Chapter XXXVIII
Lin Fengjin groaned for a moment, and couldn't help but muttered again:
"In fact, there are two things that must also be known to His Majesty, that is, when the Tang Dynasty attacked Hecang......."
Lin Fengjin also told the matter of Captain Shan and Qu Shuai at this time, and he was also helpless:
"At that time, my Lin family was selling grain in Hecang, and I definitely didn't mean to do anything with Datang, they also wanted to kill me, and I was forced to kill them, and this is the case, please punish the saint. ”
To tell the truth, it is certainly impossible for a person like Li Jian to have no impression of Shan Yong, and Qu Shuai still has some impressions, but under his command, fierce generals are like clouds, according to modern terms, Qu Shuai is probably just a retired head of the regiment, and Lin Fengjin is a high-end internal and financial compound talent that is rare to see in fifty years. So I waved my hand impatiently:
"I still know about the Hecang, this time you privately confiscated all the silver taels and shops that were greedy for ink, and then used them to distribute them to Captain Shan and Qu Shuai's family!
Lin Fengjin suddenly panicked and said:
"Obey. ”
In fact, Lin Fengjin doesn't know much about Li Jian, just take the role that Lin Fengjin played in this disaster relief process, even if he is greedy for one million taels of ink, Li Jian will turn a blind eye, and even if he is greedy for two million, he will definitely arrest him and scold him, but it is just a scolding.
Because Lin Fengjin was greedy for one million taels of silver, his own mission was done, and even the "wild words" that boasted that he wanted to take two million silver back were also achieved.
The bottom line in Li Jian's heart is that Lin Fengjin can do a good job of disaster relief without spending the court's money, then it is quite good, and the rest of the things can be tolerated as long as they do not exceed this bottom line.
In fact, for a king, it is not wrong for his courtiers to be greedy for money, power, lust or anything. As long as your advantages outweigh your disadvantages, if there is a courtier who does not love money or sex, but only knows how to seize power, and is still super capable, I am afraid that it will be the turn of this king who can't sleep, and thinks about how to find a crime and kill him fiercely
Lin Fengjin then said to Li Jian:
"There is one thing that must be made clear to the saint, there is still a piece of land in the Jingshi, although this land is smaller than the previous Wanshou Square, but if it is according to Weichen's thinking. It is likely that the income will exceed that of Wanshou Plaza. However, this money is a long stream, and in the minister's plan, the most profitable profit is to be used as the resettlement cost of the more than 10,000 refugees, until they have food and clothing, then what is earned is the pure profit. ”
"Oh?" Li Jianqi said, "Why can you get more silver for the small ones?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Because of the example of Wanshou Plaza, the rich and noble families in Xijing should have more confidence in me, so when the time comes, there should still be a great advantage in absorbing funds, and Wanshou Plaza's main target group is the people. And this smaller piece of land I plan to transform into a more high-end place, and the consumer objects should be those who have a certain amount of money to spend, so the return on income is certain. ”
Li Jian said with interest:
"Tell me about it. ”
Lin Feng said respectfully:
The idea of the minister is that the land is still built in the style of a garden, and the buildings are staggered. However, it is not free and open, and those who enter must pay a certain fee, considering that many people do not have the opportunity to experience the exotic atmosphere in their lifetime. So the minister's plan is. In this piece of land, make some of the surrounding Siyi style out. ”
"For example, in the Toei Pavilion, it is all in the style of the Japanese people. Daily food is the mainstay, with some strange and obscene things, for example, the grassland pavilion, which is based on the style of herdsmen's life, and for example, the big food restaurant, which is based on the local desert style, and the main flavors are all fresh things that have never been in Xijing, of course, the price of entering and enjoying is bound to be expensive. ”
"It's just that in this case, it will take a little longer to spend time on construction and decoration, but the minister can entrust a lot of chores to Lu in the middle of the way, and come back after the exam, well, at the same time, he has to ask the saint for 500,000 taels of silver. ”
"What are you doing with 500,000 taels of silver?" Li Jian said unexpectedly.
