Myriad Heavens Tribulation
Chapter 70
There are many wealthy households in Western Road City. They hold a lot of wealth, but like Pai Yao, they can’t get in. Wang Hong doesn’t have this habit.
In order to quickly control the city, Wang Hong spent a lot of money, first used the guest official token, and purchased hundreds of management servants through the Gold Coin Building.
Most of them were appointed to the surrounding towns and villages to serve as guards or other important positions, while a few remained in the city to assist him with various chores.
Western Road City's more powerful forces are basically entrenched in the city, and don't pay much attention to the surrounding towns, so Wang Hong's actions did not stimulate them.
As for the clan forces in the countryside, although stubborn, their own strength is limited. No one dares to offend him, the City Lord, on the surface.
This world is different from the ancient times in the previous life. There is no saying that imperial power will not go to the countryside. Whoever dares to make trouble in the countryside, wait for the powerhouse to come and slaughter the whole clan!
Even these forces in Western Road City, there are only three that can really give Wang Hong a high look, Loose Cedar Sword Sect, Western Road Wu Clan and Four Seasons Villa.
These three companies all have Innate Martial Artists supporting the scene. Even if Wang Hong can kill these three, he still has to consider the attitude of the Yun Prefecture Federation.
These forces already have a place in the Federation, even if they have no say.
But if Wang Hong, the City Lord, does too much, it is easy to cause small forces in the federation if the rabbit dies, the fox grieves.
It’s not a big problem to change to normal, but now it’s the Gui Prefecture invasion. Even in order to appease these people, Wang Hong has to roll back to Ming City in despair.
Of course, if you want to make trouble to this extent, unless Wang Hong kills a certain local Innate, according to their status in the federation, no one will pay any attention to how they cry.
After all, Wang Hong’s background is there. Even if not counting other identities, Poison Sect Wei Xiang alone can hold a large group of people.
So the three strongest local forces kept silent, and the other forces did not dare to stab them anymore.
These rateless small families can't even enter the gate of the Federation. Wang Hong slaughtered their entire family and will not have too much trouble.
When the Southern Heaven royal family ruled the Yun Prefecture in the early years, the law could also restrain the powerhouse and officials. Now the power of the Federation is obviously insufficient, or they did not want to take care of small forces and civilians.
As long as the City Lord appointed by the Federation is strong enough and is not afraid of being backlashed by local forces, the power is astonishing, and it has the right to live and kill the local people.
Of course, those rural clans are not willing to give up their power. They wanted to secretly stumble upon the people sent by Wang Hong and make these people unable to stay there.
But Wang Hong's next great generosity made these rural clans completely unafraid to confront.
The three thousand tons of frozen meat he bought at a time before, so far, there are still about one-sixth, that is, one million catties.
At present, he can't deal with those Ming City meat vendors, and the meat business in Western Road City is too small for Wang Hong.
So instead of taking up the cold storage power consumption of the remaining frozen meat, Wang Hong simply used it as a meeting ceremony and distributed it to all the people on Western Road.
Regardless of age, rich or poor, each person distributes five catties of frozen meat, which is distributed by the person sent by Wang Hong.
Although Western Road is relatively wealthy thanks to the smuggling business, it is only the patent of the upper-class people. Ordinary people are still a rare encounter once a year. His new City Lord is such a great generosity, and it is natural to take people's hearts. Not difficult.
The fatality issue has not yet subsided, and Wang Hong has another more ruthless plot.
Of the twenty-four townships under the jurisdiction of Western Road, eight will be exempted from all agricultural taxes, eight half-taxes, and eight full-taxes by the end of the year. The specific standards are determined by the work efficiency of the staff assigned by Wang Hong Decide.
As soon as this regulation was promulgated, the entire Western Road was fried, not to mention the troubles of the rural clans, and all of them worked hard to cooperate with the officials.
Even if some people do not want to lose their power, they cannot resist the wishes of the entire clan.
The implied content of even more how tax exemption is more than just superficial.
Either Wang Hong will have enough power in the federation to allow those big masters to agree to tax exemption.
Either Wang Hong would have to spend more than 200,000 silver tael subsidies on his own in order not to be held accountable at the end of the year.
Regardless of the possibility, this means that the forces behind the new City Lord are definitely not something they can resist, even if they can resist secretly!
The group of people sold by Gold Coin Building to Wang Hong, although their own strength is average, but their management skills are very good.
With the cooperation of the local clan, in just over a month, Initial Mastery was established in all towns and villages on Western Road.
The goal of 1st Step is completed. With the support of more than 100,000 people, Wang Hong has more courage to do things.
In the second month of serving as City Lord, he proposed to build a new Western Road City, and the location of the city was actually at the Ira Pass at the border of Yun Prefecture and Pugan!
The concept of this world's territory is similar to that of Xia Country in ancient times. Most of them are bounded by mountain range and rivers, and the actual dividing line is very vague.
Places like the Yila Pass are not worth competing for. In the past, both sides would deliberately avoid this place to avoid accidental conflicts.
Now that Wang Hong wants to build a city in this place, he can't say that he has crossed the boundary, but the Modi County of Pugan Country on the opposite side also has reason to trouble Western Road City.
However, the benefits are also obvious. Once a city is established at the Yila Pass, the more than 600 square kilometers of land between Western Road City and the new city will be peace of mind.
There are many small rivers passing by in this area. Even if it is roughly developed, Western Road City can add two to three million acres of high-quality arable land.
Wang Hong’s plan is adventurous, but the local forces in Western Road City are almost entirely supported.
Because once a new city is established at the Yila Pass, the smuggling business between the two countries will completely take the initiative in their hands.
Smugglers in the northern part of the Pagan country, even if they buy a large amount of goods in Yun Prefecture, they cannot transport them back to the country through the Yila Pass.
There are Hundred Thousand Great Mountains between Pugan and Southern Heaven. There are only two commercial roads that can be used for supply vehicles. The Tianling Pass in the south is relatively spacious, but the garrison is extremely strict.
Ira Mountain Pass Road in the north is far from talking about, and the surrounding counties and counties do not produce much, so the federation is too lazy to station troops here, only paying attention to the City Lord issue.
But for businessmen, as long as they can make money, all difficulties are not a problem.
In the past, there were many merchants on both sides who smuggled across the Yila Pass.
But the cities on both sides of the mountain pass are smuggled old oil, so the price will naturally be lion's big mouth.
This allows many foreign merchants to take a long way to go and sneak into the mainland to purchase goods, and they don't want to be eaten up by the local forces.
In the past, the people of Western Road City couldn't help it. The area around the Yila Pass is vast and there are many rivers, so it is impossible to monitor it closely.
As for blocking people at the mountain pass, the local forces in Western Road City really dare not do it.
The division of that place is very vague. If you dare to go there to block people, Pugan’s expert dares to ambush you in turn, and when the time comes, they dare not avenge people.
So now Wang Hong wants to build a city on the Yila Pass, the local forces are naturally very welcome.
