Calling the shopkeeper of Zhou, who opened the restaurant, to the front, Shen Lingxi asked people to come over with 200,000 taels of silver, and in front of everyone's surprised eyes, several soldiers carried the box to the shopkeeper Zhou.

In order to achieve visual impact, Shen Lingxi did not use a silver ticket, but directly took a large box, which was neatly stacked with silver ingots with white flowers.

The box containing the silver was opened, displayed in front of everyone, and then placed in front of the shopkeeper Zhou.

"This, this...... Isn't the young general too polite, these 200,000 taels of silver can buy my entire restaurant, this is too much, I really don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it!"

Shopkeeper Zhou was dazzled by this box of silver, not to mention that he received 200,000 taels of silver from the young general for no reason, and he couldn't sleep well, so Shopkeeper Zhou tried his best to refuse.

Shen Lingxi was so frightened that his feet trembled when he saw this shopkeeper Zhou, and he also felt a little funny, how could he give this guy silver, it scared him more than asking him for silver!

"Shopkeeper Zhou, don't postpone, it's not enough to buy your restaurant with these 200,000 taels, but it should be more than enough to buy half of it, so this money is used to buy half of the shares of your business. In the future, Shopkeeper Zhou is the business partner of the General's Mansion, and the 200,000 taels of silver are given to the Shopkeeper Zhou, and the Shopkeeper Zhou wants to use the silver to expand the scale of the business as soon as possible, or renovate the restaurant, in short, with this money, the Shopkeeper Zhou must find a way to do a better business! Of course, at the end of each month, we will take away half of the profits of the General's Mansion according to the profit of the restaurant this month, and this Shopkeeper Zhou has no opinion, right?"

Hearing Shen Lingxi say this, the shopkeeper finally understood what the 200,000 taels of silver meant to him.

It can be said that there is no problem in buying his restaurant property for 200,000 taels, but the restaurant is not only a real estate, but also the old customers and the restaurant's signboard reputation and so on.

Therefore, Shen Lingxi bought half of the shares of the shopkeeper restaurant next week at this price, which seems to be relatively fair.

So Shopkeeper Zhou began to quickly calculate in his heart, giving half of the profits to the General's Mansion every month, which is actually nothing, because with the protection of the General's Mansion, no one will dare to come to eat the overlord's meal again, and Xiao Daocheng, the former county guard, will not have this kind of eating and taking again, so thinking about it, in fact, it is very cost-effective to give half of the profits to the General's Mansion.

Thinking of these various benefits, coupled with the 200,000 taels of white silver, Shopkeeper Zhou only thought for a moment, and then accepted Shen Lingxi's kindness very happily.

"The young general is really my Zhou's reborn parents, I accepted the 200,000 taels of silver, and in the future, my restaurant will be the general's industry, and the profits of the restaurant will be sent to the general's mansion on time every month. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, thank you so much......"

After the shopkeeper Zhou signed a shareholding contract, he happily ordered someone to load his 200,000 taels of silver into a carriage and pull him back to the restaurant.

In fact, the last time Shen Lingxi had dinner in this restaurant, the shopkeeper Zhou gave Shen Lingxi 50,000 taels of silver, hoping that Shen Lingxi could occasionally come to the restaurant, which would be equivalent to sheltering his business in disguise, so as not to let people often come to eat overlord meals and even eat with them.

It's better now, not only do you not need to give the silver for nothing, but you can also take the general's silver, and you can get the protection of the general's mansion, this kind of good thing is not willing to be a fool.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou happily left with 200,000 taels of silver, the other wealthy businessmen present couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the general.

Of course, how much silver was given to account for half of their business, the rich businessmen did not dare to take the initiative to open their mouths, and only hoped that the silver given by the General's Mansion would not be too small, otherwise the rich businessmen would still have some pain if the loss was too great.

However, Shen Lingxi had already asked people to investigate the business scale of the various wealthy businessmen invited today, and on the premise of trying not to let them suffer losses, he voluntarily used silver to add half of the shares in their business.

Soon, every rich businessman who was called by name came to Shen Lingxi, and Shen Lingxi asked them to sign the agreement to transfer half of the business shares one by one according to the list he asked people to investigate.

Every wealthy merchant who signed happily left with a different amount of silver, so restaurants, teahouses, cloth shops, pharmacies and other industries were all taken into Shen Lingxi's pocket.

