Chapter 226: The wealthy "Forty-nine Villages"
When Feng Xuanming heard Jiang Chen read out his name, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Jiang Chen actually saw through his true identity.
However, Feng Xuanming quickly came back to his senses and smiled faintly at Jiang Chen.
"It seems that the master's ability is even more powerful than I imagined."
"Mr. Feng, thank you for your compliment. If you want me to withdraw my troops just based on this compliment, then I will be in trouble."
"I'm afraid I'm going to make Mr. Feng unhappy."
Facing Feng Xuanming's praise, Jiang Chen did not care, but said lightly.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Feng Xuanming smiled slightly and took out a document from his sleeve with confidence.
"Since I am here to seek peace, I will definitely not come empty-handed."
"This is a small gift from our Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages. I hope you will be satisfied, sir."
As he spoke, Feng Xuanming respectfully handed the list to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took the list handed over by Feng Xuanming and looked at it carefully.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Through the information obtained from the "Ant Hole", he knew that the seven mountains and forty-nine villages were very rich.
But he never expected that these seven mountains and forty-nine villages were not just wealthy, they were extremely rich!
Seeing the surprise in Jiang Chen's eyes, Gongsun Liang walked to Jiang Chen in confusion.
When he saw the list in Jiang Chen's hand, he was also stunned.
I saw that the list contained a long list of item names and quantities.
Among them, the most conspicuous are "a thousand fine war horses, one million taels of silver, and an iron mine."
I originally thought that these "bandits" under the King of Jin would at most give out some silver...
But Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang did not expect that these "bandits" not only took out one million taels of silver, but also took out a thousand war horses.
Moreover, these war horses are all of good quality!!
However, compared to the iron mine at the back, these items in front seem so pale and powerless.
Looking at the list, Jiang Chen slowly came back to his senses.
"I can agree to withdraw the troops, but I am not interested in the things you brought out."
Although these things really tempted Jiang Chen, they were not important to him.
If he wanted, he could lead his troops to seize it at any time!
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Feng Xuanming's heart was instantly startled.
He didn't expect Jiang Chen to have such a big appetite...
At this moment, Feng Xuanming secretly cursed Jiang Chen in his heart, but he came here to negotiate.
Therefore, Feng Xuanming could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Sir, if you are still not satisfied, I can't make the decision."
"I must go back and discuss this matter with the boss."
Facing Feng Xuanming's words, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll give you another three days!"
"After three days, if you can't come up with conditions that satisfy me."
"Then there is no need for this Lanfeng Mountain to continue to exist."
After saying this, Jiang Chen no longer cared about Feng Xuanming's thoughts and simply waved his hand.
"see a visitor out!"
Feng Xuanming and Zhao Wuqing left Jiang Chen’s army camp with gloomy faces.
"Master Military Advisor, this Jiang Chen is really not a good guy!"
"We've already given out so much, and he's still not satisfied!"
"If you ask me, why don't we just send troops to destroy him?"
"Shut up, if we really fight, we will be the only ones who lose!"
Feng Xuanming shouted angrily at Zhao Wuqing.
Their seven mountains and forty-nine villages, with a total of 49,000 people, are enough to fight Jiang Chen.
However, once they choose to go to war with Jiang Chen.
What awaits them will only be destruction!
Although the new emperor Yu Anmin wants Jiang Chen and King Jin to fight to the death, what if these "bandits" choose to go to war with Jiang Chen.
Then Yu Anmin would stand on Jiang Chen's side without hesitation and support Jiang Chen in wiping them out!
All this is because Jiang Chen is an official!
And they are just "bandits"...
After bringing Zhao Wuqing and his party back to Lanfeng Mountain, Feng Xuanming hurriedly sent a message via carrier pigeon to report the news to the headquarters of the Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages - Yunfeng Mountain!
One day later, in Yunfeng Village, the main village among the forty-nine villages in the seven mountains of Yunfeng Mountain.
Looking at the carrier pigeon letter from Feng Xuanming in his hand, the chief He Yunfeng's expression became gloomy.
Several village chiefs nearby looked at his expression and asked hurriedly.
"Boss, what happened?"
"See for yourself!"
Facing questions from several subordinates, He Yunfeng spoke coldly and threw the letter to the ground.
A village chief walked forward puzzledly, picked up the letter and took a look at it.
"What!?"
"This damn Jiang Chen actually has such a big appetite!"
Seeing this colleague so shocked, several other village chiefs also gathered around.
After reading the contents of the letter, everyone was filled with anger.
"Boss, if it were you, I'd say we should just fight him!"
"Yes, we have the support of the King of Jin, why should we be afraid of a mere duke like him?"
The angry village chiefs spoke loudly to He Yunfeng.
Listening to the angry voices of the tribesmen, He Yunfeng couldn't help but frown.
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Go and see how much silver is left in our treasury, and send it all to Jiang Chen!"
After He Yunfeng scolded his subordinates, he spoke to a confidant standing beside him.
"Yes, Boss."
Seeing that He Yunfeng was going to hand over all the money in the treasury to Jiang Chen, although the village leaders were unwilling, they could only suppress their anger under the intimidation of He Yunfeng.
Two days later, Feng Xuanming arrived at Jiang Chen's camp with a full convoy.
Looking at the huge piles of silver pulled by the carriages, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Gongsun Liang on the side was laughing so hard that he could hardly close his mouth!
"Sir, here is a total of two million taels of silver, plus all the previous conditions."
"Is it enough to make you withdraw your troops?!"
Feng Xuanming came in front of Jiang Chen and asked him.
"That's enough. Our guild will keep its promise and withdraw our troops."
"Then I would like to thank you for your mercy, sir."
After getting Jiang Chen's promise to withdraw his troops, Feng Xuanming left behind boxes of silver and returned to Lanfeng Mountain with his men.
Looking at Feng Xuanming's back, Jiang Chen laughed quite wildly.
"Hahaha, sir, your plan is really brilliant!"
"If King Jin knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood."
Jiang Chen said as he patted Feng Xuanming on the shoulder.
With the three million taels of silver in hand, various measures in Jibei County, Lingbei County, and Qingquan County started to operate again.
The one thousand war horses and iron ore promised by Feng Xuanming were also delivered to Jiang Chen on time.
