Lu Sheng's arrival broke the peace of Chuzhou. As for He Xingzhi, was he just a little unhappy? Or had he already MMPed? Lu Sheng was unwilling to guess. At least both sides were very willing to give it to him in terms of face.

He Xingzhi briefly introduced the situation in Chuzhou and the general income status of the people to Lu Sheng.

When Lu Sheng was used to the developed business in Jiangnan Road, he still felt a clear gap in his heart. Even in Jiangbei Road, which is relatively poor, the business atmosphere is very strong.

But in Chuzhou, there are very few businesses, and almost 90% of the people live by renting land. The people's daily life is very monotonous, and in He Xingzhi's words, it is also very stable.

People rarely walk around, even if they visit relatives, they won’t walk around a few times a year. Compared with Lu Sheng’s cognitive pace of life, Chuzhou can be said to be very slow.

As the capital of Chuzhou, Anqing Prefecture is still as prosperous as Suzhou, but it also brings together the economic strength of the entire Chuzhou to create the current Anqing.

While talking, Lu Sheng was taken outside a deserted courtyard outside Anqing Mansion. The desolate thing was because it was remote, with barren fields within a few miles and no family was left.

But before that, He Xingzhi had ordered people to clean the other courtyard.

"Lord Lu, this was the Prince Qing's Mansion, but thirty years ago, Qingwan was implicated and the house was vacant. This radius of ten miles is all the property of King Qing. Now it is approved by the emperor to hand it over to Lord Lu. I heard that Lord Lu intends to open the Xuantian Academy first?"

"Yes, the real Xuantian Mansion will start operating next year, starting with Xuantian Academy."

"I have cleaned up the Qing Palace. The construction of Xuantian Palace will definitely support the whole city of Chuzhou. If Lord Lu has any needs, just say it."

"Then thank you Lord Tai," Lu Sheng agreed bluntly.

"Tonight I will hold a banquet to welcome Lord Lu and your colleagues who have come from afar. I also ask Lord Lu and your colleagues to enjoy the glory."

"It must be certain!"

After He Xingzhi left, Lu Sheng and his group entered the Qing Prince's Mansion.

It is said that Prince Qing Mansion is just a house, but in fact, it is simply a large residential area. Within the walls, there are dense buildings like an inner city.

Just from this manor, we can see how powerful the Qing Palace was back then was as wealthy as the country.

Lu Sheng walked for an afternoon before walking through the entire Qing Palace. He had a general renovation plan in his mind. The southeast corner of Qing Palace could be demolished and seven or eight floors of townhouses were built. Each building had fifty rooms, and eight people lived in each room.

In this way, one building can accommodate 3,000 people, and seven buildings can accommodate more than 20,000 people. Then, there was originally a school in the Qingwang Mansion, but the school was relatively small. One of the surrounding yards could be demolished and all converted into a school. The instructor's dormitory was arranged in the Qingwang Mansion, and the canteen of the Qingwang Mansion was large enough, so it could be fully accommodated after expansion.

As for the playground, it is completely unnecessary. There is such a large open space around it, and you can simply arrange wooden stakes and fences to use the open space as a training ground.

When he returned to the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion again, Lu Sheng had already made a decision in his heart. Seeing the sky getting darker, Lu Sheng first asked his subordinates to organize the room by himself, and then took a group of officials to the banquet.

The news that Lu Sheng came to Chuzhou was like a stone hitting the pond in Chuzhou. All forces immediately started to discuss urgently when they heard the news.

Baima City is one of the four independent cities in Chuzhou. The entire city is surrounded by dozens of feet of walls.

The Lord of the White Horse City was born after Li Xin, the general of the Flying Cavalry 800 years ago. At that time, the Hu people in the northern grasslands were plaguing the border for a long time, and Dayu repeatedly sent troops to suppress them but failed.

Although Dayu had cavalry at that time, it was much worse than the northern grasslands in terms of tactics and combat power. More importantly, the number of cavalry did not form a scale.

After forty years, Dayu had no choice but to deal with the northern grasslands. The people in the northern border suffered so much.

Until Li Xin rose from adversity, he built Dayu's first pure cavalry ace unit, White Horse joined the army from scratch. Since the White Horse joined the army, it has experienced 32 major and large battles, and each time it has won a great victory.

Li Xin's Battle of the Gods led 10,000 light cavalry to set out from Lanzhou, penetrated directly into the abdomen of the grassland, and fought for 30,000 miles, crossing the grassland as if entering a no-man's land.

Two years later, only 3,000 white horses were left to join the army and returned to Yumen Pass. However, in the past two years, the white horses were joined from the southwest to the northwest, and then turned back to the west and rushed to the east.

Ninety-seven large tribes were destroyed, and more than five hundred medium-sized tribes were countless. The number of small tribes was beheaded by 20 million Hu people, reducing the population of Hu people by half.

A hegemonic nation on the grassland was killed by the white horses and became an endangered creature. After returning from victory, Li Xin was appointed as the king and lord, and was in charge of Lanzhou.

For hundreds of years afterwards, the Li family has always been the spiritual belief of the cavalry of Dayu's military headquarters. The Li family's record of invincible battles has remained until today. It was only after two hundred years ago that the Li family faded out of the military headquarters and established the city of Chuzhou, called Baima.

The rise of each of the four independent cities in Chuzhou is a heart-stirring chapter in history books, but at the same time they are mysterious and powerful. After hundreds of years of changes, they have been separated from the court for too long.

