Taking leave of everyone, Zhang fan starts to go on the road. He walks slowly and enjoys the beautiful scenery. Although he was with Lu Jiuye every day when he was at the dragon''s home, he talks and laughs, which is very lively. Now Zhang Fan is on the road alone. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery, he feels that he is a little empty and not used to it. Fortunately, Zhang Fan''s adaptability is relatively strong.
After a day''s journey, Zhang Fan has come to Linggu city and found that the town here is indeed very prosperous. Moreover, it can be said that there are many merchants and a lot of traffic.
Zhang Fan took a look at the city in front of him. He couldn''t help nodding in his heart. It seems that the nine princes really know how to choose a place. They actually found such a city to develop. They really don''t lack materials and enjoy it.
As he thought, Zhang Fan walked forward to the gate and entered Linggu city with the flow of people.
It can be said that it''s quite prosperous here. There are all kinds of things to buy, including some things of mortals and practitioners. Whether it''s pills or weapons, or the food and cloth that mortals need, they can be sold here.
The architectural style here is also a bit similar to that of the imperial palace. The buildings are tall, with glazed tiles, green brick floors, and people coming and going, all of which are well-dressed. It seems that there are no white people coming and going.
Zhang Fan also took a look at this ancient city. He couldn''t help thinking that the place where the ninth prince lived was really unusual. He was so prosperous. I don''t know what good things there are in this place.
I bought some rare toys and prepared to take them back to Lu Jiuye and others. It''s not in vain to come here. By the way, I also explained to the dragon family the situation in Linggu city. In the future, the ancient city of Linggu will return to the dragon family.
Not far away from Zhang Fan, there was a stall owner. There were two big pots with peanuts and stew in front of him. He began to yell. At this time, two dogs came in front of him. One in front of him and the other in the back of him were scrambling for a bone. They rushed to the stall.
When the stall owner saw this, he frowned and swung a bamboo stick beside him to drive the two dogs away so that they would not bump into his stall. He was also afraid that the two dogs would salivate over the pot of stewed meat on his stall and affect his business.
"Break up! Break up
A group of people in official uniform pushed and pushed, directly came to a stall in front of them, and directly overturned the stall. The owner of the stall was obviously a mortal, not a warrior. When he saw these people overturning his stall, he was stunned at first, and then he was full of panic. He quickly knelt down on the ground and said to several people in panic: "gentlemen, I don''t know if I have offended you If there are any, please hold high your hand. Don''t see things the same way as me. "
These people are obviously a group of practitioners. The first one is a bald man. His appearance is extremely ugly, especially his eyebrows are very thin, almost the same as none, so it makes people feel very strange.
Baldheaded man came forward with a cold hum, and the stall owner in front of him said, "I''ve given you a day''s grace before, and I also said that if you can''t hand in enough spirit stones, I''ll take someone to lift your stall. Don''t you forget?"
I want to sell the food, but I don''t have enough money to pay for it
After hearing this, the bald man was furious. He slapped the boss on the stall and said, "what are you, you dare to break the rules of Linggu city. According to the rules of our city manager, you can''t buy things here without paying. Don''t you know? Pack up your things and get out of here, or we won''t be blamed for being rude to you. "
City Manager? Zhang Fan always feels a little strange after hearing this official title. He has never even heard of such a position in the city. What on earth is this?
When people around saw this scene, they were all angry and speechless. They shook their heads and sighed and talked in a low voice. They felt sympathy for the stall owner.
"The city manager is a little unreasonable. If he doesn''t agree with you, he will start beating people. The stall owner has said that he will hand in the money after selling a few shares. It''s not that he won''t do it. Why beat people?"
"You don''t come to linggucheng on the first day. The city managers here have a lot of power, especially in the stalls. They have absolute management power, and even the rules of stalls'' charges are set by them. Especially for the stalls'' charges, they are extremely high. Therefore, there is nothing to pay for stalls here It''s a profit. "
"Yes, I used to charge by the day, but now I have to charge by the hour. I feel that the rules made by the city manager are becoming more and more unreasonable."
"What''s more, the city management department has recently made a new plan for all the places in the ancient city of Ling. The site of stalls is getting smaller and smaller, and the business of peddlers is becoming more and more difficult."
"You don''t know that they all act according to orders. These taxes are all the pocket money of the ninth prince. In their opinion, all these are the meaning of the ninth prince, and no one dares to disobey them.""If you want me to say that the nine princes are not a thing. They just like to rob things. Many cities are under his jurisdiction. Therefore, he also wantonly collects money from the people in these cities. It''s really a bit shameful to bully these people with his huge power."
"I can''t help it. Who let them be the princes of the royal family? Besides, the people in the royal family are almost the same, and the rulers are all corrupt and bribed. What''s more, these people below him?"
"Yes, I heard that in the Imperial Palace, some people set up an internal punishment system for the rulers, saying that if officials make mistakes, they can punish some spirit stones to solve the problem without using some laws of the royal family. In this way, many officials of the royal family deliberately made some small mistakes, so as to take this opportunity to bribe the rulers. In this way, they seriously disrupted the legal affairs in the palace. Therefore, in my opinion, the royal family is also a rabbit tail, and it can''t grow any longer. "
Several people spoke in a very small voice, but they were beside Zhang Fan. Those people in the city management department couldn''t hear him, but Zhang Fan was able to make it clear.
Ni Zheng frowned. After hearing these words, he was very angry. When he was the supreme ruler of the royal family, he was always in accordance with the palace law, with clear rewards and punishments, which never happened.
