The demon world I designed

Chapter 54 The prefect who actively buys land.

"Everyone was bought?"

Shopkeeper He ran to the Nanming Mansion's trading firm in person. When he heard the answer from Song San, who was in charge of property sales, he was stunned.

"Who bought it?"

"I don't know..." Song San shook his head: "The other party acted decisively and had plenty of cash. Not only us, but all the store properties on the market were sold out. Although the prices of these stores dropped due to the ghost puppet incident, It was frozen, but buying so much at once was at least the work of a large commercial bank, but I asked several times and couldn’t find out which company it was from.”

"How could this be so?" Shopkeeper He suddenly became anxious: "It shouldn't be..."

Although Liuzhou announced tax cuts, major commercial banks were in a wait-and-see mode, so Rongsheng and his family went to Liuzhou to receive goods with the intention of giving it a try.

Logically speaking, the first person to see the goalkeeper should be the person in charge of him. When he saw the situation, he immediately found the leader and then sent Song San, but in the end he was still ahead?

Where do you get the news from other trading companies?

"If you go and inquire again, be sure to find out who did it!" Shopkeeper He's face was gloomy.

Once word spreads about the current doorkeeper in Liuzhou, it will definitely not only attract people to return, but how powerful will an environment that can guarantee safety be to attract local wealthy households? This can be seen by looking at the housing prices in Beijing and Tiandu. Liuzhou is at a low point at this time. Once you seize the right opportunity and make the right bet, the rewards will be more than huge profits?

Who the hell could be one step ahead of them?

"Go and contact the shopkeepers of Baiye, Nanhua, Dongsheng, Zhongxiang, and Four Seasons and tell me that I have something important to discuss!"

Liu San was stunned at first, then realized what the shopkeeper was going to do, and quickly responded: "Yes!"

Now that the opportunity has been lost, the only thing left to do is to apply pressure. First find out who is responsible, and then join forces with peers to put pressure on the other party to make them say something. The business opportunities in Liuzhou cannot be taken by one family! !

——

"Boss, are we taking a greater risk?"

In the Liuzhou government office, Zhou Haitao, who was in charge of the paperwork, came up eagerly with a pile of land deeds and asked cautiously.

"What's the name?" Chen Qing rolled his eyes: "We act like gangsters. We are the masters in the system. We should call you gentler, sir!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen..." Zhou Haitao was speechless, but after getting along for a few days, the familiarity of his former classmate came back. Although this classmate has become very strange in some aspects, most of his personality has not changed. Zhou Haitao felt much more relaxed.

Talking on weekdays has become more intimate.

"Then our Lord Prefect, now you have used all the funds allocated to you to buy real estate. This...should be illegal, right?"

"In urgent matters, follow the authority!" Chen Qing said slowly while drinking tea: "What can the Chief Envoy do with the little money allocated? There will be a lot of money spent in the future, and we are temporarily exempted from commercial tax, why don't we take the opportunity to make a profit? With extra money from pens, will I always rely on charity from above?”

"Can I catch it?" Zhou Haitao asked a little uncertainly.

"Of course!" Chen Qing said with certainty: "Let me ask you, fat man, what do rich people care about most?"

Zhou Haitao's face twitched, and the title Wenya refers to me, right?

"Of course it's money!"

“They say it’s the rich people, or the money?”

"Is that possible?" Zhou Haitao carefully arranged the land deed and said, "My father said that the richer you are, the more you want to make money. Rich people's desire for money is endless!"

"Your father is quite a sensible person..." Chen Qing said amusedly: "Apart from money?"

"Woman?" Zhou Haitao asked tentatively.

"Ah!" Chen Qing sighed: "With your brain, how did you pass the exam? Of course it's safe!"

"If you have money, you have life to spend!" Chen Qing sipped her tea and continued: "Rich wealthy people have many contacts with the upper class, so naturally they know that there are such things as monsters and ghosts in this world. They make tens of millions of dollars, but people can't help them at any time. On the edge of a knife, what’s the point?”

"Why are housing prices in the capital so expensive? The minimum starting price for outsiders to settle down is hundreds of thousands taels. Why don't they want peace of mind? In the capital, at least you don't have to worry about having your head chewed by inexplicable monsters at any time!"

"Our Liuzhou is expected to become the second capital city. Do you think land prices will rise?"

"Is it...such an exaggeration?" Zhou Haitao was stunned. He had also seen the effect of the door god. It was indeed quite bluffing, but...wasn't the second capital a bit exaggerated?

"It's a bit exaggerated for the time being, but the potential for growth is higher!" Chen Qing said with a smile: "We can eat the top rich in the capital, but we can eat in the middle and lower reaches. Once the news about the door god gets out, it will affect those who are a little bourgeois but cannot settle in the capital. For members of the public, the appeal is extraordinary, right?”

"For example, the shopkeepers of major commercial banks, some of the nouveau riche who have a humble background, but have made a lot of money by doing maritime business a few times, and then there are also some great scholars who have great talents but not a lot of money. They are all high-quality people. Oh, don’t these people want to have a safe environment? Don’t want their wives and children to be threatened by demons?” Chen Qing said with a faint smile: “You must know that the incident involving Mr. Painted Skin did not affect the entire city of Liuzhou!”

"It's not a city in Liuzhou? What do you mean?" Haitao looked confused: "Is there such a monster in other places?"

Chen Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, if there were more of these things, the human race would have no way to survive.

In the short term, the Mr. Painted Skin incident was a serious disaster for Liuzhou, but the actual impact was greater because the number of people involved in the incident was so large that the court could not cover it up. This means that the demon incident will soon not be limited to only upper-class people. Know the secret.

