Volume 3 The Stars Hold the Moon, I Walk Alone Section 20 A Piece of the Pie

Weicheng has the saying of "one city, two ports, five lanes, six streets, and twenty-four bridges", the city is the inner city, also known as Zhongwei Street, and the two ports are Weigang and East Chu Shuishi Port. The five squares refer to "Kurenfang, Yuguanfang, Dinghufang, Chaojiang and Guantangfang", and the six streets refer to "Chendi Street, Guiniao Street, Shangwei Street, Xiawei Street, Youling Street and Candlewillow Street".

Shangwei Street is lined with official offices and many shops, and it is the most lively place in Weicheng during the day, but the real livable and hidden prosperity are Dinghufang, Chaojiangfang and Guantangfang. Folklore has it that Weidi was not as big as it is today, and its original area is the total area of Dinghu, Chaojiang and Guantang.

There is really a lake in Dinghu Fang, this lake forms a three-legged tripod so it is called "Dinghu", the house of Dinghu Fang is built around the lake, and various functions are built on the lake, and the bridge across the lake shore of different heights is built.

Dinghu, like the other two squares, is very xenophobic, which includes the citizens of Weicheng, that is, those who are not rich in heritage cannot live in, so the population of Dinghu is about 20,000, but it occupies one-tenth of the area of Weicheng. The other two squares are also small and wide, and the three squares together are three-tenths of the area of Weicheng.

If Shangwei Street is the new upstart of Weicheng, then the three squares are the old Weicheng nobles, the people who live in these three squares are not necessarily rich or expensive, but each family must have a thousand years of heritage, and the children do not say that everyone is an official and an official, but they all have a skill. Between the three squares due to historical reasons to help each other, although there is a square door outside, the inside is interconnected, has long been connected into a piece, so it is often called "Chaoding Guanfang".

Wei Di was the first Wei family, Wei later evolved into the Wei surname, the biggest brand in the Chaoding Fang is the Wei family, Wei Linxian is the well-known Wei family Qiliner, the eighty-year-old old lady of the Wei family said it herself. Wei Linxian also lived up to the old lady's boast, he was already a six-ladder Xuan Xiu at the age of twenty, and he was martial arts, blowing a fresh breeze into the old Wei family.

The location of Wei Lou is excellent, overlooking Dinghu Lake and Weijiang River, and can also include the main street of Sanfang into the field of vision, the old lady of the Wei family will attribute this building to the name of Wei Linxian, not only the Wei family is red and resentful, but the rest of the children in the Dingguan Fang are also envious.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Wei Linxian, who is envious and jealous, has never been open, although the Wei family values him, he also has to obey the old shackles of the Wei family. The Wei family does have a long history, but in the changes of the times, it has repeatedly made mistakes, resulting in the Wei family's assets shrinking, and Wei Linxian has not received much cultivation resources because of this.

He was able to climb to the sixth ladder because of the assistance of himself and many small friends, and the Wei family only played the role of a "skin" in the process of his cultivation. But this effect is also quite big, it is precisely because of the skin of the Wei family's Qilin'er that many cases in Weicheng have become headless unsolved cases.

The decline of the Wei family, outsiders don't know, Wei Linxian can therefore explain why he was able to climb to the sixth echelon, compared to many players who are still cultivating in secret, he was in the Chu Shisi when he was in the ninth echelon, and then entered the official career. The yamen that Wei Linxian wanted to get into the most was not Chu Shisi, but Weicheng Mansion, which was the core of Weicheng's military and political affairs, and he could get access to a lot of information when he entered Weicheng Mansion.

Wei Linxian learned about the expansion plan of Xia Wei Street by chance, and after he knew about it, he sent his friends to Xia Wei Street to vent his style, attracting a large number of players, and then asked his friends to propose to form a "Wei Group" and recommend a player who was not his own team to be the leader. When the fruit is almost ripe, kick out the leader, nominate his own people on the horse, and then integrate those players to form a grassroots force.

The number of players in the Wei group is nearly 1,000, and these nearly 1,000 players, Wei Linxian investigated and filed them one by one, and then divided them into one, two, three, and then sent people to approach, communicate, and when the time came, he sucked them into the "Wei Bureaucracy" organization he formed. Wei Gongzi is Wei Linxian's external name, just like Hu Shandiao has a real identity Hu Dadiao, Wei Gongzi is also a real household registration.

