Zhang Tie has been accompanying his wife in the Zhulong Territory in recent months. Everything is going well in the Zhulong Territory. Some of the bloody people who entered the Yangui Mountains from Tongzhou last winter have been killed by the disciples of the Tielong Sect and the guard troops of the cities in the Zhulong Territory. In interception, killing and arrest, those bloody men not only looted and massacred a few scattered hunting households and one or two small villages in Yangui Mountain, causing hundreds of casualties, but they did not cause many problems to the entire Zhulong Territory, and this summer Tai There was no food harvest in various parts of Xia, but there was a bumper harvest in Zhulong Territory. The situation in Zhulong Territory was completely like two worlds from the situation in other prefectures and counties in Taixia.
After the blood people entered the Yangui Mountains and caused some casualties, Zhang Tie had ordered other hunters living in the Yangui Mountains to move out of the mountains, specially designated land, built forts, and settled close to the city. The hunters in Zhulong all took the salary provided by Zhulong, which was better than that of hunters. One by one, they became rangers in the Yangui Mountains of Zhulong, and became Zhang Tie's "buddies". Some experienced veterans Orion was even invited to the Candle Dragon Legion's station and hired as an instructor to teach the Candle Dragon Legion soldiers how to fight and survive in the mountains and forests.
Today, when food prices are skyrocketing, the harvest of summer grain in Zhulong Territory has made the people in the territory, as well as the noble families and country folks in the territory smile with joy. The entire Zhulong Territory is a prosperous scene.
In such an environment, if Zhang Tie hadn't heard his brother talk about the situation in Tongzhou, it would be difficult for Zhang Tie to imagine that the situation in some places in Taixia was already very serious.
Tongzhou first experienced a bloody disaster in the second half of last year. In the core area where the bloody disaster broke out, more than ten counties in Tongzhou were already covered with blood and smoke.
In the core area where the Bloody Rebellion broke out, the cities guarded by tall walls were fine, but outside the cities, the market towns and villages were the first to bear the brunt of the Bloody Rebellion, one after another. In the countryside, no chickens or dogs were left behind after the bloody man, they were burned to the ground, and countless people were exposed in the wilderness. The number of people killed, injured, and killed is innumerable.
The panic caused by the Blood Man caused people to rush into the city to take refuge. However, the city could only accommodate a limited population, and it was impossible for everyone to live in the city. As soon as the local government restricted the number of people entering the city and kept people out of the city, there have been thousands of civil unrest and conflicts since the end of last year.
The large group of bloody people were dispersed, but the scope of activities of the bloody people was wider, running around everywhere. From time to time, scattered bloody people jumped out and killed and robbed pedestrians and farmers in the wild or in the farmland. Things happened from time to time. Therefore, the panic caused by the bloody man has not been completely eliminated until now.
In the midst of this crisis, grain prices in Taixia have skyrocketed since the end of last year, and this year Tongzhou's summer grain harvest has failed in large areas. The places that had been ravaged by the Blood Man were largely abandoned in the wilderness, with less food supply and greatly affected commercial circulation.
There are more people living in the city, but the supply of daily necessities in the city has begun to decrease. The money everyone earns has not increased. Farmers have lost their harvests. Incomes in various fields related to agriculture have dropped sharply, while the cost of living has increased. Although Tongzhou Governments across the country have been providing disaster relief, but the situation in some places is still unclear. It's close to decay.
Zhang Yang went to Tongzhou this time because a transit material storage warehouse and an orchard garden invested by the Jinwu Business Group in Tongzhou were robbed and smashed by rioters, and some people of the Jinwu Business Group were killed or injured. Such things. This was the first time they met the Jinwu Merchant Group in Taixia, so Zhang Yang personally went to Tongzhou to deal with the matter.
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Zhang Tie really felt the situation outside the Zhulong Territory. In some places, it may be worse than I imagined. The situation in some places may be almost the same as the situation in the Hawaiian subcontinent during the demonic disaster.
"Is the loss suffered by the Jinwu Merchant Group in Tongzhou big this time?"
"The loss is not big, only more than three million gold coins in total. The Golden Crow Merchant Group's warehouse in Tongzhou lost more than 100,000 full-effect medicines as well as some stored grain, medicinal materials and some materials circulated and traded by the merchant group. The fruit trees of the business group were hit and there were some losses... "More than three million gold coins may be an astronomical figure for other business groups, but for the Jinwu Business Group and Zhang Yang, it is more than three hundred at this time. Ten thousand gold coins, just like others who said that more than three hundred gold coins made no sense at all. "It was just that a capable shopkeeper under the Jinwu Merchant Group was inspecting the warehouse at the time. It turned out that the shopkeeper and several guards around him were also guarding the warehouse. Some members of the business group were killed by the mob. After I arrived in Tongzhou, the leading mob members had been captured by people from the Sansi Yamen in Tongzhou. They were killed in public, which gave the Jinwu business group an explanation. The civil unrest slowly subsided..."
