Chapter 19 Taiyue City
Zhong Ye is the city lord of Taiyue City in Jianzhou, and he is also the only monk in the city who has reached the 12th level of Qi Refining. At the same time, he is also the nephew of the headmaster of the Yellow Maple Valley Bell. Otherwise, the position of city lord would not have fallen to him.
Taiyue City is the only city in Jianzhou where monks and mortals coexist. It is said that they coexist. In fact, mortals occupy 95% of the city. Most of the remaining half are monks below the fifth level of Qi Refining. Their biggest wish is to be able to
Visit the Yellow Maple Valley.
And the monks and mortals in Taiyue City, without exception, have a great relationship with Huang Maple Valley. Otherwise, it would be impossible to live in Taiyue City.
Most of the mortals and monks here are relatives and friends of Huang Maple Valley's Qi Refining and even Foundation Establishment disciples. They are protected by Huang Maple Valley. There are even restrictions placed by the Foundation Establishment monks on the city walls. There is no need to worry about banditry even if they are thousands of miles away, and there are no excessive taxes or miscellaneous taxes.
Even the Yue royal family is not qualified to manage Taiyue City.
However, there are many rules and regulations in Taiyue City. One of them is that if there are no disciples with spiritual roots and worship in Huang Maple Valley for three consecutive generations, they will be kicked out of Taiyue City, but they will also be fined.
In Taiyue City, as long as the immortal cultivators do not take the initiative to provoke them, the immortal cultivators cannot do anything to mortals.
If you are provoked by a mortal, it is best to inquire about the backer behind this person, otherwise if you take action, you may provoke the Foundation Establishment Monk. This kind of thing has not never happened.
Therefore, the Qi Refining monks in Yellow Maple Valley are generally not willing to stay in Taiyue City for any length of time except to visit their relatives.
There are not many conflicts of interest in Taiyue City. All interests in the city will be clearly divided in Huang Maple Valley. As for the standards, they will naturally be divided according to the realm of monks in Huang Maple Valley. For example, during the Qi refining period, relatives and friends of disciples all live in the outer city, and foundation-building monks
His relatives and friends all live in the inner city, and they can get a certain share of spiritual rice and spiritual water every year to nourish their bodies, which will help give birth to monks with spiritual roots.
At the same time, all the forces in the inner city have chosen to marry, so that the children with spiritual roots who cannot be worshiped in the Yellow Maple Valley can be combined to see if they can give birth to people with better qualifications, so that they can be vigorously cultivated and worshiped in the Yellow Maple Valley, so that they can continue to stay in Taipei.
Yuecheng.
Among them, there are five major families in the inner city. These five major families not only have foundation-building monks in Yellow Maple Valley, but also more than ten Qi-refining monks. They tightly control most of the interests of the inner city, even if there are other relatives and friends of foundation-building monks living in the inner city.
, you also need to act based on their faces.
Most of the businesses in the inner city are controlled by them, among which Zhong Ye's Zhong family is one of them, and it is also the largest family.
On this day, in the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, the heads of the five major families, including the Zhong family, gathered together, arguing with red faces.
"Brother Zhong, the Taihe Chamber of Commerce is the family fortune that our Lin family has accumulated over the past hundred years. It is too cruel to give away 20% of it. At most 10%, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the family."
The speaker is the head of the Lin family, and he is also a monk in the Qi refining stage, but he is only at the fifth level. However, his eldest brother is a foundation-building monk in Huang Maple Valley, so he directly became the head of the Lin family, and he also has the ability to defeat the Lin family.
He kept things organized and sent two more Qi Refining monks to Huang Maple Valley.
"That's right! Brother Zhong, isn't that Patriarch Lin a casual cultivator? Why did the Mo family suddenly appear? The Immortal Sect asked us to give up so many benefits. However, it took the five of us hundreds of years to work hard.
I just gave away my family property, and I really can’t explain it to my clan members.”
