Chapter 258 Plague
Bing Xiaoqi rested in the city lord's mansion for a day before settling for the Sunset Mountains again, like a madman in cultivation.
Meteor couldn't help but imagine what would happen to the team led by Zhang Qun, Qian Song and others in the Sunset Mountains now...
A group of half-step chakra cultivators, I wonder if they were going well in the Sunset Mountains.
However, it is the critical period of internal struggles among the four major families. The frequent frictions outside the city are becoming more and more intense under the promotion of the four major families. Another Shenling Family and the Mu Family have tactfully retreated back to the Lutian City. The two mines that have been vacant have become the main areas for the firefighting.
The meteor really cannot leave, so he must sit in the city and monitor the movements of the four major families to avoid a sudden escalation of the firefighting one day and affecting the Sifang City.
These days, news has been heard from Liancheng County.
The news that the Shui family in Liancheng was destroyed by the Night Demon Mercenary Group spread throughout the country. The major families became independent and began to seize the Shui family's business, and each controlled the city defense force and recruited unowned mercenaries. During this period, various frictions and firefights were inevitable. In the seven cities, except for the two families, the stable abilities were good, the remaining five cities were like a ball of paste, and they started a tug-of-war with each other, which was much more chaotic than the Sifang City.
Meteor has no interest in the intelligence of Liancheng County.
The situation in Sifang City is unstable now and is not completely controlled. He has no extra energy to take care of other cities.
In addition to practicing every day, I listen to the number of newly settled people in the city reported by Su Peng, Li Longsheng and Situ Longxiang, as well as the purchase and sale of land deeds shops, and the cultivation progress of the 3,000 people in the reserve service.
Meteors are most concerned about the three thousand people.
Because once these three thousand people are put into the city, Sifang City will be truly stable:
Now Sifang City is not controlled by the Yan family, and there is no threat from the Shui family. It is in trade with the Liutian City. The Night Demon Mercenary Group has not responded yet. It can be said that it is in the best development stage. As long as the reserve has combat power, it can immediately free the 2,000 soldiers of the Flame Mercenary Group and do more things.
On the fifth day of the reserve training, Su Peng reported the progress as usual:
"Boss, until today, some talented newcomers in the reserve service have basically stood out. The cultivation progress of "The Great Powerful Mang Niu Art", "Thunder Body Technique", and "Black Sand Gang Body" is quite good. Just wait for the big competition to give them the position of "Shoulder".
"Then organize a reserve battalion competition, let them compete for 300 positions, and stimulate their competitive spirit... In addition, the prizes can be appropriately improved and a level can be opened. We can also change the recipes of the long ones in advance, so that this group of people can grow up first and enter the extraordinary realm." Meteor ordered Su Peng to do as he did.
After receiving the order, the latter mentioned another thing:
"By the way, today I met Xiao Ying and Chen Hai in the city."
"What are they doing in Sifang City?"
The meteor was stunned for a moment.
Since the Sunset Mountains separated, he has not cared much about these two former teammates, and he did not expect that the other party would actually transfer to Sifang City again.
"They can't find Yan Kun or Bing Xiaoqi now. Mu Tou went to Yundu again. I really regretted that I wanted to return to the Flame Mercenary Group, but I was worried that you would not agree. I was wandering around the city and hesitating." Su Peng was still a little soft-hearted, and hesitant to speak for the two of them.
Meteor said without raising his head:
"The opportunity has been given to them, and they have to keep going even if they grit their teeth. Don't worry about them, just do whatever they do."
"I understand."
"By the way, there is another thing. A shopkeeper of Tianbao Trading Company just told me that a caravan will enter the city tomorrow, and the location will be the central market. The scale is similar to the past. However, the reduction of some categories of jewelry and jade, and the addition of some ordinary goods may boost demand and transactions in the city. In addition..."
Speaking of the latter, Su Peng was a little vague.
Meteor thoughts change:
"You mean slaves?"
"Yes."
Su Peng smiled bitterly: "I know that the boss hates slave traders, and I have almost mentioned the people from Tianbao Trading Company. They want me to find out... If the boss does not want this kind of transaction, they can put the slaves in Lutian City without bringing them into Sifang City."
"Tell them, it doesn't matter. What Sifang City lacks the most now is population, slaves, etc. Although it brings it here, the more the better. However, I don't need mercenary prisoners with high military power, nor do I need beautiful women. I want refugees who sell themselves, ordinary people..."
Meteor changed his past tone and decided to open the slave market.
Su Peng immediately smiled:
"That's great. I turned around and told the people from Tianbao Trading Company that they could bring all the slaves they could bring."
Meister didn't know that his decision could be considered a big problem for Tianbao Trading Company.
A few days ago, the northwest direction of Tianbao County was the Sanye Capital City outside Yundu. I heard that a rare large-scale plague occurred in the hinterland of Sanye Capital. It is said that with the background of gods, the prince of the capital could not eliminate the plague, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of people suffering from illness. After the news spread, many villages in various counties and cities located on the border of Sanye Capital City left their hometowns and fled to Tianbao County in Yundu to avoid the plague.
Some families with better families have accommodation in the city;
Some ordinary people are unable to move in the city where prices are rising, and they quickly run out of their wealth and have to commit themselves as slaves.
Just a point in Tianbao Trading Company, more than 10,000 slaves were accepted in one day. In a few days, the number of slaves rose by more than 100,000, and the cities of Tianbao County were overcrowded, which led to the fact that slaves could not be sold at the market price...
There was no choice but to send it to Sifang City.
Because only Sifang City can let go of people now - if other cities continue to accept this, the streets will be unable to be inserted, and sooner or later there will be riots.
After the head of Tianbao Trading Company in Sifang City sent a message to Lutian City, good guy, tens of thousands of slaves in Lutian City left the city to rush to Sifang City that night. The sky was shining. The soldiers at the top of Sifang City saw tens of thousands of refugees rushing towards this side. They were so scared that they thought the army of Lutian City was attacking. The bells ringed on the top of the city to warn, and they entered a state of war preparedness tens of thousands of people at the top of the city.
When Su Peng heard the news, he saw the crowds of people outside, and his cheeks twitched:
What's going on?
So many people.
He asked someone to find the head of Tianbao Trading Company and pointed outside:
"Can the Central Market let go of so many people? I finally helped you to be able to adapt to the city lord, and you just repay me like this? I deliberately embarrass me, right!"
“…”
The head of Tianbao Trading Company was also confused and felt very aggrieved:
He just added the sentence "The more you are, the better" as Su Peng said...
but!
Chapter completed!
