Chapter 253 Reactions from all parties

Three days later, Sanguan City gradually came into contact with the mountain city, and the Xu family was naturally unwilling. After all, such a city appeared out of thin air, and tens of thousands of people gathered here. Who wouldn't murmur in their hearts?

However, even if the Xu family is unwilling, they do not dare to refuse easily. After all, the two messengers sent by You Hui from Sanguan City are both from the early stage of Yuheng. In terms of strength, they already have the capital to compete with the Xu family. The Xu family

I don't want to make such an unknown enemy at this time.

Naturally, there is no way to refuse. Therefore, the Xu family put forward many conditions as a prerequisite for open trade between the two. Although some of these conditions are difficult to achieve for mountain cities, they are easy for Sanguan City, so most of them are

He agreed, and the trade between the two cities officially began.

"Master, the letter just sent from Lanhuaxuan shows that after Sanguan City and Shancheng opened trade, 10,000 people poured into Sanguan City on the first day, and all of them have been filled in the construction of Sanguan City, and Sanguan City

The first batch of grain and utensils in Guancheng have been used as sources of supply to newly opened shops in the city to facilitate trade." Su Yi took the letter and said, "Although there are already merchants gathering in Sanguan City, they are still on the sidelines.

The situation, not many people are involved.”

"Send a letter to You Hui and Bai Chen, asking them to control the sales of ironware, and not to do it in the name of the city lord's palace, so as not to attract public criticism." Zhou Yutian said, "In addition, for those workshops opened by individuals in the city, the prices are guaranteed to be as low as possible.

Supply of materials so that they can open as soon as possible and capture the market."

"Okay, people from Lanhuaxuan should come to pick up the letter at noon, but, young master, why do we come all the way here?" Su Yi asked.

"I told you before about the Luo Hui siblings, Hu Yu and others, but in the past two days I asked Lanhuaxuan to spread out manpower to search, but found nothing. The Qin family recently withdrew from the mountain city and came to Xuancheng. I

I'm worried that Hu Yu and the others may have fallen into the hands of the Qin family." Zhou Yutian said, "We need them for our development in Fang country this time, so we come here to look for them and take a look at the humanities and sophistication of Fang country."

After contacting Shancheng in Sanguancheng, Zhou Yutian, Zhang Yong, and Su Yi came to Xuancheng, the neighboring city of Shancheng.

Although Xuancheng, like Shancheng, is located in the south of Fang Kingdom, it is not as poor as Shancheng. Compared with the hardships of Shancheng, Xuancheng is full of lazy atmosphere.

Not to mention Xuancheng, even in the villages around Xuancheng, it is rare to see skinny people. Although most people are not fat, they are at least relatively normal. At the same time, compared to the clothes in mountain cities

Ragged, although the people here in Xuancheng are not gorgeously dressed, they are all wearing relatively decent clothes.

At this time, on the third floor of one of the more ornate restaurants in Xuancheng, Zhou Yutian and three others were leaning on the railing, looking out at the scenery of Xuancheng.

"Why is Xuancheng so different from the mountain city?" Zhang Yong said. This time the three of them went from Sanguancheng to Xuancheng. They passed through the mountain city on the way and then arrived at Xuancheng. Therefore, Su Yi and Zhang Yong faced each other.

Shancheng also had some understanding, so he had such a reaction.

"It seems that the royal family of Fang Kingdom is very sensitive to this mountain city." Zhou Yutian said, "The distance from the mountain city to Xuancheng is not far. Although the road is not easy to walk, it is passable. However, the caravans on the road are basically

There is no reason. If you say there is no reason, I am afraid no one will believe it."

"I'm afraid that not only the Fang royal family, but also other families certainly don't want a family that can match their strength but is not restricted to exist here." Su Yi said.

"No wonder the mountain city immediately formed a caravan to trade with us after trading with us," Zhang Yong said.

