[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In the early morning, a somewhat hasty autumn rain was pouring down, and on a small road outside the east city, two figures gradually disappeared in the bleak drizzle, like an endless picture.
See the dragon city Shen Mansion hanging flower hall.
Shen Feng sat in front of a small table by the window, picked up the tea that the maid had refilled, took a sip, gently put the tea cup on the table, looked at the front calmly, and said, "I won't tell you, I am also prepared on the side of the Cloud Country." However, it is up to the people to make things happen, and the people, I have already sent them out, as for the final result, heh, it depends on what he means. Since it's all like this, I'll take it all over!"
"Plans are in the people, and things are in the sky!Hehe, the city lord is talented!" Sitting opposite Shen Feng was Huang Xing, the head of the Huang family. About forty years old, with a slender figure, although he was made to cry by Shen Feng last time, but at this time, he is the head of an elegant and handsome family.
Just now, he was carried to Shen Feng by his subordinates, and the two sat opposite each other like this, and they had been chatting for half a cup of tea.
Before Shen Feng could speak, Huang Xing continued: "The ancestors of the Huang family are looking for food in the Dragon City, not to mention anything else, just from the things that Lord Shen has experienced with us since he came, Huang understands that Lord Shen is a person who can be friends. To be honest, if it were someone else, the Huang family would never dare to do this, but Huang understood that with Lord Shen's character, no matter what the outcome is, unless my Huang family does not know how to lift, otherwise, I will definitely not do anything to harm our Huang family. That's what made me finally decide. Businessmen have pursued profits, and it has been the same since ancient times, so I will send people to various places to publicize it, and at the latest in the early spring of next year, there will be some effect on the commercial side. โ
It turned out that after Shen Feng determined the heads of various departments, he sent people to the major families to inform them that the city lord wanted to chat with the family masters.
The news sent last night, early this morning, Huang Xing, the head of the Huang family, who had been working happily with Shen Feng, asked the servants to carry him to Shen Feng's Hanging Flower Hall.
The reason why Shen Feng came to them was to follow the basic principle of no agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth, and hoped that these big clans would start to take action, and while making the commercial market in Jianlong City active, it was best to bring in more talents and funds from the outside to make a large-scale commercial investment in Jianlong City, and finally build Jianlong City into a first-class business empire in the other world.
Of course, Shen Feng had already discussed with Guan Xinghe and others, and set a tax policy that was slightly higher than that of other places. And promised that as long as the other party does not violate discipline and law, in Jianlong City, not only do you not have to worry about being exploited by the authorities, but also will be respected not in other places.
Shinong Industry and Commerce, as the lowest level of businessmen, although many of them have a lot of wealth, but due to the discrimination and oppression of the whole society, they live a life of carrying silver and pretending to be grandchildren all day long. Whoever sees it wants to bully it from time to time. Therefore, although the tax is higher than other places, what Longcheng can give is the dignity and face that this group needs most.
At least from the perspective of Huang Xing and Guan Xinghe and others, it will inevitably lead to the flock of businessmen.
After drinking a cup of tea, Huang Xing said goodbye to Shen Feng happily under the umbrella of the servant.
Looking at Huang Xing's back, Shen Feng turned around and walked to another room next to him, where there were also several big clan heads drinking tea and waiting. "Lord of the Castle!"
Seeing Shen Feng coming in, Zhou Wenchao took the lead in getting up and bowing his hand.
"Lord of the Castle!"
Lin Yibai, the head of the Lin family, hurriedly stood up and gave a salute.
Seeing that several people were about to salute, Shen Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I chatted with the Huang family master just now, so you have to wait for a long time!"
Shen Feng said as he sat on the first chair and said: "The purpose of letting you come here is to think that the war is over, and next, seeing the people's livelihood in Longcheng should be put on the agenda, after all, it is about to enter winter, the rich are okay, those poor people who have no overnight food at home, there is nothing to do!" Speaking of this, Shen Feng smiled, "Of course, I can still give soup porridge for relief, however, the truth of emergency relief is not to help the poor, I think you know better than me." Therefore, how to let the poor have work every day, have an income every month, and finally spend the winter in peace and stability is the most important problem for us to see Dragon City.
In this regard, the head of the Huang family is also more righteous, he has already promised to come down, and after he goes back, he will organize people to go out to do business, and strive to solve the problem of eating at least 10,000 people for Jianlong City before the year. The Huang family is like this, presumably you will definitely not admit defeat. So, I will first meet the people in Dragon City who can't eat, thank you. โ
Shen Feng laughed while clasping his fists and saluting everyone.
Whether or not the people present admit it, but the leader salutes himself, how can he continue to sit still? So, they got up one after another and said, "It should be so!"
