People from Hengqin City came here to look around, and the tone of the matter was set.
As for the leader who not only failed to make up for his crime, but also lost ten thousand swords, he didn't care how he was beaten when he returned.
As the deputy city lord changed his name to He Quwu, he was officially included under Lu Xiaobu's subordinates in Quwu City.
At this point, the gourd waists are connected in a line, cutting the entire island.
This new He Quwu was also very lucky, he was made of metal, and Lu Xiaobu also got a divine body from him.
Treat everyone equally.
However, his magical power is comparable to that of Hu Nanshan - Jin Jing.
It sounds like it's better than controlling stone, but in reality, it's just about refining metal.
To put it bluntly, it is a natural material for forging iron.
Well, Hu Nanshan finally found his compatriots.
The two of them are considered close now.
As for Ding Leiwu, I don’t know if it’s because all principals are unlucky and he also has a mutated spiritual root.
Well, these two principals also made a couple.
A group of people came to the city lord's hall, and the four city lord slaves looked at each other with endless words in their eyes.
However, if you really ask them to speak, they probably won't be able to say a word.
They almost didn't know whether they should cry or laugh right now!
Divine slave.
"Now, the first order."
Lu Xiaobu ignored them, took out the map and put it on the table.
He first patted the map: "Starting from today, the transaction taxes in the four cities will be doubled! And the entry tax will be increased!"
"What?!" Liu Funing and the others were startled: "So high?!"
It’s doubled directly, and there’s also an entry tax?!
This tax is too high!
They thought to themselves, this guy doesn’t know how to run a business. If it improves so much, who will come to the city?
"If this is the case, they may choose to take risks!" Qi Jiatong asked aloud.
"Yeah, this is almost the same as robbery!" He Quwu also nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.
Then, he stretched out his hand and nodded at three intervals among the four cities: "Build me four cottages in each interval! Hu Nanshan and He Quwu helped build it. It must be accessible in all directions and indestructible!"
Several people were stunned, what are they doing?
Build a cottage?
Be a bandit?
"Then, the people who photographed you entered the mountain stronghold, suppressed the bandits, and robbed them at the same time. They completely caught the bandits in their hands." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile on his face.
"What is this going to do?" Hu Nanshan asked.
"Completely monopolize the gourd waist!" Lu Xiaobu curled his lips: "Either you go to the city and be robbed openly, or you get robbed in the mountains!"
hiss!
The four city lords took a breath of air.
This move is so cruel!
This is the real monopoly. You can catch both black and white, and it depends on how you pay taxes!
"Also, Hu Nanshan, you can build me a direct passage underground to connect the four cities with each other!" Lu Xiaobu said again.
"This is..." Liu Funing asked.
"Build a fast lane to facilitate mutual support. Flying in the air can be easily intercepted by others, but flying underground can be done without anyone noticing!" Lu Xiaobu said with a smile.
Then, he looked at Liu Funing and Qi Jiatong: "Especially the two of you, who are in the late stage of the divine body golden elixir and have offensive magical powers. It shouldn't be a big problem for the two of you to reach the Nascent Soul stage together. Support each other, and the whole
The gourd waist forms a line!"
"Gudong!"
Liu Funing, He Quwu, and Qi Jiatong all swallowed hard.
This is not a simple monopoly, it feels like starting a war.
After listening to this, you are ready to deal with the Nascent Soul stage!
As expected, there is no one in the demon world who does not stir up trouble!
Why do you say three people swallowed their saliva? Because Hu Nanshan was spitting out bitter water.
Mom!
This has really become a construction job!
They are building a cottage and digging underground passages again!
"He Quwu." Lu Xiaobu called out.
No one agreed.
Liu Funing poked Xin He Quwu: "I'm calling you."
"Oh oh oh, young master, I'm sorry, I'm not used to it yet." Xin He Quwu said with a wry smile.
He has been called by his original name all his life, and now he suddenly changes his name. He will definitely not get used to it for a while.
"It's okay. You can use your gold essence ability to make special metals to forge currency." Lu Xiaobu arranged.
"Currency? What are you doing?" He Quwu was confused.
"Unify the currency, build banks in the four cities, exchange currency for gold and silver, and the taxes paid by the caravans must be our currency. It is best to include the spirit stones in the conversion!" Lu Xiaobu nodded.
said.
The economy determines the superstructure and unifies the currency. In addition, the gourd waist is the only way from east to west. I believe that it will not be long before the currency can be widely spread.
At that time, as the issuer of currency, it will have huge dominance.
Even if it doesn't go that far, for now, after taking the gold and silver from all the residents, you can buy a lot of materials!
Of course, residents who are accustomed to city name changes on a daily basis will definitely not be willing to change.
This takes time, and Lu Xiaobu doesn’t want to become fat in one bite.
"This..." He Quwu was confused.
He doesn't know why he should study this thing carefully.
Wouldn’t it be nice to use gold and silver now?
However, he did not dare to ask any more questions and could only nodded and agreed.
"Also, setting up an intelligence organization to be responsible for collecting and disseminating intelligence is a top priority. We must send confidants!" Lu Xiaobu said again.
Traffic arteries are not only a matter of tax collection, but more importantly, information.
He has a monopoly here and can control public opinion to a certain extent.
Some people say that these are all cultivators and not the Celestial Empire, so what is the use of public opinion?
Useful, of great use!
There is no communication equipment here. Basically, the news on both ends of this thing is told back and forth by these businessmen.
For example, Lu Xiaobu asked people to spread intelligence, saying that people in the first city were preparing to attack the second city.
One person says it’s useless, but all the businessmen who come and go say the same?
With a little more push and pull, things can happen even if nothing happens!
Therefore, information is very important.
The four of them nodded, and they finally understood.
However, what they understood was not why Lu Xiaobu did what he did.
But I understand that their brains are not enough in front of this person.
So, stop talking nonsense and just listen!
In addition to these big things, there are also some small things that Gou Qilang is responsible for. After all arrangements were made, Lu Xiaobu took a sip of water and looked at everyone: "Now, I want to ask you a question, why do people from the devil world come here every time?
Not long, and then go back again?!"
He had been wondering about this question in the first few days since he came here, and now he finally asked it.
However, as soon as these words came out, the scene was completely silent.
