Chapter 610 The temple is small but the wind is strong
He didn't blame A's wife too much. He knew that this was done deliberately by the two governments to deliberately make things difficult for merchants like them who were not firm in their stance.
It's not that he really loves the country of Shan, but that his customer base is among ordinary people. Only people from Shan Guoan and Guofan will come to him to buy and sell goods, and people from countries too far away can't come.
Jinxiu is very big, and monsters sometimes cause trouble. It is still very difficult for mortals to travel long distances. Since the main customer base is in the country of Shan, how can he cut off his own money? This is why the two governments can't stand him.
, just looking for trouble, there are many such merchants in Zhongqing City.
For a long time, the two governments have been relatively open-minded in terms of business, and have not blocked the merchants in the city from trading, and the atmosphere is free; but in the past ten years, the supervision of Zhongqing government has gradually become stricter, and those who are in the direction of Anhe have become more and more strict.
Merchants who do business are very tolerant, but they make things difficult for those who do most of their business in China...
What does this mean? Small businesses like them dare not think about it. They just hope that the development will not lead to an uncontrollable situation. For businesses, a stable environment is really important.
"It doesn't matter, I'll go to the shogunate to pay the fine tomorrow morning. I hope they won't open their mouths this time..."
That's all I can say.
Losing the energy to sort out the goods, the two of them sighed in the store. Not long after, another customer walked in. This time Aju's wife had a long memory.
He came forward and said, "Please show us the verification...Welcome..."
The visitor glanced at her, turned around and left, "You're too late..."
Aju was confused again, "Why do you say it's too late?"
The guest was rude and said, "It's too late to say welcome. I'm here to spend money, not to register."
The master and the servant looked at each other. Obviously, this was a real customer, and they were secret visitors before. Their demands were obviously not on the same level.
"This business can't be done anymore." Zhou Laoxi felt depressed.
... Hou Zi walked out of Yiqu Pavilion. This was already the third store that had rejected him. There was no need to test it again. This was aimed at him, because he didn't want him to understand the real business environment and profit level here.
Are you afraid that Shanmen will raise taxes? This may be the reason, but it is certainly not the whole story.
Private visits on incognito servers are the first priority for new officials when they take office. Unless you want to hang around and wait to die, you must at least have a clear understanding of the basic situation of the area under your jurisdiction.
He has not been able to contact the local cultivators for the time being, so he can only start from the business district. After all, the business district here is managed by the monks from the Zhongjun Mansion. Now it seems that they have already got the news and are on guard against him.
.
Does it make sense?
He could continue to conduct secret investigations, but he felt it was unnecessary; when his status and strength were not enough, he had to keep his tail between his legs, but things were different now. Now that he had become a captain, he could show his tail and shake it.
The three palaces in Zhongqing City each have their own characteristics. The Shogunate Palace is grand, the Zhongjun Palace is luxurious, and the Duwei Palace is majestic. At least in terms of architectural style, the Duwei Palace is not inferior to the other two. This is the face of Yanmen Quanzhen in Pingliang Prefecture.
, it is impossible to compare.
Hou Zi came to the gate of the Duwei Mansion. The gate was closed tightly, leaving only the side door open. There were a few monks standing there chatting. They were all minor cultivators who had not entered Tongxuan. But judging from his temperament, he didn't think so.
The person is a swordsman with basic skills, more like the local orthodoxy.
I sighed in my heart. Although Yanmen Quanzhen had nominally occupied this land for two hundred years, it did not do enough in actual governance. Instead of assimilation, divergence gradually grew.
After all, he is the captain of the first government now, and he has the right to know some secrets within the sect. He knows that this is a sequelae left by the annexation of Langzhong. At that time, an agreement was reached between the Quanzhen sect’s senior leaders and the only infant-transformation ancestor in Langzhong, among which
The most important thing is to maintain local cultural traditions and practice freedom.
Now it seems that such conditions are a bit too tolerant and have caused some forces to have unwanted thoughts.
After calming down, the flying sword came out of thin air, bringing out a shrill sword roar, circling three times in the sky above the Duwei Mansion. Suddenly, the entire Duwei Mansion began to boil.
The middle door was wide open, and a group of monks stood at the door with hands tied. Among them, there were more than a dozen monks from the Third Realm of Tongtian, and the rest were all minor cultivators, just like the structure of the Duwei Mansion when Hou Zi was in Jincheng.
There are no fixed rules for a captain to enter the palace. You can go through the back door quietly, or you can go through the front door with a big fanfare. It depends on the character and temper of the captain. When a villain gets his way, he shows off his identity, so he did something like this, and no one dared to do it.
Question him.
But in the minds of some people, the first impression of the new captain as a young man who was ambitious and frivolous was also caused by Hou Zi deliberately.
Why not pretend to be a fool and let the opponents hidden in the crowd make mistakes?
The first person, Su Lingyun, a natural monk from Yanmen, has been taking over the post of captain during the few months when the captain of Zhongqing City Duwei Mansion was vacant. Half of the three Tongtian realms behind him were from Yanmen Quanzhen.
, has been the backbone of the Duwei Mansion in the past few months.
Looking at this arrogant and domineering young man in front of him, he is not as low-key as the Sikong Mansion should be. Instead, he is as public as the Zhongjun Mansion. For him, who has been working in Yujing for a long time to seek for a high position, his heart is filled with confusion.
It’s hard to hide the loss.
Of course he knows this person, but who in the Sikong Mansion doesn't know it? To put it aside, this person alone has single-handedly picked up the deeds of all the monks in the Third Realm of Tongtian in Situ Mansion, and no one dares to say that he can do it too.
arrive.
However, combat effectiveness is one thing, and hosting a party is another. There is a huge difference.
But since it was the Sikong Mansion's decision, he had no choice but to obey unconditionally. The Sikong Mansion's family rules were very strict in this regard. If he was found to have violated the rules openly and secretly, the severest punishment would be waiting for him.
"Please show your sword talisman, Kanhe."
Su Lingyun has been working in local states and has no experience in serving in Yujing Sikong Prefecture, so he has only heard of this person but has never met him in person.
Hou Zi took out the sword talisman and checked it together, and after checking that it was correct, Su Lingyun raised his voice and said, "There are fifty-seven monks in the Duwei Mansion, fifty-three in fact. We sincerely welcome Hou Duwei's office."
With a smile on his face, his head held high, and his head held high, Hou Tzu walked in surrounded by the monks from the Duwei Mansion. He enjoyed the process very much, but the sense of ceremony was not quite there, and there were no slogans to suit the occasion.
If he were asked to compile it, it seems that it could be sung as: Waiting for the old immortal Zita, with boundless magic power...
This may be the Quanzhen Sect's supervisory team, but it is his captain's mansion. Here, his words are everything and the final verdict.
It is not just a few dozen people, but also millions of people in Pingliang Prefecture.
"I am Hou Zi, and I convince people with my pride!"
This was the first sentence he spoke after taking office.
