The biography of Hu Liena of Douluo

Three years ago, after the massacre in Zhenxing City, in order to prepare for possible beast tides in the future, Wuhundian organized the construction of this stronghold city next to the Star Dou Forest. In just three months, the prototype of Dicheng was born.

Initially, Wuhundian sent Erzongfeng and Sanzongfeng, leading 10,000 palace guards to garrison the city. Because it was very close to the Star Forest and was guarded by the Wuhun Palace garrison, many merchants began to come to Dicheng to conduct transactions.

At first, the main items traded were some goods produced in the Star Forest. Later, as Dicheng gradually prospered, the goods traded naturally became more abundant. For convenience and cost savings, many businessmen chose to stay in Dicheng.

Many people who experienced the beast tide and whose families were destroyed also chose to settle here. At first they had no other motive, because there was a Wuhundian garrison in Dicheng. The Wuhun Palace's life-saving rescue in Zhenxing City and other places made them trust Wuhun Palace more than their own relatives.

Dicheng is close to Xingdou and backed by two empires. The geographical location and transportation are convenient. In addition, there are also troops stationed in Wuhun Palace, so safety seems to be safe. In just one year, Dicheng developed from scratch to a scale close to that of Zhenxing City, with a permanent population of nearly one million and a floating population that exceeded Zhenxing City, which is a miracle.

A new city with a new order will naturally attract many trend-setters from all religions and schools. Naturally, when there are too many people, management is needed, so the Wuhun Palace set up a branch hall here to temporarily take over the functions of the City Lord Palace. Later, Wuhun Chamber of Commerce branches and Wuhun Academy branches were also established here.

Naturally, the two empires would not allow the Spirit Hall to develop into a substantial "Martial Spirit Empire". So he proposed to take over the increasingly prosperous Dicheng. The Wuhun Palace had no intention of seeking hegemony, and was facing a manpower shortage problem, so it agreed.

Wuhun Palace withdrew its two ministers and all the palace guards, and each of the two empires sent a titled Douluo and five thousand elite troops to take over the defense of Dicheng; at the same time, the two empires promised to protect Wuhun Palace's subordinate institutions in Dicheng. legitimate rights and interests, and no other official agencies with overlapping functions will be established.

So Dicheng has now become a brand new city where the two empires are responsible for defense and jointly manage taxation and other financial issues; Wuhundian is responsible for the specific management of other functional institutions in the city. This management model is the first time it has appeared on the mainland.

After consultation, the two empires decided that Dicheng will be permanently exempt from city fees; cross-border transactions conducted in Dicheng will be permanently exempt from customs duties; at the same time, starting from the date of the agreement, other taxes in Dicheng within three years will also be based on type and amount. Reduce the corresponding proportion.

When this news came out, Dicheng once again ushered in a period of rapid development. Until now, when Hu Liena and the others came to Dicheng this time, it had developed into a super-large city with a permanent population of several million and a total population of more than 10 million, with a radius of more than 100 miles.

There are several airship fields built on the outskirts of Dicheng that can lead to dozens of other major cities in the mainland; the main traffic roads in the city extend in all directions, and most of them can allow eight carriages to pass parallel; the business district in the inner city is even more bustling, with lights and music day and night. . It's a completely peaceful metropolitan scene.

When Hu Liena woke up in the morning and ate in the restaurant on the basement floor of the hotel where she was staying, she learned from the guests who were talking at the table next to her that in half a month, the two empires would jointly hold an unprecedented large-scale event in Dicheng. Commodity Expo.

At that time, the invited forces from all over the continent will display the precious commodities they have brought here; other uninvited forces and individuals can also choose to participate in the exhibition, but the exhibits must be strictly reviewed.

After the one-month exhibition, the one thousand items that have attracted the most attention will be auctioned publicly at Wuhun Auction House in the manner requested by the owner of the items. According to rumors, in order to prevent a cold start, the co-organizers will present a complete soul bone from a hundred thousand year old soul beast as the finale product.

No wonder it's hard to find a room in the city's hotels and inns. Even though this is a property owned by Wuhun Palace, they had said hello in advance and only booked three large rooms this time.

But that girl Zhu Rong is really dishonest when sleeping. After falling asleep last night, Zhu Rong played Dream Boxing on the bed, which hit Hu Liena's chest, and it still hurts faintly.

Of course, Hu Liena, who was woken up by the beating, did not coddle Zhu Rong. She threw her out of bed and let her sleep on the carpet all night.

When Zhu Rong woke up in the morning, he found that he had indeed slept on the ground. He looked up and saw Hu Liena, who was arranging her hair in front of the mirror, blushing with shame.

After finishing cleaning, Hu Liena asked Zhu Rong if she wanted to go have breakfast. Zhu Rong said that she should bring some back for her because she would like to sleep for a while longer. So Hu Liena appeared in the restaurant on the basement floor of the hotel.

A quarter of an hour before the hour, Sun Chuan knocked on the door one after another and called out several children. It was coming soon, and it was time for them to set off for the Star Dou Forest.

At this time, the group set off from the hotel to Xingdou on time. Teacher Li did not follow them, but chose to stay behind them from a distance.

"Teacher, how long will it take for us to get back this time?" Not long after leaving the city, Hu Liena looked at Sun Chuan expectantly.

"I've taken a total of 5 days off for you. What's the matter? I want to visit the Dicheng Expo in half a month." Jiang was still very old-fashioned, and Sun Chuan immediately guessed Hu Liena's little idea.

"It's only 5 days, so it's okay." Hu Liena only felt a little regretful.

"Nana, what is the Dicheng Expo?" Zhu Rong caught a key word from the conversation between the two and whispered to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena pointed at Sun Chuan to Zhu Rong and said, "That's what Teacher Sun said just now. I'm actually not sure about it, so I'd better listen to Teacher Sun's explanation."

The three boys who had been staring at Hu Liena just now also turned their gazes to Sun Chuan along with Zhu Rong.

"Dicheng Expo, this is the first continent-wide expo jointly organized by the two empires and Wuhun Palace. There will be many rare and rare treasures that are difficult to see at ordinary times. The expo will be held in two weeks. It’s officially opened, but we only have five days this time, so we can’t visit it in person.”

When Zhu Rong and the other four heard Sun Chuan's words, their excitement that had just arisen was ruthlessly extinguished.

"But you don't need to be too sorry," Sun Chuan continued after seeing several people dejected.

"I have made it clear that the part of this conference, which is the final public auction of thousands of treasures, will be broadcast live in major cities across the continent. We can also see it in Wuhun City by then."

"Teacher, what is Qianbaohui?" Hu Yanshan, like a curious baby, asked the question that the other three wanted to know but did not ask.

"The so-called Thousand Treasures refer to the thousand treasures that received the most attention and popularity during the month-long expo; the Thousand Treasures Fair is the auction of them at the final stage of the expo."

Sun Chuan took the trouble to explain, "The Thousand Treasures Fair will last for three days. On the first day, the treasures ranked from one thousand to three hundred will be auctioned; on the second day, the top three hundred to fifty treasures will be auctioned; and the top fifty treasures will be auctioned. It will be held on the last day. After it is over, it will be the closing ceremony of this first expo.”
