There is only one street in Xingminxu, which is essentially the only way up the mountain.The street is about 200 meters long, and there are stalls on both sides of the street.Outsiders who have just entered the mountain gate, hired workers in the villa, and settled refugees can set up street stalls to sell things that they don't need but that others may need.

Bargainers, wanderers, and family outings all crowded on this narrow road.A small market is very lively.

Duan Shen led two followers and walked all the way from the street to the end of the street, until he reached the stairs up the mountain.They wanted to continue going up, but they were stopped by Zhuang Wei who was guarding the road.Villa Zhuangwei stated very seriously that only those who have the identity card of the villa, or because of summons, can go up the mountain and enter the villa.

Although the goal was not achieved, Duan Shen did not force it, after all, this investigation cannot reveal his identity.Anyway, along the way, many things he saw are enough to show that this villa has become a force outside of Chu.Although there is no apparent rebellion for the time being, their ability to rebel no doubt made Duan Shen secretly determined.

Most of the houses in the market were built to accommodate refugees, so no special shops were built.There are no restaurants, no cloth shops, and no specialized tea shops, rice shops, or inns.

However, in order to facilitate visitors to rest and rest, there is free tea supply in the market, but you must bring your own cups and bowls.Those who do business only need to set up a stall in a designated place, and small businesses are exempt from paying taxes.

But in order to make life more convenient for the residents, there is a department store in the villa, which specializes in selling various practical tools, daily necessities, and even food.This department store was established by Dule to attract gold coins.For this reason, Du Le also ordered a batch of daily necessities at the Commodity Wholesale Street in Fuyong City, and tried to choose some more practical commodities, such as single-color cloth, scissors, needlework, tableware, pottery pots, etc., which are currently unavailable in the villa. , and some commodities that could not be purchased in Chu State because of the turmoil.In comparison, even if it is a very ordinary object, it is much more exquisite than the handicrafts in Chu State, the price is right, and the sales volume is also very good.

Every time in the market, Du Le even asked the old housekeeper to arrange to kill a few pigs to sell in limited quantities. Even in troubled times, Du Le sometimes went to various foods such as fish, rice, flour, bacon, cooking oil, etc. Fuyong City market purchases are easy to bring over.Because there are not many, it is necessary to line up as soon as possible to buy.

Duan Shen walked back not far, and saw a long queue in front of the department store, and under the maintenance of the patrol team, they were shopping in an orderly manner.The refugees and the people are all praising the kindness of the owner of the villa, and they are all talking about the superior life of the villa.No one is dissatisfied with looking forward to working in the villa.

The more Duan Shen watched, the more startled he became, and the more he listened, the more worried he became. This villa will definitely become a disaster for the Chu State, because the people here have already forgotten the king's laws of the Chu Kingdom, and they are praising everything about the Villa.Duan Shen knew that even here, the royal family of Chu State had lost the hearts of the people.

From Duan Shen's point of view, he had to make a decision in this situation, which was to suppress and eliminate hidden dangers.

But if Duan Shen knows that Du Le still has an armed force of tens of thousands, or if he sends someone to represent the government to negotiate with Du Le, Du Le will definitely welcome peace, and he has no intention of going hostile to the government.I don't know if he will change his strategy.

Because Du Le was only dissatisfied with the government's hoarding of his food, he had no intention of replacing the Chu royal family.If Duan Shen can know and understand that Du Le is not from this world, and that everything here is just a tip of the iceberg for Du Le to live a stable life, Duan Shen will not make rash decisions later on.

The street is not long, so after Duan Shen finished shopping, he didn't think about staying for a while.Because they are all ordinary people, they are all crowded in the same street, which makes me, who is a royal family, very dissatisfied.Duan Shen decided to leave first and make plans after returning to Jinyang City.

Duan Shen is the prince, so he naturally knew that Chu State had reached an agreement with Qi State and Jin State to cede part of the northern territory.Instead, there is constant friction between Qi and Jin, and Chu guards the mountains and forests in the south.

But the Chu State has just stopped fighting, because the previous government's plunder, the royal family's laissez-faire, and the growing food panic eventually led to a wave of resistance in the country.A large number of refugees formed groups of bandits, who attacked the granaries in cities and towns and robbed food sites.

Faced with this situation, the royal family of Chu State is of course very jealous of these rogues being supported by local powerful forces.After all, rogues are rogues, they have no roots, and they will disperse as soon as they are beaten.But the powerful force is different. The royal family of Chu State used to be powerful.

Originally, after the war in the northern part of Chu State, several tyrants were strong and weak, so the royal family of Chu State did not want to guard against local armed forces so urgently. Even as long as the Qi and Jin countries stopped attacking, the royal family only wanted to close the city gates tightly. Self-healing.As long as the excess victims are almost dead, the government will come out to clean up the mess and give some food, and it will be over.

Duan Shen is a person with great ideals. The eldest prince died young, the second prince was stupid, the fourth prince was cowardly, and the fifth prince was young. How much he hoped that he could revitalize Chu and regain the lost land.So he can't tolerate any threats around him.

After the three of them left, Prince Shen immediately led the nearby guards back to Jinyang City.

Duan Shen thought for a long time along the way, and finally he decided to adopt a three-step plan for Xingminxu.

In the first step, the emperor decreed to appoint officials to take up positions in Xingminxu as a test.If it is finally found out that the villa has no objection, it will take over.

In the second step, if the officials cannot take office, then call some tyrants, even some rogues, or money or official positions to lure Yongxing Ruins and destroy them in one fell swoop.

The third step, if the previous two steps are unsuccessful, then you can only gather troops and send troops to rehabilitate.But this step is a bit difficult, mainly due to the lack of troops, and the northern army still has to guard against Qi and Jin.The soldiers of Jinyang City didn't even dare to open the city gate, because they were afraid of the reactionary attacks of bandits, refugees, and even disaster victims outside the city.

Duan Shen didn't know that, in fact, the Villa was a little aware of Duan Shen's arrival.More than a hundred imperial guards were stationed not far from the mountain, and they were discovered by the spies of the villa long ago.

It's just because these imperial guards all came from Jinyang City, and without Du Le's instructions, the villa warriors would not take the initiative to provoke them.

You know, the bandits in the mountain village around the mountain have been wiped out by the warriors of the villa.This is also one of the reasons why the surrounding people dare to travel to the Yongxingxu market.Therefore, the villa will not be completely unaware of such a big move by the imperial guards.

The newly appointed captain of the villa's samurai team and the highest armed commander of the villa - Feng Ping, was directly appointed by Du Le after his inspection.Feng Ping is in charge of the villa's external force defense, including exterminating bandits and bandits who invade the villa, as long as they are hostile to any party.

At this time, Feng Ping was standing on a hillside, looking at Prince Shen's team who were slowly entering Jinyang City.After the spies from the villa reported that they had heard of Prince Shen, he led three centurions to keep an eye on him.As long as they make any misconduct, Feng Ping will take people with him and wipe them all out.

Du Le didn't have any special affection for Chu State, and the government of Chu State even robbed him of his property, so he didn't have a good impression of him.Therefore, Du Le's instructions for the power of the villa created by himself is to develop it with all its strength, and people will not offend me, and I will not offend others, so don't pay too much attention to the Chu government.Du Le doesn't care, if he can't fight, can't he escape?

After the gate of Jinyang City was closed, Feng Ping returned to the villa with three centurions.After going back and forth, it was only after Feng Ping walked into the gate of the villa that he learned that the owner of the villa was coming tonight and was convening all the managers to discuss the grand plan of the villa.