The players of "Weituan" do not know that they have been sucked into an organization, and their goal is to "make money", and in order to "make money", they will actively or passively inquire about some information in their industry or yamen. Eventually, this information will be collected into the "Wei Bureaucracy" organization, and then analyzed and summarized to find out what is useful and use or sell it.

There were only seven core members of Wei Wing, including Wei Linxian, Qu Shiying was one of them, and the other five also entered the Weicheng Division with the help of Wei Linxian. The Weicheng Si Ya said that it is easy to enter, and it is difficult to enter if it is difficult to enter, and it is easy to enter if it is a servant, but it is more difficult to enter the formal department, but fortunately, the Wei family has sufficient connections, and six people are still capable.

The assassination of Li Hongjie is something that Wei Linxian has been very proud of recently, but unfortunately he can only blow to each other with his little friend "Moko" who carried out the assassination operation, this secret cannot be known to a third party, even if Qu Shiying and others ask, they will not reveal it.

Behind the assassination involved an elder of the Taiyi Sect, this elder has actually been missing for thirty years, but he doesn't want to be recognized by him after a chance encounter in the game, after a question and answer to determine the direct blood relationship between the two, the elder gave him some cultivation resources and contact information that can only be used in emergencies.

If you say that there is no doubt, it is false, the elder was in his fifties thirty years ago, and now he is in his eighties, but he can't see it at all in the game. The game doesn't have any beautifying function, and the age limit is only 16 years old, but the upper limit is not explicitly specified, but I haven't heard of people over 60 years old entering the game.

In fact, there are a lot of strange things, just take the real world's countries in the "where is sacred" this game is not scientific, virtual games are awesome is games, games can create some economic value but cannot become economic pillars. The whole world is going to play games, and the whole world is not far from starving.

However, some information about this game in various countries is clearly priced, such as the 321 ladder profession of a certain Xuanjing, such as the evolution of spells, the detailed effects of magic weapons, etc., and there are a large number of information needs for the geography of the mountains and rivers of Chu State. If you can submit a verifiable answer, it is not false to get rich overnight, and there are factual examples.

It is precisely because the real countries attach unscientific importance to the game that Wei Linxian will give up some important things in reality and invite six friends in reality to join the game together. Although he entered two months later than the earliest entrant, Wei Linxian was lucky, he was born in the "Wei family" of the old nobles in Weicheng.

"I don't know if Uncle Wei Li will blame me after hearing about Li Hongjie's death", Wei Linxian looked at Dinghu not far in front of him and muttered to himself.

Uncle Wei Li is the real elder in the Taiyi Sect, but the ladder only has "nine", but Wei Linxian can clearly perceive that once he makes a move, he will be killed in seconds. This kind of perception is very strange, Wei Linxian didn't hide it and said it directly, but Uncle Wei Li had an indescribable expression, asking him to step up his cultivation, and it was best to travel around.

Wei Linxian spent several months secretly abducting and being promoted to the sixth ladder, just because he wanted to have a stronger ability to protect himself when he traveled, and in addition, he also wanted to accumulate a fortune before traveling, so that he could buy good things when he saw them during his travels. After all, if he leaves Weicheng, it is not safe for him to continue to steal, the Wei family is a protector/umbrella in Weicheng, and if he leaves Weicheng, the Wei family is a fart.

"The expansion of Xiawei Street has finally been decided."

It is also a coincidence that Li Hongjie hit the street less than a day before the Weicheng Prefecture's "Weigang Exploration Policy" was decided, which belongs to the local government's own construction, and once the local government has made a decision, it can be carried out independently without requiring financial support from the royal capital.

The Weicheng government is not short of funds, and the development of Weigang is not carried out recently, although the policy has not been decided, the preliminary work has been carried out intermittently a few years ago, and now, the preliminary work that should be done has been completed, so once the policy is decided, it will start immediately.

The Weigang expansion strategy includes roads, ship spaces, warehouses, etc., and tens of thousands of houses will be demolished on the road alone, while the area near Weigang will be completely demolished to prepare for the expansion of the port and warehouses. Wei Linxian has not seen the specifics of the "Weigang Pioneering Strategy", but he also got the news of his Wei family's unicorn and his performance in Weicheng Mansion.

Weigang itself is a treasure-level port, not based on throughput, only that the number of ships that can enter and exit every day is hundreds or thousands, and they are all large ships about several zhang high. Therefore, the main funds for the expansion of Weigang are spent on treasure-level materials, with a budget of 10 million yuan, and the proportion of demolition funds in Weigang is not large.