Everyone sat down again, and Shen Feng took out a copy of the text he had read for Huang Xing before, and said, "This is a prepared charter, you can see what's wrong." โ
Zhou Wenchao took it, and when he saw that the status of the merchant in Longcheng was the same as that of the peasant and laborer, his heart suddenly sank, and he said in his heart that Lord Shen really did not play cards according to the rules. In this way, I am afraid that the consequences will be ......
However, the old fritters for many years naturally did not reveal anything from the surface, and after reading it, he silently handed the text to Lin Yibai, the head of the Lin family next to him.
It didn't take long for the corners of Lin Yibai's mouth to twitch, obviously seeing something incomprehensible. However, with such an obvious difference, wouldn't Shen Feng or the high-level people in Dragon City see it?
Thinking of this, his head lit up, and he spoke: "Lord City, if this status matter is really done according to this, the consequences will be very serious, will it cause the disgust of other towns or empires?"
"The head of the Lin family thinks that who plays a more important role in the stability and prosperity of a city?" Shen Feng said.
"Naturally, there can be such an excellent Shangguan as Lord Shen!" Lin Yibai immediately patted his ass.
Shen Feng waved his hand, "If you are polite, we don't need to say more!" In Shen's view, although Shangguan and public order are also important, the most important thing is that there is no agricultural stability, no business, no wealth, not to mention the peasants, just see the dragon city, how much harvest can there be? If you want to make the people of the dragon city rich, you must make the goods through the north and the south and make the best use of the goods. We gave the merchants an equal, safe, and free environment, so that they could live here for a long time, bring me an extra supply of goods, and pay an extra cent of taxes. Only in this way will Jianlong City become the interests of all parties, and only then can it gradually have more room for manoeuvre in various towns.
Your families have not left in several wars, and they obviously regard Jianlong City as their foundation. Therefore, seeing that Dragon City is not the city of Shen alone, it is also the common home of all of you. When the family is rich, the pond will expand, and we, the swimming fish, will have more resources to use. Shen, please help me!"
Shen Feng lowered his posture, and his sincere tone made everyone feel a little flattered. In fact, as a human being, you basically have the need for psychological satisfaction, not to mention, now that the leader has given you such a big face, but you don't know what to say with your hands, then I am afraid you will not be able to achieve the status of the head of the family.
So, no matter what the outcome is, this is definitely the best time to show your determination and stand in line.
"What the lord of the castle said is extremely true!"
"Obey the orders of the Lord of the Castle!"
"The city lord's eyes are really like torches!"
"Swear to follow the castle lord to the death!"
......
After unifying the thoughts, the next step is to enter the pragmatic link, this process is also what Shen Feng thought about last night. What's more, it had already been done once by Huang Xing's side just now, and now that he is operating again, his proficiency has at least increased a lot.
"Master of the Zhou family, the Zhou family has been standing and seeing the dragon for so many years, presumably in addition to food, he must be good at other things, I don't know if I am willing to take more responsibility?"
"Back to the city lord, in addition to the grain business, the Zhou family also has some cloth for a living, but the scale is far less than that of the Huang family. Zhou Wenchao replied honestly.
"Hmm!" Shen Feng nodded, among them, who has been seeing Longcheng for so long, who is doing what, he has already touched the door, no matter how bad it is, isn't there Zhuang Boyu and Shentu who are natives who have seen Longcheng to ask, so everyone dare not talk nonsense in this regard.
The head of the Zhou family also knows that the current situation in Jianlong City is not very good, so next, Shen hopes that the Zhou family can use their own channels to buy grain in other places, and then sell it at a low price in Jianlong City. โ
After listening to Shen Feng's words, Zhou Wenchao was excited, and said in his heart: "What does this mean? I think my Zhou family's grain is expensive? Damn, someone must be informing." His head turned a few times, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Lord Hui, the Zhou family's business has always been based on honesty and selling at a small profit! โ
"It's not enough! It has to be reduced by another three percent, otherwise with the Zhou family's previous grain prices, it may be difficult to buy it for the people of Longcheng. But you don't have to worry, as for the difference, Shen will naturally use other methods to help you make up for it. For example, these things!"
Shen Feng said, took out two small jade bottles from his arms, and then handed them to Zhou Wenchao and Lin Yibai.
The two of them took it in their hands for some reason, opened the cap of the bottle and looked at it, and found that there was a kind of snow-white powder inside. Puzzled, "This is?"
"You two can pour a little bit and come out to taste it! Don't worry, it won't be any poison, Shen's personality hasn't been like that!" Shen Feng said with a smile.
In fact, for Zhou Wenchao and Lin Yibai, they were really startled by Shen Feng's sentence just now, pouring out some tastes. If it's really poison, your life will be explained. But since Shen Feng said so, it must not be poison anymore, right?
The two looked at each other bitterly, and there was a struggle in their hearts: "Should this thing be tasted?"
