Chapter 273: A New Official Takes Office

"What else?" Rong Yuanhang began to be a little dissatisfied with this Cheng Kui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for his military status, he would have been ignored a long time ago.

"Forehead......" Cheng Kui turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chen, and said, "Mr. Zhou Qian, you can tell everyone about the situation." ”

Zhou Chen nodded, he took a sip of wine before saying: "That's the case, according to the practice in previous years, your two associations, the Long Knife Gang and the Golden Snake Gang, donate 20 million taels of silver to our camp every year. However, starting this year, this number will have to be changed. ”

Rong Yuanhang frowned, he glanced at Lei Ding, how could there be such a stubble in his heart? Although 20 million silver is not a lot, why should they be given to them for no reason? So he asked, "How to change the law?" ”

Zhou Chen stretched out a slap and said, "You have to add more than fifty percent of the filial piety silver - from this year onwards, it will cost 30 million taels of silver!" ”

"Ah, thirty million taels?" Xu Yugeng was taken aback.

Cheng Kui cared about Rong Yuanhang's attitude, and when he saw his obviously dissatisfied expression, he smiled slightly and explained: "Young Master Rong, this extra 10 million is not for our camp. Alas, we can't help it, the camp office is also poor, military expenses, various expenses and miscellaneous expenses are very different every year, it is far from enough to rely on the city lord's mansion to allocate it, and we have to rely on the strong support of you businessmen. In fact, if the gambling houses, tobacco houses, and brothels you run are subject to heavy taxes by adhering to the laws of the Iron City, then your taxes will be no less than that! ”

Before Rong Yuanhang could speak, Xu Yugeng couldn't help it, this was related to his vital interests, he couldn't help but get anxious, and said: "Master Cheng, we all know this, but you will add 10 million taels of silver at once, this is really, indeed too high!" ”

"Is it high? Hehe, we can't help it. Cheng Kui shook his head with a smile, and said: "Everyone is an old friend, I can tell the truth, in fact, this silver is not what we want to add, but what we want to add!" ”

"Above?"

At this time, Zhou Chen said: "Gang Master Xu, the new commander of Beitan has arrived. The first thing this lord did when he took office was to ask us to raise this filial piety money. I can't help it with Lord Totsu! ”

"Huh? This ......" Xu Yugeng was speechless for a while. He had already heard about the new official taking office. But I didn't expect to start with them at the beginning of my tenure.

"What kind of official is the commander, which yamen?" Rong Yuanhang was confused. Turned his head and asked Lei Ding, who was sitting beside him.

Lei Ding glanced at him strangely, and explained in a low voice: "Gang leader, the commander is the most official and chief officer of our Beitan Mansion, well, he is commonly known as the captain of the patrol city, and he is in charge of the security and taxation in our area. ”

"Captain of the Patrol City? No way! Rong Yuanhang then understood, it turned out that this commander was the captain of the city patrol! He always felt that this 'commander' should be like the commander of a certain region in modern times.

"Young Master Rong is not a native of our Iron City, right?" At this time, Cheng Kui guessed his question sharply, if it was impossible for the locals not to understand what the commander represented.

"Uh......" Rong Yuanhang didn't want to answer his question, and asked instead: "Master Cheng, I really don't know much about the situation, who is this new commander?" ”

"The old man's surname in the military gate is Jin, and the name is 'heavy' and 'far', from the Extreme Imperial Sect." Cheng Kui replied to him simply.

"Extreme Imperial Sect? Kim Chong-won? Rong Yuanhang raised his eyebrows. He couldn't help but feel unlucky, he couldn't get rid of the shadow of the Extreme Imperial Sect wherever he went!

"Huh? Kim Chong-won? Why do you think this name is familiar? …… Oh, it can't be him, right? Rong Yuanhang suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in Black Iron City, he had met the mining team of the Extreme Imperial Sect on the way to the Yuanjing Mine, and their captain didn't call himself Jin Chongyuan?

Cheng Kui's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "What, Gongzi knows Lord Jin?" ”

"Maybe I know. I don't know it well, so I should have had a one-sided relationship. Rong Yuanhang replied. He asked, "But when did he take office?" How did I not know? ”

"It's been less than seven or eight days since I arrived." Cheng Kui replied.

Rong Yuanhang was puzzled, Dongfang Xi had tried his best to persuade himself to take the position of captain of the city, but it was only a month before and after, how could he let the people of the Extreme Imperial Sect occupy this position? He couldn't help but recall the scene of the battle between the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Abyss and Qingfeng's master and apprentice that day.

