"First, while you will be under the jurisdiction and protection of the Li Family, we will not interfere in conflicts between Lower Three Grade Families. Only forces of the Middle Third Grades or higher may pay a price to have the Li Family handle matters. If you are oppressed by an outside force, you may report it to the Li Family, regardless of your family's Grade."
"Second, you must pay a certain amount of resources each year as a protection fee. These resources fall into three categories: grain, Medicinal Materials, and silver coins.
The Cheng Family is a family-based power, so the required amount will be determined by its Grade. The Celestial Break Gang, however, is considered a Sect-affiliated gang, so its tribute requirement is different from a family's."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but ask, "And how much would we be required to pay?"
