Civilization spreads to another world

The tour group has been in Chang'an Town for more than a month. No matter how fresh Chang'an Town is, they are tired of staying there. In addition, they disdain to have fun with the people, and spend most of their time in the Grand View Garden. The scenery is withered in winter and the weather is cold. It's not easy to hurry in winter, most of them will choose to go back.

The aristocrats are used to being wanton, staying in Chang'an Town can't do this and that can't do it because of their dignity, and their hearts have already flown back to their castle manor.

In your own territory, you can do whatever you want.

Brother and sister Lucini and Joey are one of the people who are looking forward to going back soon. These two have been running to Yihong Courtyard from time to time these days to find out about Princess Delide.

The former was not in a good mood, Lucy Ni originally hoped that Delide would get married and leave the royal city as soon as possible, and spend the rest of her life in this remote countryside, but after a month of observation, she found that Leonis was actually very good, a handsome gentleman and considerate, and a Disciple of the envoy!

Most importantly, the newly built Xiangkui City is actually very prosperous, and the wide cement roads are cleaner than the stone roads in Wangcheng.

She only realized later that Xiangkui City is next to Chang'an Town, wouldn't it be that Xiangkui City is the first to see something new in the future?

Meaning that Delide will always be one step ahead of them in new dresses and accessories, and those beautiful pastries and objects.

Luxini was suddenly jealous and hated, and secretly stomped her feet angrily.

Again!

Why is luck always on Delide's side? !

No, she can't fall behind, she has to come here too!

So after hearing Leonis mention that his two cousins ​​also planned to build a city on the other side, she immediately had an idea in her mind, she wanted to marry Leonis' cousin!

Leonis is the Duke's son, and his cousin is also the Duke's son. Although he is not the eldest son, so what, the most important thing is being close to Chang'an Town and being next to the envoy.

If she married Leonis' cousin, Delide would have to call her cousin!

The more Luxini thought about it, the more beautiful she became, and she wished she could go back to Wangcheng immediately to find the queen's aunt, and ask her to help her decide on the marriage. The excuse was that she had already thought about it, that she didn't want to be separated from her cousin, and that they could take care of each other if they were married.

Although he was also eager to go back, Joey was sad and wanted to escape. He didn't want to see Delide and Leonis making love every day.

If he still wanted to ask his father to help persuade his aunt before, but after listening to the pathology lecture, he completely lost his mind. He didn't want to have a sick child with Delide, that would be too cruel, and it would be too pitiful for the child .

He didn't have the heart to fight with Leonis anymore, he tore up the duel letter he had prepared and burned it, wishing he could leave right away, as long as he wasn't in Chang'an Town, he could go anywhere.

People who want to leave have different reasons, but those who don't want to leave mostly have one reason.

--money.

To some extent, the news of the nobility and the temple are interlinked. Most of the priests and priests in the temple are inextricably related to the nobility, especially the temple in the royal city. Some nobles specially sent their second sons to the temple to be priests, and their illegitimate sons to be servants.

In the case of the eldest son inheritance system, once the father dies, the younger brothers below the eldest son must fend for themselves. If they have a good relationship with their elder brother, they can successfully inherit some of the inheritance given by their father. normal.

For the second sons, entering the temple is a very good way out, especially the temples with looser rules like the Temple of Love and the Temple of Wealth are the most popular.

Although you can't get married and have to dedicate your life to the temple, you don't have to work hard for your livelihood, and your status has not been lowered. Compared with those who were kicked out of the house, died of illness, starvation, and accidental death, it is very good.

Under such a cycle of unspoken rules, the temple and the nobles have long been closely related and inseparable.

Therefore, the nobles are envious of the speed and amount of wealth that the Temple of Fortune has accumulated in the past six months. Not every noble is like Earl Ward who owns a priceless crystal mine and can live a rich life. The titular lord is the main one.

