Chapter 146
The reception room of the mansion of the Lord of Cuisi City.
Cheng Yu crossed his legs, sat at the table, and spread his five fingers, "To redeem your three thousand navy, this number is required."
"How much is this? Five hundred gold coins?"
Looking at Cheng Yu's five fingers, Bunik guessed.
Cheng Yu shook his head.
"Five thousand gold coins?"
Bunik's eyes were filled with nervousness and anxiety, and he was sweating profusely.
"No, fifty thousand gold coins."
Cheng Yu said directly.
"You are asking for too much?"
Bunik's eyes twitched wildly. Fifty thousand gold coins, that is five percent of his property, not a small amount.
If the people trapped on Bailu Island were three thousand slaves or three thousand civilians, Bunik would abandon them without hesitation.
But the people trapped on Bailu Island were three thousand well-trained navy.
The lord governed a region, and he needed military force as support, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the people.
The three thousand navy are all first-class warriors, a very important military force.
In any case, Bunik will not give up this military force.
"Your three thousand navy are in my territory, eating my food, using my things, and living in my house. In addition, I also sent people to teach them the dust-making technology for free, an additional skill and an additional employment direction. I reduce the oil and meat in their diet, help them lose weight, and avoid diseases such as high blood lipids and fatty liver. I let them strengthen their exercise every day and cultivate the spirit of hard work and endurance. It is normal to ask for more ransom."
"???"
Bunk heard Cheng Yu's words, Cheng Yu seemed to be a kind man.
But 50,000 gold coins are indeed too much.
Converted to RMB, it is about 500 million.
"Boy, are you here to make trouble on purpose?"
At this time, the man next to Bunik slammed the table and stood up, his burly body exuding a strong aura, obviously a warrior above the third level.
There were many soldiers lying in ambush in the rooms around the reception hall. All they needed was a command from Bunick, and all the soldiers would rush out and surround Cheng Yu, making it impossible for Cheng Yu to escape.
"I'm not looking for trouble. I'm just telling you that the three thousand navy soldiers are living well with me."
Cheng Yu glanced at the burly man next to Bunick. He didn't take a mere third-level warrior seriously.
"I'll give you 25,000 gold coins first, and the rest will be given after you release the people."
Bunick had been observing Cheng Yu's words and deeds since Cheng Yu arrived at the reception hall.
He found that Cheng Yu remained unusually calm from beginning to end.
Even at a certain moment, Cheng Yu looked at them like a tiger looking at a group of lambs.
Bunick pulled the burly man next to him and told him not to be impulsive.
"Okay."
Cheng Yu accepted Bunick's conditions.
He used to sell fried rice, barbecue, and sesame bread, and he barely earned 10,000 gold coins after selling them for several months.
Now you can earn 25,000 gold coins in one go, why not do it?
After the negotiation, Bunik asked Cheng Yu and the housekeeper to go to the warehouse to collect the money.
After collecting the money, Cheng Yu left the mansion of the city lord of Cuisi City.
Bunik and others stood at the door of the city lord's mansion, watching Cheng Yu's back as he left. Someone couldn't help asking, "Lord Bunik, why did you let him go? We have ambushed more than 200 elite warriors and a fourth-level magician, who can definitely kill him."
"My intuition tells me that it is extremely dangerous to fight him."
The Godfall Forbidden Zone disappeared inexplicably, the Invincible Fleet was defeated and captured, and Cheng Yu dared to attend the banquet alone. These things all implied that this young man was not simple.
Bunik was not a brainless person, so it would be better to spend money to redeem the navy honestly.
As for the newly appeared island, forget it.
...
After leaving Cuisi City, Cheng Yu did not return to Bailu Island, but went to Dark Night City.
There were originally more than 1,000 people in Dark Night City, more than 800 of whom went to Bailu Island, leaving more than 200 people in the city.
Cheng Yu bought ten red sand trees before. After so long, they should be mature now. He distributed the red sand tree seeds to the residents who stayed in Dark Night City for planting.
"Lord, why are you back?"
The two guards at the gate of Dark Night City stood up and saluted immediately when they saw Cheng Yu coming.
These two guards were Wiggins's servants in the past. They were recruited by Cheng Yu. After Cheng Yu took others to Bailu Island, he left them to guard the gate of Dark Night City.
Without the supervision of their superiors, the two were very happy. They sat and played at the gate of the city, lay down and played whatever they wanted.
"You go and notify the residents in the city to gather at my door."
"Yes, Lord."
The two went to notify the residents in the city.
There were only more than 200 people in the city, and they soon gathered at the door of Cheng Yu's house. Cheng Yu asked the two guards to distribute the red sand tree seeds to everyone.
"Lord, what's the use of planting this red sand tree?"
An old man looked at the black red sand seeds, wrinkled andHis face was full of doubts.
If this thing is not valuable after it is grown, then it is not worth planting it.
"You can plant it, I will buy the red sand seeds produced by the red sand wood."
The red sand wood absorbs salt from the saline-alkali land, and the red sand seeds produced have a very high salt content. Cheng Yu plans to grind the red sand seeds into powder and sell them as salt.
At that time, it will have to be packaged and marketed.
Just like the marketing and packaging of 8848 IQ test machine, Xiaoguan tea, and Beibeijia.
Only after getting Cheng Yu's promise did the more than 200 residents of Dark Night City dare to plant it with confidence.
After distributing the red sand wood seeds, Cheng Yu walked out of Dark Night City alone and came to the seaside. Looking at the White Dew Island across the sea, there was no God's Meteorite Forbidden Zone, and the sea was blue and beautiful.
It is really not easy for Dark Night City, a poor fiefdom, to develop.
Fortunately, it has begun to get on the right track.
If Cheng Yu did not have absolute strength, he would have to spend more than ten times the energy to develop Dark Night City.
Cheng Yu created a bubble out of thin air, wrapped himself in it, and controlled the bubble to move towards the opposite Bailu Island.
Arrived at Bailu Island and came to the town construction site.
Cheng Yu found Wilk and other navy soldiers and said with a smile: "Captain Wilk, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?"
Wilk and others were confused. Bad news is very common, how can there be good news.
"Let's hear the good news first." Wilk said.
"Your Lord Bunik is willing to pay to redeem you. The ransom has been negotiated, and you will be free soon."
This... this is really great news.
"Great, I finally left this damn place."
"Thank you Lord Bunik for your kindness."
"I will eat ten kilograms of bread and visit a hundred brothels when I go back."
...
The navy soldiers smiled and jumped up and down with joy, hugging each other.
They will never come to this damn place, Bailu Island, in their lifetime.
"Wait, what about the bad news?"
Wilk felt that things were not that simple.
"The bad news is that when I negotiated with Bunik, he didn't ask for a specific time to release you, so you can't leave until this town is built."
Such a perfect free labor force, Cheng Yu certainly won't let them go easily, he must squeeze out the last bit of their value.
It's so uncomfortable!
They have to stay here for a while, the faces of the navy soldiers instantly fell, they don't want to stay for a moment now.
