There is only one street in Xingmin Market, and this street is essentially the only way up the mountain. The street is about 200 meters long, and there are stalls on both sides of the street. Outsiders who have just entered the mountain gate, hired workers in mountain villas, displaced people who have settled, etc., can set up stalls to sell items that they don't need and that others may need.

The bargainers, the loungers, and the families who traveled were all crowded on this narrow road. A small ruin, but it is very lively.

Duan Shen took two followers and walked all the way from the street to the end of the street, until he walked up the stairs up the mountain. They wanted to continue walking, but they were stopped by Zhuang Wei who was guarding the road. The villa guards made it very serious that only those who have the identity card of the villa can go up the mountain and enter the villa because of the summoning.

Although he didn't achieve his goal, Duan Shen didn't force it, after all, he couldn't reveal his identity this time. Anyway, along the way, many things he saw were enough to show that this mountain villa had become a powerful force independent of the Chu State. Although they can't see that they are rebellious for the time being, they have the ability to rebel, which undoubtedly makes Duan Shen secretly determined.

Most of the houses in the bazaar were built to settle the displaced people, so there were no special shops. There are no restaurants, no cloth shops, and there are no special tea shops, rice shops and inns.

However, in order to make it easier for visitors to rest and rest, there is a free supply of tea in the bazaar, but you should bring your own cups and bowls. If you do business, you only need to set up a stall in a designated place, and small businesses are exempt from paying taxes.

But in order to make life more convenient for the residents, there is a department store that specializes in selling all kinds of practical tools, daily necessities, and even food. This department store was set up by Du Le to collect gold coins. To this end, Du Le also ordered a batch of daily necessities in the commodity wholesale street of Fuyong City, and tried to choose some more practical goods, such as monochrome cloth, scissors, needlework, bowls and chopsticks, clay pots, etc., which are some commodities that cannot be produced in the villa at present and cannot be purchased in Chu because of the turmoil. In comparison, even if it is a very ordinary object, it is much more exquisite than the handmade products on the side of Chu State, the price is right, and the sales volume is also excellent.

At every market, Du Le even asked the old housekeeper to arrange to kill a few pigs to sell in limited quantities, and even fish, rice, flour, bacon, edible oil and other foods that were not common in troubled times, Du Le would sometimes go to the Fuyong City Market to buy them and bring them over. Because there are not many of them, it is necessary to queue up as early as possible to rush them out.

Duan Shen walked back a short distance, and saw a long queue in front of the department store, shopping in an orderly manner under the maintenance of the patrol. The homeless people are praising the benevolence of the owner and talking about the superior life of the villa. No one is dissatisfied and looks forward to working in the villa.

The more Duan Shen looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more worried he became, this mountain villa would definitely become the scourge of the Chu State, because the people here had forgotten the royal law of the Chu State, and they were more praising everything in the mountain villa. Duan Shen knew that even here, the royal family of the Chu State had lost the hearts of the people.

From Duan Shen's point of view, he had to make a decision about this situation, that is, to suppress and eliminate hidden dangers.

But if Duan Shen knew that Du Le still had tens of thousands of armed forces, or if he sent someone to negotiate with Du Le on behalf of the government, Du Le would definitely welcome peace and would not intend to go to the hostile government. I wonder if he will change his strategy.

Because Du Le was just very dissatisfied with the government's occupation of his grain, he did not have the idea of replacing the royal family of Chu. If Duan Shen could know and understand that Du Le was actually not a person from this world, everything here only needed a stable life at the tip of the iceberg for Du Le, and Duan Shen would not have made rash decisions in the future.

The street is not long, so after Duan Shen finished shopping, he didn't think about staying for a while. Because they are all ordinary people, they are all crowded on the same street, which makes me extremely dissatisfied as a royal family. Duan Shen decided that it would be better to leave first and return to Jinyang City to make plans. …,

Duan Shen was the prince, so he naturally knew that the Chu State had reached an agreement with the Qi State and the Jin State to cede part of the northern territory. Now, on the contrary, there is constant friction between the Qi State and the Jin State, and the Chu State guards the mountains and forests in the south.

