Chapter 22: Self-Saving by Grace
After the rewards of the three secret books are thrown out, the effect will be immediate.
A large number of players rushed towards Xiliang City, and most of the players were called by merchants or merchant groups in Xiliang City. The benefits of three excellent martial arts secrets are much higher than money.
Moreover, these secrets are priceless and can be sold for at least 100 million gold, but what you can get is far higher than 100 million gold. You said that although the martial arts of practicing Sword Sect, Sword Sect and Stick Sect can be more than ten gods, at least they can be similar to ten gods? This undoubtedly means that there is a first-class master. If one master is in charge of the gang, it will be better than ten million players.
Players who rushed from all directions suddenly squeezed into Xiliang City, but there were too many people who could easily cause trouble, so the rules were set in Xiliang City.
Anyone who makes trouble in the city without reason and causes trouble is expelled from the city at a low level, and the worst is killed on the spot. The gang, guild, and merchant groups in which they are located will be expelled from the city and confiscated all property.
The city gate is also heavily guarded. After all, tens of thousands of players flocked to Xiliang City, and the troops on Xiliang City are only a few thousand, and the rest are all distributed in various mining areas.
When a player enters the city to pay the taxes, the tax collector in the city gate who is responsible for collecting taxes will explain the rules to the players and point out the key points.
There are also many players who want to cause some trouble for Xiliang City and make a mess, but soon they find that this is an unwise behavior because the players around them want you to make trouble and then drive them out of the city. In this way, they have lost another competitor.
Originally, only one inn was set up in Xiliang City, but Li Gu saw that he had to set up a place for the elders in the city to open an inn.
But on the same day, after Li Gu announced a reward, he suddenly realized that he sent more people to convert the civilian houses on a street in the city into an inn overnight to solve the need. Later, a large inn opened by the city lord's mansion was rebuilt in the west of the city.
This is a considerable income, not to mention that there are too many vacant houses in Xiliang City, and the land of these houses is in the hands of the city lord's mansion, so as long as Li Gu's words are spoken, they can be developed.
Li Gu thought about it very comprehensively. Not only was the city lord's mansion going to open an inn, but even the people who moved into the city who had to give them enough benefits. So Li Gu divided a piece of land into the most prosperous commercial area in the east of the city and let the relatives of the Xiliang horse thief open an inn.
On the one hand, they were allowed to take root in Xiliang City. Originally, Xiliang horse thieves were from Xiliang, so they would not be disgusted with living in Xiliang City. On the other hand, they were kind to Xiliang horse thieves, and Xiliang horse thieves resisted nearly 100,000 alien horse thieves for Xiliang City. Although both sides have a relationship of interest, Xiliang horse thieves paid much more than Xiliang City. If Xiliang horse thieves did not drag the alien horse thieves to hold on to the alien horse thieves, then the alien horse thieves might only sweep Xiliang City that day. Not to mention protecting the relatives of Xiliang horse thieves, even Li Gu would not be able to take care of the safety of the people in the city.
Not only did they allocate land to open inns, Li Gu even left a shop to give to Xiliang Horse Thief. Although Xiliang City kept providing weapons, equipment and food to Ma Yunqi, all they gave were hard-earned money. Li Gu wanted Ma Yunqi and the others to do business by themselves, so that they knew that weapons, equipment and food were not just there, and it was so simple.
Although Ma Yunqi did not show anything, every time he delivered weapons and equipment, several adults could see that Ma Yunqi's subordinates looked as if they were taken for granted.
It’s okay for Ma Yunqi to be the head of the family, but there are unexpected situations. If something happens to Ma Yunqi, will the next Xiliang horse thief be like Ma Yunqi? If it continues for a long time, it will only increase the other party’s arrogance.
If the Xiliang horse thief is not conquered into Xiliang City, he will always be a double-sided blade.
In this regard, let them do business by themselves and they will know that everything is hard-won.
