Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

What right do humans have to be on equal footing with the demon race?

Furthermore, and most importantly, the chieftains of these four clans are all more or less involved in human business, which is a considerable source of income!

"What the city lord says is absolutely right."

Just as the Thunder Bear Clan Chief was about to refute, the Azure Clan Chief spoke first.

"In that case, my Canglang clan will certainly do our utmost to support Lord City Lord's decision."

As soon as the Cang Clan Chief finished speaking, everyone stared at Cang Jingkong as if they had seen a ghost.

Chapter 655 It's Not That Simple

"Clan Chief Cang!"

"Cang Jingkong! Why did you agree to that!"

"Clan Chief Cang! Do you know how much our income will be affected by giving up the trade in humans?!"

Half an hour later, Bai Yeye left, and the others who remained in the restaurant were unhappy.

This princess, who was accustomed to a life of luxury, raised three issues during the dinner.

The first thing is about the human race.

From this day forward, Crocodile City must strictly abide by the laws designated by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and is prohibited from selling or enslaving humans! Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden to serve humans on the dinner table!

This is absolutely killing them!

That's indeed how the laws of the Demon Kingdom stipulate it.

But this is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!

It's the world of the demon race!

Humans should have the same status as demons in the world.

Isn't that nonsense?

You must be kidding me!

So what if demons eat people?!

Is it strange that demons eat people?!

Besides! Do you know how much we profit from trafficking humans?!

You just stop like that? What about the money we lost? Who will compensate us?!

The second thing is that Bai Yeye wants to restore peace to Crocodile City!

The implication is that Bai Yeye intends to crack down severely on the illegal and criminal activities in Crocodile City.

Let me give you a heads-up: I have nothing to do with what happened before!

But from now on! If I catch you, you'd better watch out!

The third thing is that Shiraha Ye actually proposed to trade with the Centaur Kingdom!

They disagreed with the first thing, and they disagreed even more with the third thing!

After establishing trade relations with the Centaur Kingdom, how can I earn some money?

The relationship between the Centaur Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom is very bad.

The Centaur Kingdom is more accurately described as a nation composed of numerous tribes than as a country called the Centaur Kingdom.

It's true that everyone in the Centaur Kingdom is of the same race, and the Centaur Kingdom was once unified.

But now it has split into many tribes.

These tribes fought their own battles, as for the Centaur royal family...

Hehe.

The Centaur Kingdom's royal family is now just a relatively large tribe; who among the other tribes would want to bother with them?

Moreover, the land of centaurs is all grassland, and the people are nomadic with low productivity.

What to do about low productivity?

Then the only option is to rob!

Therefore, the tribes of Centaur Kingdom would always plunder the border, and then leave after they had done so!

However, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons will not allow you to plunder at will.

Those border demon soldiers are no pushovers.

Therefore, there is a high degree of risk involved in the Centaur Kingdom's attempt to exploit them.

It can be said that the Centaur Kingdom traded their lives for resources.

What should we do?

The Centaur Kingdom needs the wine, armor, spears, and winter food from the Demon Kingdom!

Moreover, the Centaur Kingdom also really likes the silk produced by the Demon Kingdom.

As for the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the horses raised by the Centaur Kingdom are also in great need, in addition to the minerals from the Centaur Kingdom!

Therefore, Crocodile City and Centaur Kingdom would open black markets.

Some nobles from the Centaur Kingdom would trade with the four great families of Crocodile City.

In other words, the nobles of Centaur Kingdom and the four great families of Crocodile City completely monopolized the trade between the two sides.

A monopoly indicates that there are huge profits involved!

But now you're actually proposing a legitimate, open trade agreement?!

This means that ordinary people in Crocodile City can trade with ordinary people in Centaur Kingdom!

This won't do!

What about my interests?!

How did I manage to sell the goods I bought in the Centaur Kingdom at such a high price?

It is said that cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents.

The first and third decisions made by Shiraba Ye were practically killing their horse!

Do not!

It's even more painful than killing their horses!

Have any city lords previously proposed establishing trade relations with the Centaur Kingdom?

some.

Moreover, it wasn't just one city lord who proposed it, but in the end, none of those city lords were able to become officials!

But now, it is Bai Yeye, the city lord with the strongest background.

Whether she can do it or not is really unclear.

never mind!

Let's not even talk about whether this white leaf yam can be made.

Besides these three things, what bothered them the most was...

Yesterday, it was Cang Jingkong who summoned his group over!

She also told herself, "Shiraba is nothing to fear, we should just do what we need to do."

But now.

At the previous banquet, Cang Jingkong acted like Bai Yeye's dog.

No matter what Bai Yeye said, Cang Jingkong agreed and even expressed his full cooperation.

The contrast is just too great!

The patriarchs of these three clans all suspected that Cang Jingkong had been bribed by Bai Yeye within just one day.

"Cang Jingkong, tell me, what exactly did Bai Yeye give you in return? Did he promise to grant you an official title and a noble name? Or did he give you some rare and precious treasure?!"

The chieftain of the Thunder Bear Clan was furious.

No!

She needs to give herself an explanation!

"Please be patient, everyone, and listen to what I have to say."

Cang Jingkong shook his head, telling them to calm down first.

"you say!"

The Thunder Bear Clan Chief was so angry he was about to explode with blood.

"Baiye did not promise me anything, and I did not receive any benefits from Baiye."

But think about it.

Even if we strongly opposed it at the time, so what?

Would Bai Yeye really give up her own ideas just because we object?

Will not.

Not only will it not deter them, but this Baiye Ye might even escalate the situation.

This is a hothouse flower; everyone is used to her being submissive. Our resistance will only make her more interested.

Just because we agree to something doesn't mean we have to do it.

We've agreed, but we'll still do our business as usual, isn't that enough?

how?

Could it be that this city lord is going to order our arrest?

Even if this city lord orders our arrest, how will she do it?

With just the few soldiers of the Crocodile City government?

Ha ha.

Those officers and soldiers are all our people, why would they listen to her?

Just you wait and see.

As long as we outwardly comply while inwardly disobeying, it won't be long before this city lord slinks back to the capital in disgrace.

Cang Jingkong walked to the windowsill, looked out the window with a slight smile on his lips, and his eyes seemed to hold a hint of reminiscence and a complicated expression.

"A place like ours is not a place for delicate flowers to come to; otherwise, they would simply be buried by the sandstorms of this frontier..."

......

"Your Highness, congratulations! It seems that it is your majesty that has made those four city lords submit."

Sitting on the street, the maid beside her was happy for Shiraba Ye.

Today's banquet went exceptionally well.

"Xiao Tao, you're overthinking it."

Bai Ye shook his head with a wry smile, looking ahead.

"It's not that simple."

Chapter 656 Is something bothering you?

Bai Yeye returned to the city lord's mansion, but her expression did not seem so good.

When Su Li saw it, he didn't dare to ask too many questions. After all, what could a ten-year-old kid like him understand?

And even if I asked, would Bai Yeye tell me?

That's absolutely impossible.