This Qingfeng Daoist is not simple, he is a martial god-level figure. And his apprentice, Qi Xiaoxian, personally revealed his identity - His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of the Great Shun Empire, that is, a member of the Dongfang family. The current supreme leader of the Iron City is a member of the Dongfang family. There is an irresolvable contradiction between the Extreme Imperial Sect and the Dongfang Family, but how could the official position of the commander fall into the hands of the Extreme Imperial Sect? He wondered if the battle between the two Martial Gods had affected high-level decision-making? What's the connection?

……

Several people reached an agreement on the timing of this meal. Considering that the captain of the city patrol was a person from the Extreme Imperial Sect, Rong Yuanhang didn't want to startle the snake, so he agreed to Cheng Kui's request to increase filial piety silver. He is well aware that this part of the income, as gray income, only goes into the personal pockets of these bureaucrats.

This time, the Golden Snake Gang casino was in trouble, but the gain was not small. Back at the headquarters of the Long Knife Gang stationed in Lin Gong Village, Rong Yuanhang counted the money he had won in the casino - a total of 33,150,000 taels of gold!

He thought to himself that Xu Yugeng's gang leader probably didn't know that he had lost so much money in the casino at that time, and if he knew, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood, and it would be strange not to pick the dealer's skin.

For every cubic meter of storage space that the space-travel instrument opens, it requires 10 million units of energy. If one tael of Bai Yuan Crystal is equivalent to seventy single digits, every sixty taels of gold can buy one tael of Bai Yuan Crystal, and according to this calculation, 10 million units of energy need about 8.57 million taels of gold.

The storage space was so useful that Rong Yuanhang couldn't wait to spend more than 25.7 million taels of gold to ask Cailong to buy enough 30 million units of Yuan Jing. Then, increase your storage space to four cubic meters.

"The space is still too small, if there is one or two hundred cubic meters, it would be good." People's greed is without a place, the space has increased by three cubic meters, Rong Yuanhang is still very dissatisfied, he thinks that if there is one or two hundred cubic meters, then it can fit a few 40-foot containers.

The next day, Xu Yugeng came to the door with a gift and presented a thousand taels of blue crystal. However, Rong Yuanhang did not keep this money for himself, and for the sake of fairness, he handed over this part of the money to the public account office in the gang.

The reconciliation with the Golden Serpent Gang eased the tense atmosphere within the gang. The disciples no longer have to worry about being suddenly attacked in a certain corner one day. The Golden Snake Gang is like a dark cloud, a haze, and a big stone pressed against the Long Knife Gang, and now this big stone has finally been removed, and the whole gang cheers for it, and all the disciples have a further understanding of Rong Yuanhang, the new gang leader.

Rong Yuanhang single-handedly picked the gambling house of the Golden Snake Gang, beat hundreds of disciples to the ground, and finally led to the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers, but he was able to be safe, and he also asked the leader of the Golden Snake Gang to come to the door to apologize in person. These deeds spread all over the streets and alleys within a day, and every member of the Xianyang Gang was even more honored, and they were very proud of Rong Yuanhang, the new gang leader.

……

Today, accompanied by Ding Lei, Xiao Yan'er and Lan Xitian, Rong Yuanhang came to the construction site of Datong Gambling House again like a modern official inspecting the grassroots level. After all, this is also my own business, and it is the first time to start a business in this other world, so I am more concerned.

The original area of Datong Casino was more than 1,300 square meters. Facing the street to the north, the faΓ§ade is about 15 meters, the length of the house reaches 90 meters, and behind it is a dense residential area. In the front is Ti'an Street, which has a huge flow of people.

When Rong Yuanhang and his party came here, there were some porters who were sending sand and bricks to the construction site. The lumber was also piled up in the corner. The three backbone disciples of the gang are in charge of guarding and directing here.

"What are you going to do? Is it rebuilt as it was? Rong Yuanhang turned his head and asked Lei Ding.

"Uh...... Yes, Helper, what do you instruct? Lei Ding said humbly.

The gambling house is the main source of income, and Rong Yuanhang looked at this place and felt that he should start with this small shop. So he said, "Don't rush to build the house just yet, wait until I ask someone to redesign the drawings and then think about what to do." But now sand, bricks, and more can be entered. Well, I'm going to build a high-rise building, maybe five stories or so. ”

"Five floors? This ......" Lei Ding, Xiao Yan'er, and Lan Xitian were all taken aback, and they all thought: Is it too nonsense for the helper to do this? The two green buildings were closed by his order for no reason, and now they are going to build a five-story high-rise building?

