Original God, starting from the fate of meeting

"No, compared to the handkerchief, I...I also have something to tell you."

No, you have to imitate Ruo Tuo and invite you to enter the urn, right?

After Qin Yan's encounter with Ruotuo, he always had an indescribable sense of déjà vu when the devil of the opposite sex invited him to be alone with him.

I always feel like the other person is lusting after his body...

When did he become so popular? It was obvious that he didn't even have a friend of the opposite sex before he became an adult.

Qin Yan clearly remembered that before his family fell into decline and before he obtained the system, his relationship with the opposite sex was almost non-existent.

It's not that no girls like him. It would be strange if no one likes Qin Yan when he grows up to be so handsome, but he himself is not good at socializing with girls.

If he was really good at sociability, Qin Yan would not fall behind in his family life and go out to pay off his debts by hunting slimes. Wouldn't it be more delicious to just find a beautiful girl and a rich woman to "hungry, hungry, rice"?

Heulia seemed to know what Qin Yan was thinking, and quickly waved her hand and said: "Just for a while, I won't delay you for too long, and... I won't do anything weird."

Not being able to do strange things was obviously a hint to a certain reckless Dragon King. Heulia went out, then turned back and waited in front of Ruo Tuo Mansion. During this period, no one came in or out of the gate, and when Qin Yan came out, his face was... Beautifully decorated.

You can use your feet to figure out who did it.

However, Heulia had to admit that Ruoduo was really capable of action. As soon as he said that he was more satisfied with the next step, he immediately put it into action.

What stands out is a race against time.

Speaking of time, Heulia was actually quite worried about Qin Yan's 'time'. Her stay was actually based on this consideration.

"Okay, where should we go to talk?" Qin Yan asked. He was free all day today, and although it seemed like a lot of things had happened, it was actually only half the morning.

"Go, let's talk in your office?" Heulia actually wanted to say, go to the end of the world.

But seeing the "smell" of Ziruotuo on Qin Yan's body, he felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he suggested a location very considerately for Qin Yan.

This site selection can be said to be very particular. It can avoid Gan Yu, who is likely to be at Qin Yan's home, and also avoid Qin Yan's confidantes such as Gui Zhong, Liu Yun, Ge Chen and so on.

Of course, the main reason is because Heulia does not have her own place to stay in Liyue Port. Although Wan Yan and others who came from the Land of Salt have purchased real estate in Liyue Port, most of them are densely populated. The shop is not suitable as a place for conversation.

Heulia has already begun to think about buying a property somewhere after this time.

Qin Yan nodded. The office is indeed a good place, and it won't be easily misunderstood.

As the current supreme executive of Liyue Port, his office and residence naturally have the highest specifications and confidentiality levels.

So no matter what Heulia wants to say to Qin Yan, she won't let anyone know about it in his office, which is indeed suitable for stealing... conversations.

Qin Yan's mind twitched and he almost lost his mind.

All I can say is that it's all Ruo Tuo's fault. He made him very angry and his mind was filled with some not-so-serious things.

"It's not too late, let's go."

Chapter 265: Debts paid with flesh and blood

After Qin Yan listened to Heulia's request, he fell into a brief silence.

It’s not that it’s difficult. After all, integrating the Land of Salt into Liyue Port seems troublesome, but it’s actually quite troublesome. Whether it’s beliefs or living habits, the people of the Land of Salt are all the same as Liyue Port. The people of Liyue Port are very different.

However, some things cannot be ignored just because of trouble. Even if Heulia doesn't mention it, Qin Yan will make some arrangements for the matter.

From a development perspective, there is no doubt that the advantages of integrating the land in the salt outweigh the disadvantages.

Now that Heulia took the initiative to make this request, Qin Yan decided to raise the priority of this matter. On the one hand, it was to give Heulia face, and on the other hand, Heulia was a salt. The Demon God of the Middle Land, with her help, the resistance encountered in integrating the Salt Middle Land will undoubtedly be much smaller.

But it’s not like nothing…

You must know that mergers and acquisitions between chambers of commerce will have various obstacles, let alone mergers between two countries.

The Land of Salt cannot be compared with Liyue Port, but it is a country with a long history and a unique culture belonging to the people of Salt.

There is resistance, but under the wheel of history, both humans and gods must make way for it. The reunification of Liyue is the general trend. It follows the laws of nature and will not be changed by the will of the devil. What's more, even the devil has no objections. .

