The location of Silver Pine City is actually quite special.

It is located in the north of Buck Kingdom, starting from Silver Pine City, to the north is the northern area of ​​Buck Kingdom, and to the south, it is the south of Buck Kingdom, or to be precise, the central area.

The north is a place of poverty recognized by the Buck Kingdom.

The Silver Pine City is generally considered to be the most prosperous city in the north.

As for a remote place like Hongye City, few people know about it, and many people even think that Silver Pine City is the northernmost city in Buck Kingdom.

To the east of Silver Pine City is an endless mountain range called the Thunder Mountains. The Thunder Mountains block the harsh climate from the north, making the climate in the central region of the Buck Kingdom much better than the north. Of course, the climate in the north is also due to this. Much worse.

Once the weather is bad, there will be fewer people; when there are few people, the environment will not be improved, and the weather will be even worse! This is one of the reasons why the north is very barren.

However, the location of Silver Pine City is still some distance away from the Thunder Mountain Range. When Zhang Feng went to Silver Pine City at that time, he didn't walk down the Thunder Mountain Range, so he didn't see it.

The road that Zhang Feng took was the west of Silver Pine City.

Equivalent to the steep Thunder Mountains in the east, the space on the west side of Silver Pine City is more spacious. There are both land roads and waterways - the Senluo River, so almost all the businessmen who do business go from here.

As for the further west from Silver Pine City, there is the Fire Wing Mountain Range, and on the other side of the Fire Wing Mountain Range is the Luoyan Kingdom.

So, if you want to go to the far north of the Buck Kingdom, such as Hongye City, then whether you go by water or land, Silver Pine City is an inescapable city.

It seems that the location of Silver Pine City seems to be quite important, but because it is too barren, it has always been ignored.

In addition, there is no other country in the north of Silver Pine City, there is only a Sunset Mountain Range, so neither the king nor the nobles pay much attention to Silver Pine City.

However, just because others don't take it seriously doesn't mean Zhang Feng doesn't take it seriously.

If you want to go to your own Red Leaf City, Yinsong City is the only place to go. Zhang Feng is very confident that in a certain period of time in the future, Red Leaf City will become a place that many people flock to!

Then, Silver Pine City is very important to Zhang Feng. Not to mention anything else, just say that so many people pass through Yin Pine City, as long as people who understand it a little bit, they can definitely make a lot of money.

Of course, this is secondary. The most important thing is that Silver Pine City is a barrier and a window to the outside world. After all, the location of Hongye City is relatively remote.

If he takes control of Silver Pine City, Zhang Feng can immediately know what is going on in the outside world.

Therefore, in this Silver Pine City, Zhang Feng could not give up.

Although this place actually belongs to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng has to be justified in what he wants. Otherwise, when he sees Silver Pine City making money, the other big nobles will be jealous and it will be more troublesome if they want to get a piece of the pie.

Zhang Feng hates trouble.

Zhang Feng took out a pencil, quickly found the location of Silver Pine City on the map, and drew a line.

The line begins in the Thunder Mountains, passes through Silverpine, and ends in the Firewing Mountains.

After painting, Zhang Feng looked at the king with some embarrassment.

"You are this?"

Looking at the straight black line on the map, the king did not understand Zhang Feng's operation.

What territory Zhang Feng wanted, as long as he pointed to a location, or circled an approximate location, the king could determine the distribution of the local nobles and combine the actual situation to find the unowned territory and divide it up for Zhang Feng.

Even if there is a master, as long as it is the duke's territory, the king can still change it at will, it just takes a little more effort.

But Zhang Feng's operation of drawing a line, the king really didn't understand.

"Ahem, His Majesty the King..."

Zhang Feng is a little awkward. If someone who is familiar with Zhang Feng sees it, he will probably drop his jaw. Zhang Feng has always been thick-skinned. When will he be embarrassed to see him?

"You say it boldly."

The kingdom waved his hand indifferently.