"If this is the case, then it may be difficult for Sanguan City to develop in the future. Since the forces in the Fang Kingdom are unwilling to develop the mountain city, if they add another town, they may not be far away from turning against each other." Su Yi said.

"This is not a problem." Zhou Yutian waved his hand and said, "We have enough strength and technology. Just taking out something is enough to shock the forces of Fang State. There is no need to worry about no one to communicate with us. Moreover, if these forces

If you don't communicate with us, we will just open up a new city ourselves."

"If you open a new city, how about arranging a city lord for me?" Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"If you become the city lord, I'm afraid you will no longer be the city lord in the future." Zhou Yutian said, "Think about it yourself."

"In the past, I would have wanted to work harder, but now that I have a family, those thoughts are gone. I just want to live a stable life." Zhang Yong said in an old-fashioned way.

"Come on, the Kaiyang level has a lifespan of nearly 150 years. Are you just going to eat and wait to die?" Su Yi said.

"In the house in front, there are two people who have been staring at us since we entered the city." Zhou Yutian interrupted the two people.

"That house?" Su Yi looked at it and said, "It's beyond the range of my perception."

"Want to take a look?" Zhang Yong said, "Since we are targeted, I'm afraid they won't stop so easily."

"It's not necessary. These two people are only at the Yaoguang level and do not pose a threat to us. The forces behind them are worthy of our attention." Zhou Yutian said, "Don't worry about them now. They will come to our door by themselves when the time comes.

"

"Then what should we do now?" Su Yi asked.

"Aren't we here to find someone?" Zhang Yong said.

"We don't need to worry about finding people. This time we came to the city with such a high profile, and we have helped Lanhuaxuan cover quite a few people sneaking into the city. They can do the searching for people. It is more efficient. If they are discovered

The probability is also lower." Zhou Yutian said, "The mountain city has nothing because it is hostile to the royal family, but Xuancheng has everything it should have, so we have to enter the academy here to obtain more information.

.”

"Your Majesty, I found that you really prefer the academy as a place?" Su Yi said, "I have always wanted to join the academy when I was in Qianshan Town and Imperial City. Is there any reason?"

"If you wanted to get close to the ruling class forces in Fang Country, what method would you choose?" Zhou Yutian asked.

"In business, when you accumulate a certain amount of wealth and prestige, the ruling class will naturally contact you." Su Yi said, the Su family relies on transportation as a source of income, and this income is also the mainstay of the Su family, so the children of the Su family will basically run the business.

way.

"I think you should practice hard. After you practice to a very powerful level, someone will definitely come into contact with you." Zhang Yong said.

"Both are right, but it is very slow for the two to gain each other's trust." Zhou Yutian said, "Although business people can have contact, it can only be superficial contact. If you want to contact deeper things, you must have

Sufficient strength, otherwise the other party will not be able to trust

The secret is shared with you because you don’t have the strength to keep the secret. Once you have enough strength, you are no longer a person who can share it, but have become a threat and even a serious problem. At this time, you want to continue to contact

, that’s when the intrigue begins.”

"If you put it that way, it is very dangerous to improve your strength. Once you have the strength to participate, wouldn't it also become a threat?" Su Yi said, "If you don't have any background, I'm afraid it will be a waste.

It’s just a tool that’s thrown away.”

"Doing business requires accumulation, but we don't have time now. Even if we have the ability to get rich overnight, we will only become the object of suspicion, not the object of being attracted. Doing business requires long-term accumulation of reputation and credit, otherwise it will be difficult to

Contact with people." Zhou Yutian said, "But improving your strength is different. You don't have to raise your strength to a threatening level to be appreciated."

"You mean in the academy?" Su Yi suddenly realized.

"Yeah, why didn't I expect that in the academy, as long as you surpass the people you study with, you will be appreciated, and your strength will not pose a threat, so you don't need to worry about being suspected." Zhang Yong said, "And even if you practice faster

Soon, it can only be said that he is a genius, and it will not be related to other things."

