Become the Archbishop from Douluo

Chapter 87 The Ambition of Leng Xiyue
Duke Linsen is alone and has no children. Naturally, no one can pass on this title and the fiefdom of Xingdou Town. After his death, it will naturally return to the Heaven Dou Empire.

And Leng Xiyue came up with this idea. If Lin Sen could take over the ownership of Xingdou Town, it would undoubtedly be an excellent move.

If I can control Xingdou Town with Lin Sen's approval, with my ability, I will own all the thousands of elite hunters who are waiting for work here. Advanced weapons are not a problem either.

Compared with Soto City, this is a more suitable starting point for forming a new army. If it is well managed and the scale expands in the future, this mature system can also be spread. At the same time, you can also find a soul master and ordinary people here. The balance between them paves the way for the future.

When Leng Xiyue said this, everyone was shocked. What is Xingdou Town?That must belong to the royal family's territory, and everyone has acquiesced to this fact.

But they also forgot one thing, that is, Lin Sen is still alive, and he really has the final say on the ownership of Xingdou Town.

Lin Sen couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, little girl, you have great ambitions, but the basis for me to hand over this place to the royal family is to let them maintain this forest. What condition?"

Now that she decided to take down this Xingdou Town, Leng Xiyue immediately made a calculation, smiled slightly, and did not directly answer Lin Sen's question, but looked at Xue Qinghe: "This forest is so huge, how can the royal family maintain it? "

"Of course, let the nobles of each territory handle it themselves." Xue Qinghe replied.

"This can't be done, it's too perfunctory, those nobles are here to make money, everyone knows this well, the ancient trees in the Star Dou Great Forest are also quite valuable, how can they be safely handed over to a group of greedy people? "

"Miss Leng, you can't talk nonsense about this." Xue Qinghe was a little anxious, although everyone knew what was going on, but he couldn't expose this in front of Lin Sen.

If Lin Sen is not willing to sell, then he can’t sell it to other nobles today. If he can’t sell it, he won’t have money. It is estimated that no one would have thought of expanding the territory for hundreds of years.

"If it were me, I would be able to own Xingdou Town and the surrounding territories that belong to the Duke. I would definitely use my law enforcement powers to recruit a large number of unemployed hunters and let them protect the forest. .”

"But if you want to make money and deforestation, you will have to impose strict fines. Rebels will be killed on the spot, and the land will be confiscated based on their behavior. Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Leng Xiyue smiled slightly, and what she said was Very penetrating.

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they all feel incredible, if this is done, who would dare to buy land from those nobles who are rushing to make quick money?
People come here to be grandpas, but now you want them to be your grandchildren with an unwarranted right to enforce the law, that's not going to work, the world still has the final say.

But Ning Rongrong thought of the mass production of weapons by the sect recently, if a large number of ordinary people were armed, given them jobs, and asked them to defend the forest, then the people sent by these nobles might not be enough.

"Of course, for the benefit of the empire, this matter should not be made public. After those people pay, I will take over Xingdou Town and implement such a law. If they can't bear it and sell the land at a low price, then I will accept all the orders. The notoriety caused by this is also borne by me, the royal family is not depleted, if it is like the two who use the forest to develop resources, then naturally there is no need to worry about it."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue fell into deep thought.

From Xue Qinghe's point of view, this matter is undoubtedly beneficial and harmless. There is only one core appeal of the royal family, and that is to expand the territory and use these lands to raise military expenses.

If the land is sold to the nobles, it will also have the tax exemption policy that the nobles have. The rest are less than [-] local residents. If it is tight, there is a risk of rebellion.

The Tiandou Empire's autonomous dominion only has a central part, and the royal family can't reach so far. Even if this Xingdou Town takes over, it will be used as a bargaining chip to exchange something with the nearby Balak Kingdom, and the actual value is not great.

But if it is handed over to Leng Xiyue, it will not only weaken the power of these small nobles, but also be a target to attract firepower. The royal family can completely pick themselves out. On Xiyue's side, it's almost as good as prostitution for nothing.

