Chapter 37: The Evening
Zhao Ziyun took Gu Fan and walked towards the courtyard, I have to say that this decoration style, mainly cyan, is extremely quiet, and there is a hint of arrogance in the low-key. If Lu Tao knew that the old site of their Lu family was now renovated like this, I don't know how he would react.
"Gu Gongzi is here. Zhao Ziyun walked to the crowd and said loudly, attracting everyone's attention to Gu Fan.
"Gu Gongzi looks like a dragon and a phoenix among people. ”
"What a talent. ”
"I don't know how old Gu Gongzi is, my little girl ......"
It was also the first time for everyone to see Gu Fan at close range, and they praised him together, and some even wanted to tell him a matchmaker, which made Gu Fan a little embarrassed, and he could only smirk.
But Zhao Ziyun had seen this kind of scene, so she naturally pulled Gu Fan to her side, as if she was announcing to everyone that Gu Fan was her person again.
Everyone also understands people, and they can understand Zhao Ziyun's action at once.
"Miss Zhao and Gu Gongzi are a match made in heaven, they are really envious of others. ”
"That's it, a talented woman. ”
"Congratulations to both of you. ”
“......”
These people are really good at talking, Gu Fan thought to himself, but it's not bad to give them this illusion, with the background of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, he is also safer, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
But Gu Fan glanced at Zhao Ziyun again, looked at this beautiful woman, and said secretly: "She doesn't really mean this, right?"
Zhao Ziyun also noticed Gu Fan's gaze, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's just for them to see, but if my brother really wants to, my sister won't refuse." ”
Gu Fan snorted, this woman is really a goblin.
Zhao Ziyun smiled, gathered his wine glass and said, "Since everyone is already together, I will give you a glass as the host, thank you for giving me Zhao Ziyun face." ”
Everyone also gathered their wine glasses and said:
"Since the Lu family no longer exists, then my Sheng family is naturally dominated by Miss Zhao. ”
"My Xing family is also dominated by Miss Zhao. ”
"I'm the same!"
“......”
Everyone present expressed their loyalty, now that the Lu family is gone, there is no need for them to get along with the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, or the next one to disappear in the Fallen Leaf City may be their families.
Zhao Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, she originally wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, but now it seems that there should be no need, these people are still very easy to talk to.
Steward Liu nodded secretly, now that the eldest lady has proved herself, she can take over the position of the next president of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce in the future, after so many years of wandering outside, only Steward Liu has been with the eldest lady, and the hardships along the way are probably only known to herself and Zhao Ziyun.
"Since you don't have any opinions, let me announce the rules for the next five years. Zhao Ziyun looked at the people in front of him with a smile, since it is now the Denghai Chamber of Commerce that has the final say, it is natural to reformulate some rules.
Everyone also listened carefully to see what Zhao Ziyun planned to do, after all, it didn't matter much to them who was in charge of this Fallen Leaf City, this was the Great Qi Kingdom after all, and these families would not be allowed to mess around, but after all, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and it was the city lord who had the final say in some details.
"Actually, it hasn't changed much, but it's mainly in two ways. Zhao Ziyun paused after speaking, looked at everyone's expressions before continuing: "The tax that each family pays to the City Lord's Mansion every year will be reduced by thirty percent, but the tax paid to the royal family will remain unchanged. ”
The City Lord's Mansion is naturally the Denghai Chamber of Commerce now, that is, they can collect the money now while sitting.
Everyone is also bright-eyed, reducing the tax on the city lord's mansion by thirty percent, and each of them can reduce the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year, of course, some small families themselves pay less taxes, and they don't feel anything, but this is also a good thing.
Zhao Ziyun and the others continued to speak after everyone quieted down: "Second, if you want to sell things like medicinal herbs and martial arts, the price is more than 10,000 gold coins, you must trade them in our Denghai Chamber of Commerce. ”
After listening to Zhao Ziyun's two requests, Gu Fan couldn't help but look at this goblin-like woman differently, not to mention the realm, it is enough to see her wisdom in the development of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce alone, forcing her to trade in the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, drawing achievements is a lot of wealth, and the auction has always had a preemptive purchase rule, this is another right.
The people of each family also discussed for a while, and then they picked up their wine glasses together and said, "It's all up to Miss Zhao's arrangement." Then he drank it all.
Zhao Ziyun smiled with satisfaction and instructed the maid, "Get the best wine for everyone." "There will be opportunities to make money in the future, and now she doesn't care about this wine money.
Gu Fan also found a place to eat, but there was an endless stream of people who came to toast him, and as soon as he put the dish in his mouth, the next toaster came.
But it didn't take long for these people to get together and compete in boxing, Gu Fan didn't know this, so he sat aside and ate his meal quietly.
Zhao Ziyun mixed in the crowd, gulping wine, and her movements were not like a woman at all, but this was also because she was so happy today, because of Gu Fan, this Fallen Leaf City was successfully taken, and their Zhao family could also maintain the status of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce.
