Chapter 275: The arrogant Mobai
The deacons and elders in the elder body come from a variety of backgrounds, belonging to different countries or races, this is to prevent the collusion of the elder group stationed in the city, arbitrarily wielding power, and emptying the rights of the city lord and deputy city lord to enrich their own pockets.
This kind of thing has not happened before, Tidal Mountain has been open for tens of thousands of years, and what problems have not been encountered? Up to now, the management system of the elder group has been quite perfect, and even the most intelligent people can rarely find loopholes to drill.
Therefore, although the strength of the five elders present far surpassed Tang Chuyang, they did not have the intention of staying to calculate Tang Chuyang, although they were responsible for supervising the city lord and deputy city lord, they also had the chief elder of the elder group above them.
And the supervising elders are all thousand-year-old monsters who have no desires, and most of them are monks who plan to cultivate in Tidal Mountain until they die, after all, Tidal Mountain is much stronger than the outside world in terms of vitality concentration and other aspects.
Although it is not as good as the Five Elements Continent in terms of area and abundant resources, for those monks who truly pursue the Immortal Dao and spend their lives just to ascend to godhood, enjoyment, power, and wealth are secondary.
The perfect system means that everyone must follow the rules, and the time before Tang Chuyang became the city lord was the time when the elders acquiesced, and the deacons and elders reaped the benefits.
Of course, the so-called 'benefits' are not the idea of building treasure troves and city stocks, but the benefits left to the city lord and deputy city lord, such as the right to operate the shop, the fixed amount of poll tax, etc., these rights can only be exercised by the city lord, and the deacons and elders cannot touch them.
But a city inhabited by tens of thousands of monks. There are too many places that can make money, and the most direct thing is to use the city lord's Great Seal to detect the details of a radius of thousands of miles, where is the spiritual mine. Where there is spirit grass, where there are rare spirit beasts, etc., are all sources of huge wealth.
The resources contained in this 10,000-mile radius should have belonged to the city lord who held the city lord's seal, but the elder group also tacitly acquiesced that before the city lord took office, the deacons and elders stationed in the city could use this to compete with the future city lord for resources.
Of course, there are limits to this contention. Once the lord of the city arrives, no matter how much manpower, material resources, or energy the deacons and elders spend on certain resources. All of them must be stopped immediately, and all rights and interests must be returned to the lord of the city.
In a magical small world like Tidal Mountain, which is constantly changing and has strange laws, there are too many resources that can be found within a radius of thousands of miles. Take, for example, mineral deposits. Half a year is enough to even open a mine.
Spirit ore is not an ordinary mineral, there are too many things to do before mining, and there must be special tools, formations, and even spirit runes, etc., even if all the tools and materials are ready, you have to prepare special spirit ores or demon beasts to be responsible for mining.
Mining spiritual ore is also a technical job, not that you have a high level of cultivation. You can mine all the mineral deposits, and you can't destroy the vein spirits. The entire vein could be scrapped.
The Great Seal of the City Lord is jointly managed by the five deacons and elders, so even if the Great Seal of the City Lord is used, the benefits will be equally shared among the five deacon elders, of course, it also depends on personal wishes.
For example, some deacons and elders like to collect medicine, some deacons and elders like to mine, and some deacons and elders like to look for rare spirit beasts, demon beasts, etc., in this case, everyone generally plays their own games, and no one interferes or is jealous.
For example, Mo Bai and the other five deacon elders, Lin Jing and Dongguo Aoyong chose to collect high-grade spirit grass and spirit flowers, He Busheng of the Divine Imperial Clan, and Dai Lisi preferred all kinds of rare birds and beasts.
These things don't require too much manpower and material resources, and they can see the benefits in the shortest possible time, but Mobai is more ambitious, and he has prepared a lot of manpower and material resources to mine the spirit ore.
In fact, Mobai is not the first to do this, and it will definitely not be the last, if according to the usual law, most of the new city owners will not be possible until a year later, and it will take more than three years for a long time.
Therefore, some of the more ambitious deacons and elders will have the idea of fighting the spirit mine within the city, just like Mobai, although the idea of hitting the spirit mine seems to be greedy, but as long as the preparation is sufficient and can act in time.
Even if the new city lord takes office a year later, the spiritual ore he has mined will be enough to return to his original cost and make a lot of money, but Tang Chuyang, the new city lord, is really too cheating, and in just over half a year, he has already accumulated enough huge contributions to be able to directly become the city lord without being allowed to take the assessment.
The most cheating thing is that the Mobai organization invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and it took half a year to hit the spirit mine, today is the first day that Mobo plans to mine the spirit mine, and at this time, the god tablet suddenly has a vision, and the new city lord suddenly came.
This is the main reason why Mo Bai didn't give Tang Chuyang a good face, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources, prospecting, arranging formations, digging mines, and about to see the glittering spirit mine, and then, he made a wedding dress for others!
If it were anyone, it would be impossible to show a smile to the person who had robbed him of his wealth at this time, so after the other four deacon elders got the benefit of Tang Chuyang, although they wanted to repay this new city lord.
But everyone knew how much Mo Bai had paid for those volleys, so although Mo Bai gave Tang Chuyang a face, Lin Jing and the others couldn't say anything to Tang Chuyang about this matter, so they simply transferred the way of repayment to the field they were responsible for.