The entire Buck Kingdom is his territory. As long as the territory Zhang Feng wants is in the Buck Kingdom, there is nothing he can't give! Brackets, except for the cast iron city in the south.

"Your Majesty, I mean, if possible, I hope you can divide the area north of this line into my territory..."

His Majesty the King: "..."

The two sides suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Zhang Feng was so embarrassed, did he think he was a little too big?

If it really doesn't work, first get Silver Pine City down. If you can catch up with a few smaller cities, it would be best...

Zhang Feng thought silently in his heart.

The king, on the other hand, looked a little strange.

To be honest, when Zhang Feng opened his mouth just now, he was really startled.

Because the place north of this line is not small, even bigger than a duke's fief!

You must know that in the Buck Kingdom, the number of dukes is small. Most of the dukes only have titles and do not have much territory. There are very few dukes with such a large territory. The king thought for a while. , It seems that no duke's territory can be so big, no, the territory of the Grand Duke of Oran is not so big!

The king subconsciously wanted to refuse. This was completely an instinctive reaction. Even the king was thinking, this Zhang Feng wants such a large territory, does he want to do something wrong?

Thankfully, he really opened his mouth!

But just as he was about to refuse, the king quickly stopped.

Because he just looked at the size of the place and ignored what Zhang Feng said.

North of this line...?

The king was in a trance for a moment, what city is further north? Besides Hongye City, what else? Why can't I remember?

Taking a closer look on the map, those four big characters suddenly came into view - the barren land.

Oh, it turns out to be the northernmost barren land, that's fine!

So, the king said with a strange expression:

"Count Zhang Feng, are you sure... you want this barren... oh no, this extreme northern land is your territory?"

"If your Majesty the King will allow you..."

Zhang Feng's tone was a little apprehensive.

He also knew that he wanted a little too much.

But there is no way. As soon as he sees the map, the finger does not obey the command. He is still thinking, and the finger has already been drawn. This wave is the finger's pot.

"Do you know what's going on in the extreme north?"

the king asked.

"I know, after all, my Red Leaf City is also there..."

Zhang Feng nodded.

In fact, in Zhang Feng's opinion, isn't the weather there a bit harsher, less people, and less land? But what does it matter? In Zhang Feng's view, it doesn't make much difference. , it's just a little more troublesome.

Zhang Feng is not afraid of trouble!

But this is only Zhang Feng's own opinion.

And in the eyes of the king, the extreme north is a place where nothing grows!

He even said that since he was born to the present, he has never been to the extreme north. The most northern place the king has been to is Silver Pine City.

There are countless nobles he has rewarded, but Zhang Feng is the first to name a city in the far north. Although he wants the entire far north, from the king's point of view, there is no difference.

In their opinion, the land is naturally good, but the barren land is not good.

They even thought that being a small noble in a place like this would be better than coming to the capital to do business—in fact, it was!

Regardless of the spiritual aspect, being a businessman in the capital is much more comfortable than being a noble in a remote area!

At least there is no shortage of material things. In a remote place, you can definitely buy many things if you have gold coins, not to mention, there are no gold coins there! Maybe a year of hard work is not as good as a month for a businessman in the capital city—no, half a month’s business!

Of course, if you say that you just like to be the city lord, and being the city lord will make you happy, then you will say something else.

Another important reason for the king's unimpressed impression of the extreme north is taxation.

Which lord pays him more taxes every year, he is naturally impressed by this lord.

In the extreme north, there has been no tax for many years!

Since a long time ago, the king accidentally learned that a small town in the far north starved to death a large number of people, and he exempted the major cities in the far north from tax for one year, and the people praised the king even more. add.

And this exemption has continued until now.

The king didn't mention it, and no one came to pay.

After all, no tax officer used to collect taxes. If they came to the capital to pay taxes, it is estimated that the taxes they paid would not be enough to travel expenses.

The king also despised that gold coin. Compared with this gold coin, the king felt that fame was more important.

