After Luo Xiang'er had finished making the seven-course meal, Lu Jian came to her side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info saw that she was indeed as she said, her expression was very relaxed, and while she was busy, she was still chatting comfortably with Gu'er and Xiaoding.

Lu Jian began to talk about the situation he understood: Taiji is divided into eight states, and there are three states near the lake, Youzhou in the north, Luzhou in the south, and Dengzhou in the east. The state capital of Youzhou is Decheng, which is 800 miles away from Ancheng. Since Anseong is a gateway to the outside world of Taiji Gate, many monks come there every day to communicate or buy talismans, pills, and magic weapons.

Ancheng now has three major families, namely the Chu family, the Liu family, and the Zheng family.

The Chu family, which is at the top of the list, moved over two thousand years ago, and the reason is very simple, Chu Junkuo, the current head of Taijimen, came out of this family. Their family naturally wanted to rely on this powerful backer to develop themselves, so they cut first and then moved to Anseong. Fortunately, Chu Junkuo puts the interests of the sect first everywhere, and is above board, making it clear that the Chu family cannot do whatever he wants under his banner. However, the elders, disciples and stewards of the Taiji Sect will more or less give some face, and the Chu family has gained countless benefits and conveniences from it, but fortunately, they have not done anything too out of the ordinary for many years, and they have always adhered to the bottom line stipulated by Chu Junkuo. Therefore, the Chu family is a well-deserved first family in Ancheng!

The Liu family is a native of Anseong, and their family's ancestors are very business-minded, both in the aquatic product business and in cooperation with the Jin family in Jinzhou to develop minerals, and now they are undoubtedly one of the three richest people in Taiji. On the premise of purchasing various cultivation resources with a lot of money, the entire family also produced several Yuanying and Jindan monks. The current head of the Liu family is the grandfather of Vice President Liu of the Qingzhou National Chef Association, who has a clear mind and is calm, and can quickly find out what is most beneficial to his family in various situations. The Chu family moved to Ancheng when the previous head of the family was still alive. At that time, the Liu family was unwilling to give up control of Ancheng, and fought openly and secretly for hundreds of years, but they have always been at a disadvantage. When he succeeded as the head of the family, he took the initiative to show goodwill, avoided the edge of the Chu family, and eased the superficial relationship between the two families. Secretly, he spent a lot of money to cultivate several monks who still had the right to speak, including himself who was already a cultivator in the late stage of Jindan. At the same time, he also actively makes friends with powerful families or individuals to expand his network. For example, his family is connected to the Chefs Guild, which can be regarded as indirectly catching up with the Lu family.

The Zheng family is the family mentioned by your brother's elder brother Zheng Fengping. The Zheng family is actually a big landowner, and seven or eight out of ten of the farmland in Ancheng and the surrounding areas belong to their family. From the perspective of strength, it is the weakest of the three, but it is well versed in the golden mean, and it can neither offend the Chu family nor the Liu family, let alone participate in the struggle between the two families. Keeping to himself, just taking care of his own affairs, and never competing for power and profit with the other two.

The prefect of Anseong is basically just a decoration, and you don't need to consider his factors.

The state capital of Luzhou, Lancheng, is only one hundred and thirty miles away from Yuancheng, the capital of Taiji, and is known as the vice-capital. Lancheng has a developed economy, convenient transportation, and open people, and does not exclude outsiders.

There are four major families in Lancheng, namely the Wei family, the Sima family, the Song family, and the Qin family.

The Wei family in the first place is the family of Wei Mo, the great elder of the Shaoyin Palace, who has the highest rank and the highest cultivation in the Taiji Sect. Wei Mo was a cultivator, and apart from cultivation, he basically never took care of his family. But the Wei family's background is much stronger than that of the Chu family, and it can be regarded as a talent over the years. In addition, whether it is the disciples of the Taiji Sect or the families in the secular world, they will look at Wei Mo's face and give care or courtesy, so the Wei family has been on the rise.
