And when Wan Dezhao set off a monstrous wave in Chang'an, the competition in Yuzhang City escalated again.

However, when the news of Wan Dezhao's departure from Yuzhang came, Lu Zongbao was determined to make a quick decision, and on the one hand, he ordered people to speed up the negotiations with Zhou Gang, the governor of Yuzhang Zhichong Prefecture, and on the other hand, he used a large amount of copper coins transported by the ancestors of each family from his own family to increase investment in the land market.

In the face of Wan Shijun's superb operation ability, Lu Zongbao simply gave up his plan to outperform the other party in terms of skills, and was determined to use his overwhelming strength to directly crush the other party, in the final analysis, he still didn't believe that there could be more land in the hands of the Wan family.

When Lu Zongbao invested a large amount of copper coins, the land market in the entire Yuzhang County suddenly became more and more active.

In Yuzhang City, Lu Zongbao chose the same plan as the last stage of the battle for the land in Yangzhou City, that is, to concentrate on the main area of Yuzhang City.

It's not because Lu Zongbao can't think of any other way to repeat the same old tune, it's just that such a commercial battle is unprecedented, even if Xu Chen, the initiator, in today's commercial underdeveloped agricultural society, many wonderful manipulation techniques in the future market can't be used, not to mention Lu Zongbao, a pure taker.

With the help of the various mansions and properties of the small and medium-sized families in Yuzhang City, as well as Wang Xian's layout in Yuzhang City over the years, Lu Zongbao grabbed a lot of land in various prosperous sections of Yuzhang City in a very short period of time.

In addition, a large number of investors from all over the city have entered the market, and the competition for land in several prosperous sections of Yuzhang City has become unprecedentedly hot.

Except for the properties of those first-line families, most of the weaker families wisely chose to throw away their land and withdraw from this increasingly dangerous competition before the land price became somewhat dangerous.

There are those who quit, then there are naturally those who stick to it, it's just that they are bolder and have more desires.

In contrast, the land market in the countryside is not as fierce as in the city, and after a large amount of copper money is invested, the price of cultivated land has also increased considerably, but the increase is far less than that from the city. However, because there are fewer and fewer people in the countryside who are willing to sell their farmland, I don't know what happened, those villages with a lot of farmland have suddenly become more and more xenophobic, and some villagers in the villages who were originally moved by seeing others get rich overnight seem to have disappeared overnight.

Although the output of cultivated land is less, the price of cultivated land in the market is like a source of water, although it is still rising slightly in the first few days, but shrewd investors are beginning to notice the abnormality, and some people who move quickly have begun to secretly and slowly throw out the cultivated land in their hands, so that the price of cultivated land outside the city will be more difficult to rise again.

Of course, only a small number of people can perceive this, and for this reason the price of farmland outside the city still fluctuates on the original Cheng dù.

Because of this, more and more people realize that the land battle in Yuzhang City is now the key to the competition for these prosperous areas in the city. And even fewer people who know the inside story understand that the key to determining the outcome of this battle in Yuzhang City is not in Yuzhang, but in Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away.

Xu Chen was waiting for news here at the moment with the teacher Xu Fan, and he knew that no matter what the result was in Chang'an City, the teacher would definitely be the first to know here.

Xu Chen didn't wait too long, and the housekeeper Uncle Xu suddenly appeared in the house and handed Xu Fan a large cowhide bag.

Xu Fan couldn't wait to open the wax seal, took out one of the stacks of files, and examined them carefully.

Xu Chen sat at the bottom and waited quietly, not caring about Uncle Xu, who was quietly retreating, nor did he think about where such a big cowhide bag came from, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Xu Fan finished reading a large file in his hand, and sighed dejectedly: "Li Shizhi and they are finished!"

