Dragon's Origin

Chapter 618: The Demolition of This World (Part 1)

Wang Sheng had no idea what was happening with A' Qi. Actually, Wang Sheng didn't know anything that was happening outside the capital. During these two months of dedicated carving, Wang Sheng was truly focused and paid no attention to what was happening outside. Now, if Wang Sheng wanted to know what was going on, he had to rely on Mei'er and Qiangwei to explain it to him.

The various vassal states were in a chaotic war, which was no longer news. There was one small vassal state, whose name Wang Sheng barely remembered. It used to be a vassal state enfeoffed to a small sect, located next to the Qiu Kingdom and bordering the Dai Kingdom. He didn't know how it offended the Tang, Qiu, and Dai Kingdoms, but it was jointly destroyed by the three parties.

The destruction of a small vassal state was not a big deal, but the fact that the Dai Kingdom joined hands with the Tang and Qiu Kingdoms revealed something worth pondering.

The Dai Kingdom was previously the mastermind behind the Shanyue Kingdom. In just a few months, the old Taoist and Wang Sheng killed the king and the grand elder, and after a new king was installed, it was immediately accepted by the Tang and Qiu Kingdoms, two of the eight major vassal states? The Qiu Kingdom was severely damaged by the Shanyue Kingdom, but they were able to let bygones be bygones?

"It is said that the Dai Kingdom paid a great price," Qiangwei added from the side, "Many people died. After destroying that small vassal state, the Dai Kingdom only took some spoils of war, and the land and population were given to the Tang and Qiu Kingdoms."

That made sense. Only interests, naked interests, could allow two countries that were recently enemies to stand in the same trench again.

Now, the Dai Kingdom should be trying hard to curry favor. Otherwise, after the Tang, Qiu, and Xia Kingdoms destroyed the Shanyue Kingdom, if they immediately turned against it, the Dai Kingdom would suffer greatly. They painstakingly destroyed a vassal state and gave a lot of benefits to the Tang and Qiu Kingdoms just to appease them. As long as it was justifiable on the surface, the private revenge of the disciples could be ignored.

"It seems that the situation in the Xia Kingdom is not good!" Wang Sheng said with a smile.

The Xia Kingdom was the one that suffered the most from the Shanyue Kingdom, but the Dai Kingdom did not compensate for it. There were only a few possibilities. Either the Xia Kingdom's national strength was greatly damaged and it was unlikely to pose a threat to the Dai Kingdom, or the Shanyue Kingdom killed too many people from the Xia Kingdom, and the hatred was too deep to reconcile, or a combination of both.

"Relatively speaking, the Xia Kingdom is indeed the worst," Mei'er said with a smile, "The four cities still occupied by the Shanyue Kingdom have not been recovered, let alone seizing territory in the Shanyue lands."

Wang Sheng killed Zhu Xingsheng with a thunderous strike, but the top experts of the Shanyue Kingdom he brought were still concentrated in Ningyue City and the surrounding four cities. These were real elite experts. It was already good enough for the Xia Kingdom to maintain the current situation without winning or losing. As for entering the Shanyue lands to divide the territory, I am afraid the Xia Kingdom did not have many opportunities. Even if they wanted to, other families would not allow them to have such an opportunity.

"What about the Gan and Shi Kingdoms?" Wang Sheng asked again. These two had obtained the peerless treasures, could they not become the target of other families?

"It's also very chaotic," Mei'er said in one sentence, describing the current situation of the two countries. "They are harassed day and night, and they are also very annoyed."

As for the Song and Feng Kingdoms, Wang Sheng didn't ask. The Song Kingdom was powerful. As long as Song Yan didn't make any mistakes, there wouldn't be any major problems. The Feng Kingdom had too low a profile, and at this time, they must be plunging headlong into the Shanyue lands to seize benefits.

The countries were really able to hold their breath. He had been staying in the capital for several months without moving, but they were not in a hurry to urge him to enter the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land. It seemed that they planned to divide the size of the cake before dividing the secrets of the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land. That was also good, so he wouldn't be harassed.

"It's good for them to make trouble themselves," Wang Sheng smiled at Mei'er, "The more trouble they make, the better your business will be. How many people have been relocated now, and how many teams have been formed?"

As soon as she mentioned her real estate business, Mei'er immediately became energetic. She was a natural business genius, and Wang Sheng's guidance seemed to have opened her up. When she talked about business, she was beaming and hardly stopped.

"Several thousand households have been moved out," Mei'er happily reported to Wang Sheng, "A large piece of land has been vacated and is being renovated. According to your instructions, I first built new houses for them outside the city, and exchanged them one-to-one plus compensation in gold coins."

"No one objected?" When Wang Sheng was on Earth, he had heard of all kinds of strange things during demolition, but in this world, especially in the capital, it was so peaceful?

"Object? Who objected?" Mei'er sneered, "I hired hundreds of assassins from Worry-Free City to persuade them to relocate, using gold coins and new houses to persuade them. Everyone was very reasonable. Besides, the gold coins I gave were the current market price, they didn't lose anything, and they got new houses for nothing. In addition, there were opportunities to work, who would object?"

Wang Sheng rolled his eyes directly. Letting a group of assassins from Worry-Free City be responsible for the demolition work was really something she could think of. The ordinary people of the capital would be strange if they dared to object. Those guys were really killers who had killed people! Who would be okay and reason with killers?

"Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?" Wang Sheng knew that Mei'er must have considered everything carefully, but he couldn't help but remind her.

"How could I ruin my reputation?" Mei'er said with a serious face, "I used the most genuine materials to build new houses outside the city, and according to your instructions, I considered all kinds of shops, and even the toilets and roads were built in a way that made people speechless. As long as they move there, they don't have to worry about anything, and they have more gold coins in their hands. Now, whoever mentions my Lizhen Workshop doesn't give a thumbs up?"

Lizhen Workshop was the name of Mei'er's newly opened real estate and bank, taking the last two words of Yuan Heng Li Zhen that Wang Sheng had said before, which meant great luck.

"There are always people who don't want to leave the city, right?" Wang Sheng was speechless for a while, so he could only mention it again.

"This is thanks to your idea, sir. Once the city wall is demolished, where is the difference between inside and outside the city?" Qiangwei laughed from the side, "In addition, it is also thanks to the great figures of those vassal states. They are tyrannical in the inner city, and those who dare not sell are tortured by them. Compared with our conditions, it is like heaven and earth. The bad reputation is theirs, and the good reputation is ours. Anyway, when we buy their houses, we all say that we are building courtyards for those people."

Silently discrediting opponents and raising oneself was indeed Mei'er's style. Wang Sheng gave a thumbs up in his heart.

"Borrowing the construction of houses outside the city, we have also trained a team of nearly six thousand people," Mei'er continued to answer with a smile, "In less than two months, the first batch of new houses in the city will be sold."