Seeing that Qin Yan didn't answer, Heulia asked anxiously: "Isn't it possible?"

"It's not impossible, but I'm thinking about how to use what means to bring the Land of Salt into the jurisdiction of Liyue Port as quickly and reliably as possible. After all, the Land of Salt also has an administrative system. The interest relationships inside are complicated and it is indeed difficult to handle them properly.”

Qin Yan's answer made Heulia slightly relieved, and also a little embarrassed. She also knew how difficult it was to achieve her request. Maybe from a long-term perspective, it would not be good for Liyue Port and the Land of Salt. All of great benefit.

But it is really of no benefit to the current Qin Yan, and he has to work hard for it...

Heulia felt that she owed Qin Yan more and more, and combined with what she had owed before, she felt like she was always in debt but never had the chance to repay.

hiss……

If this continues, will we really have to repay the debt with human beings?

Heulia suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Qin Yan said that he would use the fastest and most reliable way to accelerate the integration of the two places. Does that mean that his "time is running out"?

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Ruoduo made such a 'rude' move... Well, Heulia felt that Ruotuo's move had nothing to do with how much 'time' Qin Yan had left, it was purely It was the woman's own decision.

Even if there was no such thing, Heulia still felt that Ruoduo could do such an outrageous thing as forcibly kissing Qin Yan.

Should I say that I am worthy of Ruo Tuo?

It was easy to do things that no one else could do.

"Well, Qin Yan, how much time do you have?" Heulia asked carefully.

Then he was afraid that Qin Yan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. If you need my help, please just tell me. No matter what it is, I am willing to help..."

Are you really willing to help no matter what the favor is?Qin Yan looked at Heulia, feeling a little scared when he saw her.

You don't want her to do that kind of thing, right?

It's not impossible, but it would be too fast. In fact, Heulia had also imagined taking it slow, at least starting with holding hands.

For further intimacy, you should at least have a general understanding of each other after being together for a month, right?

Just when Heulia was thinking wildly, Qin Yan made his request.

"If Heulia is free, can you tell me about the Land of Salt? After all, my understanding of the Land of Salt is definitely not as good as yours, the Demon God of the Land of Salt."

Oh, that's it.

Heulia became visibly disappointed. She thought...

Forget it, let's not talk about this.

Heulia felt that she might have been infected by Ruoduo, why was she thinking about all those useless things in her mind.

Well, it’s all Ruotu’s fault.

But does this count as a request?It's obviously because of her request, so it's normal for her to put in some effort, right?

"This is enough." Qin Yan saw Heulia's expression and knew what she was thinking.

After all, you can't help much. Qin Yan didn't say this. If he told the truth, it would hurt people's hearts.

Heulia wanted to say something else, but she didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, she honestly explained to Qin Yan the matters involved in the Land of Salt.

Some information involving the secrets of the land in the salt was not concealed at all, and was revealed in full.

If Wan Yan, Wan Yu and others knew what happened in Qin Yan's office, they would probably shout: "Your Majesty, why are you plotting rebellion?"

According to the information Heulia said, Qin Yan made a rough summary and had a rough understanding of the land in the salt.

However, in terms of the territorial economy, Qin Yan still couldn't hold back when he saw that the salt industry accounted for a larger proportion than all other revenues combined.

What kind of abnormal economy is this?Is it really such a large territory that is supported entirely by the salt produced by Heulia?

It’s true that the Demon God is the primary productive force, but it didn’t say that the Demon God should be used as a messenger, right?

Heulia didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but when she saw Qin Yan listing the form, she felt something was wrong.

It seems that the land in the salt relies too much on itself?

After learning from Qin Yan these days, I also realized that the prosperity of a territory is not supported by the devil.

A place like the Land of Salt is undoubtedly a deformed economy.

It’s no wonder that in the original history, without Heulia, the land in the salt quickly fell apart and sought the protection of a new demon.

However, this model is very common in this era, and Liyue Port has become an outlier.

"Actually, apart from the economic aspect..." Heulia also wanted to save something.

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, and then pointed to another table, which clearly recorded the various families in charge of the land in the salt.

It has become solidified over the past hundred years, and most of the so-called leaders are hereditary from father to son, with few people from civilian backgrounds occupying high positions.

"This..." Heulia said bravely: "Actually, the people of the Land of Salt live a pretty good life..."

Indeed, Qin Yan nodded. Compared with the people under the banners of the Whirlpool Demon God and the Sea Demon God, the people of the Land of Salt are indeed living well.

