The Luoshi City in front of Xiatian and others was not a city at all.
Half of the city wall had fallen.
Everything was tattered. Even the three words above Luoshi City were full of dust and even cobwebs had formed.
Fiasco.
This city was as miserable as it could be.
It could not be called a city at all.
"Why don't we go in and have a look?" Xiatian suggested. He also wanted to see what was going on in Luoshi City.
"Well, we have to go in and have a look." Young Master Lyu said helplessly.
When they walked into Luoshi City, needless to say, the buildings in the city could not be described as shabby. Xiatian had seen other cities before. They were very prosperous, but now looking at Luoshi City, it was much worse. It could be said that there were bungalows everywhere, and many of them were temporarily built. Although there were some buildings, most of the buildings were old and some were dilapidated.
Miserable!!
It was too miserable.
There were only a few people on the streets of the city, and these people all looked at Xiatian with a strange face.
"This is your Luoshi City?" Xiatian looked at Young Master Lyu and Asked.
"It should be." Young Master Lyu said very awkwardly.
"Your city can have a total of 50 people?" Xiatian Asked.
"It seems that it should not be." Young Master Lyu said.
"You've really been abandoned by your family. You've actually been sent to this godforsaken place." Xiatian felt very funny. Although he had seen people who were sent to such a place before, it was really interesting. Maybe the other party did not intend to let him live at all.
Otherwise, it would be useless to send him to such a place.
"Let's go to the City Lord Mansion first." Young Master Lyu said helplessly.
The City Lord Mansion of Luoshi City was the best preserved three-story building in the whole city.
Although it was very shabby, at least it was complete.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Hello, I am the new City Lord of Luoshi City. I am here to take over." Young Master Lyu came to the door and knocked on the table of the person who was sleeping.
"Huh?" The person who was sleeping suddenly froze.
"Where is your City Lord? I'll do it! "Eldest Young Master Lu said.
"Handover?" That person's eyes lit up.
"Okay." Eldest Young Master Lu took out the document.
"That's great, that's great. Benefactor, someone has finally come to hand over the goods. Thank you so much." That person was so excited that tears flowed out.
"You are?" Eldest Young Master Lu was stunned.
"I am the City Lord of Luoshi City. You want to hand it over, don't you? Everything is here. I'll stamp it now, and then I can transfer it away. You guys are really my great benefactors. "That person didn't say anything else, snatched the document and stamped it directly.
"Don't we need to check the city and other financial aspects?" Young Master Lu Asked.
Usually, the handover would take a few months.
And that was the most simple handover.
"There's no need to check. There are a total of twenty-seven people in this city, including me. As for finances, you can rest assured that we absolutely don't owe anyone money," said the former city lord of Luoshi City.
"Owe money to others? I'm asking about the treasury of the City Lord Mansion, "said Eldest Young Master Lu.
"What treasury? I'm afraid the rats inside are starving to death. There is no business here, nor is it suitable for agricultural development, so there is no tax. There is no money at all," said the former city lord of Luoshi City.
"A city like this should belong to the poor city. There should be subsidies from above. Besides, in a normal city, you should be able to get a salary, right?" Eldest Young Master Lu was even more puzzled.
"Of course there are subsidies. In the beginning, the Lu family may have allocated one million yuan for development, but after layers of exploitation, there may be less than one hundred yuan left. Moreover, we still need to give 99 yuan as a rebate. In the end, there is only one yuan left. As for my salary, except for the gifts, the rest is barely enough to keep me alive. And if I want to buy food, I have to run tens of thousands of kilometers away to buy it," explained the former city lord of Luoshi City.
Now Xiatian finally understood why he was so excited just now.
It turned out that he was finally out of trouble.
"Since it's like this here, why don't you leave here?" Asked Xiatian puzzled.
"According to the rules of the Lu family, no matter what the city is like, the city lord can't defect. Otherwise, it will be a great crime for nine generations to be executed. The foundation of the 1024 cities in the Lianyun Mountains is in the city of the Lu family, so no city lord dares to defect," explained Eldest Young Master Lu.
"Well, it's really hard for you." Xiatian looked at the former city lord of Luoshi City sympathetically, and then looked at Eldest Young Master Lu with the same sympathetically.
The former city lord of Luoshi City jumped out of the fire pit, but Eldest Young Master Lu jumped into the fire pit again.
"Don't say it. It's all tears. I can finally leave here." The former city lord of Luoshi City laughed wildly. He hurriedly ran out, as if he was afraid that Eldest Young Master Lu would go back on his words. In a flash, he ran away.
He was really out of the sea of bitterness.
Xiatian felt that the former city lord of Luoshi City was going crazy with excitement.
It was the same as Fan Jin passing the provincial examination.
He was so excited that he went crazy.
"Ah!!" Eldest Young Master Lu sat there and sighed, "Brother, it seems that I can't treat you to this wine."
It was not that he had no money.
It was that there was not even a pub here.
"It's okay." Xiatian said.
"When I was sent out, I was still full of enthusiasm. I thought that I could build a career with my own efforts and let those people in the family have a good look at me. But now …" Eldest Young Master Lu shook his head in self-mockery. He felt that his life was over here.
No one would send him away in this life.
Those people in the family couldn't wait for him to stay in this place for the rest of his life.
"Are you afraid?" Xiatian sat directly on a chair.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that there's no chance for me to work hard here. There's a total of 27 people. No, after the former mayor, there are only 26 people left. Including me and my eight brothers, there's a total of 35 people. Even if I work hard, what can 35 people do?" Eldest Young Master Lu really wanted to give up now.
Although he was very unwilling, he had no other way.
Even if he was given a village, he would accept it.
It was simply an abandoned city.
"I think it's good." Xiatian smiled slightly.
"Hmm?" Eldest Young Master Lu looked up at Xiatian.
"Have you ever thought about why there are 26 people in such a city?" Xiatian suddenly Asked.
