Chapter 3624: Poor as Hell

The Falling Stone City in front of Xia Tian and the others is not a city at all.

The city wall has collapsed halfway.

It is in tatters everywhere, even the three words "Falling Stone City" are covered with dust and even spider webs.

Miserable defeat.

This city is as miserable as it can be.

It can't even be called a city.

"Why don't we go in and take a look first." Xia Tian suggested, he also wanted to see what this Falling Stone City is all about.

"Well, we have to go in and take a look." Young Master Lu said helplessly.

When they walked into Falling Stone City, it goes without saying that the buildings in this city are so shabby that they can't be described as shabby. Xia Tian had seen other cities before, and they were all very prosperous, but now looking at this Falling Stone City, it is much worse. It can be said that there are bungalows everywhere, and many of them are temporary. Although there are some buildings, most of them are old buildings, and some are already dilapidated.

Miserable! !

Too miserable.

There were only a few people on the streets of the city, and all of them looked at Xia Tian and his friends with strange faces.

"Is this your Luoshi City?" Xia Tian looked at Master Lu and asked.

"It should be." Master Lu said very embarrassedly.

"Can your city have a total of fifty people?" Xia Tian asked.

"It seems that there should be less than that." Master Lu said.

"You really have been abandoned by your family. You were actually exiled to such a place where no one lives." Xia Tian thought it was very funny. Although he had seen people being exiled before, being exiled to such a place was really interesting. Maybe the other party didn't intend to let him live at all.

Otherwise, there would be no use in being exiled to such a place.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first." Master Lu said helplessly.

The City Lord's Mansion of Luoshi City is the best preserved three-story building in the entire Luoshi City.

Although it is very shabby, it is at least intact.

Dongdongdong.

"Hello, I am the new mayor of Luoshi City. I am here to take over." Young Master Lu came to the door and knocked on the table of the sleeping man.

"Hmm?" The sleeping man was stunned.

"Where is your mayor? I am here to take over!!" Young Master Lu said.

"Hand over?" The man's eyes lit up.

"Hmm." Young Master Lu took out the approval document.

"Great, great, benefactor, someone finally came to take over. Thank you so much." The man was so excited that tears came out.

"Who are you?" Young Master Lu was stunned.

"I am the mayor of Luoshi City. You want to take over, right? Everything is here. I will stamp it now, and then I can be transferred. You are really my great benefactors." The man grabbed the approval document and stamped it directly without saying a word.

"Don't you need to check the city and other financial aspects?" Young Master Lu asked puzzledly.

Generally, the handover takes a month or so.

That is still the simplest handover.

"No need to check. There are 27 people in this city, including me. As for the finances, you can rest assured. We definitely don't owe anyone money." The former mayor of Luoshi City said.

"Owe money to others? I'm asking about the warehouse of the city lord's mansion." said Mr. Lu.

"The warehouse, I'm afraid the rats in it are starving to death. There is no business here, and it is not suitable for agricultural development, so there is no tax, and there is no money at all." The mayor of Luoshi City said.

"A city like this should be a poor city, and there should be subsidies from above. Besides, in a normal city, you should also be able to get a salary." Mr. Lu was even more puzzled.

"Of course there are subsidies. At the beginning, the Lu family may have allocated us one million yuan for development, but after layers of exploitation, there may be less than one hundred yuan left, and we need to give a kickback of ninety-nine yuan for the one hundred yuan, and finally only one yuan is left. As for my salary, except for the gifts, the remaining ones can barely keep me alive, and if I want to buy food, I have to run to cities tens of thousands of kilometers away to buy it." The mayor of the former Luoshi City explained.

Now Xia Tian finally understood why he was so excited just now.

It turned out that he was finally out of trouble.

"Since this is the case here, why don't you leave here?" Xia Tian asked puzzled.

"According to the rules of the Lu family, no matter what the city is like, the city lord cannot defect, otherwise it is a serious crime of killing nine clans. The roots of the one thousand and twenty-four cities in the Lianyun Mountains are all in the city of the Lu family, so no city lord dares to defect." The eldest son of Lu explained.

"Well, that's really hard for you." Xia Tian looked at the mayor of the former Luoshi City with sympathy, and then looked at the eldest son of Lu with the same sympathetic eyes.

The former mayor of Luoshi City jumped out of the fire pit, but Mr. Lu jumped into it again.

"Stop talking, it's all tears, I can finally leave here." The former mayor of Luoshi City laughed wildly, and he ran out in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Mr. Lu would regret it, and he ran away in a flash.

He really escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Xia Tian felt that the former mayor of Luoshi City was so excited that he was going crazy.

It was the same as Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

He was too excited and crazy.

"Hey!!" Mr. Lu sat there and sighed: "Brother, I don't think I can buy this wine."

It's not that he doesn't have money.

But there is not even a tavern here.

"It's okay." Xia Tian said.

"When I was exiled, I was still full of enthusiasm and thought that I could build a career with my own efforts and let those people in the family take a good look, but now" Young Master Lu shook his head in self-mockery. He felt that he had finished his life here.

No one would transfer him away in this life.

Those people in the family wished that he would stay in this place for the rest of his life.

"Are you scared?" Xia Tian sat directly on a chair.

"It's not that I'm scared, but there is no chance for me to work hard here. There are a total of 27 people, no, the original city lord has gone, and there are 26 left, plus me and my eight brothers, a total of 35 people. No matter how hard I work, what can 35 people do?" Young Master Lu is really going to give up now.

Although he is very unwilling, he has no way.

Even if he is given a village, he will accept it.

It's really an abandoned city.

"I think it's good." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

"Hmm?" Young Master Lu looked up at Xia Tian.

"Have you ever thought about why there are still 26 people in a city like this?" Xia Tian suddenly asked.
