"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"That area is over ten thousand hectares."
"What are you going to do with it?" the city lord asked.
"I want to grow grain on a large scale!"
"After meeting the immediate needs."
"Let's also plan for the future!"
"Of course, there's another reason!"
"They were attracted by the environment of that area!"
“I want to stay here permanently!” he said.
"Growing food is a good thing!"
"But it's outside the city after all!"
"And the area is so vast!"
"I'm afraid you can't manage it all by yourself!" the city lord said again.
"If you are targeted by some evil people, you may even suffer bloodshed!"
"After all, your clothes reveal your wealth."
"The north is safe!"
"But absolute safety cannot be guaranteed."
"There are still some bad people out there!"
"They just don't dare to do it openly!!"
“I have bodyguards, I’m not afraid!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"Alright then!" the city lord nodded.
What do you want to exchange it for?
"Grain, silk, or other precious things!"
"A pearl, plus half the grain!"
Chen Tiansheng took out a black pearl-like gemstone and said.
"Fluorite, and it's the extremely rare black fluorite." The city lord's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.
After a careful examination, it was confirmed to be a rare gemstone, black fluorite.
"Such gems are enough to trade for a city!"
"It's a bit of a loss to trade it for that territory!"
How about this?
"The area outside the West Gate is yours too!"
“That would be fairer,” he said after thinking for a moment.
“Okay.” Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"I don't need to give you any equivalent goods as food," he added.
"certainly."
“It’s included in this transaction,” Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"Yes." The city lord nodded.
"Let me make this clear from the start!"
"Once the deal is finalized, there is no going back."
"And your personal safety is none of my concern!"
"What if something unexpected happens!"
"This city lord will not take any responsibility."
"After all, there are risks outside!"
"I've already told you!"
"Once you agree!"
"That means you're willing to take the risk!" he added.
“I understand,” Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"If anything happens to me!"
"It has absolutely nothing to do with the city lord!"
“His relatives will not cause trouble for the city lord!” he said.
"good!"
"Then let's sign the agreement!" The city lord nodded and called in a steward.
Ask him to draft two transaction agreements.
After it was drafted, the steward handed the agreement to him.
After he had read it, he showed it to Chen Tiansheng again.
After all the issues were resolved, both parties signed their names.
Afterwards, the city lord took out a huge official seal and stamped it on both agreements.
He took a copy for his records.
Another copy was given to Chen Tiansheng as evidence.
"The transaction has been successfully completed!"
"From this moment on, those two plots of land are yours!"
"Take good care of it!" he said after putting away the official seal.
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"Then, what about the grain?" he asked again.
"Take me to the granary!"
"I want it empty," Chen Tiansheng said.
“Okay.” Next, he personally led Chen Tiansheng to a granary.
Inside the warehouse, when he saw the grain that had suddenly appeared, he rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed grain, and there was even more of it than before.
This is an empty warehouse!
How could there be so much grain?
"Could it be?!" He looked at Chen Tiansheng beside him.
"Does Master Chen know some magic?"
"Like teleportation techniques?"
"You're just moving grain out of thin air?" he asked.
"I have a mobile warehouse, which I use to store grain!"
“However, you can’t see it!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"So Master Chen has a treasure for storing grain!" The city lord nodded, understanding.
Looking again, there was more grain than before.
And it's still increasing.
When the warehouse is completely full, and even the doors can't be closed.
Chen Tiansheng stopped moving grain.
"That's fine."
"I'm leaving," he said to the city lord as he turned around.
"This much grain is enough to last for a while!" The city lord nodded repeatedly with a happy expression.
"Let me see you out!" He then personally escorted Chen Tiansheng to the door.
"Lord of the City!!" Seeing that the Lord of the City personally escorted Chen Tiansheng out.
The guards were taken aback.
The lord of a city holds a position of unparalleled prestige.
Someone of such status actually saw a merchant off.
This is the first time ever.
Although they were puzzled by his words and actions, they still greeted him politely.
"He is my friend!"
"When you see him again, be sure to greet him respectfully," the city lord said, waving his hand.
"yes...."
After leaving the mansion, Chen Tiansheng waited on a side road, and soon after, Shou Niang arrived.
"Was the transaction successful?" she asked.
"Success!" Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"What did the city lord give you?"
"Gemstones, or silk?" she asked.
“Two plots of land!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"What do you need the land for?" Shou Niang asked.
“Growing grains makes money!” Chen Tiansheng said.
