(Cat flutter Chinese) Patrol Mu on the side had long been accustomed to such a situation, and said busily.

"City Lord Ye, you also know that the operation of the Jiuzhou Guild Hall requires a lot of funds every year, and Hall Master Chen has never worried about these funds. Some city lords who are knowledgeable and interested will send some filial piety money to solve the urgent needs of Hall Master Chen. For the sake of Huangquan City being just a small city, this filial piety money doesn't need much, 500,000 intermediate spirit stones are enough. ”

500,000 Intermediate Spirit Stones?!

Ye Lingyue's heart turned over for a while, and she couldn't wait to rush up and tear apart Hall Master Chen's ugly face.

500,000 intermediate-grade spirit stones, that is the tax revenue of Huangquan City for five years.

Hall Master Chen asked for 500,000 spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth, which was simply a robbery.

Seeing that Ye Lingyue refused to answer for a long time, Hall Master Chen's complexion immediately turned cloudy.

"City Lord Ye, if you can't do anything, then Chen can only act according to the orders of the Jiuzhou Alliance. Next month, when the Jiuzhou Heavenly List is released, if Huangquan City still can't reverse the loss of city residents and the decline in the comprehensive ranking, the Jiuzhou League will ban the qualification of Huangquan City. ”

"Hall Master Chen, what do you mean, as long as Huangquan City's comprehensive ranking rises, Huangquan City will be saved?"

Ye Lingyue would never give in to someone like Hall Master Chen.

"Heh~ As long as Huangquan City can get rid of the bottom three rankings, it can be retained, but I don't think that you have the ability to send off guests, Lord Ye. ”

Hall Master Chen seemed to have heard the funniest joke.

The Jiuzhou Desert Hunt has not yet begun, and Huangquan City is poor and clanging, in the case of the Jiuzhou Heavenly List, the green index (the number of people on the list) and the red index (the comprehensive strength of the city) cannot rise directly, and increasing the yellow index (total population) has become Ye Lingyue's only way.

And Huangquan City is now the second-to-last city in terms of overall ranking, and according to the degree of population loss, it will definitely fall to the bottom of the population next month.

In this case, Ye Lingyue actually openly rejected Hall Master Chen's request for bribes, and delusionally wanted to rise two places from the penultimate in less than a month and get rid of the bottom three rankings, which would be very funny if it was replaced by any city lord.

In fact, not to mention Hall Master Chen, even Ye Lingyue herself felt that it was an impossible task, and in hindsight, the warning of the City Lord Ma earlier was probably the news that Huangquan City would be banned in advance.

Ye Lingyue walked out of the council hall, and the city lords who had already gotten the news were whispering behind their backs, obviously not having the slightest sympathy for Ye Lingyue's experience.

The matter of Hall Master Chen using the Jiuzhou Hall to collect money is not a matter of one or two days, except for the city lords of the top ten super cities, Hall Master Chen does not dare to extort, and the other city lords present have more or less been bribed by him.

"City Lord Ye, why is there a sad face, but what troublesome things have happened?"

This is, an abrupt voice came from behind him, calling Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue looked back and saw the Five Spirit City Lord standing not far away.

Seeing the City Lord of the Five Spirits, Ye Lingyue stepped forward quickly.

After all, the old city lord was able to manage such a novice city as Wuling City in an orderly manner and turn it into a medium-sized city on the ancient Jiuzhou continent, naturally he had his advantages, and Ye Lingyue could just ask him how to attract new immigrants.

"Attracting new immigrants, with the situation in Huangquan City, I'm afraid it's not easy. When the city lord of Wuling City heard this, he groaned with a deep face. "Wuling City can attract a large number of novices to move in, because Wuling City has abundant Wuling Qi, which is a natural condition, and Huangquan City really has no advantage in this regard. Besides, you have less than a month to spare. ”

Ye Lingyue thought about it, Huangquan City could only be described as lacking in terms of aura, and for martial artists, it was really not an attractive point.

"If you don't have an advantage, you create an advantage. Hundreds of years ago, the City of Water was not much stronger than the Yellow Springs City, but since the legend of the god of water, the number of new immigrants has increased greatly. ”

Just when Ye Lingyue was discussing with the City Lord of Wuling, she saw Luo Qianche, the Lord of Water City, coming over, and it turned out that Luo Qianche was coming to report with the representative team of Water City.

"City Lord Luo is right, for most cities, the advantage is not innate, but acquired. ”

The Five Spirits City Lord laughed twice.

Ye Lingyue listened to what Luo Qianche said, and was a little surprised, after all, a few days ago, the two were still hostile, and they didn't expect that the other party would give advice.

"It's hard to do it, the legend of the god of water has always been just a gimmick. ”

Ye Lingyue suddenly realized, it seems that it is not enough to rely on strength to be a city lord, sometimes you have to be a little smart, but what is the advantage of Huangquan City?

"I don't know if it's a gimmick or not, but the Water God Waterfall and the ancient canal road of the Water City are all painstakingly excavated by generations of the City Lord's Mansion. The beautiful scenery of the City of Water, coupled with the ancient laws and clouds, water can store wealth, many wealthy merchants and fishermen like to settle down in the City of Water. Sometimes, blind worship of God can be very useful. Without any natural advantage, that person cult is one of the best ways to attract immigrants. ”

Luo Qianche said and glanced at Ye Lingyue.

"I'm not giving you an idea, I just don't want my opponent, before the Jiuzhou Wild Hunt started, because the city was withdrawn, he became a lost dog and finally lost his qualification to participate in the Jiuzhou Wild Hunt. ”

This woman just likes duplicity.

Ye Lingyue couldn't hear that Luo Qianche was giving her ideas.

Whether it was Luo Qianche or the City Lord of Wuling, they were all shocked after learning about Hall Master Chen's harsh conditions.

"Ye Lingyue, I see that you are quite clever on weekdays, why did you become a dead brain at such a time. In a month's time, where are you going to recruit new immigrants, if I were you, I might as well agree to Hall Master Chen's request. He has Elder Chen's backing behind him, and if you go against him, you will only die a miserable death. ”

Luo Qianche shook his head.

"There is a first time, there is a second time, besides, even if you pay enough spirit stones, if Huangquan City can't get rid of the bottom position, there will be countless five hundred thousand spirit stones in the future, for this kind of person, I will never compromise. ”

Ye Lingyue thought that 100,000 spirit stones would be exchanged for a chance to enter the Divine Power Pool, so she refused to agree to the condition of 500,000 taels of spirit stones.

"Hall Master Chen's behavior is becoming more and more rampant. However, what City Lord Ye said was right, this kind of person cannot be tolerated and cultivated. City Lord Ye, the old man can't help with the new immigrants. However, you can carefully study the heavenly list at the entrance of the guild hall, if the old man is not mistaken, Huangquan City wants to get rid of the third-to-last position, and you need to recruit at least 1,000 new residents in this month, this is not an easy task to complete, you need to think carefully.
