"This damn Baoyin Building secretly annexed my shop without telling me! As a result, the compensation mentioned has not been seen yet! The date is coming soon!"
"Me too! There is compensation! I am planning to use this compensation to find another place in the city, but even if I find a new place, the excitement will not be the same as before!"
"Isn't it? This Baoyin Building occupies the busiest area in the city, but I heard that the compensation is not bad! Why don't we go find the Prince Liu of the Marquis Jian family together and see if we can hurry up?
Get this compensation!"
"This - I think you should go and get it yourself! I still want to save my little life! My whole family depends on me for food! If the store is gone, it will be gone! Just treat it as a loss!"
"It's said that there is compensation, and it would be good to get the principal back. Who doesn't know that the powerful Prince Liu Hong is a member of the Jianhou Mansion, and that the Baoyin Tower is also related to that 'His Highness'?
They will compensate you honestly, don’t dream about it!"
"Brother Lu is right. I would rather not give up these compensations. They can give them to them whenever they want! You don't know that a few days ago, shopkeeper Tian who was selling groceries was in urgent need of spiritual stones, so he went to see Prince Liu Hong.
He said that the spirit stone was coming back, but a few days later, he was beaten to death! He is still lying at home!"
"I've also heard about the shopkeeper Tian you mentioned, but it's terrible. I heard that his family has also been threatened!"
"That's it! Thanks for asking you. I thought Emperor Yu of the Yu Kingdom would be so considerate of us monks, but I didn't expect that there are still dark corners in the Yu Kingdom! Then it seems that my spiritual stone will be stored with them for the time being.
Bar!"
"..."
After Jiang Tian learned about the origin of Baoyin Tower, he did not stay there for a long time, but continued to drive forward in his chariot.
However, I heard many monks talking about Baoyin Tower along the way, and most of the people who used to be in Baoyin Tower chose to swallow their anger.
"Waiter! What do you think of this matter?"
Jiang Tian then said to the Maritime Merchant King Huahua, because recently these matters have been handed over to the Maritime Merchant Wang Huahua, and he has the most say at this time.
"These things! No monk has reported them! Moreover, Crown Prince Liu Hong has signed compensation agreements with the shopkeepers of these shops. Most of them pay spiritual stones to the shopkeepers in installments!"
"I also refer to the practices of managers in other markets for this kind of matter. Since they have signed the agreement privately, the greed of these shopkeepers is also indispensable. It seems that we can only wait! Look at these
The shopkeeper’s reaction!”
"If Prince Liu Hong is really unwilling to pay these spiritual stones for compensation, then this matter is of another nature. It is a blatant violation of the "Great Yu Law" formulated by Emperor Yu. It will not be too late for us to take action at that time!"
"But I think this matter is small, but it has a lot of implications in the Yu Kingdom. I think it won't be long before no matter how powerful Prince Liu Hong is and there are His Highness the Second Prince and Marquis Jian behind him, this matter will not be covered up!
Lord! I think we should just wait and see what happens!"
When the merchant king Huahua heard the Lord's question, he expressed what he was thinking about.
"Well! In that case, I remember that there is a large open space on the west side of Wangdiwanfang City, which can be used. If there are qualified monks who want to open a shop there, they can carefully inspect it and give some appropriate exemptions to these shops.
The rent will also help increase the popularity of the market, how about it?"
Jiang Tian thought for a moment and then continued.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! It's so good! I didn't expect the Lord to think of this strategy. If it is used properly, the scale of the entire Wangdi Bay market will also be expanded, and some businesses will not leave. Although there are temporary losses,
There is some rent, but in the long run, it can continue to maintain the popularity of the market."
"Honored Lord! I think it would be better for us to issue a notice to attract merchants from other places to settle in. In this case, it will be more conducive to the development of the city!"
After hearing this, the merchant king Huahua immediately had some ideas in his mind, so he said.
"Hmm! That's fine, you can just do whatever you want! I'm not familiar with these either!"
Jiang Tian then said that with Haishang Wang Huahua, at least managing the market will not be a problem in the future, and Haishang Wang Huahua is also quite keen on this kind of thing.
The chariot drove for a while and finally arrived at a place in the market. After a few people got off the bus, they all walked in.
"Honored Lord! This is the place in charge of tax collection in Wangdiwanfang City! Wait a moment, and the shopkeepers of the largest shops in Fangfang City will come!"
"I have urged these companies several times, and they either refuse to pay, or they keep delaying it! Because the amount involved is relatively large! That's why I am going to ask Brother Mo to come forward!"
After the sea merchant Wang Huahua arrived here, he revealed his purpose.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a guard to report. As Haishang Wang Huahua went out to greet him, Jiang Tian and Jiao Yao Mo Bajiu, who were sitting in the room, heard a voice.
"Haha! Please trouble Mr. Wang this time! I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would actually come to pick him up in person! Huang is really flattered!"
"There! There! Brother Huang's coming here really makes this place shine. Come on, come on! Please come in quickly!"
"Master Wang is too polite! Please——"
This person was not polite, and then he came in with the sea merchant king Huahua. However, when he saw two strange monks here, especially after sensing their aura, he looked very surprised, but then he thought about it.
, looked at a young monk and said in surprise.
"Master Wang, this is not Marquis Wu'an!"