Some of the wealthy merchants who did a lot of business were holding millions of taels of silver, and some other small merchants were envious.

So after a busy day, Shen Lingxi was so tired that his back hurt, and he finally sent away all this large group of wealthy businessmen, and the contracts that signed the shareholding agreement were packed in a whole big box.

Of course, these so-called contracts will be written by Shen Lingxi himself according to the format of his previous life, for these well-organized contracts, these rich businessmen feel very novel, but after reading them, they all feel very good, because all the rights and obligations are written very clearly in the contract, which makes these businessmen who have some concerns feel a lot of relief.

However, the income from Xiao Yuanqi's house, as well as the gifts given by others some time ago, added up to 30 million taels of silver, and in just one day, it was all used up quickly.

However, Shen Lingxi felt that the money was originally taken from the people of Donghua County, and now the money was invested in the people's livelihood again, which can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people.

Among the wealthy merchants, Shen Lingxi unexpectedly found Elder Zhang Tiande, who was also dressed as a wealthy merchant today, mixing with those merchants.

Shen Lingxi was a little surprised at first, after all, the people who came here today were all invited by her in advance, but then Shen Lingxi was relieved, Fengguo's secret guard is powerful, and it is not easy to get one or two invitations.

Moreover, Shen Lingxi originally planned to use the excuse of issuing silver this time to give some secret guards to Feng Guo as their activity funds.

So Shen Lingxi naturally signed a shareholding contract with the medicinal herb pill wholesaler dressed up by Elder Zhang Tiande, and boldly gave three million taels of silver to Elder Zhang Tiande.

In fact, three million taels of silver is considered a medium level in this group of wealthy businessmen, one of whom basically monopolizes the grain and silk of Donghua County, Shen Lingxi directly gave eight million taels of silver into shares.

Therefore, Elder Zhang Tiande's three million taels were not particularly conspicuous.

Elder Zhang Tiande also seemed to be quite satisfied with the three million taels of silver that he directly received as activity funds, plus the consumption of the Dan Pharmacy where Zhang Xueqin was last time, this time the Fengguo Secret Guard directly received more than five million taels of activity funds from Shen Lingxi, which greatly alleviated the lack of funds for the Fengguo Secret Guard's activities in Donghua County.

In the following days, Donghua County became extraordinarily prosperous and busy, not only more merchants came and went, but also the prices of necessities, such as grain, cloth, salt, etc., have all dropped a lot.

Shen Lingxi walked on the street, feeling that the soldiers of the Xuanwu Kingdom had restrained a lot, and basically didn't see the soldiers on the street bullying ordinary people or businessmen.

Soon, Donghua County's tax revenue has undergone a huge change, and the tax revenue, which was originally declining every month, suddenly stopped the downward trend after Shen Lingxi invested in these businesses, but increased a lot compared with last month.

For this immediate performance, Pingbei General Tuoba Jun said that he was very satisfied with Shen Lingxi's method, after all, taxation is the fundamental guarantee to feed the army.

With the gradual prosperity of all walks of life in Donghua County, new opportunities appeared in front of Shen Lingxi.

On this day, Shen Lingxi rested in the General's Mansion, during this time she often went to attend the banquets of some wealthy businessmen, and there were also banquets of promoted officials who wanted to run for office, in short, Shen Lingxi was the second most powerful person in Donghua County, I don't know how many people wanted to tie up every day, and today I finally took a break, a businessman from Xuanwu Kingdom who came to Donghua County to do business asked Shen Lingxi to see him.

"Young master, a merchant outside the door asks to see him, this person is a famous ore merchant in Xuanwu Country, mainly selling some rare ores for refining magic weapons, don't you want to see this young master?"

Wangcai accepted the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver from the ore merchant, so he came in and reported to Shen Lingxi.

Wangcai also knew that Shen Lingxi was busy entertaining every day, and only today there was no one to feast, so it was rare to take a break in the general's mansion, but he didn't expect that someone still heard that Shen Lingxi was resting in the mansion, so he came to the door to ask for a summons.

"What businessman, you say?"

Shen Lingxi was thinking about things while drinking tea, mainly thinking about the task given by Elder Zhang Tiande, when he suddenly heard Wangcai say what ore, so he came back to his senses from his thoughts, but he didn't hear Wangcai's words clearly, so he asked again.

