"Well, Wen is all my wealth, you can do whatever you want. Money is mine!" Ye Lang threw out those long-dormant contracts, land deeds, house certificates and other tools, and threw them aside. Scared Seventh Brother, he used his rarely used high-end skills to collect all the tools.
"Just keep the gold and silver coins for yourself. There aren't many of them anyway. They're not as valuable as these and they're not of much use." Seventh Brother said indifferently. All he wanted was the wealth, not pure money.
"I don't know if it's not as valuable as those, but there are a lot of them!" Ye Lang said temptingly, wanting Seventh Brother to come and beg him, as if he were offering a treasure.
"How much is it, ten thousand or twenty thousand?" Seventh Brother said with disdain.
"Tsk, that time I won, Ling Fei Po, and I damn well won hundreds of thousands of gold coins. To show my displeasure, I asked them to exchange all of them for gold coins for me. Let me tell you, if I take out the gold coins in here, I can crush you all to death." Ye Lang said with disdain, his mouth raised.
"Thirteen, I was wrong. Take out those gold coins and crush me to death!" Seventh Brother looked at Ye Lang with shining eyes.
Hundreds of thousands, this is just one time, if there are others, doesn’t that mean there are at least millions?
"I'll crush you to death, but Sister Qi won't fight me to death. I'm not that stupid! Let's go, I'm going back to rest. I've been pestered by people talking about me for two days and haven't slept at all." Ye Lang yawned and prepared to go back to the hotel to sleep.
"Where are you going back to?" the Seventh Princess spoke at this time.
"Let's go back to the hotel. What's wrong?" Ye Lang was confused.
"Of course not, don't forget, you are now the little king here, and this is your palace." Forget it, let's call it a mansion, this doesn't look like a palace at all. "The seventh princess looked at the house and was really embarrassed to call it a palace.
"Oh, yes, I'm the king here now. No, I don't want to be called a king. This broken place, how can it be called a kingdom? We don't need a kingdom. We'll change the name to something else in the future!" Ye Lang only then remembered that his brother had won everything here. If he wanted to sleep, he could do it here.
"What city? What kind of name is that? Also, why don't we have a kingdom, but a city? Wouldn't that mean we're controlled by others?" someone raised a question.
"What city? I haven't thought of a name yet, so I'll just replace it for now." Ye Lang said, and this is what many people have already expected.
"As for what you said about being controlled by others? Who said that the city will be controlled by the country? We are a city that does not belong to any country. Everything is decided by the city lord." Ye Lang's words were a bit confusing.
"Isn't this the same as a small kingdom? Many people hinted that they didn't understand.
"It's different. A small kingdom is a country, and a city is a city! This kind of city can be without national borders, which can make many people eliminate the sense of national identity. Naturally, many people will be willing to come to this city to do things that require freedom, such as trade." Ye Lang's words confused more people, and they didn't understand what these specific words meant.
However, some people do understand, and from the gleam of joy in their eyes, you can tell that they know!!
"That's right, we are a city, a free city! Abandon the national image, abandon the military, and establish a city that is purely commercial!" Seventh Brother's eyes sparkled, and he looked eager to try, as if he wanted to quickly see what this city would look like in the future.
"Thirteen, you are truly a genius. If you are willing, you will definitely become the king who dominates the continent!!" The seventh and third brothers both spoke highly of Ye Lang, and their words came from the heart.
"I don't agree! These are all your business. I'm not familiar with this and I'm not interested! I'd better be my prodigal son. Go to bed. I haven't seen the girl in my dreams for a long time. I wonder if she will be angry with me." Ye Lang continued to yawn. Then he chose a room to sleep.
"Dream girl, just dream on!" Ye Lanyu, the Seventh Princess and the others didn't believe in Ye Lang's dream girl at all, and didn't believe she really existed.
But no one would know that this girl in the dream really existed and would chat with Ye Lang every night as long as Ye Lang had time.
"Hey, brother, you're running around now. You don't even know what's going on here. Let someone take care of it for you first." Ye Lanyu watched Ye Lang walk away. Then he remembered that this was the property he had just taken over, and there were many things that needed to be sorted out.
"Alright, everyone get busy. This city will be our new beginning! According to our Ye family's tradition, this place will be called Ye City! Inform the Ye family that we are here." Ye Yi reminded them. In order to prevent Ye Lang from making up a random name, and not wanting to use the name Tianjiu City, he came up with a name of his own.
Yecheng, just like Ye's house, is a very well-known name, and it will definitely affect many people.
Of course, Ye Yi had considered that there were some people here who were not from the Ye family, but this city was won by Ye Lang and was Ye Lang's wealth. It was not actually shared with others, so there was no need to consider their feelings and thoughts.
Besides, Ye Yi didn't think these people would stay together. They were just fleeing together, but that didn't mean they would work together to do something. They also had their own ideas and their own paths.
As mentioned above, some people settle here temporarily, then go on to develop their own paths. While the future of this city remains uncertain, they can find new niches among other major nations. While some choose to stay and grow together, forging a new world with Ye Chengtian and his companions, others tire of the struggle and choose to retreat into seclusion. However, the majority choose to stay here because it promises to be a free city, free from all the fighting.
It is also for this reason that many extraordinary people have chosen to settle here in the future, because the environment here is very much to their liking. They don’t have to be bothered by others, nor do they have to be humble to anyone.
Ye Lang, unwittingly, created a legendary city. Although he only provided an idea and didn't even have a hand in creating the prototype, future generations have always believed that he was the one who created this city!
Of course, Seventh Brother was also immortalized and praised by later generations, saying that without him, there would be no Yecheng, and he was a great hero!
