Chapter 385: Xia Yan's Arrival
For a family, without commercial support, it is fatal. [Full text reading]
Some of the towns below have estates where the family grows plants, produces some necessary food, etc., but this does not support a family operation. Without commercial support, a family is bound to decline.
And now the situation of the Xia family is even more on fire, and the Xi family is now bound to destroy the Xia family!
In the council hall, Patriarch Xia Feilong and several elders had been sitting from morning to night, but they still hadn't come up with a feasible solution. The current situation is that there is not enough financial support, and everything is empty talk.
"Patriarch, maybe only Xia Yan can get our Xia family out of the predicament!"
Third Elder Xia Changhe's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up from his seat, looked around at the elders present, and then turned his gaze to Patriarch Xia Feilong and said.
"Xia Yan?" Xia Feilong's body shook slightly, and his eyes flashed.
Xia Yan is the most promising child of the Xia family now, not only successfully entering the Purple Leaf Academy to cultivate, but also successfully emerging in the Purple Leaf Academy, and becoming the disciple of the Dean of the Purple Leaf Academy.
A few years ago, Xia Yan also represented Purple Leaf College to participate in the exchange meeting of mainland colleges.
Although a family like the Xia family was not familiar with the academy exchange meeting, the patriarch Xia Feilong and several elders obviously knew about the academy exchange meeting.
"However, Xia Yan doesn't know where he is now, how can we find him?" Xia Feilong frowned and shook his head.
"Even if we find Xia Yan back now, I'm afraid we can only deter the Xi family by force. Xia Yan, it is difficult to revitalize the family business!" said Great Elder Xia Lai hesitantly.
"No matter what, Xia Yan is here, the Xi family doesn't dare to be so arrogant!" Xia Changhe said.
"Send someone to Purple Leaf City to try!" Xia Feilong nodded, "Perhaps, a few of Xia Yan's friends can also provide some Xia Yan's whereabouts!"
What Xia Feilong said was naturally the vernacular and Bai Rui.
.................................................................. There is a side hall in the courtyard attached to the Xi family!
"Mr. Lu, this Xia family can't hold out for a few days! Now there are almost no people in their North District Fang City. More than half of the shops are closed. Xi Potian, the patriarch of the Xi family, was speaking to a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with a humble smile on his face.
That Mr. Lu nodded, his eyes condensed, and his gaze looked out through the main entrance, "Patriarch Xi Potian!"
"This time to deal with the Xia family, we have an agreement that after the Xia family is expelled from Yushui City, thirty percent of the profits of all the Xi family's industries are ours!" That Mr. Lu suddenly turned his gaze to Xi Potian, his sharp gaze was palpitating.
Xi Potian immediately said, "Of course, if we can bring down the Xia family this time, our Xi family is the largest family in Yushui City." In the future, if you control 90% of the industries and businesses in Yushui City, then Wang Yue of the Wang family will also stand aside. ”
"This Wang Yue, who doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, even temporarily withdrew from the alliance with us!" Xi Potian's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will let him know what it means to regret." When the time comes, even if he kneels on the ground and begs me, I will not agree to cooperate with him. ”
"Patriarch Xi Potian, in your opinion, will the Xia family still have any hole cards that have not been used?" Mr. Lu asked with a frown.
"Hole cards?" Xi Potian was stunned.
"Hahaha...... Mr. Lu, you are too worried, my Xi family and the Xia family have been fighting for so many years, who has a few catties and a few taels, everyone knows very well. If Xia Feilong still has any hole cards, he will not wait until this time. Xi Potian laughed and said confidently.
"Besides, our Holy Hall Master in Jade Water City, as well as most of the deacons in the Holy Hall, are all supporting us! Xi Potian said triumphantly.
This time, it is bound to make the Xia family completely finished!Xi Potian thought to himself.
Now the holy church in Yushui City also supports the Xi family.
Xi Potian relied on the powerful forces behind him to win over Mr. Lan, the master of Yushui City, and more than half of the deacons. And several other deacons also chose to be silent, if there is a dispute between the Xi family and the Xia family in the church, then the Xi family must win.
Xia Yan can only swallow his anger!
"That's very good!" Mr. Lu nodded with satisfaction, "It's not early, then I'll go back and rest, I wish the Xi family to become the first family in Yushui City as soon as possible!"
Mr. Lu had a sly smile on his face!
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your good words!" said Xi Potian, who clenched his fists and said with a smile.
Three days later!
Two carriages slowly drove into Yushui City.
"Mr. Xia Yan, where are we going now?" asked the coachman in front.
Before, although they knew that Xia Yan's destination was Yushui City, now that they had arrived in Yushui City, Xia Yan had not yet told them the specific location.
"Hmm......" Xia Yan thought for a moment, "Let's go to the Sanctuary first!"
If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's accompaniment, Xia Yan would naturally have to go back to Xia's house first. And now Mr. Zhang is also there, and Mr. Zhang is also going to convene the deacon to announce Xia Yan's identity as the hall master.
In this way, Xia Yan decided to go to the Holy Hall first after thinking about it.
"Okay!" replied the coachman.
A coachman got out of the car and asked for directions, and then the carriage was in front of the Sanctuary Palace in Yushui City.
