Chapter 368: Chapter 368 We Can’t Afford to Compensate
“Mr. President, I found the earliest record. The land purchased by the Leiteng Family is located at the very center of our Dongkou Country, where your Prime Minister’s residence is built on.” The Director of the Land Bureau said helplessly.
“How could this happen…” Kazama Suke’s face turned ashen. “Twenty thousand square kilometers of land, that’s a huge sum even hundreds of years ago. Even if we pooled all the money from that era in Dongkou Country, could it buy such land?”
“Mr. President, it’s not that simple. I checked historical records. The Leiteng Family, like the Qingmu Family, is a family with a lineage of over two thousand years.”

“The Leiteng Family existed even before our Dongkou Country was founded. They were among the earliest to engage in overseas trade. There seemed to be many skilled craftsmen within their family, who created very advanced tools of that time.”
“Subsequently, through maritime trade, large quantities of precious metals, spices, furs, and such flowed into our Dongkou Country. At that time, the Leiteng Family could be considered the uncrowned kings of Dongkou Country. The gold, silver, diamonds, and other valuable items they owned could buy more than twice that land area.”
