Regarding Xu Mo's sudden request, Xu Rong did not feel surprised.

There was very little intersection between the two sides, and Xu Mo also put down his body and deliberately drank with him, which must have a plan.

It's just that whether this favor can help or not, it depends on whether this favor is good or not, and whether it can help.

Xu Mo did take a hand before and helped them easily.

But this does not mean that Xu Rong has to take risks himself in order to repay this favor.

At the beginning, the position of Tian Qi and the jailer was a real benefit, and Xu Mo's help was indeed useful, but it was also an equivalent exchange.

It's just that the price is slightly higher.

"I don't know what's going on?"

Because of the improvement of Xu Rong's physical fitness, even if he drank a lot of alcohol at this time, his brain was still very sober.

It is impossible to expect him to be drunk and promise anything.

If Xu Mo wants to use this to trap him, then after he finishes his favor, he will definitely not have any more dealings with Xu Mo.

Xu Mo smiled, and his eyes seemed to reveal a little drunkenness.

"That's the case, isn't there a market in Xicheng District? I have more than a dozen shops there, but in recent months, the people who manage that area have been collecting more and more filial piety fees. ”

"There were some reluctant shops, and it didn't take long for a lot of scoundrels to come, and the business couldn't continue."

"Although I'm not afraid of any scoundrels, once I am targeted, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable, but now this filial piety fee is too much, and there is almost no profit at all."

"If this continues, where are we doing business, purely to worship these masters."

"Can you tell me about it?"

Xu Mo observed Xu Rong's expression, but saw that Xu Rong's face did not change in the slightest.

"It's not easy to do."

Xu Rong said something first, and then didn't say anything else.

Whether this is the case or not, he will know if he goes back and checks it out.

But it's worth affirming that such a thing is certainly true, but it won't be that serious.

If it really didn't make money, these merchants would have joined forces a long time ago, if it really made a big fuss, let alone a few fast catches, even Huo Mingjue, the head catcher, couldn't hold it down.

I believe that people with normal brains can't do this kind of dry and fishing.

It's nothing more than catching a quick and exploiting a little ruthlessly.

It's just that in this case, Xu Rong is really not easy to manage.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents.

As soon as he became the deputy head catcher, he cut off other people's financial routes, who else will do things for him in the future?

He is indeed extremely strong, and he is the only one in Cangqing City, but he is a person after all, and if he wants to do all kinds of things well, he must cooperate with his subordinates.

Of course, things are not so absolute.

After all, he is now a new official, and Xicheng District is also under his jurisdiction, and the people there at this time are Huo Mingjue's people, even if they are all "driven away", others can't find anything wrong.

But the question is, in the future, it will be his territory, and he will take the initiative to reduce this "filial piety fee", will it be any good for him?

Businessmen are heavy on profits, and Xu Rong takes the initiative to reduce filial piety fees, may they think that Xu Rong is good?

There is a high probability that it will not be, but it will definitely be Xu Rong's shallow foundation and easy to bully.

So this thing can be done, but it can't be so easy to agree.

Xu Mo is also an old oilman who has been working in Cangqing City, so he naturally knows that this matter is not easy.

After all, in his opinion, although Xu Rong has made great contributions and was promoted to the deputy head catcher, he is indeed shallow in his foundation, and if he directly conflicts with Huo Mingjue, he will have a hard time in the future.

The so-called official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Xu Rong still had no power.

When he came this time, he also heard that Xu Rong was promoted, and he would take care of the affairs of Xicheng District in the future.

Since the bazaar is nominally managed by Xu Rong, it is estimated that it is unlikely to reduce the "filial piety fee" of all shops, but it should be no problem to reduce him alone.

After all, even Huo Mingjue has to sell Xu Rong a face, right?

"I know this matter is a little difficult to do, Ah Rong, it is not easy for you, you and the old man still live in this kind of place, so let's do it, I still have a spare house in the east of the city, so I will live for you and the old man, and we will be closer to each other at that time, so we can usually walk around."

Xu Mo made an extraordinary move, and promised a house at once.

And it is in the rich area in the east of the city, I am afraid that this house is not simple, and the ordinary house in the inner city is estimated to be about four or five hundred taels, but the house in this area may not be three or five thousand taels.

If it is built more luxuriously, it is estimated that tens of thousands of taels are not impossible.

However, according to Xu Rong's opinion, it is estimated that a big mansion worth tens of thousands of taels of silver is impossible, and he is not worthy of Xu Mo's such a heavy investment now, let alone just solving a matter of filial piety.

This tens of thousands of taels of silver can be paid for decades, and it is not worth it.

Xu Rong glanced at the old man, who was full of red light, eating wine and food slowly, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two.

But this is obviously impossible, the old man's meaning is very clear, let Xu Rong deal with this matter by himself.

"Uncle, this matter is a bit tricky, and as you know, I've just become a deputy catcher......

Xu Rong had an embarrassed expression.

Xu Mo's heart sank, he didn't expect that he would spend a lot of money, and Xu Rong didn't even mean to agree.

But it would be a bit unwise to spend any more money.

He promised the house in Dongcheng District, which originally meant to be an investment, otherwise the house would be worth six or seven thousand taels of silver if it was sold, and if it was used to offset the filial piety fee, wouldn't it be stupid?

It's just that the next moment, Xu Rong's words changed: "However, since it's my uncle's business, it's also my business, so let's do it, uncle, you help gather all the merchants with heads and faces in the west of the city, and let's discuss this matter together, what do you think?" ”

'What a appetite! ’

Xu Mo looked at Xu Rong, who was a little childish between his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Obviously, Xu Rong is not unwilling to meddle in the matter of filial piety fees, nor does he think that he is unable to do it due to his lack of ability, but that his interests are not big enough.

In other words, you have to add money!

However, Xu Rong obviously knew that it was impossible for him to pay any more, so he asked him to gather all the merchants and charge them uniformly, and these merchants also followed Xu Rong to the same front at that time.

It can be said that he solved their problems, and solved his own problems.

Xu Rong's foundation is shallow, but with the support of these merchants, there will not be much constraint if Huo Mingjue's power in Xicheng District is pulled out.

For Xu Rong, solving a few quick catches is obviously a simple matter.

Xu Mo glanced at Xu Rong deeply, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped: "Ah Rong, don't worry, I promise that this matter will be done beautifully." ”
