Chapter 467 Chapter 460 VII Transformation of the Bandit Den
Chu Tian and his son were puzzled.

It is impossible for Xie Chen to have so many bank notes. Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi must have invested in buying so many shops.

Long Yan certainly doesn't have that many banknotes, and if he can buy one-half of the shops in Yuecheng, his funds must be given by Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi.

The question is, where did Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi get so much money?

No matter how good Ci'an Hall's business was, it couldn't collect so many banknotes in a short period of time.

After they could inquire, they finally learned that when Gu Zheng was digging the foundation, he dug up a pile of gold nuggets!
Chu Tian and his son were half dead with anger.

The land where Gu Zheng built his house was one of the few pieces of land sold by the Chu family.

If they knew that there was a gold nugget underneath, they would not sell it if they were killed.

But thinking of Yuecheng, where fewer and fewer people live, they regained their psychological balance.

*
Half a year later, the various disadvantages of blocking the Fengjiang Ferry were revealed one by one.

All the merchants were complaining about the court's coquettish operations, and all the civil and military officials came forward to lift the blockade of Fengjiang Ferry.

The empress dowager disagreed, and she hadn't got the result she wanted, how could she give up?

The emperor asked Eunuch Xiaoshun: "What should I do?"

Eunuch Xiaoshun replied: "As the saying goes, when the government forces the people to rebel, the people have to rebel. In the same way, if Yue City becomes a barren city and Nanyue King becomes a decoration, he will feel resentful and fear that they will break into the palace.

The emperor felt that what Xiao Shun said made sense.

In order to prevent this incident from happening, the emperor took a very tough attitude.

He quickly decreed to cancel the blockade of Fengjiang Ferry, and announced to the world that the imperial court would never send troops to encircle and suppress Yuecheng, and anyone who spread false rumors would be punished!
The people were relieved and returned to Yue City one after another.

Yuecheng has become a sweet pastry again.

The merchants had no choice but to move their business back to Yuecheng.

Back and forth, heavy losses.

What's more, most merchants have sold their stores cheaply.

Now that I buy it back, I need to add another sum of money.

But what can be done?
I can only blame myself for my lack of foresight, and also blame the court's decision-making, which changes at any time like a child playing house.

The Chu family in Yuecheng lost the worst.

The price of the store in Meicheng quickly fell back to the original price, and they bought more partial ones. They couldn't do business by themselves, and no one wanted to rent them to others.

It's cheap and reluctant, so I can only put it there.

Not to mention that, Long Tang made public the secrets he found.

Knowing that Yuecheng's move to Meicheng was actually done by the Chu family in Yuecheng, all the merchants were filled with righteous indignation, holding guys in their hands, and went to the Chu family in groups to ask for an explanation.

The Chu family would naturally not admit it.

Although they do not admit it, it does not prevent people from throwing garbage and rotten eggs at their door.

As a result, Hechuntang's business plummeted.

Gu Zheng made a lot of money by reselling shops, and with the gold in the space, the funds are absolutely no problem, so he just wanted to make a big splash.

Turn those three bandit dens into Luokang Mountain.

He drew the road map himself, hired migrant workers to open the way, and widened and strengthened the original mountain road, at least to be able to pass a horse-drawn carriage.

With sufficient funds, road construction progressed rapidly.

The next step is to transform the bandit den.

The reason why a bandit's den can become a bandit's den must have its merits.

Secluded, with easy access to water, livable and self-sufficient.

The plan of the bandit den was also designed by Gu Zheng.

All the bandits who had been recruited to surrender participated in the transformation of the bandit den, and became the first generation of legal permanent residents of the bandit den.

Like Luokungshan, Yue Lingzhi promised to exempt them from taxes for the first three years.
