"Lord! On behalf of all the elders and relatives in Qingshui Town, I would like to extend my heartfelt welcome to your arrival. We believe that under your leadership, Qingshui Town will become more and more prosperous."
"Yes! Yes! The lord is young and promising. We have long been looking forward to the lord's arrival as soon as possible. Now that the lord is finally here, I believe that under your leadership, the prosperity of the territory will be just around the corner!"
In Shunfeng Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Qingshui Town, a luxurious single room was filled with all the well-known wealthy businessmen in Qingshui Town. Only the two big bosses Viper and Warcraft were not seen. After all, their status as wanted criminals was inappropriate.
To attend such a place, it can be said that Tianxing is also a noble of the empire.
"Dear fellow villagers, I have just arrived here, and I will count on your assistance in the future. Only with your strong support can the territory become more prosperous. I guarantee that the territory will be managed as before and in the future. I am very committed to the management.
I don’t have any experience in this area, so Mayor Huli’s will will be my will from now on.”
When Hu Li told the local wealthy businessmen to pick him up at night, he knew that these guys were testing him, so the first thing Tianxing did was to reassure everyone, vaguely telling them that he would not interfere in the affairs of the territory, and at the same time, he carried Hu Li away.
Come out. Now Tianxing comes to his territory rashly without any foundation. Since he has no strength now, it is better to follow the trend.
"Lord, don't worry, the affairs of the territory are our own business. Only when the territory becomes stronger can we have face, right? The lord's affairs are our business, and we will definitely try our best to assist the lord in managing the territory."
After hearing Tianxing's vague statement that he would not interfere with things in the territory, everyone's mood improved. Although no one would be naive and completely believe Tianxing's words, as long as Tianxing does not block their financial path, everything will be easy.
He beat his chest loudly.
"Hey! I'm very worried after reading the information about the territory today! There are only a few hundred gold coins in the warehouse. If I can't pay the taxes in the coming year, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble as a lord, even though I don't even have a place to live now.
No, but we must first collect the taxes. I wonder if you have any good ideas to help me?"
Seeing that his words had the desired effect, Tianxing immediately pretended to be distressed and looked at everyone and said sadly.
"Lord! I dare not say that this town is very wealthy, but the tax revenue is still no problem, right, Mayor Hu?"
Hearing Tianxing's complaint, the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance immediately understood what Tianxing meant. You said you are being ridiculous! Aren't you forcing the lord to deal with us? You have taken what you should normally take, and now you have taken the warehouse
They have also been evacuated. Doesn’t this force the lord to find a reason to deal with us? Therefore, the president of the Chamber of Commerce looked at Hu Li and said dissatisfiedly.
"That's it! That's it! Lord, please rest assured that there is absolutely no problem with the taxation. It's not yet time to collect taxes, so the funds in the treasury are so low. I will go to collect taxes tomorrow, and the funds will be raised soon."
Hu Li now has the heart to dig into Tianxing's ancestral grave. Is this still a noble? Aristocrats don't have the dignity to cry out in front of others? He didn't expect that Tianxing would cry out in front of many war horses. Originally, it meant
I want to prepare an escape route for myself. If Tianxing comes here and revokes his position, he will take all the trapped villages away from here.
"Lord! These are our little thoughts. Please accept them. In addition, we have specially prepared a mansion for you in the east of the town. Although it is just an ordinary mansion, it is better than the place where the Lord lives now.
It's much better, how can the lord live in a place like Fuya?"
The president of the Chamber of Commerce took out an unlocked magic card and a land deed and handed it to Tianxing. Seeing Tianxing taking these things naturally, all the businessmen showed a satisfied smile. They are not afraid that you are greedy, but they are afraid that you are not greedy.
After receiving the gift, things became easier, and then the whole banquet was held in a pleasant atmosphere, and the drinking lasted until late at night.
Everyone was very happy today. Tianxing gave them a lot of face. Wasn't Qianli working as an official just for money? Tianxing's approach quickly made these people temporarily relieved. I guess the only one who was unhappy was Mayor Hu Li.
He never expected that Tianxing Station would soon give in. This was something that rarely happened in the history of the kingdom. The dignity of the nobility was not seen in Tianxing at all.
After the meeting, Tianxing took Lan'er to his new home under the guidance of the president of the Chamber of Commerce. This property was a relatively good one in Qingshui Town. It seemed that in order to win over Tianxing and other wealthy businessmen, they spent a lot of money.
