On the third day after the establishment of the Goddess Chamber of Commerce, the old man Wanbaogeshan walked into the city lord's mansion with a smile, and walked out with a smile. The first batch of goods was in place, the money and goods were cleared, and the spirit stone business of the Goddess Chamber of Commerce officially started.
After the news spread, the whole city was filled with gratitude.
On that day, Lu Dakuan came to thank the Lu family on behalf of the Lu family because the Lu family had received a large order for leather goods processing from the Goddess Chamber of Commerce.
After the four families who left earlier heard about it, on the seventh day, the powerful people rushed back from afar carrying heavy gifts and wanted to see the Lord of the City, but were rejected and finally left sadly.
On the tenth day, all the family members of Ye Yu and others arrived, except for Yan Tie, because the people sent out came back and told him that "Yan Xin left half a year ago and has nowhere to go."
Zhang Baoer originally planned to post a notice and ask businessmen to help find or spread the news, but in the end he gave up the idea and even canceled the trip of the people who were going to the two royal cities to establish a branch, because a piece of news came:
Three days ago, the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Xiangyun Kingdom declared war on the Jinxia Kingdom on the same day. Their troops had already been assembled and the war was imminent.
Although the main battlefield is within the territory of Jinxia Kingdom, it is too close to the chaotic city. For safety reasons, Zhang Baoer decided to postpone the establishment of the branch. The war is chaotic. Who knows whether jealous people will take advantage of the chaos to rob. After succeeding, Zhang Baoer decided to postpone the establishment of the branch.
Hidden, who knows who did it?
Besides, when the war breaks out, most high-level monks will actively or passively go to the battlefield. Even if a branch is established, there won't be much business.
This was not over yet, bad news came one after another, and a large number of refugees poured into the troubled city.
They are all ordinary people on the border of the Three Kingdoms. In this world, they have no patriotism, because the harvest of the war has almost nothing to do with these people, but they may be separated from their wives or die.
The upper council decided to prevent these people from entering the city, but the order was denied by Zhang Baoer just after it was issued:
"This is the city of freedom. If we reject them, how are we different from beasts protecting food? Isn't this a slap in the face?!"
At the same time, he also put forward his own opinions:
"Don't charge entry fees. They can come whenever they want. Chaos City is overcrowded, so why not take this opportunity to expand eastward. The able-bodied people among the refugees must participate. As for the old, weak, women and children, Chaos City will allocate funds for relief!"
It was said to be an opinion, but no one would object or raise objections. All the members nodded and said: good.
Two days later, it was seen that there were too many refugees arriving. In just three days, the number had exceeded 20,000. The treasury was in urgent need. Zhang Baoer took the lead in donating materials and money, followed closely by the Lu family, and wealthy families followed suit.
Even ordinary families, seeing the Lord of the City like this, extended a helping hand and allowed the displaced people to live in their homes until the refugee camp was completed, and no one slept on the streets.
This time, the name of the city lord is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is grateful.
If you ask how Zhang Baoer got such confidence, outsiders don't know, and they don't know that the space ring of Minghao, the branch master of Wanbao Pavilion, is in the secret compartment of his piano case.
Or because of decades of accumulation, there is nothing else inside but spiritual stones, almost all of which are medium-grade spiritual stones, and the number is huge...
It was precisely for this reason that Zhang Baoer came up with the idea of Wanbao Pavilion. It is inappropriate to describe those businesses as "making money every day" because the word "fighting" is not meaningful enough.
Fortunately, on the eighteenth day, there was finally good news - Tang Tiantian, who had used the evil spirit to temper herself, had a breakthrough!
Here's what happens:
Boom!
"Wow ha ha ha ha……"
Tang Tiantian broke through the roof, stood on the edge of the big hole and looked up to the sky, laughing, the sound shook the city!
Since it was late at night, dust had accumulated on the roof of the recent expansion of the chaotic city, and the entrance to the basement was in Zhang Bao's room. Therefore, Zhang Baoer and Xiao Ha, who woke up despite seeing something bad, escaped being buried.
Avoid being covered in ashes.
"Tang Tian!"
Zhang Baoer was furious, but as soon as he jumped on the roof, he stopped, stared at Tang Tiantian with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief:
"You broke through!"
"hey-hey!"
Tang Tiantian's answer made his tooth hurt. This guy actually stared at Xiaoha with ill intentions.
So...he finally rushed over and beat her up.
So at the wedding banquet where the 'family' got together, Tang Tiantian, who had become a late-stage spirit beast, looked bruised and swollen. Xiaotian and Duoduo couldn't hold back their laughter, so when they showed up the next day, they also looked bruised and swollen...
…
…………
"No! This is not letting things go, this is depravity, and we can't continue like this!"
On the 20th day, Zhang Baoer couldn't sit still and had been "waiting" for many days. There was no sign of a breakthrough in his cultivation, and his dantian was still a rolling cloud.
So, he took Tang Tiantian's place and went to the Disha acupuncture point to train himself. After more than ten days, he came out dejectedly.
"Eh... instead of showing signs of being condensed into elixirs, the spiritual energy is in chaos! My physique and inner elixirs have developed in a good direction, but only by a negligible amount?! Could it be that my physique has reached its limit?