Gu Fan looked at Zhao Ziyun, he didn't expect this woman to drink so much, this kind of wine is not completely unfeeling, even if he drinks a few glasses of this kind of wine, it is still because of his own realm.
However, Zhao Ziyun didn't last long, her face was flushed, even if she drank a lot, it was difficult not to get drunk without cultivating.
Zhao Ziyun staggered out of the crowd with a wine glass, looked around, and finally saw Gu Fan in the corner, and walked towards him with his head down.
"Hey!" Zhao Ziyun sat beside Gu Fan and wrapped his arm around Gu Fan.
"Come, drink a little with my sister. As he spoke, he poured wine into Gu Fan's cup.
Gu Fan hurriedly grabbed Zhao Ziyun's arm, it was nothing for him to drink a little wine, he could use cultivation to resolve it, but Zhao Ziyun's current situation was definitely not able to drink anymore.
"What are you doing!" Zhao Ziyun shouted.
Gu Fan pressed her on the chair, "You can't drink anymore now, you're already drunk." ”
"No, I'm not drunk. Zhao Ziyun slapped the table, "I'm sober." ”
Gu Fan looked helpless, and sure enough, drunk people would say that they were not drunk, so they took the wine glass a little farther away to prevent Zhao Ziyun from stealing it again.
"You're really drunk and can't drink anymore. Gu Fan said seriously, or let Steward Liu take her back.
"Liu Guan ......" Before Gu Fan finished speaking, Zhao Ziyun hugged Gu Fan and forcibly kissed him.
Huh, Gu Fan's mind was blank, what was the situation.
He wanted to push Zhao Ziyun away, but she really hugged it too tightly, unless she used force, but this would definitely hurt Zhao Ziyun.
The two kissed in the corner, and the others would occasionally see it, but they all smiled and didn't see anything.
After a long time, Zhao Ziyun let go of Gu Fan.
"That...... You ......" Gu Fan looked at Zhao Ziyun and was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to do in this situation.
"Don't you feel anything about your sister?" Zhao Ziyun looked at Gu Fan with resentment, he was so active, why didn't Gu Fan react at all, or was he really inferior to Qi Yue?
Gu Fan didn't speak, he had always had a cooperative attitude towards Zhao Ziyun and the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't have any other ideas.
"Qi Yue has already left, do you really think that you can reach the realm of the Martial Emperor within a year and a half?" Zhao Ziyun said unwillingly, Gu Fan is only the peak of a martial artist now, and the difficulty of reaching the Martial Emperor in such a short period of time is comparable to ascending to the sky.
Gu Fan shook his head, "I will definitely bring Qi Yue back." With his Heavenly Fire Body, he was completely confident.
"But ......" Zhao Ziyun wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, Gu Fan and her are not people of the same world after all.
"And I'm going to leave in a while. Gu Fan looked at the starry night sky, "Go and find a way to cultivate quickly." ”
Zhao Ziyun took a sip of water and asked softly, "Go to Qingyun Sect?" Gu Fan won the first place in the Qingyun Sect competition, maybe go there to cultivate.
"Possibly. Gu Fan replied ambiguously, if his cultivation speed in Qingyun Sect was too slow, he would leave to find another place.
"Oh. Zhao Ziyun rested his head on Gu Fan's shoulder and did not speak again.
The rest of the people were still joistering and drinking, and for them, they should be able to develop well under the big tree of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce in the past five years.
Rumble!
The gate of the courtyard was kicked open, and several guards were thrown in.
A teenager walked in, looking like he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Which one is Gu Fan. The young man shouted loudly, and everyone present frowned, this is the venue for smashing the lanterns of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce?
Zhao Ziyun glanced at Steward Liu, she had to be cautious if the other party was not good.
"Is it someone from the Lu family?" Gu Fan asked in a low voice, except for the Lu family, he couldn't think of which force this person would be.
"Probably not. Zhao Ziyun replied.
Steward Liu appeared in front of the young man in a leap, and the martial artist enveloped him, "Didn't the elders in the family teach? ”
Bang!
It was like something hit Steward Liu and sent him flying.
"What person!" Steward Liu looked around after stabilizing his body, but he didn't find anyone, such a strength is afraid that it is only at the peak of the martial artist or even higher.
An old man slowly appeared behind the young man, "The elder should be a bit of an elder, and he should also take action against the child?"
Zhao Ziyun stood up and arched his hand and asked, "I don't know which senior it is?"
"I'm not a senior, just a bad old man. The old man shook his head.
"What is the matter with the seniors?" Zhao Ziyun asked cautiously, what is the purpose of the other party, such a high realm should not come here for no reason.
"Let Gu Fan come out. The young man said loudly, "That's the Gu Fan who is said to be very powerful!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Fan beside Zhao Ziyun, a little gloating, Gu Fan was going to be unlucky now.
Gu Fan walked out slowly, arched his hand to the old man and said, "Senior Gu Fan." ”
The young man said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you salute me! Do you know who I am!"
Gu Fan looked at the angry young man and laughed.
"Are you worthy?"