"Academies are basically established by very influential forces. The purpose is to control the new generation, win over their thoughts, enhance the loyalty of the younger generation to the academy's forces, and select talents." Zhou Yutian said, "Academies like Xuancheng's are

In order to control the power of the new generation and supplement the existing power, these colleges will definitely have the shadow of major forces in them. Controlling the college is equivalent to controlling the new forces in the future. This is something that no one will give up.

So it’s most convenient to start here.”

"Then what should we do with our identities? We will be found out immediately after checking." Su Yi asked.

"You're stupid, we can pretend to be our children from the mountain city, because there is nothing to pursue in the mountain city, so we moved here to develop." Zhang Yong said.

"Well, there is no academy in the mountain city, so it is reasonable for the children from the mountain city to come to Xuancheng to study." Zhou Yutian said, "From now on, we will change our names. We should not use our original names, and we will also have to make some changes in our appearance.

.”

"Change your name? Then I'll call you 'Wu Shuang'." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"Then I'll call you 'Wu Di'." Su Yi said, "I happen to be in the same family as you."

"Then my name is 'Wu Yong', and I am a member of the same family as you." Zhou Yutian said.

"'Wu Yong'? Master, you chose this name very well, it caused so much trouble for us." Zhang Yong said.

Zhou Yutian waved his hand, "The name has been decided. I will leave here secretly tonight, change my appearance and enter the city again tomorrow morning." Zhou Yutian said.

"Okay." The other two nodded and responded.

"Sanguan City? What on earth is the Xu family doing?" Qin Guang paced back and forth from the room a little annoyed. After returning from the siege of the mountain city without success, he heard the news that a new city was built in the south of the mountain city.

, this is not taking his Qin family seriously at all, you must know that the place where the mountain city belongs is controlled by the Qin family.

"Sanguan City was built in the place we raided before. I'm afraid the Xu family wants to challenge us." Nanluo County Magistrate said.

"What's the specific situation in Sanguan City?" Qin Guang sat down and asked.

"Sanguan City is currently undergoing extensive construction work. The completed city wall has surrounded a mountain. Experts are patrolling the mountain and cannot sneak into it. There is also extensive construction work at the bottom of the mountain and it seems that residential buildings are being built." A spy said, "There is a large area to the south of Sanguan City.

They were surrounded and surrounded by experts who could not sneak in, but this kind of thing was shipped out and started to be traded with foreign countries. Please take a look." As he said this, the man presented a bowl of rice that had just been cooked.

"What do the people who sell this thing say?" Qin Guang asked after carefully wrapping a few pills with his vitality. Several people around him cautiously came over.

"Sir, this thing is for eating. The seller said that it is used to replace the purple grass. It is called rice." The spy said, "There are several inns in Sanguan City that specialize in selling cooked rice.

This kind of thing has been prepared, and there are several other foods, called steamed buns and sweet potatoes." As he said this, the man waved his hand, and two people quickly came up with bowls, one with steamed buns in it, and the other with steamed buns in it.

It contains sweet potatoes.

"I have already tasted these things, and there is nothing wrong with them so far. They taste very good and are very delicious," the spy said.

"Sir, don't do it!" One of the subordinates saw Qin Guang picking up the steamed bun and was about to chew it, and quickly stepped forward to stop him. Several other people were also very anxious to come up.

Qin Guang waved his hand, "No problem." Then he took a bite of the steamed bun and started chewing it.

"It's really a steamed bun." Qin Guang muttered silently, then put the steamed bun back and said seriously, "Set off immediately, take these things with you, and return to the Qin family immediately. Before that, Sanguan City, Shancheng

That’s fine, don’t worry about it for the time being. As long as nothing happens, just pretend you didn’t see it. As for the news, try to block it and don’t leak it to other families.”

"As ordered." Everyone present immediately responded.

"I said, let's come all the way to Xuancheng. I wonder if we can enter the academy? We don't have much money." As soon as he entered the gate of Xuancheng, Su Yi started shouting, but
