Shengxing City is the capital of the ten kingdoms.
The city is a bustling and prosperous city, but outside the city there are people dying of hunger and countless beggars.
People who fled from various places came to Shengxing City, but they were turned away by the capital of this country.
"Beggars' dens and refugee dens were built one after another. Every day they guarded the city gate, hoping that the gentlemen inside would give them a bite of food.
The people outside Shengxing City frowned as they looked at the increasing number of refugees and hungry people.
Although they have a few acres of land, they have to bear extremely heavy taxes, and these hungry people often come to beg for food, and sometimes even steal or rob.
The government watched helplessly but did not care.
Even among those hungry people, the tragic phenomenon of cannibalism began. Some young and thin hungry people, regardless of gender, would be turned into a pile of bones the next day as long as they were caught by those extremely hungry people.
And the people in the villages outside the city also began to organize forces. The young and middle-aged people in the village held knives, sticks and dung and forks in their hands and patrolled inside and outside the village.
Because there are often hungry people outside the village. If your child gets lost, you will be gone.
Despite this, Sima Cheng, the emperor of Shifang Kingdom, still wanted to build a new palace for himself.
"I have lived in these palaces for two or three years now, and I am tired of living there. Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I order you to immediately select a site to build a new palace for me." Sima Cheng said to Liu Yunxing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Liu Yunxing went out to report: "Your Majesty, the national treasury deficit is getting serious day by day. There is no extra money to build the palace this year. Can I extend it for another year?"
"Kanyan? What should I do? Do you want me to continue to live in this old palace that has been built for three years?" Sima Cheng said coldly.
Liu Yunxing quickly apologized: "Your Majesty makes atonement, but I dare not."
¡°Then you will be given one year to build a new palace. If it is not completed within the time limit, I will blame you.¡± Sima Cheng said coldly.
Liu Yunxing said quickly: "Your Majesty, there is no money in the treasury now."
"Then raise taxes." Sima Cheng said, "Continue to raise taxes."
Hu Zida, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and said: "Your Majesty, five taxes have been increased this year. If there are more taxes, the people will have to drink from the northwest wind this year and next."
"What?!" Sima Cheng was shocked: "They still have northwest wind to drink from?"
After saying that, Sima Cheng said sternly: "Add, continue to add, and add ten more taxes."
A caravan of seven people entered Chuyang City and headed straight for the inn in Chuyang City.
Except for the middle-aged man at the head, the other six people were both men and women, but they did not behave like businessmen at all, but rather like experts who had been away from the world for a long time.
But now they are all dressed as businessmen, and they are also wearing very gorgeous brocade clothes.
The seven people booked a small courtyard in the inn and all moved in.
In the living room of the small courtyard, seven people were sitting on the table, looking at their faces. The middle-aged man in the lead was Xu Chong, the prefect of Qicheng, and the rest were Zhenyiguan Lingjizi, Mingjingshan Yuanwushitai, and Hongzhenguan. Xue Miaoyi, Qingfengting Ye Xuan, Gufengling Shizhong and several others.
As for Qiu Han, Xu Chong arranged to protect his family and move it to another safe place.
"This Zhang Yuluan actually conquered so many monks." Xu Chong, the governor of Qicheng, said with a dark face.
Ling Jizi raised his head and said, "Now we can only use our wits, not attack by force."
"How to outsmart him?" Ye Xuan asked.
Ling Jizi said: "Inquire about her whereabouts. As soon as she leaves the protection of these monks, take action immediately, capture her as quickly as possible, and seize the Emperor's Sword."
"Then we have to wait for her to leave the city." Master Yuanwu said slowly.
Shi Zhongdao: "Then, which one of us is going to find out her whereabouts?"
"We are businessmen." Xu Chong said slowly: "If a businessman wants to do business, he has to look for business everywhere. Isn't it normal?"
"It's normal." Xue Miaoyi said: "But we are monks, and monks have magic power. If there is magic power, the energy will leak out. There is no guarantee that it will not be noticed."
"I heard that Taoist Qixing was also accepted as a subordinate by Zhang Yuluan." Master Yuanwu said.
The faces of Shi Zhong and others immediately darkened, and their eyes became cautious.
"The Seven-Star Sword Formation of the Seven-Star Taoist is extremely powerful. Anyone who confronts the Seven-Star Taoist alone will definitely die."??Yuanwu Shitai said.
"So, we need to find someone else to explore the path." Ye Xuan said.
Xu Chong thought for a while and said: "This is easy. We just buy a shop in Chuyang City, then recruit some errand boys and let them go and find out for us."
