Chapter 109 Only I can do it
"Tariffs?" The dwarf captain was angry and funny. You need to pay tariffs when passing through the Huang Kingdom and the Sheep Kingdom, but they are both countries. What qualifications does Zhang Lu, a little lord, have to talk to them about tariffs?
"Of course, for tariffs, you need to pay a tax of 5% of the value of goods passing through my territory, but there is also an advantage, that is Newland City. As long as you pay the tariff, you can go directly up the river outside Newland City. Reaching the hinterland of Sheep Country will save you a lot of time and effort."
"However, I want to make friends with you. Within half a year, all dwarf caravans will be tariff-free. After half a year, tariffs on various goods will be recalculated, but they will all be based on this agreement."
The dwarf captain could naturally tell that Zhang Lu was using these six months to give himself a chance to develop. He squinted his eyes. He could not bargain with Zhang Lu now. It was the dry season recently and there was famine in the dwarf kingdom. In the eyes of the elves, Since the empire changed its queen, the relationship with the dwarf kingdom has been declining day by day, and the price of food has increased a lot.
Now he either has the confidence to take over the territory of Zhang Lu, or he can only pass it peacefully, and then go to the human country to buy food and then return to the dwarf kingdom to discuss it again.
Doesn’t Zhang Lu know about this? No, he knew, but what he wanted was just a signature from the captain, a document to silence others.
Anyway, neither the Yang Kingdom nor the Huang Kingdom can do this kind of thing, and really only Zhang Lu can do it, because the two countries that have been facing each other for a long time will not allow the other to build a city where the Fairyland is now, and Newland City has become a In the game of contention, as long as one party wants to do the same thing as Zhang Lu, the dwarves will unite with the other party.
And now Zhang Lu established the Immortal Territory without both parties knowing, and also built it into a city with preliminary defensive capabilities. In this way, if Huang Guo wanted to divide his troops to attack Newlan City and the Immortal Territory, the frontal battlefield would be Will there be a shortage of troops and a local city will be replaced by the small city of Newland City?
Therefore, the dwarves cannot unite any party to attack Zhang Lu, and due to the agreement signed with humans, they cannot send a large number of troops or high-level professionals across the mountains. Otherwise, they will cause attacks from other human kingdoms and provoke wars against the now famined dwarf kingdom. It's a stupid thing to say.
"This is an agreement. As long as you sign it, you can pass it at will." Zhang Lu handed over the document in his hand, which was only a rough version.
"I am not qualified to sign this kind of agreement. Please let me go first. I will report this matter to the king when I return to the country."
"This is a bit difficult to handle. My territory has always believed in doing things according to treaty rules. If we don't sign an agreement, we can't let him go. How about this friend return to his country to report first, and then come back after the situation is confirmed?"
Zhang Lu saw that the dwarf kingdom was short of food. The territory of the dwarf kingdom was barren and it was difficult to grow food. Therefore, for a long time, food had to be imported from elves and humans. However, the new elf queen increased the price of food after she came to power. , and launched something called a food assistance program.
As long as the dwarf kingdom signs this plan, the food of the elven empire will not increase the price, but will be given to them for free. However, the dwarf kingdom needs to open up a lot of permissions to the elven empire. Once signed, the dwarf kingdom will be step by step eliminated.
As for why Zhang Lu knew about this, because the largest grain merchant in the Huang Kingdom was the Li family, and Nina was the niece of the former queen, and they were all related to him, he naturally knew it.
The dwarf captain in front of him will definitely sign this agreement. The five percent tariff is already considered very small.
Seeing Zhang Lu's resolute attitude, the dwarf captain had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow it. He picked up a quill and signed his name on the agreement, but he held the musket in his hand tighter. If they entered the city later, If they find that the strength of this territory is not strong, then they don't mind erasing this territory from the map.
"Welcome, my friend." Zhang Lu put away one copy of the agreement and left the other copy with the dwarf captain. He waved to the back, and immediately a yellow scarf warrior opened the gate to the fairyland.
As the gate of the Fairyland opened, these dwarves also saw the situation in the Fairyland. This time was the time to show off their muscles. A ray of light rose into the sky, and a flying sword flew back and forth in the air, but now there was no Lock the target.
The previous sword tower was enough to go head-to-head with the fifth-level vampire leader. After so long, Ye Kui and the others would continue to build flying swords as long as they had extra materials and time, not to mention that the Sword Forging Villa had upgraded to another level. The current sword tower is enough to make several fifth-level professionals in the dwarf caravan feel threatened.
Not only the sword tower, but also the pagoda and stone gate of Lingxiao Palace all lit up their magic arrays. The combination of the magic arrays of the fourth-level Lingxiao Palace can put a lot of pressure on these dwarves.
They also saw the splendid building in the distance and looked at each other. The hands on the muskets were a little loose, but they were surprised when they slowly approached.
The patterns on the Lingxiao Palace are very fine, so fine that they are even more delicate than the elven handicrafts they have seen. Moreover, everything is so natural, without a trace of carving. There is no gap between the white railings and steps, as if there is a piece of stone. It was originally like this.
In other words, the builder used a huge stone larger than the palace to slowly carve and polish it to build the current Lingxiao Palace? is it possible?
They don't dare to take action anymore. Under the pressure of those flying swords and Lingxiao Palace, it's really not certain who will win and who will lose if they take action. After all, the army in this territory has not yet appeared.
At this time, Cain also flew over from the castle. Zhang Lu had been sending professionals to the castle during this period. After absorbing the blood of so many professionals, he had reached level five and also trained some subordinates.
"Vampire!" the dwarf captain exclaimed. Vampires, werewolves and other monsters are the enemies of all intelligent races, because the diet of these monsters includes humans and dwarves.
"No more panic." Zhang Lu reminded with a smile, "This vampire has been subdued by me and is not an enemy."
Sure enough, after Cain flew in front of Zhang Lu, he immediately knelt down and saluted, and his family members all surrendered to Zhang Lu.
"My lord, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are still so handsome and powerful."
Being able to control a fifth-level vampire means that Zhang Lu himself may be stronger. The dwarf captain secretly sweated. Fortunately, he did not choose to attack by force just now, otherwise he might have ruined the major events of the dwarf kingdom.
"I wonder if I can take a look at your goods. Maybe there are goods that need to be traded in our territory."
