835: Happy 2019!
To get back to the point, the team of secret envoys sent by the princess to Fanshi County had been lingering in the hot spring resort for four more days for a week before she knew it.
Of course, they are not casual people who abolish the public for personal reasons, as the princess's trusted envoys, even gold and silver bribes and the temptation of beautiful women will not let them be easily shaken, and of course they will not be crushed by the hot spring resort.
Staying here was itself a task entrusted to them by the princess - Luo Ming had blown the spa resort to the sky, and they had to experience it for themselves.
At the same time, you can also observe the source of tourists on the spot, and if this hot spring resort is really profitable, it will definitely be full of visitors.
Therefore, it is necessary to linger for a while in order to see through the reality.
Luo Ming's reputation for resourcefulness has gradually spread, and in turn, it is he who is cunning and treacherous.
In the imagination of the secret envoys, it is entirely possible for this cunning young nobleman to get a group of nurseries and pretend to be prosperous in business to trick people.
However, the princess did not strictly stipulate which day these envoys would go and which day they would return, and the schedule was relatively relaxed, with some room for flexibility - the trains of the 21st century could be delayed, let alone ride horses in this world.
The comfort and fun of the hot spring resort also made them a little reluctant, so they made an excuse to delay a little longer......
Anyway, Luo Ming and the royal family have cooperated in many aspects, and there are not many factors that may cause conflict for the time being, so this trip is not a big deal. It is not surprising that a few horses are killed and a layer of skin is worn off their thighs, as is the case with some unlucky people in a hurry, such as when an envoy wants to convey the news of war.
However, while they were delaying their stay, they still found a certain amount of time to work every day - if they really didn't do any work at all, it would not be good for any of their colleagues to go back and tell the truth.
At most, if you work less, you will be reprimanded, anyway, everyone is working less, and the law does not blame the public. But if someone doesn't work at all, and everyone else does a little bit, then he is a standout - and his colleagues may even pin the pot of delay on his head.
Now, the members of the regiment have handed over their statistical data to the head of the regiment, who will sort out and analyze them, and compare them with the data given by Luo Ming.
The number of visitors per day, the number of departing guests, the approximate consumption, and the length of stay...... Although there is no way to compare with the new statistics that Luo Ming has implemented among the territorial officials, it can be regarded as a serious effort.
After 11 days of statistics, the vigilance and doubts in the head of the regiment gradually turned into surprise and pleasure.
From this period of investigation, he found that the profitability of hot spring resorts is really amazing - he also did a little research before coming here, and learned about the income of other hot springs, and then compared it with the data in front of him, it shows a huge gap.
In the first few days of his arrival, probably due to the fact that the average daily income of the hot springs had reached seven times that of the usual hot springs in the first few days, the craze for the opening had gradually subsided, but after it stabilized, it also generated nearly four times the profit per day.
Consider the number of hot springs in the name of the princess, or the royal family, and this will bring in a huge amount of income.
The head of the regiment himself was the richest of the entire secret legations, and he was originally the concubine of the baron's family, and sooner or later he would return home to take over the family business, and he held this position only to show his loyalty to the royal family and the next Grand Duke.
But when compared to this income, the family business he will inherit also looks shabby - and this is just a simple year's income, and he will be able to earn a lot more every year.
The princess will soon succeed to the throne, and the principality has just finished a big battle, and there are many places to spend money, and if it goes well this time, its income will not be a small amount of money for the entire treasury......
Soon, the happy time of eating, drinking, living and playing at public expense here came to an end. At the farewell banquet, the head of the regiment asked suspiciously:
"Your Highness, you are willing to offer such a precious gift, even if I am just an unrelated person, I already feel very honored to be able to witness this scene.
However, there is still a question, and I hope you can give me some advice and clear my doubts.
Although you were born in a foreign land, you are now a member of our Lothar aristocracy, and the people of Lothar are courteous and courteous, so what do you want in return?"
As the leader of the secret envoy, in fact, he has already learned some inside information from the princess, if there is something that the princess has to keep secrets from him, Luo Ming will naturally not say it.
And what he wanted to know was what could tell him.
It seemed to him that it was clearly an unequal bargain - what Luo Min asked for, compared to what he paid, seemed to have suffered a little.
Of course, satisfying curiosity is only one aspect, and more importantly, if Luo Ming's words on the spot at this time are not the same as the answer in the letter to the princess, then this will definitely become a key piece of information for the princess's reference, and it can even become a great achievement.
