Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2457 Negotiation

Chapter 2457  Negotiation

Prince Yang Lu arched his eyebrows.

He thought that Song Chuan wanted to ask about whether he wanted to take over the power of Cheng City.

After all, those three people who came to see him before were all asking this question. They might not be as direct as the last person, but Prince Yang Lu could see their deep ambition. As for Song Chuan…

Prince Yang Lu felt that this man also has ambition, but this ambition was different from those officials who came to him before. "What do you want to know?" Prince Yang Lu asked. "Cheng City is destined not to be Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City anymore in the future," Song Chuan said slowly. "The development of Cheng City has to rely on something else, so I want to know what His Highness thought about it."

Many people came to Cheng City in the past because it was Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and they wanted to make a name for themselves here. Or perhaps they just wanted to make a fortune and so on. Of course, not all of them were successful but at the very least, they tried. "Business?" Prince Yang Lu was dumbfounded. He thought that Song Chuan wanted to talk about the problem of power distribution and so on, which was quite annoying if he had to say. But it turned out that Song Chuan wanted to talk about business in Cheng City. In this regard, Prince Yang Lu didn't know much.

He didn't have much power in Cheng City and it has been years since he knew about the city's development. After Emperor Yang Zhou was in power, what could be told to Prince Yang Lu deceased considerably. Not that he cared too much about it either. After all, Prince Yang Lu knew that his older brother was still somewhat wary of him and would not let his presence affect Fei Yang Kingdom.

"I'm not sure about that. Cheng City has never been a truly business city and many people who come here are people who wants to become official," Prince Yang Lu slowly said.

Now that Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to move the Capital City, there were many nobles who followed him and wanted to go there for the sake of a better future. It was unknown how many people would choose to stay.

People like Song Chuan who choose to stay in Cheng City could be considered to be quite rare. Many others wanted to take the bet and also served Emperor Yang Zhou closely for the sake of better future and so on. But since he was one of the few highest ranked official… he has higher chance to become the next governor. "It's true." Song Chuan nodded. He knew this problem as well.

Over the years, there were many people who came to Cheng City because it was Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. But after Emperor Yang Zhou moved away, this phenomenon has a downward trend and the number of people who come had decreased considerably. It was estimated that more and more people would not come here in the future because they didn't see the reason to. But Song Chuan didn't want that. He believed Cheng City has great potential and he wished that under his rule, Cheng City could become an important city in Fei Yang Kingdom. "Because of this, I hope Your Highness can support the business proposal I'm about to make in the next court meeting after the reshuffle is over," Song Chuan said slowly.

Prince Yang Lu arched his eyebrows. "Let me hear the content first."

"Yes."

With that, Song Chuan started to tell Prince Yang Lu about his plan for Cheng City. A plan that would shape the future of this city.

…

Prince Yang Lu sipped the tea and looked at the document in front of him. He laughed lightly. "It seems that Cheng City will be different in the future."

He didn't expect that Song Chuan would be so bold. This man dared to propose new regulation for Cheng City, which would definitely test their management and also security to the greatest extent. But if this plan succeeded, Cheng City would truly be prosperous. Of course, Song Chuan couldn't do it by himself.

So he came to Prince Yang Lu, just to borrow the Imperial Family name behind him so that his action could be said to be agreed by the Imperial Family. This would produce deterrent effect against those who wanted to go against him. Aside from him, Song Chuan would have to talk with the few noble families in Cheng City, especially the three overlords, the Xiao Family, the Nan Family, and the Long Family. These three families had rooted in Cheng City for so many years and since they had reached extremely high status, their people didn't move to follow Emperor Yang Zhou. The Xiao Family still split their family and some of them went to the new capital city but the Nan Family and the Long Family basically did nothing. It seemed as if they were prepared to be left behind. Aside from these three, there were also a few other noble families.

If Song Chuan really wanted to succeed, he would have to talk with each and every single one of them. Only in this way would it be possible for him to proceed with his plan. "It'll be interesting." Prince Yang Lu chuckled.

…

Long Family Residence

After receiving the banquet invitation from the Xiao Family, Nan Hua spent her time investigating the Xiao Family.

The Dark Moon Organization under Nan Hua might have been disbanded, but it didn't mean that she has no one who worked for her. The foundation of Dark Moon Organization still existed and the information gathering businesses that she had built was also there. Through this, Nan Hua knew that the Xiao Family was basically split into several factions.

It seemed that this family that had a long history had experienced an earth shattering problem.