However, the state of Chu had just stopped the war, because of the plundering of the government, the laissez-faire of the royal family, and the growing food panic finally led to a wave of revolt in the country. A large number of displaced people formed a group of gangsters, attacking the granaries of towns and cities everywhere and grabbing grain territory.

In the face of this situation, the royal family of Chu State was of course very taboo about the force of these rogues who were supported by local tyrants. After all, a rogue is a rogue who has no foundation, and will be scattered as soon as he fights. But the strong force is different, the royal family of the Chu State was born in the strong before.

Originally, after the war in the north of Chu State, several big men were strong and weak, so the royal family of Chu State was not so eager to guard against local forces, and even as long as the Qi and Jin countries no longer attacked, the royal family only wanted to close the city gate and restore itself. As long as the surplus victims are almost dead, the government will come out to clean up the mess and give some food, and it will be almost over.

Duan Shen is a very ideal person, the eldest prince died early, the second prince was stupid, the fourth prince was cowardly, and the fifth prince was young, he hoped that he could revitalize the Chu State and regain the lost territory. So he can't tolerate any threat around him.

After the three of them left, Wang Zishen immediately led the nearby Praetorian Guards back to Jinyang City.

Duan Shen thought for a long time along the way, and finally decided to adopt a three-step plan for Xingmin Market.

The first step was to appoint officials to Xingmin Market to take up their posts and perform tentative acts. If it is finally confirmed that the villa has no objections, it will take over.

The second step, if the officials can't take office, then gather some heroes, or even some rogues, or money or official positions to trap Yongxing Ruins, and be sure to destroy them in one fell swoop.

In the third step, if the first two steps are not successful, then the only way to gather troops and horses and send troops to rehabilitate them is done. But this step is a little difficult, mainly because of the lack of soldiers and horses, and the northern army still has to defend against Qi and Jin. And the soldiers of Jinyang City did not even dare to open the city gate, because they were afraid of the reactionary attacks of the rogues and homeless people outside the city, and even the disaster victims.

Duan Shen didn't know what to do, but in fact, the villa was still a little aware of Duan Shen's arrival. More than 100 guards were stationed not far from the mountain, and they had already been discovered by the spies of the mountain villa.

It's just that because these guards all came out of Jinyang City, without Du Le's instructions, the warriors of the mountain villa will not take the initiative to provoke.

You must know that the cottage bandits around the mountain have been exterminated by the warriors of the mountain village. This is also one of the reasons why the surrounding people dare to travel to the Yongxing Bazaar to catch the market. Therefore, such a big move by the Praetorian Guard, the mountain villa will not be completely unaware.

The newly appointed captain of the warrior brigade of the mountain villa, the supreme armed commander of the mountain villa, Feng Ping, was directly appointed by Du Le after his inspection. Feng Ping is responsible for the external defense of the villa, including the extermination of bandits and the rogues who invade the villa, as long as there is any hostile party.

At this time, Feng Ping stood on a hillside, looking at the group of people from the prince Shen who was slowly entering Jinyang City. After the spies in the villa reported that they heard the traces of Wang Zishen, he took a team of three hundred people and monitored them all the time. As long as they have any bad moves, Feng Ping will take people and eliminate them all.

Du Le had no special feelings for Chu Guoben, and the Chu State government robbed him of his property, so he did not have a good impression. Therefore, for the strength of the villa he founded single-handedly, Du Le's instructions are to develop with all his might, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and don't pay too much attention to the Chu State government. Du Le doesn't care, if he can't beat him, can't he escape?

When the gate of Jinyang City was closed, Feng Ping took the three hundred-man team back to the villa. After going back and forth, when Feng Ping walked into the gate of the villa, he learned that the owner of the villa had arrived this night and was convening all the stewards to discuss the villa's plan.
