Chapter 521 Brother-in-law?! (Part 1)
The next thing is simple. Faced with the oppression of more troops than the townsmen, the residents of the town obediently surrendered to Chen Fei and the Black Lotus Army. They originally thought they wanted to offer a large sum of money, and even had to be retaliated by the previous rulers for betrayal. However, the result was beyond their expectations. Because Chen Fei looked down on the tribute in the year, he only gave him much of the goods. He directly charged them one-tenth of the tax, whether it was agricultural tax or commercial tax. Anyway, no matter what, he would collect one-tenth of your harvest.
This tax is just a meaning, representing the dominance of the Black Lotus Army over this town. As for the strength to watch the town not be occupied by other thieves or warlords, Chen Fei naturally kept the Yin Demons. As for how these guys were preparing to mess with the surrounding villages, towns and even cities, it was not something that Chen Fei needed to care about.
After the explanation, Chen Fei, who had been resting in the town for a day, naturally caught a handful of gold and silver that had been collected from the town mayor's house. He rode a horse that was also the mayor before, led Jiang Xueying and the others to ride the horse away. Kitten Kuji naturally followed Chen Fei. As for the property of the town's house, except for taking a batch of travel expenses for Chen Fei, the rest were all allocated to the Yin Demon as military expenses. Chen Fei really didn't know what these 3,500 Yin Demons who had lost control and were very capable, would do what would be done based on this town? Of course, Chen Fei didn't need to consider these. What he cared about was how to easily hang out in this world for a while. As for the mission matters? Let's talk about it when he was tired of playing.
It is estimated that Jiang Xueying and the others were afraid that Chen Fei would invade the town and disrupt the balance of local warlords' forces. They gritted their teeth and endured their fatigue, and rushed to Lan Yucheng, the provincial capital of this province, to display their waist signs. After paying the city gate fee, Jiang Xueying, who entered the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Fei: "Senior, we will be relaxed when we arrive at the provincial capital. We don't have to rush to the road in the future, and we will only have to wait for one or two days, so we can go directly to Wanfa Sect."
Chen Fei blinked his eyes and looked at the spaceship he had ridden in Dongdu, which he had been flying in the sky of the provincial capital, and then looked at the people around him who were used to seeing each other. Chen Fei couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "Has this spaceship spread to such a level?"
"Yes, senior, the spacecraft would only appear in the imperial capital before, and are specially used to carry new young children selected and sent by various sects into the world of monks. But for some reason, in recent years, the sects of the world of monks have been involved in the world of mortals and even this spacecraft has become a tool like a post station carriage. If you want to buy a ship ticket, you can only use jade coins. Each spacecraft guild unifiedly requires that you do not accept mortal currency. However, all major cities in Daqin have such shops for exchange of jade coins, so as long as you are rich and powerful, mortals can also take the spacecraft."
"Jade coins? It should be a thousand gold cakes for one jade coins?" Chen Fei asked casually.
"Hehe, senior, your news is out of date. Now it's 1,000 taels of gold for one jade coin. It saves ten times the price before. You know, a gold cake weighs 10 taels." The lively woman in white who looked like a little girl immediately shouted.
"No way? I remember that the price of the mortal world has risen because of the intervention of the mortal world by the monk world, and the impact of a large number of precious metals has depreciated both gold, silver, copper and iron. Why is it less than before when the jade coins are exchanged for gold now?" Chen Fei asked curiously, he didn't know if his memory was wrong. Anyway, when he was not killed by the old witch of the Mahayana period, he did hear someone nagging that the mortal world has been interfering with the mortal world and relying on the advantages of endless mines, he poured a large amount of precious metals into the mortal world. Why did the situation change a lot after returning to this world a few years later?
"Senior, what you said is that there have been changes in recent years. It is said that for some reason, all the endless mines in the cultivator world have been invalidated, and countless materials have become scarce. The cultivator world, who has no choice, naturally puts its attention to finding materials in the mortal world. You also know how much the cultivators demand materials. Therefore, in order to compete for the minerals in the Qin realm, various sects have fought a lot. I believe that it is also the sects that support the mortal world. Then the sects of the mortal world support warlords in various places, they all want to occupy more territory and obtain more resources." Jiang Xueying sighed.
"The Endless Mine has withered? What happened in the past few years?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder if this matter has anything to do with the Netherworld. After all, in the past few years, the Netherworld has devoured the world, and maybe it will swallow the foundation of the existence of the Endless Mine.
Of course, this kind of thing is just a guess. Anyway, Chen Fei is now relying on hand-to-hand combat and does not need to refine flying swords or anything else. So what if there is a shortage of supplies in the cultivator world? He is too lazy to care about it. When it really needs it, just grab it directly?
"Senior, let's go to Feiyu Shang League to rest in this provincial capital first. The spaceships passing through the sect will not be available tomorrow and next two days." Jiang Xueying suggested
"Okay" Chen Fei naturally followed the crowd. He had nothing to do and felt that it didn't matter what he did.