If Seventh Brother knew about these things that would be said in the future, he would definitely curse and swear at the meritorious officials. He did the most, but his reputation wasn't as high as Thirteen's. "Goddess, you are too partial. Why do you give all the good things to Thirteen? And don't leave anything for his Seventh Brother!"
Of course, at this time, the Seventh Brother would not know about this matter. He was just counting Ye Lang's wealth.
"kao!"
"I am kao!!"
"I kaokaokao!!!"
As Brother Seven was counting, he would curse and yell every once in a while, because this list was truly surprising and beyond his imagination!
"Although I knew Thirteen was amazing, I never thought he would be so amazing. He actually has so much unexpected wealth under his name..."
The third brother was also bored at this time, so he looked at Ye Lang's things with the seventh brother. Of course, there were not only three of them, but many other people were also watching because they were also very curious and wanted to know how much wealth Ye Lang, this god-like prodigal son, had.
"Dongming Lake Louwailou is the most famous restaurant in the Soaring Sky Empire, and even the entire continent, in recent years. He owns 70% of the shares!!"
"Xishan Iron Mine, the largest iron mine recently discovered, is owned by him alone..."
"He's actually a member of Anna's mercenary group. Uh, I've heard of this before, but it's still surprising."
"Seventh Brother, these are nothing. If you look at this, you will find it even more amazing!"
"What?! Holy shit, this guy actually has a city!!! And it's a newly emerged city!!"
In Seventh Brother's hand was a contract that Ye Lang had somehow obtained. It meant that a city lord transferred the city to Ye Lang, and it had a signature that could not be forged.
In other words, the first city Ye Lang acquired was not actually Yecheng, but another one.
Although Ye Lang's wealth is diverse, most of them have one thing in common, that is, these wealth were originally lost, and they were things that others wanted to get rid of but were too late to do so. Ye Lang wanted to squander his wealth and then take it over.
As a result, although many of them still suffered losses, achieving his goal - to ruin their families, many of them turned their fortunes around later and made huge profits!
So, when they were taking inventory, the city said something about the recent...
"Seventh Brother, you have made a fortune this time. You can play however you like. Poor me, I am now a commander without any troops, even without subordinates." The third brother sighed. The seventh brother found his own interests, but he did not.
He is a military genius, but the city is not going in this direction now, so how can he play? Besides, he really has no troops under his command, not even one.
"Don't worry, although we have built a free city, we still have to be on guard against others. There will be an army for you to lead, and I believe it will be here soon. Then it will be up to you!!" Ye Yi had not left at this time. In fact, it was not because he wanted to hear or say anything, but because he was expecting the servants to clean up the house.
"That's good, but there are no major battles here, alas..." The third brother was excited for a moment, and then he immediately felt disappointed. Even if he annexed all the surrounding areas, it would not interest him. None of them were as large-scale as the small wars in the Xiangkong Empire, not to mention that their policy was not to attack or invade.
"Third brother, why are you so stupid? There's nothing here. Why don't you go somewhere else? Just leave a group of people here for defense. You can take people to participate in the war as mercenaries. This way you can train soldiers and make money!!" said the seventh brother, pointing out the direction for the third brother. Of course, his other purpose was also very obvious -
This is a way to make money!!
"Although your purpose is despicable, this is a good idea!" The third brother looked down on the seventh brother and added, "You have to provide the military funds, and our profits will go directly into the military funds!"
“…”
In this way, a strange mercenary group appeared on the continent. They only participated in war missions and never did other tasks. What was magical was that the casualty rate of this mercenary group was almost zero.
Everyone knows that this mercenary group has a magical leader who seems to be able to see through everything on the battlefield, predict danger, and avoid anything that harms them.
Of course, not only the leader is amazing, but also the mercenaries are amazing. Almost every one of them is a master, and they are different from ordinary mercenaries. There is a tacit understanding between them, just like a real army, with high coordination.
Needless to say, this mercenary group was formed by the third brother. Their characteristics are high fees and high efficiency.
And those mercenaries seemed to be the Ye family’s secret army that arrived later!
…
In the early morning, everything seems to be the same as yesterday, except that things and people have changed!
This time Ye Lang won the city. Although it was difficult for the people in the original city to accept it, they had King Gao Fei's suicide note as evidence, which left them with no reason to resist.
However, what would happen if they resisted, if they did not recognize King Gao Fei's will?
They might not know what the situation would be, but the result would definitely be the same: Ye Chengtian and the others would take control of the government here. This was why they had never considered whether the people of Yecheng would object or disagree. It was simply because they were not afraid of not being able to take over the city!
Ye Chengtian and others also sent a message to the outside world that their city would withdraw from the Thirteen Alliance because they did not want to belong to any force and they wanted to remain neutral.
Because of this, there were some frictions with the Twelve Allied Nations. However, under the strong operation of the Ye family, the Twelve Allied Nations eventually gave up the idea of letting Ye Cheng return, and even wanted to cooperate with it in the end.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner...
In a dream...
"Are you willing to come and see me? I thought you didn't want to see me anymore!!" When the girl in the dream saw Ye Lang appear, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly frowned and spoke unhappily.
"If I didn't want to see you, I wouldn't have come!" Ye Lang replied nonchalantly, seemingly unaware of the other party's anger.
"Hmph, you just don't want to come and see me. Forty-one days have passed and you haven't shown up yet. Do you know how long I've been waiting here alone?!" the girl in the dream said angrily.
"Forty-one days? Didn't you just say that?" Ye Lang said in a daze.
“…”
The girl in the dream was immediately speechless. After a long while, she said, "Tell me, why have you been gone for forty-one days?"
"I can't tell you this. Once I tell you, we'll wake up immediately." Ye Lang said, shaking his head.
"Oh, does this have something to do with your identity?" The girl in the dream understood.
Both of them knew that as long as something related to their identities happened, such things would happen, which would make them wake up immediately!
