Chapter 4595 Trouble to Come

Human is a kind of creature who is very afraid of being compared, but invisibly, and very fond of comparison.

When life was going badly, everyone was a brother and a brother, and they didn't care about each other. Naturally, they didn't have any ideas about each other.

But once you find that the people around you are living a more comfortable life than you, then the mood may start to become a little complicated.

Especially when that person is relatively familiar with you, and even often appears under your nose...

In the lower urban area, the current tax payment is once a month. In the latest month, the tax collected has basically increased by nearly 30% compared to before.

Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan knew that there must still be a lot of people evading taxes. However, under the limited conditions, it is unrealistic to solve this kind of troublesome problem at once. Continuing to struggle with this problem will only waste energy in vain.

Anyway, the tax is also rising month by month, and if they save more, they can start a big project.

And it is in this process that the season has quietly entered autumn.

Like their known universe, autumn is the harvest season, and it is also the busiest season for farmers in the lower city.

But in this season, for Luo Ji, there was one difference from usual, and that was the deal with Shangcheng Yiren.

Like humans, Winged People also need to eat.

But don't expect those wingmen in the upper city to raise their hands, wield their hoes, and plow the land. That's unrealistic.

But to be honest, it was hard for Luo Ji to imagine that the Yiren would be completely handed over to humans for important tasks such as 'food production' that were closely related to the survival of the race.

Now that things have happened, it is impossible for Luo Ji to know whether it was like this at the beginning, or whether the upper wing people slackened later and became like this.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Yi people, as long as they have absolute military power in their hands, they are not afraid of the human rebellion in the lower city.

In fact, this is indeed the case. On the side of the Vatican of the Holy Light, the suppressing power of the wing people's military power is really too strong.

On the human side, if they want to challenge the Yiren by choking on the food, then the Yiren will send regular troops to wipe out the lower city, which is basically a matter of a day or two.

During this period of time, the food issue has no impact at all.

Of course, in the Xiacheng District under the management of Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan, the military strength has far exceeded that of the past.

But even so, they don't have the capital to challenge the wingmen.

To be honest, although Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan secretly prepared a lot of weapons and equipment just in case, on the surface, although they were training soldiers, they had not upgraded their weapons for a long time Equipped.

The equipment of the soldiers in the lower city has actually improved very little compared to when they first became self-reliant.

This was undoubtedly done on purpose by Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

For the sake of his own future, the bishop in the upper city has made a lot of concessions, even at the expense of part of the country's interests, but this does not mean that he is a fool.

The premise that the opponent is willing to give in is because he has an absolute advantage in military strength.

To put it simply, the bishop reached an agreement with Luo Ji on the premise that he could destroy the entire lower city at any time when he wanted to.

And once the military strength in the lower city area begins to rise sharply, and the bishop realizes the threat from it, then the other side will 100% tear up the verbal agreement with Luo Ji without hesitation, send troops to the lower city area, and wipe them out completely. exterminate.

Being able to destroy them at any time is the bishop's bottom line, and it is also a tacit understanding between them.

Now let’s get back to the topic, just like what Luo Ji had indicated when he was negotiating with the bishop, their lower city would continue to provide the upper city with productivity and daily necessities.

But different from the 'exploitation' of the past, for today's materials, the upper city needs to obtain them from them through a more reasonable 'transaction'.

In fact, their 'deal' with Uptown has been going on long before.

Among them, the grain transaction is undoubtedly a very important transaction.

In terms of this transaction, Luo Ji did not open his mouth like a lion, and he sold the grain to Shangcheng District at a normal price.

After all, they don't want to cause trouble on this issue, they just want to develop in a low-key way with peace of mind.

But even so, this situation still aroused the dissatisfaction of certain wingmen in the upper city.

After all, these resources were really cheaper than the price of cabbage in the past. Although they are now normal food prices, in the eyes of the Yi people in the upper city, they are already too expensive.

But Luo Ji didn't need to worry about this matter. The bishop had to settle it.

In this city, the bishop himself is equivalent to the existence of the emperor of the earth. Even in a certain period of time, even if the people in power in the upper city speak, the words of the bishop are not as effective.

At present, the transaction between the two parties is still going on steadily. From this point, it can be seen that the bishop has settled this matter very well.

Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan are now familiar with these grain transactions.

Originally, they thought that this autumn's grain trade would be completed smoothly, but they didn't expect that an accident happened ahead of time before the two parties could make the trade.

This accident did not come from the bishop in the upper city, but from Henry Boll!

That Henry Boll, who had been quiet after offering an olive branch to Luo Ji, took the initiative to find Luo Ji on this day...

"Master Bor's coming here is really sudden enough."

Sitting in his own private meeting room, Ye Qingxuan was listening in the booth beside him. At this time, Luo Ji looked at Henry Boer with a somewhat meaningful look in his eyes.

In this regard, Henry Bole smiled slightly.

"Scarlett, you are a smart person, and you should have already guessed the purpose of my visit this time."

"hehe……"

Hearing this, Luo Ji let out a chuckle.

But this time, he didn't plan to pretend to be stupid anymore, mainly for this sake, it wouldn't be interesting to play that trick again.

"Master Boer, I almost forgot about you, why do you have to remind me?"

At this moment, Luo Ji's subtext can be said to be very clear, that is, 'you can fight if you want to fight. The fight has not started yet, and there is no result at the same time. At this juncture, why drag me in? '

Amidst the light laughter, Henry Boer undoubtedly heard Luo Ji's dissatisfaction.

Facing this situation, Henry Boll was not embarrassed at all.

"Because we want to win easier and also faster, so hopefully you'll run out of food uptown."
