298 Chapter 298 A Million Beast Crystals (1/2)

Zong Shou took the list and took a look before he laughed in delight. He thought back to how in the Kongqi sect, Qiao Han was conned by him badly. It wouldn't be surprising if he hated him to the bone.

As for the fire lightning arrow, intense ice arrow, he didn't hope that the Kongqi Sect would spend the effort to craft them for him. If they could be used then it was fine. Gantian Mountain had ten thousands of spirit masters, so they weren't worried that Kongqi Sect would give them fake products.

As for the Ren Bo's words of persuasion, he acted like he didn't hear it. Thinking to himself that even if he treated the messengers from Taoyun City well, would the City lord show mercy?

If the situation in the future changed and Gantian Mountain returns to their Pass glory, would Taoyun City treat him disrespectfully because of this small humiliation?

One of the topics on the list was the number of mind stones spent. All the arrows, weapons and equipment, grain, etc were prepared by Ren Bo and taken from the storage of Gantian Mountain. The one costing the most was the merchant ships gathered and the spiritual arrows bought from Kongqi Sect.

...Gantian Mountain weapon refiners could craft these fire lightning arrows and intense ice arrows, however, their numbers were too little. Even if they rushed it, they would only be able to make a thousand.

He spent a total of 5 thousand grade 4 beast crystals. It seems like the Kongqi Sect Deacon, Qiao hated him. The price was raised 4 times.

Apart from that, gathering merchant ships spent around a thousand crystals. If there were any loses, then they also had to compensate after.

The current Gantian Mountain treasury was all dried up and in the end, he had to take out money from his pocket.

Zong Shou didn't mind, keeping the inventory. Then he smiled at Ren Bo, ”Prime minister! About these beast crystals and the 300 three armed spiritual crossbows, I don't need the country treasury to compensate me. Treat it as my initial investment. You only need to give me 10% of the profits from the hunt.”

Ren Bo's face turned green. He felt extremely weird. Wasn't Gantian Mountain yours? Now that Gantian Mountain was in danger, any smart ruler would take out money from their pockets to strengthen the city.

This ruler, not only looking tightly at his wallet, was trying to find ways to take money from Gantian Mountain City.

Did he not know the saying? If there is no skin, where will the hair grow on? If Gantian Mountain is gone, could he keep the money in his pocket?

During these few days of observation, Ren Bo realized that his new ruler might be extremely intelligent, many things he understood instantly. He also had many amazing ideas and was good at politics. However, his personality was too weird.

To say he was stingy didn't make sense. During the building of the bank, he didn't hesitate to take out the money as the start-up fund.

Ren Bo didn't understand so he could only say unhappily, ”At most, I can only give 5%.”

In the past, when the Gantian Mountain sent cloud ships down to hunt, even if Zong Weiran personally led, at most they only got 100 thousand grade 4 beast crystals of gains. Even if the spiritual wave was coming and the number of monsters and beasts increased, with his calculation, the amount they get wouldn't exceed that number.

5% of gains would be 5 thousand grade 4 beast crystals.

In exchange for the 300 three armed spiritual crossbows as well as those grade 2 spiritual arrows were a good deal and a huge earn.

This time since Taoyun, Blazing flame, and Yunxia Mountain all joint hands, then it was a good idea for them to prepare some killing weapons.

”5%?”

Zong Shou's brows raised, unhappiness revealing on his face. Then, he agreed, ”Okay! However, you need to inform the various races of this matter…”

Then Ren Bo handed over a beast leather. After Zong Shou opened it, he saw that on it were all the names of officials, which was the 6 department official system and suggestions for choices of officials.

It was similar to the 3 provinces 6 prefecture system of the central dynasties. However, it wasn't an exact copy. Based on the situation in Gantian Mountain, just a light modification made it more suitable for a desolate land like Donglin Cloud Continent.

As for those officials, one could see that Ren Bo didn't have any selfish intentions. The people he chose were people he recently researched, people with a lot of ability and whose morals were all top class.

Some of them even had grievances with Ren Bo.

Zong Shou didn't say anything, keeping this list into his sleeves too. Then he smiled, ”This matter doesn't need to be rushed. Let's talk about it when I return from the cloud ocean. I haven't established dominance and prestige. Changing the system will cause people to be fearful. Gantian Mountain's most important focus now has to be the current hunt.”

Ren Bo was furious when he heard that. Gantian Mountain's current organization was not far from the six department system. Zong Weiran had made a lot of effort on it, and the political system was much better than other cities. It, now, only lacked a name. Giving a name for the system would let people feel more secure.

Which was why when Zong Shou suggested the six department system, he didn't oppose it. It was because of the early stage preparations were all already done.

Then, he had some understanding. Did Zong Shou do that because he didn't trust him? Did he need to carefully observe the people on the list?

When he thought about it like that, Ren Bo was speechless. The heart of a ruler was so indiscernible. Even if he knew that the methods of Zong Shou were the right way of the ruler path, he couldn't help but feel demoralized. He almost wanted to just hand his robe and leave.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