As for saying that Zhang Feng wants to rebel? The king shook his head, this is even more nonsense, this place, given him ten years, can train 10,000 elite soldiers, the king overestimates him! It would be great if most people could not starve to death! First release www.(x81zw)m./x81zw/

The king even felt that if he really gave this place to Zhang Feng, in a few years, Zhang Feng would definitely take the initiative to return it to himself. After all, if a lord's territory has been starved to death and can't be solved, then this lord will be a mess. So humiliating.

"Although you already know the situation there, I still have to remind you that the extreme north is different from other places. You are indeed very capable of operating and building Hongye City, which is related to your ability and also to you. It is related to your luck, and both are indispensable! But if you become the lord of the entire northern land, the situation will be completely different. The northern land is not something that your little red leaf city can compare to. !" ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

The king warned in a tone of voice.

I have to say that as a king, he is really good to Zhang Feng. If he had the spare time to talk to Zhang Feng when he was young, he would either agree or refuse. He would never talk nonsense.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I like challenging things!"

Zhang Feng was not frightened by the king's words. After all, he came from Hongye City. Could he not know what was going on there?

"Since that's the case, then it's not impossible to divide the whole of the extreme north to you, it's just..."

The king's face was a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, just what?"

Zhang Feng did not expect that the king would show signs of letting go. Although he might not succeed in the end, he still had to fight for it.

"It's just that although I can divide the extreme northern land for you, this place really exceeds the largest territory that a marquis can have. There are many nobles in the Buck Kingdom, and there are also many nobles with fiefs. This does not convince the public."

The king's words are also true.

Even if he agreed, the nobles would not agree.

Although the king is the lord of a country, it is a lordly country after all. He also has to listen to the opinions of other nobles, at least the opinions of the big nobles, the king has to refer to.

Even in a big way, if Zhang Feng makes an exception, there will definitely be a situation of territorial annexation for various reasons in the future. As long as it is not suppressed by force, the king has no way to stop it. After all, he opened the head.

Thinking of this, the king instantly felt that it was impossible!

Even if this extremely northern land is a dispensable place, he can't give it to Zhang Feng!

After Zhang Feng heard the king's words, he fell into deep thought.

The king was right. The awarding of such a large territory to Zhang Feng would definitely make other nobles dissatisfied.

There is a saying that good, not suffering from few but suffering from unevenness.

Those aristocrats who have been hollowed out by wine for a long time don't want to know what kind of place the extreme north is. They only know that the king made an exception to reward Zhang Feng with a territory that surpassed his title!

The king can reward Zhang Feng, and naturally he can also reward them, and they have to fight for it!

What if the king does not agree? Then think of a way automatically, anyway, they have to want such a big place, otherwise they are all marquis, why your territory is bigger than my duke, how can you let me, the duke, have a foothold in the Buck Kingdom in the future!

Of course ~www.wuxiahere.com~ not all nobles do not understand, some do not understand, there are actually more people who do, but they will pretend not to understand, after all, crying children have milk to eat.

Zhang Feng immediately understood that he wanted to gain such a large territory, no problem, but the premise was to clear up two obstacles, one for the king and one for the nobles.

The former looks promising, as for the latter...

Zhang Feng suddenly had an idea.

"Your Majesty, you said, if you give this far north land to other nobles, will those nobles want it?"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the king said without thinking:

"Of course not. After all, they are not stupid. For them, the extreme north is not only unable to increase any tax, but it is also a heavy burden. If you really have to accept it, it is very possible for them to be dragged down!"

The king even wanted to say that if he hadn't been the king, he would have sold the far north to others! If nothing else, at least the annual tax revenue will not be pulled down, and the accounts will look much better. After all, the extreme north has been the one that has been averaged over the years.

"Then you can give them the land of the extreme north. If they don't want it, I'll take over..."

Zhang Feng smiled like a little fox.

PS: I researched how to issue Easter egg stamps, and I made a simple map of Buck Kingdom before. The map should look clearer.

What happened in the other two days? There are 20 people suddenly missing from the post. Where are my 20 lovely readers? (?_?)