The speaker is a Confucian scholar in his seventies or eighties, with an eighth level of Qi Refining. He is a member of the Chen family in the inner city of Taiyue City. This Chen family can be regarded as a branch of the Chen family of the three major families in Huang Maple Valley. To be precise, he is the monk named Chen Zhuji in Huang Maple Valley.
I have recognized my ancestor and returned to my clan, but it is not clear whether it is true or false.
"Didn't our Zhong family also donate thousands of acres of spiritual land?"
Zhong Ye sighed and said helplessly.
You must know that except for the three major families in Huang Maple Valley, the other ancestors of Jiedan do not have many worldly relatives. Because there are few people, they are all settled in Huang Maple Gufang City. They have their own industries and are not in Taiyue City.
Originally, they thought that the ancestor Lin was the same, but who could have expected that the ancestor Lin brought back a Mo family member when he went out, and even sent a message to Huang Maple Valley to let them divide a territory to accommodate the Mo family member.
Huang Maple Valley was also very straightforward and directly ordered the five of them to give up part of their territory and interests to the Mo family. However, the specific amount was not specified and was left to them to discuss on their own, but they must not disappoint Patriarch Lin. Otherwise, they would
Five families will be severely punished.
In the eyes of Huang Maple Valley, let alone the five of them, even with the foundation-building monks behind them, they are not as good as one finger of Lin Changsheng.
In order not to offend Lin Changsheng, Zhong Ye simply let the five families bleed once. Maybe he could also take the opportunity to climb the big tree of Patriarch Lin, and the pill-forming monk could take away the wealth of the five families with just a word.
life.
Hearing Zhong Ye's words, the parents of the other four families were silent. This time, Zhong Ye was no longer bleeding profusely, but was simply suffering from cramps and bones. Thousands of acres of spiritual land, one-third of the Zhong family's family property was donated, and
It was not what they expected, using their family's interests to please that Patriarch Lin.
"But this is too much. The family fortune of hundreds of years is just given away."
The head of the Chen family was still a little unwilling and muttered in a low voice.
You know, because of the relationship between the Chen family, the Chen family is responsible for mining a vein of spirit stones controlled by Huang Maple Valley. In addition to supplying the spirit stones to Huang Maple Valley every year, a portion of the spirit stones mined are also given to the Chen family. Only some of them are considered to be of high quality.
Only extremely low-level spiritual stones belong to them. Even so, the Chen family is still very fat, and even the other four families also depend on the Chen family's face.
After all, the Chen family can provide them with spiritual stones, even if they are only spiritual stones that are not considered spiritual stones, it is still stronger than the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the mountains near Taiyue City that the monks in their family's Qi refining period have to work hard to absorb and refine.
many.
"That's enough. That's Patriarch Jiedan. He will tell our five families to get out of Taiyue City with just one sentence. Not to mention this little benefit, as long as Patriarch Lin opens his mouth, our family property will belong to him."
Suddenly, the eldest head of the Ye family shouted coldly.
"Besides, this benefit may not be something that Old Ancestor Lin takes seriously. If Old Ancestor Lin is dissatisfied because of this matter, not to mention you, even the clan members in the Immortal Sect will be implicated. Brother Zhong, the Ye family will offer another five hundred acres.
Lingtian, and half of the interests of the Taihe caravan."
The Taihe Caravan is a caravan jointly established by five families. It can earn a lot of spiritual stones for the five families every year. Except for supplying it to Huang Maple Valley, the rest belongs to them. Each of the five families takes 20%, but now the five families
Half of them returned to Mo Mansion.
As soon as the head of the Ye family said this, not to mention the heads of the other three families, even Zhong Ye was shocked.
"Brother Ye, this..."
Five hundred acres of spiritual land, 15% of the profits, this is nearly 60 to 70% of the Ye family's property, donated directly. Even he can't match this courage. If you like me in the mortal fishing world, please collect it:
