Jiang Yu is not worried about the success of building a new city, because the success or failure of this new city mainly depends on whether it can be truly pioneered. Jiang Yu decided to go to the so-called inaccessible dense forest first. After resting for a few days, Jiang Yu felt that he had fully recovered, so he and Su Yu'er went all the way to the east and braved the wind.

Jiang Yufei is not high, and he can clearly see the flow of people like a river below, outside Muyun City, there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt. The farther you go east, the fewer people there are, and at last there is a thousand miles of red land below, and even a single grass can not be seen. After flying for a long time, in the distance, you can see the water and green, and patches of dense woods appear in front of you. The number here is not as tall as in the Cloud Immortal Realm, but it is also much thicker than the trees in other parts of the Wasteland.

"Isn't it quite quiet? How can there be no one in such a good place?" Jiang Yu asked Su Yu'er beside him with some confusion. He and Su Yu'er slowly fell to the ground.

Hearing this, Su Yu'er nodded slightly, looking around, she and Jiang Yu both felt that there were no demon beasts around here, and there was no danger.

"Strange ......" Jiang Yu frowned, Su Yu'er was stunned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu said: "It's a little too quiet here, but there is no sound of birds and insects chirping, should the woods be like this?"

After Su Yu'er listened to what Jiang Yu said, the aura on her wrist moved, and a wisp of water-like aura flew around the woods, and in an instant, it turned into mist, and after a while, Su Yu'er looked sideways at Jiang Yu and said: "Sure enough, there is no living soul in this vicinity except for grass and trees."

"Is there a miasma here?" Jiang Yu wondered. Su Yu'er shook her head and said, "There doesn't seem to be a miasma here, but even if there is, some birds and insects can still survive, so it won't be like this, there will be a dead silence." ”

"Let's look east. Jiang Yu said. Su Yu'er nodded in agreement, rose against the wind with Jiang Yu, and continued to the east.

The farther east, the denser the trees became, running for nearly a hundred miles, Jiang Yu and Su Yu'er stopped, and saw a "mountain" in the distance that went straight up to the sky, which seemed to be a mountain, but in fact it was not, because it was like a flame and moving. What's even more strange is that it is black and purple, and the mountain runs north-south, winding all the way, and there is no end in sight. Vaguely visible, there seemed to be a lot of woods in the middle of the mountain, or rather, this mountain, covered with trees.

Jiang Yu floated in the air, looked at the mountain, and said to Su Yu'er: "There is a mixture of spiritual energy, but it is not complete, it seems to be a miasma, but it is not like it." Is it an enchantment?"

Su Yu'er looked at the mountain from afar, shook her head, and said, "Enchantments are generally not like this, but there are many things I don't know about these eight states and nine islands. ”

"Just try it and you'll know!" Jiang Yu said, urging the method of spiritual solution, and used it at the mountain from a distance, and a sharp spiritual energy smashed straight towards the mountain, but it was unexpectedly unresponsive, like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response at all.

"This ......," Jiang Yuxin said what the situation was. After Jiang Yu tried it, he saw that Su Yu'er's aura was gathered in both hands, and in mid-air, a white lotus magic circle was formed, and he saw her hands moving together, and the aura turned into a storm and hit the mountain in the distance. The storm swept away, the grass and trees were blowing, and the hurricane urged by Su Yu'er when it touched the mountain, it was as if it had really touched the mountain, and it had no effect on the mountain at all.

"It's so far away that you may not be able to see clearly, so let's take a closer look. Jiang Yu said. But he saw Su Yu'er stop directly in front of him, and said: "Husband, slow down, there is a dead silence around here, I think it is mostly inseparable from this mountain, if you approach it rashly, there may be unknown dangers." ”

Listening to Su Yu'er's persuasion, Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, but there must be a way." ”

Su Yu'er said: "Husband, you can go back and find some people who are more familiar with the barren state, I believe that someone will know the origin of this mountain, and if the reason is found, it will be easy to deal with." ”

"Or you're careful. Then let's go back first. Jiang Yu said, grabbed Su Yu'er, Su Yu'er leaned lightly, and the two flew all the way back to Jiangfu. When he landed, he happened to meet Hongrou, and after Jiang Yu saw Hongrou, he said directly: "Call the horse patriarch, I have something to ask him." “

"Good ......" Hongrou received the order and went to call someone. Seeing Hongrou's blushing face, Jiang Yu was still a little puzzled, and looked sideways at Su Yu'er, Su Yu'er was the same. Jiang Yu also noticed that he and Su Yu'er were very close, and they almost came back with her.

