For a family, without commercial support, it is fatal.
Although some of the towns below have family manors that grow plants, produce some necessary food, etc., these cannot support the operation of a family. Without commercial support, a family will inevitably decline.
And now the situation of the Xia family is getting even more intense. The Xi family is bound to destroy the Xia family now!
In the meeting hall, the patriarch Xia Feilong and several elders have been sitting from morning to night, but they still have not come up with a feasible solution. The current situation is that there is not enough financial support, and everything is empty talk.
"Clan leader, perhaps only Xia Yan can help our Xia family get out of this predicament!"
Third Elder Xia Changhe's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up from his seat, looked around at the elders present, then turned to the clan leader Xia Feilong and said.
"Xia Yan?" Xia Feilong's body trembled slightly and his eyes flashed.
Xia Yan is currently the most promising child of the Xia family. Not only did he successfully enter the Purple Leaf Academy to practice, but he also successfully rose to prominence in the Purple Leaf Academy and became the disciple of the dean of the Purple Leaf Academy.
A few years ago, Xia Yan also represented Ziye College in the Mainland College Exchange Meeting.
Although families like the Xia family are not familiar with the college exchange meeting, the patriarch Xia Feilong and several elders are obviously aware of the college exchange meeting.
"But, Xia Yan doesn't know where he is now, how can we find him?" Xia Feilong frowned and shook his head.
"Even if we find Xia Yan and come back now, I'm afraid we can only use force to intimidate the Xi family. Xia Yan will not be able to revive the family business!" the eldest elder Xia Lai said hesitantly.
"No matter what, with Xia Yan here, the Xi family doesn't dare to be so arrogant!" Xia Changhe said.
"Let's send someone to Ziye City to try!" Xia Feilong nodded, "Maybe some of Xia Yan's friends can also provide some information about Xia Yan's whereabouts!"
What Xia Feilong said was naturally in vernacular, and Bai Rui and the other four people spoke in vernacular.
…
A side hall in the courtyard attached to the Xi family!
"Mr. Lu, the Xia family can't hold on for a few more days! Now there are almost no people in their North District Fangshi. More than half of the shops are closed." Xi Potian, the patriarch of the Xi family, was leading a group of people.
He spoke to a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe with a humble smile.
Mr. Lu nodded, his eyes condensed, and he looked outside through the main door, "Chief Xi Potian!"
"We have an agreement to deal with the Xia family this time. After the Xia family is expelled from Yushui City, 30% of the profits from all the Xi family's properties will be ours!" That Mr. Lu suddenly turned his attention to Xi Potian.
, the sharp gaze is heart-stopping.
Xi Potian immediately said, "Of course, if we can bring down the Xia family this time, our Xi family is the largest family in Yushui City. In the future, if we control 90% of the industry and business in Yushui City, then the Wang family and Wang Yue will also have to step aside.
stand."
"This Wang Yue didn't know what kind of medicine he took wrongly, and he even temporarily withdrew from the alliance with us!" Xi Potian's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will let him know what regret means. When the time comes, even if he is kneeling on the ground
Even if you beg me, I won’t agree to cooperate with him.”
"Chief Xi Potian, do you think the Xia family has any trump cards that they haven't used yet?" Mr. Lu asked with a frown.
"True card?" Xi Potian was stunned.
"Hahaha... Mr. Lu, you are worrying too much. Our Xi family has been fighting with the Xia family for so many years. Everyone knows who has the most. If Xia Feilong had any other cards, he would not have waited until this time.
." Xi Potian laughed and said confidently.
"Besides, the leader of our holy church in Yushui City and most of the deacons in the holy church support us! This Xi family can't afford to make any trouble." Xi Potian said proudly and disdainfully.
This time, the Xia family will be completely destroyed! Xi Potian thought to himself.
Now the church in Yushui City also supports the Xi family.
Xi Potian relied on the powerful force behind him to win over Mr. Lan, the leader of Yushui City, and more than half of the deacons. The other deacons also chose to remain silent.
If there is a dispute between the Xi family and the Xia family in the church, the Xi family will definitely win.
Xia Yan could only swallow his anger!
"That's great!" Mr. Lu nodded with satisfaction, "It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest. I wish the Xi family will become the first family in Yushui City as soon as possible!"
A sly smile appeared on Mr. Lu’s face!
"Thank you Mr. Lu for your kind words!" Xi Potian cupped his fists and said with a smile.
Three days later!
Two carriages slowly drove into Yushui City.
"Mr. Xia Yan, where are we going now?" the coachman asked from the front.
Although they knew that Xia Yan's destination was Yushui City before, now they have arrived at Yushui City. Xia Yan has not told them the specific location yet.
"Well..." Xia Yan thought for a while, "Let's go to the church first!"
If Mr. Zhang hadn't accompanied him, Xia Yan would have naturally returned to the Xia family first. But now Mr. Zhang is here, and Mr. Zhang has to summon the deacons to announce Xia Yan's identity as the hall master.
After thinking about it, Xia Yan decided to go to the church first.
"Okay!" the coachman responded.
A coachman got off the car and asked about the route, and then the carriage stopped in front of the Yushui City Temple Palace.
