Zither Emperor Chapter 520 Chapter 162 Six Conditions End_1

520: Chapter 162: Six Conditions (End)_1 520: Chapter 162: Six Conditions (End)_1 Ye Yinzhu was not in a rush, he smiled slightly and said, “Grandma, consider this, if I take these six cities according to the Six Paths of Reincarnation contract, wouldn’t the descendants of the Eastern Dragon still belong to our Qin City?”

Nina slammed the table and demanded, “Are you threatening me?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “How dare I threaten Grandma.

I am simply stating a fact.

I narrowly escaped death through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, don’t I deserve some pensation?

Even if I don’t demand goods equivalent to the value of the six cities, there shouldn’t be a huge difference, right?

The construction of Qin City needs manpower, from our perspective of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, having the descendants with the Dong Long Bloodline is obviously the best choice.

If you are unwilling, then let’s stick to the original contract and treat the six cities as pensation for the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Although it would be harder for us, I believe that, within six years, we can manage to move all the descendants of the Eastern Dragon Bloodline to Qin City.

But, by doing so, we probably won’t be able to assist Milan in resisting external enemies.”

Nina is staring intensely at Ye Yinzhu, whose gaze was calm.

He sat elegantly, as if he was playing the zither, smiling at Nina, yet not conceding at all.

Sura stood aside, her previous despair fading a little as she listened to Ye Yinzhu’s words, and nodded silently.

Suddenly, Nina laughed, “Well done, Yin Zhu.

No wonder you first mentioned helping Milan resist Flore, giving me a sweet date to savor before bringing up your real goal, making it hard for me to refuse, right?”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Grandma, I just assumed the position of the Regent and hence need to do something for the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

Otherwise, how can I earn their support?

The conditions I proposed are certainly more acceptable than the loss of six cities for Milan, aren’t they?”

Nina asked back: “Should I also equip these descendants of the Eastern Dragon with weapons and form an army of a million strong soldiers before handing them over to you?”

Ye Yinzhu laughed, “Of course not, how could I put forward such a difficult condition for you?

As you know, training an army is not easy.

Besides, the people with Eastern Dragon’s blood I want are not just young adults, but everyone from one to a hundred years old.

As long as Milan sends them, we will accept them all.

I also won’t demand any additional remuneration in terms of money or weapons.

Just feed these newers.

With the Priya Plains as a great backing, Milan has plenty of food supplies, right?

Consider this as my third condition.”

Nina took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions, “You’ve indeed grown up, meticulously planning these three conditions.

Exempting three years of taxes?

You’ll be the good guy but you’re actually making Milan feed the millions of people for you.

What a clever plan!

Can I refuse?

Alright, I agree to help you relocate the descendants of the Eastern Dragon Bloodline from the six cities.

But, Yin Zhu, I hope the conditions you mention afterward won’t cross my bottom line, otherwise we can call it quits today.

Even if I give you the six cities, Milan can still cut off all the resources of your Qin City.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Rest assured, Grandma, I think you’ll actually be willing to accept my following conditions.” Hearing Nina agree to his second and third conditions, Ye Yinzhu quietly sighed in relief.

Nina indifferently said: “Continue.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “My fourth condition is quite simple.

Since we are cooperating, I hope that over these six years, Milan can provide Qin City with a fair trading environment.

In other words, regardless of what kind of trade Qin City and Milan conduct, I would like the Milan Empire not to impose any restriction or increase taxes.

All trades should be based on the market price.

This condition isn’t too much, is it?”

Nina’s expression softened a bit.

“You are very thoughtful, I have no reason to reject this condition.

I can allow traders from Qin City to conduct any type of trade unrestricted in the entire territory of Milan.

But as you know, due to Faran’s decree, we cannot officially announce this decision.

We can only allow your trades covertly.

So, I would ask the people of Qin City to be discreet when trading.”

“Certainly,” Ye Yinzhu said.

“The Death God’s 500 Warriors acpanied me through life and death, and helped Milan win the championship of the Seven Kingdoms, Seven Dragon Cities petition, with our number reduced by 40%.

I cannot abandon these rades.

They are also descendants of the Eastern Dragon, with black hair and black pupils.

There are just 300 of them.

I’d like to ask Grandma to send them to Qin City, let them continue to follow me and participate in this military action against the Flore Empire.

I think, with them around, our campaign will be more effective.”

Nina frowned and said, “This isn’t as simple as just 300 people.

Every single one of them is the elite of the Empire, qualified to be military officers.

