Chapter 1902 pressing step by step forbearance
In early May, spring plowing is coming to an end. At this time of previous years, the Star Colony was in full swing. But this year is completely different and it looks very cold. The streets in the new city are no longer as prosperous as before, with few pedestrians, and shops and restaurants are empty. The amusement parks that were once extremely popular at any time and anywhere are gone.
Since the news that the Empire was about to deal with the Stars, almost all tourists have left. Although many people believe that the Empire may not win with the Stars' force, no one wants to be affected by the war.
During these days of development, the Empire has taken action one after another, and Xingchenling only issued a statement to stop super users. There is no way to deal with the so-called bandits, and there is no countermeasure to the shortage of various resources and price increases. People are becoming increasingly unfavorable about Xingchenling.
Many nobles believed that Jiang Xingchen was not there, and the people of Xingchen Territory were no longer stable. Jiang Mei'er could not even comfort her own people, so how could she withstand the suppression of the empire? Some even wrote down the story of Shenlong's departure last year, believing that it had already indicated that Xingchen Territory was about to decline. Shenlong's departure means that Jiang Xingchen no longer could control high-level monsters. Without high-level monsters, can the force of Xingchen Territory be called a threat?
Everything will turn back when extremes. After more than ten years of glory, it is time to get to the end! This is the result that most people believe. This rumor has occupied the mainstream. The result of its spread is that more people in Xingchen Territory left, and some wait-and-see craftsmen were influenced by this remark and resigned to the territory. Most of the merchants in the new city also left half of them during this period.
The most frightening ones were the nobles who bought houses here. They began to sell real estate everywhere, and some even found Xingchenling and asked Xingchenling to recycle it.
Of course Mei'er would not agree to such a request, and implemented tough measures against dozens of nobles who came to the city hall to make noise, and directly ordered the security team members to beat the person out.
The aristocratic playboys realized that they were in the Xingchen Leadership, and even if they were at a disadvantage in the empire, they would be like playing if they wanted to kill them.
They hurried back to their residence, and all the nobles were stunned. Not long ago, the houses in their hands were still in short supply, and they had no place to buy them even if they had money, and now no one wants them. At that time, their family spent 500,000 yellow crystal coins to grab a set, and they all fell into their hands.
Originally, these noble children were ready to admit their bad luck, and they had to leave the house even if they didn't want it. Wouldn't it be even more unlucky to throw their lives here?
But at this moment, the city hall heard a message telling them that the house could be recycled, and each house was only given 50,000 yellow crystal coins. If they agreed, they took the house book to collect the money.
The nobles were overjoyed. Although the price dropped more than ten times, 50,000 is not a small amount. It would be good if you could get some back.
After dealing with these noble children, Xingchen Corps borrowed more than one billion yellow crystal coins. Afterwards, the entire Xingchen Corps almost became an empty city, as cold as a ghost.
In the lord's mansion, Grandpa Fu, Old Master, Wanrou, Xianning, Ling'er and others all looked gloomy. The empire was pressing step by step, but Mei'er was still slow. If this trend continues, Xingchenling will be no one. Now, except for several restaurants and Jufu Money Houses that have been working with Jiang Xingchen for many years, Dafulai, Tianxia Trading Company and other major commercial banks, almost all of them have left.
"My girl! Do you still have to wait?" The old man was also a little anxious at this time. If he continued, the empire must have some means. The Star Corps might be hurt.
In the past, the old man did not want Xingchenling to fight with the empire. After all, he served for the empire for many years, and the Tang family was also a prominent family in the empire. But now it is impossible to fight. The Tang family and Jiang Xingchen have a relationship of prosperity and loss. If Xingchen leader defeats the Tang family, he will not be able to fall well.
Mei'er shook her head and whispered: "It's not too late yet. The Empire made such a big move this time to disperse our power again!"
Ling'er asked, "When will it be the time!"
In the past two days, not only did Qi Yueling, Zheng Xingling, Nanjiangling and other places who had been with Xingchenling frequently called, but several kingdoms were also panicked. Xingchenling was still moving, which really made them feel unsure. Even Luo Yu from the grassland wrote several times, asking Ling'er how it was.
Mei'er said with a cold face: "It shouldn't be long. The emperor will have more excessive actions. Now it's just a small temptation. When he really forces us to disperse our power, it's time for us to take action! Now we still need to endure!"
At this moment, the old man was a little dazed, as if he saw Jiang Xingchen planning everything. Mei'er's behavior was so similar to Jiang Xingchen.
Not only the old man, but others also felt this way, and the originally urgent emotions suddenly became much more relaxed.
Mei'er's judgment was correct. The Emperor's methods followed one after another without slowing down at all. Just two days after the check-out storm, the private soldiers suddenly came to report, and the two telegram lines were damaged, and communication with the outside world was blocked.
After hearing this news, the senior officials were excited and the empire was too bullying. After cutting off the communication line, the Xingchen Leader became blind and mute. How to contact several other major bases and how to know the status of the transport vehicles.
Mei'er was very calm and said lightly: "They won't let us get the news. They cut off two lines. Didn't they leave us one?"
Xian Ning smiled and said, "If they want to cut, let them cut it. Our wireless telegram is also time to start. You can contact the major bases without any need for a line."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing.
The senior officials knew that there was a radio telegraph, but the people below didn't know. After the news that the telegraph wire was cut, the atmosphere in the entire territory seemed very tense. All the staff had serious expressions, with panic and worry in their eyes.
Within two days, private soldiers sent out to escort steel and soda ash to send back news that they killed no less than five groups of bandits along the railway, with more than 1,300 people.
This news finally made the Xingchen Leader smile a little. But then another bigger incident came out, and many civilians came to Xingchen Leader and asked to drop out of school and bring back the children who were studying.
This situation angered the senior management, including Mei'er. Not only did the children sent by those forces with ulterior motives, many of them were recruited by civilian children. They signed the contract at the beginning, and after graduation they had to work for Xingchen for ten years. In recent years, children did not have to spend a copper coin for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and study.
Although Mei'er and the others could understand the mood of those parents, they still couldn't control the anger in their hearts. It is certain that this was also the Emperor's method. By bringing back the children who had been studying for four or five years, you can use what these children learned a few years in advance.
This time Mei'er is really in a dilemma. She is really reluctant to let her go. But if she doesn't let her go, the Xingchenling will become the target of criticism by the common people when the news is out.
