Xu Lai's day passed extremely long.
Not long after Duer arrived, he told Xu Lai a secret related to the pattern of the entire world, and then returned to the imperial capital by teleportation array without stopping.
He will take at least tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 followers, to move from the central city of the empire to a prairie city tens of thousands of miles away.
Even though there are two knights from the temple to protect them, and another crimson bishop to help, there is still no peace even though this is thousands of miles away.
As one of the people in charge, Duer has a very heavy burden, so he is unwilling to stay for a long time.
After Xu Lai received the latest news, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He and His Majesty the Pope have only met once, so naturally they don’t have a deep relationship.
But as Duer said, the Pope is in critical condition, and after Kerrigan recovers, he will not miss such a good opportunity.
However, in this case, the Pope only ordered the transfer of the weak ones, without any intention of transferring them.
And if they don’t leave, the destruction that awaits those in the temple is almost inevitable.
Xu Lai actually didn't know if he would accept the idea of transferring to Qingfeng City if the Pope and the senior officials and elites of the temple had the idea.
Once accepted, the great devil Kerrigan will definitely mobilize all his troops to destroy them.
After all, the two enemies he only worried about in this world have become one.
This scrupulous enemy does not include Xu Lai, and he does not have the confidence.
The only thing in Qingfeng City that Kerrigan is concerned about is the statue of the God of War.
After Duer left, people kept wanting to visit Xu Lai.
There are dignitaries who have newly moved into Qingfeng City, including bosses of large caravans, officials, etc.
They hit a wall in Qingfeng City. Xu Lai himself didn't care about his status as a little baron, and Su Ya, who regarded Xu Lai as a god, certainly didn't care either.
These people, unable to obtain the privileges they want in Qingfeng City, have long accumulated too much dissatisfaction.
Before Xu Lai was away, they had no choice but now that they had finally waited for such a good opportunity, how could they let it go so easily.
They were sure that erecting the statue of the God of War was such a big deal, and no one else would dare to do such a thing unless the lord himself was here.
Therefore, they swarmed at the entrance of the castle, making Xu Lai unable to escape.
The news that Duer brought to Xu Lai made him very irritable. These guys blocked the door of his house again. This didn't add fuel to the fire.
"Roland, go and ask, what do they want to do?"
Xu Lai's tone was cold, but not to Roland.
Because it was already dark and he was in his own city, Xu Lai rarely rode a horse, but sat in a carriage to rest.
Xu Lai went underground for two weeks and barely rested for a moment.
It should be said that in the year since he came to this world, he has not slept well for a few days, and he has already become accustomed to all kinds of running around.
But Qingfeng City is different. This is a city he has devoted all his efforts to build, and it is a place he calls home.
At home, Xu Lai naturally wanted to relax, but now he was blocked at the door, how could he feel frustrated.
Xu Lai was not only angry, but they also hit the muzzle of the gun.
Originally, he would usually leave this kind of matter to Jilong. The son of the Viscount family is still very good at dealing with these powerful and rich people.
If Jilong handles it, the situation is unlikely to escalate. At least in front of Xu Lai, Jilong will not allow the situation to escalate.
Because Jilong knew very well that he should let Xu Lai rest now. No matter what happened, it would be at least ten times easier to solve it after letting Xu Lai fully rest and relax.
Just now Ji Long wanted to take the initiative to invite him, but he didn't expect that Xu Lai didn't ask him at all and just ordered Roland to come over.
Although Roland is a Holy Light Knight, he is not a good-tempered person.
Sure enough, Roland walked up to the group of people with a frown on his face, and before he could say a few words, a conflict broke out.
Roland's attitude was not very good. He frowned and asked them what they were doing here.
These nobles, descendants of nobles, ladies, and rich people who don’t know where they come from, also pay attention to a little superficiality.
Before everyone speaks, they have to introduce themselves for a long time, and after that, they have to salute to avoid being criticized.
If they are in front of people who admire them, they are calm and calm, and they will not lose their composure at any time.
But in front of anxious people, if you talk nonsense for a long time and can't say a serious word, they will make you anxious to death.
Immediately Roland said angrily: "I don't care who you are, you gathered here to make trouble, what do you want to do?"
