As soon as this statement came out, the scene was filled with embarrassment, and everyone was a little embarrassed by what Jiang Yuan said.
After all, theft is not something that can be brought to light. It's fine if no one knows about it in private, but few people can avoid being embarrassed if it is teased in public.
However, the embarrassment was embarrassing. Who were the people in the meeting? They were all Daluo Golden Immortal. They were as thick-skinned as mountains. They quickly adjusted their emotions and acted as if nothing had happened. They curiously asked Jiang Yuan:
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to relax the restrictions on Profound Yellow Grain and allow us to plant it?"
This question is very critical. As Jiang Yuan said, they know exactly what Profound Yellow Grain does. It is a rare spiritual grass that can extract black and yellow energy. If there is an opportunity to plant it, they must not let it go.
"Of course!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, confirming their guess.
"I wonder how much you are willing to pay?"
When everyone heard this, they all became excited and even impatiently asked about the price of Profound Yellow Grain seeds.
After seeing that the stolen seeds could not survive outside the territory of Human Race, they basically gave up the idea of planting Profound Yellow Grain.
But I never expected that it would take a turn of events. They had just given up here, and Jiang Yuan had changed their minds over there and was ready to take the initiative to relax the restrictions on Profound Yellow Grain's seeds.
"One percent!"
Jiang Yuan was silent for a long time, until everyone could no longer wait any longer and was about to speak out to urge him, then he spoke slowly.
"One percent?"
"What 10%?"
The quotation of Jiang Yuan puzzled everyone.
"10% of the harvest!"
"I will lend you the Profound Yellow Grain seeds. When they mature next year, you will return me 10% of the harvest."
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Jiang Yuan explained. This is the tithe, one for every ten. How much money can he make by selling seeds? He collects the tithe directly, which is more profitable than selling seeds.
"One percent? This is too much!"
Someone complained and wanted to bargain, but before he could speak, another person asked the most critical question:
"How many times can the borrowed seeds mature?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was suddenly shocked. If the borrowed seeds can mature indefinitely, then 10% is indeed not much, it can even be said to be quite little.
But is this possible?
Sure enough, in their expectant eyes, Jiang Yuan gave them an answer that disappointed them, "Once!"
"The seeds lent to you can only mature once after leaving Human Race, and the fruits cannot be planted as new seeds."
"After this time, if you want to get new seeds, you have to exchange them for Profound Yellow Grain. Thousands of Profound Yellow Grain, exchange for one seed."
When one Profound Yellow Grain seed matures, it can bear ten thousand fruits. One thousand fruits can be exchanged for one, no more, no less, exactly one tenth.
"This is too much!"
Everyone was very dissatisfied and shouted.
Jiang Yuan ignored them until their voices gradually decreased, and then he said, "10% is already Sage's favor, otherwise I would have to take 50%."
"Fifty percent?!"
Someone couldn't hold it back and exclaimed.
They couldn't accept 10%, let alone more than 50%.
How is it possible that they have done nothing but provide seeds and take away half of their harvest? How is this possible? They really don't think they have a knife in their hands!
"You all know the function of Profound Yellow Grain. If the Wu-Yao two tribes master this thing, will they share it with you? Even if they do, how much percentage do you think they will take?"
"Leaving you 10% is considered to be a lot. The greater possibility is to capture you as slaves and plant Profound Yellow Grain for them day and night."
"Compared to the Wu-Yao clan, is my 50% charge very high?"
"This is a creation related to Sage. Although I can keep it to myself, I am willing to share it with you."
"In this case, I only took half of the harvest and left half for you. It can be said to be very kind."
Seeing their dissatisfaction, Jiang Yuan said angrily, and even carried out Sage.
"Since you can take 50%, why did you change it to 10%, fellow Daoist?"
Although what Jiang Yuan said was very reasonable, these old foxes did not accept this idea at all, and instead asked him in return.
"That's because my master is merciful and doesn't want you to suffer too much, so he sent me a special kindness and ordered me to change the 50% to 10%."
"Otherwise, how could I let you take advantage of this?"
Jiang Yuan said angrily, with an expression as if this was really happening.
"It turns out it means Sage. Daoist fellow Daoist has already told me, so we have no objection."
After everyone heard that this was what Lady Nuwa meant, they immediately changed their attitude. No one dared to object and they all agreed.
In fact, they also suspected that Jiang Yuan made up these remarks himself. But so what? Could they still go to Lady Nuwa to confront him?
Besides, Jiang Yuan is right, 10% is actually very little, at least they can keep 90%. If it were the Wu-Yao family, they might not be able to keep even 10%.
Don't say that Human Race is not as good as Wu-Yao, if you can't compare it like this. Of course you can't compare it like this, but the problem is, Jiang Yuan now represents Lady Nuwa, not Human Race.
Human Race is not as good as Wu-Yao, but what about Lady Nuwa? If not, I don't know, but it will definitely be enough to make them bow their heads.
"Very good, then it's settled."
After seeing everyone's performance, Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
They are all smart people, and no idiot would ask, since Sage wants to show kindness, why not just give it free of charge and take away 10% of the harvest?
If there really is such an idiot, then Jiang Yuan can only tell him to get out.
Fortunately, no, but this is normal. Idiots cannot become Daluo Golden Immortal. Those who can become Daluo Golden Immortal are smart people.
"Please also ask fellow Daoist to give you the method of planting. You are a disciple of Sage. You must know more than us in this regard."
Everyone requested again that it was not enough to have seeds. It would be best to have a matching planting method, which would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.
"This is a simple matter. There will be someone to teach you during the handover."
Jiang Yuan nodded, indicating that it was no problem. Then, everyone thanked him one after another.
The matter should have come to an end at this point, but remembering the transmission system he had previously conceived, Jiang Yuan became interested and continued to say to everyone:
"Now that we have finished talking about the business, I can now talk to you about the things that I mentioned earlier that will benefit us."
Before anyone could speak, he said to himself, "Primordial World is vast and vast, and it is not peaceful. There are crises everywhere."
"This makes the various tribes dominate one area, but communication is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. And even if you successfully arrive, a lot of time will be wasted due to the long distance."
"In response to this matter, I want to set up formations among the various tribes that can teleport to each other. In this way, if the tribes want to communicate with each other, they don't need to take risks and rush. They only need to pass the corresponding Teleportation Array to quickly reach the destination."
