Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Six: Building the City

""Is the Heavenly Pride serious about this?"

"Of course."

"Then the old man would like... would like..." Shen Dafa struggled uncomfortably, wringing his hands repeatedly in front of him. After repeating "would like" over a dozen times, he finally forced out a number, "I would like two, no! A million catties of grain."

Having made his demand, he looked at Tang Luo anxiously, feeling guilty as if his request was too much.

"Understood." Tang Luo's face remained impassive as he willingly agreed.

With Shen Dafa as an example, all the other renowned people of Xiling started to voice their grain needs, even though they were much more conservative with their numbers.

"Eight hundred thousand catties."

"Six hundred thousand catties."

"Five hundred and fifty thousand catties."

"Five hundred thousand catties."

By the end, some only dared to ask for fifty thousand or thirty thousand catties.
