The blue sky and white clouds, a pot of tea, a game of chess, on the back of the birds in the sky, Lin Dong and Yunlan, are extremely comfortable.&*.

The howling wind cannot break through their air hood. When the scenery below is down, every place is so beautiful. The mountains, dense forests and fields... all look down, with its unique characteristics.
"You lost!" Yun Lan dropped a chess piece and declared the end of the game.
Lin Dong looked up at the white blue sky, blue and full of fantasy colors.
In the vast sky, the huge sky bird is just an extremely small black dot. This black dot is Lin Dong's mount that has been trampled on thousands of mountains and rivers.
Since it is a mount, Lin Dong will naturally make some arrangements. The current location of him and Yun Lan is a small pavilion built on the head of the Tianpeng Bird. This pavilion is built of snow-white ore that emits holy light, with snow-white stone tables and snow-white stone benches. This is a world as white as snow.
Behind, on the back of the Tianpeng Bird is a building covering an area of more than 100. The interior decoration is not luxurious, but it is very exquisite. It is designed by Yang Shun and Peng Qiao. It is comfortable and atmospheric, and has various mechanisms built into one. It combines beautiful defense. It not only ensures that the Tianpeng Bird can be as stable as Mount Tai whether it turns over or causes violent shocks. If it encounters an enemy, even a strong man in the heart stage cannot easily attack it in front of a large number of high-level spiritual ores.
If you prepare dozens of VIP cards filled with food and water, this canopy bird will definitely be the strongest mount for traveling at home.
Chi...
The long beak of the Tianpeng bird suddenly opened and made a crisp chirping.
This is to remind Lin Dong that the next target has arrived at the station, please prepare to land.
Lin Dong and Yun Lan stood up one after another, their spiritual power surged in their eyes, and found a small red dot in the city below.
Above a dense forest, Lin Dong and Yun Lan took out umbrellas made of spiritual beast skins and spirit ores, and jumped down from a height of 1,000 meters.
Although the umbrella vibrated violently, there was no sign of damage in the face of the huge drop force. Lin Dong and the others quickly floated down and quickly above the woods, with their spiritual power surging and easily landing on the towering tree.
Then, after distinguishing the direction, Feng Chi and Shi Shi Shi went straight to the nearest county town.
Entering the city gate while breathing, the two of them shuttled through the streets at a speed that ordinary people could not distinguish between themselves and instantly arrived at the backyard of an inn with a red flag hanging on the top floor. //《》.com》可一大家//
After relaxing his mind, he checked the entire Linji Inn. Lin Dong was surprised to find that Linji Inn had already opened business.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Dong's expression strange, Yun Lan couldn't help asking.
"It's open for business." Lin Dong said with a brow.
Yun Lan was surprised. Although she didn't care much about Lin Ji Inn, she heard Lin Dong mention some of it during her chat every day. When she was in Lingnan City, before Lin Dong sent her guards to various places to build branches, she had already clearly explained that they could recruit chefs after the completion of the construction, but they were all just kept. After the portal was opened, the main store would then officially open according to the actual situation of the city.
In this way, it can be avoided that Linji Inn will open without any advantage. Not only will it not make much money, but it will also make people think that Linji Inn is not very good. It is far better to become a hit on the first day of opening, so that the whole city knows that Linji Inn is the best inn for accommodation and banquets.
The two of them have opened more than fifty branches along the way, and this is the first time they have encountered this situation.
"Maybe there is something special, go in through the gate and ask."
Lin Dong decided to say that those who were sent to build the inn were guards of Linji Inn. The loyalty of these people could not be problematic. Moreover, there were many strange places in the lobby. There were twenty-five dining tables in the lobby. There were only one table of diners, and the wine and food were all green vegetables and radishes. There were only two guys, and they were all lying listlessly on the empty table and napping, and they were dirty all over. At the gate, the shopkeeper in a long silk gown was also covered in oil stains, holding the edge of the door with one hand, as if he was pulling guests at the door.
In this case, there are no such things as accommodation and banquets, which are top-notch inns. It is like a business that is so deserted that even the client can’t afford the salary. The shopkeeper needs to pick up customers at the door, but the client is not afraid of the shopkeeper calling them lazy and the broken inn.
Although there is no support from various characteristics, no matter how bad Linji Inn is, it is just a county town, and it is impossible to be so lonely. The person in charge is not so lonely. He is a dignified warrior in the mental state and brought a lot of spiritual materials when he came. No matter how he is faced, how could he fall into this situation?
The two of them jumped out of the courtyard wall and came all the way to the front of Linji Inn.
"Shopkeeper?"
Jiang Wei, the shopkeeper of the temporary branch and the guard of Lin Ji Inn, was startled by Lin Dong who suddenly stood in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and looked at him again. He suddenly had a strong sense of joy on his face. The shopkeeper finally came to arrange the portal, and he could finally get rid of the bitter sea of suffering of having to make up his mind for anything.
Lin Dong nodded, looked inside, and said, "What's going on? Didn't you tell you that you will prepare to open after the portal is laid out?"
