Yang Ling had always assumed that a major matter like dividing up the waters around Fire Flood Dragon Island would take at least a year or so of negotiations.
Even at the fastest, it would take ten days to half a month, followed by more powerful figures from both sides stepping in to make the final decision.
Yet in just half a day, a preliminary plan had already been settled.
"Everything south of the center of Fire Flood Dragon Island belongs to our Zhao State, and everything north belongs to the Rong Tribe."
"The Star Sea Fishing Alliance will carry on as before, but all the fishing villages and Fire Flood Dragon Island will be open to martial artists from Zhao State and the Rong Tribe."
"The Fire Spirit Pearls produced on Fire Flood Dragon Island will be divided in a ratio of four to four to two."
"And most importantly, the seafood and treasures produced in the waters around Fire Flood Dragon Island must no longer be sent elsewhere, including but not limited to the Great Dream Dynasty.
These goods may only be shipped to Zhao State and the Rong Tribe for sale.
As for which side they go to, that will probably depend on the prices negotiated."
Based on the negotiations he had overheard from a distance, Yang Ling gained a rough understanding of the arrangement.
"Disasters have been frequent across Zhao State and the Rong Tribe's territories lately, creating quite a few refugees."
"These refugees will be sent to the waters around Fire Flood Dragon Island and taken in by the fishing villages."
Minister Kong said with a faint smile, "We hope the Star Sea Fishing Alliance will make proper arrangements for them when the time comes."
"Of course, of course. A small matter."