"Mr. Knight, you are making trouble. The people in front of me are all gentlemen with status in the empire. Madam, why do you think we are making trouble?"
Roland frowned and didn't bother to argue with them, and said directly: "I don't care about you. What do you want to do? If you block my lord's way now, you are causing trouble.
Now I ask you to leave immediately, otherwise I will have to find a way to help you leave. "
"Your Excellency Knight, do you want to resort to force? This is how you treat guests. I heard that your lord is also a noble, and seems to be a baron entrusted to Count Ani.
Do you know how many nobles are standing in front of you? "
A woman dressed as a noble lady, not afraid of the threat in Roland's words at all, stood in front of Roland with her head raised and chest raised.
Pa...
Roland raised his hand and slapped him with a big ear-scratcher.
It would be impossible for anyone else, even Xu Laizai, to be so decisive, because the person standing in front of him was, after all, a woman.
Even if Xu Lai had someone kill this woman directly, he didn’t want to have anything to do with her in public.
Roland is a pure paladin, and a die-hard paladin.
He didn't have the slightest scruple. When a woman with no fighting ability stood in front of him, he slapped her to get out of the way.
If it were a man in front of him, he might have drawn his sword directly.
“I’ll tell you again, get out of here immediately, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”
Roland was already so angry that Xu Lai asked him to come over and ask about the situation, but it took so long For a long time, I didn’t even smell the fart.
These bird people are really troublesome and troublesome. How could Roland give them a good attitude?
The main reason is that Xu Lai's attitude is not good. These generals who have always been die-hardly loyal to Xu Lai naturally take Xu Lai's attitude as their standard.
If Roland didn't take action, it would still be just a quarrel.
This slap was so severe that all the men present drew their weapons.
At this time, the identity of the woman who dared to rush out was naturally not simple.
This woman is a countess who came to Qingfeng City from the imperial capital with her countess husband. This couple originally wanted to find a way out, but after arriving in Qingfeng City, they couldn't even see the lord's shadow for several days.
If you can't see it, then you can't see it. The count and his wife will pretend that Xu Lai is not here for the time being.
But even if they couldn't see the lord, they couldn't enjoy any of the noble privileges they were supposed to enjoy in Qingfeng City.
Not only were they unable to live there, in their eyes, except for the larger space, the rest of the castle was very shabby, and they were not even able to live in a decent manor.
Find Su Ya, but the other party said that apart from helping them adjust the guest rooms in the tavern, there was nothing else they could do.
In an instant, the count and his wife felt that they had been greatly insulted.
Are you kidding me? What are their identities? How can they stay in a tavern?
And it was a guest room. The most important thing was that Su Ya only expressed that she wanted to adjust it, and had no idea of inviting them to stay.
This can’t be blamed on Su Ya, since the last time she helped a group of heroes to jump out, she paid a fee that should not have been borne.
Su Ya no longer dares to make her own decisions about this kind of thing.
Seeing that Su Ya was unable to get in, these people also revealed their status as nobles.
Of course, it still failed to achieve half the effect.
After all, these people don’t dare to cause too much trouble in other people’s territory.
Besides, Su Ya is not the one who really calls the shots. Even if they start a fight, they will not be able to achieve the results they really want.
So they took a step back. Su Ya didn't provide them with a place to live, so they should buy their own head office.
They are here to prepare a way out for themselves, the most important of which is to purchase land, houses, materials and other assets.
After all, no matter how well-connected the nobles are, they can host you for ten days and a half, or even for a year and a half, but they can never live in someone else's house for the rest of their lives.
But what surprised them the most was that there was a large amount of vacant land in Qingfeng City.
Those lands that are just surrounded by walls, let alone developed, and have not even had weeds removed, should be worthless.
What these powerful people are best at is doing this kind of thing.
In promising cities, when the land is least valuable, purchase and develop it in large quantities, and then sell them or use them for your own enjoyment.
You know, the city wall Xu Lai originally planned was a very huge piece of land.
There are so many hard-working farmers, many of whom have even advanced to the level of professional architects, but they still only have two walls around them, and the third one is still under construction.
In such a huge city, almost three-quarters of the land is vacant and has no development.
