When Lin Yinan opened her eyes, she had become a fifteen-year-old girl in ancient times. Before she could even react, she encountered a barbarian invasion and a massacre.
Her mother was strug...
The people of Longtan are really arrogant!
That makes sense, though. At that time, with control of the salt fields, they were invincible.
They even dared to rob the Yu family's iron mine in Xihe County. Just how strong are the people who can stand up to the Yu family?
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Zhong Jia's back, and he couldn't help but shiver. Only then did he realize why he had been so blinded by greed, even wanting bandits to deal with the people of Huilongtan. So, he took the initiative to be friendly, and his tone became much more respectful.
“Lord City Lord, several villages in remote areas of Huaizhou City originally belonged to Chi'an County. At that time, bandits were rampant, so I made a deal with the bandits to protect these villages. Now that the danger to Chi'an has been eliminated, I will return these villages to their rightful owners. What do you think, Lord City Lord?”
“Very well! Then I won’t stand on ceremony with Master Zhong.”
Who would complain about not having enough land?
As the middleman, Chen Xianming saw that they had already shaken hands and made peace, so he naturally changed the subject.
"Lord City Lord, I heard that you are going to hold an auction of shops and houses here in a few days?"

He needs to keep up with Longtan and Chen Xianming so that he can get a share of the pie as soon as possible.
"If Patriarch Chen and Patriarch Zhong have some free time, would you like to stay at Dragon Pool for a couple of days?"
The two of them readily agreed.
After Chen Xianming and the Zhong family head arrived at Longtan, many more wealthy and powerful businessmen followed suit.
For a time, the entire Longtan area was bustling with unprecedented activity.
