Chapter 338 Eight Factions Performing Martial Arts(1/2)
More than two months have passed since the Qitianjiao incident.
In the past two months, the entire Yongzhou City has undergone earth-shaking changes.
What most people in Yongzhou City are talking about is the new supreme leader Lin Mang's solicitation of guests.
The latest Tianbang has been completely circulated.
Everyone was still extremely surprised that this new supreme being ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking.
But everyone is very convinced of the current ranking.
He destroyed the Qitian Sect, broke through the desperate situation, and even killed the Supreme King of the Qitian Sect, Jiu Feng. He is definitely the number one person of the younger generation.
Ranking him first on the list is undoubtedly a recognition of him.
From now on, even if the ranking is updated again, I am afraid that the number one on the ranking will feel ashamed.
Because there was once a person who killed a supreme being and became the first in the heaven list as a supreme being.
Thirty-six people were selected for the Supreme List of the Five Directions. However, Lin Mang's strength is not enough to be on the Supreme List. However, his talent and strength are now quite strong. In addition, he belongs to the younger generation.
Number one on the heavenly list is well deserved
For the Jianghu people in Yongzhou City, this is not an honor.
You know, in the history of Yongzhou, the most talented person was only ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Ranking, not even the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking.
Therefore, ever since the City Lord's Mansion posted a notice soliciting guests, the front door of the City Lord's Mansion has been overcrowded every day.
Even some powerful people in the Tongtian Realm are rushing to come.
Many people originally served as guest ministers in various sects in Yongzhou, but now they resigned from their original positions and came to Yongzhou City one after another.
In the entire Yongzhou, there are only two supreme beings now.
In the past, Qitian Sect had a very high threshold. The sect had its own lineal elders, and foreign guests were not taken seriously.
The Jinhe Wang family is a family system. Except for the direct bloodline, it is also difficult for outsiders to be reused.
This has led to many powerful people who would rather hang out in the world than join the Qitian Sect and the Jinhe Wang Clan.
But Yongzhou City is different. Everyone knows that this "Blood River Sword Lord" is alone and has no power under his command. Many people even suspect that he has a rough background. Now following him, he is the first group of elders in Yongzhou City. He is absolutely
Can be reused.
With this idea in mind, many Jianghu people came from several nearby states.
The already prosperous Yongzhou City is becoming more and more lively now. The city is overcrowded every day, and every restaurant is full.
City Lord's Mansion, inside the courtyard.
Lin Mang sat on the Grand Master's chair, looked at Su Lie and Su Wenyan below, and asked, "Has the place been chosen?"
Although Wang Gu sent a group of people, these people belonged to the Jinhe Wang family after all, and no one was sure where their butts were sitting.
After Yongzhou City stabilized, he sent a message to Su Lie and asked him to bring some people from Qingming Sword Pavilion to Yongzhou.
For Su Lie, whether he wants it or not, Qingming Jiange has been labeled as "Lin Mang".
As for Qingming Sword Pavilion being able to have a relationship with a Supreme Being, even if Su Lie was not willing, he still had to see if the disciples agreed.
Su Lie bowed his hands respectfully and said, "It's been picked out, and it's on the old site of Qitian Sect."
Su Lie kept his posture very low, after all, he was facing a supreme being now.
Today is different from the past.
Lin Mang was surprised and said: "Qitian Sect?"
Su Lie cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, although most of the buildings there are still destroyed, many buildings still exist. After renovation, it will become a blessed place."
Naturally, it is impossible for so many disciples of Qingming Sword Pavilion to live in the city.
He has visited many places these days, but still feels that Lingyun Mountain, the former site of the Qitian Sect, is the best.
Even though it was severely damaged due to the battle, the overall structure was not damaged much, and it was still much better than the Qingming Mountain in the past.
What's more, being able to come to Yongzhou was something he had never thought of.
Lin Mang nodded slightly: "Then Lingyun Mountain."
He didn't care much about the location of Qingming Sword Pavilion.
The Jinhe Wang Clan's territory is mainly along the Jinhe River. Except for Yongzhou City, the territory it occupies is the former Qitian Sect's territory, and there is no major conflict of interest with the Jinhe Wang Clan.
