Chapter 440 Snow Mountain Resources
Shen Yu held his forehead, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore, and waved his hand, "Manager Lu, please help him with the formalities. The registration fee for the hero is five taels, and the certificate of passing the customs is five taels. If he wants to form a team by himself, he will have to pay another twenty taels. Not a single copper coin can be less!"
"Why!!"

When everyone turned around, they saw that the white jade teacup in Cangyu's hand was broken into pieces, and the tea was spilling out of his hand. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean bit by bit as if it didn't matter, but his sharp eyes were fixed on Nie Jing from head to toe.
The room was filled with the aroma of tea, and a cold feeling quickly spread throughout his body, just like the feeling of being suddenly stared at by a poisonous snake in the jungle. Nie Jing could only shudder, and his intuition told him that this person was very dangerous.
He knew that Shen Yu had two more dragon guards following him than the last time they met, so this must be one of them? As for the other one... his eyes happened to meet Mu Hao's, and both of them were stunned, but soon looked away.
Seeing that he was finally willing to shut up, Shen Yu was about to continue the discussion, but she turned around and saw Shopkeeper Lu's expression of wanting to speak but not wanting to. She raised her eyebrows, "Is Shopkeeper Lu in trouble?"
She was very fond of both of Butler Lu's sons. Their family had been butlers of the palace for several generations. This generation of Butler Lu had two sons. The eldest brother was named Lu Changxing, who was the designated butler of the future Zhuo Palace. He would take over as soon as his father retired. He had stayed in Zhuocheng to manage the palace all these years.
The youngest son is named Lu Changlin. He is young but smart. He has always wanted to be the shopkeeper since he was young.
Back then, his father took away half of his trusted men in the palace to Luocheng to take care of little Lu Yingxing. His brother was ordered to temporarily manage the Zhuocheng Palace. No one cared about him, and Lu Changlin, who was only thirteen years old at the time, actually ended up working as a waiter in the palace's shop.
Over the years, under the premise that several old executives in Prince Zhuo's Mansion had been bribed, he cheerfully played favorites and collected evidence quietly. The reason why the 'secret agency' was able to find all the parasites so quickly and accurately this time was all thanks to the information he provided.
This man was both brave and resourceful, and he acted after careful planning. Even his father and brother didn't know that he had secretly collected so much evidence of his crimes, and each one of them was well-founded and there was even evidence that some of the parties involved thought had been destroyed long ago.
It is for this reason that Shen Yu dared to hand over the affairs of the entire Nan County Employment Union to him. This will be the top priority of Prince Zhuo's Mansion for many years to come.
Shopkeeper Lu glanced at Nie Jing. He knew that the princess would not stop her subordinates from giving suggestions. On the contrary, she often gave them opportunities to express themselves.
So he gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts, "Princess, in fact, those people in the martial arts world... also need a leader."
Shen Yu obviously didn't expect him to say this, "You want us to do it ourselves?"
"Yes, the secret guards of the palace are good and can join the team, but I found that they have no say among those martial artists, so we are a martial artist with status..." After saying this, he looked at Nie Jing.
Shen Yu frowned slightly, with a bit of undisguised curiosity and doubt in his tone, and asked naturally, "Are you talking about Nie Jing? Can he do it? Isn't he a bandit?"
Nie Jing was instantly furious when he heard this. He slammed the table and stood up, saying defiantly, "I, Nie Jing, was once a well-known boss of the largest Yunshan Village in Yuncheng!"
Shen Yu looked at her with a calm expression, and said lightly, "Oh, in the past, and didn't you say you were the third in command? So you lied to me before? You are a liar, why do you think I would give you this task?"
Nie Jing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He looked very angry and kept muttering, "This is my best friend's niece! This is my best friend's niece! This is my best friend's niece!"
"Puchi!" Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this.
In fact, Manager Lu's suggestion is not a bad idea. The right to speak in Nan County will never be handed over to others, but there are indeed not many people available in her palace in the underworld. Even if they are willing to expose their names in "Tongtian Tower", it cannot change the fact that they are not active in the underworld.
The snow mountain resources outside the region will be Zhuocheng’s most valuable brand and bargaining chip in the future...
The Linyue Kingdom she knew was very idle. The five bosses never had the heart to compete with each other. She was used to reading all kinds of palace fighting and power-seeking stories. The plot of Linyue Kingdom was just like a leisure farming story...
The emperor has no ambition to dominate the country, and other royal dukes have no desire to invade other cities. They are only concerned with developing their own territories. It can be said to be very strange, but this is very much to Shen Yu's liking. It is simply a must-have country for retirement and pension!
The five cities near Guangdong each have their own advantages. Luocheng has rich fertile fields, streams running through the city, mature waterways, pleasant soil and climate, and a large forest outside the area, with an endless supply of wood, food, and voluntary vegetation.
Licheng is located along the sea, rich in seafood, gemstones, salt pans and other resources;
Although Yuncheng is surrounded by mountains, its medicinal herbs and rare plants are unique;
Even Youcheng, which suffered from severe population loss, became a material transit station because it bordered the other four cities. Not to mention that there was a large humid ancient forest behind the imperial city that was not open to the public. Although it was dangerous, it was at the foot of a cliff. It could be said that except King You, no one knew what was there.
On the other hand, Zhuo City used to suffer from internal and external troubles. It was winter for half a year a year, and was suppressed by several other cities for a long time. To put it bluntly, the other royal nobles were afraid that the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty would come out to harm them. If you don’t believe it, just look at You City next door?
Therefore, they would rather let these parasites fend for themselves in Zhuocheng and grow their own garden, rather than let them out to cause trouble.
Although Licheng faces the sea, it has not developed sea transportation and has not had any foreign visitors for hundreds of years. Therefore, only Zhuocheng has to face foreign enemies coming and going. Shen Yu doesn't know whether there are other countries outside the snow-capped mountains. Anyway, in the endless snow-capped mountains, the only enemy of Linyue Kingdom is the Beirong people, but apart from harassing and robbing from time to time, they really have no other actions.
Beirong is actually not the name of a country, but a collective name for countless tribes outside the Great Wall. They are like quicksand in the wind, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering. It is said that the battle twelve years ago was a combined force of all the tribes of Beirong to attack Zhuocheng, but unfortunately both sides were defeated in the end... According to current evidence, it is the Yun family who is behind this, so Shen Yu wants to control the extraterritorial territory. Once he starts to investigate, he will not allow the Yun family to have a way to retreat.
It is said that after the battle that year, Beirong was already in name only, and the Yun family used side branches to fill in and impersonate it. But the people of Beirong are not stupid, so they can still distinguish between foreigners and their own people, right?
And Shen Yu was not sure whether the real Beirong people were really extinct?
