Chapter 450: Wuping City
After succeeding her granddaughter, Granny Zhang did not stop there, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, she asked the officials to give her a testimony that she would completely sever relations with the Wang family and never communicate with each other in the future.
In this way, he put another layer of protection on himself, leaving no chance or excuse for Wang Xiaogang and his son.
After returning home, under the witness of the elders of the Zhou family, the succession ceremony was carried out.
From then on, Zhou Dahua was the Zhou family and had nothing to do with the Wang family.
After handling the matter and leaving some silver for Granny Zhang, Xue Langjing and the two left on the morning of the fourth day of the new year.
Longyan County is not far from Wuping City, even if you add the time delayed by hunting, it is about five or six days away.
The closer you get to Wuping City, the stronger the atmosphere of martial arts among the people, and the capable people can be seen everywhere, and they are no longer rare characters.
Correspondingly, the number of women with female abilities has also increased greatly, and the number of women dressed like Xue Langjing has gradually increased.
With the increase in the number of strong women, the local atmosphere will naturally be more open, not to mention that there are many more women walking on the road than in other cities, and even the proportion of women in the stalls and vendors is not low.
Back to Xue Langjing and the two.
Now she can say that she can't do without animal meat for three meals a day, and every two days she will go hunting in the wild forest, and then take the meat to the chef to cook it, so that it will become delicious and energy-rich animal meat.
The two of them walked and stopped all the way, and finally arrived at Wuping City at noon on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
Coming to the holy land of the legendary powerhouse, Xue Langjing said in his heart that he was not excited, it must be fake.
When I really got here, I realized that Wuping City was completely different from the usual city.
What's the difference?
Listen to me slowly.
In other words, the entire Great Chu is divided into fifteen provinces, and the Wuping Mansion where Wuping City is located belongs to Neiguan Dao.
Neiguan Road borders Xiguan Dao, and Xiguan Dao is further west to the Wei State.
At the beginning of the establishment of Great Chu, Wuping Mansion was a very ordinary mansion.
The only special feature is probably that the south side of Muhei Mansion is close to the Higashikamino Forest.
As mentioned above, in the early period of Great Chu, and even in the previous dynasty, the people were very in awe of the Dongshen Yelin, especially the former dynasty where the ability had just appeared.
There are many prefectures and counties close to the East Kamino Forest, and there is no worse than Wuping Mansion.
Until one day, an amazing figure appeared in Wuping Mansion.
That is the founder of Zheng's firm - Zheng Wen.
She was born in the Higashijin Wild Forest here.
After she made a name for herself and became famous, a large number of capable people flocked to the wild forest that she had already explored, which they thought was safer.
With the construction of a large number of capable people and the consequent influx of merchant gates, the martial arts power in Wuping City continued to expand, and commerce continued to develop, and then gradually spread to most of Wuping Mansion.
Such a change is a good thing for the people, but it is difficult to say for the imperial court.
A government close to the Wei State, its martial arts power and commerce are strong at the same time, and even have a faint tendency to surpass the national capital, which is definitely a big threat to the imperial court.
Therefore, the imperial court sent a large number of troops to be stationed here, making it one of the important military places of Great Chu.
It's just that the imperial court still underestimates the power of the capable, or the power of the capable.
Even if they continue to send troops to garrison, they still can't suppress this civil force. Dream Island Library
Well, it's a private force, but in fact, at least half of them are the power of the ten major families.
Because, when a large number of capable people poured into this place, the ten major families who first discovered the business opportunity sent people into this place almost at the same time.
At that time, when the imperial court found that it could not suppress them, it decided to suppress them by force, but unfortunately, several suppressions were fruitless.
And the imperial court can't transfer all its troops to this side, so it can only watch this 'civil force' become stronger and stronger.
After this force was able to stand up to the army stationed here, a group of capable people formed an alliance of capable people.
In the end, the Alliance of the Capable chose to cooperate with the Ten Families, who came forward to put pressure on the imperial court, giving Wuping Mansion absolute autonomy.
Since then, Wuping Mansion has been the ten major families and capable people 'ruling the world together'.
To be precise, the martial arts power of Wuping Mansion is controlled by the Alliance of Capable Ones.
Specifically, it is managed by the City Lord's Mansion launched by the Alliance of the Able, and this is the case in the main city of Wuping City, as well as several surrounding counties.
And the Taishou sent by the imperial court, as well as the county orders of the counties below, are almost useless, and the biggest role is probably to manage the trivial matters between ordinary people, to put it bluntly, it is for the city lord's mansion.
All commercial forces are controlled by the ten major families, except for the grains, fruits, vegetables and medicinal materials controlled by the Zheng family, after all, this is the birthplace of their family.
In other words, all the resources sent out by Wuping Mansion were monopolized by the Ten Great Families and the Zheng family.
Moreover, at least half of the high-level members of the Alliance of the Capable are from the top ten families.
But it's normal to think about it.
The ten major families have monopolized these many resources, and even if the ability of their family is poor, after feeding so many resources, they can also feed a lot of strong people, plus those who are attracted by their power and rely on their ability.
One can imagine how much weight they will have in the Alliance of the Able.
All those who have the ability to enter Wuping Mansion must go to the Alliance of Capable People to register, and the Alliance will issue their exclusive hunter certificates, and those who are capable can only enter the East Shenye Forest with the hunter certificate issued by the Alliance.
In other words, the hunter's license issued by the imperial court is invalid here.
Hunters can travel alone or join a hunting party.
Whether it is a hunting team or a hunter, you can go directly to hunt or take on the tasks issued by the Alliance of Capable Ones to get the corresponding reward.
These were all inquired by Xue Langjing from the mouths of the people of Wuping City.
By the way, unlike other places, the people here are almost not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, after all, the people sent by the imperial court are only for them.
Therefore, they have no fear of the Great Chu Imperial Court at all, they should talk about it, they should scold, and others can't do anything to them, but they can make Lin Yuwen angry.
But what people say is not unreasonable, and she is not a princess now, so she doesn't even have a reason to have a seizure, so she can only sulk secretly.
That expression made Xue Langjing secretly happy in his heart.
Okay, after inquiring about this, it's time to inquire about the Wind Spirit Hunting Team.
The letter said that the Wind Spirit Hunting Team was stationed in Wuping City, which also saved her time to go to the affiliated city to inquire.
But Lin Chu gave her extremely limited information, only giving a hunting team name, as well as the captain's name - Xiang Lingyun, and a letter to this captain, that's all.
She had to inquire about the rest.
As a result, this inquiry, well, it turned out that there were hundreds of large and small hunting teams in Wuping City.
Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?