Zhang Tie shook his head. This is not a good sign. Although Taixia's government still has strong control over the local area, after the riot broke out, it could quickly quell the riot, control the situation, and catch those who led the trouble. , However, since such vicious civil unrest has occurred, it means that the situation in some places in Taixia has become very bad after experiencing blood disasters and food disasters.
Some ambitious people, those who want to enrich the country, those who are filled with resentment or who cannot see a way out, have already started to make trouble. This is not necessarily instigated by the Three-Eyed Society or the Tongtian Sect behind the scenes, but is due to human nature. With so many people in Taixia, it is impossible for everyone to be a good citizen, and everyone is a good man and a believer. Perhaps many people would not do anything in normal times. Those who go out of their way can be considered good people, but in the midst of catastrophic disasters and under some extreme circumstances, the dark and ugly side of human nature in many people will uncontrollably burst out.
Zhang Tie has seen too many such things after experiencing the destruction of the Weiyi subcontinent.
Even in times of peace, there are thousands of gangsters and evil lords on the wanted list of Taixia Tingwei Mansion, and there are even more miscellaneous people like Poisonous Wolf Zhu Liang. These people , when Taixia encountered a big problem, his head was still clear, and he still had the red line of defense against humans and demons in his heart, like his master Zhao Yuan, who directly entered the realm of the gods and pursued his own path, naturally he would not We can do something to add fuel to the fire in Taixia, but there is no guarantee that some people who are greedy and evil-minded will be behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire and fish in troubled waters to do something.
The elder brother's words suddenly reminded Zhang Tie that in addition to the demon clan, Tongtian Sect, and Tun Dang, he might have to face some enemies and situations that he could not imagine in the future in Taixia.
If the same riot happened in Zhulong County, facing those mobs, what would be the standard for him to kill or not to kill
As the two brothers talked, they walked towards the Zhang family's mansion. Along the way, all the maids, servants and even the guards of the Zhang family who saw Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie appearing at the same time quickly stopped in the distance. Saluting to the two of them, many people, especially the maids in the mansion, all
Today's Zhang brothers are no longer what they used to be. The Golden Crow Business Group has become the largest business group in the Northeast Governor's Mansion. Zhang Yang is very important, and Zhang Tie is even more famous throughout the world.
As the two brothers become more and more famous, the rules in the family become stricter and stricter. There are more and more manpower in the house, and the quality of the manpower is getting higher and higher.
Not to mention the maids and servants of the Zhang Mansion, even the first-level stewards in the Mansion probably rarely see brothers Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie walking side by side in the Mansion.
"Ah, that's the second young master. He's so young and he doesn't look older than me. Why does he feel like a handsome boy of seventeen years old..." After the two brothers Zhang Tie passed by, one of them saw the two brothers appear. The pretty maid in a green skirt who stopped at the side door of a garden in the mansion and hurriedly knelt down to perform the blessing ceremony. When she saw Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang walking away, she stood up and quietly vomited. Sticking out his tongue, he said to another pretty maid wearing a pink skirt next to him.
Both maids were carrying a flower basket in their hands. Among the flower baskets were freshly cut flowers from Zhang's garden. It seemed that the two of them had come to the garden to cut flowers and bring them to the house for decoration. .
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful and the young master hears it. The second young master is a knight. I heard from the guards in the mansion that the second young master's cultivation has reached an unpredictable level. Only then does his appearance remain unchanged and he is still young..." In addition, A maid in a pink dress whispered.
"Ah, I wonder if the second young master still needs someone to serve in the house..." The maid in a green dress said dreamily as she looked at the backs of Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang disappearing from the rockery fountain in the distance, her cheeks slightly red.
"Ha, little girl, you are in love, but I advise you to give up!" The maid in a pink skirt also sighed melancholy, and looked at the maid in a green skirt with her little lotus exposed. He looked at his sharp breasts, which were not too small, but could only hold a hand, and said with some frustration, "There is no place around the second young master that we can get close to. You just came to the house, Maybe you don’t know, but the second young master actually likes women with plump figures and mature temperaments. Little girls like you and me, the second young master usually doesn’t even look at them!”
"Does the Second Young Master like that kind of woman?"
"Of course, everyone in the house knows that you have never seen the second young master's wives and concubines. Among the second young master's wives and concubines, Mrs. Linda is like this. Many of the women brought back by the second young master from the subcontinent are also like this. I heard that even the princesses from the Guangnan Palace brought back by the Second Young Master are mature and beautiful. Haven’t you seen that the maids at the Second Young Master’s house are all much plumper..."
"The second young master likes mature women!" The maid in a green skirt widened her watery eyes and blurted out a straightforward sentence. After finishing speaking, she unconsciously lowered her head and glanced at her breasts. All of a sudden I felt like my dream was shattered in the blink of an eye... (.)