At this time, the results of the imperial court's treatment of Li Shizhi and the three had not yet come out, but what Xu Fan held in his hand was a detailed dossier concocted by Ji Wen and Luo Xizao. With such a file with no loopholes, plus a Li Linfu and a Wan Dezhao operating behind the scenes, Xu Fan no longer needed to know the official edict of the imperial court.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Linfu had just presented such a file to Emperor Xuanzong, and this morning a copy of it appeared in Yuzhang City, thousands of miles away.

didn't have time to sigh at the swiftness of the communication channel behind the teacher, Xu Chen immediately stood up after getting the news, and said to the teacher Xu Fan: "Except for one Wan'an, all the masters of the Grandmaster Realm of the Wanjia side stayed in Yuzhang City, and Wan Dezhao was in Chang'an at this time, Wan'an would definitely not leave, and the grandmasters of the Seven Sects and the Five Surnames could not move either, so only our side got this news in Yuzhang City." ”

Although not many people knew about the battle of many Grandmaster Realm masters in the valley that day, it happened to let everyone who should know know about it.

"There is not much time left for us, at most they will be able to get the news in a few hours!" Xu Chen said.

"Do what you want!" Since Xu Fan thought about it, he didn't resist what Xu Chen was going to do, but he was a lot more indifferent.

"Okay, then I'll go!" Xu Chen saluted and turned to leave.

Out of the teacher's courtyard, a group of teenagers outside the courtyard hurriedly greeted him.

"Let's go find Wan Shijun!"

After speaking, Xu Chen led a team of teenagers to the city.

Since Wan Dezhao left, Wan Shijun returned to Yuzhang City, and commanded a number of operations in the city nearby.

At this time, Wan Shijun was in the mansion of the Wan family in the city, bowing his head and thinking about a piece of information on the table.

"Nowadays, the competition for farmland outside the city is irrelevant. But in the city, the land in his hand is still a little insufficient!" Wan Shijun bowed his head and muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Luo Bin on the side asked, "Childe, are the plots we acquired a while ago not enough?"

"Do you mean the batch of land that I asked you to buy in the small black house?" Wan Shijun remembered the past, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Luo Bin nodded quickly.

"So what can a little bit of land do?" Wan Shijun chuckled.

What he did that day was just a little struggle that he was unwilling to be tied up and struggled, but without the help of his family, with Wan Shijun's original strength, he could control the little copper money, even if he had the advantage of time, how much land could he buy? In short, it was far from enough to cope with the current situation!

Just when Wan Shijun was thinking hard about how to get more skin, the porter suddenly reported recently: "Childe, a young man named Xu Chen came outside, saying that he was a friend of Childe, and he came to visit Childe today." ”

Seeing Xu Chen's extraordinary temperament, coupled with the obviously extraordinary team of guards behind Xu Chen, the porter didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came in.

"Xu Chen, what is he doing here?" Luo Bin naturally remembered who Xu Chen was, and he was a little surprised that such a young man who had not had much contact with his son-in-law suddenly came to visit today.

Wan Shijun vaguely understood Xu Chen's intention here, but he was also surprised in his heart: "Shouldn't all the land in his hand have been sold out?"

For Xu Chen, the initiator behind it, Wan Shijun, like Lu Zongbao, noticed his existence a long time ago, and with the power of the Wan family in Yuzhang City, Xu Chen's actions behind his back, Wan Shijun knew everything about it afterwards.

Even if it is the circular base on the island in the middle of the East Lake, the people of the Wan family have infiltrated a lot, although they still haven't penetrated into the most central layer, but like the glaze and shochu, Wan Shijun guessed that all of them should come from this circular base.

Therefore, most of the land that Xu Chen has purchased these days, Wan Shijun has clearly found it, and because of this, after Xu Chen threw out a large amount of land a few days ago, Wan Shijun was able to confirm that the other party should not have much land in his hands. It was precisely after ruling out Xu Chen's uncontrollable factor that Wan Shijun was relieved and bold to carry out the next precise manipulation.

On this day, Wan Shijun's manipulation did not make the slightest mistake, and it also made him even more convinced that Xu Chen had no land in his hands, but now it seems that he still underestimated this person......

Wan Shijun's contemplation didn't affect the speed of his reaction, and after only a few moments, he motioned for the porter to bring people into the house.

Half an hour later, in the living room of the Wanjia Mansion, Xu Chen drank tea peacefully, and after a while, Wan Shijun appeared in the living room.

"I don't know how Brother Xu has the leisure to come to the Humble House today?" Wan Shijun didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

Xu Chen slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "I am a lot anxious not to see Brother Wan for many days!"

"The family is riddled with mundane things, and I can't be busy with my hands and feet!" Wan Shijun didn't smile, and looked directly at Xu Chen with burning eyes, waiting for the other party's reply.

Seeing this, Xu Chen smiled helplessly, reached out and took out a folded white paper from his arms and handed it to Wan Shijun.

After Wan Shijun took it, he slowly unfolded it, but saw that there was a map drawn on the white paper, Wan Shijun recognized it at a glance, it was the distribution map of each city in Yuzhang City!

I saw that there were many dense red dots with cinnabar on this drawing, and after a closer look, Wan Shijun found that these red dots were actually distributed along the main streets in the city, without any exceptions.

Wan Shijun watched quietly, Xu Chen also waited quietly, Xu Chen knew that Wan Shijun would definitely be able to understand the meaning of this drawing.

Sure enough, after a while, Wan Shijun exhaled a heavy breath, the expression on his face instantly became gentle, and he said to Xu Chen with a smile: "Brother Xu is really good!

Xu Chen smiled modestly, and said bluntly, "Don't dare!".

Wan Shijun still smiled gently, and asked: "Xu Chen must have gotten his hands on these plots half a year ago, right? Brother Xu's far-reaching plan makes Zai Xia admire! But if Zai Xia is not mistaken, it seems that all of these plots of Brother Xu are dilapidated slums in various cities, right? This kind of land seems to be worthless!"

Xu Chen also smiled, and then said with a solemn expression: "It's not as big as the second son's family, and every copper plate on hand is exchanged for blood and sweat by the brothers." If you don't have any money, you can only buy these slums that no one wants, and we can't afford those mansions, right?"

"As for the value of these lands, they are actually very simple!" Xu Chen smiled on his face, stretched out a finger, shook it, and said, "With just one simple step, these unloved lands can be worth ten thousand times more immediately!"

Wan Shijun's eyes froze, and he looked at Xu Chen silently.

Xu Chen directly ignored the incomprehensible light in Wan Shijun's eyes, and said calmly: "That is to push the wall of the workshop, or open a door on the wall, as long as it is convenient for people to travel, with the flow of people, these lands can naturally double in value!"

The plots that Xu Chen chose at the beginning were all those slum areas located at the very edge of Fang City, and because there was only one gate and the traffic was inconvenient, these plots of land separated by a wall from the bustling street became worthless.

But these are not a problem for Xu Chen at all, since there is a wall blocking it, it is knocked down, and Xu Chen now has a large number of engineering teams.

As for why the rest of the people ignore this, one is that they don't notice these blind spots, and the other is because in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a strict curfew system in various cities, and after nightfall, the doors of all squares and squares must be closed on time, and no one is allowed to wander on the street, otherwise they will be sent to prison.

Under such a strict system, the people of the city did not even dare to go out into the streets at night, let alone destroy the majestic walls. It's just that these naturally don't have any psychological obstacles for Xu Chen, not to mention that now in prosperous commercial cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang, there are already people who take the opportunity to push the obstructive wall to it, or open a small opening in the wall near the bustling street in disguise to sell some goods. This has not yet happened only in a city like Yuzhang, where commerce is not very developed.

But Wan Shijun actually knew this, but today's meeting, Wan Shijun was not going well everywhere, and he had some inevitable resentment towards Xu Chen in his heart.

Now, seeing that Xu Chen said a qiē, Wan Shijun couldn't pretend to be good, and asked directly, "What do you want?"

Xu Chen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Half of the shipwrights in Hongzhou Shipyard!"