As for whether they will recruit local refugees to form an army or something, everyone is doing such things. Like Qibao Liulizong, there are almost 10 private army guards from top to bottom. They are tens of thousands, and so are the city lords and governors of various places. After all, the Tiandou Empire's political system is so loose, as long as everyone can get together to form an army of one million when fighting foreign wars.

Now Xingdou Town can expand the territory of a province, not to mention that Leng Xiyue only intends to recruit no more than [-] local residents here. What Lak Kingdom should worry about has little to do with the royal family.

And if you look at it from the perspective of Qian Renxue, of course she would also like the Wuhun Palace to have a foothold here. In the future, when Xingdou Town grows and is upgraded to a city, the Wuhun Palace can also establish a branch hall here, and it will be possible to act in the future. Much more convenient.

Hearing Leng Xiyue's words, Lin Sen rolled his eyes, and soon understood Leng Xiyue's intention: "Little friend Leng's move is very clever, I don't have much time left, and I'm worried about this happening, if my friend It would be great to have a complete system, and the old man is also willing to give up the duke position."

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Lin Sen's eyes: "I don't know what the Crown Prince thinks?"

"The ownership of Xingdou Town is the Duke's private matter, so Qinghe has no objection." Xue Qinghe laughed.

"Okay, the next step is to divide the specific land and negotiate the price."

Soon, a group of maids cleaned up the table, spread a new tablecloth, and took out a large map.

Determining the share is one aspect, but the specific location is also particular. Naturally, such a large piece of land has good and bad, and the corresponding value is also different.

It stands to reason that the selection of this land should be done after the Star Dou Wall is built, but as the top dignitaries, naturally they will not follow the same set of rules as the nobles outside, choose the land first, give money, and leave. It's that simple to send people to run it after it's built.

Negotiations in this area are really related to interests, and it is also the reason why the two major sects send their direct disciples here. This kind of negotiation is extremely tough. The Blue Lightning Overlord Sect is relatively poor, and the sect master only needs to be concerned about this aspect. It is enough to have a certain understanding not to be deceived by the people below, but for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the successor's business vision is extremely important.

Although a young lady like Ning Rongrong spends money lavishly, she is also quite sensitive to money. She only glanced at the topographic map and circled a large piece of land she wanted.

Leng Xiyue saw that the place Ning Rongrong chose had mountains and rivers, and it was undoubtedly the most fertile area in the whole area.

Yu Tianheng was much more casual. He spent a large piece near the Star Wall. The quality of the land was uneven, but considering the purpose, it was normal.

After the land was drawn, the next step was to discuss the price. Naturally, this matter couldn't be discussed clearly, so Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong and the old soul saint she brought went into the next meeting room.

According to Ning Rongrong, this time her father gave her the principal of 200 million gold soul coins, and the value of this land is roughly the same amount on the surface. There is no objection to reporting Xue Qinghe directly at this price, but she The old man said that the part that can be cut off is her pocket money, so Ning Rongrong is full of fighting spirit.

After a while, Ning Rongrong came out proudly, and it looked like he had made a lot of pocket money.

Yu Tianheng didn't care about this matter, he just went through a process, just pay the money and leave, and it was more attractive to him to go back to practice and fight.

Seeing that everyone had no objection to this, Xue Qinghe said: "Since you have already divided the territory, let's have dinner first." Then he clapped his hands.

A group of maids filed in, removed the map, and then set up a table of delicacies.

As soon as the food was served, the atmosphere that had become serious because of the business discussion just now relaxed, and everyone chatted happily again.

"Brother Ao, where do you live? If I run away from home in the future, why don't I join you?" Ning Rongrong was very interested in Oscar, a young man who was born with a supporting system full of soul power and who dared to duel with Yu Tianheng. , Not to mention whether he can pass the fight, having this courage is already very powerful.

"I have no family. I was rescued by Dean Flender when I was a child, and I have been living in Shrek Academy. Now, of course, I practice with Master and Senior Sister. Master has reborn me, and I can only repay it by being a cow and a horse in this life. "Oscar actually likes Ning Rongrong, a cute little girl, but after being with Leng Xiyue for so long, he has seen many beautiful girls, so he doesn't want to kneel and lick like a housewife.