"The shopkeeper doesn't know, there is nothing I can do about it." Jiang Wei smiled bitterly: "A person from the county government came to the door and said that the magistrate would come to inspect and told me that I must open it today."
"Doing to commit fraud and conceal your own bad governance?" Lin Dong frowned and said, "If this is the case, you should beat the yamen runners out. In a county town, no one can do anything to you, right?"
Jiang Wei shook his head repeatedly: "If this is the case, I wouldn't have agreed. Moreover, I wouldn't have dressed it like this."
"Then why?" Lin Dong said in surprise.
Jiang Wei grabbed his head, sorted out his thoughts, and explained: "Hu County is not bad. In addition to being a little timid, it can be considered fair and honest, and has some ability. After more than ten years of office, Chengfeng County has become more and more prosperous under his governance. Not to mention Tongfu, even the entire Hengyu County is considered famous and rich. A year ago, the new magistrate Zhang Juquan took office, and immediately regarded Chengfeng County as a gold ingot. After a few months, he came to inspect the county magistrate Hu, and found that there was no oil on his body, so he went to Chengfeng County to take action one by one. After entering this store, he picked some scary problems. When the store went in, he picked some mistakes that could be imprisoned. County Magistrate Hu did not dare to stand up, so the rich naturally had no courage to compete and could only lose money and avoid disasters."
After a pause, Jiang Wei continued: "The wealth was broken, but the disaster was not over. Zhang Juequan became more and more addicted, and he was more attractive every time and even committed murder. He forced the boss of the largest silk and satin shop in the county to lose everything before he could get the matter. Last time, the magistrate Hu was afraid that Zhang Juequan would come again and got the news that he came to inspect again, so he immediately notified all the shops in the city to close for a few days."
Lin Dong and Yun Lan looked at each other. This prefect Zhang could give him a plaque of the God of Plague, which could force all stores in the city to close. And that county magistrate Hu was also a cute and timid person. He would actually come up with this method. Is this method useful?
In fact, if the county magistrate Hu was a little braver and dared to stand out, with his prestige and the reputation of the prefect Zhang, he would definitely be able to respond to the rich people in the county. Not to mention that although the Han Dynasty was corrupt, it would not be possible to rebel. Even if the wealthy families in the county joined forces to unite all the networks of relationships, it would be enough to make Zhang Jue unable to bear it.
Zhang Juquan's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, which is actually largely due to the encouragement of County Magistrate Hu.
Of course, no one would blame this Hu County Magistrate. There were not many good officials in the Han Dynasty, and no one would care about some of these shortcomings or mistakes. In Lin Dong's eyes, this Hu County Magistrate was even a bit stupid and cute. It is naive to use the method of empty streets throughout the city to perfunctory a corrupt official. However, the Hu County Magistrate could naturally be quite capable. If he used such a naive method, he would probably be forced to have no choice.
Sure enough, Jiang Wei's words confirmed Lin Dong's idea.
"How could it be known that all the shops in the city are closed, and there are not half of the vendors on the street. Zhang Yuquan actually made a penalty of 10 taels of silver on the grounds that each store is guilty of being a thief. Not only does each household have to pay 10 taels of silver, but it also stipulates that the penalty for silver will be even heavier when the door is closed next time. This time, when Zhang Yuquan was coming, County Magistrate Hu came up with a way to pretend to be poor. All the shops opened the doors and put away all the valuables. Then, the rich people tried not to go out. The thin ones would pick up the ragged ones when they went out, and they would choose the cheapest ones when they went out."
Jiang Wei nodded to the only sitting diner, and said helplessly: "There is a boss in it, not far away from Tianhua Buzhuang. It is not rich, but it is considered wealthy. When we come to our Linji Inn, we have a business to talk to several other bosses. So we responded to County Magistrate Hu, and they were dressed in rags, and the table of dishes cost only thirty cents."
Lin Dong was amused and crying. These wealthy families knew that this method was also naive and cooperated. It can be said that the county magistrate Hu had a great face, or that they were not much braver than the county magistrate Hu, and they were also very angry at Zhang Yuquan and dared not speak out.
But then again, the people do not fight against the rich, and the wealth does not fight against the officials. Without any chance, no one jumped out to take the lead and fight with Zhang Juequan. After the imperial court spent thousands of years to recuperate the official road to crossing mountains and rivers, it was also said that ruthless people should jump out of the laws of the Han Dynasty and become bandits without restraint, and all of them entered the mountains. Those ruthless people who dared to rebel without falling into desperate situations basically drank big bowls of wine and ate meat in the parish. If there is fat sheep, they swept up. If there is no fat sheep, they would find other parish bad luck and were extremely happy.
"Okay, we'll leave soon. You can go to the capital through the portal later. In addition to asking Ma Chun to talk about opening, let him find the King of Qingliu and tell him about the matter here. King of Qingliu will know how to do it."
Lin Dong gave an order, strode to the counter, and sat down, and the system prompt rang out. Just as the Linji Inn was added as a branch, a huge team passed by the door.
(Thanks to scrooge for his reward, oo~…)
