Text Chapter 160 Big Move
"What, it's time to relieve your anger after talking about it for a long time, right?" In the living room, Feng Yi casually picked up the tea on the table in front of him and took a sip.
Just now, Li Mu "poured" the bitter water that had been holding in his stomach for the past few days towards Feng Wei. From complaining about the hard work of handling government affairs to reprimanding the rebels for being irresponsible, from the end to the end, he talked about nearly a stick of incense. And during this time, Feng Yi didn't interrupt him, let alone refute a word, just looked at him quietly until he finished speaking.
"I said, I said so much just now, did you listen to it?" Seeing Feng Rebellious's indifferent and light-hearted appearance, Li Mu frowned very dissatisfied.
"Of course, I listened to everything!" Feng Wei nodded matter-of-factly.
"Really?"
Li Muhu glanced at him suspiciously, and then said: "Since this is the case, then it should be done by you, the city lord, in the future, you have to take responsibility, don't think about pushing it to me again." β
"Let's talk about it later!" Feng Yi took a sip of tea casually, and then changed the topic: "I heard you complain for so long just now, now it's time to talk about business, I think you have a deep understanding of the situation in Xiao Cheng in the past few days, pick a few key points to talk about." β
"Isn't what I just said serious?"
Hearing this, Li Mudeng had an urge to vomit blood, and he had just said so much, and he was all listened to as nonsense. However, he really couldn't do anything about the uncle in front of him, so he had to sigh depressedly: "I really convinced you!"
"Hehe!" Feng Wei smiled faintly.
"Forget it, I'll talk about the situation in Xiao Cheng!" Li Mu glanced at him helplessly, and said, "I think you must not be interested in listening to those miscellaneous political affairs, so I will tell you about the information related to Qingyun Sect." β
Hearing the three words "Qingyun Sect", the smile on Feng Yi's face instantly dispersed: "You say it carefully!"
"Hmm!" Li Mu nodded and said in a deep voice: "As we understood before, the entire Xiao City can basically be said to be the world of the Qingyun Sect, not to mention some small aspects, among them, the most serious manifestation is that the Qingyun Sect controls Xiao Cheng's finances. β
"Finance?" Feng Yi frowned: "Didn't you say that Qingyun Sect didn't directly interfere in Xiao Cheng's political affairs?
"It's true that they didn't interfere in Xiao Cheng's political affairs, but ......," Li Mu said slowly: " They control all the merchants in Xiaocheng, because if any shop wants to take root in Xiaocheng, the first condition must be the consent of Qingyun Sect, and now, thousands of shops in Xiaocheng can be said to be the first to be the head of Qingyun Sect, and the taxes of all shops are also handed over to Qingyun Sect first, and then handed over to the city lord's mansion by Qingyun Sect, the most important thing is that the proportion of this tax is actually determined by Qingyun Sect, the main financial source of our Xiaocheng is the tax of these shops, and if you master the shops, you can influence the tax ratio, you say, this is not equivalent to controlling Xiao Cheng's financesοΌβ
"Hmph, even the power to decide the tax ratio has been handed over, that Gao Zhen is really damned!" Feng Wei snorted coldly, his face showing a cold light.
"Gao Zhen is damned, and he has died at your hands, but the problem we are facing now is how to take back this financial power, otherwise, if we can't even control the financial power, then we will be too passive. Li Mudao.
"It's not simple, just take it back!" Feng said coldly.
"Brother Feng, you can't help but think too simply. Li Mu shook his head: "With the strength of the Qingyun Sect, how can it be so easy to hand over the financial power? Besides, all the merchants in Xiao City are in the hands of the Qingyun Sect, if we force ourselves to come, it will be tantamount to going against the merchants in the whole city, once the matter is big, at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to end." β
"I think you're thinking too much. Feng Wei glanced at him disappreciatively: "This financial power should have belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, what qualifications does he have in the Qingyun Sect to control it? If those merchants dare to make trouble, they will all be arrested, I want to see how the Qingyun Sect responds?"
"It's not proper, this method is too radical, besides, this Qingyun Sect is powerful, we shouldn't just hit it like this......
"What's the matter, are you scared?" Feng raised the corners of his eyebrows.
"Brother Feng, where are you talking about this?" Li Mu frowned and said, "I'm not afraid, I just think that we should think about this matter slowly, not overnight." β
"Xu Xu Tuzhi, when will it be? As the so-called, fierce medicine to get rid of scabies, heavy canons to control chaos, extraordinary measures should be used in extraordinary times, and, don't forget, don't forget ......" Speaking of this, Feng Yi suddenly stood up and said coldly: "You and I are the city lord and long history of Xiao Cheng, this Xiao Cheng should be the world of you and me, on the couch, how can you allow others to snore?" If you don't even have such a little courage, how can you achieve great things in the future?"
"That's true, but ......"