Due to the limitations of construction technology, the mainstream buildings here are civil structures, and it is not impossible to build five-storey buildings, provided that there are good materials and skilled craftsmen. But there is a weight-bearing issue to consider. It is simply impractical to build a high-rise building of this size, because each floor can only be paved with wooden planks, and its load-bearing capacity can be imagined. What's more, it is a place with a huge flow of people like a casino, so it is no wonder that it will not collapse at that time.

"Helper, these five floors are not appropriate, are they? …… Wouldn't it be unsafe to build too high? Lei Ding cautiously reminded him.

Rong Yuanhang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Lei, I know what you are worried about." But I have my own law, and I'll talk about it in a few days. Let's go and see a few other smoke houses and green buildings. ”

With a concrete frame structure, even the highest level is not a problem. If it weren't for the problem of matching the surrounding environment, he would have wanted to build the building higher. This is all for the sake of saving land and increasing business space.

In the past, the Long Knife Gang had a total of five smoke houses and three green buildings. However, two of the smoke houses and one green building were destroyed by Cailong and Xiao Wu, and the remaining two green buildings were ordered to close down by Rong Yuanhang, so only three smoke houses are still open for business.

Rong Yuanhang didn't want to make up his mind about these three smoke houses for the time being, his purpose was to see the demolished site and the closed green building. Only after this look did I know that the two smoke houses that were demolished were located on Ti'an Street, and the total area of the land was about four or five thousand square meters. A green building is also located on the north side of Ti'an Street, opposite two smoke houses.

As for the other two closed green buildings, they are in a place called Baiyang Castle, far away from Ti'an Street. It is also a bustling downtown area, and the construction area is the largest of the two.

After Rong Yuanhang came back from his investigation, he thought of a solution: that is, land replacement. Negotiated the replacement of the two green buildings in Poplar Fort with the four shops on Ti'an Street, and even did not hesitate to put some money upside down. The purpose is to connect the two tobacco houses into a single piece of land. If the replacement is successful, then this piece of land will be 20,000 square meters, and he plans to demolish the land connecting the two smoke houses of the four shops and build a new 'super' restaurant.

As for the green building opposite, he also thought about it - that is, to change it into a photo studio. The photography industry is absolutely the first of its kind in the world, and it is unique and dominating the market, and he believes that this kind of photo studio will bring him a very considerable amount of income.

In this way, changing several scattered shops into one place on Changti Street is not only easy to manage but also to form a scale, which has the advantage of monopolizing the market and creating more amazing profits for the future.

The matter of land replacement was handed over to Lei Ding, Lan Xitian and others to negotiate, and Rong Yuanhang believed that they would have a satisfactory result. Because according to the property value of those two green houses, which is much higher than the four shops on Cheung Ti Street, there is no reason why they should not change. If the other party still refuses, at most subsidize some expenses, but you must take these four shops, because these four shops are right in the middle of the two smoke houses.

After arranging these things, Rong Yuanhang took the time to cross back to the main plane.

At the villa in Guangyue City, Rong Yuanhang called Lin Haiyan: "Haiyan, have those mirrors and lighters arrived?" ”

"It's already partial, and according to your instructions, it's all packed in containers and transported to Fuwangshan Orchard. Among them, 300,000 mirrors and 10 containers; Eight boxes of 1 million lighters, and the other goods manufacturers promised to be able to get them together within two months. Boss, when are you coming over to pick it up? Lin Haiyan said on the phone.

Rong Yuanhang said: "Don't worry, wait for me to go back to the sunshine, by the way, you inform Lin Linwei, Chen Chenghui, Zhuo Xiaoling, and the three of them, and go to my Yuguiyuan villa with you in the afternoon, let's meet, I have something to tell you." ”

"Oh, okay." The boss wants to meet with us? Lin Haiyan's heart suddenly went up and down.

Putting down the phone, Rong Yuanhang went back to the room to change into a modern outfit. At this time, it was already winter, and a black Louis Vuitton suit, a white shirt and black leather shoes suddenly looked extremely handsome.

He went downstairs and found Li Chunchun, who was busy in the kitchen, and said, "Chunchun, come back to Sunshine City with me, and meet Lao Zheng and Haiyan, we haven't been together for a long time." ”

"Ah, you want to get back to the sun? Yes, yes! But breakfast is almost ready, boss, let's go back after breakfast? Li Chunchun is wearing a kitchen skirt and a hat to prevent oil smoke at this time, full of the image of a housewife.

After the two had breakfast, Cailong was the driver, and drove the BMW luxury car with a price of more than 3 million yuan to Gwangyang City, which was more than 200 kilometers away...... (To be continued.) )