Tang Chuyang didn't know that there were these bends in it, but he could still feel Mobai's unfriendliness, most of the enemies were created because of conflicts of interest, and Tang Chuyang, who didn't know the situation, thought that he and Mobai had no direct conflict of interest.
Therefore, Mo Bai put on a face for him for no reason, in Tang Chuyang's opinion, it was that this old guy was sick or liked to bully newcomers.
For powerhouses above the sixth order, Tang Chuyang had the mind that if he could not offend, he would not offend, and he did not intend to continue to embarrass Mo Bai, but when he politely sent Wang Fu to Mo Bai's eyes, he politely asked for advice.
But in exchange for Mo Bai's more embarrassed face and disdainful disdain.
"Hey, although the Wang Fu is precious, it is not so precious that it is necessary to make the old man whisper. I don't think the cultivation of the city major is high, so you should stay and save your life!"
As soon as the words of disdain came out, Tang Chuyang's originally kind and handsome face immediately pulled down. Damn, Lao Tzu has whispered, you are still bullying people like this, really think Lao Tzu is muddy?!
Tang Chuyang didn't want to offend the powerhouses above the sixth order, that was because he didn't want to create more enemies for the Tang family, because he had enough enemies to face, the Gao family, the Gu family. The Moyun Sect with an unknown attitude, Ling Yangze with an amazingly powerful background, and so on.
But even so, it doesn't mean that Tang Chuyang will endure humiliation and steal his life. is willing to let people ride on his head to and pee, if he really wants to tear his face and throw hole cards, Tang Chuyang does not necessarily have the strength to fight with the strong man of the Seven Star Mirror, but the price is too great. Some of the gains outweigh the losses.
"Oh, Elder Mo is worthy of being a monk from the Four Extremes Dynasty. The vision is really not comparable to ordinary people, even so, Tang Mou is grateful to Elder Mo for his concern, Elder Mo is in a high position, so please hand over the authority first, so as to save you from delaying your busy business!"
Since others don't give face, Tang Chuyang simply didn't bother to be hypocritical and polite with Mobai, anyway, he had already won the affection of the other four deacons and elders. Whatever Mobai's authority was, it would be possible to ask it from the other four deacons and elders at that time.
Tang Chuyang's words were plain and sarcastic. didn't give Mo Bai any face, which made Mo Bai, who was already full of resentment towards Tang Chuyang, immediately angry, and after squinting at Tang Chuyang, he snorted angrily:
The old man is responsible for the overall management of the entire Falling Moon City, and every authority must be counted clearly before it can be handed over to you, there have been a lot of things in Falling Moon City recently, and the city lord should wait for a few months, and then call the city lord to hand over everything!"
"What if I don't want to wait?!"
Tang Chuyang's body is not a strong man When he heard this, his eyes were shining, and a light called danger directly hit Mo Bai, who completely pulled down his face, the old guy was obviously playing with him, if Tang Chuyang was enduring it, it would be cowardly, but it was not his personality.
"Don't you want to wait, young man, although the old man is surprised that you can accumulate enough to become the city lord in such a short period ......of time, but this is not your arrogant capital, you think you can argue with the deacon elders because of your strong background?"
Mo Bai laughed sarcastically, his sturdy figure of nearly two meters made him look at the handsome young man in front of him with a downward attitude, raised his hand and nodded Tang Chuyang's nose, and said unceremoniously:
"If you have a little knowledge, you should know that the only prince with a different surname in the Ziwei Dynasty is from the Mo family, and the Mo family walks the Five Elements Continent, and no one does not give a little face!
When the word 'you' was spoken, Mo Bai's fingers almost touched the tip of Tang Chuyang's nose, and the last few said unceremoniously disdainfully:
"It's still a little tender!!"
The last sentence, Mo Bai almost said word by word, every word that popped out of his mouth, Mo Bai's face was even more disdainful, and when he said the last few words, he looked at Tang Chuyang's gaze, as if he was looking at an ant that could be ravaged wantonly.
“......”
When Tang Chuyang heard this, he looked up at Mo Bai expressionlessly, the atmosphere at the scene had completely stiffened, and the other four deacon elders wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Tang Chuyang for a while, and then looking at Mo Bai who was almost out of his mind, but finally chose to remain silent.
"Elder Mo......"
After a long time, Tang Chuyang finally spoke, his tone was extremely calm, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation in his calmness.
"Don't talk nonsense, the old man doesn't want to talk to you more, let you wait, you just wait for me obediently!!"
After tearing his face, Mo Bai didn't plan to continue talking to Tang Chuyang at all, although he still had to hand over the rights of the city lord to Tang Chuyang in the end, and the handover time also had a clearly defined deadline, but as long as the handover period allowed, it was still the deacon elders who had the final say.
Tang Chuyang didn't seem to be affected by Mo Bai's bad attitude, and continued in an extremely calm tone:
"I just want to ask one question, a very simple one!"
Seeing Tang Chuyang so persevering, Mo Bai squinted his eyes and said contemptuously:
"What's the problem?"
The corners of Tang Chuyang's mouth turned up slightly, with a serious and strict expression, Shi Potian exclaimed:
"What's your father's last name?" (to be continued......)
