The City Lord's Mansion covers a small area, only a large size for an ordinary manor. Its gate is not a one-meter-high gate inlaid with copper skin, but an ordinary and sturdy wooden door with a few pieces of iron on the edge! It seems that the City Lord's Mansion seems to be inconspicuous, but it is a symbol of the highest power of Mengyin City.

The city lord's wealth is not as good as the wealthy families in Mengyin City, after all, they have accumulated hundreds of years. However... in this entire Mengyin City, no wealthy family dares to rely on their local tyrant status to have any disrespect to the city lord!

The lord of the city is enthroned by the emperor himself, in charge of the military and financial power of a city. Although the city lord cannot directly deal with these local snakes, he has the power of the superiors and can directly invite the superiors to exempt the lords of these local snakes from the identity of the lords. Moreover, the city lord has the power to take action first and then report! If the lords below violate national laws and endanger the country, the city lord can take action first and report!

Zhang He arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, reported his name, and led the way to the hall. As Zhang He speculated, the City Lord was looking for him for the purpose of fiefdom.

In the hall, the city lord and Zhang He stood in front of the huge map of Mengyin City. A middle-aged scholar-official was holding a black stick and gestured on it to give a detailed explanation for Zhang He.

"In this area in the southwest, it borders the county next to it, and the terrain is relatively flat, but it is a bit far away from here. If you want this fiefdom, there may be many inconveniences."

Zhang He listened, his expression remained unchanged, making people unable to see what he was thinking.

The thin stick in the calligraphy office drew it in the northwest of Mengyin City, and he continued to introduce it to Zhang He.

"This area is fertile in the northwest direction of the city, but it is surrounded by fiefs of other families. Moreover, in this area, close to Malian Mountain, the total area may be less than 30 hectares. If you choose this place, you can only make compensation from other places, or directly divide the mountain into your fief. Then you open the land directly on the mountain."

After the introduction of the book office, he looked at Zhang He's reaction.

The city lord saw Zhang He's calm expression and felt a strange feeling in his heart. From beginning to end, the other party showed no emotions when he heard these two fiefdoms, which made him unable to understand. This made him feel that Zhang He in front of him was not a young man who had just grown up at all, but more like an old fox who was well versed in the world.

"Well..., we refer to the map and can only find these two large-scale places for the time being. If you are not satisfied with both, we can only cut your fiefdom, but that would probably be unfavorable to your management. Zhang He, if you have any opinions, you can raise them."

The city lord couldn't help but say. He knew that Zhang He was a celebrity in the eyes of King Qu Xian, so when he saw the two fiefs found by the Book Office before, he was also depressed. He also wanted to take out a good piece of land and make Zhang He a fief, so that he would be very favoured.

However, the good places have long been occupied by other families. He can do nothing.

"Does the city lord have any good suggestions?" Zhang He did not comment, but asked the city lord. He also realized that these two places were not good places.

"In fact, the development of a fiefdom is not the best way to go by the fields alone. If you want to develop a family, you should have other industries. It is not possible to rely on agriculture alone." The city lord pondered for a moment, his eyes shone brightly and said with a smile, "I know that these two fiefdoms are not satisfactory. However, good areas have long been seized by other families, and it is not easy to find these two complete fiefdoms. However, as I said before, it is impossible to develop a family, agriculture alone. You should also look for other ways to make money so that your family can develop rapidly."

The city lord looked at Zhang He's reaction, but there was no abnormality on Zhang He's face. This made the city lord feel a little depressed. At least you have a little reaction, otherwise I would be unsure.

Seeing that Zhang He didn't say anything, the city lord had to continue, "I know that it would be unfair to you to choose these two fiefs. So, if you choose other industries in the city, I can open the door to convenience for you. What about this? This is also a compensation for you."

The fiefdom was flawed, so the city lord had to make some compensation to Zhang He from other places.

Zhang He's eyes suddenly lit up. In fact, he also knew that it would be impossible for a family to develop by agriculture alone. He must start from other industries, but the development of other industries is limited. The city lord promised to give preferential treatment, so Zhang He would be much easier to engage in other industries.

"Thank you, the city lord, for your kindness. However, I can't determine which fiefdom to choose yet. After all, the choice of fiefdom is related to the future development of our family, so it's better to go on a field trip. What do you think?" Zhang He smiled slightly.

"Okay." Seeing Zhang He's attitude, the city lord breathed a little relieved. At least, he did not refuse to accept the fiefdom. Because according to the rules, the newly promoted poor family should get thirty hectares of fertile land, and the fiefdoms he gave Zhang He were not considered fertile land, and they could only be considered low-end! If we pursue it, the city lord would not be reasonable.

The city lord waved his hand and asked someone to arrange the relevant matters immediately.

While waiting, the city lord suddenly pretended to be careless and asked: "By the way, I heard that you are going to attend the thesis conference and challenge the Zhao family?"

Zhang He was stunned and immediately felt relieved. This was not a big secret. Moreover, the host of the thesis conference was the city lord, so he could naturally know the news.

"That's right." Zhang He nodded.

"What big contradictions are there? You need such extremes? Challenging beyond the level is not a joke." The city lord couldn't help but persuade, "Otherwise, I'll tell you to join forces and turn swords into jade? The Zhao family is in Mengyin City, and it is very powerful, and there is a support from the Li family behind it. Even I have to give them some face. You are not very rational in doing this."

Zhang He understood the city lord's meaning. In the eyes of the outside world, he was undoubtedly a swaying shaking a big tree and overestimating his abilities. However, Zhang He also knew that the city lord said this entirely out of kindness.

