Chen Hao did not think much of it. He did not know how expensive rice and firewood were without being in charge. He did not have much of an idea and did not lack money to spend.

They continued with the topic from earlier, chen Hao was still a little nervous as he said, “Even if it does not affect us, I’m afraid that there will be many more people from the Great Xia Manor on the day of the assessment. I heard that there are many geniuses in the Great Xia Manor. There are a lot of fifth or sixth level of Kaiyuan, and there are also quite a number of seventh or eighth level ones. Ah Yu… do you think they will laugh at us when the time comes?”

Su Yu did not think much of it. “What’s there to laugh about? Losing them to the southern Yuan Empire might not be as good as yours! We might have a bad start, but we’re all the same when we get to the Great Xia mansion. By then, their progress will definitely not be as fast as ours.”

He did not look down on the people from the Great Xia mansion, nor did he look down on the people from the southern Yuan City.

It was a little harder for people from small places to start, but when they got to the Great Xia mansion, they were treated equally. As long as they were not distracted and were willing to work hard, it was not like there were not many people who were able to stand out.

“Alright then!”

Chen Hao stopped talking about this matter and very quickly asked curiously, “Ah Yu, what are you planning to do these few days? The academy will have a holiday in a few days. Why don’t we go out and play together?”

“I’m not interested.”

Su Yu had a lot of things to do these few days. He had to repair his “Thunder”underling and cultivate his thunder origin blade. He was preparing to kill a mid-stage thousand jun cultivator. He still had to read books and increase his willpower. There were so many things to do that he did not have the time to play.

“Cultivate well. You are not allowed to go anywhere!”! “I’m just guessing. It doesn’t mean that the number of people in Nanyuan is the same as before. You had better be at fifth level of Yuan opening. That way, your chances will be higher. Otherwise, it’s normal for some poor students to be eliminated. After deducting one or two spots, there might be you!”

Su Yu did not use a single drop of the three drops of Yuan Qi liquid that Chen Hao’s father had given him.

However, he had consumed too much during these few days of cultivating the Thunder Essence Blade. He could not recover from it. He also did not open the Baihui acupoint, so he could not take the initiative to absorb Yuan Qi. This also caused Su Yu to be severely depleted.

These two days, he was prepared to swallow a drop of Yuan Qi liquid to greatly replenish himself. It would be better for Chen Hao to cultivate here.

“Alright then.”

Chen Hao’s face was gloomy. He had to read books again. If he had known earlier, he would not have come to Ah Yu’s place.

..

At the same time.

Nanyuan City Lord’s mansion.

City Lord Wu Wenhai, long wuwei Shi Chang Xia Bing, Liu Wenyan, the old mansion master, the Hall Master of the wind-seizing hall… Many high-ranking officials had gathered here.

Wu Wenhai and the others sat down, they went straight to the point and said, “Everyone knows about the matter. The Great Xia mansion means that each person has one family. In other words, if each family has two children, they have to buy two houses. Those that are more than 100 square meters, and those that are less than 100 square meters are not counted!”

The old mansion master tugged at his beard and sucked in a breath of cold air. “The Marquis is… Too Evil!”

Wu Wenhai pretended not to hear him and continued, “Also, the time for the assessment is very tight. Open a special channel to handle it and levy a tax of 10% !”

”…”

This time, Liu Wenyan could not help but ridicule, “Is this money from the southern yuan or the great Xia Manor?”

“The Great Xia manor and the southern Yuan are split 50-50!”

Wu wenhai smiled and said, “It’s a good thing. In any case, Lord Marquis Xia is at the front. We’ll just take the money. It has little to do with us. The ones who were complaining were the people from the Great Xia Manor. If you have the ability, then don’t come. There are only benefits and no disadvantages for the southern Yuan.”

The old manor head frowned and said, “I’m just afraid that they’ll take our spots in the end.”

“That won’t happen. What the higher-ups are saying is that the initial number of recruits will be more or less the same this time. The difference between the top and bottom won’t be too big. The possibility of two people will not be reduced by too much in one go.”

Wu Wenhai reassured him, he said again, “This is actually beneficial to us. Originally, the Great Xia manor was going to be reduced across the board. Even if they were to be split equally with us, they would still lose a quarter of the spots. This time, not only will they not lose anything, they will also be able to earn a sum of money. Southern Yuan isn’t rich either, so we can take this opportunity to earn some money. In the future, we will also be able to allocate more funds to various departments.”

Everyone nodded, seeing this, Wu Wenhai said, “It’s settled then. It’s useless for us to oppose it. “I’ve gathered everyone this time mainly to let everyone go back and tell the students not to feel any pressure and not to act rashly. The higher-ups will consider the matter and not disregard our thoughts and act rashly

“Also, the Great Xia Manor will definitely be a little chaotic recently. The members are all in a mess. The wind-seizing hall and the city guards should be prepared for safety and defense to prevent the people from the myriad clans sect from taking advantage of the chaos. We must also be wary of them fanning the flames and guiding public opinion!”

