I have the best bloodline.

Nowadays, things are different from the past. If you want to drink a glass of flower wine, you don't have any silver. Now, in the government's warehouse, excluding taxes and public funds, you can squander more than 40,000 kilograms of spiritual stones, more than ten thousand taels of gold, and no silver taels. There are countless pieces of jewelry that have been cashed out.

In less than a month, the government office went from living a tight life to becoming rich and powerful. It also took back the operating rights of Goulan and gambling houses. If you want to open Goulan and gambling houses in Flower City, you need to apply.

Su Yan would patronize anyone who dared to set up a gambling house privately. After patronizing them, they would disappear automatically.

Legal and compliant operations are the right way to operate. Those that are illegal, non-compliant and do not pay taxes naturally need to be banned.

"Hey! Master, go and ask Brother Su to come over. Business is coming and he needs to be there to receive it."

Zhou You had a carefree face. He put his feet on the magistrate's long table and polished the article in his hand. He glanced outside the door and saw some rich old men. He turned his head to look at the monkey squatting on the long table, studying ink. said.

"squeak--"

The monkey named Shi Ye responded, then turned and ran to the backyard to call Su Yan, who was really practicing cultivation.

The number of monkeys in the official office increased greatly, from the five given by my aunt at the beginning to twenty-five.

Fifteen monkeys are responsible for clerkships and stay in the study to manage Flower City's account books and tax calculations, while the three monkeys are responsible for recording work at the front desk, such as finding out the corresponding laws of Xia Yu and local laws when judging cases, and recording judgments. A written record of the case process.

The remaining seven are responsible for daily living, such as washing and folding quilts.

"What happened so early in the morning?"

Su Yan straightened his collar and walked into the back hall, looked at some new and familiar faces, and asked.

"Hahaha, it's nothing serious. Just two of my friends want to invite Mr. Su for tea. I wonder if Mr. Su has time to go to Goulan next door for a little while."

Lao Dai, who had been sent to the streets by Su Yan before, was released from prison after paying a bail of 300 kilograms of spiritual stones. After being released from prison, Lao Dai changed his mind and joined the Flower Bureau to work as a broker.

There are some things that the county magistrate is not easy to talk about, so brokers like Lao Dai need to talk about the next direction of the flower area's strategy, so that the brokers can attract enough funds and traders to the government office.

Su Yan accepted everyone's invitation with a smile and moved to the Goulan on the street opposite the official office. Lao Dai directly asked the talented ladies inside to serve the most tedious task of grinding tea.

Grinding tea is now Matcha. The young buds of spring tea are picked and made into tea powder. The brewing process is complicated and is often used by literati to compete in tea brewing skills.

In addition to ground tea, Goulan also has the more common types of sencha and brewed tea.

Lao Dai opened his mouth and ordered milled tea. Apart from being expensive, it was actually a secret code.

He was telling Su Yan that these strangers in front of him were all rich and busy people. If they worked hard slowly, they could extract more tribute money and send it to the government.

Ordering sencha means that the visitor has something to ask for, but it does not necessarily require the official to come forward.

Making tea is an ordinary form of friendship. There are not so many things to discuss, and it is a form of relationship building.

After the broker gives the host a thorough understanding, the host will know how to negotiate with the visitors in front of him.

"Ahem. Magistrate Su, I heard from Lao Dai that our government office is currently planning to develop the southern Xinjiang region."

Not long after sitting in the box, one of the strangers directly explained the reason for his visit and wanted to ask Su Yan about the affairs in Southern Xinjiang.

Regarding the planning of the southern Xinjiang region, he had actually heard about it from Lao Dai a long time ago. He even knew the details very clearly and was ready to invest a fortune in it. However, what Lao Dai said and what Su Yan personally guaranteed should not be confused with each other.

He wanted to get a guarantee from Su Yan.

"Unlike our flower plain landform, southern Xinjiang is mostly mountainous and forested, and the fields are mostly terraced structures that are not suitable for large-scale planting." Su Yan said unhurriedly:

"Then you should also have heard from Lao Dai that the business we do is all one-time business. Taking advantage of the frequent wars in southern Xinjiang to buy bargains, we are betting that the industrial value of southern Xinjiang will increase after Xia Yu is included in it."

Everyone was talking about different things. The stranger in front of Old Dela was obviously a businessman from the Flower District or the Red Prince's Mansion.

What they wanted was visible rewards, not excessive long-term benefits. Therefore, after judging the stranger's intentions, Su Yan did not talk to him about business or workshops, but truthfully told him what he could learn from above. What kind of money do you make?

He also explained the risks of investment and the points of profit in the future. It was up to him to decide whether to pay the fee for boarding the ship. Su Yan did not force them.

With the support of the Hua clan and the Yao clan, Su Yan has now begun to infiltrate southern Xinjiang.

