I will hunt down this world

Looking at Liu Yan who bowed slightly, his eyes did not show any aggression, but revealed a kind of calmness and strength, a kind of aura that had been in the upper class for a long time spontaneously emerged.

Lifting up his right hand and letting Xia Shihan guide Liu Yan into his seat, Li Shun asked:

"Your envoy and Deacon Liu Yi of Tianjie, don't you know...?"

"That's my brother." Liu Yan smiled helplessly, "I'm ashamed to say that the Liu family has always been strict in running the family, but he has an informal nature and is not tolerant of common affairs. He likes to welcome and send off guests and friends, shouting up and down, helplessly. Under the circumstances, he can only be sent to the heavenly ranks to be a deacon."

This is not a helpless complaint, this is a show of muscle, what kind of family can use the word "manage the family", and the heavenly ranks connect the earth and the sky, there are many nobles walking, and the interests are linked, it is indeed not a "vulgar family" service".

Anyone who "dismisses" anyone can go to that position. Obviously, the Liu family has a lot of energy in the bureaucratic system of Chang'an.

Cups, huh?

Li Shun smiled slightly, nodded and said:

"I'm ashamed, I linger on the ground, never look up to the sound of heaven, and now I see Mr. Liu, I know who is the Chang'an Gaomen. Your brother is magnificent and personable, and your envoy is gentle and refined. Seeing him forgets the vulgar. Such a talent, I have seen it all over the capital. There are few nobles who can surpass them."

In the land of China today, one capital and one capital stand side by side. The so-called capital of course refers to Ming capital and Li capital.

Li Shun praised Liuyan, but he was actually implying that he had traveled far and wide, had extensive knowledge, and a complicated network of relationships, and this was far from his focus.

The point is that he said a long sentence in classical Chinese.

Classical Chinese can also be called elegant language. It is an elegant and written language used by ancient people. At the same time, it is also different from contemporary languages ​​in terms of phonology and tone. It has a long history and can even It goes back to an ancient era that is even longer than the Twelve Kingdoms in the old calendar.

But the problem is, now it is 120 years of the fucking Ming calendar, hundreds of years have passed, who still speaks so hard?

Yes, only the gang of nobles who have passed down a long history and boasted of being noble.

Today, the communication between people has become more and more simple and clear. Because of various inconveniences, classical Chinese has long since disappeared from the lives of most people.

However, in the eyes of the old aristocracy, this way of communication is too common and does not highlight their noble status, so until now, classical Chinese is still used by the old aristocrats and even some people related to the aristocratic circle.

Some old aristocrats in the Twelve Kingdoms era still held great power in this era. They believed that the use of classical Chinese by non-nobles was an insult to the status of the nobles, so they simply blocked the learning channels of classical Chinese and did not allow it to be spread outside.

In other words, people who can still speak large passages of classical Chinese these days, or write a few sentences from time to time, are not nobles but also have noble backgrounds.

For example, Liu Yan, with a few casual words, invisibly revealed his sense of superiority as an old aristocrat.

Li Shun didn't show any weakness, and fought back even more vigorously. Liu Yan was still a little half-literate, he was more pure than Liu Yan, and he was simply showing his noble "identity".

Of course Li Shun is not a nobleman, he has lived in the small dojo in Xicheng for 15 years, a standard commoner, he has never received any noble education in his life, only received hunter education.

He can speak classical Chinese because of a man named "Grand Master" in Twelve Days, this man is the backbone of the unification faction. When Li Shun was about to die in 116, he was the one who negotiated.

Most of the members of the Unification Faction are of noble origin, so they covet the power held by the old aristocratic groups in the Yefu Mansion, and thus have the idea of ​​​​unifying and establishing a political system.

Although the great master is a sun hunter, he has always been proud of his identity as a descendant of the old aristocrats. His mouth is full of classical Chinese, and he doesn't speak human language at all.

In order to achieve his goal, Li Shun had many exchanges with him, and learned a little bit by the way.

However, [Shen Zhou], who is also from the same old aristocratic background, and even has a higher family lineage than the great master, does not have this stinky problem. He is also arrogant, but it is still different from the arrogance that the great master looks down on.

Having said that, Liu Yan's face changed slightly when he heard the words, realizing that the other party was not that kind of pure upstart, so his attitude also changed slightly.

"Mr. Bai, I must have traveled all the way, and the journey has been exhausting. If you have any discomfort, don't hesitate to say it. In the name of a sage, Chang'an will do its best to meet your needs."

"I will." Li Shun nodded.

Liu Yan opened the compressed bag she carried with her, took out a box of ink pads, put it on the table and pushed it towards Li Shun, explaining:

"Today's visit is to convey the council's greetings to Mr. Bai, and at the same time to officially hand over Ms. Xia's contract to you."

contract?

Li Shun raised his eyebrows suspiciously, he only saw a box of ink pads, and Liu Yan didn't seem to have any intention of bringing out anything else.

