Another method. Hearing Xiatian's words, everyone looked at him again.
Right now, almost everyone here had no other choice, but Xia Zhi actually said that he had a way. The method just now sounded very powerful, but everyone understood that the Sunset Family would never agree to do such a thing.
Regardless of whether Xiatian's ability was real or fake, they would never let Xiatian try.
So, everyone wanted to hear Xiatian's second plan.
"Speak!" The mayor said directly.
He also wanted to hear what Xiatian was going to do. Since Xiatian was standing next to A Madman, it meant that he was with A Madman.
"Oh, it's very simple. We will rebuild the poverty area ourselves. We won't need anyone's help. That way, the poverty area will be ours in the future. We can build whatever we want there," Xiatian said calmly.
Eh!
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Rebuild the poverty area by themselves.
That meant that in the future, 100% of the poverty area's businesses would belong to the 300,000 people in the poverty area. No one would ever be able to join their own forces.
In the future, the poverty area would become the biggest family in Xin Du.
However, everyone understood that relying on the people in the poverty area would not be enough. Rebuilding the poverty area would require a lot of resources.
"Alright, if you have the money, you can rebuild it yourselves," the Luori family's elder said disdainfully.
He really looked down on the people in the poverty area. He also thought that the people in the poverty area definitely did not have the money. It was good enough that they could feed themselves.
That was because the big families were giving them charity.
Of course.
In the eyes of the big families, the people in the poverty area were the cheapest labor force.
The wages they gave the people in the poverty area were only one-fifth of normal wages.
This was the price that the big families had discussed before.
It was also to change the direction of suppressing the poverty area.
Right now, the poverty area was extremely poor.
Not to mention rebuilding the slums, even if they were allowed to live outside the city, they would still need the help of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Just treat your words as farts. I want to listen to the City Lord. If the City Lord agrees, then we will rebuild. Of course, after rebuilding, we can freely recruit people. After all, if we want to build more houses and businesses, we can also contact them ourselves. The most important thing is the tax. According to the rules of the Secret Wilderness, the tax of new areas will be reduced by half. Therefore, this is also necessary." Although Xiatian had just arrived at the Tian Ling Continent, he had been reading about this world every day.
This was one of his habits.
No matter how strong he was now, he had to know the enemy as well as himself.
Knowledge is power.
He would also use this knowledge to enrich himself.
Face slapping!
Xiatian had slapped the Luori Family's elder in the face.
That's right, at a time like this, the Sunset Family's elder's words were of no use because he wasn't the City Lord. Only the City Lord's agreement would be effective.
"Stinking brat, are you tired of living?" The Luori Family's elder's gaze turned cold.
Losing face in front of so many people, he was naturally very unhappy.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Let me ask you, do you have the final say? Or do you represent the City Lord? Do you think the City Lord will listen to your words? "Xiatian looked at the Luori Family's elder and Asked.
Eh!
Hearing this, the Luori Family's elder didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was just mocking Xiatian just now.
He didn't expect Xiatian to be so serious.
He even said that he represented the City Lord.
At this moment, the City Lord's expression was very ugly.
As a foreign City Lord, he had always been careful of the local nobles because he could be killed by them if he wasn't careful. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
However, being careful was one thing.
No matter how careful he was, he couldn't say that he was afraid of these people.
Furthermore, he couldn't allow these people to replace him.
"City Lord, that's not what I meant. I just …"
"Forget it." The City Lord looked at Xiatian. "Who are you?"
He didn't understand who Xiatian was. How could he speak so calmly in such a situation? In his heart, he didn't think that the Poverty District would have the money to rebuild.
"Oh, I'm just an ordinary alchemist. I'm here to participate in the Xin Du Tournament. At the same time, I'm also the cause of this incident. I'm the brat that the Luori Family wants to deal with," Xiatian said.
The brat that the Luori Family wanted to deal with.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Everyone had heard that the Luori Family had suffered a great loss when dealing with an outsider. They'd lost hundreds of thousands of red gold.
However, although they'd heard of this person, they'd never seen him before.
Now, they saw him.
This person was the Xiatian in front of them.
"So it's you!!" The City Lord and the Luori Family members all looked at Xiatian.
Xiatian nodded. "That's right, it's me. Since the Poverty District was destroyed because of me, I naturally have to help them rebuild it."
"A brat like you dares to say such things? How are you going to rebuild it?" The City Lord said disdainfully.
"Then let's make a bet." Xiatian looked at the Luori Family Elder.
"A bet? Do you have what it takes? "Asked the Luori Family Elder.
"Let's ask the City Lord's opinion before we make a bet. If the City Lord agrees to rebuild it, then let's make a bet," Xiatian said.
The City Lord frowned. He had a feeling that things weren't that simple, but he didn't know what to say. If he said no, then it would be obvious that he was deliberately making things difficult for the Poverty District.
However, if he agreed and the Poverty District was rebuilt, then it would have great influence in Xin Du in the future.
In fact, A Madman would be even harder to control in the future.
The reason why A Madman wasn't much of a threat now was because he didn't have money or power.
However, if he had money and power, then he could become his greatest enemy in the future.
"City Lord, did you deliberately destroy our Poverty District? Is that why you don't agree now?" Xiatian asked directly.
"Of course not, I agree. However, we must start immediately. Don't delay the development of Xin Du," the City Lord replied immediately.
After saying that, he regretted it.
However, since he'd already said it, then forget it.
Then, Xiatian looked at the Luori Family Elder in front of him with a smile. "I'm going to bet my head with you. Do you dare?"