When it's almost time to plunder the merchants, just go to the Red Prince's Mansion and make a report. Anyway, Taishi Jin agrees with his plan. He will first go to various places in the southern Xinjiang region to co-opt low-priced land, and part of it will be used in the future. Part of the sugar factory layout was sold off when King Chi announced that the occupation would stabilize the situation, allowing subsequent Xia Yu merchants to take over and withdraw funds.

If there is land suitable for large-scale planting, Su Yan will introduce it to the landlords and wealthy people. They prefer the sense of stability of long-lasting water to quick money.

"Feel."

The stranger looked thoughtful, a little unsure about the business matters Su Yan said, so he turned his head and looked at Lao Dai with a hint of embarrassment, gesturing for him to speak.

"Master Su is like this. My brother and I are like-minded and like stability. Don't you have anything good to introduce to him? My good brother used to have his head tied to his pants."

Old Dai said with a smile on his face. As a broker who knows both sides, he rejected the business that Su Yan mentioned. As a price, the stranger needs to pay further tribute to the government office before he can get some guarantees from Su Yan.

"Of course there are stable businesses, but those businesses require a large amount of cash to be accumulated. Not every business can afford such a large amount of cash."

Su Yan smiled lightly and was about to brag about those good things for long-term investment.

But a gust of evil wind outside the window and the sky suddenly darkened, interrupted Su Yan's speech, making him unable to help but look back, and the evil spirit and pressure spread to the city.

Su Yan stopped his speech directly, ran to the window sill and stuck his head out to look at the scenery outside.

A dark blue demonic cloud was floating from the southern border area to the flower area, heading north.

The demonic cloud would only appear when a group of demons gathered. There were more than one or two hundred demons in that dark cloud.

Moreover, for the demonic cloud to appear, there needed to be a powerful demon beast leading the group of demons to swim quickly, which would make the other demons excited and unable to control their demonic power to leak out and form a demonic cloud.

Chapter 337 Ao Renlin Reappeared

The dark blue clouds that covered the sky and the sun moved quickly to the sky above the Flower City with gusts of demonic wind and pressure.

Su Yan, who was originally negotiating business in the brothel, seemed to sense something. He leaned out from the third-floor window sill of the brothel and looked at the clouds in the sky with a frown.

"It feels a little bit wrong! How can there be so many demons gathering here? This is not the Eastern Province, the base camp of the demons."

Su Yan had never seen the demon cloud with his own eyes. He only knew that in order to gather a demon cloud, at least a demon king level, which is equivalent to a human earth immortal, and thousands of demons gathered together to form a very unique movement method like the demon cloud.

The demon king takes the lead in leading the demons to patrol, so that they can move quickly without missing a single demon beast.

"Could my father be in there?"

After being shocked by the appearance of the demon cloud, Su Yan suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Su Yan is very familiar with the Southern Province. His hometown is a place where demon cultivators run rampant. Little demons will be slapped twice when passing by people's doors. There has never been a large-scale gathering of demons in the Southern Province.

To be able to stand up in the Southern Province, the demons must be either strong in their own strength.

Or they are like Su Yan, who has the support of a demon king-level demon and can enjoy the shade under a big tree.

The southern states do not have the conditions for the appearance of demon clouds. When it comes to the large-scale gathering of demons, Su Yan naturally thinks of the early morning when Black Dragon Dad said that his father led a group of Nightmare Town followers to attack Bai Ze.

In addition to the behind-the-scenes factors of the dragon clan's long-cherished wish, Su Yan felt that the dragon clan actually also raised and supported the Nightmare Town sect. Therefore, when he saw the demon cloud appear, Su Yan naturally had a strange idea in his heart.

Could my father be in it too?

"What happened to Master Su?"

Old Dai and the stranger saw Su Yan sitting on the windowsill as if he was thinking about something, and there were waves of strong and gloomy pressure from the sky, which made them think that it might be the witches from the Southern Xinjiang District who came to attack?

"No, nothing happened. The Southern Xinjiang Daoist sect has been besieged by the Red King's army. You don't need to worry."

Su Yan looked at the dark and blue clouds that were gradually receding and approaching the Red King's Mansion. He turned around and looked at Lao Dai and the three strangers and said:

"It's just that compared to the Southern Xinjiang region, things in the sky seem to be more troublesome now. You can drink tea and have lunch first. I will discuss business with you later."

After Su Yan said that, he jumped directly from the window sill of the brothel to the street, rushed forward, flashed back to the government office to prepare to grab weapons, and followed the demon cloud to the Red King's Mansion to investigate the situation and see if his father was mixed in that group of demon clouds.

"So you drink tea?"

The stranger looked at Lao Dai, and then looked at the other two people who came to the government office to apply for brothel and gambling house licenses, and asked everyone whether to run or drink tea after pondering.

"Hmm, let's have some tea?"

Old Dai glanced at the sky. The demon cloud had moved away from the Flower City to the Red King's territory. He was very confident and invited the three people to sit in front of the tea table to chat. He said:

"The dark clouds in the sky must be disaster clouds. It must be that the Red King had done too many evil things in the past, and God is going to take him away!"

