Chapter 770: The New Territories (10,000 Supplements)
Dachang Empire, Fufeng County, New Territories Port. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was one morning, a thin sea fog drifting on the sea level in the distance, and the newly rising morning sun shone down the warm golden light, and the originally quiet port began to gradually become noisy again.
The New Territories Port was completed less than a decade ago, but because of its location in the far west of the empire, it is also a deep-water port, so business is very prosperous, and there is an endless stream of passenger ships, which brings good income to the tax collectors.
In fact, in the establishment of the Dachang Empire, even Fufeng County was a newly established county, which was obtained through annexation.
The Dachang Empire originally issued a reclamation order, announcing that all subjects of the empire could obtain 50 acres of cultivated land in Fufeng County, and those with titles increased in turn, and the taxes were reduced for the first three years, and after ten years of cultivation, the land was officially owned by the people.
This set off a round of westward expansion of the empire, and in order to stabilize Fufeng County, the Dachang Empire set up a garrison army here, with the nature of a military cantonment, because it often fought with various natives and Xiyi, even though it was not part of the regular army, but it was also a notorious force in the west of the empire.
"Is this the Port of the New Territories? It's quite lively! ā
Wu Ming was dressed in a green shirt, with a piece of fine mutton fat white jade hanging from his waist, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and the image of a good son, wandering around the streets of the port.
At this time, he naturally did not use William's appearance, but returned to his original state, with black hair and black eyes, exactly the same as most of the people around him, walking here, as if he was still in the world of the Great Zhou, which made his expression slightly trance.
Of course, because it is a port, you can often see Xiyi merchants from the sea, more mixed-race, and even terrifying-looking aliens here!
The alien race here is not just a difference in skin color, but two species that are completely different from humans!
For example, on Wu Ming's side, a big man with a strong figure but a tiger's head walked by without any scruples, just swaggering through the street.
"Orcs? No...... According to the official name of the Dachang Empire, it should be the Shanjun clan? It's a lot of fun......
This world, due to the acceptance of a large number of traversers, has already undergone many wonderful changes, and even the source of many intelligent creatures may come from another world, so Wu Ming is not surprised that anything appears.
"Human ...... Not the master of this world......"
Thinking of the news he received, Wu Ming sighed, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
The Dachang Empire is indeed vast and rich from all over the world, and even the Western countries are flourishing and dominating, but in this world, there are more intelligent races.
Some of them are natives of this world, and some are simply visitors from other universes who have migrated from the universe as a whole, and they also occupy a lot of territory in this world, presenting a situation of many races.
In this situation, both in the Eastern and Western human kingdoms, it is a martial practice, constantly encouraging the people to expand outward.
Fortunately, this world is vast enough, and there are many supplies of the New World and undeveloped wasteland, so there is no dirty quarrel between several large countries, and the fire is not solved by one game.
As the sun rises, the hustle and bustle of the entire port increases.
After getting away from the dock area, all kinds of rich shops suddenly filled Wu Ming's eyes.
Gold and silver shops, grain shops, cloth shops, teahouses and restaurants, and gambling houses...... It's got it all.
Of course, there are also some martial arts halls, sword palaces and other places, which are cultivation places at a glance, but they are just opened in this kind of downtown area, and most of them have no ability, just make hard money with one or two tricks.
If you want to really learn the true tradition, you either have excellent qualifications and worship a good master, or you have to be like Zhang Fan and take a lot of money to smash it.
"The street martial arts hall is only the lowest level, and further up, there are all kinds of school palaces! This is the school that really teaches the transcendent way, such as the Seven Swords Academy, where Zhang Fan once learned swords, is famous for producing several great masters of swordsmanship...... In Fufeng County, prestige is the first! ā
Wu Ming doesn't know much about the power system of this world, but he can be named a great grandmaster, and it should only be under the legend.
Of course, even in the Seven Swords Academy, if you want to truly obtain the true inheritance, it is not enough to rely on silver money, otherwise Zhang Fan at the beginning would not have fallen into Wu Ming's hands so easily.
If it weren't for him, Wu Ming wouldn't have decided to come to the New Territories Port to have a look.
Moreover, in addition to the various martial arts halls and school palaces in this port, there are several strange places that have attracted Wu Ming's attention.
Because the transcendent aura above those buildings is the strongest in the entire port, with a divine aura, beyond the ordinary mortal and unknown.
"Taozhu Temple?"
Walking along the spiritual light seen by the eye of the sky, Wu Ming looked at the huge shrine in front of him, as well as the bustling procession of mostly merchants, and was a little speechless.
"This is supposed to be a shrine dedicated to a true god, but is it just that business is so good?"
Wu Ming glanced outside, and saw a row of windows similar to bank counters, many merchants deposited and withdrew gold and silver, and held vouchers, and understood in seconds: "It turned out to be the otherworldly version of the bank, the god of Tao Zhu in this world, but it is really business-minded......"
