only solve the problem of cement roads, but also solve the situation where the principality of Tairuosi is lacking in resources and can only barely survive." Jia Zhengjin looked at the bearded uncle, "So I still have to meet them first.
king."
"Although I don't know what you want to do, you will definitely not harm them." Tina said with a smile.
"certainly!"
The bearded man over there finished his business with the caravan, sold the remaining cans of water, stood up, packed up the empty cans, and prepared to leave.
Jia Zhengjin saw him and hurried over to stop him: "Wait a minute!"
"The guests haven't left yet?" the bearded uncle asked doubtfully, "Do you still want water? I've sold out today's water and have to wait until tomorrow to get it. Why don't you ask other people to buy it first?"
"I don't want to buy water!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said, "I just want to ask you for a favor."
"Help?" The bearded man looked at him doubtfully, "Help for what? If it's within my ability, of course I'll be happy!"
"Didn't you just say that Faling City is the capital of the Principality of Tyros? Then the king must be in this city, right?"
"Of course!" The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Can you give me directions and tell me where the king lives? I have something I want to communicate with him face to face." Jia Zhengjin said seriously, "It is a very important matter!"
"But even in a place like our Principality of Teros, the king is not something that outsiders can just meet if they want." The bearded man scratched his head in embarrassment, "Especially if you guys are dressed up so weirdly that you don't even show your face..."
"If you take me to see the king, I can give you three more days... no, five days of food!" Jia Zhengjin said directly, "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask some questions face to face."
"Is that so?" The bearded man lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay! As long as you swear to the gods that you will never endanger the king, I will take you there!" (To be continued)
