Late at night, Zhang Botao, who gave the ring that day, appeared quietly in the side hall of the city lord's mansion.

His feelings were almost exactly the same as those of the day Yingyi. It would be fine if he was surrounded by beautiful little fairies serving tea and water. Xue Mu was also full of the fragrance of a woman. I don’t know which fairy I just rolled the bed sheet with.

If he had let him know that the demon in his heart was Xue Qingqiu, he would not know what he would feel.

But his thoughts were different from Yingyi. He was not rejected at all by this kind of life. On the contrary, he was very accustomed to it. Their Zhang family bets on both the Xinyi Sect and the Zongheng Road. The unscrupulous merchants in the Zongheng Road would not mention it. Just talking about Xinyi Sect, looking at the pomp of Pan Kouzhi's Six Swordsman, you will know that from Xinyi Sect and Mu Jianli's swordsman are different, and they have a bit of flashy aura.

And Zhang Botao himself is not the kind of person who is very particular about martial arts. As a local clan in Lingzhou, there are many talents in various directions. Zhang Botao's research direction is formation, and he also has another identity: he is a scholar.

The world concepts of scholars and Xue Mu in this era are different. The imperial examination system was not the imperial examination system, but a system similar to the imperial examination system, and was evaluated and recommended by local officials. The basis for recommendation is also ignoring poetry and literature. In addition to morality, it is mainly based on people's livelihood talents, advocating agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy and relief, etc. As a family of history, it is obviously more focused on this aspect, which is directly consistent with the attributes of the imperial court.

In other words, in addition to the layout in the world, these families naturally correspond to the job of Xue Mu City Lord. Zhang Botao is the kind who can be elected as an official in Xue Mu. So Xue Qingqiu once said that if Xue Mu was a qualified city lord, he should meet these aristocratic families on the first day he arrived in Lingzhou.

Unfortunately, our irresponsible City Lord Xue has been to Lingzhou for so long, and this is the first time we have met a family member. The city lord’s responsibility has not been asked about a single word, and even throws the seal to the officials to play with.

Zhang Botao took off his cloak and thanked the girl who was in tea with a very graceful manner. He smiled at Xue Mu and said, "The city lord stayed quietly and did not see any foreign guests, but he turned out to be living such a fairy life. If it were Zhang, he would be too lazy to go out to meet people."

Xue Mu sipped tea and laughed: "Who is the first to come to Xue, who is better than the Zhang family's 800-year-old wealth."

This sounds like flattery, but Zhang Botao has a little bit of a thorny sound. He answered cautiously: "The Zhang family still needs to be carried by Lord Xue."

He was also very frustrated. The city lord in the past was not talking about currying favor with the aristocratic families, but he was very dependent on it. But the person in front of him was really different. The city lord's responsibilities were just a nonsense, and the city lord's power didn't care about it, and he treated himself as a gangster. If you look at him from the perspective of the rivers and lakes, it would be even more terrible. He was the chief manager of the Xingyue Sect. No matter which backstage you move out, he would not timid you... In the past, all kinds of ways of treating past city lords had to be thrown into the stinky ditch, and he could not be attached to this strange city lord, so he had to read how he even talked to Xue Mu in his mind.

He was pretty good, because he accidentally got into a relationship with Xue Mu because of a trade fair. The other families were almost broken, and he had never seen this city lord yet.

"I dare not take it." Xue Mu replied kindly: "Xue is still unfamiliar with Lingzhou, and he needs the help of local snakes like Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Botao hurriedly said, "If you have any City Lord Xue, please give me some instructions."

"Just just talk about business with Mr. Zhang." Xue Mu smiled and said, "The fate of Xue and Mr. Zhang's first meeting is still fresh in memory. Thanks to Mr. Zhang for his ring, Xue likes it very much."

"It's good if the city lord likes it." Zhang Botao felt a little relieved and smiled: "Actually, everyone seemed to be not interested in the storage ring when the test that day. Zhang was a little disappointed. Since the city lord liked it, it was considered to have found someone with a destiny."

Xue Muqi said: "Young Master Zhang's ring industry is not planned to be done?"

Zhang Botao shook his head and said, "I will not hide it from the city lord. My Zhang family has been operating various special accessories for generations, such as the Qingxin Pendant and the Yuying Chai. If you promote this ring, it will only expand a small product and is not a particularly important thing. Since everyone is not interested, this business is mostly unstoppable, and it is meaningless. If you don't do it, you won't do it."

Xue Mu thought for a while: "Because people in the world are not used to wearing ornaments on their hands, which will affect the battle?"

"Yes, even though we know that this ring does not affect the battle, people have not formed the habit of wearing things on their hands, so they naturally cannot replace the Qiankun bag, and it may not be beneficial to work hard to promote."

Xue Mu gently tapped the armrest of the chair and pondered.

Zhang Botao tentatively said: "Did the city lord have any intention?"

I thought to myself that if you are really interested, we will do the loss business as well.

Xue Mu woke up and smiled and said, "I have a story. I wonder if Mr. Zhang wants to hear it?"

Zhang Botao smiled and said, "The city lord's little story is spread throughout the world. How could Botao not want to hear it?"

"This is not that kind of story." Xue Mu smiled mockingly and said, "By the way, two shoe merchants went to a new land and there were humans living together, the two shoe merchants inspected their business. As a result, they found that locals did not wear shoes. The first shoe merchant thought that since this was the case, shoes had no sales here, so they went back. The second shoe merchant spent a lot of time and tried his best to make the locals discover the comfort of wearing shoes. From then on, they were popular and rich enough to rival the country."

Zhang Botao was silent for a while and smiled bitterly: "It's reasonable, but it's difficult. After all, wearing shoes is indeed more beneficial than not wearing them, but wearing rings may not necessarily have any advantages than using Qiankun bags, and the cost is much higher."

"Of course there are advantages. It is not an advantage to bring less bags that are easy to fall off? Although this advantage is not big..." Xue Mu smiled slightly: "The key is that sometimes there is no need to have any advantages in the formation of a trend."

Zhang Botao said solemnly: "Please give me some advice."

"If Mr. Zhang really intends to cooperate with Xue, then tomorrow's Yanyang Return to the Clan will get the answer." Xue Mu said lightly: "Haven Mr. Zhang has figured it out?"

Xue Mu's words were obviously interesting, and Zhang Botao's heart was shaking: "What does the city lord mean?"

Xue Mu's voice was cold: "I will make special arrangements for my partner, otherwise there is no need to cause trouble. What Mr. Zhang needs to determine is whether the Zhang family is my Xue Mu's partner or some undercurrents."

Zhang Botao's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't say anything for a while.

Xue Mu didn't urge him, but just leaned on the back of the chair and tasted tea leisurely.

After a long time, Zhang Botao suddenly laughed and sighed, "To be honest... the Zhang family never cared about the surname Lingzhou, or even the surname Dazhou. If the city lord's arrangements can indeed benefit the Zhang family, the Zhang family will care about those people's affairs?"

Xue Mu also laughed. This is very erotic, this is very heart-willing, this is very...arist family.

The first time he heard the concept of aristocratic family, Xue Mu met the aristocratic family in his own understanding. To some extent, the two worlds still have some common ground.

Why didn’t the head of the Zhang family come to meet the city lord, but just a young master? And Xue Mu was not surprised and did not feel despised at all?

Because everyone was tacit, Xue Mu was just one of these aristocratic families betting on multiple bets.
