Return to the month before the end of the world

Xiao Chan has not left yet, but she did not show up, but concentrated on thinking about cooperation plans.

She has always adhered to the attitude of win-win cooperation, and how to deal with interests is a very difficult issue.

When she learned that Yang Mingyu's emotion was not surprising at all: "Taizong saw through their nature back then. They can use them but must strictly limit them. Once they lose restraint, ordinary people will become in danger."

"Before, I begged my grandpa and grandma to get so much food. I didn't expect that so much food would be sent to me now because of something that has not yet happened." Faced with this cruel reality, Yang Mingyu felt inexplicably emotional.

"As long as the agreement is reached, things will get better and better in the future."

In the next few days, Xiao Chan stayed in a quiet courtyard without leaving the door. Even if someone came to visit, she politely declined. Except for Yang Mingyu who ran over from time to time, only Pang Ju came a few times.

The reason why Pang Ju came was because Xiao Chan found him. She had some questions she wanted to ask him.

After hearing Xiao Chan's question, Pang Ju was silent for a moment and then gave the answer.

It turns out that Pang Ju has not appeared in recent days because he is not trusted by Yang Mingyu, and all this will start when he returns to Yucheng.

Pang Ju, who had just returned to Yucheng, attracted the attention of all forces. Even Yang Mingyu personally invited him to talk about his experiences in Chaoyang City, and finally reorganized the mercenary association, expanded externally, etc.

However, a huge crisis came quietly at this time. Many forces realized that there was an opportunity to make money, so they joined forces to take out all their gains.

Of course Pang Ju was unwilling to do this and wanted to seek asylum from the City Lord's Mansion.

But at that time, Yang Mingyu had requests from major families for reorganization and external expansion, so it was not convenient for him to intervene in this matter.

Forced by desperation, Pang Ju had no choice but to choose a force with a relatively good reputation to join him, and the stepping stone was a skill he learned in Chaoyang City.

The forces that obtained the new technology immediately gained massive wealth, but Yang Mingyu, who came late, was very dissatisfied.

It turns out that Yang Mingyu has been dealing with various major forces. When he finally freed up his hands, he found that Pang Ju had defected to other forces and made a lot of money.

Because this technology is related to all aspects of society, the one with the greatest impact is the City Lord’s Mansion.

Pang Ju was also very helpless about this result. If those forces hadn't forced him too hard, he wouldn't have been willing to do this.

Moreover, these forces are obviously prepared, and their every move is planned by others.

After learning the whole story, Xiao Chan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Pang Ju had learned so many techniques but had not promoted them. This was the reason.

As the saying goes, the soil and water support the people, and different environments create different lives.

"Have you never considered an explanation?"

"It's useless, that's what happened. Originally, he and I decided to set up a chamber of commerce, but the city lord couldn't come forward. Since I'm weak, this matter can only end in embarrassment." Pang Ju smiled bitterly. "

"Now your opportunity has come. The channel between the two cities will soon be opened. Then the resistance will not be so great. Do you want to start over?"

Pang Ju hurriedly waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "I am just a rough man, I still like to fight with strange beasts, and I also have a mission this time. Is there anyone who can't wait to know what agreement you and the city lord have reached?"

"I didn't expect that I would be so popular now, but the matter has not been settled yet and there is nothing to discuss."

Xiao Chan was not surprised by this. The greed of the nobles was such that not letting them make money was even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Pang Ju hesitated for a moment but gave up the persuasion because the forces he joined were dissatisfied with his attitude and gave him a death order when he came this time.

Although Xiao Chan didn't know about this, she had a very good impression of Pang Ju. She called him over from time to time to ask about seemingly unrelated things, and by chance, she saved Pang Ju's life.

For the greedy nobles, profit is the most important thing to them.

Although they got the technology that others wanted and made them a lot of wealth, this did not satisfy them, but they wanted more.

But Pang Ju kept procrastinating, which made the people behind him very dissatisfied. Those who cannot create value are wasting food.

And as Xiao Chan continued to meet with Pang Ju, this originally worthless marginal figure once again became a favorite, and the interests of the nobles were first demonstrated vividly.

In fact, in the eyes of the imperial nobles, Xiao Chan is the person they are most willing to associate with, otherwise even the city lord Yang Mingyu and the others would not take it seriously.

However, Xiao Chan's attitude was very ambiguous, and she never had any contact with these nobles, including never attending banquets, so they had to start with Yang Mingyu.

Fortunately, the road between the two cities has not been completely opened, otherwise the nobles of Chaoyang City would tell their counterparts about their miserable situation. Being treated coldly is nothing, but being constantly suppressed is the most painful thing for them. .

Under the constant pressure of Xiao Chan and Zhan Beizun, the nobles of Chaoyang City can only survive. If no big event happens, they will be greeted by destruction.

It's a pity that the nobles in the imperial city don't know the miserable situation of their colleagues, otherwise they might directly unite to drive away Xiao Chan. This is not a money-splitting boy who brings them benefits, but their nemesis.

It was at this time that several trucks of canned food and other food that followed Xiao Chan finally arrived at Yucheng.

The appearance of cans and compressed biscuits quickly caused a sensation. In fact, Yucheng also had no shortage of these two items, but the difference was that the materials inside were completely different.

The people in Yucheng were surprised to find that the cans in Chaoyang City not only contained various vegetables and meats, but also canned fruits. This was something that the nobles never dared to think of.

For a moment, everyone realized how terrifying Chaoyang City was. As long as they could get a piece of the pie, they could earn more wealth.

The huge benefits have made these nobles forget one thing, that is, in a closed area, the wealth that cannot be circulated is basically fixed. The wealth they now have has occupied a huge share of the imperial city, and they want to transfer this wealth. To make the cake bigger, they must first take out their own profits.

It was at this time that the City Lord's Mansion finally had an attitude towards this cooperation and launched a tender.

The city government decided to cooperate with some forces in the cooperation agreement, and the prerequisite for cooperation is that the price is high enough.

Although it is worth a lot of money, no one will refuse it, because this business is definitely a profitable one, and those who do not cooperate will gradually be eliminated.