Wangcai thought that the young master was angry, so he repeated tremblingly: "Well, there is a merchant selling rare ores outside the door who asks to see, I heard that this businessman surnamed Liu is quite famous in Xuanwu, and may have dealings with many dignitaries, so he came to the door rashly this time." ”

"Ore merchant, is it a merchant of basalt ore?"

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that someone would come to deliver a pillow if he wanted to doze off, this getting Xuanwu ore was one of the tasks of the Fengguo Secret Guard, and this time this Xuanwu ore merchant came to the door Didn't he have a chance to get Xuanwu ore.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi was a little surprised, and confirmed again with some excitement.

Wangcai saw that the young master came to the spirit at once, and he also knew that most of the ore merchants had something that the young master was interested in, so he quickly nodded and said: "Yes, it is a merchant of basalt ore, I heard that he also sells other types of ore, in short, it is a big businessman." ”

"Well, I see! ”

Shen Lingxi suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to pretend to be calm.

Soon Wangcai brought in the merchant surnamed Liu, who sold rare ores.

"Be careful when you see us, you'd better be respectful, or I won't be able to speak for you later." ”

"Thank you so much for the introduction of Brother Wangcai, there is still a hundred taels of silver here, please Brother Wangcai smile. ”

When he was about to enter the side hall where Shen Lingxi was, Wangcai kindly reminded this businessman from the Xuanwu Kingdom, for fear that he would not be respectful enough to Shen Lingxi because he was a famous businessman in the Xuanwu Kingdom, and if Shen Lingxi was not pleasing to the eye, it would be difficult for the businessman in Donghua County to move an inch.

Knowing that Wangcai was also a good intention, the merchant deliberately wooed Wangcai and gave Wangcai a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver.

Wangcai sent the merchant to the door of the side hall, and then happily waited outside.

The businessman surnamed Liu stepped into the side hall and hurriedly saluted Shen Lingxi on the main seat.

"Liu Yonghe, who is in the Xiayonghe Chamber of Commerce, met the major general, the major general is really heroic and extraordinary, dignified in appearance, and a ...... talent"

"Alright, alright......"

The businessman Liu Yonghe, as soon as he saw Shen Lingxi, he praised violently, and he was really a lot of fleshy and numb.

Shen Lingxi heard half of it, and saw that this businessman was still racking his brains to praise himself, so he couldn't stand it and hurriedly interrupted.

The businessman Liu Yonghe also felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly stopped, but the adoring eyes still pretended to be decent.

Shen Lingxi thinks that this Liu Yonghe is really interesting, no wonder he can be mixed in the Xuanwu Kingdom, it seems that people still have some real skills.

However, Shen Lingxi wanted to come to this businessman to take the initiative to come to the door, he must have something to ask for himself, although now Shen Lingxi wanted the Xuanwu ore in his hand very much, but since he was now a superior person, there was no reason to take the initiative to speak, so he said in a cold tone.

"Oh, your name is Liu Yonghe, and the Yonghe Chamber of Commerce, but Young Master Ben really hasn't heard of this Chamber of Commerce, so you don't have to take out this Chamber of Commerce to scare me, let's say, what's the matter with coming to see Young Master Ben today?"

Shen Lingxi deliberately spoke very indifferently, just to snub this guy from the Xuanwu Kingdom.

That Liu Yonghe was a little unhappy when he heard Shen Lingxi's tone, and he also knew that he had just miscalculated the name of the Yonghe Chamber of Commerce, so he hurriedly explained.

"Haha, it's normal that the major general hasn't heard of the Yonghe Chamber of Commerce. After all, this is Donghua County, and our chamber of commerce has not yet developed its business here. Hehe, this time it means that I want the major general to also join the shares of our Chamber of Commerce. In this way, our Chamber of Commerce can be the same as other industries in Donghua County, I wonder if the Major General is interested?"

Liu Yonghe directly told Shen Lingxi about his intentions, of course, he deliberately didn't say the good conditions, just to see if Shen Lingxi was interested.

Shen Lingxi heard that this guy wanted to invest in his business, of course, he was very happy, but he was not shocked on his face.

"The business of your Chamber of Commerce wants Young Master Ben to become a shareholder? But what do you do, I haven't asked people to investigate this yet, so you can buy shares, but you still have to investigate how to buy shares. You can't say how much you give, Young Master Ben will give as much as you want, I'm not wronged...... Hmph!"

Shen Lingxi deliberately showed a very dissatisfied expression, pretending that he was not interested in the business of this ore.
