From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 370 Invitation from the Governor's Office

This is Miho Nishizumi’s financial warfare plan. Military rule is only one aspect. If the people’s livelihood cannot be unified, it can only be regarded as a colony, not a core territory.

This plan still has many details, but it cannot be implemented at present due to lack of manpower.

Therefore, the Tairen currency now has a fatal flaw, which is that it cannot set up a filing system like other banks. These devices are anonymous. If they are stolen or damaged by accidents, the remaining currency in them cannot be recovered, and other people can easily transfer the Tairen coins from them.

Even so, there was a long queue of people who wanted to exchange Tyran coins. After all, they couldn't buy guns without exchanging them. They couldn't refuse this forced transaction even if they wanted to!

There is no guarantee. Most people exchanged enough Tairen coins to buy this time, and would not exchange any more. In this way, except for making some money by selling the equipment, there is no benefit to the overall situation.

Nishizumi Miho had set up a platform facing the hall, and she was standing on it at this moment, demonstrating to the people below the stage how to use a cannon behind her.

"Everyone, this is the cannon that our Chamber of Commerce produced not long ago. It is extremely powerful. If it is equipped with our special ammunition, one shot can destroy a building. It is also very easy to use." Nishizumi Miho said, taking out a crystal ball and projecting it onto the screen behind her.

When it was first built, the base gathered a hundred guns and shot a promotional video.

In order to demonstrate the combat effectiveness, Leng Xiyao also prepared some low-level jumping insects as cannon fodder to show the strength of the artillery. The rather bloody scene made many people in the audience excited.

Seeing that everyone had some thoughts, Nishizumi Miho smiled and said, "This kind of artillery is a new product of our Chamber of Commerce. We don't sell it to ordinary people. But since we just came to the Northern Province, we naturally have to give everyone some benefits. The original price of a cannon is 2 million, but now it's only 800,000! If you buy it now, you will also get three high-explosive bombs worth 100,000 for free!"

The exchange rate between Terran coins and Gold Soul coins is 1:1, which means that the price of such a cannon is as high as Gold Soul coins.

After hearing this price, the audience was stunned for a moment, and then they started shouting:
"I want!"

"Give me five!"

"I want twenty!"

A hardcover gun can be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. This kind of powerful artillery with a long range only sells for 800,000 gold soul coins, which is not expensive at all.

People in the northern provinces all made their names by robbing, murder and plundering. Although these people are not good-looking and wear simple clothes, they are actually all rich people.

Leng Xiyao only brought sixty cannons in total, and they were sold out in a short time amid such enthusiasm. It is unknown how many of them were bought by agents of those big forces.

After selling the cannons, Nishizumi Miho also had some free time. She sat on the sofa beside her and drank some tea. When she raised her eyes, she found Leng Xiyao.

"Xiyao, you're back?"

"Well, where's Lanlan?" Leng Xiyao looked around, but was not able to find Qin Menglan, which surprised her.

"Meng Lan has gone with the team to look for the Snow Region Hunters. She said she wanted to take this opportunity to help you find out about the situation over there, or to establish some friendships on your behalf in advance. I also gave her a few guidelines. No matter what the force is made up of, there are ways to promote relations." Seeing Leng Xiyao's worried expression, Nishizumi Miho took a sip of tea and continued, "When she left, she took all four level nine jumping worms with her. You don't have to worry about their safety."

Leng Xiyao sensed it and found that it was true. With four dogs protecting her closely, there was no need to worry about Lanlan's safety.

However, these dogs were left behind by her to protect the Spirit Hall, and they were transferred away without waiting for her to come back. It has to be said that Nishizumi Miho is really brave.

Nishizumi Miho is not a Zerg hero and cannot remotely direct the Zerg's actions like Tianmeng, but Leng Xiyao can assign part of the Zerg to her and let them obey her orders. She assigned all four level-9 jumping worms to the opponent for defense.

In addition, Leng Xiyao also gave her a card containing one thousand seventh-order poisonous explosions and ten thousand fifth-order jumping insects so that the other party could carry out strategic deployment. But even so, without the protection of the ninth-order jumping insects, the only master of the Spirit Hall now is Li Yuyuan, the Soul Douluo. If those evil forces take the risk and send a Titled Douluo over, they will basically be wiped out.

"But nothing is happening now, right?" Nishizumi Miho seemed to see what Leng Xiyao was thinking from her surprised expression, so she smiled slightly and took out a letter from the storage card she was using.

"Not long after you left that day, the Governor's Office sent someone to invite you to attend the parliament, but it was unsuccessful. Then this letter was sent. I know without reading it that this is probably to discuss with you how to give up our interests to our satisfaction."

"If the Governor's Office is like this, other forces will certainly not dare to overstep their boundaries. This shows that even if we don't have a single soul master here, they will not act rashly."

Leng Xiyao opened the letter and saw that, just as Nishizumi Miho had said, the wording of the letter was extremely formal, even a little flattering. It sincerely invited Leng Xiyao to a banquet and promised to give her benefits that would satisfy her.

There were three signatures and three seals at the end, representing the strength of three parties respectively, symbolizing that this was signed jointly by the Governor's Office, the Eternal Night Council, and the Fearless Alliance.

These three families are the real rulers of the northern province. Although the other families have large territories, they can only be slaughtered like fish by them. Even during negotiations, they don’t even need the other party’s consent to cede their land, unless they want to go against the wishes of the Governor’s Office.

"It seems like we have to go there." Leng Xiyao looked at the invitation in her hand and turned to look at Nishizumi Miho.

Nishizumi Miho: "Yes, with the power of the Governor-General's Office, they probably knew you were back a long time ago, and they should have sent someone to invite you by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, three people walked in, two of them were carrying a large box that looked very heavy.

The leader was a young man in his twenties with a pair of squinty eyes and a constant smile on his face, but the people around him acted as if they had seen a ghost and they all backed away.

After looking around, the young man walked straight towards Leng Xiyao and bowed, "Miss Leng, I am Ye Ling, the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion. I heard that the Chamber of Commerce opened today, and Governor Luo specially prepared precious metals worth 5 million gold soul coins to express congratulations."

Leng Xiyao was delighted when she heard that the other party was sending a gift. She quickly stood up to greet him and said, "It turns out to be Butler Ye. I have heard of you for a long time. I wonder what is your purpose for coming here?"
