In the few months after Jiucheng retreated to the mouth of the valley, the inn remained stationary, its size did not increase, and it did not invade Jiucheng in the slightest.
After the alliance in Reclining Buddha City, Shi Jingtian was less harassed by standing on the back of Xianyu and throwing bombs.
The Central Plains, which was almost divided into two, strangely experienced a brief period of peace.
But that's just the surface.
Secretly, it is generally believed that both sides are preparing for an upcoming war.
Zhongyuan Jiucheng also thinks so.
…
In these few months, Yu Sheng mainly consolidated the city in the valley plain he occupied.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and monsters are no exception.
During the reign of Nine Cities, even though they were both monsters, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the same city.
Some monsters eat a lot of delicious food.
Some monsters are so skinny from hunger that they cannot find a wife - of course, the main reason is that these monsters are discriminatory towards humans and believe that humans can only be concubines, not wives.
If the monsters are like this, humans, not to mention, are suffering unspeakably.
After occupying the plain in the valley, the young master and others made statistics and found that nine out of ten human beings were slaves and maids, allowing monsters to beat and scold them without daring to fight back.
Because if you allow the other party to beat and scold you, you still have life, but if you fight back, you are really dead.
In some places, there is even the phenomenon of cannibalism.
In response to these problems, Yu Sheng moved the city lord's order from Donghuang Yangzhou and promulgated the "Yangzhou Code".
According to the law, the inn guards judged evil monsters and those who helped evildoers, and did not tolerate them at all.
This caused many monsters to resist, and the monster soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley also took the opportunity to respond, but they were all suppressed by the giants led by Xingtian warriors.
After judging the people, under the auspices of Yu Sheng, the young master proposed the plan of "land to the tiller".
In the plan, all the land that has lost its owner will be returned to the inn.
For those monsters who were still alive, had never done any great evil, and had thousands of acres of land, the young master adopted a redemption policy, leaving only the land they could cultivate and returning the rest to the inn.
After all the land was taken back to the inn, the young master decided to rent the land to the poor monsters and refugees indefinitely, so that they could farm with peace of mind.
"Our inn only collects 10% of the grain every year."
The young master stood on the high platform of Baichao City and announced the plan to the people and monsters below, saying very proudly.
He thought the plan was perfect.
When he proposed the plan, shopkeeper Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I am not, you are the qualified successor of..."
Although he didn't know what the first few words meant, the young master was very proud to receive such a high evaluation from Shopkeeper Yu.
However, the reaction of the people in the audience was a bit beyond his expectation.
The people looked at him blankly.
Just when the young master thought there was something wrong with his plan.
Wow!
The people were whispering to each other and discussing.
Those respectable monsters were naturally unwilling to sell their fields, but they had to sell them.
After all, there is still money now, but shopkeeper Deyu got angry and all the money was gone.
Those who had no land were like pies falling from the sky, and they were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths for a while.
With a field, at least food will be provided.
The young master did not forget to add, "Everyone, remember, this field is leased to you by the inn. You have no right to buy or sell, you can only cultivate it."
Everyone in the audience had no objection to this.
The land allows them to cultivate unlimitedly, and they are already very satisfied.
Seeing that everyone in the audience supported this plan, the young master announced on the spot that this policy would be officially implemented in Baichao City.
Baichao City is the center of the valley plain.
Once this plan is successful, it will soon spread throughout the valley plains, allowing people in other cities to be mentally prepared in advance.
He thought well, but the big landowners were the first to be mentally prepared.
Seeing that Yu Sheng actually wanted to buy their land, they also turned to the Taniguchi Demon Soldiers for help, hoping to work together internally and externally to drive away Yu Sheng, the bandit.
Ninetowns agreed.
As a result, the demon soldiers at the entrance of the valley attacked the plains in the valley, plundered and were driven back to the entrance of the valley.
As for those monster landlords who raised troops to respond, they are just tools for Jiucheng to create trouble for the rest of their lives. It would be better if they succeed, and failure is also expected. They don't care at all.
These monster landlords who were tricked ended up dead, and their land was finally given to them for free for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that the gains outweighed the losses, the other monsters slowly accepted their fate.
After selling the land to Yu Sheng, he would still be able to get some money, and there would be discounts for dining at the inn.
After Yu Sheng occupied the valley plain, the appearance of the inn was the most surprising thing for monsters and people alike.
They never knew that there was such delicious food in this world.
As a result, now when people meet on the street and talk about a ghostly inn, they swallow their saliva first as a sign of respect.
Back to the land.
Facing the fertile land of the plains in the valley, he could have swallowed it for the rest of his life, but the King of Nanhuang intervened again.
She asked Miao Renfeng to tell Yu Sheng that she also wanted to buy some fields.
"I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Yu Sheng frowned.
He collected the land mainly to appease the people and let the cultivators have their own land. What if it was bought by the King of the Southern Wilderness?
"Shopkeeper Yu, don't be too busy refusing." Miao Renfeng smiled.
"What my king means is that we will invest in buying the land together, and then all of it will be under the management of the inn. You can divide it how you want."
"So good?" Yu Sheng couldn't believe it.
Miao Renfeng nodded.
"But there's one thing..."
Miao Renfeng looked at Yu Sheng, "10% of the harvest must be handed over to my king. Also, when buying land in the future, it must be purchased in the name of Nanyu Bank."
Speaking of this, Miao Renfeng reassured Yu Sheng.
"Shopkeeper Yu occupies 50% of Nanyu Bank. This land is equivalent to half of yours. And, don't worry, my king only takes the profits and nothing else."
The rest of my life suddenly dawned.
He knew what King Nanhuang had planned. She was taking a long-term approach to catch the big fish.
These profits are accumulated year by year, and the amount is not small. Sooner or later, King Nanhuang will be able to make his money back.
In view of his tradition of marrying his aunt, King Nanhuang was very sensitive to this.
Yu Sheng ignored him and continued: "But how can Aunt Nan be so sure that I can agree?"
He now occupies the plains in the valley. These lands were originally his, and he is paying to buy them just to appease the people.
Let King Nanhuang buy it?
Beautiful thought.
Miao Renfeng is confident.
"Shopkeeper Yu will agree."
"How to say?"
"There is a demon god under my throne. He has no other abilities, but he can swallow the sun..." He looked at Yu Sheng, "His name is the Great Tengu."
"Tengu?!" Yu Sheng was surprised, "Seriously?"
"really."
"make a deal!"
Yu Sheng decisively agreed, "As long as the big dog can force the three-legged crow to release my mother, I agree to this deal!"
“It’s a deal!”
Miao Renfeng stood up and said that he would go back and report to the King of Nanhuang.
After Yu Sheng sent him out, he smiled softly.
It would also be a good idea to let Nanyu Bank participate, and it would save him money.
Anyway, he is both the owner of the bank and the owner of the Central Plains. When the King of Nanhuang wants to cause trouble, he will not be able to cause any trouble.
As for the Tengu, let’s treat this good news as a surprise.
For the rest of my life, I don’t want King Donghuang to spill the beans and be so frightened that the three-legged crow doesn’t dare to come out.
"With her temperament, it's really possible for her to spill the beans when threatening her." Yu Sheng nodded.