Because the horses cannot be rode in the city, the group swayed slowly and slowly, and looked around with curiosity. They soon found that the expressions of the people in the city were actually very peaceful, and many people could see the red faces, and the tense and restrained and bitter expressions of the people in the villages and towns outside the city were like two worlds
Seeing this, Chen Fei naturally asked, and Jiang Xueying sighed and said, "Senior, the city has occupied all sects and belongs to the strongholds of each sect, so prosperity is necessary, because this is the face of the sect, and it is very simple to maintain the prosperity of the city. As long as the sect sells a little material, the city can prosper, but the towns and villages outside the city will be miserable. Whether it is miners or hard labor, all the villagers outside the city must be responsible. Some stingy sects prosper the city by exploiting the towns, so there is a completely different scene you see."
"Tsk, I also said why these people in the city are so arrogant? It's because they are lucky enough to be born in the city. Everything they have is given by others. I really don't know what kind of arrogance they have." Chen Fei curled his lips and said disdainfully. He grew up in the countryside, so naturally he couldn't stand the arrogance of people in the city, especially because the arrogance was given by others, not by themselves. It really makes people feel uncomfortable.
Feeling that the topic was a little unhappy, Jiang Xueying immediately winked at the woman beside her. The woman immediately said cutely: "Senior, Yipinlou near our station has special food, and the taste is definitely the best in the entire provincial capital. Then I, Su Xiaoxiao, invites you to have a good meal!"
"Haha! Thank you, then, I don't have much hobbies, I just like to have a bit of a stomachache. I can't. I have been eating grass roots for so many years, and I will definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of delicious food!" Chen Fei said with a pretentious smile.
The woman named Su Xiaoxiao patted her breasts and said with a bold look: "Senior, I really like to joke, but don't worry, I, Su Xiaoxiao, will definitely take you to eat all over the province!" As he said that, he introduced the provincial food as usual: "For example, the Zhu family beggar chicken, the Su family's braised pork, and Zhang Ji's meat patties! And..."
Chen Fei immediately drooled with expectant face and nodded with his head, including the little black cat on his shoulder. He really looked like this. The Yin Demons had no hobbies, and the only hobbies were to eat! He almost found something delicious when he went to a world because the Netherworld was too terrible. He had enough energy but lacked food. The life of Yin Demon was very strange. Eating grass roots and eating stones could survive. What he said just now was not a polite word. Even as the commander, the supreme leader of the army still had to eat grass roots. It was amazing that the grass roots were eating fresher. So when he thought of delicious food, the saliva flowed down.
Under Shen Fei's urging, everyone also increased their speed slightly, and they were too lazy to report to the base first, so they just rushed to the first-grade building
Passing through the city avenue and bypassing several paths that are not visible at all, we came to a place with a spacious open space. There was a building like a palace. A gilt plaque was hung on the main entrance of the palace. The three big words "Yipinlou" were dazzling. The open space had been filled with various carriages at this moment. The stables lined up on the left and right sides of the palace gate to the end of the wall were also full of horses. Su Xiaoxiao immediately screamed: "Oh, Oh, it's lunch time now, don't be full!"
"Don't be anxious. Is the waiter standing at the gate if he doesn't see him? There are still waiters standing at the gate, which means that it's not full yet." Jiang Xueying smiled and said
"Hurry! Don't snatch it for someone!" Su Xiaoxiao immediately took the horse over, but when she turned over and got off the horse and greeted the waiter, the waiter actually shook his hand with a wry smile, and then Su Xiaoxiao stamped her feet there.
Everyone who came from behind dismounted and asked, "What's going on?"
"Senior sister! The waiter said that the last suite was booked. He stood here waiting for the reservation. The seats inside were already full!" Su Xiaoxiao pouted in dissatisfaction and said, pouting with dissatisfaction.
"Who told us to come at this time? It's so normal for Manke to be popular in Yipinlou?" Jiang Xueying smiled disconcerted, then took out a waist sign to show her to the waiter: "Waiter, we are from Feiyu Business Alliance. Can we let us go in and wait and arrange us first when there is a space?"
The waiter, who was originally apologetic, had not changed his expression on his face after hearing Jiang Xueying's words, but a light flashed in his eyes. This flash was naturally seen by Chen Fei, who looked at the waiter with some confusion. The answer given by his sensing ability was not even a warrior. He was just a real mortal. Why did he show such a look after hearing the name of Feiyu Shang Alliance?
Chen Fei was about to catch the waiter and ask, but the waiter had already greeted the servants in the gate to lead the horse, and was enthusiastically preparing to lead Jiang Xueying and the others in, but Jiang Xueying and the others would not be so fucked. They all acted in a posture that made Chen Fei lead the way.
Just as Shen Fei was stepping, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind him. Everyone turned their heads and looked at them. They saw more than a dozen men with cold expressions, guarding a young man with an equally cold expression, riding his horse toward him.
Chen Fei's sense told him that the dozens of guards were all figures from the Earth level nine stairs, and the man under guard even reached the strength of the Heaven level nine stairs! Knowing that this person's strength was the same as that of Sister Lin Yuhan, Chen Fei naturally couldn't help but look at the man carefully.
Chapter completed!