Recruiting people from Qingming Sword Pavilion to Yongzhou will also be more conducive to controlling Yongzhou.
Lin Mang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "I have called you here today because there is something I want you to do."
"Now Yongzhou City has been pacified, but the entire Yongzhou City is very large, and there are many sects. It lacks unified and effective management. Although it was under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Palace in the past, the management was too loose, and even the management of Yongzhou City was extremely limited."
"Now that I have entered Yongzhou, I naturally have to re-integrate all the forces. You send people to tell the various sects and families in Yongzhou that from now on, Yongzhou will implement the management regulations of the City Lord's Mansion, and each sect must hand over its own resources every year.
Thirty percent of the total will be used as the city lord’s palace’s protection for them.”
"In addition, all shops and businesses of each sect in the city need to pay 40% of the tax to the city lord's mansion. Outstanding disciples from each sect can enter the city lord's mansion to practice."
"On the territory of Yongzhou, all violations of the laws established by the City Lord's Palace will be tried by the City Lord's Palace, and no sects will be allowed to interfere. From now on, the City Lord's Palace will have priority in handling all matters in Yongzhou City."
this……
Su Lie was dumbfounded.
The whole person immediately froze on the spot, looking in a daze.
Even if he is on Lin Mang's side now, hearing these conditions feels harsh.
The city lord's palace doesn't do anything and just wants to take 30% of the resources for nothing?
No one is willing to agree to this, right?
As for the sales of shops in the city, there has never been any mention of tax collection.
These industries are all managed by each sect and each sect, and all the proceeds naturally belong to them. Now the city lord's mansion has to collect taxes, and it is still 30%. For each sect, this loss is not small.
This can no longer be described as excessive. It is simply riding on the heads of various factions.
Will they really agree to this condition?
Not to mention abiding by the laws of the City Lord's Mansion, and also accepting the disposal of the City Lord's Mansion.
Jianghu people have always been used to being unfettered. The most they can do is abide by family rules and clan rules. Who would be willing to have more restrictions for nothing?
During this period, he also learned about the situation in Yongzhou City.
Although there was a law enforcement team in Yongzhou in the past, it was composed of disciples of various sects. The only ones who were bullied were small sects in the world and outsiders.
The law enforcement team nominally dealt with the situation fairly, but in reality it was never fair at all.
As for the City Lord's Mansion, it is just a decoration and has no effect. Not to mention the Qitian Sect, even the slightly larger sects will not take it seriously.
Su Lie took a deep breath and hesitated: "Would this push them too hard?"
Doesn’t this force various factions to rebel?
Even the Qitian Sect has never done this before.
Lin Mang slowly put down the tea cup and said without any care: "If you don't want to comply, then get out of Yongzhou. If you want to stay, you have to be obedient."
"If anyone dares to rebel, just kill him."
"I've slaughtered Qi Tianjiao, so it's just a little bit more troublesome."
Su Lie's mouth twitched.
He really deserves the name of "Blood River Sword Lord".
I just don’t know how the various factions in Yongzhou will react when they hear this news.
Lin Mang said this, and Su Lie was very sensible and didn't say much, so he accepted the offer.
In fact, what Lin Mang implemented in Yongzhou was the same as Jin Yiwei's, but it was a bit more stringent.
It's only now that Yongzhou City has begun to recruit people. The scale is far from comparable to that of Jin Yiwei, and these people are not as loyal as Jin Yiwei.
The real power of Jinyiwei lies in its all-pervasive intelligence capabilities.
If Yongzhou City wants to develop, the fastest way is to plunder. Yongzhou as a whole is so big, and it is still too slow to develop step by step.
At this moment, a disciple of Jiange came and said with cupped hands: "City Lord, there is a person from the Jinhe Wang family who wants to see you."
Lin Mang already knew who the visitor was.
"Please come in."
"yes!"
The disciples of Jiange handed over their hands and turned to leave.
Su Lie stood aside, feeling very unhappy.
He is obviously a disciple of Jiange, but these disciples are not so respectful to him.
It's easier to call him "City Lord" than "Pavilion Master".
