Chapter 56: The Banquet

Seven days later, the banquet was held in Zixu Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people who attended the banquet were not only more than forty monks from the twelve towns of Zixu Town, but also thousands of mortals with heads and faces.

Most of these people carry gifts, and most of them are valuable. Lu Jianping roughly estimated that these gifts were worth more than 30,000 taels of silver.

Most of the people who attended the banquet had good cultivation, and people entered the Zhenbo Mansion in turn, and they were very polite to each other.

Before the banquet began, the noise had already enveloped the entire Zixu Town.

Anyone who is in Zixu Town can hear the noise in Zhenbofu and feel the lively atmosphere of the banquet.

After everyone arrived, Lu Jian slowly walked into the banquet.

After people saw Lu Jianping, they immediately silenced themselves and waited for Lu Jianping's speech.

"In Xialu Jianping, who was originally just a first-order ascension to the small people of Taoyuan Village, Zixu Town, was favored by the heavens, and gradually gained strong strength and got today's status. In this process, I have offended many people to a greater or lesser extent, and I hope that you can put aside your past suspicions and not worry about me in general. I'll do this wine first!"

Lu Jianping arched his hand to the guests, said a few high-sounding words, and then took a drink from the wine glass.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly picked up the wine glass, followed Lu Jianping's example, and drank all the wine in the cup.

After drinking, the monks with high status began to praise Lu Jianping loudly.

"Lord Lu Jianping is polite, let him go over the past!"

"From now on, Lord Lu Jianping will be my friend, if Lord Lu Jianping is in trouble, I will definitely come forward!"

"Lord Lu Jianping is so young, he has such a powerful cultivation, he is really a model for my generation!"

......

These monks were of noble status, and they were entitled to speak freely at banquets.

The other mortals, although they intended to be close to Lu Jian, did not dare to speak because of their identity.

Lu Jianping knew very well what these monks thought.

Not long ago, with the addition of the Li family, Lu Jianping became a street rat in the Void Moon Valley, and everyone shouted and beat him, and the monks did not have a good face for Lu Jianping.

But now, the second elder took the initiative to be a lobbyist, intending to resolve the hatred between Lu Jianping and the Li family.

Soon, Lu Jianping will gain a firm foothold and become the ruler of Zixu Town.

Lu Jianping's situation was very different from before, and the monks naturally would not continue to be hostile to Lu Jianping.

"Thank you very much for your magnanimity, and thank you very much. Lu Jianping put down his wine glass, and then arched his hand to everyone, "The twelve towns of Xuyue Valley are naturally a whole, I hope that in the near future, we can communicate with each other and deepen cooperation." From now on, Zixu Town will no longer be closed, and anyone can enter and leave Zixu Town freely. Everyone can marry a wife and have children in Zixu Town, they can take root in Zixu Town, or they can leave Zixu Town to make a living elsewhere. ”

Lu Jianping suddenly released a bombshell.

The twelve towns of the Void Moon Valley are relatively independent, and each town is a completely open policy towards a closed kingdom, which is simply appalling.

Everyone present felt a deep shock.

Once Zixu Town is fully opened, Lu Jianping's control over Zixu Town will be greatly reduced, and the people can leave Zixu Town at will, and naturally they will not let Lu Jianping slaughter it.

Zixu Town is completely open, while other towns are still closed, and the end result is that Zixu Town's population will be outflowed, and it will not be able to get supplements from other towns, and it will become weaker and weaker.

This policy, in the eyes of all, is a complete stupid trick.

"Lord Lu Jianping's courage, I can't wait for it!"

"Lord Lu Jianping, from today onwards, I will be your staunch ally. Any people in Zixu Town will be treated with my dignity!"

"In the days to come, we can deepen our cooperation!"

......

Everyone thinks that Lu Jianping's decision is not good for Zixu Town and harmful to Lu Jianping, but for others, it is of great benefit.

Every monk smiled, they were ready to dig into the wall, and increasing the population would be a good thing for any town.

On the surface, the monks kept complimenting Lu Jianping, but in fact, they looked down on Lu Jianping a lot.

The monks believed that the reason why Lu Jianping adopted a policy of complete openness was entirely to curry favor with them.

Lu Jianping didn't care about other people's contempt.

Closed or open, which policy is better, the earth has given a good answer.

In the short term, opening up will suffer losses, but in the long run, the benefits of opening up are more, and the reason why Lu Jianping chose to open up is because of this.

"You have come from afar, the road must be very hard, I have prepared a little side dish below, and I hope you will not dislike it. If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please also Haihan!"

Lu Jianping arched his hand to the guests below, and then beckoned to Deacon Liu next to him, motioning for people to serve the food.

It didn't take long for the people of Zhenbo's Mansion to enter the banquet with trays.

These dishes were first served to the monks. Monks are distinguished and deserve to be given priority in receiving these benefits.

These dishes are not uncommon, they are all home-cooked side dishes in Zixu Town, and there are not many of them.

On the table where the monks were located, there were nine plates of dishes, and on the table of the mortals, there were only three plates.

If you have a small banquet, only such a small dish will definitely make the guests dissatisfied.

However, this large banquet has a large number of guests, and it is already the limit to be able to make so many dishes.

Lu Jianping didn't mean to snub them, and the guests knew this, so no one expressed their dissatisfaction.

Time flies by between the touches and the light, and it doesn't take long for the guests to be satisfied.

Just when most of the people had already put down their chopsticks and patiently waited for the follow-up arrangements, a subordinate suddenly ran to Lu Jianping's side.

"Lord Lu Jianping, the main lord has arrived, please instruct!"

After listening to this subordinate's words, Lu Jianping immediately stood up.

The so-called main master, apart from the second elder and the Supreme Elder of the Li family, Li Jinji, who else could there be?

The real purpose of Lu Jianping's banquet is to build momentum for the Li family, so that people mistakenly believe that the Li family still has strong secret strength today.

This is something that Lu Jianping personally agreed, and Lu Jianping naturally will not regret it.

Lu Jianping doesn't take the Li family in his eyes at all now, but the second elder's face has to be given.

After all, the strength of the Second Elder was the first layer of the Heaven and Man Dual Realm, and Lu Jianping was not his opponent.

Angering the Second Elder did not do Lu Jianping any good.

"Quickly arrange the welcome ceremony, I will walk out of the door now, and go outside the door to wait for the driver!"
