Chapter 31: Changing Your Surname?
Over the years, the relationship between Zhenlin City and Chixing Mountain has been very good, and the sincerity of Zhenlin City every year is also very good, which makes the other party very satisfied.
But why all of a sudden, Chixingshan wanted to make a move on Zhenlin City?
Could it be that there is something that offends Akashi Mountain?
Thinking about it, he shook his head, there was nothing to offend.
Zhou Ming has always been cautious in doing things, and those who should be offended will cut the offended to the roots, and those who should not be offended will never give the other party a handle and find any excuse against himself.
If he can use his interests to turn enemies into friends, as long as the benefits are within his own tolerance, he can take them out and cooperate with the other party for a win-win situation.
However, one billion spirit coins are equivalent to a medium-sized spirit stone vein.
Or a medium-sized spirit stone vein every year!
Last year, Zhenlin City's annual profit was only 800 million spirit coins.
Therefore, once Chixing Mountain asked Zhenlin City to provide one billion spirit coins every year, the meaning expressed was very clear: I want your life!
Why did Akashiyama do this?
Zhou Ming guessed that there should be two reasons:
One is the heart-warming interests, the "Twin Cities Alliance" composed of Zhenlin City and Jinyan City, the rapid development momentum in recent years, the huge profits, not only the surrounding cities are envious, many forces thousands of miles away, have also sent people to learn from or steal teachers, commercial espionage and technical espionage, the Twin Cities Alliance does not know how much has been caught.
This kind of interest may even be moved by some big people on Chixing Mountain, and they want to merge these interests into one go!
After all, immortals are also people, not stones without desires, spiritual coins, herbs, ores and other such things are also just needed for immortals, indispensable, it is best to have more and the better.
The other is the strength of Zhenlin City that makes the immortals feel jealous.
Slaughter Immortal City!
The nickname of this Zhenlin City is now on Chixing Mountain, and the immortals have also heard of it.
After hearing about the deeds of slaughtering immortals in Zhenlin City, the hearts of the immortals all appeared with vigilance and a hint of jealousy.
Six immortals successively, in a relatively short period of time, suffered an extremely strong blow and suddenly fell, what kind of strength is this?
In front of a city ruled by mortals, the immortals are killed like pigs and sheep, what will the group of immortals think in their hearts?
Definitely not applauded anyway.
And in Zhenlin City, whether there are masters who are strong enough to kill the immortals of the Gudan period in seconds, countless forces have speculated, and Chixing Mountain even judged: If Zhenlin City has such a powerful monk in charge, its cultivation must have reached the "stage of devotion".
And the immortals in the god stage, there are only two people in the entire Red Star Mountain.
If Zhenlin City also has one, it means that in terms of force, Zhenlin City has nearly half the strength of Chixing Mountain - the size of the power of this world sect is not calculated by the number of people and average strength, but by the number of people with the highest combat power.
With money, resources, and high-end strength, how can it not be a threat in the eyes of Chixing Mountain?
Even if it is not considered a threat now, it will be considered a threat in the future!
It's just that this time when it is seen as a threat is a little earlier than Zhou Ming estimated, and he originally thought that Zhenlin City could develop steadily for at least ten years.
"Someone must have secretly instigated the drive, which attracted the attention of the high-level of Chixing Mountain in advance, and made them quickly reach an agreement and decide to do something to Zhenlin City!"
"This villain, you must ask Shen Quan to dig them out earlier, and then ......"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Zhou Ming's eyes.
The messengers of Chixing Mountain are expected to arrive in Zhenlin City in three days, but Zhou Ming has already sent out the Shadowless Assassination Team, preparing to kill this wave of messengers halfway through, to buy more time for his own preparation, the longer the better!
……
The capital of the city.
in the back of the family courtyard.
"Good grandfather, good grandmother. ”
"Grandfather, grandmother!"
Zhou Ming's seven children, four sons and three daughters, stood in front of Yingshiyu and Mei Qianhong, and politely greeted them one by one.
"Good, good!"
Mei Qianhong couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and then took out a gift from her body, and gave one to each person.
All of these gifts are extraordinary, some are cultivation exercises, some are special magic weapons, and some are magical treasures, each of which can be said to be worth more than one million.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
"Thank you, Grandma!"
After receiving the gifts, these children were also very polite, their mouths were very sweet, and they gave the gifts they had prepared to their grandfathers and grandmothers one by one.
Of course, these gifts are just ordinary things, such as delicious fruit cakes, self-made embroidery, clothes and jewelry, etc...... The value is average, and it can be bought on the street, but Mei Qianhong still took it with great surprise, and kissed her grandchildren and granddaughters on the face, and before she knew it, her eyes were full of tears.
"Grandma, did Xuan'er provoke you to give birth to you, why are you crying?"
Zhou Ming's youngest daughter, 6-year-old Zhang Xuan, was being held in her arms, and when she saw that her grandmother was very sad, she asked a little childishly.
"No, no, grandma is happy, happy!"
Mei Qianhong shook her head and kissed her little face twice.
