"What? Your Excellency, with all due respect, if the tariff is only half a year, it will be difficult for me to convince Your Majesty to agree to this agreement!" The dwarf looked very difficult to deal with.

"Oh?" Zhang Lu sneered, and then said: "But you have signed this agreement before, do you want to go back on it now?"

"Dwarves, are they such a renegade race?"

This sentence made the dwarf captain blush instantly. He stood up and looked at Zhang Lu and said, "No, but I was the one who signed the agreement, not His Majesty. Your Majesty would not agree without more conditions." !”

Zhang Lu did not react to his words. Although the dwarf captain was only level 5, in the dwarf kingdom, level 5 was already considered a unique figure. Their combat effectiveness was based on forging skills, so dwarves who could perform such an important task The captain should also be able to represent the country.

"Don't agree? If you feel that you cannot represent the dwarf kingdom, then you can go back first and find someone who can represent the dwarf kingdom. Otherwise, after we finish talking, your country will say that you cannot represent the dwarf kingdom. Wouldn't that be wrong? Want to talk about it again?”

The dwarf captain gritted his teeth. He didn't want to do this, but the situation in the country did not allow him to give in. We must negotiate now, otherwise the people will starve. The food he brought back from the Sheep Country this time was only enough for the people for three months. rations.

If you cut back on food and clothes, you can only eat for five months, but it will take at least three months to go back and forth. If Zhang Lu delays it again, what will happen to the dwarf kingdom?

"Wait a minute! The previous agreement can continue, but we can add some other transactions. I heard that the ruins that you occupied in the Second Coming City are being reclaimed?"

Seeing that the dwarf finally reached the key point, Zhang Lu nodded and said, "That's right, the Yang Kingdom gave up on Chonglin City, and the Huang Kingdom didn't choose to occupy it, so I tried to rebuild it."

The dwarf captain then said: "Although our dwarf kingdom has always imported food from the Elf Empire and various human kingdoms, without the City of Second Coming, the price of food will definitely rise, so I want to reach a deal with you to import food. As long as we The current market price will be the same.”

He must not show an expression that he is in urgent need of food, nor can he show an indifferent look, otherwise Zhang Lu will also become suspicious. It is very normal to want to buy cheap food. In Zhang Lu's eyes, his behavior It's normal.

However, since the dwarf caravan entered the Fairyland, Wen Zhong has been receiving intelligence about them. Based on each piece of intelligence, he has already judged that the food shortage in the dwarf kingdom is not as easy as they said. Anyone who knows this information Zhang Lu was in a better position to negotiate.

"So your country wants to buy food from me?" Zhang Lu showed an embarrassed expression, and then said: "You don't know, I have just occupied Chonglin City, and the fields outside the city are still being cultivated. I want to provide It’s really difficult to have such a large amount of food.”

"Excuse me, Lord, is it a lack of manpower or planting technology? If it is a lack of planting technology, then our country can provide relevant planting technology to your territory."

There is no use for things like planting technology that the dwarves want. Anyway, there is almost no land for planting in the country. It is better to trade it to Zhang Lu in exchange for what they want.

Seeing that the other party took the bait, Zhang Lu sighed and said: "It's not a technical problem, but a lack of manpower, and our territory has recently transformed a large number of professionals. As you know, professionals consume a lot of food, so our territory now also lacks food."

"In order to have more manpower, we also use food to attract refugees to reclaim farmland. This will definitely be beneficial to development in the long run, but in the short term, the territory really cannot produce more food and grass."

The dwarf captain looked bitter when he heard this, and said tentatively: "Can't you produce more food and grass after three months? There should be elves in your territory. With the help of elves, the food production should be greatly increased!"

"Elves!" Zhang Lu showed a melancholy expression, and then murmured: "But the number of elves is not enough. There are so many farmlands in the territory that need elves, and they have no skills at all!"

"This" dwarf captain is a little desperate. If Zhang Lu really can't give them food and grass in a short time, then when will he go? Are you really cutting back on food and clothing? How can the dwarf miners have the strength to mine?

"But," Zhang Lu paused, and then said, "If we don't continue to recruit refugees on a large scale, we can save some food and sell it to the dwarf kingdom to show our friendship."

Zhang Lu's words gave the dwarf captain hope, and he immediately said: "That's good, then at what price are you going to sell your territory?"

He said it urgently, as if he didn't want to give Zhang Lu a chance to regret it.

"Actually, I'm not very short of money right now, so I want to exchange other things with your country."

"What is it?" The dwarf captain is already ready. Even if he wants more magic core cannons, he can only give them to him!

"I want a group of dwarves!" Zhang Lu stated his request.

"What!" After hearing this, the dwarf captain hammered the table in front of him, looked at Zhang Lu angrily, and said loudly: "Impossible, we will not let anyone become a slave in the human kingdom!"

Zhang Lu didn't care about his rudeness, but said calmly: "I am not a slave. I believe you have seen it. There are elves in my territory. Do you think we treat them as slaves?"

"And it's not just elves, there are orcs in my capital territory." He remembered that some of the orcs he rescued some time ago stayed in the fairyland.

"This" the dwarf captain couldn't handle it again. What Zhang Lu said was the truth. If letting a few dwarves join the Immortal Realm in exchange for a large amount of food for the people, then they could only agree.

"Then have you decided?" Zhang Lu said condescendingly. They are no longer afraid of the elite team that may be sent by the dwarf kingdom, so they have the confidence to talk to them like this!

"Then we have no choice but to agree. However, the price of the grain and grass we trade between us needs to be calculated based on 90% of the current market price. Is there no problem?" The dwarf captain sat back again. He smiled bitterly. The negotiation is not something he can control now. , he is now sure that Zhang Lu has learned about the situation in the Dwarf Kingdom, but he can't think of where he got the information about this territory from?

"No problem. I also put forward our requirements. We require that the dwarf craftsmen you send really want to stay here, and they need to have forging skills in agriculture, armor, etc."

"no problem!"

The two reached a consensus, Zhang Lu stood up and stretched out his hand towards the dwarf captain, and the big and small hands were held together!
