As long as you provide me with enough resources, I can allocate a piece of land for you to live on, but you will also have to pay taxes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he agreed to the request of the Snow Rabbit People was because the edge of the Black Stone Mountain Range was not within his effective control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Snow Rabbit People secluded deeper into the Black Stone Mountain Range, it would be difficult for Luo De to send people to capture them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending soldiers to eliminate them would be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unrewarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than that, it’s better to cooperate with them and have them pay taxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as this Snow Rabbit Tribe is willing to cooperate properly, Luo De naturally wouldn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair: \"Sixty percent of the yield from the farmland will be the tax, and if you hunt, sixty percent of the game will have to be submitted as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will allow you to cut down my trees to build houses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De suddenly thought of something and looked at the long-eared Snow Rabbit in front of him: \"Or, do you know how to build houses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noble Lord of Black Pine Ridge,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui softly replied: \"We live underground and prefer to dig burrows to survive inside them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded slightly, somewhat similar to what he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Durant and the others couldn’t find the trace of these Snow Rabbit People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People hiding underground, how would they find them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can also move to Frost Leaf Town for living; this way, my guards will also protect your safety. But remember, if you want to survive in Black Pine Ridge, you must comply with the laws here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you agreed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui was slightly stunned, with a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you provide me with enough resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De said calmly: \"I accept all kinds of resources—herbs, ores, meat, fur, and even slaves, all of it can work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any other requests?

Luo De’s grain is only for supporting his main army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such variables as the Snow Rabbit People, Luo De did not want to easily provide grain for trade, particularly since he had never sold grain to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s decisive refusal left Xue Rui momentarily at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what to do for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... how can you sell us grain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui cautiously asked, her azure eyes filled with nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will only provide grain to those who serve me, obeying all my commands for at least five years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at Xue Rui and said straightforwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want food, now is the time to tell me what you can do for me that will make me willing to provide grain to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo De resembled an interviewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Rabbit People must demonstrate a sufficiently submissive attitude and show their own value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui glanced at her companions nearby, thought for a moment, then answered: \"We can work for you! We know herbs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui quickly added: \"We have always lived in the mountains and fields, and we know many herbs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De shook his head slightly: \"That’s not considered a special ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are very resistant to cold, we can go out and be active in winter, and we can also find game and hunt for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui eagerly added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That does count as some ability, but not highly valuable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De frowned slightly, and pursued, \"Are you good at fighting?
