Chapter 100: Shuxiong City Crouching Tiger Roaring to the Sky

The busy Shangdang is about to usher in another New Year. It is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. It is the little New Year. Zhao Xing, who is even more cruel than the landlords and wealthy, finally "discovered his conscience" and gave everyone a big vacation, so that the people of Shangdang can finally stop and take a breath and prepare to have a happy New Year. The reason why the people of Shangdang are busy in the slack season is because the "national health movement" that has stopped people from being angry! In the future, when the people of Shangdang hear the word "movement", they will tremble with reflex.

On the official road leading to Wohu City, there was a group of pedestrians riding on horseback and carriage heading towards Wohu City. The leader on the horse turned out to be Liu Jili, who had not shown up for a long time. At this moment, he was talking to the people in the carriage behind him.

"Husband, can you arrive at Wohu Village today?" A female family member's voice came from the car.

"It will be in the evening. I have been busy for half a year and finally I can go home for a happy New Year!" Liu Jili said with emotion.

"Is the owner of the Wohu Village really as heroic as his husband said?" asked the female family.

"This is not what I said. Even the Emperor of Han praised him. I have not met a man in this world who is more wise, more capable, and more handsome than him!" Liu Jili said sincerely while thinking about what happened since he met Zhao Xing.

Everyone knows who the two men are talking, but the female relatives sitting in the car are a concubine whom Zhao Xing was taking care of the day when he was concealed by Liu Jili. Although the two got married in a hurry, Liu Jili's family had already followed Guo Jia to Shangdang. In Luoyang City, the couple carefully dealt with various forces. After a long time, their relationship became better and better, and they could be considered a couple in distress.

"Shopkeeper Liu, the Wohu City has arrived!" The member of the "Shadow" who accompanied Liu Jili to protect Liu Jili said politely to Liu Jili.

Just turned a mountain ridge and looked at a majestic city rising from the ground. Liu Jili, who was shocked in his heart, heard that Wohu Village had arrived, couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion: "Jiawu, we are obviously a big city in front of us, but where did we see the village?"

After hearing Liu Jili's doubts, the Shadow Member, who was called Jiawu, said proudly: "The big shopkeeper may not know that the former Wohu Village was renamed by the general and is now Wohu City! What we see is the welcome door among the three main gates of Wohu City."

"General Zhao is such a big deal!" Liu Jili sighed loudly.

"The general said that what we see now is the inner city of Wohu City. In the future, Wohu City will be built several times larger than that of the eastern capital Luoyang!"

At the welcoming guest, Zhao Xing and several others were waiting for Liu Jili.

Zhao Xing attached great importance to this friend who first extended a helping hand to him and then wandered in the eastern capital Luoyang without regrets. Otherwise, he would not have sent the fifth-ranked member of the Shadow Force "A Group" with half of the members of the "B Group" to Luoyang to welcome him back to Shangdang for the New Year.

Liu Jili did not disappoint Zhao Xing's attention. In the past six months in Luoyang, he started planning to open a restaurant to take care of five Zuixian Buildings, purchased food everywhere, and helped Zhao Xing leave Luoyang. He did his best, demonstrating his loyalty and exquisite social skills.

"Xiaoyu, half a year ago, I said that I would build a city bigger than Luoyang City in the future. Now you believe it!" Zhao Xing, who was fine, looked at the Wohu City built because of his own ideas, and proudly teased Zhao Yu who was greeted with him.

"At that time, I thought you were just to make girls Wanlin happy, but I didn't expect you had planned it in your heart!" Zhao Yu rolled her eyes and said with some dissatisfaction. It was also strange. Since she woke up from the last time she fainted and woke up, Zhao Yu's temperament was no longer as hot and impatient as before. Sometimes she would even talk to Guo Jia and Zhao Xing softly.

"I knew at that time what my brother-in-law said was true! My brother-in-law never broke his promise!" Xu Wanlin said proudly, not minding to flatter Zhao Xing in public.

"Lord, this time, the shopkeeper Liu Da returned to Shangdang's side and brought the last batch of purchased grain. So far, the money we earned from selling wine has been transported back to three million stones of grain! This grain has been enough for all the people in Shangdang to eat for a year." Li Tiezhu, the gold medal follower, helped Zhao Xing calculate the accounts.

"Today, I want to say that the richest person is not the emperor, but Brother Guochang!" Guo Jia, who happened to be fine today, sighed by Zhao Yu.

"Money is nothing but something outside of your body. You will not bring it in life or death. No matter how much money you earn, it is better to do some practical things for the people of the world and make people feel relieved!" Zhao Xing said indifferently.

"Guochang is broad-minded and can accept the greatness of the world. Jili admires it!" Liu Jili heard the conversation between Guo Jia and Zhao Xing from afar, and quickly rode his horse and took a few steps, came to Zhao Xing, and turned over and jumped off the horse.

"Brother Jili and his sister-in-law return to Shangdang this time, and the Crouching Tiger City can be reunited!" Zhao Xing stepped forward and brought a bear hug with Liu Jili, and then said happily.