However, at this time, there are wars all over the world. The undead in the Eastern Empire are fighting more and more, but the Southern Empire has recently stopped and even counterattacked into the underground city.
But after all, the Southern Empire's wealth is well-known among the nine major camps, and it is extremely easy to continue to be targeted.
On the contrary, this small town of Qingfeng appeared suddenly, and it also withstood the attack of the orcs in the stronghold, so it had great investment potential.
Just when this group of people thought they had found a big deal, the staff of the city hall told them that if they want to buy land in Qingfeng City, they must first obtain a Qingfeng City household registration.
Hukou? What is that?
Although the powerful people could not understand the rules of Qingfeng City for a while, this did not hinder them from being smart.
Major cities also have various rules, and they are well prepared for this.
It doesn't matter if they don't have a household registration, local people must have it. They just need to hire local people to buy it and then transfer it to them.
However, in addition to requiring a household registration for the land in Qingfeng City, there is actually an upper limit on the land that each person can purchase.
Moreover, the land in Qingfeng City is divided into residential land and agricultural land.
Only land planned for residential areas is allowed to be bought and sold, and there is a maximum purchase limit for each household.
For families with a relatively large family size, they can only split their homes and form multiple household registrations when they arrive in Qingfeng City.
However, residential land is at least allowed to be bought and sold, while agricultural land is not bought and sold at all, only leased.
Cities generally do not plan too much agricultural land, but Qingfeng City is different. There is a Swan Lake in Qingfeng City.
In the entire grassland, every ounce of water resources needs to be used properly and cannot be wasted.
Besides, Xu Lai also built several new villages and towns outside the city, and the population that could not be accommodated could be moved there.
In short, Xu Lai in Qingfeng City will not crowd a large number of people, and he does not like crowded environments, so there is still more agricultural land.
The rule of Qingfeng City is that agricultural land can be distributed and leased. No matter how it is acquired, it will belong to the householder after it is acquired.
After the head of the household dies, the bloodline can be passed on to other direct relatives of the household. Bloodlines that are not direct relatives cannot be passed on and will be recycled by the city hall.
The so-called non-bloodline means that even brothers and sisters are not eligible to inherit. Only children have rights.
Furthermore, agricultural land is in a lease relationship and all belongs to the city lord Xu Lai, so others are not qualified to buy or sell.
Of course, you cannot buy or sell. You can hire other people to work on your land, and distribute the harvest of the land to the hired people as a reward.
Such employment contracts are recognized and protected by the city hall.
It’s just that since the land has returned to Xu Lai, it’s not so easy for others to merge.
Xu Lai has not yet had time to formulate specific policies on land and commerce. He just provided an idea and asked the people in the city hall to study it and formulate a set of nondescript and temporary policies.
Only when the situation stabilizes and Xu Lai has a solid territory will he truly study these policies.
These powerful people tried their best, but they could only obtain a small piece of land and some houses that they really didn't like.
If they go outside the city, the good places along the river have already been occupied by Xu Lai. Unless they go to the depths of the grassland to live a herding life, they will not be able to obtain the assets they want.
At this time, Xu Lai finally came back and made such a huge noise at night.
The dignitaries who had always had a rich nightlife, after drinking some wine and getting their heads hot, actually blocked Xu Lai with their guards.
Roland's slap was equivalent to a direct slap on each of their faces.
For nobles who have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, the most important thing is nothing more than face.
After suffering such a big blow, the countess no longer cared about her image, and her sharp screams directly pierced the night sky of Qingfeng City.
Xu Lai suppressed his irritation and massaged his temples.
The dignitaries and the guards they brought, nearly a hundred knights in heavy armor, and the Crusaders also drew their swords.
Roland glared at these people. Not only did these bastards block Xu Lai's carriage, but now they dared to draw their swords.
At that moment, he and the dozen Holy Light Knights who came with him also shouted in unison, drew out their swords, and rushed in.
Although it was a dozen people versus hundreds of people, how could Roland be afraid.
Not to mention that they are all eighth-level Holy Light Knights. There are hundreds of Paladin Guards behind Xu Lai, and at the city wall in front is a large group of Crusaders guarding the castle.
The moment the dignitaries who were outflanked from the front and back drew their weapons, they were destined to die. (End of this chapter)