"Haha! It is indeed my Lord Wu Anhou! The other one is Brother Mo Bajiu Mo!"
Maritime merchant Wang Huahua looked at the monk surnamed Huang's question and explained to him. Then he looked at Jiang Tian and Mo Bajiu and introduced them.
"Honored Lord! This is Shopkeeper Huang from Huang Baitang. Shopkeeper Huang was born in the Huang family in Chaohai City. The family mainly deals in spiritual materials, especially wood-based spiritual materials. It can be said that it is the leader in the business of spiritual materials in Wangdiwanfang City.
If you are number two among the talents, then no one would dare to recognize the number one!"
When Jiang Tian heard that this person was actually from the Huang family in Chaohai City, the ancestor of the Huang family in Chaohai City was a late-stage Jindan monk, and when he saw this person coming in, he looked at himself and the 89th generation Jiao Yao Mo,
He looked a little unnatural, and it seemed that this person was also part of the trouble.
"Ha-ha-that's right! Mr. Wang is joking! I have long heard that Marquis Wu An killed the Demon King with his cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is a role model for our generation!"
"There are several juniors in the family who are clamoring all day long to see our Marquis Wu'an! If Marquis Wu'an has time in the future, my juniors will help me guide him, so that they will know as soon as possible that there is a better future!"
I saw the monk surnamed Huang's expression change, and he began to speak in a congenial manner.
"Haha - my cultivation level is no better than that of Taoist Huang Ling. I believe that juniors like you, with the guidance of Taoist Huang Ling, are more suitable than me!"
Jiang Tian immediately said, and Taoist Huang Ling is the title of the ancestor of their family.
"Haha! Brother Huang, please sit down first! Let's wait until the others arrive before we talk!"
Maritime merchant Wang Huahua then quickly arranged a seat for the monk surnamed Huang to sit down.
Just like this, several more monks came in the middle, but they all looked a little unnatural after seeing Jiang Tian and Jiao Yao Mo Bajiu, until the last few monks all arrived.
…
"Haha! I didn't expect the Lord to come forward this time! These shopkeepers are so cheerful. They paid all the taxes that were due without saying a word! It's really beyond my expectation!"
The merchant king Huahua said in a very good mood.
Thinking of it before, after several shopkeepers arrived and explained the situation, all the shopkeepers started to pay the spirit stones on the spot. In a short time, they all paid up the tax owed to the spirit stones.
.
Maritime Merchant King Huahua still remembered that she had urged him many times before, and all the shopkeepers had the same message, saying that the capital turnover was not available, or that the recent profits were not good, and they used it as an excuse.
"It's indeed a lot of spiritual stones! I didn't expect that just these few shops would have delayed nearly three million spiritual stones in taxes!"
Jiang Tian weighed several storage bags in his hands. These storage bags were all made up of taxes paid by the family just now. He didn't expect that there were so many spiritual stones.
“It’s quite a lot indeed!”
"I will leave these spiritual stones to you, Wang Huahua, for safekeeping first! Now is the time to employ people, so you can take these spiritual stones and use them first!"
Jiang Tian finally threw the storage bag containing the spiritual stones collected this time at the Sea Merchant King.
"Lord! There are too many spiritual stones, and there are still many spiritual stones from before. It is best for you, Lord, to save these spiritual stones first!"
When the merchant king Huahua heard what Jiang Tian said, he was very moved and said a little excitedly. He also thought that he still had a lot of spiritual stones given by the Lord here last time, so he said quickly.
"Now the recruitment of people still needs to continue, and the daily order of the city still needs to be maintained. These are all indispensable for spiritual stones. You can take these first! And I also need some spiritual materials and elixirs. You are also in the city these days.
Pay more attention, the required spiritual stones will also be deducted from it!"
Jiang Tian then continued.
Because I also need to prepare the elixirs required for the second release of the infant skill that I have refined over time, as well as the spiritual materials for refining the feather thunder wings, I just used this time to ask the sea merchant Wang Huahua to help me buy some.
"That's it! Then I will accept it for the Lord first!" Maritime Merchant King Huahua had no choice but to collect these spiritual stones and replied.
…
After this incident, Jiang Tian continued to retreat, and during the process of retreat, Haishang Wang Huahua also divided into several batches, and finally gathered together the elixirs and spiritual materials he needed.
Taiping City of Yu State!
With the news of the wedding of His Highness the Second Highness and the eldest daughter of the Gan family, coupled with the completion of Baoyin Buildings in various places, the news that the Baoyin Building Headquarters will be the first to open.
For a time, in the capital, even various forces in the Yu Kingdom sent monk representatives to the residence of His Highness the Second Prince in Taiping City in the capital to congratulate him.
The Second Highness also took advantage of this opportunity to make friends with powerful monks from various places.
Therefore, before the news of His Highness's wedding, the news about the upcoming opening of Baoyin Building was promoted by His Highness and others.
Invitations one after another were sent to all the princes and lords of the Yu State, and even several major forces in Zhongzhou also received invitations to the opening ceremony of Baoyin Tower.
Jiang Tian was completely unaware of all this, because at this moment, after Jiang Tian gathered the necessary spiritual materials and elixirs, he began to retreat to refine the magic weapon Feather-Thunder Wings and to rebuild his San Gong.