Now? That’s why they can’t improve like Tang Tiantian and Xiao Ha?!”
"grown ups!"
As soon as he came out of seclusion and finished bathing and changing clothes, and before he had time to eat, Yan Tie came over to report:
"The messenger from Jinxia Kingdom asked to see him, saying that he has a great gift for him! The person who came is a late-stage Jindan cultivator."
"oh?!"
Zhang Baoer was a little surprised. The cause of the War of the Three Kingdoms had something to do with him. The sound of his piano killed dozens of masters from Jinxia Kingdom, which led to the death of a master in the early stage of Yuanying, and the prince of Jinxia Kingdom was captured... Unexpectedly, Jinxia
The country actually sent people to ask for a visit to him.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and asked:
"Is Jinxia Kingdom about to be finished?"
Yan Tie nodded and said:
"The combined forces of Chaoyang Kingdom and Xiangyun Kingdom are overwhelming. We received news three days ago that they have already arrived at King Jinxia's city!"
Sure enough, Zhang Baoer nodded, but just as he raised his hand to let Yan Tie send him away, he suddenly put his hand down and said with a smile:
"What a big gift?!"
Yan Tie couldn't help but smile for a while, shook his head and said with a smile:
"He refused to tell. He said he would only ask someone to fetch it after seeing the Lord! Sir, our Internal Affairs Bureau already knew the whereabouts of the person who came with him last night. It was just a few golden elixirs. Do we want...
"
Seeing his eyes gleaming, Zhang Baoer naturally understood what he meant, but he shook his head and interrupted his words, smiling:
"A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. Ahem...call him here!"
"yes!"
Not long after, a man with a miserable appearance like a refugee appeared in front of Zhang Baoer, but Zhang Baoer ignored him immediately and continued to eat his own food.
The man was an old man who looked to be in his fifties. Zhang Baoer knew that he was a capable person without looking at him because his tone of greeting when he came in was neither humble nor overbearing. When Zhang Baoer ignored him, he was not anxious.
Wait there quietly.
As a result, Zhang Baoer was no longer in a hurry. After eating, he drank tea. While drinking tea, he asked Hong Qi about the whereabouts of Tang Tiantian and others, the situation of the refugee camp, and the progress of urban construction...
After he asked all the questions and made sure there were no questions, the man still stood there like a tree stump, so Zhang Baoer laughed:
"Ah Qi, see off the guests!"
"etc!"
Seeing Hong Qi coming from the side, the man finally lost his composure. He saluted Zhang Baoer and asked curiously:
"Don't you, Lord City Lord, want to know what the villain has brought?"
Zhang Baoer replied without thinking:
"In no mood!"
This answer made the look of doubt on the man's face even heavier, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Why?!"
"hehe……"
Zhang Baoer didn't blame him for being rude. He leaned lazily on his chair and patiently answered his questions:
"Because what you gave was not just a gift, but also trouble... Hey, I was a little curious at first and wanted to hear what the 'big gift' was, but you looked like you were waiting for a price, so...
Don’t think about it anymore! Haha, let’s go slowly without seeing you off…”
"My lord, please stay!"
As soon as Zhang Baoer stood up and turned to leave, the man shouted quickly and walked towards Zhang Baoer quickly.
"Be bold!"
Yan Tie and Hong Qi both wanted to draw their swords to stop them, but Zhang Baoer stopped them as he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter."
The man got his wish and came to Zhang Baoer's side and said in a very low voice:
"Half the country and a mysterious level skill!"
After saying that, he respectfully stepped back and bowed to wait for Zhang Baoer's reply.
Zhang Baoer's brows furrowed and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sat down again and asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"I think I should believe you, but... the price is too high, right? Why is this?!"
Hearing this, the man did not answer immediately. His twitching face showed his inner struggle. Zhang Baoer did not urge him and waited quietly.
After a long time, he clenched his fists, raised his head, looked at Zhang Baoer with red eyes, and gritted his teeth and said:
"The main reason why the two countries jointly attacked our Jinxia country was because of that thing, not because Jinxia country is weak and easy to bully!"
Zhang Baoer was even more puzzled:
"Then why did you put it..."
However, before he finished asking the question, he said to himself:
"Is it because I have good strength, but I said that I have no intention of competing for hegemony, and after observation, you also feel that I am really what you said?"
Having said this, he shook his head and said:
"No, how can national policy be like making a bet?! Am I playing the role of 'the mantis stalks the cicada before the oriole is behind'? Let's not mention it. I should be even less trustworthy than sending the skills to the two countries for self-protection."
right……"
As he listened, the man was filled with horror, his pupils flickered, his slightly stooped body couldn't help but tremble, and cold sweat began to break out.
This piano demon is indeed as cunning and unpredictable as a demon. He can deduce many things in a short period of time. When facing such a person, no one can be calm, because once such a person's idea is established, it will
It’s hard to be changed!
"What if he..."
Thinking of what might happen, the man couldn't help but want to say something, but!
Whoosh!
There was a flash of silver light, and he felt that his throat was a little cold, and his eyes immediately saw Zhang Baoer holding a sword against his throat, without raising his head, and said in a cold voice:
