Wofeng City.

Wofeng City was already a bit hot in July, but it was much more comfortable than Jinling.

Especially when the sun sets and the wind blows from the Xiushui River, the summer heat disappears and one feels refreshed.

However, Yun Xiyan has not been feeling very happy these days.

He followed the Earl of Ding'an... yes, now he is called the Duke of Shengguo. He followed the Duke of Shengguo's reputation to participate in the special examination, and followed the Duke of Shengguo's footsteps to come to Wofeng Road to serve as an official.

He didn't expect that the Duke of Shengguo would only stay in Wofengdao for half a year before leaving, and once he left... he would never come back.

More than half a year later, he went to the deserted country and won a great victory that shocked the world!

He occupied the Wilderness Country and turned it into an autonomous region under the jurisdiction of the Wu Dynasty... This autonomous region is probably similar to the Wofengdao Special Economic Zone, but the autonomous region is too large, and no one knows how the Holy Kingdom Council will manage it.

But soon after, new news came - the Duke of Shengguo adopted the strategy of using the barren people to control the wasteland. This move was not only amazing to Yun Xiyan, but even the current Wofeng Daotai Ning Yuchun was silent for a long time after hearing the news, and even said "amazing" three times!

Today, Wofeng Road has lost the vitality it had last year due to the departure of Duke Sheng.

The road is being repaired as usual.

Workshops in various places that started operations last year have now entered normal production.

Goods have been produced in an endless stream and have been sold to various parts of the Yu Dynasty.

It seemed more prosperous, but Ning Yuchun, Yun Xiyan and others understood the crisis behind this prosperity - those big businessmen, such as the five major business families of the Yu Dynasty, except for the Bianhe Wangsun Family, the other four families actually sent people to the Wu Dynasty!

Even the original barbarians in Wofeng City, such as Xiangtai Tower, Liufuji, Piaoxiang Garden, Jinxiufang, etc., also sent their capable sons to the Wu Dynasty.

Merchants have the most sensitive sense of smell. When Fu Xiaoguan came to Wofengdao, they knew that Wofengdao would inevitably rise.

They were not mistaken. Today, Wofeng Dao has become the leader among the fourteen Daos of the Yu Dynasty in just one and a half years!

This is not because Wofengdao has any unique conditions, but because of Fu Xiaoguan!

He is about to return to the Wu Dynasty and he is about to become the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, then the entire Wu Dynasty will be full of business opportunities.

For example, there are two recent pieces of news: Shengguogong is planning two commercial cities, one is the Autonomous Region Lanqi Commercial City, and the other is Xinzhou Commercial City.

These two cities are under construction, but businessmen are already discussing what these two commercial cities will look like, and are thinking about buying a few shops after these two commercial cities are built.

Goods produced in Wofengdao can also be sold in those two commercial cities, and the Duke of Shengguo will definitely welcome it.

This is the expectation. Anything done by Fu Xiaoguan will bring excellent expectations.

Yun Xiyan believed that the two commercial cities would definitely prosper, and he believed even more that the Wu Dynasty would rise rapidly.

Opportunity!

It’s a pity that the Duke of Shengguo did not take away the person he personally selected.

Yun Xiyan sat in the office and pondered, thinking that if the Duke of Shengguo issued an order, the county magistrate of Wofeng Road would probably run away.

By the way, Zhuo Donglai and his men are still staying in Wofeng Road. They are warriors and have no real power here. They are here to learn.

When the Duke of Sheng returns, they will definitely go back. No, I have to go find Zhuo Donglai. I have to follow the Duke of Sheng too!

Thinking of this, Yun Xiyan suddenly became energetic.

He strode out and happened to meet Zhuo Donglai and his group coming back from outside.

Zhuo Donglai's face was full of joy, as if he had picked up gold.

"What are you so happy about? Tonight, I invite you all to Sifanglou for a gathering."

Zhuo Donglai was startled. "What good news?"

"What the hell, I'm just feeling down and want to have a drink with you guys."

After nearly a year of getting along, the young men had already become familiar with each other. Zhuo Donglai laughed out loud: "Great, great, today is the perfect time to get drunk and celebrate!"

Yun Xiyan's eyes widened. "What are you celebrating?"

"Hehe..." Zhuo Donglai leaned over and whispered, "Our army is approaching the Yi Kingdom's capital, and the Yi Kingdom has changed its emperor!"

Yun Xiyan opened his mouth in astonishment. "No, why are you so happy about the change of emperor? It's not like the Wu Dynasty occupied the Yi Kingdom."

Zhuo Donglai punched Yun Xiyan in the chest. "You don't understand this, do you? This is His Highness's plan! The new emperor is the Sixth Prince. He once went to the Wu Dynasty to participate in a literary gathering and lost an arm because of His Highness."

"Before he ascended the throne, he followed my father's army to the Chi Le Chuan Autonomous Region. Only after meeting Your Highness did he receive the yellow robe. Do you understand?"

They were all smart people, and Yun Xiyan understood it as soon as he heard it.

This is the emperor supported by Fu Xiaoguan!

He did not occupy the Yi Kingdom openly, but in fact the Yi Kingdom was already under his control!

This guy seems to be planning to do something big!

As a result, among the five major countries in this world, only the Yu Dynasty and the Fan State were not actually controlled by him.

The Wu Dynasty gained a vast territory and also a child emperor who was obedient to his orders. He was going to accomplish something big!

"Come on, let's go drink now!"

Yun Xiyan was excited. It was obvious that following an emperor like Fu Xiaoguan would have a better future.

…

…

The square building of Wofeng City.

A group of teenagers crowded around a table. The dishes had been ordered and the wine had been served.

Zhang Mengze was overjoyed. "Your Highness is so talented that we can hardly even compare to him. Thinking back to the Military and Literary Meeting last year, I'm ashamed of myself!"

"You, Yun Xiyan, don't know this, but all ten of us participated in a literary gathering. It was on Hanshan Mountain. We thought we could defeat His Highness, but we didn't expect that after three literary gatherings, we would be completely defeated!"

He shook his head and sighed, "At that time, we were still unwilling to accept it. We thought that although we lost in terms of poetry and prose, when it came to marching, fighting, governing the country, he, the little official Fu, was definitely not as good as us. So what happened?"

"I'm so ashamed, so ashamed. How can we even be even a fraction as good as Your Highness?"

Yun Xiyan opened the wine, poured it one by one, and said with a smile: "Do you feel helpless in front of him?"

"That's the right word. With one trick, they lured the tiger away from the mountain. Sixty thousand Divine Sword soldiers fought a battle on the surface of the Xiao River, completely annihilating the 500,000-strong army of the Desolate People. Eight thousand Divine Sword soldiers stormed the Desolate Court and captured the King of the Desolate Kingdom alive... If we weren't born in this era, future generations reading history books would definitely find it hard to believe!"

"Take the idea of ​​governing the barbarians by using the barbarians themselves. Is this something that an ordinary person could come up with? This is your highness's confidence! Without a broad mind, how can there be great wisdom?"

The ten young men of the Wu Dynasty all praised him and admired him.

"Come on, come on, drink some wine..."

The scene suddenly became lively, and everyone became more and more excited as they drank.

Yun Xiyan seized the opportunity and asked inconspicuously while still drunk: "Master Zhuo, when are you planning to return home?"

"Roughly at the end of the year, that's when Your Highness should be returning home."

"Oh... take me with you then."

"What are you doing in Wu Dynasty?"

"Let's conquer the world together with your Highness!"

“Hahaha…Okay!”
