It's not that Ye Chen is stingy, but he didn't expect a small map to cost a hundred taels of silver, after all, one hundred taels is almost equivalent to 10,000 yuan in later generations, and these money were enough for Ye Chen and Zhang Qian's brothers and sisters to save money for several years.

However, Ye Chen was also relieved, after all, there were no modern technologies here, and the simplest map was the most precious resource here. Because few people can put together such a large place, if this map is true, a hundred taels of silver is indeed not too expensive.

Ye Chen returned to the Drunken Immortal Building, and found that it was only morning that there were already people coming to eat one after another, of course, most of them were the rich sons or children of the family, and they were concerned about face.

Of course, this is also thanks to Wan Yu, although everyone thinks that Wan Yu is a nouveau riche child, but Wan Yu comes here to eat every day. If they go somewhere else, doesn't that mean they're not as good as nouveau riche?

Ye Chen also did not refuse to come, except for Fang Xing and Li An last time, he would not drive people out, and there was no reason for people to send money to Ye Chen.

Walking to the table, Ye Chen opened the box, and in addition to a booklet, there was also a large map folded and placed there.

The most eye-catching one on the map is the Qin State, which is more than two or three times larger than the Qi State, and the rest are the other six countries. Judging from the map, Qin is undoubtedly the overlord of the Seven Kingdoms, then Wei, Zhao, Yan and Qi are equally powerful, and finally slightly weaker are Korea and Chu.

In addition to this, there are some red places around these countries that are seriously indicated, and there are notes below that these places are occupied by orcs.

Seeing this, Ye Chen suddenly thought of a question, the orcs have been defeated by the human race, but why no one knows where the orcs come from.

Someone once said that the orcs came from the other side of the continent through the sea, and Ye Chen believed this theory at first, but now Ye Chen has overturned this theory, because they simply don't have the ability to transport such a large number of things from the warriors, and there is no ship that can pass through the sea unhindered in this era.

For so many years, countless people have tried to study the language of the orcs, but unfortunately they have not succeeded until now, because the caught orcs will either commit suicide or die on hunger strike.

Ye Chen thought of Wang Zhitian's words, and began to examine the places of Xiazhou and Linzhou, and whispered after half a sound: "No wonder Wang Zhitian wants to let himself be Xiazhou, and also said that this is the last safe place." ”

Linzhou is already in the northernmost part of the Qi country, and even the northernmost part of the entire continent, and further north is the sea that no one has set foot in, so if you want to come to Linzhou, you can only go through Xiazhou. Ye Chen looked at the clues between Xia Zhou and Lin Zhou, and said: "No wonder the Qi Kingdom gave up Lin Zhou at the beginning, because even if Lin Zhou is lost, then relying on Xia Zhou's moat is enough to stop the orc army, the most terrifying thing is that Xia Zhou has two moats, one at the entrance and one at the exit." ”

This can also explain why Wang Zhitian was sent here in the first place, simply to completely destroy the Wang family's army, not to give them any chance to resist and escape, who would have thought that this place was now completely taken away by Wang Zhitian. Now it seems that Wang Zhitian has already planned for a long time, Linzhou has been completely controlled by him, and now there is only one Xiazhou left, which can ensure that this can be a pure land. ”

Ye Chen finally understood Wang Zhitian's calculations, no wonder the economy of Zhenyuan Mansion is so developed now, according to Ye Chen's estimate, if there is really a war, then as long as the two moats of Xiazhou are guarded, Linzhou alone can make these two places self-sufficient.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen had another doubt, Wang Zhitian must have a lot of things that he didn't tell him, all of which meant that Wang Zhitian was planning this matter from the beginning, and the premise of this matter was that the orcs would no longer invade. But according to the time of the orc's withdrawal, Wang Zhitian had already started to prepare for all this before the orcs withdrew, what happened in the middle.

"Hehe, young master, I just heard a news, I heard that Ye Chen recognized a younger sister after coming here, that little girl is said to be no worse than Zhang Qian, and the most important thing is that the little girl's mother is now living alone outside, if the young master arrests her, why worry about that Ye Chen?" Fang Dong said.

Fang Xing became interested and asked, "Is there such a thing?" Is this news accurate? ”

Fang Dong immediately patted his chest and promised: "Young master, don't worry, although I Fang Dong has never read, but I can't believe it." ”

"Indeed, but this matter needs to be planned carefully, I'm afraid of him, don't be like the previous times. So, you go and call your cousin, and I'll discuss it with him. Fang Xing said.

"Young master, wait a minute, I'll go." Fang Dong replied.

Fang Dong, who ran out, now secretly said in his heart: He is really still very smart, he was able to stand out from dozens of subordinates at the beginning, and this time he also came to Zhenyuan Mansion with the young master to see him, as long as this time the matter is done, it will definitely be another great achievement.

Fang Xing looked at Fang Dong who ran out, and it was rare to think that fortunately, he brought this subordinate out, and it was really a little useful. Then he thought of Ang Lee, since the last time he came back from the cyclamen house with Ang Lee, Ang Lee, who had come to him every day, had not appeared until now, and the money he borrowed from him last time was not given to him.

"Young Master Li, the young master of our family called you to discuss something in the past." Fang Dong ran to Li An's courtyard and said.

Li An was fanning himself on the recliner by the maid next to him, when he suddenly heard Fang Dong's voice and said, "I know, you go back and tell your cousin, I'll go over immediately." ”

"Did my cousin come to me to ask for money?" Li An asked the maid to withdraw, got up and muttered.

Li An walked to the back and found that Fang Xing was already waiting for him, and said first: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time, my brother has been busy with some things recently, and I haven't been able to take care of it recently, and the last time my brother took your money, I won't pay you back for the time being, and when I have the opportunity to go to the capital, my brother will definitely give you double." ”

"My cousin has seen the outside, this time I called my cousin over to discuss something with my cousin, now that there is no Xia Ningdie, do you want to find another chick Xiaoqian, I promise that it will not be much inferior." Fang Xing said.

Fang Xing didn't know how many times he scolded when he heard Li An's words, but Li An said so, he was embarrassed to ask for it again, he also knew the temperament of this cousin, even if he asked him now, it was estimated that the money was almost spent by him.

"Oh, is there such a chick, why don't I know that I've been in Zhenyuan Mansion for so long?" When I heard that there was a woman, Li An was really interested.

"That's natural, cousin still can't trust me, you listen to me"
