It doesn't matter what the lord is.

So, how did I walk in there for no apparent reason?

Half a day later, I sat back in the carriage, smelling of powder and makeup, clasping my hands contentedly, and said to Fang Yuan:

"When I first came to Yunhai, I found that this place is very different. Yunhai is a great place! There are many things for sale and the people are very friendly. I love being here."

It’s so comfortable when Alayya is not around!

In recent years, in order to leave Alayya with the impression that "I walk the dog, I race horses, I play cards, I bully men and women, but I am a good man", I have never been to any large-scale romantic scenes like the Qun Yulou in Yihongyuan.

I remember someone once said: I threw myself into a girl's arms like a hungry man throws himself into bread.

That's very well said, it describes my situation perfectly.

Fang Yuan, who had just made a fortune from selling goods, obviously didn't care about the money. After all, it was still daytime, and we just went in to listen to some music and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by girls. Even if we were entertained by the famous singers and dancers here, the cost this time was only seven or eight gold coins.

Fang Yuan is a pretty dedicated lackey.

I asked casually:

"How long will it take to get to the capital?"

Although I arrived at Yunhai Territory, there were many merchants and many goods, but after looking at them all the way, I found very few that met my needs. There were a lot of inferior goods being passed off as good ones, and inferior goods being passed off as good ones, which made me want to call 12315 to report it.

Fang Yuan spread out his fleshy fingers and counted them:

"It should be here tomorrow."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his head and said casually:

"Speaking of which, Yunhai Territory invites the lord families of various territories to come here. After coming here, the residences of a family will be arranged together. Ah, I really don't want to see my brothers."

4. Money really means you can do whatever you want

As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking, I understood what he meant.

He didn't want to see his brothers, and I didn't want to see my father and my elder brother again. We were all the same. But it was intriguing that he said this at this time.

Should I pour out my troubles to him or just laugh it off?

The relationship between Fang Yuan and I is very simple. He is a rare person in Zhaochen's territory who doesn't dislike Yunyang, and I am also a rare person in Yunyang's territory who doesn't have any bad feelings towards Zhaochen. The reason is that we are not welcome in our own territory, and we have no sense of belonging, so naturally we don't care much about the hatred left by our fathers.

This is just a normal friendship.

What's the next step forward?

Do I need his help to deal with my brothers, and does he need my help to deal with his brothers?

In a way, I help him clear the way and he helps me clear the way, it's definitely a win-win situation.

But after thinking about it, I shook my head.

Yunyang should solve its own problems. There is no need for others to cause trouble.

I put my hands around my neck and said jokingly:

"No way. If you can't even handle your own family, why are you still mixing around?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed across his small eyes, and he asked back:

"Come on, boss. From what I've heard, you've had a hard time, haven't you? You'll definitely be ridiculed again if you go over there this time. It's so embarrassing."

I smiled indifferently:

"Fang Yuan, I still like the way you are heartless."

Fang Yuan immediately started laughing foolishly.

So we spent another pleasant day together.

When we parted, Fang Yuan patted my shoulder and said:

"Boss, do you know? When I was very young, my family didn't like me. One day, I picked an apple from a tree, and my brother came over to snatch it from me. But I was fat and couldn't beat him, so I raised my hand and threw the apple into the river."

I didn't speak.

Fang Yuan showed a nostalgic expression, smacked his lips, and said:

"But I started to regret it after that. I should have taken advantage of the time and tried my best to take a few bites. Even if he took away most of it, it was better than letting the rotten fish and shrimp in the water get a bargain. It took me many years to understand this truth. People should not fight for a breath, and people should always live for their own interests."

He smiled at me, without any of the confusion he felt when he lost money or visited a brothel. He stared at me with his two little eyes and said:

"Boss, keep an eye on Bai Feng. Sooner or later... you will know. I have met him twice. If it was just this Young Master Yunhai, he wouldn't be that scary, but... when you meet him, you will know."

Ok……

You’ve even learned to keep people in suspense, Fatty.

I smiled at him and kicked him out of the car.

"Are you done? Get out of here right now. I can't breathe in the same car with you in such hot weather."

Watching him rub his butt and stand up, I shouted to the outside:

"Come visit our Yuxi City when you have time. Live well and don't die in Zhaochen."

Fang Yuan turned around and waved at me:

"See you later, Boss! Remember, we're also whores together...we're brothers!"

You're a hammer bro.

He didn't do anything substantial at all, he just took me to a brothel to listen to some music and satisfy his masturbation.

I shook my head and said nothing more.

The carriage took me slowly all the way to the hotel.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I heard a familiar voice.

"Lid——!! I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

I looked up and saw Li Yi with his hands on his hips, a smile of extreme anger on his face.

I smiled at him too:

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."

"What the hell-"

Before Li Yi finished speaking, a cold shout came from behind:

"do not talk."

Li Yi just shut up.

I looked up at Lord Yunyang who came out from behind and raised my eyebrows.