About half an hour later, the two carriages in which everyone arrived arrived at the central square and got off.
Xia Yan looked at the familiar square, the extreme challenge hall opposite the square, the auction house, etc., as well as the restaurant Jufu Building next to him. This is the property of the Wang family and the best restaurant in Yushui City.
Xia Yan took a deep breath of air and looked towards the Holy Temple Palace.
"Manager Zhang, let's go to the church."
Xia Yan turned his eyes and looked at Manager Zhang who had just got off the carriage.
"Okay!" Manager Zhang took a moment to figure out the direction. Hearing Xia Yan's words, he hurriedly responded.
Xia Yan took out a handful of gold coins from his purse, and then took out another handful of gold coins. He took out four handfuls of gold coins in a row, then put them into a bag and walked to several coachmen.
"Thank you for your hard work, these gold coins, apart from the compensation for the carriages used by the car dealer, the rest can be regarded as the carriage fare." Xia Yan stretched out his hand and gave the gold coins to one of the coachmen.
Before the coachman could react, he felt something extra in his hand. The other three coachmen all stared at the coachman holding the gold coins with wide eyes.
At this time, the coachman came to his senses and looked at the gold coins in his hand.
This bag of gold coins contains two or three hundred gold coins. Because they were traveling on the road, their monthly remuneration was relatively high, but it was only three or four gold coins. Xia Yan, this time, gave the four of them two or three hundred gold coins.
One hundred gold coins. Of course, these gold coins will also have to compensate for the loss of carriages and horses in the carriage house. However, apart from that loss, there will be at least one hundred gold coins left.
Divided evenly, each person can have twenty or thirty coins!
"After you drive these two carriages to the carriage house in Yushui City, go back to Ziye City." Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia Yan! Thank you, Mr. Xia Yan!" Several coachmen knelt down to thank Xia Yan, their faces red with excitement.
The fare Xia Yan gave them was almost as much as they paid for driving for a year. This amount of money was considered a small sum of money.
"Xiaoqing, let's go." Xia Yan turned around, took Xiaoqing with him, then said hello to Manager Zhang again, and started walking towards the church.
The native dog naturally followed behind Xia Yan and Xiao Qing.
Of course, the temple in Yushui City cannot be compared with the temple in Ziye City. However, this temple is also extremely gorgeous. There are pairs of guards patrolling outside the door. Ordinary people cannot enter the temple at will.
When Xia Yan arrived outside the temple, Guan Zhang took out his token in advance. When the guards saw the token, they immediately welcomed Xia Yan and others into the temple.
After entering, Steward Zhang found several church stewards, announced the identity of the new church leader Xia Yan, and then ordered them to notify the deacons to gather in the church on time for a meeting tomorrow morning. Those deacons
When I saw the documents from the temple and Xia Yan's hall master's token, of course I immediately obeyed.
"Master Xia Yan, after tomorrow, Yushui City will be officially taken over by you." Manager Zhang said with a respectful look.
"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, "I grew up in Yushui City since I was a child and have a special affection for Yushui City. Being the leader of Yushui City is also a wish I had a long time ago."
Xia Yan said with some emotion.
Looking at the entire gorgeous hall, a deep voice echoed in Xia Yan's heart, "I can finally let my mother's spirit tablet enter the ancestral hall and be with my father's spirit tablet."
"Hall Master Xia Yan, why don't you go back to the family first and take a look?" Manager Zhang asked doubtfully.
Xia Yan shook his head, "Since we have arrived at the church, we are not in a hurry to go back. After the official appointment tomorrow, I will go back to the family to deal with some things."
The first thing is to let the mother's soul be placed in the ancestral hall! And the second thing is to solve the crisis that the family is currently facing. The third thing is naturally to find Bai Hua Bai Rui and the others. Bai Hua Bai Rui and the others should come
Yushui City has three months, and I don't know where they will be arranged now.
"Master Xia Yan is only sixteen years old and has already served as the master of the temple in a county. In the future, he will definitely serve as the master of the temple in the main city..." Manager Zhang seemed to have felt this.
Although he is the steward of the temple, he is extremely envious of the master of the temple.
The master of the temple controls a county. In this county, the master has the final say. Although he is in the temple, he is just an errand, mainly helping the master to deal with some things.
Manager Zhang would rather be the leader of a county town than the steward of the temple. However, it is not easy to be the leader of a county town.
Hearing Steward Zhang's tone, Xia Yan smiled and didn't say much. He looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, let's have dinner in this church with Steward Zhang and these six brothers later."
"Ouch~"
The native dog barked suddenly. Xia Yan said he was going to eat, but he didn't bring the dog with him. It was obviously very dissatisfied.
However, although it screamed in dissatisfaction, Xia Yan seemed not to hear it and simply ignored it.
"Woo~"
Seeing this, the native dog leaned his head on Xiaoqing's calf dejectedly.
Time of the day!
"The hall master summons all the deacons?" Xia Feilong, the head of the Xia family, was surprised.
"Why are we summoned for discussion again at this time? Wasn't it just half a month ago?" Xi Potian, the head of the Xi family, frowned and was also puzzled.