Lin Feng said confidently:
"My mother has always wanted to see the magnificent scenery of Xijing, and I have to buy a house for 500,000 taels of silver for her old age. ”
Li Jian immediately roared angrily:
"Do you need 500,000 taels of silver to buy a mansion? Do you think I am a faint monarch who has been blinded in the deep palace? Of course, you don't need to bother about the affairs of the house, and when you bring your family over, I will naturally ask the household department to solve it for you, if you want money, I am sleepy, hurry up and get out, don't come out in front of me again." ”
Li Jian said to get out of here, but in fact, he was quite satisfied with Lin Feng's initiative to send the hostages, and loyalty is not only to be verbal, but also to show it with facts.
After going back, Lin Feng carefully examined himself, but found that the palace and his party had opened the tooth pass and door gate in the Seven Chong Gate, and the increase in his own strength was not obvious, but his teeth had also changed significantly. The function of teeth was originally to chop and grind food, but now in the process of chewing and biting, it has added a very powerful absorption function.
When Lin Fengjin usually eats, for example, some foods that are easy to chew don't even need to be swallowed, and they are chewed directly in the mouth once, and the nutrients in them have been absorbed by the teeth, just like eating sugar cane, sucking off the juice and then spitting it out, it is already useless dregs, and it can be said that the efficiency of eating is ten times more than a hundred times greater than before. In addition, the strength of the occlusal muscles near the teeth has also been amazingly enhanced.
In the following period of time, Lin Fengjin mainly stayed with skilled craftsmen, mainly discussing the plan of building an exotic style, such as the Japanese style, nothing more than wooden paper doors, tatami mats, and kaiseki baths and so on. Of course, because Japanese culture is fundamentally a mutation route of Han and Tang cultures, it may be much easier for people to accept it.
However, Arabic style, halal style, Thai style, it will inevitably seem more difficult to get it, how to make the distinguished guests feel the difference of exotic customs, and can make them spend a comfortable and comfortable leisure time, this is one thing that needs to be strived to achieve.
After the end of the year, after the Lantern Festival, Lin Fengjin officially named the second phase of the project, called Zesheng Club. What is such a strange name? But it is also the product of Lin Fengjin's sycophancy, which means that the monarch Li Jianze was born by the common people.
Lin Fengjin can always quietly compliment the superior in these casual places, but he has long known that being a man must be better than being able to do things, of course, if you can do things and be a man, then it is no better, and you are bound to be invincible in the competition with others.
Needless to say, although the foundation of the second phase of the project has not even been excavated, it has already attracted the attention of a large number of people, and many people have even begun to ask what the purpose of this place is.
Soon, Lin Fengjin also nailed it to the gate with a sign, saying that it was to build a leisure place with exotic characteristics, so that people could enjoy the charming exotic customs without leaving Beijing.
At this time, the longevity square built by Lin Fengjin has already been officially opened to the public a year ago, and it has directly replaced the two cities in the east and west, becoming the most lively place.
Normally, the purchase of a shop, the return cycle is at least between ten and twenty years, but, according to the estimation of discerning people, the purchase of a shop in Wanshou Plaza, the return cycle only takes about three years, which is really jaw-dropping.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that it is natural that the second phase of the Zesheng Club that Lin Fengjin has come up with is popular, and the people who have made money in Wanshou Plaza before must be full of confidence in Lin Fengjin, and as long as there is money left, they will take it out.
And those who failed to keep up with the first phase of the project were already anxious as if they were scratching their claws in their hearts - they had missed a good opportunity to make a fortune, and if they missed it for the second time, then they would not give up.
However, Lin Fengjin put forward a surprising clause, that is, only rent, not sell. And because the main thing here is exotic, specially for officials, rich and other high-end, high-consumption areas, this project without him to take charge, basically there is a huge drawback of painting tigers and not anti-dogs, so the emphasis must be high, and there are not many shops that can be taken out for rent.
The construction of this Zesheng club has lasted for nearly three or four months, during which it has been improving according to Lin Fengjin's opinions, and when he hurriedly ran back to take the test Xiucai and returned, he carefully adjusted for two months before it was basically complete, and even the news of Zhongxiucai was transmitted back by his subordinates.
However, Lin Fengjin was also afraid that the steps would be too big to pull the egg, so he was also very cautious to put the focus of the first phase of the project on the opening and improvement of the Dongying Pavilion, which has been dragging on and refusing to open, and this place has long released the word, saying that the entrance fee is ten taels of silver, although such a threshold will scare away a group of people, but it will make those who are really rich and enjoy it more and more unbearable.