"I ...... I'll go back and water the flowers and plants, and I'll come back later. Su Yu'er said in a low voice, and then went straight to Jiang Yu's bedroom and went to the Cloud Wu Immortal Realm.

Jiang Yu waited in the study, and after almost half an hour, the Ma patriarch came to Jiang Yu with a few people from the Ma family.

"I don't know if the city lord asked me to come here, what's the matter?" Patriarch Ma sat down under the concession of the maid and said to Jiang Yu. When he spoke, he was obviously angry, why couldn't Jiang Yu hear it?

Jiang Yu looked at the Ma patriarch, and then looked at the few people he brought behind him, and saw that those people seemed to have injuries on their bodies, and the injuries on one person's face were still slowly oozing blood.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yu asked in wonder.

When Patriarch Ma heard Jiang Yu's words, he sighed deeply and said to the people behind him: "You talk to the city lord. ”

The people behind the Ma patriarch talked nonsense, and Jiang Yu understood what was going on. It is related to the casting of the new city. Casting a new city is a huge project, which requires a large amount of wood and stone, and this Ma family happens to be in the wood and stone business. But in this Muyun City, the Ma family is not the only one who does this kind of business. One of their biggest competitors is a prominent family with the surname Han. The so-called peers are enemies, and the eight characters of this new city have not yet been drawn out, and the two Ma and Han families want to privately determine the proportion of this wood and stone business as early as possible. The result is that they are greedy, naturally they can't talk about it, these patriarchs are still calm, but the juniors of the Ma and Han families can't do it, they make a private appointment to fight, and they fight, although they didn't kill anyone, but they injured a lot of people, except for these few people who came, the others were still lying at home.

"My Ma family has been in Muyun City for hundreds of years, and when we started the stone and timber business here, they didn't know where they were. Now that you have fat, you have to take care of everything, and you want to monopolize seventy percent, where is there such a good thing?......" Ma Patriarch chattered with Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu just smiled and listened.

After a long time, the patriarch of Nama said almost enough, and Jiang Yu said, "I don't know much about business, huh...... Hongrou, you can tell me. Jiang Yu looked sideways at Hongrou beside him. Hearing this, Hongrou gently stuck out her tongue and whispered to Jiang Yu: "Master, let me settle the account, how can I understand when it comes to doing business." ”

"What should I do then?" Jiang Yu was puzzled.

"Why don't you call that nerd over and let him tell him that the master didn't appoint him?" suggested Hongrou.

"Good idea, you go and call him. Jiang Yu commanded, and Hongrou took the order and walked out quickly.

Jiang Yu looked at Patriarch Ma and said, "Actually, I have entrusted the construction of the new city to Deacon Shen, has Patriarch Ma ever gone to him to inquire?"

It's okay not to mention this, as soon as he mentions this, the Ma patriarch couldn't help but shake his head, and the conversation box opened at once, and said to Jiang Yu: "City Lord, your cultivation, your kindness, no one in Muyun City knows, to put it mildly, your age is not much different from these descendants of my Ma family, but I, Ma Rongkui, am convinced of you." But in the matter of building a new city, I think you are not doing it properly, and it is simply ...... to let a person who is angry with the scholar to build a new city" Patriarch Ma wanted to say something excessive, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and finally swallowed it.

When Jiang Yu heard this, he was not angry, and said, "Patriarch Ma, since you can recognize me, why don't you give your juniors a chance......?" Patriarch Horse, you say so, haven't you been to his side?"

"Yes, he is a scholar, how can he judge such a thing. The horse patriarch shook his head uncontrollably.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. After hiding for a while, Hongrou led Deacon Shen to come. As soon as Deacon Shen walked into the study, Jiang Yu was startled, and he saw that Deacon Shen was seriously covered with bloodshots, as if he was more than ten years old.

