After thinking for a moment, Tai Yingzong asked his second question.
"For you to be the talker of the entire Sheng Kingdom, does that mean we have to surrender to you?"
"No." Jiang Beiran shook his head directly, "We have an equal relationship. On weekdays, I will not interfere with your management of your own sect, nor will I forcefully order you to do something. My responsibility is to coordinate the resources of each state.
, and be responsible for mediating for you when conflicts arise between states."
'Not surrender?'
For a moment, Ji Qinglin felt better.
The vote he just cast was somewhat emotional. When he thought that he was about to become a young boy, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
But now that I heard that they still have an equal relationship, even though it was just a verbal statement, I felt a lot more at ease in my heart.
Yin Jianghong glanced at Jiang Beiran with a smile and thought he answered well.
Meng Sipei breathed a sigh of relief. If she used this term, it would be much easier for her to explain when she went back.
Nodding, Tai Yingzong asked a few more questions, and most of these questions revolved around the extent of Jiang Beiran's power.
After giving the answers one by one, Jiang Beiran looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, after leaving this meeting hall, everyone here is still the highest authority in their respective states and counties. As long as everyone here doesn't say it, no one will
I know Shengguo has an extra talkative person."
Hearing this, Ji Qinglin couldn't help but ask: "You mean you want to hide behind the scenes?"
"That's right." Jiang Beiran nodded: "The reason why I want to say these words to you today is to make the three states of Shengguo twist into one rope and use their strength to the same place, instead of working on their own affairs or even scheming to seize power.
.”
Several people present couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this. Yes, just before Jiang Beiran arrived, they were still arguing over the division of territory, and even almost fought. How could they have the consciousness of being in the same country.
But when he thought about the battle for territory, Tai Yingzong spoke again: "Then, I have one last question."
"Please say."
"If our interests in Fengzhou are harmed because of your decision, will you still enforce it?"
Jiang Beiran shook his head and replied: "No."
Tai Yingzong was a little confused after hearing this. Just when he was about to speak, Jiang Beiran continued.
"I'll convince you to do it later."
"Hahahaha." Yin Jianghong laughed loudly after hearing this, "It means that in your future plan, some of us will definitely suffer, right?"
"Master Yin, judging from the current good situation in Lulin County, it should not be difficult for you to find that in the overall development of the country, it is the best way to prioritize the concentration of resources in one area.
Only when one part of the country gets rich can it promote common progress in the surrounding areas."
"Okay." Yin Jianghong waved her hand, "You don't need to explain so much to me now. Since I voted for you, it means that I agree with your ideas. We will all follow your lead in how Sheng Kingdom develops in the future."
Hearing that Yin Jianghong was giving face like this, Jiang Beiran raised his hands to him and said, "Please rest assured, Master Yin, I assure you that the future Sheng Kingdom will be as you wish."
"I look forward to that day coming."
When the conversation between the two ended, Tai Yingzong suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Do you have any wine?"
Jiang Beiran was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and took out a jar of Baimozhi wine from the Qiankun Ring and said: "Yes, the best wine!"
The moment Jiang Beiran opened the wine seal, everyone present showed intoxicated expressions.
Seven bowls were placed, and Jiang Beiran picked up the wine jar and filled them one by one.
Tai Yingzong was the first to ask for a drink. He took the lead and raised a bowl towards Jiang Beiran and said: "I still remember the night when I first discussed Fengzhou's future with Beiran, and I have always believed that you are an excellent leader.
Or, judging from the performance and words of several other sect leaders and cult leaders, you must have many powerful things that I don’t know about. I hope that after I give my vote, I will not hold this kind of meeting next time.
I will come and respect you like an outsider."
"Definitely." Jiang Beiran smiled, picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Tai Yingzong.
"Gudu...Gudu...ha..."
After Jiang Beiran drank the wine in the bowl, Ji Qinglin also picked up a wine bowl and looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "All my trust in you comes from Master, but next I will use my own eyes to see it again."
Knowing you, if I find that you are not as amazing as Master says, I will give up at any time."
Jiang Beiran could tell that these words were the last sign of Ji Qinglin's stubbornness, so he didn't have the courage to refute it. He smiled and said, "Okay, then please ask Master Ji to open his eyes and see clearly."
"Happy! I toast you with this cup!"
After Ji Qinglin finished speaking, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, then turned the bowl upside down on the table.
After Ji Qinglin finished his toast, several other leaders also took over the wine bowls that Jiang Beiran had just filled.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran poured himself another bowl of wine, picked it up and looked at the other people and said: "Thanks to the support of all seniors, from today on, I hope that everyone here can work together to build Shengguo into the most ideal country.
Look, I would like to toast all the seniors with this bowl of wine."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Okay, let's work together!" Huo Hongfei stood up and was the first to respond to Jiang Beiran's slogan, and drank all the wine in the bowl.
No matter what they were thinking at the moment, the other people all shouted in unison.
“Work together!”
After drinking, Jiang Beiran was able to secure his position as the first in the Sheng Kingdom.
Real monopoly of power!
After fully acknowledging Jiang Beiran as the speaker, Ji Qinglin's originally messy head suddenly became much clearer.
After he sat down again, he looked at the Shi family badge in front of Jiang Beiran and asked, "Then what should we call you now, leader?"
Jiang Beiran shook his head decisively and said: "Of course it's not possible. The three states are already one, so how can we talk about an alliance?"
"What do you call me?"
Although Jiang Beiran felt that it was okay to call him by his name directly, it was still important for a leader to call him by his name. This was where his majesty lay. If he was too casual, he would lose a lot of prestige.
But as for the emperor's position, Jiang Beiran has no intention of returning to it. After all, he still prefers to stay behind the scenes. At the same time, Shengguo has not yet been transformed into a person who respects the royal family.
"Just call me...venerable."
"Sir... OK, as long as you think you can afford this title." After speaking, Ji Qinglin continued to ask: "Sir, can you tell us how much that waist badge actually carries."
Picking up the Xianpai Ling, Jiang Beiran smiled and replied: "Everyone just needs to know that it is enough to protect our country from worries."