"When it comes to Wohu City, Jili still can't believe what he saw. If it weren't for Jiawu's explanation, I would have thought I had taken the wrong path and arrived in Chang'an, the western capital!" Liu Jili exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"The wall of the Chouhu City is nine zhang high and the top is five zhang wide. It can be used to carry three carriages in parallel. The moat under the city is twelve zhang wide and five zhang deep. There are three gate towers, named Zhengyang Gate, Desheng Gate, and Yingbin Gate..." Zhao Xing accompanied Liu Jili to the newly opened Zuixian Tower in the Chouhu City, and while walking, he introduced the Chouhu City, which had already begun to take shape.

A book friend once asked Nandao why Zhao Xing did not directly occupy the county town, but instead spent huge sums of money and a lot of manpower to build a new city? This question should be explained from the perspective of military geography.

The location of Wohu City is located on the west side of the Taihang Mountains in the middle section, and is a triangle with Huguan, which guards the middle section of Taihang and Changzi County, where the Shangdang County Magistrate's Mansion is located, which can support each other. Since Wohu City is backed by Taihang Mountain, there are dangers to guard. There are a large number of caves and tunnels dug in the mountains to connect with the city, which facilitates people's hiding and transfer. Many cave warehouses in the mountains store weapons, armor and food prepared by Zhao Xing for troubled times. If you have to calculate the numbers, from the time Zhao Xing killed Zhang Yang and emptyed the Zhang family's treasury, Zhao Xing began to accumulate his belongings openly and secretly.

Regarding the question of how much money Zhao Xing can make by relying solely on selling soy liquor, you might as well think about the income of the well-known wineries in our country every year, and then think about how many wineries there are in China, large and small. Chinese people have to drink so much wine in a year. Even if the population of China during the Eastern Han Dynasty was 40 million, they would have to drink a considerable amount of wine.

Zhao Xing's Changhe Daqu is a monopoly business. Although the world is big, there is only one. Even Xu Mantang, the shopkeeper of Xu Family Brewery, does not know the huge profits. The only person who knows how much money he can lose in a year is Zhao Xing himself.

After drinking the welcome wine, Liu Jili returned to the house specially set aside for him with the support of his family. The accompanying people also left the Zuixian Tower one after another and went home to rest. The Zuixian Tower, which was built with a new construction method, is now the tallest building in Wohu City. It has seven floors, all of which are made of huge stones, steel as beams, and wood. Standing on the seventh floor, looking around the lights in the city, Zhao Xing, who was a little awake by the cool breeze at night, was wafting his heart at this moment and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Just as the drinking was about to end, Zhao Xing saw Li Jinsi coming upstairs and winked him, so he stayed and waited for Li Jinsi to report to him the latest updates of the surrounding counties, even the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qianghu outside the Great Wall.

"Brother Xing, the spies sent by the Shadow and the Security Bureau have come back one after another with news from the four sides. Comprehensive analysis, the world is probably going to be in chaos!" Li Jinsi frowned and said heavy.

"Oh, there are not many times when Jinsi frowned. I wonder what kind of bad news is?" Zhao Xing looked calm and stared at the foot of Taihang Mountain hidden in the night in the distance.

"There was a white disaster outside the pass, and countless people were frozen to death. Qiang, Hu and Xianbei stared at the pass. The prefects of Xihe, Taiyuan, Leping Yanmen and other counties in the north of our country, since Yuan Yi was killed, they were all like frightened birds, afraid of becoming the next target of Shangdang. Now they are hugging each other, following Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. Recently, they heard that Ding Yuan had received a flying general, with the courage to lose to ten thousand men, named Lu Bu, and also had eight powerful generals under him. They were all extremely fierce and good at cavalry fighting. If they work together to deal with Shangdang, they will be unable to defend themselves!" Li Jinsi clearly analyzed the surrounding situation to Zhao Xing.

"The ground in Jizhou on the east side of Huguan has suffered a major disaster this year, and the people are unstable. Recently, the Taiping Taoist disciples have preached more frequently, and there are signs of gathering people to cause trouble. Yuan Shu, the prefect of Guangping, is greedy and treats the people like grass, exploits and exploits them at will. He has been driven to Huguan, all of whom were driven to the west by him, intending to move the disaster westward; the Sima family in Hanoi seems to be in good terms with us, but they are always guarding in secret. Now the Sima family has more than 10,000 soldiers in the newly formed Henoi County, and there is no sign of stopping recruitment, and it is obviously targeted at Shangdang; Pingyang and Hedong counties are led by Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, and they are all prepared for the war, and they are more than the Qiang, Hu and Xianbei..." Li Jinsi clearly explained the surrounding situation in detail, waiting for Zhao Xing to make a response.

"It's the New Year. A group of neighbors must be envious and jealous when they see Shangdang making a fortune this year, but their own ice pot and cold stove. The robbers outside the pass even regarded me, Zhao Xing, as a fat meat on the chopping board, and wanted to bite a piece of meat from me! Come on, let me, Zhao Xing, show you how powerful the army armed with Taizu's thoughts is!" Zhao Xing suddenly held the guardrail and roared at the entire Crouching Tiger City, like a tiger about to go down the mountain to find food!