About half an hour later, the two carriages in which everyone was riding arrived at the central square and got off.
Xia Yan looked at the familiar square, the extreme challenge hall opposite the square, the auction house, etc., as well as the restaurant Jufu Building on the side, which is the property of the Wang family, the best restaurant in Yushui City.
Taking a deep breath of air, Xia Yan looked at the Sanctuary Palace.
"Steward Zhang, let's go to the Holy Church. ”
Xia Yan turned his eyes and looked at Steward Zhang, who had just gotten off the carriage.
"Okay!" Steward Zhang discerned the direction a little, and when he heard Xia Yan speak, he hurriedly responded.
Xia Yan took out a handful of gold coins from his money bag, then took out another handful of gold coins, took out four gold coins in a row, and then put them into a bag and walked in front of several coachmen.
"A few people have worked hard, these gold coins, except for the carriage that compensates the car dealership, the rest is the fare. Xia Yan stretched out his hand and gave the gold coins to one of the coachmen.
Before the driver could react, he felt something more in his hand. The other three coachmen all stared at the driver with the gold coin.
At this time, the coachman reacted and looked at the gold coin in his hand.
There were two or three hundred gold coins in this bag. They were out and about because they were out in the car, and although their monthly remuneration was relatively large, it was only three or four gold coins. And Xia Yan gave the four of them two or three hundred gold coins this time. Of course, these coins also have to compensate the carriage and horses of the car dealership. However, after that loss, there are at least a hundred gold coins left.
On average, everyone can have twenty or thirty pieces!
"After you drive these two carriages to the car shop in Jade Water City, go back to Purple Leaf City. Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia Yan! Thank you, Master Xia Yan!" Several coachmen knelt down to thank Xia Yan, their faces flushed with excitement.
The fare given to them by Xia Yan is almost the reward for them to drive for a year. This amount of money is a small amount of money.
"Xiaoqing, let's go. Xia Yan turned around, took Xiaoqing with him, and then said hello to Steward Zhang again, and began to walk towards the holy church.
The earth dog naturally followed behind Xia Yan and Xiaoqing.
The Sanctuary of Jade Water City cannot, of course, be compared to the Sanctuary of Purple Leaf City. However, this sanctuary is also extraordinary, with a pair of guards patrolling the door non-stop, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the sanctuary at will.
When Xia Yan arrived outside the holy hall, Zhang Guan took out his token in advance, and those guards saw the token and immediately welcomed Xia Yan and the others into the holy hall.
After entering, Steward Zhang found several stewards of the church, announced the identity of Xia Yan, the new head of the church, and then instructed them to inform the deacons to meet in the church on time tomorrow morning. When those deacons saw the documents of the temple and Xia Yan's hall master token, of course they immediately obeyed.
"Master Xia Yan, after the Ming Dynasty, Yushui City will be officially taken over by you. Steward Zhang said with a respectful look.
"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, "I grew up in Yushui City since I was a child, and I have a special affection for Yushui City. Being the hall master of Yushui City is also a wish I have had a long time ago. ”
Xia Yan said with some emotion.
Looking at the entire gorgeous hall, Xia Yan had a deep voice echoing in his heart, "Finally, I can let my mother's spiritual seat enter the ancestral ancestral hall and be with my father's spiritual seat." ”
"Hall Master Xia Yan, don't you go back to the family first?" Steward Zhang asked suspiciously.
Xia Yan shook his head, "Since we have arrived at the Holy Hall, we are not in a hurry to go back first, and after the official appointment is made tomorrow, I will go back to the family to deal with some things." ”
The first thing is to let the mother's spiritual throne enter the ancestral hall, and the second thing is to solve the crisis that the family is facing now. The third thing is naturally to find a few of them. Bai Hua Bai Rui and them, they should have been in Yushui City for three months, and I don't know where they are now arranged.
"The master of Xia Yan Hall is only sixteen years old, and he has served as the master of the temple hall in a county town, and in the future, he will inevitably serve as the master ......of the temple hall of the main city," Steward Zhang seemed to be moved.
Although he was the steward of the temple, he was very envious of the temple master.
Templar Master, in control of a county. In this county, the hall master has the final say. And although he is in the temple, he is also an errand boy, mainly to help the temple master deal with some things.
Steward Zhang is also willing to be the head of a county town rather than the temple steward. However, it is not easy to serve as the lord of this county town.
Listening to Steward Zhang's tone, Xia Yan smiled and didn't say much. looked at Xiao Qing, "Xiao Qing, in a while, we will have dinner with Steward Zhang and these six brothers in this holy hall." ”
"Whew~"
The earth dog barked suddenly, Xia Yan said that he was eating, but he didn't bring it, obviously it was very dissatisfied.
However, although it called out dissatisfiedly, Xia Yan didn't seem to hear it and ignored it directly.
"Woo~"
Seeing this, the earth dog hung his head and leaned his head on Xiaoqing's calf.
When it's time!
"The hall master summoned all the deacons?" Xia Feilong, the head of the Xia family, was surprised.
"Why did you convene us again at this time, didn't you just discuss it half a month ago?" Xi Potian, the head of the Xi family, frowned and wondered.