"No, but. Feng Wei waved his hand suddenly, stared at Li Mu tightly, and paused word by word: "I only ask you one sentence, do you dare?"
"I ......"
"Do you dare?"
"Dare!"
In the face of the pressure of the rebellion, Li Mu finally inspired the pride in his heart, and said loudly: "Since you, the city lord, dare to do so, why should I not dare?"
"Good!"
Hearing this, the corners of Feng Zhi's mouth curled slightly, and then he shouted at the door: "Someone!"
"What do you have to say?" the leader of the guards, who had been waiting outside the living room, entered.
"Pass my order, within three days, all shops in Xiaocheng must come to the city lord's mansion to re-report the records, and those who fail to arrive within the time limit will be dealt with as black merchants, and the shops will be sealed and expelled from the city. Feng Wei said coldly.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will go and spread the word. "The leader of the guard bowed down and took the command,
"That's right!" After the head of the guards left, Feng turned his head and asked Li Mu, "Does this Lingyun Chamber of Commerce have any records of paying taxes?"
"I've checked, the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce has never had a record of paying taxes to the City Lord's Mansion since its establishment. Li Mu shook his head and said.
"Very good!" Feng Rui's eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared in the corner of his eyes.
......
The efficiency of the head of the guards was very high, and in less than half a day, the news that all the merchants in the city had to go back to the City Lord's Mansion to report their records within three days spread throughout Xiao City.
Not surprisingly, as soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar, but anyone with a little brain could think that this move of the City Lord's Mansion was obviously aimed at Qingyun Sect. If it was the former city lord Gao Zhen who issued this order, then most of the merchants would just take it as a joke and laugh it off, because Gao Zhen didn't have the courage to go against the Qingyun Sect at all. However, this order was ordered by the new city lord, and that was different.
Since the news of this year's "World Martial Arts" spread, the name of the rebellious young generation of kings has already spread all over the streets and alleys, and as soon as he took office, he killed the former city lord Gao Zhen, and the methods were so ruthless that people did not dare to underestimate the young city lord's thoughts. In addition, there are rumors that the relationship between Feng Yi and Qingyun Sect is not harmonious, and it is on the same footing, so this move by the City Lord's Mansion must be targeted.
For a while, all the merchants in Xiao Cheng did not dare to slack off, and they all went to the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce in person or sent people to find out.
For a long time, all the merchants in Xiao City have been the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce under the Qingyun Sect, and now that this kind of thing has happened, it is natural to find the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce to solve it. And the person in charge of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce was domineering enough, and directly released a word to these merchants, ignoring it, everything was as usual.
As soon as these words came out, the merchants finally put their minds at ease. The attitude of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce represents the attitude of the Qingyun Sect, no matter how strong this new young city lord is, can he still be stronger than the Qingyun Sect? Not to mention a city lord, the entire Great Qin Imperial Court has to give three points to the Qingyun Sect. They were worried before because they didn't know what Qingyun Sect's attitude was towards this matter, but now, since the person in charge of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce had already expressed his position, they were naturally relieved.
So, with the words of the person in charge of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, a storm that had just taken shape in the business community of Xiaocheng had not had time to set off too big a wave, so it dissipated silently and hastily. Even, there are quite a few people who are already waiting to see the jokes of the new city lord in three days. Within three days, all merchants must go to the City Lord's Mansion to re-rank and report, which is the original words of the rebellion, but if not even a single merchant goes to the City Lord's Mansion after three days, then the new young city lord will be embarrassed.
......
Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, Conference Room.
"Elder Du, what do you think about this matter?" In the large conference room, a middle-aged man dressed in Qingyun Sect costume asked respectfully to the white-bearded old man sitting at the top.
The middle-aged man named Li Qi is the head of internal affairs of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, responsible for managing the internal affairs of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, and his power is second only to the head of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce. And the old man sitting at the top was Peng Yi, the head of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce and one of the outer sect elders of the Qingyun Sect. As the head of the Qingyun Sect stationed in the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, Peng Yi naturally had some ability, not to mention anything else, his own martial arts cultivation alone had reached the peak of the innate sixfold.
Compared with Feng Yi and Liang Yu, the elder of the inner gate of the Qingyun Sect that Feng Wei had killed, Peng Yi's strength was of course nothing and not worth mentioning, but in the entire Shannan County, aside from those masters within the Qingyun Sect, the cultivation of the innate sixfold peak was enough to claim the king's hegemony. Even if he rebelled against the top boss he had never met, the most powerful Shannan County Shouhou Guoguang in Shannan County was nothing more than that.
In addition to Peng Yi and Li Qi, there were several middle-aged men in the conference room who were also dressed in Qingyun Sect costumes, and these people were the core managers of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce. At this time, the issue they discussed was about the new city lord Feng Rebellion not long ago, and the merchants of Xiao City were ordered to go to the city lord again to register and report......
