Bathed in the light rain in the sky, Lin Ye rode his horse towards Dongwangcheng, and Li Jitian's five men seemed to have given up chasing him and began to evacuate towards the royal city.

However, Lin Ye still didn't dare to be careless. On the next journey, Lin Ye slept in the forest and did not go to the crowded town again. At around noon the next day, Lin Ye finally rushed to the vicinity of Dongwangcheng.

It was still raining in the sky, and Dongwangcheng was really popular. People and carriages came and went back and forth at the city gate. Seeing that there were also many caravans inside, what was even more unexpected was that the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect Nanweitang guarding the gate of Dongwangcheng were actually his acquaintance, Gongsun Hu.

"Well!? Commander Lin! Master Lin!!" The sharp-eyed Gongsun Hu saw Lin Ye in the crowd at a glance (one is that the horse is so good, the other is that the person is so handsome~), and quickly came up to meet him.

"Young City Lord, you are back! Has that ghost clan been destroyed? This is too fast!"

I was still very happy to see my acquaintance. Lin Ye smiled and said, "You know the Ghost Clan, but then again, why did you come here to defend the city?"

Gongsun Hu greeted the disciples around him and followed Lin Ye into the city. The popularity of Dongwang City is really high. Seeing that the surrounding streets are full of stalls and vendors, it seems that the economy is also very good.

"Hahaha, the Young City Lord doesn't know anything. Since I heard that Dongwang City was given to the Young City Lord by the Dangxiang clan as a gift, the Bai City Lord ordered the Qingcheng Sect to be built on Mangye Mountain outside Dongwang City. I heard that the assignment will take at least five years to be fully completed, so I let our Nanwei Hall be stationed here first and wait for the Young City Lord's orders to be dispatched."

Lin Ye nodded: "So that's the case. How are you looking at this city?"

Gongsun Hu smiled and said, "Of course it's good. I heard from Master Luo that the net profit of Dongwang City is about 10,000 taels of silver per day. Moreover, since I heard that Dongwang City was accepted by the Young City Lord, most of the caravans from the Western Regions have changed their roads and walked here. I think the income in the city will be higher in the future."

Just ten thousand taels of silver a day?

It seems that there are quite a lot of people, but it is not easy to raise a city, right?

"Where is Luo Xuan? And Jiang Xun? I won't go back to Qingcheng, right?"

Gongsun Hu replied: "No, no, yesterday afternoon, the new appointment of the Dangxiang clan came, and the Mangye City in Mangye Mountain was also enfeoffed to the Young Lord of the City. Early this morning, Master Luo and Junior Sister Jiang Xun went to Mangye City to take a look under Gu Zhao's escort."

"That's it, let's go to Mangye City too," Luo Xuan and Jiang Xun are not here, so what's the point of staying in Dongwang City?

Bathing in the light rain that was still falling, Lin Ye and Gongsun Hu headed towards Mangye Mountain.

I have to say that Mangye Mountain is really remote. Before it reaches halfway, there is no road ahead, and even horses cannot walk. You can only walk along the remote cliffs to enter the mountain.

"Why is there no one here to repair the road?" Lin Ye said in a little puzzled manner.

Gongsun Hu smiled bitterly: "How can I know this? Maybe because the mountain is too poor and there is no value for building roads, right?"

Business people are all geniuses. Only fools will do business that cannot make money.

However, although this mountain road is difficult for ordinary people, it is not difficult for experts like Lin Ye and Gongsun Hu.

Soon, the two arrived outside Mangye City, but because it was raining, their bodies were wet and a little embarrassed.

"Is this Mangye City? It's really poor."

The city wall is made of rammed earth. Due to the disrepair, most of it has collapsed. Lin Ye and Gongsun Hu stepped directly across the collapsed city wall and walked into the city (just looking at the appearance, this place has been used to being around by the people~)

The streets in the city are not clean, but they are not dirty. Looking around, there are no buildings with more than three-story buildings, and the people around them are also worn out. Looking at Lin Ye and Gongsun Hu from a distance, they dare not get close.

This place is really poor ~

The entire city is not big, with about 30,000 people living there. Soon, Lin Ye saw Luo Xuan and the others.

"Jiang Xun, Luo Xuan!" Lin Ye walked over with a smile. Jiang Xun just glanced at Lin Ye, his expression did not change much, he just said, "When did you come back?"

"I heard at noon. I heard that you all came to Mangye City, so I came over to see what this city is like~"

Jiang Xun said: "It's pretty good~"

"Is that true?"

Compared to Jiang Xun's dullness, Luo Xuan was a little excited, but she still held back her mood and smiled and said, "This Mang Ye City is a little poor, but other places are still very good."

"For example, there are not many people in the city, which is sufficient human resources; Mangye City is located in remote mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many places suitable for farming on the mountain, and at least about 50% of the self-sufficiency."

Luo Xuan paused and continued: "Senior Brother Lin, I want to first use the taxes of Dongwangcheng to build roads and renovate Mangye City. The roads are repaired to completely connect Mangye City with Dongwangcheng. It can drive the economy of Mangye City and increase taxes. Mangye City is located in a remote mountain and is more suitable for building the city lord's mansion, so it costs money, or even spends a lot of money to renovate Mangye City. Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Ye nodded: "You said it is pretty good, so let's follow what you said first."

"Well! It will take at least three years to renovate Mangye City, but the construction of Mangye City starts from the City Lord's Mansion. In those three months, the City Lord's Mansion will be repaired!"

It would be nice to have Luo Xuan here, everything is arranged clearly~

"It's great, just follow your thoughts."

"Well, if there are other plans, I will report to Senior Brother Lin first."

After Lin Ye talked to Luo Xuan for a while, the sky completely dimmed. After a few people inspected Mangye City together, they touched the night and went back to Dongwang City.

(After all, they are all masters, and they are easy to walk at night~)

At present, because the Qingcheng Sect's base in Dongwang City has not yet started to be repaired, Nanweitang and his group are temporarily living in the restaurant run by Qingcheng Sect, while Luo Xuan and Jiang Xun live together in the original city lord's mansion.

The question is, with Lin Ye back, who lives in the city lord’s mansion?

Lin Ye returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Luo Xuan and Jiang Xun. It was really nice to see the luxurious structure of the City Lord's Mansion and the three-story building houses.

"Have you finished reading?"

Behind him, Jiang Xun's voice came.

"Ah!?What does it mean?"

Jiang Xun spread his hands and said, "After reading, you should go back to the inn~ Do you want to sleep with us two weak women?"

Lin Ye: “…”

Lin Ye looked at Jiang Xun, then looked at Luo Xuan who was a little apologetic, helpless.
Chapter completed!
