Chapter 267 Okay, I agree
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Xin Ling didn't dare to look up at Luo Li on the other side of the mirror.
It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now that she knows, Xin Ling can't help but feel guilty when facing this victim.
"I'm so sorry to you, and I'm no longer worthy of leading you. I will return to the Floating Cloud Tower in the fairyland and be a gatekeeper forever. I will never come out again to make up for my sins."
Mandola's expression of originally watching a good show was stunned, and instantly turned into embarrassment, "Well, the Floating Cloud Building has been demolished, and now it is in the library."
"It's been demolished, why did they demolish it!" Xin Ling couldn't believe it, Xin Ling was shocked, Xin Ling was desperate, why was she guarding the door if the building was demolished?
"Ahem, there's one more thing you should have forgotten." Yue Heng coughed twice and reminded, "The Alliance and the Empire have been sworn enemies for hundreds of years."
Yue Heng didn't say anything else, but everyone present knew what he meant.
"So the Moon Lord wants to kill me?" Xin Ling's face turned cold.
"Of course not. I just want you to plant some trees."
Yue Heng waved his hand and summoned an illusion. In the illusion, the privileged fairies of the alliance were now working hard to water the laurel trees.
"Planting trees? I see."
In Xin Ling's opinion, the conditions proposed by Yue Heng were not harsh, so she had no objection. She just thought that she didn't know the pain of planting trees in the Gobi Desert.
But Yue Heng naturally did not forget Luo Li and the others. He pointed at them with a smile and said, "Don't even think about escaping. You all have to go plant trees."
Even though they were reluctant, the situation was stronger than people, so all the fairies still agreed obediently, "Got it."
…………
After sending off the group of Ye Luoli warriors, Yue Heng looked at Wen Zheng and the others who had been waiting nearby, "It seems that the human leaders have already thought of a reason to persuade me?"
"Yes." One of the brown-haired Western diplomats stood up, "Our country's top leaders have agreed to your reasonable request."
“So do our country’s top leaders.”
“And our country.”
…
One by one, the diplomats agreed to Yue Heng's previous request on behalf of their respective countries and regions. This made Mandola, who had always thought that humans would resist, a little confused.
At this moment, Wen Zheng, who had been waiting, stepped forward and said, "But we humans also have a condition."
"Oh, what conditions? Tell me."
Yue Heng showed rare interest. He stood up from the rattan chair and walked straight up to the few people. Even though he looked peaceful, he had been on the throne for a long time after all, and his powerful aura still made it difficult for everyone to get used to it.
Facing Yue Heng's scrutinizing gaze, Wen Zheng said word by word: "The human side hopes that the Empire can open a trade line between the two regions."
"Opening trade routes, why? Are you still thinking about money even if you are about to be destroyed? Or do you want to earn back the losses from closing down polluting companies through trade?"
"No, neither. It's better to say that only by opening trade lines can the fairyland maintain stability in the long run." Wen Zheng spoke more and more fluently, as if she was used to Yue Heng's aura.
"For the sake of Fairyland, I don't know if doing this can actually help Fairyland?" Mandola took a step forward and superimposed the aura of a person in power on the aura of a king.
The most important thing in negotiation is momentum. You must never let your opponent see your fear! Yue Heng taught her this.
But Wen Zheng was no longer affected by the momentum because Ling was already standing beside her.
As an intelligent life form, He is naturally unable to feel such an intangible thing as human temperament. Compared to feeling, He is better at sound wave scanning.
His powerful strength also brought a sense of security to human diplomatic officials.
Wen Zheng let out a long sigh, "You are an emperor who loves his people like his own children."
"Your compliments are very nice."
"You would never want your people to suffer unnecessary harm."
“It’s natural.”
"Then do you want to see the people of the empire being slaughtered and their bodies floating for thousands of miles?"
Yue Heng's face suddenly turned cold, and everyone felt as if there was an invisible hand on their neck. "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Know."
Wen Zheng raised her head, her eyes determined, "I saw the copy of Das Kapital next to you, so I believe you also understand that human life is actually nothing to capitalists."
"Money is equal to or greater than human life. This is the general view in the capitalist era. Even if capital offers to exchange one person's life for 1 million, I believe that countless people are willing to die."
"Compared to the trillion-dollar crude oil and mineral industries, human life is so insignificant."
"And in this age of entertainment, they have plenty of ways to incite people's evil thoughts towards the empire. Even if your original intention was just to restore the environment, they would have a thousand reasons to slander you."
Wen Zheng's words were unpleasant, even harsh, but none of the fairies and humans present refuted them. Wasn't World War II caused by the economic crisis and even affected the whole world?
If Yueheng really eliminated all polluting enterprises at once, the impact would be almost the same as the economic crisis during World War II.
After understanding this, Yue Heng asked, "So you advised me to open up trade in order to make up for the capital loss as much as possible and prevent unrest in the human world?"
"Part of it, but the biggest reason is that we discovered the existence of Qi."
"Qi?" Mandola looked at Yue Heng, asking with her eyes what this thing was.
But Yue Heng just shook his head implicitly, indicating that he had never heard of this thing either.
Fortunately, Wen Zheng began to explain herself, and as she explained, Yue Heng and Mandola gradually understood why humans asked the empire to open trade lines.
…
"The only temptation that can counteract one temptation is another, stronger temptation, and obviously, the temptation of immortality and extraordinary power is greater than capital."
"That's right." Wen Zheng agreed with Yue Heng's conclusion.
"As long as we publicize the existence of gas, capitalists will voluntarily protect the environment for the sake of longevity. Even if there are some who are unwilling to do so, they will be attacked by the crowd."
"But you also know that compared to the long lifespan of fairies, the lifespan of humans is too short. Within a limited lifespan, unless you are gifted, it is difficult to achieve results in cultivation in today's environment."
"But it's different once the trade channels are opened. Fairyland has sufficient cultivation resources, and humans can pile up a successful case in the fastest time."
"With successful cases, are you still afraid that those old-fashioned investors won't be tempted?"
"Of course, you don't have to worry about humans becoming greedy for the fairyland. After all, it is difficult and not worth it at the moment." At the end, Wen Zheng even smiled bitterly.
Yue Heng began to ponder, but the expression on his face already showed some eagerness.
Compared with the empty talk of the Ye Luoli warriors before to persuade people to be good, Yue Heng believes more in the interests promised by the current group of human leaders.
Yue Heng doesn't believe in humans, but he believes in human nature.
"Okay, I agree. I will give humans two years. I hope to see a result that satisfies me."