Weicheng's annual income is more than one million yuan, and this investment is Weicheng's savings for more than ten years. Of course, it is impossible to pay for all Yuan Crystals, and there are not so many Yuan Crystals in Weicheng, most of them are paid in kind, so Wei Linxian and the others will not want to get too many Yuan Crystal coins.

Although the proportion of demolition money is not large, it is equivalent to four or five hundred thousand yuan, even if the materials replace most of it, Yuanjing will not be less than 200,000. And the deed bought by Wei Linxian and others is within the scope of demolition, and the nail household doesn't want to be it, unless it is very hard, but is there a person with a very hard background in Xia Wei Street? If there is, it will inevitably have bad intentions, and Weicheng Mansion does not eat the horizontal line.

Wei Linxian also worked as an official in Weicheng Mansion for two or three months, and he knew very well some of the methods of Weicheng Mansion, he was not ready to be a nail household, count the deed on hand, according to the standard given by Weicheng Mansion, he could earn a minimum profit of 100,000 yuan, and this cut the profit of materials.

When Wei Linxian lamented that the demolition was indeed the road to prosperity, Hu Shandiao was also wondering if he could get a piece of the Weigang expansion. There is no need to think about the demolition money, it is too late to come up, and when you enter the site at this time, the appearance is too ugly, how to say that it is also the acting captain, and the appearance is so ugly, it will be despised by colleagues in Weicheng.

Hu Shandiao's idea is to "sell goods", he has a wooden cave, the old wood must not agree with this statement, but what can it do? It's not that I watched Hu Shandiao transport away a large number of treasure-level materials. The construction of Weigang is made of treasure-level materials, Hu Shandiao does not say that it is all-inclusive, but only covers an area, and there are tens of millions of dollars to earn it, and he has no capital to buy.

Weicheng is not without people who buy and sell cultivation resources, they are basically the family members of Xuan Xiu, they have a source of goods and reputation, even if they encounter wind and waves, they can survive it. If Hu Shandiao wants a piece of the pie, Weicheng Mansion Xiang Xiong Xiao has no opinion, but if he wants to take a share of the amount, he can't.

After deducting the compensation for green demolition, manpower and other payments, Weigang has a project budget of 8 million, and the real Yuanjing pays only 3 million, and the rest is subsidized by means of tax discounts, tea introductions, salt introductions, etc. If Hu Shandiao is willing, he can use this money to buy Beibi Gongfeng, anyway, Bigong Peak and Zhijun Mountain only belong to Weicheng in name, but in fact they are in the hands of the "Minren".

Hu Shandiao is moved in his heart, the surface area where the Dimu Cave is located is quite large, if you buy that place, according to Chu Law, even if there is a Yuanjing mine below, it also belongs to Hu Shandiao. Of course, whether it can be kept or not, the state of Chu does not care, the state of Chu only recognizes the right of ownership and does not provide protection.

Weicheng does not have a detailed map of the Bigong and Zhijun mountain ranges, but with the existence of spaceships, it can still draw a relatively clear context through aerial overview, and then send people to infiltrate to inquire about the names of various places. Kyushu is quite persistent about place names, and if you don't know, you don't know, and it's absolutely not okay to name them indiscriminately.

Even if Xiong Xiao was afraid of Liao Longji and agreed to Hu Shandiao's share of the pie, it would be impossible for him to bargain with Hu Shandiao in person, and he could meet and negotiate with Hu Shandiao, also because Hu Shandiao is now the captain of Eagle Claw and one of the important figures in Weicheng's official face. Therefore, after instructing his subordinates, Xiong Xiao threw up his sleeves and left, and Hu Shandiao argued with the officials of the "Water Port Division".

Chu has a long coastline, most places are natural harbors, and the king of Chu is taking the path of the king of the Chu River, and the water transport technology of Chu is developing extremely rapidly, in comparison, the indicators of land are quite low. The Water Port Division is a large proportion of the Chu State Government Division, responsible for ships, ports and other businesses, and belongs to the Tongyi Division.

The Tongyi Division is responsible for taxation, commercial operations and other functions, and the port of Chu is an important source of tax revenue, so it is necessary for the Water Port Division to conceal income, otherwise, where can a small treasury be built? Tongyi Si sent a large number of men and horses to guard the port, and the two sides would be surprised by the officialdom of Chu if they did not fight a few times a day.

