Let’s put it this way, these young monks are just like ordinary college students who have just entered college and think that they will be able to earn $100,000 a month in the future and reach the peak of their lives.

Only those who are old and have been beaten will leave inheritance and hope to the next generation.

"Are these monks really like this?" Ashiger felt a little more angry.

After hearing what Shen Lang said, he already believed it a little.

Although he wanted to report Shen Lang, he also felt the same way as Shen Lang said!

I remember that when he was attacking a county called Ping'an County, he captured a scholar and wanted to make him his clerk.

The results of it?

That scholar had just entered the realm of transcendence and had only read some crappy books for a few days. He was not yet a powerful cultivator.

The scholar looked at him as if he were a wild beast, an untamed wild dog.

He still remembers the scholar's eyes.

Even if a knife was placed on his neck, he would just say with a mocking look on his face: "You beasts who only know how to kill, you want me to surrender? Dream on! I have studied the books of sages for ten years, not to be a clerk for garbage."

Ashiger cut off one of his arms, but he still stood there straight, saying: "A real man would rather die standing than live on his knees. If you don't kill me, as long as I have a breath left, I will fight you to the death!"

Afterwards, when he arrived at Muyun City, Ashige became the chief historian and also thought about communicating with the monks of the Great Zhou.

Because of his status, those monks who came to seek refuge would also communicate with him.

However, those cultivators have a natural sense of superiority, as if the cultivators of the Great Zhou are superior and the others are inferior.

Even when communicating with Zhou Tianjing, they were still looking at themselves from a very high perspective.

When one reaches the Zhoutian realm, the status of a cultivator is greatly elevated, and the Wolf Lord has issued a strict ban on touching cultivators above the Zhoutian realm.

Otherwise, Ashige really wanted to chop that monk to death!

"Brother, do you still need me to give you an answer?" Shen Lang sighed: "Brother, now we are using merchants and monks from the Central Plains. In order to appease them in the future, do we have to use officials from the Great Zhou?"

"They become officials, ride on our heads, order our men around, and oppress us grassland people. What should we do?"

"We grassland people are all straightforward. Who can outwit them?"

"This is not groundless worry, it is really very likely to happen!"

"The policy is so favorable to the Zhou people, they will sooner or later become the host, even now there are some signs."

"If this continues, people's hearts will fall apart!"

Chapter 151 Seeds of Chaos

After Shen Lang left, Ashige's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Don't think too much." Aijima sat next to Ashige and whispered, "This is all the Wolf Lord's plan..."

“Wolf Lord, Wolf Lord… Is Wolf Lord always right?” Ashige growled, “The Zhou people are getting more and more rampant in Muyun City now. They are the losers, the losers! The losers put on such a high and mighty attitude, and those who don’t know would think they have won!”

"Aijima, I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"

"Lord Wolf, you must have been brainwashed by that scholar."

"It was that scholar who said that if you want to do something big, you have to do it this way."

"I just don't see what big thing you've accomplished."

"If it were us in the past, we would have already broken through Xuanmo Pass and headed south, looting like crazy."

"What about now? Everyone is trapped around Muyun City. The people from the Great Zhou have surrounded us. Are they waiting for them to deploy their formations and fight us? If we are surrounded, we can only retreat back to the grassland!"

"We have been planning for thirty years, and in these thirty years, we haven't gotten much supplies from Muyun City!"

“If those Zhou people come out, they will face our wolf cavalry.” Aijima comforted him, “They can’t beat us.”

The grassland people are best at field combat.

In terms of the living environment and wildness of monsters, the Great Zhou is far behind.

Especially the cavalry of the grassland, which can be said to be the nightmare of all ancient kings.

"They are hiding in Xuanmo Pass. How can we attack Xuanmo Pass now?" Ashige gritted his teeth.

“But as long as we pass the Thundercloud Pass, it will be equivalent to passing the most difficult barrier. The rest can be fought normally.” Aijima said.

"Hmph, anyway, a man who couldn't make it in the Great Zhou came to our grassland, and the Wolf Lord gave him many rewards, allowing that man to reach the Divine Profound Realm!" Ashige crushed the bowl in his hand: "If these resources were given to the people of the grassland, maybe two Divine Profound Realm would emerge!"

"Can our noble bloodline be compared to those Zhou people?"

"Then what can we do? This is all decided by the Wolf Lord..." Ajima said helplessly.

She initially thought that Shen Lang and her husband would definitely be friends.

Unexpectedly, although it seemed like they were indeed getting along, things were actually heading in a bad direction.

Disobeying the Wolf Lord is not a good thing...

Really, why do these men get together to talk about this kind of thing?

"Humph..." A sharp light flashed in Ashige's eyes: "As long as I am still here, these Zhou people will never be so rampant!"

"Before, the Wolf Lord was too sympathetic to the Zhou people. I will not disobey the Wolf Lord, but I want to be fair to the grassland people!"

…………

Shen Lang came out of Ashige's mansion with a very happy face.

When he returned to Tianyuan Street, he found that the lawyer he had met during the day was waiting for him at the door.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, you are finally back." The lawyer saw Shen Lang coming and hurried to his side: "Quick, the county magistrate wants to see you..."

"Oh?"

Soon, Shen Lang and his lawyer arrived at the county government office.

When the county magistrate saw Shen Lang, it was like seeing a relative.

"Hey, brother, you're here." The county magistrate supported Shen Lang and let him sit next to him with a smile.

"I just had a meal at Master Ashige's place." Shen Lang said seemingly unintentionally, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

"Huh?" The county magistrate was stunned.

How does this have anything to do with Ashiger?

