"Sister, I see that the Lord is upset and doesn't like the singing and dancing. We can think of other ways. Do you think this will work?"
Luzhu whispered a few words to Hongzhu, which made Hongzhu look up at her. She gave her a thumbs up and expressed her approval.
"Sister, you are still smart. You understand men's minds the best. You are much better than me..."
Hongzhu's approving words made Luzhu lower her head and smile slightly.
Since her sister's method doesn't work, then she will do it.
There was a parchment scroll that attracted Zhang Fan's attention. Not only was there a name signed and a bloody handprint on it, but there was even an extra seal.
The seal was very impressive and made Zhang Fan's eyes light up.
He had seen so many signatures, but this was the first time he saw a parchment scroll with a seal. He looked at the contract carefully and soon discovered that it was actually a river lease contract.
The lease is once every 500 years, and the lessee will randomly pay some rent. The last time the rent was paid, it turned out to be 100 stunning female slaves, plus unlimited water from the Zimu River!
Water from Zimu River?
Zhang Fan felt that this name was too familiar. Wasn't there a Zimu River in the territory of the legendary Xiliang Women's Kingdom?
Could this seal be the seal of the king of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom?
That Zimu River was rented out from the Tiandi Pawnshop?
A thought flashed through Zhang Fan's mind, which forced him to look at the contract carefully.
Especially the handwriting on the seal on the contract, Zhang Fan read it very carefully, but the handwriting on it was a bit similar to oracle bone script, and it was not a simplified character at all, although it looked very much like the four words "Western Liang Women's Kingdom".
But Zhang Fan didn't dare to confirm it 100%.
Even so, Zhang Fan saw from the contract that the 500-year lease would expire in exactly three days.
This means that three days later, he should go to collect the next five hundred years' contract from Zimu River.
This is not a simple matter. After all, Zhang Fan doesn’t know the situation of the Zimu River.
"Hua Yueying, Yueying, come here!"
Zhang Fan looked up but didn't see Hua Yueying. There were more servants around him these days, and Hua Yueying seemed to be busy with other things. When Zhang Fan was reading the parchment scroll, she was not there to serve him.
But with Zhang Fan's shout, Hua Yueying appeared in front of him.
"Take a look, is this the seal of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom?"
After Zhang Fan saw Hua Yueying, he gave her the contract land. Hua Yueying was an artifact spirit and had been in the pawn shop for many years, so she should know all this better than himself.
"Hey, Master, how do you know this is the Xiliang Women's Kingdom? The seal of this country is hard to recognize. I personally received the king of this women's kingdom, but I couldn't even pronounce the four words "Xiliang Women's Kingdom"..."
Hua Yueying exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.
You know, the four characters on the seal of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom are quite difficult to recognize, even harder than oracle bone inscriptions. Ordinary people will never have the chance to see them in their entire lives.
Not to mention someone like Zhang Fan, who can be recognized at a glance.
That is quite rare.
"I was just guessing. I saw the Zimu River. There is a Zimu River in the Xiliang Women's Kingdom. I can't be wrong..."
Zhang Fan still remembers the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, where all the women were women. The reason why the Zimu River was called the Zimu River was because if the women's kingdom wanted to give birth to the next generation, they had to drink the water of the Zimu River.
She will get pregnant soon and the pregnancy will last for ten months. When the melon is born, the baby will be a girl.
As a result, everyone in the Western Liang Kingdom, whether the king, prime minister, or soldier, was a woman, and their only means of reproduction and survival was the Zimu River.
"Yes, in fact, the Neng Kingdom of Xiliang originally had the Zimu River, but their Zimu River was very small, it should be called Zimu Spring, and the amount of water flowing out of the spring every day was less than a large vat of water, so the population of the Kingdom of Women was restricted..."
When Hua Yueying talked about the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, she knew much more than Zhang Fan had imagined.
Back then, the King of the Kingdom of Women was troubled by the decreasing population in his territory and the declining fertility of his people. He wanted to have more offspring and children, but was troubled by the lack of water in the Zi Mu River.
This problem troubled the Kingdom of Women for many years until they turned to the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth for help.
They begged the owner of the Pawnshop to redress their grievances and make the water of Zimu Spring flow like a river. In order to achieve this wish, they were willing to pay any price.
The first generation owner of the Tiandi Pawnshop discovered at that time that the Alphabet Spring was actually blocked.
He removed the stone spirit that was blocking the spring and enlarged the outlet of the spring. He also changed the color of the sky and the earth with his bare hands, creating a huge ditch for the water of the Mother and Child Spring to flow down.
The water of the Zimu Spring, from which the stone essence had been taken away, finally gushed out, and the flow became stronger and stronger, turning from a spring into a stream, and the stream gathered into a river. The residents of the Kingdom of Daughters who wanted to give birth to the next generation could drink the water of the Zimu River.
That year, babies were born in every household in the Kingdom of Women, and the population of the Kingdom of Women increased by almost one third, which made the King of the Kingdom of Women at that time ecstatic.
According to the request of the owner of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth, they signed the contract and expressed that they were willing to pay tribute once every five hundred years to thank the owner of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth for opening up the Zi Mu River for them.
And at that time, the imperial seal of the Kingdom of Women was carefully stamped.
This shows that as long as the Kingdom of Women does not perish, they will abide by this contract from generation to generation and will be extremely grateful to the owner of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth.
Because if it weren't for him.
At this time, because the birth rate of daughters is too low, they may have disappeared, and it is impossible for them to be passed down from generation to generation.
After Hua Yueying explained the situation of the Kingdom of Women, Zhang Fan already knew the whole story, and also knew that this Kingdom of Women was indeed the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang as he had guessed.
Later, when Tang Monk was passing by the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he drank the water from the Zi Mu River and became pregnant.
Zhang Fan suddenly remembered that the father of Tang Xuanzang who had come to the Tiandi Pawnshop should be on his way to take office at this time, and his son Tang Xuanzang should not have been born yet, and the story in Journey to the West had not yet fully happened.
But some of the people and countries in it actually exist, just like the current contract of the Kingdom of Western Liang.
"In a few days, we will go to Xiliang Women's Country to collect the debt. By the way, let's take a look at what we need as rent for Zimu River in the next five hundred years..."
Zhang Fan decided to go to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang. He had been to Guanghan Palace in the God Realm, but had not been to other places in the God Realm.
This time I happened to go to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang, and by the way, I took a look at the legendary King of the Kingdom of Women!
