Chapter 182 Zhang Liang’s visit

Li Chen didn't know the attitudes of all parties outside and didn't want to pay attention to them.

After Shouchun returned, Li Chen replaced Li Xin and took charge of supervising the shops and government offices in the city.

It has been almost 20 days since Xiaoyao City was closed down, and those with evil intentions from various forces have begun to have bad thoughts.

News from outside cannot come in, and news from inside cannot be delivered. Even if the Chu State sends troops, the civilians inside have no idea at all.

Those spies didn't dare to wait any longer and could only choose the time to take action.

In just two or three days, more than a dozen accidents occurred. However, Xiaoyao Sect disciples were patrolling every area, so they did not cause much harm.

And this is Li Chen's purpose of sealing the city this time, to get rid of all those unstable people.

Obviously, Li Chen achieved his goal.

In the next ten days or so, Xiaoyaomen arrested a total of hundreds of people. Some of these people were snare killers, some were spies from various parties in Chu State, and some farm disciples.

Only a small number of them have no background and just want to seek some benefits.

Li Chen was not polite to those spies and directly let the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect be killed. As for those who were seeking profit, Li Chen spared them and only waited to drive them out of Xiaoyao City after the city blockade was over.

As for the civilians in the city, this lockdown has not had any impact on them.

Liu Tong was responsible for the construction of the city, and there was always a shortage of manpower. Those people who had nothing to do could work on the construction sites. Not only would they have something to eat every day, but they would also get paid.

The only ones that were really affected were the restaurants and shops. Without outside merchants, their business dropped a lot.

However, the city lord's palace gave them some compensation, some discounts on goods, or tax exemptions.

All in all, both the residents and Li Chen gained a lot from this lockdown, but various forces with evil intentions lost a lot of manpower.

A month passed quickly, and Li Chen quickly opened the blockade of Xiaoyao City.

As the news spread, businessmen who heard about Li Chen's deeds in the Chu Palace rushed in one after another, and Xiaoyao City returned to its previous glory.

Not long after opening the door, Li Chen welcomed an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, the grandson of the former Korean Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi, are now the third heads of the Confucian Confucian sage Zhuang San.

When the two met, they were both in a daze. The last time they met was when Li Chen left Xinzheng. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, and South Korea had completely turned into dust.

Li Chen was silent for a while and then said: "Brother Zifang, I haven't seen you for many years!"

Zhang Liang also said with some emotion: "Yes, Brother Li, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Brother Li has become the lord of a city."

Li Chen smiled and shook his head: "Zifang is joking, I am just doing this for survival, unlike you, who unknowingly became the third boss of the Confucian family."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and then laughed loudly.

After a while, the laughter stopped, and Li Chen asked with a smile: "How has Liusha developed in recent years?"

Zhang Liang sighed: "When Qin sent troops to attack South Korea, I went back to South Korea once. Miss Zi Nu and Brother Wei Zhuang were both doing well at that time, but after the fall of South Korea, there was no news about them again."

Li Chen nodded slightly: "Since Brother Han left, Liusha has lost its soul. I also invited them to Xiaoyao City, but they were rejected."

When mentioning Han Fei, Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, then looked up at Li Chen and asked seriously: "I heard from Brother Wei Zhuang that the Ninth Young Master died at the hands of the Yin Yang family?"

Li Chen replied: "Yes, he died under the Yin Yang Family's 'Six Souls Terror Curse'."

Zhang Liang nodded: "Over the years, has Brother Li figured out what Canglong Qisu is?"

Li Chen thought for a while, looked at Zhang Liang and said: "There are some gains, but I don't know if they are accurate. Confucianism has been passed down for hundreds of years, has Zifang seen any relevant records?"

Zhang Liang shook his head: "Over the years, I have read a lot of books and asked Master Xun, but I don't have an accurate answer."

Li Chen sighed, then looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Why did Zifang come here this time?"

Zhang Liang slightly arched his hands: "This time I am here to discuss the purchase of paper in Xiaoyao City with Brother Li on the order of Old Master Xun. I hope Brother Li can make it convenient."

Li Chen nodded and said: "Since Confucius was the sage, Confucianism has also produced numerous talents. Today, Confucianism is the family with the largest collection of books.

When I created the paper, I wanted to make a deal with Confucianism, but there was no way. Now that Master Xun has spoken, I can't get it."

Next, after some discussions, the two settled on the paper business.

Afterwards, Zhang Liang bid farewell to Li Chen and planned to visit Xiaoyao City, but Li Chen left him alone.

Zhang Liang now only hates Qin in his mind. Although he has talent, he will not be used by Li Chen. Otherwise, Li Chen would like to keep him and manage Xiaoyao City.

While Li Chen was thinking about it, Liu Tong and Zhang Qi walked in and saluted Li Chen: "Sir!"

Li Chen came back to his senses, looked at the two of them and asked, "How is it? Is there any result?"

Zhang Qi nodded and said: "According to reports from various city gates, after the city gates were opened, tens of thousands of people entered the city in just three days. In addition to most of them being businessmen, there were also some people who entered the city.

It just lost its trace.”

Li Chen nodded and looked at Liu Tongtong: "Notify all government offices that anyone who wants to settle in Xiaoyao City or open a shop in the city must go to the government offices to register."

Hearing this, Liu Tong understood Li Chen's thoughts and said, "Although some spies can be known in this way, many people will not choose these, and we will not be able to find them!"

Li Chen shook his head and said: "As long as we open the city gate, we can't guard against those spies. As long as they don't cause trouble in Xiaoyao City, let them go."

The two nodded, and Zhang Qi continued: "By the way, sir, there is news from Ximen that this morning, a woman entered the city alone.

The deacon guarding the door saw that she had a good temperament and dared to go out alone, so he wanted to follow her, but unexpectedly she disappeared as soon as she entered the city."

When Li Chen heard this, he was startled: Ximen, a woman, disappeared in an instant in front of a deacon who was at least fifth grade. Such strength was probably at the peak of fourth grade.

In the entire "Qin Shi Mingyue", I am afraid that the only women like this are members of the Yin and Yang family.

Li Chen looked at Zhang Qi and said: "If you encounter such a person in the future, don't follow him. I'm afraid this kind of person is coming for us, and the disciples below can't stop him."

Seeing that Zhang Qi had figured it out, Li Chen looked at Liu Tong and asked, "How has the construction of Xiaoyao City been going this month?"

Liu Tong said: "It's not bad. There are more than 200,000 people in total. Many places have basically been completed."
