Chapter 417: There is a city lord in the boudoir
Although the Great Qi Dynasty is respected by the surname Jiang, there are still many families who can make some parts of the dynasty shake by stomping their feet.
Although it is not comparable to the royal family, it can be regarded as a first-class local power in the dynasty.
There is such a family living in the city of Youxi, which is known as the Great Qi Salt Port, that is, the Youxi Tong family.
Although Youxi is called Yangang, it is not on the coast of Xingsuhai in the east of Daqi, but an inland river port city.
The Dapanjiang River originated from the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, and its main trunk flowed into the Tianduan barbarian land from north to south, but there was a relatively thick waterway that diverted out, and flowed into the East China Sea from west to east through the territory of Tianfeng and Daqi.
This large river was later used as a waterway to transport sea salt inland from the east.
This river is naturally called the Salt River.
As the largest river port city along the east and west of the Salt River, and there are several natural salt mines outside the city that stretch for hundreds of miles, it has naturally become the largest salt transfer center on the entire Salt River waterway for thousands of years.
And the right Xi Tong family, in this huge salt port, is the complete control, the rest of the big and small families in the city were swallowed up by the ancestors of the Tong family eight hundred years earlier, expelled or simply exterminated, the only remaining one can barely be called a force, is the city lord's mansion secretly investigated by the dynasty.
It's just that the city lords who have come to serve in the past dynasties, according to the rules of the dynasty, are just a master at the peak of the stars, and the top of the sky is a legal domain, and their Tong family has an ancestor of the Tianwen Realm in charge, not to mention a legal domain, even if they see His Majesty the God Emperor of the dynasty, they don't have to be too quiet, after all, the Tianwen master is already extremely rare in a dynasty, and it needs to be counted.
Therefore, His Majesty Jiang Ye, the God Emperor of this Great Qi, has always been polite to those families who have the masters of the Earth Weapon Heavenly Pattern, even in the matter of sending the city lord to settle in the city lord, it is just that he has a pair of eyes there, staring at the people of the Tong family not to do anything rebellious and rebellious, as for whether the rights and status that the other city lords' mansions should have in this right Xi city can be guaranteed, it is purely a blind and blind attitude, and this attitude has invisibly made this right Xi Tong family completely become the real master of this huge salt port within thousands of miles。
Of course, the reason why Divine Emperor Jiang Ye did this was half out of goodwill to the Tong Family's Tianwen Ancestor, and the other half was really helpless.
Rentong's family has a Tianwen master here, can't I Jiang Ye also send a more powerful Tianwen master here to be the city lord No, there are so many Tianwen masters in the Daqi Dynasty family, if every city with a Tianwen master is sent out to be a Tianwen master to be the city lord, not to mention whether those who are above the top are willing to condescend, that is, those people really agree, and he will not be guarded by the king of Daqi at that time?
It is precisely because of the inaction of the dynasty and the weakness of the city lord's mansion that those people of the Tong family really put themselves on themselves
As the emperor of the soil of the salt port for thousands of miles, he killed and took it, everything from the heart, completely ignoring the eyes in the city lord's mansion, not for anything else, because after the right Xi city changed more than ten city lords in a hundred years, he finally met a knowledgeable one, generously accepted the benefits of the Tong family, hid back to the gate of the city lord's mansion and did not go out of the door, and treated himself as a lady of a big family, covered his eyes, blocked his ears, and pretended not to hear anything, and saw nothing。
Therefore, in this Youxi City and several neighboring cities, Hu Mingzhu, who took the name of his daughter's family, was nicknamed the lord of the boudoir city.
I don't know whether to say that this person is good at qi cultivation or thick-skinned, this kind of contempt is not only not angry, but quite a little complacent, every time someone calls him the lord of the boudoir in person, this person can also smile and nod in agreement, which really makes people cry and laugh.
Such a faceless and skinless person, people have laughed at him for a long time, and they don't see him embarrassed, but they feel a little boring, and over time, the name of the city lord of this boudoir has really become a very ordinary title, no matter who mentions it, they don't feel funny anymore.
For some people, it is not clear whether to be happy or to be sad about it.
It's just that, happy or sad, that Hu Mingzhu has lived in simplicity for more than ten years, and the Tong family has sent gifts every year, whether it is a cultivation treasure, antique calligraphy and painting, or a spirit beast sword, a stunning beauty, this Hu Mingzhu is a non-falling order, as for the monthly routine report to the dynasty about the things in the right Xi City, what exactly did this Hu Mingzhu report, no one except the God Emperor Jiang Ye knows, but according to the dynasty's performance of the right Xicheng's eyes over the years, everyone knows that this guy really uses people's money to do things for others, and the dynasty is a good fool。
Hu Mingzhu's low-key and unpretentious performance made the Tong family feel very fond of it, this surname Hu is much more interesting than the previous city lords, so every year, the things that the Tong family sent to the city lord's mansion are so much better, and in recent years, the benefits received by the city lord's mansion are many times better than the money given by the dynasty for a whole year.
This was the envy of many people in the city.
The so-called being an official is just for profit, and the reason why he wants power is not to think about borrowing power to make money?
People sit at home, money comes from the sky, since the benefits can run into their own hands, whether this right city lord has real power or not, and what is the difference between them?
After a long time, the people in the city felt that this Hu Mingzhu was a shrewd guy, and there was no Tianwen Realm ancestor on his head, so he was worthy of the name of the city lord, and he might not be able to loot so much wealth all year round.
Of course, some people express envy and admiration for this, and on the other hand, some people disdain it or even have a disdainful attitude towards Hu Mingzhu.
The rooster crows, and the dog sleeps at night.
You're dignified
A city lord, leading the dynasty's Yulu, but helping a mere Tong family to do things, isn't this the opposite of the opposite, eating other people's food, and smashing other people's pots?
As the saying goes, the word money comes from Ge, the word profit comes from the knife, and the ill-gotten wealth will hurt if you take it.
You Hu Mingzhu are greedy for wealth and wealth, and you have become the lord of the boudoir city who deceives both ends and eats everything, how comfortable you are living now, how miserable you will be when the dynasty calculates the general account in the future.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, this feng shui rotates, and good luck will eventually turn into bad luck.
When the time comes, you will get melons, you will get beans, and under the cause and effect, the retribution will be unpleasant.
It's just that Hu Mingzhu still laughed at this, neither angry, nor sent people to embarrass the people who said these cursed words, he still looked like he was doing his own thing, but made those who scolded him suspicious.
Changing places, changing them to be poked in the backbone like others like this, whether they are right or not, they probably have to fight back first.
But this person is like a lot of feelings, no matter when and where, in addition to laughing, he still laughs, not angry, and the wind is light.