The management of Muyun City is a bit chaotic right now. It’s only been a short time since they took over, and they themselves don’t know what they should do.

As for reporting to the police, whoever encounters it will be responsible for it.

"Not long, not long." The county magistrate said with a smile: "Brother, is your job as an overseer comfortable?"

"Not bad." Shen Lang nodded shyly: "Thank you for the promotion, sir."

"Hey, there's no such thing as promotion or not. We're all brothers, don't be so formal." The county magistrate put his arm around Shen Lang's shoulders and said, "I'll give you a position as a clerk. This way, it will be convenient for you to come to the county government office often."

"How dare Shen Lang refuse your kind invitation?" Shen Lang said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your promotion."

"As for the salary of this clerk... We brothers met too late, so let's not talk about money, it will hurt our feelings."

"Yes, yes, talking about money hurts feelings, talking about money hurts feelings!" Seeing that Shen Lang didn't want money, the county magistrate also took the opportunity to back off: "Brother, the money-making ideas you mentioned before..."

The lawyer tactfully retreated.

"There are actually quite a few ideas for making money." Shen Lang said, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate is in the county government office, can't you discover the secret?"

"Oh?" The county magistrate whispered, "Please explain clearly, brother."

"First of all, I saw that the work of those monks was arranged by adults." Shen Lang whispered: "Is that right?"

"That's right." The county magistrate nodded.

"Their wages..."

"You can't deduct this!" The county magistrate waved his hand quickly: "This money is not given by me..."

"Then whether they do easy work or difficult work, isn't it all up to the adults to decide?" Shen Lang whispered, "How about this, brother, let those cultivators come to me, and I will talk to them. I'm sure some of them will be sensible and give the adults some advice."

“We don’t deduct their money, but they voluntarily give us money, so who can control it?”

"This is still not safe enough... What should I do if they lose their temper and spread the news everywhere?" Obviously, the county magistrate was not a fool. It was okay for Shen Lang to give money voluntarily, but those cultivators were unruly. If this mess was exposed, wouldn't the Wolf Lord beat him to death?

Shen Lang also realized that this county magistrate wanted to make money but didn't want to take responsibility.

However, this does not pose a problem for Shen Lang.

"Then let's do this. My lord, you can open a shop in the city. That shouldn't be difficult, right?" Shen Lang came up with a plan.

"It's not difficult. There are vacant lands everywhere in the city. We can take any land we want, as long as it's not near the palace." The county magistrate said that he still had this ability.

"Sir, you open a small shop and let them have an extra procedure before they come in. They can go to your shop and buy a small knife for cutting meat to show that they are willing to join the grassland."

"If it's sold at a high price, isn't that the same thing?" The county magistrate said, "It's too obvious."

"No, no, no, this knife is cheap, only one tael of silver. I believe no cultivator would care about this tael of silver, and the higher-ups would not think that this tael of silver in your hands is corruption." Shen Lang whispered, "It's just a small ceremony. You can tell the higher-ups to see if they are sincere."

"If you are sincere, what is one tael of silver?"

"This is too little money..." The county magistrate became distressed: "I really don't need these few dozen taels..."

Monks are already scarce, and if dozens more can come, that would be a good number.

"One tael of silver is of course not worth much, but this way of collecting money is not like selling knives." Shen Lang said: "We can purchase some other goods, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc."

"Those antiques, calligraphy and paintings are, of course, fake."

"As long as they spend a lot of money, we can mark the knife, and the adults can assign tasks based on the marks, right?"

"A foreign monk saw that the things you sell are exquisite, so he bought some. This is not considered abuse of power for personal gain, right?"

"If you are still worried, then don't register the property in your name. Register it in someone else's name, such as a clan member trusted by a high-ranking official who is familiar to you."

"In this way, the people above us have common interests with you, and I'm sure they will protect you to the death if something goes wrong."

"Not only can adults make money, but they can also make friends, killing two birds with one stone."

This system is extremely concealed even in modern times, and it can be said to be extremely difficult to crack in this era.

Not to mention the grassland where the legal system has not yet been established, even in the Great Zhou Dynasty with a complete supervision system, it is difficult to investigate.

"Hmm?" The county magistrate's eyes lit up. This way of doing it would be much more covert. It was feasible!

"You can leave all these tasks to me." Shen Lang said, "Then we will split them 10% to 90%, 10% to me and 90% to you."

"Good!" The county magistrate slapped his thigh!

"However, we want to buy goods, and we can't buy them in the city..." Shen Lang touched his chin: "Otherwise it will be too obvious."

"How about this, aren't there several other cities that are trading with Muyun City? My Lord, give me a pass and I'll ask my cousin to go to other cities to buy some. If they really investigate, I don't know how much it will cost."

"No problem." The county magistrate didn't think Shen Lang wanted to run away from beginning to end.

After all, Shen Lang paid a huge price to buy a supervisor position from him. How long will it take for him to get his money back?

Moreover, everything Shen Lang did seemed to be based on interests and the perspective of making money.

Even if the county magistrate racked his brains, he would still think that he was just a monk who came to make money.

…………

At night, when Shen Lang returned to the tent, he looked tired.

Now that the pass to leave the city has been obtained, the fuse of conflict has been ignited and the seeds of corruption have been planted.

After doing these three things in one day, Shen Lang was exhausted.

Shen Lang came here this time to cause trouble, but his primary goal was to get Zhao Huaibei's head.

According to his analysis, taking Zhao Huaibei's head is not an easy task, and he still has to cause chaos in the city first.

Those four burdens are easy to deal with. All we have to do is make them run away at the right time.

Ji Wending gave him five days. He used one day to travel, and one day today. There are still three days left...