What's more, the other party's status is extraordinary. Before the master didn't speak, he didn't dare to show any unnecessary emotions, and showed a wave of loyalty by the way.

"Shrek Academy?" Ning Rongrong recalled it carefully, and found that he didn't have the slightest impression.

On the contrary, Xue Qinghe said with a smile: "Shrek Academy, I heard about it from the education committee of the Royal Academy. Now the star teacher of the Royal Academy, Qin Ming, is from Shrek Academy, and the rest are from all walks of life. There are also people who have joined the Royal Knights, which can be described as a mainstay."

"It's a pity that the academy is located in Soto City, which belongs to the Barak Kingdom. It's not easy for the royal family to poach people directly."

Speaking of this, Xue Qinghe cast a vague glance at Leng Xiyue.

Shrek Academy. It turns out that Leng Xiyue's plan is this place?If it was because he accidentally discovered Oscar, a genius full of soul power, that he committed himself to this, then that's true. It's unnecessary.

No matter how prominent Leng Xiyue's status is, it's not worth wasting time in that small Shrek Academy. Tell Bibi Dong about this matter, and send a few people, even a few elders, to persuade her. Flender, a soul sage, naturally wouldn't be ignorant of flattery, but it could only explain that there was something she didn't know about it.

But it doesn't matter, once we meet tonight, we will know everything, unless Leng Xiyue doesn't want to tell her.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's heart became dull. Speaking of which, these wild boys beside Leng Xiyue don't know what their origins are, especially the one named Tianmeng, who walked so close to Leng Xiyue. Annoy people.

"So that's how it is. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to visit. Maybe I will stay there and study with you, Brother Ao for a while." Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar and said with a smile.

She doesn't have any other thoughts, if she can stay with Oscar and Leng Xiyue, then she should also be able to gain some glory and strengthen her body, right?

Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong, who was skinny and tender, and said noncommittally: "It's nothing to visit, I will definitely host a banquet then. But if you want to come to our Shrek to practice, then you have to be prepared to endure hardships."

The implication is that Ning Rongrong, a pampered lady, is not suitable.

Ning Rongrong heard the meaning of these words, and instead became rebellious: "Is that so? Then I will go and have a look after a while. I don't believe that anything can be difficult for me."

In her heart, the so-called suffering is just the level of being locked up by her father to read books for several days in a row. The growing environment is different, so how can one imagine Oscar suffering.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was full of interest, Oscar couldn't say anything to hurt him, so he could only chat with each other.

It can be said that everyone enjoyed the meal, and Xue Qinghe had to worry about the nobles from all walks of life continuing to divide the cake and conduct transactions. He was busy with business, so he took the lead to leave.

Ning Rongrong originally wanted to go back to his room to rest, but in order to provide them with a chance to be together, Tianmeng proposed to let Ning Rongrong and Oscar Xuanwu practice spiritual power with him, and how much they can learn depends on their understanding.

Of course Ning Rongrong would not refuse. After all, although Tianmeng is somewhat inferior to the dazzling Leng Xiyue, she is undeniably a genius rarely seen in the mainland. Having such an opportunity to watch is also very beneficial to her own cultivation. help.

As for Xuanwu, it was completely taken by the way. Leng Xiyue obviously has something important to do tonight, so it's better not to get in the way.

Leng Xiyue, on the other hand, was going to go back to the guest room to dress herself up, go to Qian Renxue at night, and draw up a charter with her, and discuss with Lin Sen the specific matters related to Xingdou Town tomorrow.

Arriving at the guest room prepared by the castle, Leng Xiyue lay directly on the big soft bed and began to think about the next thing.

In fact, Leng Xiyue didn't know how to control such a town. Her idea was to send a confidant lady to bring a puppet guard of dozens of people over, and then recruit hunter groups on this basis to maintain local rule, but there was a problem. Yes. Are those young ladies really capable of taking on this role?
After thinking about it, I am afraid that there is only one person who can be the leader of the entire Xingdou Town, and who is capable enough, can convince the crowd, and is relatively easy to subdue.

"Xiaobai, I want Duke Linsen to continue his life so that he can work for me. Is there anything you can do?"