Zhang He said quietly: "I have made the city lord worry. The Zhao family bullies me repeatedly. If I tolerate it, they will only gain a lot of urgency. The conflict between me and the Zhao family is already in the same situation. Therefore, I don't plan to shake hands and make peace!"

The city lord couldn't help frowning: "Don't be foolish, you do this to cause trouble for yourself. Alas, how can you... be the opponent of such a giant of the Zhao family? Although you have great potential, you are still too weak now. As far as I know, Zhao Gu of the Zhao family is only 27 years old, and his cultivation is already the fourth level of the Zhenwu realm! You... Alas!"

The city lord practiced and shook his head, with regret in his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see a good seedling, and was destroyed.

Zhang He felt a little moved, Zhao Gu, Zhao Feng's elder brother? He heard about this person's name in the Wutongyuan. When he was in the Wutongyuan, he was also the first place in the Wutongyuan. After that, he disappeared. He was also a legend in the Wutongyuan. His current cultivation level is actually the fourth level of the Zhenwu Realm... He is indeed a genius.

But... Zhang He smiled slightly, his cultivation level was also at the fourth level of the True Martial Realm!

"Master Lord, look, am I qualified to challenge the Zhao family?" Zhang He raised his hand, blinked his fingers, and inch of true energy suddenly shot out of the air in the lord's horrified gaze.

Bo!

With a crisp sound, a white porcelain tea cup on the Eight Immortals table three meters away was shattered in the air!

"The fourth level of Zhenwu Realm!" The city lord widened his eyes, and at this moment he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and then looked at Zhang He's eyes full of shock!

"Master Lord, I am qualified." Zhang He put his hands away and smiled faintly.

"Yes!" The city lord nodded immediately, his face full of excitement, "A while ago, it turns out that you are hiding your strength! Haha, even ordinary people at the fourth level of Zhenwu can't do it. A distance of three feet! Ordinary people are only 1 feet away at most, and they are exhausted, but I see you, but I feel calm! Yes, I have confidence in you now!"

At this time, the outside has been arranged.

"Master Lord, I'll leave for the time being." Zhang He said goodbye to the city lord. He is going to check out his fiefdom first.

"Okay, go and have a look. If you have any requirements, you can boldly raise them. As long as I can, I will definitely help you." The city lord nodded and said enthusiastically.

Zhang He thanked him again, and then left the city lord's mansion with the people from the city lord's mansion and rushed out of the city.

...

The green mountains are vast and covered with mist. From a distance, it looks like a huge green dragon rolling in the mist.

Zhang He looked at the vast land in front of him, and the air breathing between his mouth and nose was filled with the unique fresh smell of the mountains and forests.

"This area is only thirty miles away from Mengyin City. This area is fertile, but the total area is less than thirty hectares. If you choose this place, you either divide the surrounding mountains into the territory, or you need to take some small pieces of land from other places to make up for the shortage of the fief."

The person in charge of the inspection introduced Zhang He.

Zhang He nodded. The land in front of him was less than twenty hectares, and the area of ​​thirty hectares was nearly 30% less than his own thirty hectares. Anyone would definitely not be happy to see that his fiefdom was short of so much. However, it would be very troublesome for Zhang He to find some land from other places and make up for the thirty hectares.

The fiefdom should be a whole, so that it is easy to manage. If a fiefdom is divided into two pieces, or even more, it will be very difficult to manage and it is extremely easy to have problems. However, if the mountain is divided into the area of ​​the fiefdom, it is also a thankless thing. These mountains are full of shrubs and trees, and their roots are well developed. It is not only difficult but also dangerous to mine farmland on it, because there are many wild animals here. I believe that if there are other choices, no one will do this.

Zhang He looked at the land in front of him and was a little hesitant. It was also beneficial to choose here. Although the fiefdom area is insufficient, it is close to Mengyin City, which makes many things convenient to do. If you go to another piece, far away from the city, and are in the border area, it is most likely to have disputes and conflicts.

"Actually, this place is not bad. Although the farmland is insufficient, the soil here is fertile and the yield per mu of crops must be higher than that of the other place. And you see, there is a big river in front of it, which is convenient to water, so you don't have to worry about drought, and you can also fish in it. In autumn, you can still go up the mountain to hunt and get some wild game. In fact, it is quite good." The person from the city lord's mansion said, adding, "At that time, the entire mountain can be divided into your fiefdom. Without your permission, others cannot go up the mountain to hunt. In that case, the wild beasts in the mountain will become your own. Organize dozens of hunters, and when you go into the mountain in autumn and winter, you may get a lot of good wolf skins! That is much more valuable than food!"

Zhang He rolled his eyes. This guy said so easily that he wanted to persuade him to be his fiefdom. However, hunting in the mountains has never been easy. Zhang He has seen the powerful beasts in the mountains. Ordinary hunters usually set traps and waited for the rabbit to take action, so they didn't dare to force themselves.

Moreover, when reclaiming farmland here, we should consider more. It is not the issue of hunting up the mountain, but the issue of guarding against wild animals on the mountain and going down the mountain to harm crops!

"Let's go to another place to take a look." Zhang He was unmoved. The person responsible for leading the way suddenly looked frowning. Well, today I'm going to run away! He went back to drive with a frown.

Zhang He turned around and was about to leave, and a few light purple flashed suddenly in the afterglow. He turned his head and saw that there were a few purple colors floating in a ditch about ten steps away.