When Wan Shijun heard this, his expression froze, and a trace of irrepressible anger gradually surfaced on his face: "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Xu Chen still smiled Yan Yan: "My appetite has always been good!"

After Xu Chen finished speaking, the living room was quiet for a while, leaving only Wan Shijun's early gasp. After a long time, Wan Shijun calmed down again and said, "It seems that you know a lot about our Wan family!"

"It's okay, it's not much! I just happen to know that the second son has the ability to achieve my goal!" Xu Chen smiled slightly.

Wan Shijun closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and then said calmly: "Okay, I promise you!"

Xu Chen said warmly and said with a smile: "Thank you!"

Both of them are extremely smart people, and they know that since the other party has started this negotiation, then those bargaining things are a little redundant, and they will never be swayed by this small profit.

When the goal was achieved, Xu Chen stood up and prepared to say goodbye after the salute.

Wan Shijun suddenly asked: "Why did you come to me? The price they can offer from the seven sects and the five surnames should not be small, right?"

Xu Chen smiled, knowing in his heart that this was Wan Shijun's purpose of knocking on the side to ask for half of the shipwrights, Xu Chen naturally didn't explain, but just replied: "Because you need to stand on the side of the winner!"

Wan Shijun's heart moved, but his face did not show anything, and he smiled unintentionally: "How does Brother Xu know that he will definitely win in this convenience?"

Xu Chen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled playfully: "Because I know that Brother Wan has won!"

As soon as these words came out, Wan Shijun suddenly stood up in shock, and said in a lost voice: "What did you say?"

Xu Chen just smiled flatly, and replied: "Brother Wan, don't worry, I think you will know in a few hours!"

"Okay, let's say goodbye!" After speaking, Xu Chen turned around and left, leaving Wan Shijun with a shocked face standing in the living room.

"Luo Bin!" Wan Shijun shouted outside.

"Childe!" Luo Bin walked in in a moment.

"Quick! go and ask, has the news of my father's presence in Chang'an come back?" Wan Shijun said hurriedly.

"Yes!" Luo Bin received the order, then turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Wan Shijun immediately stopped him: "Wait!"

"No, this guy probably wouldn't tease me on such a big thing. Quick, go outside the city to inform grandpa, just say that my father's purpose in Chang'an has been achieved, let grandpa prepare for the ceremony!" Wan Shijun said.

"Okay, Childe, I'll go now!" Luo Bin received the order and left quickly.

At the same time, Xu Chen, who left the Wanjia Mansion, did not go home. Now there are a few hours left, time is pressing, Xu Chen must try to finish all the things he wants to do before the results of Chang'an come.

Now all the land in the city has been thrown out in his hands, and he has achieved his goal. There are still a lot of cultivated land left outside the city, and they must be thrown out as much as possible!

With his mind already decided, Xu Chen called a young man and said to him: "Go find Senior Brother Sun Desheng Sun, and ask him to come to the largest tooth shop in the city to find me!"

The boy received the order and trotted away.

Half an hour later, Sun Desheng found Xu Chen in the private room on the second floor of the largest dental store in Yuzhang City.

"Senior brother, why are you looking for your senior brother in a panic?" Sun Desheng and Xu Chen have had a close relationship these days, and they have lost their previous strangeness with each other, and they are now comfortable with their identity as a senior brother.

Xu Chen didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "There is news from Chang'an, Wan Dezhao's goal has been achieved, I'm afraid that in a few hours, the two sides of Yuzhang City will be able to learn about it!"

"Really?" Sun Desheng was equally surprised.

The news of Li Shizhi's imprisonment had already reached Yuzhang City a few days ago, but as most people thought, these three people were extremely powerful and had many henchmen.

But Sun Desheng thought of his extraordinary gentleman, and immediately felt relieved, so he hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Since the people in Yuzhang don't know this news yet, then we should naturally make good use of it!"

Xu Chen's smile was still so sincere, as sincere as many smiles in the past......