The area of the Pechanaburi Palace Peak where the Dimu Cave is located is called "Xiangshan Peak", and Hu Shandiao only needs to buy this peak to have the entire Dimu Cave. Because the sale was not the land he occupied, and Hu Shandiao said that he could solve some private matters of the negotiators of the Water and Port Division, in the end, Xiangjifeng sold it to Hu Shandiao for 10,000 yuan.

If it is said that it is cheap, it is really cheap, and if it is expensive, it is also expensive, because Xiangshan Peak is there, and before it was bought by Hu Shandiao, anyone can go, even if there are resources, it is estimated that it has already been dug up. Business without cash is very casual to talk about, and tens of thousands of yuan is a number.

But the contract signed in black and white was not arbitrary, once Hu Shandiao breached the contract, Xiong Xiao would unceremoniously raise Chu Lu to punish him.

The cave spirit "Old Motou" of the Dimu Cave welcomed Hu Shandiao as a guest, and immediately turned his face after learning about the intention, but it couldn't beat Hu Shandiao, so he could only roar again and again.

Hu Shandiao reluctantly took out his only remaining 170 yuan crystals, yuan crystals also have denominations, one point is the lowest, 100 is the highest, Hu Shandiao deliberately replaced all of them with one cent of yuan crystal, and put them in the bag ringing Ding Dang.

The old ink head is a house spirit, although there is the inheritance of Da Luo Jin Xian but lack of knowledge, Yuan Jing coin is heard of, see the real thing or the first time, gnaw a point into the mouth, the taste is delicious, the old ink head suddenly no longer complained about Hu Shandiao, very cherished the money bag hidden, and then joined the handling.

The old Motou is the real master of the Ground Wood Cave, it knows the Earth Wood Cave well, and in this special and closed environment, it can cast many auxiliary spells. Attack spells are seriously lacking, otherwise, they will not be able to defeat Hu Shandiao. Of course, if you really want to tear up life and death, Lao Motou is not without powerful means.

With the help of some ground snakes, Hu Shandiao does not need to run in the wooden cave, but only needs to carry the materials thrown by the old ink head and move them to the silver mist. The area of Yinbi Peak and Yuqing Peak is enough to hold these goods, while the Dimu Cave only produces treasure trees, treasure soil and treasure medicine, and the contract signed by Hu Shandiao only has treasure wood and treasure soil.

The method of Weigang expansion is not much different from that of Hushan Diao's construction of "Win Gouguan", after arriving at the designated location, the construction drawings will be activated, and then the relevant materials will be filled according to the drawings. The construction speed is extremely fast, but the upfront work is very large and time-consuming.

The construction drawings are preceded by "architectural drawings", which can also be called design drawings, which are divided into dozens and hundreds of copies and completed by hundreds of craftsmen with high skill levels from all walks of life. After these design drawings are confirmed, Xuan Xiu takes over the rubbing of them on the seal paper, and then refines, refining is a certain failure rate, once it fails, it is necessary to repeat the previous rubbing.

After successful refining, there are construction drawings, a large number of design drawings are combined into one, and the level of the drawings determines the potential of the building.

Obviously, the Weicheng Mansion didn't want to refine the "spirit weapon" level construction blueprints, but at the same time, it was also happy that it could only build a treasure-level Weigang first, and it was impossible to build a spirit weapon-level. Even if it is a "technique" level, Weicheng Mansion does not have financial and technical support, so it can only build a treasure-level port first.

Hu Shandiao was able to take over the business of Baomu and Baotu because his arrival time was short, and if it was a long time, he might not be qualified to participate.

The condition for carrying items to the silver mist is to "lift it", and Hu Shandiao's 80 yuan power reserves make him infinitely powerful, but he also only has one pair of hands, and he must gather a large number of treasure trees or treasure soil into a pile to increase the efficiency of handling. Even the first echelon Xuan Xiu can't reach the level of Bigu, but he won't die if he starves for ten days and a half months, but once he is hungry, he will be weak and powerless if he has a body of Yuan Force.

The warehouse in Weigang was very tight, and Hu Shandiao took some steps to rent a medium-sized warehouse, which was enough for Hu Shandiao to unload the goods, and the time was mainly spent on the round-trip between Weicheng and Xiangshan Peak. For this reason, Hu Shandiao had to rent a "spaceship" to save time, he is now the leader of the Eagle Claw Division, there is no problem if he is not in the Eagle Claw Division, but if he leaves Weicheng for too long, it will violate the law of Chu.
