After pondering for a moment, Tai Yingzong asked his second question.
“To let you become the ruler of the entire Sheng Kingdom, does that mean that we have to submit to you?”
“No.” Jiang Beiran shook his head immediately.” We are equals. I will not interfere with the management of your sects, nor will I order you to do anything. My duty is to coordinate the resources of the various states and mediate for you when conflicts arise between the states.”
“Not submitting?”
For a moment, Ji Qinglin felt better.
The vote he had cast just now was a little impulsive. When he thought about how he was about to become the lackey of a young boy, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
But now that he heard that they were equals, even though it was just a verbal statement, he felt much better.
Yin Jianghong smiled and glanced at Jiang Beiran, feeling that his answer was very good.
Meng Sipei let out a long sigh of relief. If she used this explanation, it would be easier for her to explain herself when she went back.
Nodding, Tai Yingzong threw out a few more questions, all of which revolved around the extent of Jiang Beiran’s power.
Jiang Beiran answered them one by one, then looked at everyone and said with a smile,””Let’s put it this way. After leaving this door, everyone here will still be the highest authority in their respective regions. As long as no one here says anything, no one will know that there is an additional person in charge of the Sheng Kingdom. ”
Hearing this, Ji Qinglin couldn’t help but ask, “”You mean you want to hide behind the scenes?”
“That’s right.” Jiang Beiran nodded.” The reason why I’m saying all this to everyone today is so that the three states of the Sheng Kingdom can work together and work together. We won’t have to do things our own way or even fight against each other for power.””
After hearing this, the few people present could not help but fall silent. Indeed, before Jiang Beiran arrived, they were still arguing endlessly over the division of territory, and they had even almost fought each other. How could they have any awareness of being in the same country?
When he thought of the territorial struggle, Tai Yingzong said,””Then, I have one last question.” “Please speak.”
“If your decision causes the interests of Feng Province to be harmed, will you still enforce it?”
“No.” Jiang Beiran shook his head.”
Tai Yingzong was a little confused after hearing this. He was about to speak when Jiang Beiran continued,”
“I’ll persuade you to carry it out later.”
“Hahahaha!” Yin Jianghong laughed out loud.” You mean that in your future plans, some of us will definitely suffer, right?”
“Cult Master Yin, judging from the current good situation of Lin County, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to realize that in the overall development, it’s best to prioritize the resources in one area. As the saying goes, the rich first will lead to the rich later. Only by letting a part of the area get rich first can it promote the progress of the surrounding areas.”
“Alright.” Yin Jianghong waved her hand.” You don’t have to explain so much to me now. Since I’ve voted for you, it means that I agree with your views. No matter how the Sheng Kingdom develops in the future, we will follow your lead. ”
Upon hearing Yin Jianghong’s respect, Jiang Beiran cupped his fists and said,””Cult Master Yin, please rest assured. I promise you that the future of Sheng Country will be as you wish.”
“I look forward to that day.”
When the conversation between the two was over, Tai Yingzong suddenly turned to Jiang Beiran and asked,””Do you have wine?”
Jiang Beiran was stunned at first, but then he smiled and took out a jar of
Baimozhi wine from his Cosmos Ring.””Yes, the best wine!”
The moment Jiang Beiran opened the wine bottle, everyone present revealed an intoxicated expression.
Jiang Beiran placed seven bowls on the table and filled them with wine.
Tai Yingzong was the first to ask for wine, so he took the lead to pick up a bowl of wine and said to Jiang Beiran,'”‘ I still remember the night when I first discussed Feng Province with you, Bei Ran. I have always believed that you are an outstanding leader. From the performance and words of the other sect masters and sect masters, you must have many other amazing aspects that I don’t know about. I hope that after I give my vote, I won’t be like an outsider in the next meeting. Here, cheers to you.”
“Definitely.” Jiang Beiran smiled and clinked his wine bowl with Tai Yingzong’s.
“Gulp…Gulp… Ha…”
After Jiang Beiran finished the wine in his bowl, Ji Qinglin also picked up a wine bowl and looked at Jiang Beiran.””All my trust in you comes from Master, but I will use my own eyes to get to know you again. If I find that you are not as godly as Master says, I will quit at any time.”
Jiang Beiran could tell that this was Ji Qinglin’s last bit of stubbornness, so he didn’t refuse. Smiling, he said,””Alright, then please open your eyes wide and take a good look.”
“Awesome! This toast is for you!”
Ji Qinglin raised his bowl and downed it in one gulp, then turned the bowl upside down on the table.
After Ji Qinglin finished toasting, the others also took Jiang Beiran’s freshly filled wine bowl.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran poured himself another bowl of wine and raised it to the others.””Thank you for your kindness, seniors. From today onwards, I hope that all of you can work together to build the country into the most ideal state.
I toast this cup of wine to all of you.”
Jiang Beiran raised his head and finished the wine in his bowl.
“Alright, let’s work together!” Huo Hongfei stood up and was the first to respond to Jiang Beiran’s slogan. He finished the wine in his bowl. No matter what the others were thinking, they all shouted in unison.
“Work together!”
After drinking, Jiang Beiran had secured his position as the number one man in the country.
Truly monopolizing power!
After Ji Qinglin had fully acknowledged Jiang Beiran as the person in charge, his messy mind cleared up a lot.
After he sat down again, he looked at the Shi family’s waist token in front of
Jiang Beiran and asked, ‘”‘Then what should we call you now, Alliance Master?”
Jiang Beiran shook his head decisively.” Of course not. The three states are one.
How can there be an alliance?'”‘
“Then what should I teach you?”
Even though Jiang Beiran felt that it was fine to address him by his name, addressing him by his name was still rather important to a leader. This was where dignity lay. If he were to address him too casually, he would lose a lot of prestige.
However, Jiang Beiran had no intention of returning to his position as the Emperor. After all, he preferred to stay behind the scenes. At the same time, the Sheng Kingdom had yet to be transformed into a country that worshipped the royal family.
“Just call me…Supremacy.”
“Venerable…Sure, as long as you think you deserve this title.””Venerable One, can you tell us how much weight that waist token carries?” Ji Qinglin asked.”
Picking up the token, Jiang Beiran smiled and replied,””Everyone only needs to know that it is enough to protect our country..”
