Chapter 124: Commentary
Du Bangyue thought about it, in fact, the uncle didn't know the specific details of this matter, and it was useless for Mo Xiaofei to go.
Du Bangyue said, "Didn't we discuss it at that time, when you become a big official, you will go to investigate my father's affairs, you go to ask now, and if you can't find any results, if you are detected by others, you will get into trouble." ”
Although the beggar gang and the folk religion have not yet developed and grown, Mo Xiaofei believes that he now has a certain ability to protect himself, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to deal with themselves.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Bang Yue, don't worry, I am measured, as your nominal father-in-law, it is not wrong for me to understand your father's affairs." ”
Du Bangyue hugged Mo Xiaofei with emotion, "Xie Lu, thank you Xiaofei, be careful." ”
Then Du Wanyue told Mo Xiaofei the person's residence and surname.
When Mo Xiaofei and Gu Feng met last time, the relationship between the two was good, and Mo Xiaofei's good impression of Gu Feng increased, and Gu Feng secretly revealed some news to himself, which showed that Gu Feng was a friend enough.
But now if they meet in Chengzhou Mansion, the relationship between the two has changed dramatically.
Seeing Gu Feng in the mansion, Mo Xiaofei didn't smile at all, and politely said, "Master Gu." ”
Gu Feng was the most aggrieved in his heart, why did he fence off Wuluo Mountain, why did he only open a gate in Wuxian County, the territory of Baiqu County, why didn't he let people go up the mountain.
Gu Feng just wanted to test Mo Xiaofei and Wuxian at first, why did you Wuxian beat people.
However, Gu Feng was angry in his heart, and he didn't feel out of his heart, and said with an amiable face, "It turned out that Master Mo was here, I don't know if you have a reasonable explanation for the dispute between the two counties, why did Wuxian County surround Wuluo Mountain, and why did you set up the gate to enter the mountain in Wuxian." ”
Gu Feng's tone was not heavy, and after finishing speaking, he drank tea calmly, waiting for Mo Xiaofei to give an explanation.
Mo Xiaofei sat down beside Gu Feng, and he had to face what he should face.
In fact, this matter was Mo Xiaofei's unreasonableness, and he didn't care about beating people, he sent people to surround the entire Wuluo Mountain, and half of the Wuluo Mountain was in Baiqu County, this right was exceeded, Mo Xiaofei must admit it.
The reason why he is so unreasonable to do all this is entirely because of the interests of the future development of hot springs, Gu Feng can't do anything famous, so Mo Xiaofei can't give up the God-given opportunity to others, others may only be able to play a five-point role, and he can use it 100%.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Master Gu, in fact, I did this for the sake of Baiqu County and Wu County, and for the common interests of our two families. ”
It's really clever and strong, Gu Feng said, "Hmph, what a common interest, I want to listen to Master Mo's explanation, what benefits Baiqu County has gained." ”
Mo Xiaofei told Gu Feng why he wasn't thinking about Baiqu County and surrounding Wuluo Mountain, this is a kind of hype, if you want to go in to see the excitement, you have to pay money, the reason why there is only a passage left, it is also because things are scarce and expensive, and the door is opened too much, but it seems that the hot water in the mountain is not worth it.
"Master Gu, I also see that this mountain has the value of development and utilization, so protect it in advance, whether it is Wuxian County or Baiqu County to manage, it belongs to the government, and it is beneficial for me to take some measures in advance, right."
Gu Feng squeezed out a smile, "Okay, good, Master Mo is really good at saying good things, just when what you said is all right, why don't you let Baiqu County do this, and the door won't be opened to Baiqu County?" ”
"Hehe, the two of you had a good chat."
Lu Renyi stepped in from outside and sat directly on the main stool.
Mo Xiaofei and Gu Feng called at the same time, "Hello Lord Prefect." ”
Lu Renyi waved his hand and said, "Before the mansion came in, the two magistrates must be discussing the matter of Wuluo Mountain, okay, I see that you have also talked about it, one by one, whoever has a better idea of Wuluo Mountain, which side the government supports, who will say it first." ”
Mo Xiaofei saluted, "Please speak first, Lord Gu." ”
Gu Feng didn't forget to have a lot of thoughts, and said, "Okay, I can talk about it first, but Lord Prefect, the idea that the lower officials have already said, Lord Mo can't repeat it for a while." ”
Lu Renyi nodded, "Master Gu's words are reasonable, and there is no repetition of what the two of you said in a while, okay, let's start talking." ”
Lu Renyi had an expectant look, he didn't know what he could do with these hot waters, listen to these two people, if he can really make a lot of money, he can also participate in it immediately.
Gu Feng said his thoughts with vigor, in fact, where did he have any good way, that is, he repeated what Wuxian was doing now.
Because there is a miraculous hot water in Wuluo Mountain, there is no fire and warm, I don't know how many people rushed to visit Ludao, and these people want to go up the mountain must pay silver, ten cents can pass one person.
In order to get Lu Renyi's support, Gu Feng pulled farther and farther, saying that he could also transport warm water down the mountain, claiming that it could be used to cure the people's holy water, five taels of silver and a small bottle, how much could be sold, after all, after a long time, everyone would know that the warm water was ineffective.
