Yu Qianrou is now a five-body cast person who admires Duanmuqi, although she also expected to recover some taxes, but she didn't expect it to be so much, and they all sent congratulatory gifts, the performance of these families is a little different from before! It seems that the Li family took the initiative to show goodwill, so that they couldn't sit still.

"Huh! I am very relieved that all the adults can pay their taxes in a timely manner. I also hope that I can make persistent efforts in the future, not to be hot for a while, and not to look left and right, and enter my obligations! Yu Qianrou sat on the dragon chair and said with a faint smile, with some warning in her words.

"Do the Holy Commandment!" All the officials sang in unison.

"Hmmm! Very good, next, I announce: appoint the fifth prince Yu Xiaobao as the patrol envoy to inspect the production, operation, people's livelihood and management of various places, and I hope that officials at all levels will actively cooperate, and the patrol envoy has the right to cut the officials below the county guard first! Yu Qianrou immediately appointed Zhu Xiaobao's control, he is not very familiar with the Northern Zirui Kingdom now, so he was temporarily appointed as an inspector, mainly to understand the situation of the Northern Zirui Kingdom first, of course, this is also the idea given by Duanmu Qi.

Although he received a lot of grain and silver taels at once, but there are more places to use money, Zhu Xiaobao is now ready to start building a wharf in the westernmost part of Beiqiao Town in North Zirui Kingdom, to prepare for the future trade routes, if you want to develop rapidly, you must open up the trade routes as soon as possible, sell your products, and at the same time buy back what you need as soon as possible!

said that it was an inspector, but Zhu Xiaobao could not immediately go everywhere to inspect, that would only be a waste of time, what he needed was a key point, this focus was the original Beiqiao Town, of course, Beiqiao Town is just a small town, belonging to Yingjun County. There are three counties and nine towns under the rule of Yingjun County, with a population of 2 million, and there are more than a dozen large and small families, of which there are three large ones, and the Vermilion Bird clan to which Zhu Rong belongs is one of them.

In order to facilitate Zhu Xiaobao's actions, Yu Qianrou specially assigned him 5,000 people, but Zhu Xiaobao is too much, as long as there are 1,000 elite cavalry, there are few people, and it is cavalry, so it is more convenient and fast to do things! Anyway, they didn't come here to fight.

As soon as Zhu Xiaobao arrived in Yingwan County, he lived in Beiqiao Town, and then posted a notice in three counties and nine towns, asking all counties and towns to collect the taxes owed for three days. Of course, you don't have to worry about these things, Duanmuqi is by your side, and these things can be done easily!

Don't look at Duanmuqi's usual smile, but he really shot is quite ruthless, and on the fourth day, he killed two magistrates, and destroyed a small family, even if it is a small family, there are tens of thousands of people, including three thousand private soldiers of his own family. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaobao led people to kill him directly.

What surprised Zhu Xiaobao a little was that the combat effectiveness of the thousand soldiers that Yu Qianrou gave him was actually quite strong, plus the 10,000 horses originally stationed in Yinglu County, and they also sent troops to cooperate, and this little family was wiped out in a blink of an eye! There was still a lot of gold, silver and grain confiscated, which made all the little treasures a little surprised, it seems that these large and small families are still very rich!

In addition to leaving a part of the reward army, the rest was transported back to the imperial city, which made Yu Qianrou surprised and delighted, and a little worried, for fear that Zhu Xiaobao's methods were too ruthless, but now that it was like this, he could only let him continue!

Although everyone can see that Zhu Xiaobao is asserting his authority, he is still a little frightened by this ruthless method! However, the effect was immediate, and those families and merchants who were lucky began to be honest, and the taxes that should be paid were paid one after another.

This time, a small family was destroyed, and Zhu Xiaobao even had a temporary mansion. After Zhu Xiaobao moved in, he was also very emotional, it was still a quick money to solve it by force, and now he even solved his own residence all of a sudden, and there were thousands of more people under his hands.

Of course, Duanmuqi has long been confident, and the solution by force is just a deterrent, and then it will be a combination of grace and power. Immediately after that, the three counties and nine towns of Yingwan County posted a notice that the royal launched a tofu workshop franchise store, and those who want to join will pay a franchise fee first, and the first 100 will be discounted. The franchise fee is one hundred taels of gold.

However, what is disappointing is that there is no one who originally intended to join, everyone is waiting, and no one knows if this hundred taels of gold is a way to collect money that Zhu Xiaobao came up with! The reason why Zhu Xiaobao did this was that he didn't want to promote it among ordinary people for the time being, and he wanted to control these families first. Let them gradually adapt to their own changes. Stabilize the situation as quickly as possible.

No one to join? It doesn't matter, Zhu Xiaobao is not worried, he immediately invited Zhu Rong, and now he is an inspector, speaking of which, Zhu Rong has to salute when he sees him!

"Hee-hee! Sister Princess, we meet again! Zhu Xiaobao received Zhu Rong in his study, and said with a smile as soon as they met.