"In addition." Xu Chong said with a genuine smile, "I also want to visit her in person."
"Who?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Zhang Yuluan." Xu Chong said.
The former Taishou Mansion is now the Juntian Dao Palace.
Wearing gorgeous brocade clothes and holding a greeting card in his hand, Xu Chong came to the gate of the Taoist Palace and said to a monk guarding the gate: "This gentleman invites you."
Wang Yan turned his eyes to Xu Chong and said, "What's the matter?"
Xu Chong handed over the greeting card and said: "I have admired the name of Taoist Lord for a long time, and I came here to pay my respects today. Please be accommodating, sir."
After saying that, Xu Chong took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and handed it directly to the monk.
An ingot of gold is not comparable to an ingot of silver. With the current prices in Shifang Kingdom, one ingot of gold is enough to buy half a county.
Wang extended his hand to take the gold ingot, then took the invitation card and said calmly: "Wait for me to report."
"Thank you, sir." Xu Chong was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.
Wang Yan turned around and entered the mansion, all the way to the back hall.
Zhang Yuluan was sitting cross-legged in the hall meditating and practicing. Wang Yan bowed outside the hall and said, "I would like to inform you, Taoist Master, that there is a merchant outside the door asking to see you."
Taoist Tianshu turned around and asked, "How much money were given?"
Wang Yan took out the ingot of gold and said, "I gave you an ingot of gold."
"It's a generous move." Zhang Yuluan opened his eyes and said slowly: "Let him come in, and the gold will be sent to the treasury."
"Yes." Wang Yan responded respectfully, then turned and left.
Not long after, Wang Yan came in again with Xu Chong.
Xu Chong came outside the main hall, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully: "I, Li Chang, pay my respects to Lord Tao."
Zhang Yuluan said: "Let him come in and talk."
Taoist Tianshu summoned: "Master Dao wants you to come in and talk."
"Thank you, Mr. Dao." Xu Chong stood up and walked into the hall. He walked to the middle of the hall without raising his head and worshiped again: "Xingcheng Li Chang, pay homage to Mr. Dao."
"Give me a seat." Zhang Yuluan said.
Taoist Tianshu pointed to the seat on the right and said, "Mr. Li, please sit down."
"Thank you Daojun for the seat." Xu Chong thanked him and stood up, then sat on the seat beside him, and then raised his head.
"When I raised my head, I immediately saw Zhang Yuluan above me. She was covered in aura, with ice muscles and jade bones, pure jade, and peerless elegance.
"There is no one with such a face in the world. Could it be the reincarnation of an immortal?"
At this moment, Xu Chong had such a weird idea in his mind.
"Mr. Li?" Zhang Yuluan called.
Li Chang suddenly came back to his senses. At nearly fifty years old, his face was as slightly red as when he was a teenager. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry for being disrespectful. Lord Dao, please atone for your sins."
"It's okay." Zhang Yuluan waved his hand and said, "I wonder what Mr. Li is here to visit?"
Li Chang stabilized his mind, thanked him, and then sat down and said, "That's it. I want to do business with Chuyang Mansion, but I don't know what the rules are, so I came here to pay homage to Lord Dao."
"There are no rules. Chuyang Mansion has free trade. I wonder what Mr. Li sells?" Zhang Yuluan asked.
Li Chang said: "Rice, noodles, oil and salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, as long as there is demand, I can sell them."
"Oh?" Zhang Yuluan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Li's business to be so big. Then my Chuyang Mansion wants food, does Mr. Li have it?"
Hearing this, Li Chang immediately said: "Yes, I wonder how much you want?"
Zhang Yuluan said: "It's not decided yet. Let's do this. If you come back in two days, my people will discuss it with you."
Li Chang nodded, then stood up and said: "In that case, I will come back in two days. In addition, this is a small thought."
With that said, Li Chang handed over the invitation card in his hand. Taoist Tianshu personally stepped forward to take the invitation card and then sent it to Zhang Yuluan.
Zhang Yuluan opened it and found that it was full of extremely precious treasures, delicacies and elixirs.
"Mr. Li is interested, Elder Tianshu, send Elder Li off for me." Zhang Yuluan said.
"As ordered." Elder Tianshu responded.
Li Chang bowed respectfully and said, "The vehicle is just outside the house. All you need to do is send someone to pick it up. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Li Chang walked out with Taoist Tianshu, and Taoist Tianshu also arranged for someone to pull back the carriage carrying the treasures given to Zhang Yuluan. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)I'm resigning. "
