Chapter 454 Obtaining a Fief



Without hesitation, Ye Gubai took out his phone and contacted Wang Xizhi's secretary.

It would be impolite to contact Wang Xizhi directly.

Therefore, Ye Gubai still planned to ask Secretary Wen to help convey his meaning.

After explaining the situation to Secretary Wen, the other party understood Ye Gubai's meaning.

However, she was somewhat surprised by Ye Gubai's idea.

Because in all the time the Tianlong Empire has been, no one has ever asked the Prime Minister for a piece of land.

And it's such a large piece of land.

What are they trying to do? Are they trying to declare themselves king?

Although she thought it was an exaggeration, Secretary Wen didn't say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, she went to the Prime Minister's Office and told Wang Xizhi about the matter.

As a 'key client,' Ye Gubai's affairs will naturally be given priority.

After learning of Ye Gubai's idea, Wang Xizhi did not immediately agree, but instead fell into deep thought.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Wang Xizhi made his choice.

"Here, contact Ye Gubai and have him come here."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Wen immediately contacted Ye Gubai.

...

Ten minutes later, Ye Gubai arrived at the Prime Minister's Office.

Wang Xizhi told him that wanting a piece of land was not a problem.

After all, both the Frost Mountains and Storm Canyon are monster dungeon areas.

But to get it, I still need to make a promise to him.

Ye Gubai was stunned when he heard the requirement to make a guarantee.

Because Wang Xizhi did not ask him to make a solemn oath, nor did he make him sign any contract.

It's just a verbal promise; it's very simple.

The promise was: not to betray the motherland.

Upon hearing this request, Ye Gubai did not immediately agree, as that would seem perfunctory.

After pondering for a while, Ye Gubai finally uttered this promise.

Having received Ye Gubai's promise, Wang Xizhi also agreed to Ye Gubai's request.

"Choose one of these two locations. You can handle the problems that can be solved by conquering the dungeon," Wang Xizhi said with a smile. "Once you've dealt with those, you can find a construction team to help you build the house."

For a long time, the Tianlong Empire has never engaged in any territorial division.

Although it was only a small piece of land, it was enough to prove how much he valued Ye Gubai.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to satisfy Ye Gubai's every problem.

...

"Thank you, Prime Minister. I've decided on Storm Canyon."

After some thought, Ye Gubai gave his answer.

The reason for not choosing the Frost Mountains is that it is winter there all year round.

Even the dungeons we conquer are mostly located in wintery, cold environments.

That kind of environment is not suitable for human habitation, and it's not comfortable to live in.

Too much snow can easily cause houses to collapse, even though it looks beautiful and lovely for a while.

But living there for a long time becomes a headache, with all sorts of troubles.

In comparison, Storm Canyon is much more comfortable.

The road into the canyon is protected by natural barriers, and the ruins of the royal city in the canyon could be easily converted into habitable land.

As for the storm issue, it will disappear naturally once the dungeon is cleared, so it's not a big problem.

Furthermore, Storm Canyon has a normal season, making it relatively suitable for human habitation.

The most important factor is the geographical location of Storm Canyon.

Storm Canyon features majestic mountain cliffs, serving as a natural barrier to isolate the area from the outside world.

Being close to the wilderness would make it easier for Ye Gubai to carry out his plans in the future.

By flying over the top of the canyon, one can directly reach the wilderness area.

This makes it extremely convenient not only for walking Lei Bao but also for going out into the wild.

The scene returns to reality. After hearing Ye Gubai mention Storm Canyon, Wang Xizhi kindly reminds him that it's close to the wilderness.

However, seeing that Ye Gubai seemed to know, he didn't say anything more.

After giving Ye Gubai some brief instructions, he told him that he needed a week to prepare.

After all, even if he were given Storm Canyon, it wouldn't be something that could be resolved in a day or two.

We also need to make this public so that the world knows.

While we're at it, let's arrange for the evacuation of Storm City personnel near Storm Canyon.

After all, if Storm Canyon is conquered, that place will be of no use anymore.

Whether to leave or stay, people need some time to prepare.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Ye Gubai smiled and said goodbye to Wang Xizhi.

It's only a week; he can wait that long.

Upon returning to the new base, Ye Gubai found Zi Yueru.

I contacted her because she knows a wider range of people.

Ye Gubai wanted to get her help in contacting a better construction team.

The group that helped renovate the new site before was pretty good.

...

"What?! Storm Canyon is yours?!" Zi Yueru exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Gubai's words were shocking; he said he had acquired a piece of land.

manor?

Are you kidding me?

Despite their long and arduous efforts in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the Zi Clan has yet to acquire a fiefdom of their own.

What are called manors in China are nothing more than places that are built up under the guise of production bases and other similar establishments.

The larger the country, the more concerned it is with territorial matters.

The fact that they were able to accomplish all this is the result of countless generations of hard work and accumulation by the Zi clan.

And Ye Gubai, standing before them, actually obtained a fiefdom so easily.

Can you acquire a piece of land of your own solely through your own efforts?

This is unbelievable! Zi Yueru didn't know what to say.

Some people who don't know the situation think it's just a simple piece of land.

Actually, there are many intricacies involved. The simplest one is that the entire territory belongs to you.

This includes everything on the ground, including stones and plants.

If someone barges in, you are free to do whatever you want with that person.

This is the potential power of a fiefdom, something most people dream of.

"Is it that surprising? It's just a piece of land." Ye Gubai joked, "If it weren't for Lei Bao, I wouldn't have bothered asking the Prime Minister for it."

As soon as Ye Gubai finished speaking, he was met with eye rolls from the women.

I've seen pretentious people before, but I've never seen anyone pretentious like this.

The territory they're talking about seems like it can be taken at will; if someone else asked, they'd definitely be kicked out immediately...

"Alright, look at you, you're so smug, your nose is practically pointing to the sky."

"If you want to undertake such a large project, you'll need to find a very capable construction team."

"As for expenses, it may be quite high, so you need to think about that carefully."

Zi Yue pointed out some problems: undertaking the Storm Canyon project would definitely require a huge financial investment.

The cost of cleaning up the ruins of the royal city alone is considerable.

"Okay, money is no problem, I have as much as you need."

"I only ask for one thing, and that is that the construction should be carried out quickly."

"We also need to install various water and electricity facilities. If there is no electricity or water, we'll have to spend money to fix it."

"I'm not afraid of having too much money, I have money, understand?"

Ye Gubai immediately gave the orders, having already disregarded the issue of money thanks to his control over gold.

Print as many as you want.