They have no fief and lack of sustainable sources of income (exploitation) income (exploitation). They can only rely on various relationships to obtain management rights. However, every time they hold dances and receptions, they need to spend a lot of money.

Even the aristocrats whose families were not short of money for the time being were envious of the gold and silver brought back by the Temple of Wealth one after another. No one would think that they made more money.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci did not expressly say that they would distribute the management rights to the nobles, but there is no shortage of smart people among the nobles, especially the group of nobles in the royal city who have no fiefs and spend all day thinking about human relationships. He was keenly aware of their meaning in the information that was spread out, and waited calmly.

This month, Shi Yu and Huo Ci were also observing.

These calm people naturally stand out and are included in the candidates for management rights.

Then distribute the bids they have prepared and let them bid by themselves. Each person can only choose two.

The nobles readily accepted this method, especially the ones that were cash-strapped. The nobles loved saving face the most, and no one wanted to expose the bottom line in front of everyone.

There are valuations at the end of each business in the bidding documents. Each nobleman compares his wealth and strength. There are not many duplications in the check box, and it is easy to solve the duplication. Now the market is empty. Let alone two companies, it is no problem to separate out ten. .

On the contrary, Shi Yu and Huo Ci don't want a single family to dominate. Monopoly is not advisable, only competition can make progress.

Therefore, the Temple of Wealth has already taken care of these projects.

Of course, this is because the current market is big enough for them to dare to do this.

In order not to let the Holy See monopolize, Shi Yu and Huo Ci specially summoned Earl Ward.

Many of the nobles who came here were rich, and Earl Ward was not the richest, at least on the surface, and he was not the most prestigious either.

But it is the most suitable.

First of all, he does not have a huge family burden. The Crystal family has been passed down from generation to generation in recent years. In Earl Ward's generation, his father has passed away, and there are not many relatives who even fight Qiufeng.

Basically the Crystal Family is his word for it.

Secondly, compared to other nobles, he is more like a qualified businessman.

If you have money and ability, don't choose who you choose.

You can only choose him.

There is no way, Emperor Mijin is cautious, and most of the nobles who are sent here are dandies who only care about eating, drinking and having fun, and not many are really capable.

Fortunately, he didn't want the royal family to get involved.

but--

"Did you find anything weird?"

Seeing off Earl Ward, Shi Yu frowned.

The conversation with Earl Howard was very pleasant. The nobles in the royal city are generally good at communication, but he is especially outstanding, and he can be said to be able to do a job with ease.

"Slippery." Huo Ci spat out two words.

It was the first time Shi Yu saw him so mercilessly describe a person with such a derogatory term with such clear emotion, and he glanced at him in surprise.

Huo Ci's expression was indifferent: "I have the ability, but the performance is too much."

Especially the way he looked at Shiyu, he didn't like it.

Shi Yu thought about it carefully: "When you say that, it seems to be—by the way, he is too calm!"

Meeting them alone for the first time, everyone was nervous, even the Archbishop of the Temple of Light was very cautious, and Princess Delide had met them a long time ago, and she was still very nervous when talking alone.

But this Earl of Ward was very calm from beginning to end, or calm.

"Courageous? Good attitude?"

He guessed, but felt vaguely wrong in his heart.

Huo Ci softened his tone, and said jokingly: "If put in a TV series, wouldn't this young disfigured earl with a mask and money look like a villain?"

But Shi Yu didn't take it as a joke, and pondered: "Don't say it, it really looks a bit like it."

Recalling the information about Earl Ward, how would a disfigured child grow up in this aristocratic environment that pursues glamor and perfection?

"You said..." he hesitated, "He won't have anything to do with the cult, right? The villain of the cult?"

Huo Ci said calmly: "Maybe, I have been thinking about how these cults develop. Faith alone will not last long. Without enough benefits, who would risk their lives? Of course, they have been unfairly treated, and they only want to revenge on the Holy See Certainly, but not all of them."