The vacant store in the city lord's mansion was naturally very generous and gave it enough benefits without paying any taxes or rents. All the money earned by the shop belongs to Ma Yunqi's Xiliang Ma Thief.
What else can the horse thieves in Xiliang sell? They are very nervous about iron weapons, weapons, equipment and food, so they will naturally not sell them, so only horses can be sold.
When Xiliang horse thieves fight with alien horse thieves, they often have small battles and small victories without big battles, and they mainly focus on robbing horses. However, over time, Xiliang horse thieves will find that there are too many horses and there is not enough grass.
It was not that Ma Yunqi had thought of giving the horse to Xiliang City, but most of his subordinates disagreed and even showed that he wanted to barter.
Often, the price of expelling a inferior horse, Xiliang horse thieves is much higher than that in other places, and it even shows the expression of "let you make money". If several generals and the adults had not received the orders from the city lord, they would have had a long time ago.
Perhaps, this price was not offered by Jack Ma, but his subordinates made their own decisions.
At that time, Li Gu, who was the head of the Xiliang City City Lord's Office and the finance official, knew that he could not continue. He sent a message to Ma Yunqi that the army in Xiliang City was limited and the cavalry could not be cultivated, so the horses were not needed for the time being, and they would be reciprocating after recruiting new recruits in the future.
There is naturally no problem with Jack Ma. After all, Jack Ma knew that he had taken advantage of it. Except for the thousands of good horses he gave to Xiliang City at first, the ones that were traded to the other party were all inferior war horses. How could the horses of alien horse thieves be inferior? Of course it is impossible. Whether it is alien horse thieves or Xiliang horse thieves, they are all top-notch good horses.
But you have to know that no matter how good the war horse is, it will go to the battlefield, and you will inevitably be injured when you go to the battlefield.
These inferior horses are eliminated on the battlefield and kept injured horses.
It's a pity to kill me and eat it; taking the horsepower on the battlefield is insufficient, which can easily lead to your own life; keeping it while you keep it, it will only make you poorer and waste fodder; in the end, I don't know who made such a loss of horses: Xiliang City is seriously short of horses, we can do this and this...
It's like treating Xiliang City as a kid.
At first, Li Gu bought a thousand horse thieves from Xiliang, which gave them enough face, but after that, he couldn't stop them. Xiliang horse thieves actually sold these inferior horses to himself.
Li Gu once had insufficient military equipment and was unable to buy these horses from Xiliang horse thieves. Unexpectedly, Xiliang horse thieves wanted Li Gu to write an IOU...
After all, horse thieves are horse thieves, and their gangster nature is hard to change.
Now, Li Gu asked them to trade horses in the city, and whether they could sell them or not was their problem.
When Li Gu delivered the shop contract and inn land contract to Ma Yunqi, he set rules in person that as long as the horse thieves in Xiliang dared to be in the downtown area of Xiliang City or forced to sell, Xiliang City would not estimate the face of each other and confiscate all property directly, and in serious cases, they would even be killed on the spot.
Although Ma Yunqi looked at the treaty a little unhappy, he had more and more horses in his hands and had to find a way to sell them. Xiliang City could no longer eat it, so it was not feasible to force it. He could only open a shop in Xiliang City. A while ago, when Ma Yunqi saw the prosperity of Xiliang City, he had this idea, but he did not expect that since Li Gu personally delivered it to his door.
Isn’t it just that you don’t force yourself to sell and don’t cause trouble? Isn’t this simple?
There are elderly people, women and children in the inn to take care of them. If you are choosing a literacy and counting money, there will be no major problems.
It is not a problem to send a few honest confidants to the shop.
So, Ma Yunqi agreed readily.
At the same time, Li Gu was relieved and would not ask himself to buy horses. As for weapons and food, you have the ability to rely on yourself. Xiliang City can also gradually reduce the amount for you. Then it depends on Jack Ma to start yourself.