There is no doubt that banking and finance have always been the most lucrative in any era, and business here has evolved to the point of using paper money.
It's just that the merchants used not paper money, but certificates for accessing gold and silver, but they really can't be real!
Because every such Jiaozi has the imprint of the divine power of the god of Tao Zhu! It is simply difficult for outsiders to imitate.
"No wonder the aura is so strong......"
Wu Ming did not enter the temple rashly, but slowly retreated.
Gathering so much wealth, the strength of the god of Tao Zhu in this world must be extraordinary, I am afraid that it is similar to himself, and he is also at the seventh level.
Moreover, people are still gods of this world, recognized by heaven, earth and people and the Chaos Force, but they are only outsiders, not to the Da Luo level, after all, there is world suppression, and if they venture into the temple of such existence, if they are discovered, it will immediately be a huge trouble.
"According to the memories of Zhang Fan and other sailors, in the New Territories Harbor, Tao Zhu and Mazu have the best incense, and there are also some sporadic gods next to it, and the initial contact is still from low to high."
In Shinto, there are naturally strong and weak.
The strong ones can be as high as the Golden Immortals and Da Luo, and the weak ones are the land of a village, the mountain gods, etc., which can be regarded as the last stream of the Shinto, and any demons and monsters can bully the Mao God.
Of course, the ordinary land and mountain gods are not qualified to be worshiped in the New Territories Port at all, and those who can survive the competition between the two temples are at least one righteous god, similar to the legendary realm in Shinto.
From Wu Ming's point of view, it is the fifth level of Shinto.
He sits in the main temple, understands the use of the Force, and coordinates the avenues of thousands of worlds under the Force, and immediately distinguishes between them, and can be divided into levels by luck.
The fifth level of Shinto, which is not up or down in Shinto, although it is not a true god according to the standards of this world, it is only one step away.
Wu Ming took one last look at the bustling Taozhu Temple, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
ā¦ā¦
"Four Seas Firm, this is it, right?"
He searched in the port for a long time, and finally found a trading house in the corner.
It is said that it is a commercial house, but it is too high-minded, and it looks like a small shop, and you can clearly see the inside of the store from the outside of the door.
It's just that the curtains and doors on the outside are wiped extremely clean, and it is obvious that the people who take care of them are very capable.
"This guest officer, please!"
As soon as Wu Ming stepped into the store, the sharp-eyed guy immediately noticed it, and stepped forward with a flattering smile: "I don't know what I want to buy?" We have it all! ā
Judging from the dress alone, you know that Wu Ming is either rich or expensive at this time, how could this guy miss a big business?
"I'm not a seller, I'm looking for your shopkeeper!"
Wu Ming shook his head.
"Shopkeeper? Okay, you wait a minute......"
Perhaps because of Wu Ming's temperament, although this guy was a little confused, he didn't dare to slack off and transferred to the inner hall.
Not long after, an old man with a long beard hanging down his chest, dark skin, and a thin appearance walked out and saluted Wu Ming: "Old decay to add to it, the shopkeeper of this shop, I don't know what the guests are here for?" ā
"Entrusted by someone, send something!"
Wu Ming took out a letter: "Corporal Zhang Fan, it's your proprietor, right?" ā
"Exactly ......"
The old man was shocked: "Calculate the time, you should come back to sea at this time, could it be ......"
As he spoke, a cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
The oceans of this world are far more dangerous than Wu Ming's previous life, after all, some ancient-level sea monsters and demonic beasts, even if the gods are facing each other, they will be terrified.
Some of them can't even be killed at all, so they can only choose to seal.
In this era like this, when you go to sea to run a business route, you naturally earn money from selling your life.
The shopkeeper has seen too much and ventured to sea, and since then there has been no news, or simply the news of the shipwreck and death.
"I just met Corporal Zhang at sea, and then I encountered a big storm, and I really don't know where he is now!"
In fact, Zhang Fan is now in the prison of the Thor Kingdom.
And Wu Ming unceremoniously used some means on him, got his handwritten letter, and prepared to use it as a springboard to gain a new identity and start his travels in the Dachang Empire.
In a world, you have to obey the rules of a world.
With his current strength, even if the main temple is exhausted, I am afraid that he will not be able to help the eight main gods.
In this case, it is natural that we should keep our heads open and follow the rules of the game.
Using this as a starting point, obtaining a reasonable and legal identity is a bit cumbersome, but it is very safe, and it is not easy to be traced.
"This is your proprietor's handwriting, take a look!"
Wu Ming handed over the letter with a big grin, and he was drinking tea on the ground with the old god on the side.
And Xiang Zhitian looked at it, but his face was relaxed for a while, and solemn for a while, as if he had encountered some great difficulty.