By the way, I took a look at the man next to my eldest brother Li Yi. Although I haven't seen him for a few years, I could still vaguely recognize him.

My third brother, Lineng, is the selfish city lord whose fiefdom is just to the east of me and who has never allowed the poor people of Yuxi City to seek refuge.

Ha...it's really quite complete.

Lord Yunyang glanced at me, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly:

"Lid, go back to your fiefdom. You have no share in this auction."

I said:

"It's not up to you to decide whether there is one or not. If you have the guts, go and act tough with Lord Yunhai."

My dad shook his head.

He said calmly:

"What I mean is, you don't have to think about buying anything this time. Everything you want will eventually fall into my hands... Yunyang is much richer than you think. And now, Yunyang's money has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and get out of here, and don't embarrass yourself again."

5. I can only be a younger brother

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money -

Although I really want to say this, you can really do whatever you want.

After thinking about it again and again, I found that there is really no better solution.

If it was just my brother, I could easily cheat him out of his fortune, but it would be different if my father and Li Neng were there. Take my father for example, although he is extremely selfish, he is not that stupid.

In fact, according to the general idea, I just need to buy like crazy, drive up prices, and then spend all their wealth.

But the reality is not like this.

First of all, they are clear about “how much money I have”.

Even if there may be some discrepancies, it will not be wrong in general. Yuxi City is very poor, and there is definitely not much money. I got 2,000 gold coins from my brother, plus my own small treasury. It is not difficult for them to find out the news that "there are less than 3,000 gold coins". Anyone who pays a little attention to me knows it.

So they definitely won't bid for me if it's over 3,000. If they're sure I can't afford that much, they'll give up the bid and I'll lose everything.

What's worse is that I actually don't even have 3,000 gold coins, and only have about 1,000 gold coins on me.

At this time, I didn’t dare to gamble.

If my father is willing to go back on his word and try to cheat me, I will easily find myself in a situation where I can’t afford the price I’m asking for. For example, if an item is only worth 500 gold coins, and I deliberately ask for 1,500 gold coins, and if they continue to ask for 2,000 gold coins, and I don’t raise the price any more, they will naturally lose 1,500 gold coins. But if they suddenly decide not to raise the price, not only will I lose 1,000 gold coins, but I will also be in a situation where I’m “in debt of 500 gold coins.”

Should I pin all my hopes on the fact that they “would not go back on their word and would definitely raise the price so that I couldn’t buy it”?

I wouldn't do that.

So, I can only play the role of a younger brother.

I smiled at them and said:

"That's amazing. I wish you a happy shopping."

When I returned to the room, I heard a low discussion behind me:

"How could he be so calm... Could it be that he has come up with a solution?"

"Be careful. Don't expose our economic strength at will."

"Send more people to keep a close eye on his actions..."

Countermeasures.

At least not yet.

The economic gap is too big, just like a person with only one dollar betting against a millionaire. Even if you have good skills, it is difficult to win anything because the other party has countless chances to fail, and you may lose everything with just one mistake or bad luck.

Just wait.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, and besides the auction, I have another purpose for coming this time, which is to confirm whether the Phoenix Legend is really that awesome. Yuxi City is indeed short of talents in internal affairs, but after all, I am here, so nothing big can go wrong.

I'll go to bed today.

After getting up the next day, I went for a walk on the street, and sure enough, someone was following me.

I tried to buy a few small items, and the people behind me immediately offered higher prices. But when I continued to raise the price to an unreasonable level, the people behind me showed obvious hesitation. I immediately gave up raising the price and chose to walk away, but I understood their attitude to some extent.

It turns out that we can't be reckless.

Based on my many years of experience in fishing in troubled waters, I know that times like this are especially important for keeping calm.

Although it is easy to just beat them up, as mentioned before, doing so would mean giving up the cooperative relationship with the Yunhai Territory and being kicked out as a troublemaker.

This is not worth the gain.

Wandering around casually outside, I returned to the hotel at noon to eat the meal prepared by Yunhai.

After walking around for a whole day, I couldn't help but frown.

It’s not because of the guys following behind me, but because I discovered another problem.

Out of stock.

I plan to buy some talents in the field of internal affairs, but the people I interviewed were either idiots with high expectations but low skills or well-known bigwigs. The former are useless, and the latter are simply unaffordable. Even if my brother and his friends didn't make trouble, it would be difficult to select talents that are economical and affordable in a short time.

What kind of crooked things are these...

When asked "Do you know Yuxi City?", half of them answered honestly "I've never heard of it."

If you ask the remaining half, "Do you have any suggestions for the development of Yuxi City?", 80% of them will answer "resist the demons and recuperate."

This is not a wrong answer, but it is too safe and somewhat inconsistent with my thoughts. And what's the point of having you with just such a dry sentence?

Another 20% will give some specific development suggestions, but these are basically the big guys. If you ask again, they will start to avoid the subject and make it clear that they will only continue to serve me if I spend money to buy it.
