Chapter XXIV
The development of Zhenlin City is thriving and growing.
On the contrary, the development of Jinyan City, a close neighbor more than 1,000 miles away, can only be described as thriving.
With a large loss of population, weak commodity competition, and no rival in terms of force, it can only be reduced to a dumping ground for commodities in Zhenlin City, as well as a supply place for population, minerals and other resources.
However, in a few years, the speed of decline of Golden Rock City shocked the people in control of the city.
Jinyan City, which was once huge and prosperous, has been reduced to the little brother of a small border city - even if many people refuse to admit it verbally, they still acquiesce to that fact in their hearts.
In terms of economy, technology, city management, military and education, Golden Rock is far behind the emerging city.
Even the only advantage - population, Jinyan City was surpassed by Zhenlin City this year, which broke through the fragile bottom line in the hearts of many big people in Jinyan City.
Especially when they learned that Zhenlin City planned to build a track to Jinyan City to speed up the economic development, the dissatisfaction and anger that had been stored in the hearts of the people of Jinyan City for a long time finally broke out.
They gathered together, discussed countermeasures, and slapped the table angrily.
"Zhenlin City, they are really too pressing!"
"We can't tolerate it any longer! If we continue like this, our family will be completely finished sooner or later!"
"See, a few years ago, I asked you to join forces and completely kill Zhenlin City while it was still in its fledgling!
"What should I do? What should I do? I wait for these families, do I really want to fight to the death with that town and Lin Cheng?"
"Can we beat them?"
A question from a certain head of the family made the boiling scene quiet for a while.
Deathly still.
Everyone asked themselves, with this strength of Jinyan City, can they really fight against that town Lin City?
Today's Zhenlin City has 20,000 elite township guards, 200 monks, and the mysterious hidden powerhouses in the Gudan period...... 1 person.
On paper, the strength is far stronger than that of Jinyan City.
Even if you ignore the monk group and the mysterious powerhouse of the Nagu Dan period, just those 20,000 township protectors can make Jinyan City feel suffocated and unable to fight.
In the face of such a powerful force, even if these heads of the families present say something similar to "the fish is dead and the net is broken", the actual situation is that the fish that may be struggling is dead, and the net is still intact.
"Otherwise, please ask the immortals of Chixing Mountain to come down the mountain and destroy that town of Lin City!"
Five thousand miles northeast of Jinyan City, there is a Chixing Mountain, there is a large sect on the mountain, with countless immortals, among which there are many immortals above the Gudan period.
And the sect of Chixing Mountain is the highest ruling class within a radius of 10,000 miles, including Jinyan City and Zhenlin City, which are all within its control...... It's just that he didn't send someone down to manage it, and he didn't have the energy and resources to manage it, he just let out a word to warn the surrounding sects not to cross the line.
With the strong strength of Chixing Mountain, if you want to deal with Zhenlin City, you don't need to send many immortals, two or three can completely destroy Zhenlin City.
It's just that......
Immortals, are they willing to leave the cave where they practice, go down to the mortal world, and crush a few "ants" in their eyes?
A family head shook his head: "Please don't move, last year, a disciple of my Qi family mentioned this matter to his master, but he was scolded by his master! They are immortals, they don't care about mortal things, and they are too polluted with mortal things, but it is not conducive to cultivation." ”
In the eyes of the immortals, the mortal world is called "red dust", there are many causes and effects, karmic obstacles are disturbed, it is very easy to interfere with the mind, affect the cultivation, so they stay away from it, and generally do not want to intervene in the affairs of the mortal world.
Of course, if something terrible happens in the mortal world, or a rare treasure emerges, then the immortals are willing to go down the mountain.
Therefore, if you want to move the immortals, you must at least take out the treasures that make the immortals feel excited, otherwise with just a few words, the immortals will go down the mountain, and the faces of the ants are too big.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?!"
"Are you just sitting here and waiting to die?"
One of the heads of the house stood up and shouted, and the other heads of the house bowed their heads and were silent.
They really didn't seem to have a good way to stop that town of Lin Cheng.
"I have a plan here, although I can't destroy that town and forest city, but I won't make it better. ”
At this time, among the family heads, the head of the Gao family, who had not spoken much just now, suddenly opened his mouth and opened his eagle-like eyes.
Everyone was shocked.
Someone immediately asked, "What's the plan, let's talk about it." ”
The head of the Gao family bought a pass, glanced at everyone, and then said: "Whether this plan can succeed or not does not depend on the strength of one family, but on the unity of all families! If all families are not in agreement, no matter how good my plan is, I am afraid it will be in vain." ”
"Heart unity, as long as we can defeat Zhenlin City, our family will definitely be united!"