"Humph! You were ruthless, and you wiped out the Liu family at once, don't you think it's too fierce? The other families are now very dissatisfied, and they are all protesting in the book! Zhu Rong looked at the cancellation Abel in front of her, although she knew that this was Duanmuqi's means, she still felt that she had a sense of awe and jealousy towards this little fat man.

"So, didn't we start taking a softer approach right now!" Zhu Xiaobao still said with a smile.

"Is it the tofu workshop franchise store you pushed out?" Zhu Rong's heart moved, and then asked.

"Yes, others don't know, you should be very clear, this kind of thing, not only low cost, but also very popular, once launched, it is definitely popular, you don't see that no one dares to join now, but if you want to join in the future, then you have to double the franchise fee!" Zhu Xiaobao said confidently.

"You're asking us to set an example first? Join in? Zhu Rong nodded and asked.

"Oops! I thought of you in advance, it's not that I can't find someone to do it, I think of you as my own sister! Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly waved his hand in defense.

"Hmmm! How many tofu workshops do you want us to join? Zhu Rong nodded a little helplessly, of course she knew the huge market value of this kind of tofu, especially there are many extended products, which are very popular!

"It depends on your vision, the more franchise stores you open, the more you earn, you don't need me to explain this to you, right?" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.

"Okay, then we'll open ten tofu workshops, and I'll ask someone to send a thousand taels of gold when we go back!" Zhu Rong said a little hesitantly, let the clan take out a thousand taels of gold at once, she has to go back and explain it well, and it also involves the façade and manpower of ten tofu workshops, which is actually a bit difficult. And Zhu Rong is obviously not in a state today, as if she has something on her mind.

"Hey, hey, sister, this is an opportunity to make a lot of money, why don't you seem to be paying much attention?" Zhu Xiaobao asked a little dissatisfied, originally he thought that Zhu Rong would at least be able to win the Tofu Processing Workshop of Time, but he didn't expect that it was only half of what he expected.

"Well, Xiaobao, I'll go back first, I'm in a bad mood today,...... King Wen he ...... Passed away! Zhu Rong lowered her head and said in a voice, and at the same time, she couldn't help but leave two lines of tears in her eyes......

"Huh? He's dead? Killed by the Seven Princesses? Zhu Xiaobao was also stunned, to say that he felt really good about King Wen, and he had been helped by King Wen, so he didn't dislike King Wen very much.

"I don't know, the news I received is suicide, and the rest don't know!" Zhu Rong shook her head, and then hurriedly endured her grief and left Zhu Xiaobao's study.

After Zhu Rong left, Duanmuqi listened to Zhu Xiaobao's simple statement, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Dead? So fast? Shouldn't it? Although the seventh princess is a little extreme, she will never want to kill him! There's something wrong with that! ”

It turned out that Duanmu Qi didn't care much about King Wen's news after he was placed under house arrest, and people who no longer had threats and value were not worthy of his attention, so he had just heard the news of King Wen's suicide now. But there is a little strange in my heart, although King Wen has no use value now, but in the future, if he goes to King Wen's fiefdom, King Wen's appeal is still there, and the seventh princess will not think of this, since King Wen has committed suicide now, it can only be explained that there is another reason!

Sure enough, as Zhu Rong expected, after she went back, the clan didn't understand this kind of franchise method very well, and she also had a lot of franchise fees, which was like grabbing money! If it weren't for Zhu Rong's optimism about the prospects of this tofu workshop, and her inextricable connection with Zhu Xiaobao, she would really not have been approved. But now, just like she estimated, she can only win the franchise fee of ten franchise stores, that is, 1,000 taels of gold. Moreover, the construction and decoration of the franchise store has to be done by itself.

Duanmuqi also didn't understand the way this franchise store operated, and even doubted that someone would be willing to remove this franchise fee, of course, Zhu Rong's joining was because of his trust in Zhu Xiaobao.

After three days, the first tofu workshop opened, as Zhu Xiaobao expected, the business is very prosperous, it can be described as hot, there are tofu soup that is now made and sold, and there is tofu that can be cut and brought back to be processed by themselves, and in addition, it is ready to launch dried tofu, tofu skin, old tofu, tender tofu, anyway, there are more follow-up extension products!

Moreover, the sales of tofu workshops can not only be settled with copper coins, but also exchanged with beans, which is greatly welcomed by those ordinary people, who have not much else in their homes, that is, more beans.

With the opening of the ten tofu workshops of the Suzaku clan, the business continues to be booming, and there are long queues at the entrance of each tofu workshop, and I have never seen anything so popular! Some small families can't sit still, although it is a franchise fee, but looking at this hot sales scene, this franchise fee must be recovered, and what is even more exciting is that this thing is a royal patent, and if you don't join, you can't operate, and you can't imitate it at all. And there are tentatively 100 stores to be opened in Yingqi County.

So on the tenth day, someone had already come to the door to negotiate, but when I asked, I found out that the original discount was gone! The current franchise fee is two hundred taels of gold!
