Chapter 51: Winning Over
Starting from these few days.
There are many strangers in Ping'an Town.
They are all warriors with weapons in their hands.
As the only restaurant in Ping'an Town, Lin Fugui's business has been much better, but he has also had a lot of troubles.
These warriors are unscrupulous and start fighting after a few quarrels. Several times, the tables and chairs in his restaurant have been broken.
Fortunately, his eldest nephew told Mr. Qian that there is a night watchman from the night watch department who often passes by the restaurant.
Every time there is a fight, he will appear at the first time and make those warriors pay.
Otherwise, he will not make money, but will lose a lot of money to replace new tables and chairs.
These are just the minions who took the lead. Those disciples of the big sects with high cultivation have not appeared yet!
Since Lin Qingzhi threatened the Vajra Temple, all those who received the news, whether they were large or small sects, began to send people to Ping'an Town. Some of them were people from other counties. Hearing that there was a human master in Ping'an Town, the safety factor was directly raised to the maximum.
So they began to flock to Ping'an Town. These people were all residents near Jianmen Pass.
Because it was too dangerous to be near Jianmen Pass, they flocked to Ping'an Town.
In the past, they thought that the Duke of Wei was there, so it was very safe, but this time the barbarians crossed through the Tianjian Mountains, letting these people know that even with the Duke of Wei, it was still not very safe there.
A master who could force the highest ruling sect of the barbarians to close the mountain must feel very safe living around.
These days, not to mention the town of Ping'an Town, even those villages will have people asking if they can settle down.
The village is actually very exclusive, especially the village with the same surname, even more so.
Many people from Linjiang Village also went to ask.
But they were all rejected by the uncle.
They were not angry, and a group of people found a place with no one, opened up wasteland and settled down.
The mayor of Ping'an Town, Ruan Pin, was in pain and happiness.
With so many people moving to Ping'an Town, he has a lot to do, especially the fights and disputes, which are becoming more and more frequent. However, with the influx of people, the economy of the entire Ping'an Town has been sublimated.
This year's tax revenue will definitely be much higher than that of other towns.
The town is prosperous, the business is developed, and the tax revenue has increased.
For this matter, Lu Tong, a deputy general, went to Wei County to transfer a thousand people to help Ruan Pin manage Ping'an Town.
As more and more people came, there were more merchants, restaurants and inns.
But the income of Lin Fugui's Linjiang Restaurant did not decrease but increased.
For these things, Lin Qingzhi also heard about it from his uncle, because his business has been getting better and better in the past few days.
In the past, only one barrel of braised meat was prepared, but now two barrels were added directly, and three barrels of braised meat were not enough to sell. These days, the corners of the mouths of my uncle and aunt are grinning to the roots of their ears.
In Ping'an Town, there are not only more people and warriors, but also many spies from major forces.
They walked around Ping'an Town, looking for Lin Qingzi's whereabouts.
Either to make friends, or to bribe, or to recruit.
There were countless spies.
Among them, the first to find Lin Qingzhi's whereabouts were several princes from the imperial dynasty.
The old emperor had more than a dozen children, but only the eldest prince, the second prince, the sixth prince and the eldest princess had the hope of inheriting the throne.
The eldest princess sent Qiuyue.
Qiuyue, who had been in Ping'an Town for several days, had never talked to Lin Qingzhi in person even after meeting him, but just observed Lin Qingzhi silently.
The other three princes were different.
After the princes they sent learned about Lin Qingzhi's whereabouts from the governor of Jizhou, they came directly to Linjiang Village.
They also dragged several boxes of gifts behind them.
Gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and antiques....
In order to get Lin Qingzhi to join their side, they also spent some thought.
But did they think Lin Qingzhi was one of those ministers? If you don't bring something practical, using these things to win over martial arts masters is probably just wishful thinking!
In fact, not only these princes and princesses, but even the old emperor arranged a eunuch to come, but he didn't come to win over Lin Qingzhi, but to make friends with him. The old emperor is not those princes.
He knew that these masters who surpassed the Yunshen realm could not be won over just because they wanted to, but could only make friends with them.
If martial arts masters could be won over, they would not stay in the small mountain village.
Early in the morning, three strange carriages came to Linjiang Village.
As soon as they entered the village, they went straight to Lin Qingzhi's house.
The eldest prince Si Jincheng was arrogant and conceited, and had no scheming. He always oppressed his younger brother with his status as the eldest prince.
The second prince Si Jinshu was very thoughtful, cruel, and liked to play tricks.
The Sixth Prince Si Jinqi, the prince with the highest cultivation, has a bad temper, is proud and complacent, and looks down on everyone in the world, including his brothers.
In fact, the three princes do not have many supporters in the court. Except for their mothers, other court officials have seen through the temperaments of the three princes.
What's more, the dispute between the two parties in the court is becoming more and more intense, and it is even more impossible to focus on these three princes.
The two parties in the court are divided into the old party and the new party.
The old party are all people from aristocratic families, and they abide by the rules of their ancestors.
The new party has secretly surrendered to the eldest princess. The new party, headed by the right prime minister Li Huaian, wants to implement reforms in the Xia Dynasty.
Whether it was the eldest princess or the old emperor, they had long been dissatisfied with the aristocratic families of the Xia Dynasty. The new party was secretly supported by the old emperor. As for why they would turn to the eldest princess.
This was just the support given by the old emperor to the eldest princess.
Only the eldest prince and the sixth prince were still in the dark. Their old father had already decided that the eldest princess would ascend the throne.
The second prince was thoughtful and had already noticed it, so it was imperative for him to come here to win over Lin Qingzhi this time.
With the support of a warrior above the Yunshen realm, no one in the entire Xia Dynasty could compete with him, whether it was the aristocratic family or his old father.
Lin Qingzhi, who was feeding fish with his daughter, frowned as he looked outside the door.
He didn't want to get involved in these disputes.
So.
Lin Qingzhi waved his hand casually.
In an instant.
Outside the yard, a huge tornado appeared, and then swept three carriages into the wind.
The next moment, it blew towards the outside of Linjiang Village...
At the same time.
In the three carriages, everyone heard a voice ringing in their ears.
"I don't want to care about your disputes, and you don't come to disturb my life. Otherwise, it's not as simple as driving you away..."
The people sent by the three princes were all horrified in their hearts.
Before they showed their faces, they were driven out directly. In just a blink of an eye, they arrived at the gate of Ping'an Town.
This method is really horrifying....