After all, no one wants a conflict. No matter what Tianxing's abilities are, he represents the kingdom after all, and he is still the highest ruler here.
It seems that the new home has been prepared for a long time. The handymen and servants are all ready, and even the furniture is new. When Tianxing came here, there was already an old butler waiting, and all the handymen stood behind the old butler.
They looked at the lord Tianxing with fear. They were still full of curiosity and fear about Tianxing. After all, Tianxing was the highest ruler here.
Under the leadership of the old butler, Tianxing quickly came to the bedroom. After the old butler left, two good-looking maids in their teens came over and wanted to help Tianxing take a bath. Tianxing dismissed them casually. He was not fully aware of these.
He has no interest in mature women at all. Especially these women who are treated as objects.
Tianxing drove away all the servants and left Lan'er to stay outside. He took a happy bath. He was very satisfied today. When he entered Qingshui Town, Tianxing really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, these people had given him a long time.
The steps were prepared, and everyone was happy at today's banquet. It was obvious that as long as he could not target these people, he could still be a corrupt noble for the time being.
No one knows how long the whole situation can be maintained. They are perfunctory and wooing Tianxing, let alone Tianxing is not perfunctory them? No one knows who will have the last laugh, after all, Tianxing does not have any strength now. But at least in the short term
Both sides will still maintain this situation. After all, Tianxing is also the designated lord of the kingdom. The most urgent thing now is to establish his own team. Without strong strength, everything is fake.
There was no words for the night. Early the next morning, Tianxing, accompanied by Hu Li, inspected the troops in the territory. Looking at the group of old and weak soldiers in front of him, Tianxing found that things were not as bad as he thought. Such soldiers had countless reasons for Tianxing to replace them.
, let them be now.
In the following days, Tianxing used various reasons to fire all the servants in his new home. The main reason was that he was too poor. He was so poor that he couldn't even support the expenses of the servants. His actions made the big guys in Qingshui think that
He is blackmailing in disguise, so these people will never show up in front of Tianxing if they are fine.
Then Tianxing took Lan'er and left Qingshui Town. He was going to take a closer look at his territory. The territory was only ten miles long and it took half a day to complete the tour. Only then did Tianxing realize that his territory was indeed poor and these villages were not ordinary.
Poverty means many children don’t even have clothes to wear and run around naked.
Because this is a hilly area, it is not suitable for sowing. Every household eats wild vegetables and fruits from the fields and the occasional wild beasts caught nearby. All income comes from working in the process, or exchanging dead wild beasts for a little microwave.
The most apt metaphor to describe this place is the lack of food. Looking at those fearful people, Tianxing feels sad. We can imagine how miserable their lives will be in winter.
When Tianxing returned to Qingshui Town, there were a hundred people with sallow faces and thin muscles behind him. Their average age was only seventeen years old. These people were purchased by Tianxing with money. Although they were all malnourished, they had good bones.
The difficult environment gave them a persevering character and a hard-working spirit.
When the parents of these young people heard that Tianxing wanted to buy them as servants, they all agreed. It was just the time for these young people to eat. If they left, they would leave a lot of food for the family, and after they left, they would
You can increase your family's income. How can you not agree that it's too late to be happy about such a good thing?
After all, the labor force required for water purification is limited. Most of the labor force is at home now. When they learned that Tianxing was going to buy servants, all the young adults came. It could have taken half a day to visit the territory, but it took a whole day to choose the servant Tianxing.
God, most of the time was spent on selecting servants. Not only did he buy a hundred young men, Tianxing also bought 10 good-looking girls.
When Tianxing brought these people back to Qingshui Town, no one knew what Tianxing was doing. Buying them as servants was a bit much, and it was impossible to form an army. After all, soldiers cannot be trained in a short period of time.
Although it has combat power, many thoughtful people have also guessed a little bit of Tianxing’s intentions.
Tianxing also said to the outside world that it was too unsafe to be alone, so he bought some young adults in the territory to increase his safety protection. After Tianxing directly explained this, it just reassured the major forces who were always paying attention to his movements. They
They think it is reasonable for Tianxing to do this. If Tianxing had been relying on them, would they still suspect Tianxing of any tricks?
Now that Tianxing had made it clear like this, they were relieved. Everyone knew the combat effectiveness of civilian soldiers and their underground status. They had always been used as cannon fodder. They relied on numbers to win. These malnourished civilians bought by Tianxing were not affected at all.
They took it seriously. Therefore, it only dispelled everyone's suspicion.
