Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Mingxi was silent. He did not expect that King Guili would bring so many people to Yancheng, nor did he expect that the other party would be so arrogant.

He didn't say anything. The hundreds of Yancheng nobles behind him were so intimidated by Gui Liren that they couldn't say a word.

At this time, Zhu Yuncheng said slowly: "I will give you one day to collect 5 million kilograms of salt, and send someone to tell my men in detail the types of monsters that have come down from the snowy mountains in the past ten years."

Mingxi took a breath and said, "King Guili, are you ordering us around? I am the King of Yancheng, and the people behind me are the people of the Salt God!"

"Really?" Zhu Yuncheng leaned to one side, propped up his chin with one hand, and looked at Mingxi below: "It seems that you still don't know where you are. You asked me to help you, so you should act like a request."

Mingxi was a little angry. He had been the king of Yancheng for so many years, but the man from Yancheng was always respectful when he saw him. In his opinion, his status should be equal to that of Zhu Yuncheng. However, as soon as they met, the other party spoke to him like a slave.

"Do you understand? If you don't, I will go back. From now on, even if you bring more salt, I will not come. You will have to think about the consequences yourself."

Mingxi sighed in his heart. King Guili had accurately grasped the predicament of Yancheng. He tried to keep his voice dignified: "The five million kilograms of salt you requested will be delivered soon. I will also send someone to explain in detail what you want to know."

Zhu Yuncheng nodded gently: "Also, you are responsible for supplying the food for the 20,000 people I brought."

"Food for 20,000 people?" Mingxi could no longer hold back. "Why? Don't you have any more food in Guiliji? We don't have much food in Yancheng!"

Zhu Yuncheng sneered: "I still say the same thing, if you don't provide it, you will bear the consequences!"

"You!" Mingxi's face flushed, then he snorted coldly, turned around and went straight back to Yancheng.

"Give orders to start setting up the tents and preparing lunch." After Zhu Yuncheng gave the order, he returned to his original sitting position. At this moment, a door opened next to the small building, and Liu Yun, who was sitting inside, looked at him: "Yuncheng, now you can at least explain to me why you are doing this."

In Liu Yun's opinion, since Zhu Yuncheng and she were going to the Snow Mountain, they should set off immediately instead of mobilizing 20,000 Yan troops and 500 artillery pieces and coming here in a swagger. She asked Zhu Yuncheng again, but the latter said that he would explain after meeting the King of Yancheng.

Now that he had met the King of Yancheng, Zhu Yuncheng explained: "Master, what I did was very simple. I just wanted to get the salt for free and to firmly control Yancheng through economic means."

"Free sex? Economic means?" Liu Yun's face was full of question marks. He said sternly, "Speak human language."

Zhu Yuncheng smiled and said, "Master, to put it simply, I don't want to spend money to buy salt from Yancheng anymore. Instead, I want them to send us a fixed amount of salt every year. Besides, Yancheng has been trapped for two years, so there shouldn't be much food stored. Now it's still a year before the next grain harvest in Yancheng. When the grain is gone, they can only buy grain from me, Guiliji.

But with the current scale of Guiliji, 5 million catties of salt a year is more than enough, so we do not accept them to exchange more salt for food, but only porcelain, wood carvings and other handicraft products. "

Over the past ten years, Guiliji's handicraft industry has flourished. It can be said that Guiliji today is no different from Liyue in later generations, except that it does not have a port.

Zhu Yuncheng continued: "At that time, the people of Yancheng will learn to do handicrafts for their livelihood. At the beginning, I will increase the Mora value of Yancheng handicraft products. When these people of Yancheng see that they can make so much money from handicrafts, which is much more profitable than farming, most of them will give up farming and turn to handicrafts. By that time, our Guili will have basically completed the economic control of Yancheng.

After a few years, I will propose to buy the farmland outside Yancheng for my Guiliji, and send the Qianyan Army to occupy it in the name of protecting the farmland. At that stage, I can set the price of handicrafts at will. "

Liu Yun listened to Zhu Yuncheng's introduction and roughly understood: "Yuncheng, why do you do this?"

"Because I want to get some salt for free." Zhu Yuncheng smiled.

Important materials such as salt must be monopolized, and if a war between demons breaks out, Yancheng will be the first territory that needs to be taken.

Liu Yun was about to say something when he suddenly turned his head towards the snow-capped mountains.

Zhu Yuncheng followed her gaze and looked towards the snow-capped mountains.

"Boom~"

A faint roar was heard, and a white light continued to flash on the top of the snow-capped mountain. Even in the daytime, it was still very dazzling. Then an avalanche occurred, and the white snow rolled down from the snow-capped mountain. They piled up on each other to form a terrifying torrent, rolling rapidly down the mountain.

"All Qianyan troops, prepare for battle!"

Following Chongyan's roar, all the Qianyan soldiers immediately put down their work, stood up, grabbed their weapons, and found their own squadron formations.

Zhu Yuncheng stood up and looked. With his eyesight, he saw that among the incoming snow there were also a large number of ice monsters, slimes, ice flowers, etc.

As the slope slowed down, the rolling avalanche of snow also began to slow down, and then the monsters in the snow rushed out and ran towards the Qianyan Army.

"It turns out that some of the monsters are not all." Zhu Yuncheng looked at the lizard-like ice rock lizards covered with ice crystals, the ice crystal snakes crawling on the ground, the two-meter-tall ice bears, and...

"Hmm, Hilichurls?" He also saw that among the group of monsters, there was an extremely strong Hilichurl Frost Armor King who was at least three meters tall. He held several skinny Hilichurls tightly in his arms, squeezed a way out among the large number of monsters, and then headed towards a place far away from the Thousand Rocks Army.

"Interesting, I remember there were several Hill Frost Armor Kings on the snowy mountain. One of them seemed to be called Uku, a Hillman transformed from the original inhabitants of the snowy mountain. Could that be it?" Zhu Yuncheng thought, "Master, I'm going to capture a monster. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he immediately took off into the air and flew towards the Hillock Frost Armor King.

Although the Hillock Frost Armor King was running, it could not match Zhu Yuncheng's current flying speed. It only took a moment for him to catch up with it and land in front of it.

When the Frost Armor King of the Hillock saw the human, a tyrannical aura emanated from his body for the first time. He threw the Hillock man in his arms away and roared to the sky. A large amount of ice elements was released from his body, forming a layer of hard ice armor.

"Have you lost your mind when you saw humans?" Zhu Yuncheng frowned slightly as he looked at the other party. At this moment, the Hillock Frost Armor King had already attacked, clenched his fists, and smashed down on Zhu Yuncheng's head.

"Boom!" The fragments of the earth under the feet of each man and each hill showed cracks like spider webs, spreading eight meters away. In the ice fog, the fist of the Frost Armor King of the Hill stopped three inches away from Zhu Yuncheng, and there was no way for him to move forward.

"It seems that he has indeed lost his mind." Zhu Yuncheng raised his hand to make a pistol shape, condensed the power of Yang, and then fired a shot to hit the Frost Armor King's abdomen, directly shattering its frost shell. The huge body flew backwards and smashed a boulder.

Soon, Frost Armor King Jiu got up.

"See if we can still communicate."

"Wuku!" Zhu Yuncheng called out its name.

Upon hearing these two words, King Frost Armor's body trembled violently, and a light flashed in his eyes.

When Zhu Yuncheng saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although Teyvat has its own written language, fortunately they are basically interoperable.

"Woo, ugh." The Frost Armor King named Uku let out a low growl and covered his two horns on his head, seeming to be in great pain.
