The sky is getting brighter.

Today is the rotation of the county lord of Luanming, and the county lord does not even have a trace of hesitation, after throwing the official seal and record book to Zhou You, who is on duty, he pulls Feng Shiqi and runs to the street to go shopping and purchase, and prepares to go to the hook bar directly operated by the government office at noon.

Now it is different from the past, if you want to drink a glass of flower wine, there is no silver tael, and now the treasury of the official office does not count the public funds of the tax, and the spirit stones that can be squandered at will are more than 40,000 catties, more than 10,000 taels of gold, silver taels and countless jewels that have not been realized.

In less than a month, the government office has gone from tightening its belt to becoming rich and rich, and has recovered the right to operate the hook bar and the gambling house, and you need to apply if you want to open the hook bar and the gambling house in the flower city.

Whoever dares to set up a private gambling house, Su Yan will patronize it, and they will disappear automatically after patronizing them.

Legal and compliant operation is the right way, and illegal and non-compliant and non-payment of taxes naturally need to be banned.

"Hey! The master went to call Brother Su to come over, and there was business that needed him to receive him. ”

Zhou You's face was leisurely, his feet were on the long table of the county order, polishing the article in his hand, glancing out the door and seeing some rich old men, he turned his head to look at the spirit monkey who was squatting on the long table and studying ink.

"Squeak—"

The spirit monkey named Master replied, then turned around and ran to the backyard to summon Su Yan, who was really cultivating.

The number of spirit monkeys in the official office has increased greatly, from the five given by the aunt at the beginning to twenty-five.

Fifteen are in charge of clerk duties, staying in the study to manage the account books and tax calculations of Flower City, while three spirit monkeys are responsible for the front desk recording work, such as finding the corresponding Xia Yu law and local law when adjudicating the case, and the text record that records the judgment process.

The remaining seven are responsible for daily living, such as laundry and quilting.

"Is there anything going on early in the morning?"

Su Yan straightened his collar and walked into the back hall, looked at some fresh and familiar faces, and asked.

"Hahaha It's not a big deal, just my two friends want to invite Master Su to tea, I don't know if the master has time to move to the next door to get together for a while."

Lao Dai, who had previously let Su Yan sentence you on the street, had been released from prison after paying 300 catties of bail gold spirit stones, and after being released from prison, Lao Dai was attached to the flower official office as a broker.

There are some things that are not easy to open up, so brokers like Lao Dai need to open their mouths, tell the direction of the next strategy of the flower area, and let the brokers attract enough funds and traders to the government office.

Su Yan smiled and responded to everyone's invitation, and moved to the hook bar on the street opposite the official office, and Lao Dai directly asked the talented women inside to grind tea.

Grinding tea is today's matcha, picking the buds of spring tea to make tea powder, the brewing process is complex, is common among literati and ink writers to compete in tea-making skills.

In addition to grinding tea, there are also more common types of sencha and tea.

Lao Dai opened his mouth to order ground tea directly, in addition to being expensive, it is actually a code.

He was telling Su that these few guests in front of him belonged to the rich masters who had a lot of good things, and they could squeeze more tribute money to the official office by slowly grinding it.

Ordering sencha shows that the visitor has something to ask for, but it doesn't have to be the official office.

Brewing tea is an ordinary pull, and there are not so many things to discuss, which belongs to the pull relationship.

After the broker has passed through the master's house, the master knows how to negotiate with the visitor in front of him.

"Ahem. Su County Order, I heard Lao Dai say that our government office is planning the development of the southern Xinjiang region recently. ”

Not long after sitting in the box, one of the students directly explained his intention and wanted to ask Su Yan about the matter of coming from the Southern Xinjiang Region.

Regarding the planning of the Southern Xinjiang Region, he had actually heard about it in Lao Dai's mouth a long time ago, and even the details were very clear, and he was ready to throw a spirit stone into it, but what Lao Dai said and Su Yan personally guaranteed could not be confused.

He wanted to take a guarantee from Su Yan.

"Different from our flower plain landform, the southern Xinjiang region is mostly mountainous and forested, and the fields are mostly terraced structures, which are not very suitable for large-scale planting," Su Yan said unhurriedly.

"Then you should also hear from Lao Dai that the business we do is a one-time business, and taking advantage of the frequent wars in the southern Xinjiang region to buy the bottom in the past, it is to bet that the industrial value of the southern Xinjiang region will rise after it is included in Xia Yu."

What people are talking about, the old Dayla in front of him is obviously a merchant from the Flower District or the Red Palace.

What they want is a return that they can see, not any long-term benefits, so after judging the meaning of the customer in front of him, Su Yan did not talk about any business houses and workshops with him, but truthfully said what kind of money he could make from it.

And explain the risk of investment, and where the future profit is, whether to pay the fee for boarding the ship or not, Su Yan does not force them.

With the support of the Hua clan and the demon clan, Su Yan has now also launched an infiltration into southern Xinjiang.

When it was almost time to collect the merchants, just go to the Chiwang Mansion to make a report, anyway, Taishi Jin also agreed to his plan, first went to various parts of the southern Xinjiang region to copy a round of low-priced land, part of it was used for the layout of the sugar industry workshop in the future, and part of it was sold when the Red King announced the occupation of a stable situation, so that the later Xia Yu merchants could take over and return the funds.

If there is land suitable for large-scale planting, Su Yan will introduce it to the landlords and old wealthy, who still prefer the stable feeling of a long stream of water to a quick money.

"Feeling."

The guest looked pensive, and was a little unsure about the business things Su Yan said, so he turned his head sideways and looked at Lao Dai with a hint of embarrassment, and motioned for him to speak.

"Master Su is like this, this brother of mine and I are like-minded and like to be stable, so don't you have any good things to introduce to him? My good brother used to have his head pinned to his trousers."

Lao Dai opened his mouth with a smile on his face, as a broker who understood both sides, he shirked Su Yan's business, and as a price, he needed to pay further tribute from the government office in order to get some guarantees from Su Yan.

"Stable businesses naturally exist, but those businesses need a large backlog of cash, and not all commercial houses can afford to hold down such a large amount of cash."

Su Yan smiled lightly, and was about to brag about the good things of long-term investment.

But a demonic wind outside the window, as well as the blue sky and the sudden darkening of the sky, interrupted Su Yan's speech, making him can't help but turn around, surging into the city's demonic energy and coercion.

Su Yan directly stopped his speech, ran to the windowsill and poked his head out to look at the scenery outside.

A dark and cyan cloud of demonic energy was drifting from the direction of the Southern Xinjiang Region to the Flower District, heading north.

The appearance of the cloud of demonic energy will only appear when a group of demons gather. In that dark cloud, there are more than one or two hundred demon clans.

And the premise of the appearance of the demon cloud is that there is also a powerful demon beast that leads the group of demons to swim quickly to make the other little demons excited, and it is difficult to let the demon power leak around them to form a demon cloud.
