art, Fei Long City wouldn't be ruled by three great families, but four!"Here we go!"At the back of the crowd, someone saw Qu Xun coming over and immediately bowed respectfully. At the same time, due..."Hmm Zhang Gonggong"

"Mr. Cai, please excuse my sudden visit."

Within Cai Ning's manor, upon seeing Zhang Liyang's sudden arrival, Cai Ning wore a look of slight surprise.

"Well Don't you want me to come in and sit down"

"Oh, sorry. Come in!"

After Cai Ning had Zhang Liyang brought into the mansion, she had someone serve tea and then looked at Zhang Liyang, "Is there something going on with Princess"

He picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip, Zhang Liyang sighed faintly and shook his head. "Your Highness didn't sleep all night last night because of Mr. Cai."

Zhang Liyang's words startled Cai Ning. It wasn't just that his own work hadn't been done well, but he had also caused Mu Yinghua to worry. For Cai Ning, this was a bit of a loss; he only wanted to borrow the three hundred elite soldiers from Mu Yinghua, not to have her involved in this messy affair as well.

"I apologize, I was too frustrated at the time and bothered Your Highness with a few words. It was truly disrespectful of me to disturb you."

"Forget it, I'm doing this all for the Great Q dynasty and for Your Majesty."

"I came this time also to relieve Mr. Cai's worries."

"Oh" Cai Ning glanced at the young eunuch before him, "How do you say that, Zhang Gonggong"

"Your Highness has come to Flying Dragon City because of Your Majesty, for the sake of the dynasty. Now that Flying Dragon City is in dire straits, Your Highness would naturally not ignore it."

"This morning, Your Highness asked me to come to Master Cai and have a detailed discussion with him about the problems in Feilong City. Then we can find targeted solutions."

"Does that mean you're willing to help me"

"No." Zhang Liyang shook his head decisively, then smiled at Cai Ning's stunned gaze. "As I said, Your Highness is doing this for the people of Feilong City, for His Majesty, and for the Great Qin Dynasty."

"Well, haha... yeah, yeah, Zhang Gonggong is right."

Zhang Liyang's words made Cai Ning burst into laughter. Although Cai Ning sensed Zhang Liyang's intentions, he wasn't afraid at all.

At the end of the day, Mu Yinghua is just a princess, not a prince. If she were a prince, Cai Ning would have hesitated. Would this prince seize this opportunity to control Feilong City

As for Mu Yinghua, there's no need to worry about that at all. It's just a reputation. As long as we can solve the problems of Flying Dragon City, what difference does it make if Mu Yinghua's reputation is big or small

Mu Yinghua being a woman is the greatest obstacle for Zhang Liyang in completing his systematic mission, but it's also the greatest protection. No one would guard against an imperial princess!

After the two parties reached a tacit agreement, the atmosphere visibly relaxed. Cai Ning generously invited Zhang Liyang to stay for dinner and briefed him on the situation in Feilong City.

A place ruled by barbarians for two hundred years, you shouldn't imagine it could be very beautiful.

Only after delving deep into it can one truly understand the extent to which the level differentiation in Feilong City is severe.

The upper class gentry and wealthy landowners controlled almost all the resources within hundreds of miles of Feilong City, while the common people could only be described as living a miserable life!

Within Flying Dragon City, the largest forces are divided into three major families.

The Bai family, the Xue family, and the Jia family.

First, let's talk about the Jia family. They rose to prominence by flattering the then-powerful Assassin Lord, seizing power through ruthlessness and becoming one of the three powerful families in Flying Dragon City. They controlled 90% of the oil, rice, and cloth businesses both inside and outside Flying Dragon City.

To be blunt, if the head of the Jia family is in a bad mood today, tomorrow the entire Flying Sky City, including its millions of citizens, could face a food shortage.

This is an extremely terrifying power, it's not an exaggeration to say that it controls the life and death of millions of people.

The other two families are also evenly matched with this Jia family.

The Xue family, the largest landowning family in Feikong City, controlled nearly 80% of the good farmland and grasslands outside Fei Long City. Just from collecting rent, the Xue family could make a fortune every day.

But when it comes to ruthlessness and fierceness, the Bai family is the most formidable!

In the entire Flying Dragon City, all inns, restaurants, gambling dens, and brothels were in the hands of the Bai family. Even the largest underground gang in Flying Dragon City bore the surname Bai!

The Three Great Families controlled the livelihoods of over a million people both inside and outside Fei Long City. On the surface, Cai Ning was their parent official, but these Three Great Families were!

After introducing the three families, a wry smile appeared on Cai Ning's face. "I'm not afraid you'll laugh," he said, "but the day after His Highness showed his grace, the Xue family sent someone to demand those ten thousand jin of seeds, the lambs, and the calves."

"What did Mr. Cai give"

"No." Cai Ning shook her head. "But if I don't give it, who else can I give it to Even if I gave it to those peasants, in the end, they would still be planting on the Xue family's land."

As Cai Ning said, no matter what we do, the ultimate benefits will end up in the hands of those three families. How can we win the hearts and minds of the people under these circumstances

It's a pity that I can't use force, otherwise, I would send a large army to deal with the three influential families.

This is the root of the problem!

Dealing with the three major families cannot be done with force. Otherwise, with their intricate and interwoven connections, a single move could set off a chain reaction, plunging the entire Flying Dragon City into chaos.

"Beep, system task released: Dismantle the three major families of Flying Dragon City!"

Looking at the mission prompt popping up on the system, Zhang Liyang reached out and tapped the table with his finger. "Lord Cai, I will report this to Your Majesty."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Liyang didn't directly agree to Cai Ning, and Cai Ning didn't ask Zhang Liyang to agree right away. After chatting for a few more sentences, the two parted ways.

"Your Highness, this is the current situation in Fei Long City."

In the evening, Zhang Liyang recounted everything he knew in detail to Mu Yinghua.

"These three families are too detestable." Mu Yinghua's pretty face wrinkled, her eyes full of disgust for the three families.

"Zhang Liyang, what should we do now"

Dislike as I may, there's nothing I can do. After all, someone raised in the depths of the palace all her life couldn't possibly contend with these old foxes who have been scheming and maneuvering for half their lives.

"Your Highness, I have an idea..."

At night, Zhang Liyang spoke his thoughts one by one to Mu Yinghua. Mu Yinghua listened with wide eyes, and finally stared at Zhang Liyang in disbelief, "Zhang Liyang, when did you become so bad"

"Hmm..."

"Your Highness, I'm dealing with the bad guys here. How could this be wrong"

"Oh, yeah, yeah, to deal with these bad people, you should use bad methods... Oh no, that's wrong. It shouldn't be bad methods, it should be good methods, right"

Looking at Mu Yinghua, who was already dazed, Zhang Liyang couldn't help but roll his eyes and let out a sigh in his heart. "The path to cultivating an empress is fraught with peril!", cultivate to transform into charcoal fire, forging an immeasurable treasure bottle.
