Chapter 4844: Betting on Your Head
Another way, after hearing Xia Tian's words, everyone looked at him again.
Now almost everyone here has no way, but Xia Tian actually said that he has a way. The method just now sounds very powerful, but everyone also understands that the Sunset Family will never agree to him doing that kind of thing.
Regardless of whether Xia Tian's ability is true or false, they will never let Xia Tian try.
So everyone now wants to hear Xia Tian's second method.
"Speak!" The city lord also said directly.
He also wanted to hear what tricks Xia Tian would play. Since Xia Tian was standing next to the madman, it proved that he and the madman were in the same group.
"Oh, it's very simple, that is, we will rebuild the poverty-stricken area by ourselves, without the help of anyone outside, so that the poverty-stricken area will be ours in the future, and we can build it into any shape we want." Xia Tian said lightly.
Uh!
When they heard this, everyone was stunned.
Rebuild the poverty-stricken area by ourselves.
That means that in the future, 100% of the business in the poverty-stricken area will become the 300,000 people in the poverty-stricken area, and others will never be able to add their own forces to it.
Even in the future, the poor area will become the largest family in Xindu.
However, everyone also understands that they have no money to rebuild the poor area by relying on those people in the poor area. Rebuilding the poor area requires a lot of resources.
"Okay, if you have money, just rebuild it yourself." The elder of the Sunset Family said with disdain.
He really looked down on these people in the poor area. He also believed that these people in the poor area must have no money. It was good enough for them to support themselves.
That was still the charity of the major families.
Of course.
In the eyes of those major families, people in the poor area are the cheapest labor.
The wages they pay to people in the poor area are only one-fifth of normal people.
This is the price negotiated by the major families before.
It is also to suppress the poor area in a roundabout way.
The poor area now is so poor.
Let alone rebuilding the poor area, even if they are allowed to live outside the city, they still need relief from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Just treat your words as farts. I want to listen to the city lord. If the city lord says it's okay here, then we will rebuild. Of course, after the reconstruction, we can recruit people freely. After all, we need to build more houses. If there is business, we can also contact ourselves. The most important thing is taxes. According to the rules of the secret wilderness, the taxes in the newly built areas must be reduced by half, so this is also necessary." Although Xia Tian has only been in Tianling Continent for a short time, he reads information about this world every day.
This is his habit.
No matter how strong he is now, he must know himself and the enemy.
Knowledge is power.
He will also use this knowledge to enrich himself.
Slap in the face!
Xia Tian slapped the face of the Sunset Elder.
That's right, at this time, the words of the Sunset Elder are useless, because he is not the city lord at all. Only the city lord agrees to it.
"Stinky boy, have you lived enough?" The eyes of the Sunset Elder turned cold.
He was naturally very unhappy to lose face in front of so many people.
"What? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Let me ask you, do you have the final say? Or can you represent the city lord, and the city lord will definitely listen to what you say?" Xia Tian looked at the elder of the Sunset Family and asked.
Uh!
When hearing this, the elder of the Sunset Family didn't know what to say for a moment.
He just wanted to mock Xia Tian.
I didn't expect Xia Tian to be so serious.
He even said the words of representing the city lord directly.
At this time, the city lord's face was also very ugly.
An outsider city lord has been careful about the local dignitaries since he came here, because if he is not careful, he may be killed by the local dignitaries. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
But he is careful.
No matter how careful he is, it is impossible to say that he is really afraid of these family members.
And he does not allow these people to replace him.
"City Lord, I didn't mean that. I just..."
"Forget it." The City Lord said and looked at Xia Tian: "Who are you?"
He didn't understand who Xia Tian was and why he could speak so calmly in such a scene. He also thought that the poverty-stricken area had no money to rebuild.
"Oh, I'm just an ordinary alchemist who came to participate in this Xindu competition. I'm also the fuse of this incident. I'm the kid that the Sunset Family wants to deal with." Xia Tian said afterwards.
The kid that the Sunset Family wants to deal with.
When they heard this, everyone was stunned.
Everyone has heard that the Sunset Family suffered a great loss when dealing with an outsider this time, losing hundreds of thousands of red gold.
But although everyone has heard of this person, they have never seen this person.
Now they see it.
This person is the Xia Tian in front of them.
"It turns out to be you!!" The City Lord and the people of the Sunset Family all looked at Xia Tian one by one.
Xia Tian also nodded: "Yes, it's me. Since the poverty-stricken area was destroyed because of me, I will naturally help them rebuild."
"You are just a stinky boy, and you dare to say such a thing. What can you rebuild with?" The city lord of the Sunset Family said with great disdain.
"Then let's make a bet." Xia Tian looked at the elder of the Sunset Family.
"Bet? Do you have the capital?" The elder of the Sunset Family asked.
"Before making a bet, ask the city lord's opinion. If the city lord agrees to rebuild, then the two of us will make a bet." Xia Tian said.
The city lord frowned. He always felt that things were not that simple, but at this time he didn't know what to say. If he disagreed, it would be clear that he deliberately made things difficult for the poor area.
But if he agreed, if the poor area built itself, it would have a great influence in Xindu in the future.
Even the madman would be more difficult to control in the future.
The reason why the madman is not a big threat now is that he has no money and no power.
But if he has money and power, he may become his biggest enemy in the future.
"City lord, did you deliberately let someone demolish our place, so you don't agree now?" Xia Tian asked directly.
"Of course not, I agree, but we must start construction immediately, so as not to delay the development of Xindu." The city lord also answered instantly.
He regretted it after he said it.
But since it has been said, forget it.
Then Xia Tian looked at the elder of the Sunset Family in front of him with a smile: "I plan to bet my head with you, do you dare?"