Lu Renyi couldn't help nodding, he thought that Gu Feng's idea was still good.
Lu Renyi said, "Master Gu, you have two ideas, the first proposal to collect money before you can go up the mountain is very good, but as far as I know, Wuxian has begun to do this now, but this method has a very fatal flaw, that is, the novelty is gone, no one will come to Chengzhou Mansion, and no one will spend money to go up the mountain to see the so-called warm water without fire." ”
Mo Xiaofei secretly said in his heart, this Lu Renyi is really a little level, because the inn has not been built, so Mo Xiaofei is just using this method for a short time to make some money, it is indeed not a long-term solution, Lu Renyi pointed out the defects of the method after listening to it.
Mo Xiaofei listened carefully to Lu Renyi's words.
"Master Gu, your second method is to treat this mountain as holy water, lying that it can cure diseases, hehe, the method is still quite poisonous, I believe that under the recent rumors, someone will definitely spend money to buy it, but again, the time is too short, and this water is useless except for warmth, I think soon this rare matter in Wuluo Mountain will subside."
Although Lu Renyi was not satisfied with either method, he didn't have to do anything, and he got a sum of money out of thin air, and Lu Renyi gladly accepted it.
Lu Renyi looked at Mo Xiaofei, "Master Mo, it's your turn, I hope you can say something that interests the mansion." ”
Mo Xiaofei has to tell it, but he has to leave it behind, if he tells it all, Lu Renyi and Gu Feng will know how to run it, so they only need to mention it a little.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Lord Prefect, in my opinion, a very large inn can be built on Wuluo Mountain, and everyone who stays in this inn can enjoy free hot water bathing, and three meals a day are in the inn, and you only need to pay five taels of silver a day." ”
Mo Xiaofei's plan was ten taels, but he was afraid that he would shock the two of them if he said it, so he quoted a price of five taels of silver a day.
Lu Renyi asked, "Ordinary inn for one night, order a few side dishes, the first-class room is only two taels of silver, the inn on Wuluo Mountain has one more natural hot bath service than ordinary inns, you can have an extra three taels of silver?" Master Mo, I think your idea is good, but it's not realistic. ”
Gu Feng also said on the side, "Yes, if you live in an inn for a day, what you eat is not worth five taels of silver, if a couple leads two children, it will cost twenty taels of silver a day, Lord Mo, how many people do you think will go to live in Wuluoshan Inn." ”
Mo Xiaofei didn't want to explain too much, and said, "Lord Prefect, a person spends five taels of silver a day, and the lower officials think it is not expensive, as for how to publicize, how to package, and how to build Wuluo Mountain, this is the key." ”
Lu Renyi clapped his hands and seemed to agree with Mo Xiaofei's words.
Lu Renyi said, "I already know the two of you, in my opinion, Master Mo's ideas are better, Master Gu, do you say yes." ”
Gu Feng suddenly became disappointed and said, "Lord Prefect, can you give Xia Guan another day, and Xia Guan will come up with a better way to make money." ”
Gu Feng listened to what Mo Xiaofei said, and did get some inspiration.
Lu Renyi said, "No need, the government has already said that whoever of you has the better proposal will be supported by the government." ”
Mo Xiaofei got up and said, "Lord Prefect, the lower official requests that Wuluo Mountain be included in the jurisdiction of Wu County, and Xia Guan will definitely do his best to use Wu Luo Mountain to strengthen Wu County and pay more taxes and silver to the government office." ”
Gu Feng didn't give in, seeing that the matter had come to this, he also got up and arched his hand, "Lord Prefect, if the adults really want to assign Wuluo Mountain to Wuxian County, the lower officials have no right to obstruct it, but Baiqu County has been under the jurisdiction of Wuluo Mountain for a long time, if Wuxian County uses it to earn silver in the future, the lower officials dare to ask that forty percent of the profits be transferred to Baiqu County." ”
Mo Xiaofei glanced at Gu Feng, yo, his appetite is really big, and he wants to take forty percent without doing anything.
However, Gu Feng did not agree, the two counties are adjacent, and there will be many problems in the future, Mo Xiaofei said, "Lord Prefect, the lower officials conceived it like this, in addition to the tax and silver paid to the government office, Wuxian County accounted for 30%, Baiqu County accounted for 20%, and the merchants who invested in the company accounted for 50%. ”
"Ha Lu Ha!"
Lu Renyi laughed, "The two magistrates sit down, I have already made a decision on this matter, in order to support the development of your two counties, the tax and bank government will not take a penny." ”
Mo Xiaofei and Gu Feng glanced at each other, and the two looked at Lu Renyi in confusion, Mo Xiaofei believed that Lu Renyi was by no means this kind of official who supported local economic development.
Sure enough, Lu Renyi quickly added, "In the future, the government will account for 50%, the merchants will account for 30%, and Wuxian and Baiqu counties will each account for 10%, hehe, my arrangement is quite reasonable." ”
Lu Renyi opened his mouth and said his conditions, whether the evaluation of the two counties is false or not, and it is Lu Renyi's ultimate goal to occupy more interests for himself.
Leaning back in his chair, Lu Renyi showed an expression of indisobedience, raised his eyebrows and swept the faces of Mo Xiaofei and Gu Feng.
