Chapter 82 - No last resort

At the beginning of June, the weather was getting hotter, even in the northern part of the Nether Heaven Domain, and the clothes of the pedestrians in the city began to lighten. In the past few days, Hanqi City has been particularly lively, many foreign monks have come here to hunt for treasures, and the major hotels and inns in the city are overcrowded for a while, and even monks with weapons can be seen on the street on the street.

Originally, the residents of the city were a little panicked when they saw this kind of scene, and in the past, these monks might have swords against each other if they didn't say a word, and blood would be splattered five steps at every turn. But after a few days, the people in Hanqi City found that these monks were extremely restrained, and even the money given for food and accommodation was only a lot more, and there was no arrogance of "I eat you for nothing is your luck" in the past. In the past two days, the inns and restaurants in the city have made a lot of money, and the people in the city certainly know who to thank for this.

Just a few days ago, there was a sudden announcement at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, with an official notice in black on a red background announcing some information about the movement of the beast tide to the monks who poured into the city, but the language was unknown, and it was explained in the notice that if there was no bad record in the city for more than three days, they could enter the City Lord's Mansion to get a detailed information, and those who had been in the city for more than seven days could get an important clue about the strange treasure. But on the contrary, if the city lord's mansion receives a report that there are monks who oppress the people in the city, then they will be expelled from the city, and no information about the strange treasure will be given, and other monks will be strictly prohibited from sharing information with them.

The monks who poured in from all over the country were not stupid, it was better to restrain themselves than to be expelled, and it was easy to do it with a restrained temperament, and they didn't have to pay anything, they might be uncomfortable, but they could exchange for some important information about the treasure, so of course they had to do a profitable deal. As for sharing information with the expelled ones? Come on, these monks wish there were fewer competitors and more opportunities to get treasures.

As a result, there was an extreme peace and prosperity in Hanqi City that had not been seen for hundreds of years, especially when a monk inadvertently saved a person who had fallen into the water and directly obtained a clue about the strange treasure, all the monks in Hanqi City became a moral model of righteousness and self-sacrifice. Originally, the security of Hanqi City was good, and there were almost no incidents of committing adultery, but petty theft was repeatedly prohibited. Since this announcement was issued, ninety percent of the pickpockets in the city have been caught in the Hanqi City prison within three days, after all, compared with the monks who are eager to make meritorious contributions, these are just ordinary people's pickpockets, and their deeds are still too shallow.

Yang Ting sat on a Taishi chair in the study of the City Lord's Mansion at this time, took a sip of tea gently, and looked out from the carved window, only to see an endless stream of monks going to the council hall from the door, she couldn't help sighing, and asked Xin Zicao who was waiting next to her in a strange tone: "How many people have come to get information today?"

Xin Zicao replied: "Today to half an hour ago, a total of one hundred and thirty-three people have received it, and in the past five days, a total of 1,481 people have come to collect it, excluding some who have contributed to public security or people's livelihood, there are probably more than 1,100 people." ”

"That is to say, nearly 200 monks come to receive information every day, more than 1,000 monks have been in the city for three days, and even more than 300 monks have contributed to the people's livelihood and law and order in Hanqi City!" Yang Ting glanced at the council hall with some admiration, she didn't expect that under Chen Yuan's operation, a large number of monks poured into Hanqi City not only did not bring any negative impact to Hanqi City, but even in the past few days, Hanqi City has reached the peak of a hundred years in terms of economic development and people's livelihood and security, and in a trance she remembered the conversation between several people in the council hall a few days ago.

In the conference hall, Xin Luanhua frowned and said: "Your idea is good, but without a specific implementation method, it is equivalent to a chicken rib, and none of us can control the direction of this matter." ”

Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Since I have proposed this idea, of course there is an implementation plan to match it. Well, I'll tell you about it.

As I said, we need to make the most of our strengths, and I think I've made it clear that our biggest advantage is that we have detailed information about the Hanqi Mountains.

This advantage is the biggest reliance we have on the side of the alien beasts, and we can do something about it. First of all, when it comes to intelligence gathering, we are clearly number one on the human side, with the most and most detailed information. The second is the other two main cities, they have their own intelligence networks, of course, it is impossible to compare with what we know, but the information obtained is definitely much more than the scattered cultivators who poured into the city.

First of all, we can use intelligence as a bargaining chip to restrain the scattered cultivation in the city, release the news, we can provide them with information about the treasure, but the premise is to keep ourselves in the city, not to destroy the security in the city, and after holding on for a period of time, you can come to the city lord's mansion to receive information. ”

"You also said that thorough intelligence is our greatest advantage, if we share it, won't our advantage be gone?" Chen Yuan said this, Xin Zicao asked questions, Zhang Ling'er and Feng Sanqi also looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously, obviously they also thought the same. However, Yang Ting and Xin Luanhua listened to Chen Yuan's words, but they fell into deep thought.