At least it can ensure that everyone does not starve to death.

"Indeed, it means that once the salt industry is hit, you will not be able to survive." Qin Yan knew that like the last time the Demon God of Salt helped clean up the filth from the seabed, he almost took his family away with him.

If Liyue Port hadn't provided jobs for Yanzhong Land, I'm afraid many families in Yanzhong Land wouldn't be able to survive.

The shortcomings of the Land of Salt are so obvious that Qin Yan can make the Land of Salt fall apart without even using force.

He only needs to issue a trade ban on the land in the salt, and the land in the salt will collapse on its own.

After all, Qin Yan, who came from later generations, knew how to make salt. Although the production cost was not as high as that of the Land of Salt, Liyue Port only needed salt, and the Land of Salt could not live without Liyue Port.

Heulia puffed up her cheeks, she couldn't say that. Looking at all of Liyue, which demon god's territory can withstand the sanctions of Liyue Port.

Even if economic sanctions are not enough, if military sanctions are directly used, who can withstand the coming of the five demon gods?

Even all the remaining demon gods in Liyue Port combined cannot defeat this power!

Morax and Rudo alone are enough to kill indiscriminately.

"Does it mean that the land in the salt is really worthless?" Heulia was almost beaten to the point of losing her confidence by Qin Yan.

The territory that I have worked so hard for so many years must be somewhat valuable to be honest.

Qin Yan thought for a while and said: "At least it can produce salt, which can save Liyue Port a lot of time in developing the salt industry. There is a mature system that can be moved here directly."

"That's okay." Heulia breathed a sigh of relief. If the land in the salt was really worthless, Heulia felt that she asked Qin Yan to merge the two places. It was her personal desire that was imposed on Qin Yan. , the favor owed is huge.

...But after thinking about it, she owed a lot now, and she couldn't think of any good way to pay it off anyway.

Even if the land in salt is given to Qin Yan, Qin Yan probably won't take it. It would be a pity to throw it away if it is tasteless.

"I have already thought about the general plan. I will tell you some details next, and you will personally tell your subordinates when you return." Qin Yan said that it would be better to let Heulia do this kind of work of persuading surrender.

If he goes, the people of the Land of Salt will most likely mistakenly think that he has bewitched the Demon God of Salt.

Maybe there will be some weird rumors, such as that he seduced the Salt God with his beauty and asked him to offer the land in the salt.

This is a huge slander to Qin Yan and Heulia.

What a joke, how could he, Qin Yan, eat the soft rice of a woman?

He, Qin Yan, had never been weaker than anyone else in his life, how could he be compromised because of a mere amount of money?

"I understand." Heulia nodded, indicating that she had understood the details. After returning, she asked Wan Yan to bring a message to Wan Yu who was far away in the land of salt, asking him to cooperate with her actions.

Wan Yu, who was far away in the land of salt, obviously didn't know that the way to deal with him and the land under his feet had been discussed in just an hour.

There was not even a selling price, which was equivalent to being given away to Liyue Port by Heulia for nothing.

Qin Yan does not value the 'nobles' of the Land of Salt. What he values ​​is the technicians of the Land of Salt. Therefore, if those 'nobles' want to continue to maintain their wealth, there is a high probability that Qin Yan will not do so. It's possible.

This will inevitably arouse some voices of opposition, but it doesn't matter. Qin Yan likes these voices and will directly arrange for a house raid when the time comes.

What money, people.

Forehead drops, all forehead drops.

------

"Lord Salt God, is what you said true?" Wan Yan asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I'm not joking with you. You go back and inform those guys in the Salt Land and actively cooperate with Liyue Port's demands in all aspects." Heulia nodded and said.

In the end, she seemed to be a little soft-hearted, and reminded her: "Don't think about meaningless resistance. Obedience can at least lead a relatively prosperous life, but resistance...even I will not stand on your side this time." .”

After all, strictly speaking, he should already be in the Liyue Port camp.

What she will enjoy then is the incense offerings from the people of Liyue Port, and with Qin Yan's relationship, Heulia will not turn her elbows outward no matter what.

"No, no, no, you are worrying too much. We are very happy." Wan Yan's tone was a bit happy. He didn't know what his brother was thinking. Anyway, from a personal perspective, he was eager to join Liyue Port.

Different from the first time he went to Liyue Port, during the time he was working in Liyue Port, Wan Yan witnessed with his own eyes the city's growth from prosperity to incomparable prosperity.
