Chapter 48: The clouds are moving

That night, the crowd came to the city of Nanyue.

Before entering the city, Wu You proposed to act separately from the group of six doors, pulled Li Lei together, and left the team.

Nanyue County is also prosperous, although it is not as good as Jingzhou Prefecture. But it is also the largest metropolis south of Kyushu.

Whether it is a businessman who has gone south to start a business, or a local native, they often come here to sell goods and buy goods.

This also made Nanyue County a trading center that radiated the surrounding villages and towns and rainforest tribes.

"From now on, we are the rich people who went south from Jingzhou City and came here to look for business opportunities, do you know?"

Wu You led the horse while chatting with Li Lei.

"You said that when the rich man arrives in a place, what is the first thing he should do?"

"Buying a house, of course, boss."

"Okay, then let's inquire where we can buy a house."

After entering the city, the two found an inn to stay. Early the next morning, I went straight to the local dental store to discuss the purchase of the property with the broker.

I have to say that compared with the small courtyard in Jingzhou Mansion that costs thousands of taels of silver, the houses in Nanyue City are really cheap.

Wu You has seen several sets of residences in this place in a row, all of which are imitation garden-style courtyards built with reference to the style of the Central Plains, and the price of the large mansions with three courtyards does not exceed five hundred taels of silver.

"If five hundred taels of silver are taken to Jingzhou, I won't even be able to buy the small courtyard I rented at the beginning."

I picked and finalized one of the mansions close to the south of the city and covering an area of more than ten acres.

"Or do you have good eyesight, this compound used to be a private mansion built by wealthy merchants in the Central Plains."

"When the rich merchant first arrived in Nanyue, he felt that when he came to this place far away from the emperor, no one cared about it. It was built exactly to the specifications of the Prince's Mansion. ”

"The original owner has a large family and has lived here for decades. When I get old, my homesickness grows stronger, and maybe I have made enough money. ”

"Anyway, at the beginning of this year, the family moved back to the Central Plains and entrusted this mansion to our tooth store for sale."

"There is everything you need to live in, you just need to move in, add some luggage, and you can live in directly."

"When the time comes, hire a few maids and servants, gardeners, doormen and other miscellaneous servants in the local area, and in those days, you will be more comfortable than the prince of the Central Plains."

Wu You didn't listen to the broker's nonsense, but this house looked really good. So he bought it for four hundred and eighty taels of silver, and lived in it.

As for the servants, they are also very cheap.

A descendant of the Central Plains, a young man who can speak official language, can sign a deed of sale for only ten taels of silver, and a maid for twelve taels. The local aborigines only need seven or eight taels of silver.

Looking at this market, Wu You sighed:

"When I bought Erha back then, I needed ten taels of silver, which is really cheaper than grass."

It cost less than 100 taels of silver to sign six men, four women and ten domestic servants, with the Central Plains and the local natives accounting for half each.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his early thirties, Wu You, saw that he could read and write, and his parents were both from the Central Plains, who fled to South Vietnam due to famine.

"In the future, you will be the housekeeper, responsible for managing the daily work of these people, as well as the food and clothing of the two of us."

Wu You pointed to Li Lei on the side.

"If there is something that cannot be decided on your own, ask him for instructions."

Here Wu You and the others are still planning, and the future of the landlord will be rich. On the other side, the people of the six doors led by Wang Anbang were not so leisurely.

As soon as a group of people entered the city, they were warmly welcomed by the king of Nanyue, who personally went out of the palace to greet them and settled everyone in the palace of the county king.

And on the second day, a feast was held in the king's palace to receive them and wash away the dust.

At the banquet, in addition to several officials in charge of the city's secrets, there were also heads of major gangs and chambers of commerce in the city.

It can be said that this banquet almost included most of the forces in Nanyue County on the bright side.

Wang Anbang knew that everyone here had no relationship with the transcendental. In other words, in this world dominated by the transcendent, as long as you can succeed in ascending to the top, you definitely have an extraordinary background.

He was ordered to come here and build a branch of the Six Doors to manage all matters related to the crimes of the transcendentals, which is to tear down their tables, move their cakes, and step on their thrones.

Therefore, today's banquet seems to be a happy guest and host, but it is actually an authentic "Hongmen banquet".

Sure enough, not long after everyone sat down, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man got up and looked at Wang Anbang.

"Lu Hengtong, president of the 'Liutong Chamber of Commerce', has made a toast to the prince!"

This person first bowed deeply, then took the wine glass and drank it all, and made a full salute on his face.

After the toast, he said:

"The prince came to Nanyue City on this trip, and was ordered to establish a branch of the Six Gates to regulate the behavior of transcendentals, and I strongly support this move."

"It's just that there is still one thing that is not clear, I don't know if the prince can answer it for me."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I don't know what kind of regulations are going to be made for Six Doors to establish a branch here?"

"Do you just take the laws of the Great Wei and copy them directly, or do you make new rules for the situation in South Vietnam?"

"You must know that the situation here in Nanyue County is special, and if it is completely forbidden for transcendents to use force against ordinary people, I am afraid it is impossible."

This person's voice did not fall, but it aroused the response of many people in the banquet.

"That's right, my South Vietnam has its own national conditions."

"If you don't use some force, that group of indigenous monkeys will really turn against the sky."

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Before Wang Anbang could speak, another participant stood up.

"Listen to me, all of you here are from the Central Plains for three generations, and my Nanyue County is now also a territory under the rule of the Great Wei Dynasty, so it is natural to act according to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"It's just that those natives who hide in the woods and don't understand the culture, those shamans who drink blood, it's hard to communicate with them and let them follow the rules."

"This matter is going to have to be bothered by the prince."

"If it is the law of the six gates, it only needs to be obeyed by decent people in the city, but those natives in the deep mountains and old forests can violate it at will, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people."

As soon as this person finished speaking, many people echoed him.

Seeing this, Wang Anbang frowned, pressed his hands weakly, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"I've been waiting for a long journey, and I just arrived in Nanyue City last night, so I'm not familiar with the situation."

"Let's not talk about government affairs today, when the six doors are officially put into operation, there will be a solution to your doubts."

After saying this, Wang Anbang really didn't mention political affairs, but just talked about the customs of the capital, and what he saw and heard along the way, as if he was a rich boy who traveled and traveled.

The people from all walks of life who attended the banquet also responded when they saw him behave like this.

For a time, the sound of flattery was endless.