Chen Yuan looked at everyone's reactions, and explained: "Of course, this plan can't give away our advantages, you know, since the amount of information is not equal, it means that neither the other two main cities nor the scattered cultivation side know how detailed the information in our hands is."

We can share some information that is not very important, such as the Hanqi Mountain Range has an enchantment, the stronger the power of the enchantment rebound, the stronger the cultivation, what cultivation is needed to enter, and so on. Even if we don't publish this information, everyone will know it after a few days of groping in the Hanqi Mountain Range, it is better to use it to restrain the monks in the city when the information is not equal, you know, when it comes to their own interests, these monks are definitely more obedient than one another. ”

Yang Ting nodded, she had roughly understood Chen Yuan's plan, the feasibility was very high, but she was still a little worried, she thought of a question: "This method is good, but if we publish this information to the first batch of people, it is difficult for these people to guarantee that they will not be leaked to others, which will inevitably weaken the binding force of information trading, once it loses its binding force, the city will still be chaotic." ”

This time Chen Yuan didn't open his mouth to explain, Xin Luanhua had already opened his mouth to explain to Yang Ting for him: "City Lord, you still underestimate the selfishness of people's hearts. It's like having an apple when we can all eat and of course we can all share it. But if we all starve to death, and we only have one apple, if you get it in your hands, will it be distributed to a few people we don't know? Of course not! In the same way, the first monks to get the information have the upper hand, and it is impossible for them to give the information they have obtained to others in vain unless they pay some price.

And if you want to get information, you can get it through the City Lord's Mansion without paying any price, so the first people to get information don't have a market to sell information at all. If a free product is placed in front of you, and all you pay is to wait for an extra day, who will pay the price to buy the same product. ”

Chen Yuan took Xin Luanhua's words and continued: "That's right, we don't need to worry about intelligence leakage at all, because except for us, no one is willing to share the information that has already been obtained. Spreading such information will saturate in a week or so, which means that after a week, almost all the monks who come to hunt for treasure will have a copy.

This was the first step in the plan, and a week later the fifteenth was not far away. In my estimation, the basic information that flowed out of our hands was not much different from that gathered in the other two main cities. When we disseminate a large amount of information, it is equivalent to turning to the information advantage they have built through their own intelligence network into nothing, and while they are depressed, they can only come to us for cooperation, after all, we are the hosts, and we must know more things than these foreign forces.

Once they choose to seek our help, then we will be in the driver's seat in this cooperation. Winning over allies is the second step, and we must remember that the most critical information is that the strength of the 15th Barrier has weakened, and this news must be told to them on the 15th, so as to ensure that the two main city forces do not leave us alone to act.

Also, don't tell any of the forces that Fei Lian is an ally. Don't disclose the specific strength of the three-headed beast in the Hanqi Mountain Range. On the fifteenth, let the other forces go to fight to the death first, expel the three alien beasts for us, and we will sit in the back to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and when they are almost done, we will help Feilian a little bit, so that it can get a strange treasure and run away. In this way, the strange treasure is not in our hands, these monks will inevitably leave in pursuit of Fei Lian, and Hanqi City will return to calm, and there will be no longer the threat of the beast tide.

It is impossible to say that everyone here has no idea about the strange treasure of the Hanqi Mountain Range, but the top priority at the moment is to solve the problem of the beast tide, and we can trace Fei Lian's traces afterwards, but in the face of the current situation, I think it is better to let Fei Lian take the treasure away. Otherwise, Hanqi City will not be able to become a land of right and wrong. ”

A few days have passed, and Chen Yuan's words at that time are still in his ears, and the situation in Hanqi City is exactly the same as his analysis. For this wise and almost demonic child, Yang Ting felt a trace of admiration from the bottom of her heart for no reason.

"The city lord, the people of Frost Remnant City and Buming City have come to visit. An attendant stood outside the study and reported to Yang Tingyu. "Okay, I see, take them to the council chamber, and I'll be there. Yang Ting commanded, got up and put the teacup on the table, her eyes flashing with a strange light.

Yang Ting still remembered that Chen Yuan told her at the beginning of the plan that the people of the two main cities would not last for a few days without intelligence advantages, and would come to the mansion to visit and seek cooperation in five days at most. At this time, Yang Ting came to the conference hall, looked at Chen Yuan, who was presiding over the collection of information, and saw that he was not surprised by the arrival of the envoys of the two main cities, Yang Ting understood what it meant to be a last resort!