Even though there are only 300 of them, they are as powerful as a thousand soldiers.

How can I give such an elite force to you?

How can I explain this to Silvio?”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “It seems Uncle Silvio really listens to you.

I was wondering, but now I know.

You, Grandma, are the most powerful person in the Milan Empire.

Not to mention, you control the financial power that is arguably the lifeline of the Empire.”

“How did you know?” Nina asked, looking surprised at Ye Yinzhu.

A shrewd glint passed through Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “Would you believe me if I said I guessed?”

“You little rascal, tricking me.” It finally dawned on Nina, “You sly dog.

Alright, I’ll give you the three hundred people.

Now, what’s the last condition?”

Ye Yinzhu chuckled, “The migration of the Eastern Dragon’s descendants from six cities is a significant matter, and I don’t trust others to handle it.

This sixth condition is therefore that I hope you, Grandma, personally oversee the migration, while one of my people from Qin City supervises you.

Of course, you too can send someone from Milan to oversee our battle in Flore, which would be fair to both sides.

How about Oliveira?

As a standout among the younger generation of military officers in Milan, overseeing us would be fitting”

pared to the previous conditions, this final one did not seem like a condition at all.

Nina chided with a laugh, “You little rascal; you don’t trust your grandma?

You even want to send people to monitor me.”

Ye Yinzhu serenely replied, “Of course, monitoring is necessary.

However, I presume you’d be quite happy with someone closely monitoring you.

Grandpa Qin, I assign you the honorable task of closely monitoring Grandma to prevent her from reneging on this crucial condition.” He specifically emphasized the ‘closely’, and by the end of his statement, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Only then did Nina realize the implication, her face momentarily blushed, and she knocked his head lightly, “You rascal, how dare you make fun of your grandma,” she said, mock-threatening.

Qin Shang burst into laughter, “Yes, your Royal Highness Regent, rest assured the mission will be acplished.

I’ll be like a mosquito, sticking closely to her.”

Nina shot a glance at Qin Shang, “You old rogue, you’ve raised this cunning little rogue.

I’m fully aware that even if you want to take Oliveira away, whether he oversees you or is used by you.

Anyway, let it be.

Just as you wish.

After all, I’m your grandma.”

After listening to Ye Yinzhu’s six conditions, Nina felt much more at ease.

Frankly, the six conditions proposed by Ye Yinzhu were not excessive.

Albeit the difficulty, moving a million people was still far lesser in parison to the wealth of six cities.

Even if a significant amount of food was consumed to maintain this one million people for six years, the Milan Empire would have no difficulty bearing this burden.

The food could be considered as a trade-off for Qin City’s support against the Flore Kingdom – a deal worth making.

After all, Milan was the largest grain producing country on the continent.

Moreover, the crucial point was that Ye Yinzhu did not ask for any material resources or equipment.

As he said, building an army is not easy, as the equipment alone would cost astronomical figures.

Even if the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans accumulated some wealth, Nina did not believe that Qin City could train a large army in a short time.

It required extensive support from all aspects.

However, providing personnel was acceptable to her.

Although she seemed somewhat unhappy on the surface, she was actually very pleased with Ye Yinzhu’s proposals, feeling that her grandson had given her face.

“Alright, you’ve stated all your conditions, cooperation implies mutual benefit and sincerity.

You proposed six conditions, and I’ll only propose one.

For the next 20 years, unless Milan initiates an attack against Qin City, Qin City should not launch any form of attack against Milan.”

“Nina, are you implying that we can only passively wait to be attacked?” Qin Shang queried, frowning.

Ye Yinzhu raised his hand to stop his Grandpa Qin from continuing.

He nodded solemnly, “Grandma, I said before, I regard Milan as my second homeland.

I have never thought of waging war against Milan, nor do I have ambitions to unify the continent.

I can assure you of this.

I agree with your demand.

For the next twenty years, as long as Milan does not initiate an attack on Qin City, the Qin City Army will not encroach upon Milan at all.

If conditions permit, Qin City will even help Milan resist foreign enemies.

You can still regard Qin City as an affiliate of Milan, just a relatively independent one.”

As the saying goes, ‘it’s good to be under the shade of a big tree.’ Although the Milan Empire isn’t as formidable as Faran, which is more of an organization rather than a country, serving as a belief system for the Ryuzakinus Continent.

Now with Faran’s closure for ten years, even with the possession of six cities, being pletely isolated is highly detrimental to Qin City’s development.

Ye Yinzhu had his own considerations, and antagonizing the Milan Empire was certainly unwise.