Wu Wenhai said seriously, “Some people don’t understand and spread the news. Once the people from the southern yuan think that outsiders have encroached on their spots and interests, it will definitely cause some trouble. We must be vigilant about this matter!”

Everyone hurriedly agreed. Wu Wenhai heaved a sigh of relief, he smiled and said, “Also, the higher-ups are saying that we should try our best to keep these guys in the southern yuan. They are all rich people. The development of the southern Yuan is not fast, its resources are limited, and its economy is not developed. This time, they are giving themselves to us for free… No, they are giving themselves to us for free!”

“If they stay, then the southern Yuan will develop even better in the future. Also, the Academy… has an additional plan to make money.”

“What?”

Wu wenhai smiled and said, “The Marquis said that all the examinees must be affiliated to the Academy!”! In other words, when those people come to the southern yuan, they have to enter a medium-sized academy. How much is a place on the list of academies? You guys can decide for yourselves. Don’t be too ridiculous!”

Liu Wenyan sucked in a breath of cold air. “This fatty… Cough Cough, Lord Xiahou is plucking feathers from a wild goose! He’s raising taxes, relying on the school, and buying houses. He Won’t stop until this family pulls out a few million!”

Wu Wenhai also smiled wryly. “Lord Xiahou is like this. He also said that you don’t have to spend money if you don’t want to. He didn’t force anyone to spend money. If you have the ability, you can get into the Great Xia Manor by yourself. He didn’t do anything to you. Tell me… who can do anything to him?”

“Lord Xia Hou’s means of earning money…”the old manor head clicked his tongue. After a long while, he said, “I don’t know if the old man of Great Xia knows. If he knows… I’ll beat him to death!”

“Then it’s none of our business.”

Wu Wenhai said without any sincerity, “As long as Lord Xia Hou can hold on by himself. Of course, he’s used to it. Just scold him if you want. It’s not the first time anyway.”. A few years ago, the Marquis opened a black market secretly and traded a large number of merit points. He blackmailed the wealthy of the great Xia manor by tens of billions. In the end, it was all settled.”

When these words were said, everyone had different expressions.

Merit points had a hierarchical system. Some people might not be able to buy things even if they had money.

In the end, a few years ago, the Great Xia Manor opened a black market. As long as you had money, you could buy anything you wanted!

Of course, the price was ridiculously expensive.

Moreover, using merit points to trade, the price of a single merit point on the black market was raised to more than 100,000. Not only that, the price of the things you bought was also doubled!

This was repeated over and over again, and that was the difference of more than ten times.

Just like that, there were still many wealthy people who flocked to it. In the end, they were all taken away by someone. It was Lord Xia Hou’s good deed!

The merit points that the wealthy people bought were all wasted in the end!

Xia Longwu personally took care of it!

He did not confiscate the merit points, but he could only trade according to normal merit points. Those that could not be bought still could not be bought. The merit points were placed on the account. Some people bought hundreds of thousands of merit points, their merit points could only buy a few hundred of that kind of material. Even if they had money, they would not be able to spend it!

They could not secretly trade with others because these people were on Xia Longwu’s list. Who Dared to trade in secret… weren’t they afraid that the people trading were taught by the Wan clan?

After this matter, Lord Xia Hou kept a low profile for a few years. Now, he was out to make money again!

That time, it was said that he made tens of billions, or even more. As for where the money went, no one knew, and no one dared to ask. Anyway, this money did not belong to anyone else. It was all bought voluntarily by some rich dog.

When Wu Wenhai mentioned this matter, Liu Wenyan and the others did not say anything. If it were not for Xia Longwu’s extremely serious and iron-blooded attitude, they would have suspected that he was fishing to enforce the law back then.

In any case, the ones who lost in the end were those rich people. The impact on others was limited, so there were not many people discussing this matter.

However, during that period of time, Lord Xia was scolded terribly by those rich people. It was also at that time that the reputation of pig head Xia spread.

Everyone cheered when Lord Xia was mentioned.

Liu Wenyan was also laughing. He could not help but sigh in his heart.

It was unknown how many times this fatty Xia had taken the blame. Currently, it was likely that not many people would remember the suave and suave young lord Xia from fifty years ago.

Half of the sky in the Great Xia manor was supported by that fellow who was called pig-head.

Unfortunately, everyone was ignorant and followed the same path. There were a few people who knew about this.

With a pig statue on his face and a clear voice in his heart, this was the name of Lord Xia who was constantly being cursed.