His doubts did not last long.

"There is no document for this contract. You just need to use your seal to dip some ink pad and use it on the designated place on Miss Xia's body. After that, she will conclude the strongest contract with you. From now on, she will only be loyal to you and will never betray you."

"Even the person who cultivated her can't order her anymore?"

"Of course it's impossible." Liu Yan smiled, "She can't go against it, and she won't be willing to go against your will, you just have to try it."

"After special training, they have become rare talents. Not only are they proficient in various skills, they can take care of all the affairs in your life, and there are many wonderful things in them. I can't say more, after you use the seal , self-experience."

Why do you always feel that you are implying something indecent?

Li Shun slandered, noncommittal.

At this point, the matter has actually been finished, but Liu Yan has no intention of leaving.

He lowered his voice a little and asked:

"It is said that Mr. Bai ran into the Mingguang Sect yesterday, and then Kang Jinlong's General Luo sent you an invitation?"

"Well, there is this matter, I am thinking about it."

Hearing this, Liu Yan quietly handed over another seal letter.

Li Shun glanced at it, and it was engraved with four inscriptions [Tianshi Walking].

"Chang'an is divided into three walls and 28 mansions, and the pattern is like the stars Gong Beichen."

Liu Yan read Sanyuan and 28su separately, and then focused on putting the accent on Sanyuan.

"Someone asked me to hand over this item to you as a token of my affection."

--------

Chapter 51 Make me healthy!

"What does that mean?"

Li Shun did not take the seal letter.

"Walking is a special job under Migaki, and it can also be called [dispatch]. It does not go through the city contribution system that you know, and it cannot accumulate city contribution, but it does not need to take responsibility like a contribution job , and there are even evaluation requirements, on the contrary, with the dispatch of walking, you have the power to act cheaply."

Liu Yan paused and emphasized again:

"In the name of Sanyuan, the power to mobilize Chang'an's resources to act cheaply at any time and place."

"Have power but no obligation? There is no such good thing, what do I need to pay?" Li Shun didn't hide, and asked straightforwardly.

"Friendship, the friendship between you and Sanyuan, this is the most important thing."

Liu Yan spread his hands and said with a smile:

"Of course, if in addition to this, you are willing to have more contacts with Sanyuan, such as some news that is insignificant to you, or to let Sanyuan borrow your resources, it is naturally your wish. As for molestation, if you wish, you don’t have to worry about Miyaki’s gift in return.”

The implication is that it has the priority to trade with Sanyuan, as well as the resources to develop himself into Sanyuan.

"Is this mandatory?" he frowned.

"Of course not. Sanyuan has always regarded distinguished guests with authority as collaborators with equal status, especially you have Canglong level authority."

Liu Yan clapped her hands indiscriminately, and added:

"Canglong-level authority means that you are either rich or noble, with superhuman strength, financial resources, resources, contacts, etc. For a noble person like you, obviously you can't use the old way to deal with it, and accumulate city contribution bit by bit. It will make you feel constrained, and you will not have a sense of belonging to Changan."

"Oh~" Li Shun dragged his voice a little longer, "It seems that your purpose is to make guests feel at home."

"Yes, as expected of Mr. Bai, you can understand that we are the best." Liu Yan patted.

Li Shun thought for a while, then reached out to take the [Tianshi Walking] seal and put it in his arms.

He would agree to Xia Shihan's return, so he guessed that the purpose of the council's visit was not simple.

It's just a maid's contract. Although the way of concluding the contract is a bit strange, directly stamping Xia Shihan's body can't help but make Li Shun have some not-so-good associations, but the tricky thing is nothing more than ink pad and Xia Shihan. Han's body is so big that it can be handed over to Li Shun when he is in the sky.

The governing council has specially arranged such a "door-to-door submission" process in a serious manner. It is strange that there is no other purpose.

It is nothing more than taking the opportunity to conduct a preliminary observation and contact with the rich and powerful with the authority of the Canglong level, to do some research, screening, wooing, or simply looking for some more investment.

Isn't this so-called "Tianshi Walking" just here?

The person behind Liu Yan directly offered an official position of [Tianshi Walking] that is not in the city contribution system. What is the concept?Just to make an official?

If you just think that way, then you think these people are too simplistic.

This is actually an act of subverting Chang'an's official system and even the core concept of the Sky City project.

Various positions in Chang'an are replaced by city contribution points. When Li Shun saw the contribution system, he had already seen the essence through the phenomenon-this set of things is actually what supports the city. skeleton.

From the abnormally low conversion rate of assets into contribution, he can see that the essence of this urban contribution system is not to encourage blind spending of money, but to encourage labor to create value.

This is an incentive to actively participate in urban construction, and it has played a very good role in the early days when Sky City was first built.

However, now, although this system has not been abandoned, there are many openings. For example, donations can be used to increase contribution, such as "permission dogs", and for example... those who directly bypass the Changan official system come from three The so-called "dispatch" authorized by Yuan Yuan.