The panic caused by this has at least spread to the entire Jiangnan, but now the reaction in Liuzhou is more severe. As time goes by, it will be seen that the panic caused by the demons to ordinary people will enter an irreversible trend and become more and more intense!

In a panic environment, a safe city is definitely what everyone desires. What Chen Qing needs to do now is to build Liuzhou's reputation for safety!

"How's it going? I've been observing for three days, but what's the trick?"

At the gate of the city, Wei Gongcheng was sitting in the teahouse at the gate, looking at Chen Ying who still couldn't figure it out, and asked funnyly.

The teahouse was opened temporarily. It is said that one of Ma Erniang's fellow villagers heard that people began to come back from Liuzhou. Since the harvest at home was really not good, they followed Ma Erniang's example and came to occupy a small space that was not being used. A temporary teahouse was opened on the shop floor.

Business has been pretty good these two days.

In just three days, there were already more than a dozen caravans coming to Liuzhou to deliver goods, one of which even had a hundred people. The flow of people increased day by day. Ma Erniang was so busy that she even called her country daughter-in-law to help cook together.

The business of the teahouse is also booming. Although they only sell crude tea and some snacks such as peanuts and edamame, most of them don't choose for merchants who run boats all year round. Besides, there is no place for them to choose in Liuzhou now. If they want to drink Hot tea is just here. If you don't come, people will come.

Wei Gongcheng looked at Liuzhou, which was slowly recovering in popularity, and admired the scholar's methods in his heart. Generals like them would probably not be able to think of such an idea.

"This door god's skills are very unusual..." Chen Ying drank the coarse tea and shook her head and said: "I really can't tell the difference..."

She is a very studious warlock who is most interested in anecdotes. She has heard of many magical weapons with complex functions, but she has never heard of this thing.

So far, this was the fourth caravan with water ghosts that had been recognized. Chen Ying also quietly investigated those caravans and confirmed that there was no element of acting, which made her even more confused.

She has studied magic in the capital for ten years, and she knows very well that the imperial court definitely does not have such a thing. If it did, it would have been used to hang up the four gates of the capital. After all, although the capital has countless defensive techniques, it still cannot recognize those who are too careful. Hidden monsters.

For example, didn't that Thousand-faced Fox just enter Beijing in a big way?

She felt even more deeply that the guy on the door was probably a demon, but she couldn't find any trace of him after he appeared several times, which really made her a little depressed. Could it be that she was too shallow?

And if it was a demon, why would he help Chen Qing?

"I'm sorry to bother you, but are you the master of Yin Yang College?"

A voice interrupted the exchange between Wei Gongcheng and Chen Ying. Chen Ying frowned and saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, whom he had never seen before.

So he asked: "Who are you?"

"I met you sir in Xianyang Yiyang!" Although the visitor was older, he was quite polite and obviously understood the status of the warlock.

"Surnamed Shen? Nanyang Shen family?" Wei Gongcheng asked with a smile.

"Exactly, who is this sir?"

"I don't deserve to be called an adult, I'm just a passerby." Wei Gongcheng said modestly and didn't say much. Seeing this, the other party didn't want to ask further, so he looked at Chen Ying again.

Chen Ying also reacted when she heard this. Now the main recipient of goods in Liuzhou is Rongsheng Trading Company, and behind Rongsheng Trading Company is a powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River: the Nanyang Shen family.

"It turns out he is a member of Lord Shen's clan." Chen Ying stood up and bowed in return.

The Shen family of Nanyang is a family of sorcerers for thousands of years. Nowadays, there are many officials in the court and those enrolled in Yin Yang College. The card is the current Minister of Industry: Shen Yin, Master Shen often lectured at Yin Yang College, and she was half a teacher. , Although the other party is a mortal without spiritual power fluctuations, since he is of the same generation as Master Shen, he still has to give him face.

"You're welcome, sir. If you don't mind, just call me shopkeeper Shen. Haha."

Chen Ying immediately understood that the other party was responsible for taking care of the general affairs in the clan, and his status was not high. She nodded slightly and responded: "Is there something wrong, Shopkeeper Shen?"

"That's it..." The man said quickly: "Shen has been observing here all day. It was really shocking to see the Lord Door God appear just now, so he wanted to write a letter and ask the Lord Warlock from the clan to come. Look, it’s not a coincidence. I saw you wearing the Yin-Yang Jade, so I came over to ask.”

Chen Ying nodded when she heard this. It was normal for such a big family to recognize the Yin-Yang jade worn by Yin-Yang Academy.

"I must disappoint Shopkeeper Shen..." Chen Ying invited the other party to sit down and sighed: "I have been observing here for three days, but I really can't see where that thing came from."

"Adults can't tell?" Shen Yiyang was slightly stunned. Although it was his first time dealing with the other party, he could guess the identity of the other party. The female student under Jiangnan Academic Affairs Mu Hongqing was now in the college. A very outstanding person, according to rumors, she is the most likely person to become the first woman to study politics in the Jin Dynasty.

"My moral integrity is not good enough, and I make Shopkeeper Shen laugh."

"Where, where!" Shen Yiyang waved his hand quickly, and then said: "You can't even recognize me, sir. I'm afraid Master Mu will personally take action."

Chen Ying, who has always had great respect for her master, shook her head for the first time: "If the teacher is here, I probably won't recognize him."

"Oh?" Shen Yiyang raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Because its abilities are too novel." Chen Ying looked at the city gate solemnly and said: "Has the shopkeeper noticed that every time the person who kills the water ghost is actually the gatekeeper?"

"Yes..." Shen Yiyang nodded: "But it's just a water ghost. Maybe the door god doesn't need to do it himself, right?"

"It's not..." Chen Ying shook her head: "That door god... can bestow magical powers on mortals!!"

Shen Yiyang: "!!!"
