Chapter 705 705. Do You Welcome Me?
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, a luxurious manor.
This is the manor where the great nobles of Star Luo City settled down. It has an area of tens of thousands of mu of land, connected to mountains, rivers and lakes, and planted with various precious trees and flowers. Just one of them can be worth the total annual expenditure of a middle-class family. , but here, it's just a flower and a grass.
Thousands of sharecroppers are farming in the farmland, or as gardeners, cutting flowers and plants in the back garden planned by the owner's house, and tidying them up neatly has a different aesthetic feeling.
A well-trained bodyguard, fully armed, wearing golden armor, wearing a golden helmet, holding a golden iron sword, the number reached as many as a thousand.
In addition, the strength of each of them is quite good, the weakest one even reaches the level of the thirtieth Great Soul Venerable, and the strongest one even has the level of the eighty-nine Soul Douluo.
And such a powerful bodyguard team is only serving as bodyguards of An's family. From a glimpse, we can see how powerful this An's family's financial power is.
A luxurious mansion tens of meters high is located here. At this very moment, there is a gorgeous party going on inside. Beauties wearing bunny ears and cool clothes are constantly shuttling around the middle-aged man with a big belly. Around me, in the midst of drinking and having fun, accompanied by the sound of wandering.
If there are people who are familiar with the forces of the Star Luo Empire here, they can immediately recognize that the dignitaries and wealthy families of the entire Star Luo Empire are gathered here.
The An family of the hereditary dukes in the past, the Liu family who controlled the empire's large and small sea trade, the Li family who controlled 60% of the empire's grain trade, the Yu family of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family, and the Hua family known as the powerful courtesans. ...
The people inside, whoever is put outside, are all big shots who can make the entire Star Luo Empire tremble with a single stomp.
Even if the emperors of the previous Star Luo Empires were here, they would still have to show courtesy to these people.
After all, in the era of peace, social stability cannot be maintained by fighting and killing.
What's more, many of the people here are powerful and powerful families who control the lifeline of the empire.
Take the Li family, which controls 60% of the empire’s grain transactions, for example. From the ownership of the land where farmers grow grain, to the sale of grain by farmers, and then to the delivery of grain to markets across the empire, it is basically in the hands of the Li family. If the Li family was willing, he would give an order, and the price of grain would soar to sky-high the next day.
It was precisely because of this that the Li family had the greatest opinion on Yang Ming secretly instructing Zhu Zhuqing's Zhu family to open a warehouse to release grain.
After all, cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents, no matter where they are, it is true.
As for the others, they were more or less dissatisfied with Yang Ming's existence, thinking that after Yang Ming left, they would secretly carve up the huge Star Luo Empire and become the uncrowned king.
The Patriarch of the An family, An Dongsheng, was a bloated old man with a white beard. At this time, he was holding a hot bunny girl with one arm, and holding a goblet with blood-red wine in the other.
He looked around, raised his glass high, and said:
"That brat Yang Ming thought he could conquer the Star Luo Empire with his own strength, then he was totally wrong! If it could be that easy, the Spirit Hall would have done it a long time ago. As for working so hard to build the Spirit Empire!"
"If this kid doesn't care about anything, if he is the ruler on the surface, then I won't say anything, but he wants to intervene in the internal affairs of the empire. Not long ago, he even opened a warehouse to release food. Big joke!"
"Those filthy, lowly poor ghosts, the only value of living is when their leeks are harvested by me, why should we sell them the grain at a low price, that Yang Ming is simply a donkey!",
"Now, after our efforts, all the stores under the name of the Zhu family in Star Luo City have been impacted. I'm afraid that brat Yang Ming is already restless and doesn't even know what to do!"
"So, for our victory, everyone, cheers!"
Patriarch An's words were met with applause.
At the same time, everyone with prominent identities raised their glasses to celebrate.
After drinking a glass of wine, a blush appeared on An Dongsheng's fat face, and he said:
"I believe this is just the beginning!"
"Starting from the price of food, we have to start raising prices in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that that big-ass kid Yang Ming knows who is the real boss in this empire!"
Among the crowd, there was a burst of laughter.
Everyone has a happy smile on their face.
The Star Luo Empire has been established for so many years, and the forces behind everyone here have already weaved a tight relationship network. Even these people are related to each other. Maybe if you go back to the genealogy, everyone is still related by blood. Shallow distant relatives.
No matter from the perspective of interests or family relationship, they didn't have any good feelings for Yang Ming, the foreign ruler.
Ever since, there was another burst of applause and thunder at the scene.
Obviously, they are full of optimism about the future.
After all, in their view, the entire empire cannot do without them.
Even if Yang Ming knew all this, so what, would he dare to kill them all?
You must know that if the people here die, the operation of the entire empire will be shut down, and the consequences of stopping the operation will mean that there will be a shortage of supplies in various places, and there will be a lack of personnel management, which will cause great turmoil.
This is an unbearable loss for any ruler.
Even the emperors of the Star Luo Empire in the past knew that there were moths and carrion like them inside the empire, and there was no way to stop them. They could only watch helplessly as the huge empire was divided up by them.
According to their past experience, if someone else informed the Star Luo Empire, they would naturally follow the past rules.
It's a pity that the person they faced this time was Yang Ming, a man who never played cards according to the routine!
"Crack, crack, crack!"
A burst of applause suddenly appeared, and the moment it appeared, it overwhelmed all the noisy voices present.
Surprised expressions appeared on everyone's faces, they turned their heads in unison, and looked in the direction of the applause.
However, the gate of the mansion opened at some unknown time, and all the bodyguards who were waiting outside the gate were gone.
The sunlight outside the door projected into the dimly lit mansion, and fell on Yang Ming, making him look like a fairy born from dust, with a faint golden light all over his body.
"Everyone laughs so happily, how about adding me?"