"How?" Jiang Yu was a little puzzled when he saw him like this.

"Nothing, a bit more to deal with lately. Deacon Shen smiled awkwardly.

Deacon Shen saw the Ma patriarch and walked over and saluted respectfully, but the Ma patriarch tilted his head directly to the side and didn't look at him. It seems that he is still dissatisfied with a scholar in power.

"Do you know about the matter?" Jiang Yu asked Deacon Shen. Deacon Shen nodded and said, "Miss Hongrou has made it clear to me on the way. ”

"Then what do you think should be done with the timber and stone business of the two Malaysians? Jiang Yu asked.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Patriarch Ma turned his head and frowned, because he heard the meaning of Jiang Yu's words. For the Ma family, building a new city is an opportunity to break out, if it is given to others, it will be equivalent to pushing the Ma family to a place of no return, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yu handed over the power of life and death of the Ma family to Deacon Shen.

"This ......" Deacon Shen pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "Lord of the city, building a city is not a day's work, and now the sketch of building a city has not yet been determined, and it is a bit too early to talk about wood and stone at this time. ”

"Indeed......" Jiang Yu nodded slightly, and said in his heart that so far, this Deacon Shen has not handed over the sketch of the new city to himself, not a single one, obviously it has not been finalized. Naturally, there is a saying that there is useful material.

Deacon Shen thought for a while and asked Jiang Yudao, "I have one important thing that I haven't consulted the city lord yet. ”

"Say it. Jiang Yu responded.

Deacon Shen said: "I have gathered a lot of craftsmen and asked them to draw the blueprint of the new city, but what these people have drawn is the blueprint of the old city, and even if it is built, there is nothing new. I think the city lord is an extraordinary person, and this new city should also be extraordinary, but if this is the case, I am afraid that the original city scale will be expanded, I don't know what the city lord wants?"

Hearing Deacon Shen say this, Patriarch Ma didn't say anything on his face, and said in his heart that he would really pat himself on the back. And Jiang Yu listened to Deacon Shen's words and said, "I said, the construction of the city is in your charge, you can do whatever you want." It's just that you have to be clear that first, this city is inhabited, and you can control the scale yourself, and second, I don't care how much it costs, but it must be built to last and be able to prevent disasters. ”

"My subordinates understand!" Deacon Shen replied. After saying this, he looked at Jiang Yu, then at Patriarch Ma, and said to Jiang Yu: "Lord City, when Patriarch Ma was in power, it was not that there was no solution. ”

As soon as he heard the mention of himself, the horse patriarch's nerves immediately tensed. Looking at Deacon Shen, I regretted a little in my heart, and said that since Deacon Shen was appointed as a deacon, he had hardly given him a good face, and now that the power of life and death was in the hands of others, he could only resign himself to fate. However, he thought about it for a while, and said in his heart that he was indeed not very good to Deacon Shen, but the Han family did not necessarily treat this Deacon Shen well. Thinking of this, the patriarch Ma said in his heart, if the surname is Han, if you are unlucky, let's go together!

"If there's anything you can do, just say it. Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Deacon Shen arched his hand and said, "I have something to ask Patriarch Ma." Listening to his request, Jiang Yu nodded. Deacon Shen sat not far in front of the Ma patriarch, and the juniors behind the Ma patriarch were all glaring angrily, after all, in their eyes, this Deacon Shen was about the same age as them, and he dared to sit directly in front of the patriarch of his own clan, which was really hateful.

Deacon Shen arched his hand and said, "Patriarch Ma, forgive me for being bold, dare to ask if the Ma family has been the largest timber and stone merchant in this Muyun City in the past ten years. ”

The horse patriarch didn't speak, just nodded. Seeing this, Deacon Shen said: "As far as I know, in recent years, there are not many places where stone and wood have been used in this Muyun City, and the most used wood is used for shipbuilding, and the most stone is just to add a wharf and which famous family wants to repair and build a mansion. Am I right?"