"Say it quickly, say it quickly!"
The heads of the family looked at the head of the Gao family eagerly, hoping to hear the tricks in his mouth.
Seeing that the heads of the family were looking forward to it so much, the head of the Gao family told the story:
"This plan is also very simple, it is two words, blockade. ”
"The reason why Zhenlin City is so rich is because it sells all kinds of commercial goods, and most of their commercial goods have to pass through Jinyan City. ”
"If we intercept these goods and prevent them from passing, or levy a high road tax, how can we sell them out?"
"The other is the population, from tomorrow, no one in Jinyan City is allowed to immigrate to that town Lin City, even a beggar is not allowed to immigrate, the people of Jinyan City must let them stay in Jinyan City!"
"There is also Yaojin Stone, from tomorrow, each family will not be allowed to sell it to Zhenlin City, and not a single piece will be bought! We will never allow our ore to be sold to them cheaply, and then buy Yaojin from them at a high price!"
"This is the only way to keep the things in the hands of our family, if we don't blockade Zhenlin City, our family will have nothing sooner or later!"
After the head of the Gao family finished speaking, there was no approval below, but a worry sounded.
"Our family is so blocked, what should we do if Zhenlin City is angry and sends a large army to attack us?
"It's a blockade plan! It's better to piece together a lot of money and invite a strong monk to assassinate that mountain and river, which is more reliable. ”
"Assassination? There have been few assassins sent by various families over the years, and that Zhang Shanhe is not alive and well? ”
"Now it seems that the only way to save our family is to blockade them. ”
"But what about Zhenlin City's counterattack?
"As long as our families unite, in this Golden Rock City, we are still not afraid of that town and forest city, and my family's tens of millions of years of heritage are still afraid of a city that is less than ten years old?"
"Yes, we will join forces, Jinyan City, we will always have the final say!"
"But...... With such a blockade, what else can I do with my Yang family's business?"
There was a family owner in the room who was extremely hesitant and worried.
Because in the past ten years, his Yang family has established an extremely close business relationship with Zhenlin City, although the head of the Yang family is also very uninterested in the town of Lincheng, but this does not affect the Yang family to sell the Yaojin stone of their own mine to Zhenlin City, nor does it affect the Yang family's caravan, acting as the exclusive right to sell glass mirrors in a big city, ceramics, Yaojin, perfume, fur clothing and other more than a dozen kinds of commodities.
These agency rights can bring huge profits of millions of spirit coins to the Yang family every year.
Grievances are grievances, and interests are interests.
The heads of these families present were all very clear-headed.
It is the head of the Gao family who sacrificed the blockade plan, and his family is also related to the interests of millions of spirit coins in that town Lin City.
Therefore, the controllers of these families really have that heart-warming interest and adopt an extremely strict blockade against that town and forest city?
But what is surprising is that another word from the head of the Gao family actually did the ideological work of all the heads of the family present, reached a consensus, and prepared to unite and block Zhenlin City!
They are determined to give Zhenlin City, a good look!
……
A few days later.
Zhenlin City Council Hall.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, City Councilor Wu Bao's fist slammed on the desk, his face was extremely ugly, and fire erupted from his eyes: "Those dogs in Jinyan City, don't you know how to write dead characters?"
He shouted: "Send troops, send troops immediately, and destroy those rabbit grandsons who are not self-sufficient!"
"Dangdang~"
Zhou Ming, who was sitting at the top, knocked on the table with his knuckles, attracting everyone's attention, and said to Wu Bao: "Don't be impatient. ”
Zhou Ming smiled: "Those guys in Jinyan City, this time they have the guidance of a master, and they can come up with such a ruthless move." ”
Wu Bao got up dissatisfied: "City Chief, they have all reached this point, what are we hesitating about? Fight! Destroy that Jinyan City!"
"That's right! City Chief, just swallow that Jinyan City, they in the province always stumble on us! Not to mention, they have also strengthened our Zhenlin City!"
One of the people below got up and agreed.
Zhou Ming waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "It's easy to destroy Jinyan City, but it's difficult to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, not to mention that many of the outstanding children of those families are cultivating in Chixing Mountain, who knows if there will be a few immortals among these children?"
"The sect should not be provoked for the time being, and I have a better way to solve these families...... Solve it more thoroughly. ”
"What's the solution?"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they asked.