Zhang Xuan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it at the corner of his grandmother's eyes.
This scene is the tassel jade standing not far away, and after seeing it, they were slightly touched, and they understood for a while what "family" is and what family affection is.
That's what it should be.
He also instantly understood why his wife thought about it day and night, no matter how to find her son, and also to find her own flesh and blood.
Because this is a kind of maternal love, but also a kind of blood inheritance.
Even when he saw his seven extraordinarily sensible and well-behaved grandchildren, and two of them were very attractive to him, Yingshiyu's face couldn't help but show a kind smile, and he had a plan to cultivate them with all his might...... These seven grandchildren have quite good qualifications and talents.
In addition, Yingshi Jade also saw hope, and carried forward the Ying family, so that Yinghua Valley would grow stronger and stronger!
Because it is not easy for immortals to have children, once they are over 100 years old, there is almost no possibility of giving birth to offspring, according to modern medicine, it is the egg cells in the female luan nest, which have been completely discharged, and after entering menopause, it is basically impossible to get pregnant.
And many of the female monks in this world only care about cultivation and forget about their offspring, and when they get older, they have a partner, and they want to have children but they can't get it...... This kind of infertility caused by missing the childbearing period is called "cultivation is like going against the sky, and if you act against the sky, there will be consequences."
Therefore, the birth of Zhou Ming's body can be said to be a miracle.
And Zhou Ming and his wife Xia Xiaoyan gave birth to seven children in a row, and the number of offspring made Yingshiyu feel very surprised.
However, a question suddenly came to mind, and asked Yingshiyu to pull Zhou Ming aside, and said in his ear: "Shanhe, you are the son of my Yingshiyu, you should have the surname Ying, not the surname Zhang, so let's change the surname back, and your sons Zhang Sheng, Zhang Jin, Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Xin have all changed their surnames to Ying, and the three daughters have also changed their surnames." ”
Changing your surname?
Zhang's surname was changed to "Ying" surname?
Zhou Ming thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Father, it's not that your surname is not good, but it's not easy to change now, outsiders have called me 'Zhang Shanhe' for almost forty years, and suddenly changed it to 'Yingshanhe', who knows who this name is? ”
In addition, Zhou Ming also felt that the surname "Ying" sounded weird, and it didn't seem to be a good surname.
"It was a little inconvenient at first, but after changing it, won't you get used to it after a long time?"
Ying Shiyu thinks that it is better to change back to the surname Ying immediately.
"Father, there are millions of people in my Zhenlin City, and outside the Zhenlin City, there are tens of millions of partners and business dealings, and suddenly changing their surnames will definitely bring a lot ......of inconvenience, and everyone will not be able to adapt to it for a while."
"What's wrong with that?"
Yingshi Yu still doesn't understand it very well, or that sentence: After a long time, won't you naturally adapt to it?
"Change, this surname will definitely change!"
Zhou Ming had to adopt a roundabout strategy, saying that he would definitely change back to his surname Ying, but it would take a certain amount of time, and when he stepped down from the position of the head of the city, some of the Zhang family's industries basically did not need him to take care of it, and whether he changed his surname or not, it would not cause too much impact, he would return to the surname Ying...... Of course, Zhou Ming said it more tactfully, in short, it will take a while to change the surname again, and it cannot be changed immediately.
As for how long it will take, it will be one or two years for the short and three or four years for the long.
At this time, Yingshiyu was surprised by Zhou Ming's words such as "step down from the position of the head of the city" and "no longer take care of the family business", and asked the same question as Gao Xiuzhen: "What do you say, you don't want this city, and you don't want so much business?"
Zhou Ming had to spend more than half a day explaining to him the city's management system, economic structure, future planning, etc., and that set of profound and shrewd and perfectly designed ruling framework completely conquered one person.
However, after the brainwashing, Yingshiyu still did not forget to change her surname.
"Shanhe, your surname can't be changed for the time being, your children, you can always change it first, right?"
"I don't have much of an opinion, but you have to ask the children for their opinions, and if they agree, you can change it immediately. Zhou Ming said.
"Good!"
Yingshiyu excitedly called her seven grandchildren together and asked if they could change their surnames to the same as their grandfathers.
As a result, the answers of several children gave Yingshi Yu one blow after another!
"Well, don't change it, my classmates in my class know that my name is Zhang Sheng, change it to Yingsheng, and my classmates will not get used to it. The sensible Zhang Shengdao.
"Don't! It's not good! My name is Zhang Jin, my name is Yingjin...... It's a name that makes you want to die!"
"I don't want it either, the surname Ying is too strange...... I still think the surname Zhang is better!" The child's upright words made Yingshiyu vomit blood in a depressed mood.
"Yes, yes, how nice it sounds to be called Zhang Xin, I don't want to change it to Yingxin, it's too ugly!" and the child is mending the knife.
"I'm sorry grandfather, my brothers and sisters don't change, so I won't change either. Zhang Xuan, the youngest and most well-behaved, also stabbed him deeply.
On this day, the lost tassel jade felt that the whole sky was gloomy.