The horse patriarch still nodded. But I heard Deacon Shen say: "If you do such a small business once, how long will the Ma family have to prepare?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that this Deacon Shen was quick to speak, and he was not afraid of offending people by speaking too directly. How can the construction of a dock and a new mansion be a small business.

Patriarch Ma was also unhappy when he heard this, if Jiang Yu was not here, he would probably have turned around and left a long time ago. He said patiently: "Recently built a new wharf, the stone and timber of my Ma family have only been prepared for seven days. There was a kind of smugness in his words, and it seemed to him that seven days was already extremely fast.

"I don't know how often the Ma family can do such a business?" Deacon Shen asked again.

Patriarch Ma said, "There must be five or six times a year. ”

"That means you still have to use stock?" said Deacon Shen. Hearing this, Patriarch Ma frowned, and listened to Deacon Shen: "What we want to build is a complete new city, and the wood and stone to be used are far from being comparable to a wharf. The Ma family and the Han family together are only a drop in the bucket, and they will definitely not be able to fill this gap, and then the wood and stone will inevitably be insufficient, and I am afraid that they can only ask for help from the business travelers in the south. ”

Listening to Deacon Shen's words, there seemed to be countless gold and silver flashing in front of Team Leader Ma, and he immediately stood up and said, "Don't trouble them, my Ma family, no...... The merchants in my Muyun City can naturally handle this matter well. Moreover, if you buy wood and stone from the south, it will be a big cost. Moreover, the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, so it would be a pity if the people of other cities were allowed to earn so much money. In the last few words, he looked at Jiang Yu and said, he knew that Jiang Yu had the final decision.

After Patriarch Ma said these words, he turned to a few people behind him and said, "A few of you, immediately go to Han's house to apologize, and tell Han Lao Liu, later, I will go to him and have something to say." "What Deacon Ma is thinking about now is to unite with the Han family and the many timber and stone merchants in Muyun City to talk about this business first.

Seeing that the Ma patriarch was like this, Jiang Yu smiled lightly, and said in his heart that he really had to find a special talent to deal with this troublesome matter. This was Deacon Shen looking back at Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu nodded at him. Deacon Shen understood, and said to the patriarch of Ma: "The matter of wood and stone, I will entrust the Ma and Han families, and later, that Han ......" Deacon Shen wanted to talk about Han Lao Liu, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Later, I also want to meet Patriarch Han, I don't know if it is convenient for Patriarch Ma to be together?"

"Deacon Shen is willing to come, naturally it is full of fluffy and brilliant!" Patriarch Ma was overjoyed, as if he was very happy. He said in his heart that if this business was really done, the Ma family would be able to get rid of the status of only a quasi-first-class clan in Muyun City, and directly jump to one of the top clans in Muyun City.

Deacon Shen said humbly: "Patriarch Ma is polite, he is just a scholar below, and he needs more advice from his predecessors." ”

Deacon Shen's words, Patriarch Ma naturally responded respectfully, but Jiang Yu remembered something from these words. Xin said that he was disturbed by the fact that the horse patriarch came here, and he almost forgot the purpose of calling the horse patriarch.

After Deacon Shen finished the matter that he wanted to solve, he got up and said goodbye, and the Ma patriarch was also about to leave, but Jiang Yu stopped the Ma patriarch.

"Is there anything else to do with the city lord?" asked the horse patriarch with a blank expression. He didn't know that Jiang Yu called him for something else, he only called him because Jiang Yu called him because he knew about the private fight between the Ma and Han families, so he called him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly brought a bunch of injured people to Jiang Yu to see. Now that the matter is settled, it is natural to go.

"I have something to ask the horse patriarch. Jiang Yu motioned to Patriarch Ma to sit down again, Patriarch Ma sat down a little apprehensively, looking at Jiang Yu, not knowing what Jiang Yu was going to ask. At this moment, his heart is no longer here, and he has already begun to think about how to expand the scale of his business, and he should borrow money from those relatives to collect goods and the like.

Jiang Yu told the patriarch Ma about the strange mountain he and Su Yu'er encountered, as well as all kinds of strange phenomena nearby, and when the patriarch heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion.