"To establish an organization, money is indispensable. It is impossible to support these members in vain. Where does food and drink come from? As a killer? Robbery, um, robbing the rich and giving to the poor? Maybe small organizations are like this, so cults are called cults , but what about the big organizations?"

He stopped and looked at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu tried to answer: "Relying on property? They must have an industry to make a living, and it is aboveboard, with backing..."

Huo Ci nodded with encouragement in his eyes.

"Business is not restricted, and you can walk around, which is an excellent cover." Shi Yu tried hard to put himself into the thinking of the leader of the organization, and the more than half a year of his high-level career as an envoy has finally tempered him a bit. A backer to prevent overturning, or simply develop an aristocrat—isn’t he? Is he really a cult downline?”

Huo Ci's tone was relaxed: "Not necessarily, Earl Ward's character doesn't look like he will be controlled by others, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he is the leader himself."

Shi Yu was startled, and looked at the place where Earl Ward was sitting just now, didn't they come face to face with the leader of the cult?

The names of the Eastern Invincible Demon Cult, the evil king, turning the lights on and off, a certain S organization, etc. flashed before his eyes.

Huo Ci smiled: "It's just a guess, maybe he is really more open-minded just because he has suffered setbacks."

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just a commoner before transmigrating, and even if he transmigrated, he didn't have a golden finger. At most, he learned a few martial arts from Huo Ci, and he hadn't competed with anyone other than him. If he encountered a forceful attack, he would probably kneel. .

In the novel, the protagonist can play with decent cults, but he thinks he can't do it, unless the decency is really unbearable, he thinks normal people will not choose cults.

Huo Ci: "Maybe we really guessed it right..."

"Don't, don't—" Shi Yu covered his little heart.

Huo Ci suppressed a smile: "Okay, whether he is or not, it doesn't hinder our deal with him. It shouldn't be if we can follow so many archbishops. If you are really worried, it's fine if you don't see him in the future. The people below are going to contact him."

As if he was very timid, Shi Yu glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid of those cults coming to make trouble?"

"Thank you" to the Holy See for helping them publicize, they are now public enemies of cults.

As the tourists come over, the residence of the angelic messenger has been completely disclosed. No one knows it. Anyone can come. This is why they dare not let civilian tourists in rashly. If a group of desperate people are let in, people will die what to do.

The slaves sent were screened layer by layer, and no one except the guards were allowed to carry lethal weapons.

Hugging before going out, although it looks very cowardly, but there is no way, he only has one life, he still wants to go home, he doesn't want to be buried here.

"Scared." Huo Ci said frankly, how could he not be afraid, he is not a superman and he doesn't have nine lives, so of course he would be afraid of such a desperate organization.

"We came here in peacetime, so I'm afraid we won't be ashamed." He patted Shiyu on the shoulder.

Shi Yu muttered, "I don't feel ashamed."

Huo Ci raised his hands in surrender, perfunctory: "Okay, okay, don't be ashamed."

Shi Yu looked sideways, he put down his hands resolutely, and said seriously, "I am ashamed, I feel ashamed."

That's more or less.

Shi Yu withdrew his gaze, completely unaware that the way the two of them got along had changed obviously.

Huo Ci looked at him with a smile on his lips.

After getting the right to operate, the nobles began to evacuate, and the archbishops also left together. In the end, only Princess Delide, Prince Joyce, and a few children who happened to follow the nobles to play were left, waiting for the academy to start.

The news that the envoy established the academy and opened it to the outside world spread as early as the Spring Festival, and when the nobles and the Holy See left, many people flocked to it.

Chang'an Town couldn't get in, so they gathered in Xianggui City, and Leonis hurried back to maintain order.

With the departure of the nobles and the Holy See, the news spread farther and farther.

People kept coming from all directions, gathering in Xianggui City and the two new cities that had started to be built on the other side.

Finally, under the eyes of everyone, in mid-February, the academy opened for registration.