Because there are no officials sent by the court in the independent city, the governance of the independent city is governed by the city lords themselves. There is no need to pay taxes, no need for the court to control it, and it is self-sufficient, and it is like a country in the country.

There are more than fifty independent cities like this. No one would care about this phenomenon, and no one would think there was anything wrong with it. Independence cities were established by those who made great contributions to Dayu back then, and were loyal and kind.

But last year, the cabinet suddenly proposed an independent city threat theory, which really made the lords of independent city feel uneasy.

Their ancestors were loyal and kind, so must their descendants be loyal and kind? Moreover, Independence City was out of the jurisdiction of the court and did not pay taxes to the court, but instead enjoyed the land resources of the court.

This made the cabinet men unhappy for a long time. But if the issue of Independence City is raised in normal times, they will definitely encounter a rebound from noble families. But taking advantage of this thousand-year disaster to raise the hidden worries of Independence City, there are conditions for raising the hidden worries of Independence City.

It’s not that we are looking for trouble, we are guarding against it before it happens.

A thousand-year disaster and all kinds of changes. Under the current circumstances, the secrets of heaven are already slim, and anything is possible.

However, when the court was worried about the issue of independence, Lu Sheng was sent to Chuzhou.

"Lord Li, you have the most informed news in the military headquarters. Do you want to tell us whether the court has let Lu Sheng come to Chuzhou to attack us?" The Lord of Zhongnan asked anxiously.

"At present, I haven't received any news. It's just that Xuantian Mansion was originally set up next year, but Lu Sheng came so early, surprised me.

Therefore, I summoned three city lords to discuss and gather information from multiple parties to find out Lu Sheng’s purpose.”

"We don't know much about this person with Lu Sheng. After completing the scientific examination, we took the initiative to ask for it to be placed in our hometown.

Judging from his life and family situation, he was indeed an ordinary Suzhou citizen. However, it seems that he suddenly had peerless martial arts skills.

Before he went to Beijing to take the exam, no one knew that he had martial arts, and he had never shown any sign of understanding martial arts. However, after returning to Suzhou Prefecture, he showed his acquired martial arts level within half a month.

The acquired realm is not scary. But a month later, he was ordered to investigate the case of Guan Yin being robbed. It implicated Princess Changling and Marquis Ningguo. At that time, Lu Sheng's martial arts showed was not as weak as Changling.

What really made Lu Sheng famous in his battle was indeed the battle of Jinling last year, and the flying immortal from the sky directly forced the sword god Liu Qingyun and the sword immortal Bu Feiyan to retreat!

In this battle alone, Lu Sheng's martial arts have been set at the peak of his innate power. Therefore, speculations about Lu Sheng's martial arts have always been underestimated and never overestimated. In my opinion, Lu Sheng's martial arts may be higher than what he showed.

Under the Taoist realm, he should be invincible. But this is contrary to his life information. Lu Sheng is only twenty-four years old this year. He is so young that he is already at the top. Who else can cultivate such a junior in the world besides the holy land?

Therefore, Lu Sheng's identity is as unfathomable as his martial arts. If we don't understand his background, we shouldn't have easily gotten in touch."

"Who else? Apart from the Nanling Prince's Mansion, who can cultivate such a stunning disciple? And since the capital, he had a relationship with Shen Ling. Since Suzhou Prefecture, he has always obeyed the Nanling Prince's Mansion.

Isn’t this obvious. This person is the killer weapon cultivated by the Nanling Prince’s Mansion?

The Nanling Prince's Mansion contributed all his family to Xuantianwei. In my opinion, he is demonstrating a signal.

Even the Sixiang family handed over the family’s assets to the court. Shouldn’t we independent city lords make a statement? Hahaha… This is a forced confession!”

"He Shen Ruoxu is naturally willing to hand over. Who doesn't know that he is the emperor's most trusted person. He handed over his old fortune, and in the blink of an eye, the emperor might give him twice as much reward.

But if we fall into his evil spirit and hand over all our ancestors' foundation, what will we eat for future generations?"

"The head of the Dongfang family is right, but the court has not officially spoken to us yet. I guess Lu Sheng's purpose here is not us."

"He cannot move us for the time being. He has just arrived and asked for people but no one wants money, and he can't move even if he wants to.

But we cannot just take care of the situation before we look forward to it. We heard that the recent trend of the imperial court has changed, and we have taken this thousand-year disaster to deliberately rectify the entire layout of Dayu. The family of all over the world are staring at each other. Last time my daughter came back to visit her relatives, she gave me an opinion."

"Your daughter? Wang of Langya?"

"Yes, the Wang family of Langya has always been famous for their foresight. Their view is that the emperor insists on establishing Xuantian Mansion despite the opposition of the ministers in the court, regardless of the opposition of the nobles of the family, and in addition to weakening the control of local officials over the people, the most important thing is to weaken the restrictions on the imperial power of the nobles of the family.

The nobles of the clans were spread all over the nineteen states of China, and each clan talked about the same thing on his own acre of land. Even local officials were given priority to obeying the clans, followed by the court.

Although the turmoil that thirty years ago was suppressed, it was actually just that the late emperor received the benefits of the fisherman. Ten years ago, the current emperor also took advantage of the fisherman ascended the throne in this competition.

This has happened twice, and the emperor should not allow the third time. The throne belongs to it, and the nobles of the clans have completely exposed their ability to shake the foundation of the country. The five dragons are seeking death to fight for the throne."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
