"Everyone, just say a few words. The overall situation is of paramount importance. The strength and intentions of the outsiders are unknown at present. We must work together to find out the details of the outsiders before we make any plans!"
As the Great Protector of Beiting, Zou Jing is the guardian of the only human kingdom in the Demon Yuan Realm - Dayan Kingdom in the north. He has a high official position and has the highest status among these people.
The reason why Elder Li, Village Chief Wu, and Boss Ma are able to sit on an equal footing with Zou Jing is because of their special status. These people are all powerful and powerful people.
"What Mr. Zou is saying is," Elder Li, who has become a mature man, echoed, which made other people present very dissatisfied. Elder Li did not take it seriously and continued: "Everyone, although you are very dissatisfied with me, the mine has resumed mining.
If this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, well, when the time comes, don’t blame Li for not reminding everyone!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked solemn, including Mr. Zou, whose faces were full of sorrow. Everyone present was responsible for the mining of a mine, but only the mine in Lijiacun could continue to mine, and the others were not like this.
Good luck.
"Humph!" Village Chief Wu snorted coldly, squinting his eyes and looking at Elder Li, wondering what other evil ideas he had in mind.
This time, the Demon King Minotaur escaped from trouble, and the noise caused by breaking the seal was too great. The mine in charge of Boss Ma completely collapsed, and except for the human slaves, including the captured demons who were absent from work, all were lost.
At present, even if Boss Ma reopens the mine, there will be no one to maintain mineral mining.
"Mr. Zou, if you have any brilliant ideas, you might as well tell us and let us know the details!" Boss Ma's words represented the opinions of most people. Everyone listened attentively and wanted to know what Mr. Zou meant.
Zou Jing is also a treacherous and cunning person. How can he be willing to cause trouble for himself at this time? What's more, his mission is to subdue these strange people and families who are independent in their own affairs and serve the royal family of the Yan Kingdom.
"Today, everyone must show some sincerity no matter what. How will this matter be resolved?" Zou Jing's face looked ugly and he was obviously angry.
Elder Li of Lijiacun knew very well that if he didn't set an example, others would have to sit back and watch. If he didn't give these people some sweetness, who would be his spearhead?
"Let's see, Lijiacun is willing to give out 100 cubic meters of high-quality ore this time, but the premise is that you must come up with the soul stones to buy these ores, and Lijiacun needs to know the movements of that wave of people!"
Village Chief Wu, Boss Ma and others were aware that Elder Li's plan to drive away wolves and tigers was clearly to use their weaknesses to deal with outsiders, and they knew there was a trap in front of them, so they had to force it.
Jump down with your scalp.
Boss Ma looked at Village Chief Wu in embarrassment. Village Chief Wu had no choice but to nod his head. Boss Ma sighed in his heart:
"Elder Li, I need an additional thirty cubic meters of ore. The reward is not a problem. In addition, I will send my most capable brothers to track down those outsiders!"
Elder Li felt very sad. After taking out so many ores, only Boss Ma agreed to his request.
Elder Li glanced at Zou Jing secretly and thought to himself: "Since you all can't catch the rabbit, I will let you jump into the fire pit. You can't say anything after suffering a loss!"
No one present thought that Elder Li had already made up his mind to cooperate with the royal family represented by Zou Jing, and that he would take this opportunity to catch all the strangers who were unwilling to be loyal to the royal family.
"Let's do this. The hundred square meters of ore just now will be divided equally among everyone. Lijiacun won't take any of it, but I must know the details of those people!"
Elder Li's words completely hit the critical point of other families and villages. In this catastrophe, except for Li Family Village, every family and village suffered heavy losses. If they continue to pay the tribute required by the royal family under this situation, these villages will suffer heavy losses.
I'm afraid my family will be severely injured and won't be able to recover for many years.
Other families and villages were careful not to let the Li family dominate. However, this time it was self-defeating and they ended up making wedding dresses for others.
At this time, Zou Jing cooperated and said: "The Yan Kingdom allows each family to retain their privileges, but there are conditions. If it is too difficult for you, I will write to the court and send an army to the north to guard it!"
As soon as Zou Jing said these words, except for Elder Li, everyone else's expressions turned extremely ugly.
Each family and village can control all the interests in the northern part of the Yan Kingdom, work together with them, and use the right time, place, and people to deal with the monsters in the north, and to guard key areas to prevent the imperial court from expanding northward.
The price is only a mere tribute. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, but now that Zou Jing has found a reason for the imperial court to send troops, these villages cannot sit still.
The owner of Qian Island immediately stood up and said something awe-inspiring: "I, Mr. Qian, represent Feiyu Island, and I will definitely serve Lijia Village this time. For the sake of the northern peace of Dayan Kingdom, and for the sake of loyalty to the Dayan royal family, this time
Feiyu Island will definitely be full of people."
With the statement made by Island Master Qian, representatives from other families and villages expressed their opinions one after another:
"We in Yuejia Village must respect Master Zou's wishes!"
"The Wang family is willing to obey Master Zou's arrangements."
"White Wolf Village is willing to share Mr. Zou's worries!"
Elder Li and Master Zou were very happy. Their plans were finally coming to fruition. However, these two old foxes still had to make necessary gestures on the surface.
"Elder Li, since everyone has expressed support for your Lijiacun, Lijiacun must not let me down this time."
"Master Zou has spoken, and Lijia Village will naturally do something to satisfy everyone. After the old man returns, he will immediately send the ore to Master Zou's garrison."
Elder Li said, walked to Master Zou Jingzou and said:
"As for Lijiacun, if someone catches an outsider or captures the main leader, Lijiacun will provide additional rewards."
"To show Lijiacun's sincerity, Lijiacun will send an additional 500 cubic meters of ore to Master Zou tomorrow!"
Elder Li's words completely dispelled everyone's concerns. As long as Lord Zou's garrison receives enough ore and their worries are resolved, every family and village will start working with all their strength.
This day was destined to be an unusual day. Zou Jing returned to his garrison and issued several orders in succession. At the same time, the three main northern border troops, Feiying, Feixiong, and Feihu, who were affiliated with the garrison, quietly withdrew their defenses.
The northern border was completely left to each family and village.
Zhao Feng, who knew nothing about this, began his adventurous experience in the Demon Yuan Realm through the continuous rain.
No one expected that the Minotaur's escape this time would eventually lead to earth-shaking changes in the Demon Yuan world.
No one knows what kind of situation the original confrontation between humans and monsters will eventually change. In the Yan Kingdom, where humans are the mainstay, from the royal family to the common people, they began to step up their guard against the demon clan. At the same time, the demon clan also began to mobilize all the people to fight.