"? If God takes the Red King away, the Red King's army in the southern border area will not mutiniate and occupy the mountains to become kings, right?"

"What are you talking about? The death of the Red King is not the death of our supreme Emperor Wusheng. Sit down, let's wait for Master Su to come back. Whether you can make money or not is up to Master Su. What's the difference between being alive but not making money and being dead!"

Old Dai sneered and began to comfort the three people.

……………………

The demon cloud that suddenly stirred up also attracted the attention of the clans in the Flower Region. The three earth immortals of the Flower Family, the Demon Clan and the Mountain God thought about it at the same time, and reluctantly and slowly set out from home.

The demon cloud was obviously heading for Chi Wang or Xia Yu. The three immortals were unwilling to cause trouble even if there was nothing wrong, especially since they were going to help Chi Wang settle the matter this time. However, given the current situation, they had no choice but to go.

If Chi Wang really died here, no one could bear the blame from Emperor Wusheng.

The three immortals could either not play or just do nothing, but they must be present at the scene, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

The demon cloud was also noticed in Chi Wang's mansion, and Chi Wang's adjutant quickly notified Chi Wang, who was counting the spirit stones in the secret room.

Chi Wang thought about it, picked up his storage ring without saying a word, and turned around and ran to the top floor of Luoheju.

Master Jin looked at King Chi with a confused look on his face. King Chi said with a slightly embarrassed look on his face:

"That's the dragon clan. They came to you when you started fighting. As you know, King Chi's mansion had just experienced the Bai Ze disaster and was rebuilt not long ago."

Master Jin waved his hand and said, "I can't demolish your house. There are just some things that need to be discussed."

King Chi had never provoked the dragon clan, and the dragon clan passed by so powerfully, the only thing King Chi could think of was that the dragon clan came to trouble Master Jin.

Master Jin, Master Jin, although the name is called that, the full name of Master Xia Yu is Ao Jin.

Not calling the surname but only the name is also to avoid suspicion. The Xia Yu Dynasty recruited talents and beasts from all over the world, but it was only for individuals who were willing to join Xia Yu, not for the tribe.

Those who joined Xia Yu naturally had to give up their past.

The surname Ao is unique to the dragon clan in the demon clan. Other demon clans do not have such names. Therefore, in formal occasions, Grand Master Ao Jin would only call himself Grand Master Jin.

"Roar——"

The giant dragon with black and shiny scales and faintly exposed the cold light of star frost poked its head out from the clouds, roared, and called the Nightmare Town demon clan that followed it.

The black dragon broke through the demon cloud layer, and its body gradually shrank back to a young man of about 1.6 meters. The black robe was whistling in the high-altitude wind during the rapid descent. The body was wrapped in the cold wave and fell directly to the pavilion platform on the top floor of Luoheju.

"You stay in the box."

After seeing Ao Renlin, Grand Master Jin glanced at the Red King beside him and told him to stay in the box.

Grand Master Jin knew Ao Renlin's intention, and the things to be discussed next could not be peeped by outsiders, even in the Dragon Clan, only the senior officials and elders could know.

……………………

On the other side, in the flower fields.

"Would you like to try the loquat fruit? The spiritual fruit."

Su Yan returned to the government office, took out the small fairy boat used for urgent letters from the warehouse, and rushed to the Red King's Mansion at a high speed.

But on the way there, he happened to meet the three immortals who were preparing to paddle in the flower area. Seeing that the official immortal boat was moving slowly, the three immortals boarded the boat to take a ride.

"Old Mountain God. Aren't you a big orange tree?"

Su Yan watched the old mountain god take out the orange and translucent loquat fruit emitting spiritual power fluctuations from his head, and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.

Last time, Su Yan got some tangerine peel tea produced by the old mountain god from the head of the Hua family, but this time, the old mountain god took out a loquat from his own tree crown?

"Don't mind the fruit, it's just a hairstyle." The old mountain god turned his head with a smile on his face, took out a lingonberry from his green tree crown, and said:

"Not only tangerines, lingonberries, and loquats, but also lychees and longans in a few days! But those seasonal fruits are not for you to eat"

Su Yan: "."

Good guy. Old mountain god, you grafted the branches of the fruits you like to eat onto the branches of your own tree crown so that you can eat them yourself, right?

"Roar!"

Just when the old mountain god was showing off his skills, a shocking dragon roar broke out above the Red King's Mansion, attracting the three immortals and Su Yan's group on the boat to look over.

A pitch-black dragon emerged from the clouds, and then quickly retracted and landed on the landmark building of the Red King's Mansion.

"Fuck."

When Su Yan saw the pitch-black dragon, he called out unconsciously.

The person inside the demon cloud is really his father!

.Fuyang is fine, but it seems that he is not fine, so he went to see a Chinese doctor to prepare for recuperation.

Then the process of picking up medicine is more fantastic than a novel.

First of all, medicinal materials are divided into ordinary and fine.

To put it bluntly, fine medicinal materials are selected good goods, and their appearance and color are different from ordinary ones.