For Li Shun, this is a clear signal for him to understand and confirm the situation in Chang'an.

According to the information he obtained from Xu Miaoyun in advance, the conflict between Sanyuan and 28su in Chang'an—that is, the [Communication Council] and [Star Domain Official Chamber]—has become more and more acute.

The two sides used to be able to maintain a basic consistency externally, at least doing a good job on the surface. However, in recent years, even the surface work has not been in place, and it will not be far when the picture is poor.

This matter had always remained on the paper that Li Shun had read, but now that Liu Yan's arrival made the struggle on the paper three-dimensional in his eyes.

Chang'an, the city in the sky, seems to be peaceful and stable, but in fact, the factors of instability have accumulated to a certain extent, and it is obvious that quite a few people are already ready to move.

Li Shun even speculated that the incident caused by the Oblivion Sect in July may be inseparable from the conflict between the two parties.

Of course, Chang'an people will not casually reveal their shortcomings to the outside world. So far, the friction between the two sides has been considered cautious on the whole, but since the chaos has already occurred, how can it stop because of a temporary cover-up, and it will only explode more violently in the end.

In fact, there are still many mysteries in it, such as why the organization of sages was renamed the General Council?Why and how did the governing council oppose the Star Domain official cabinet?And Liu Yan, besides mentioning the council at the beginning, what does this person mean by "Sanyuan" and "we" all the time later?

But it doesn't matter, this is exactly to Li Shun's appetite.

The situation is chaotic?The more chaotic the better, as a top hunter, he is best at taking advantage of the situation and profiting from the chaos. If he initially connects with the commanding council, the nominal master of Chang'an City, he will be able to have enough for anything that happens afterwards. The ability to create situations that are powerful to oneself.

Apart from other things, it is currently known that [Tianli General Assembly] will be offline and put into production at the end of the year. At that time, the governing council will invite all forces in China to come to Chang'an to observe the ceremony. , What kind of place of right and wrong will Chang'an become by then.

It will only be two months until the end of the year, but what's worse is that once the people who were lured to Lidu by Lin Yesha can't find any clues in Lidu, they will naturally turn their attention to other places, such as Chang'an.

This time will not even take two months. Li Shun predicts that the longest safe time for Lian Linxi is one month. After one month at most, there will inevitably be prying eyes in Chang'an.

To solve Lian Linxi's problem once and for all, one needs to wait for some opportunities. Before the opportunities appear, in any case, all undercurrents must be blocked.

Lord Lian Ye, who died young, gave him a kindness again. This kind of kindness that he thought could never be repaid, now falls on Lian Linxi, not to mention that he already has something unclear about the clear spring breeze in his heart. There is no need to say more about how to act.

And a person's power always has a limit, even a monarch can't resist the general trend, so he has to exchange and connect as much as possible in Chang'an City to create a foundation that can cope with the turbulent undercurrent.

"It's not too late, let's make a deal first. What does Sanyuan need?"

"Kang Jinlong's investigation progress, the latest developments, the internal orders of the official room...you can take anything you think is valuable." Liu Yan said in a deep voice.

"It's so shabby, I can give you more."

Li Shun raised the corner of his mouth, slightly opened his right hand, showing a strong control, and the momentum of the audience seemed to surge with the opening of this hand.

"I can guide Luo Lizhi's investigation and let her act according to our ideas."

He grinned, showing his white teeth, but like a shark that wants to eat:

"Then, oh no, Sanyuan, what can you give me? Come, let me see."

Chapter 52 I'm already researching the way to die

Before leaving, Liu Yan left a business card.

【Zhongtian Society】

On the pure black hard business card, there is nothing but a series of numbers and a hot stamped name.

This is the bargaining chip given by Sanyuan, or the person behind Liu Yan.

When Li Shun saw the name, he didn't even need to hold the business card in his hand. He knew that the paper used for the business card was a rare special paper made by grinding and refining black diamonds in a special way.

Black diamond is actually a kind of mineral. Not only is it exquisite in appearance, it can become a luxury item after being polished. It is also known to have the highest spiritual sensitivity among all known minerals. It has multiple uses in industry and spiritual energy development. Its value Recognized by unanimous approval, it has naturally become a precious equivalent in this troubled age.

The most valuable equivalent of today's business card paper for random distribution is the ultimate luxury.

To be able to spend so much money like water, because Zhongtian Society is a giant that mainly mines black diamonds and various rare minerals and metals. Its industries spread all over the north and south of China. The object of in-depth cooperation, and now it seems that Zhongtian Society is also quite powerful in Chang'an.

Indeed, as the fastest-growing investment outlet in the past 30 years, how could Chang'an not attract such a huge interest group?

Only such a monster-level chaebol who specializes in black diamond mining and processing and spans various industries can casually use this method to show his strength.
