Chapter 84: Revitalizing Commerce

Tuoba Jun agreed very much with Shen Lingxi's method, and felt that in fact, this righteous son Yuwenlong still had the talent to manage government affairs, so he smiled with relief: "Great, I didn't expect my son to have the talent to manage these trivial government affairs, it seems that it is indeed a good idea to hand over these 20 million taels to my son to take care of." ”

For Tuoba Jun, how to solve the problem of insufficient military spending is indeed a difficult problem, Tuoba Jun's solution is generally to use war to support the war, directly use violence, either rob when attacking the city, or see which big household directly raids the house.

Therefore, there is a big reason why Xiao Yuanqi's house was raided is because he was targeted by Tuoba Jun, and Shen Lingxi went to find trouble with Xiao Yuanqi, which may just be an excuse for Xiao Yuanqi to raid his house.

Shen Lingxi saw that Tuoba Jun had agreed with his idea, so he was very happy to pour wine for Tuoba Jun, which made Tuoba Jun feel good.

In fact, although 20 million taels of silver seems to be a lot, it is just a drop in the bucket for the current Tuoba Jun, so if you can really get a steady stream of taxes or business profit commissions, it will be very helpful for Tuoba Jun to solve the problem of military spending.

Tuoba Jun felt that Shen Lingxi was very talented in governing the county, so he simply asked Shen Lingxi to give it a try, anyway, it was 20 million taels of silver, and this was also copied from the family, so it was a big deal to continue to copy a big family.

With such an idea, Tuoba Jun let Shen Lingxi manage the business of Donghua County, hoping that Shen Lingxi could surprise him.

Shen Lingxi is unwilling to become the military expenditure of the Xuanwu Army, so it can be delayed for a day, and it is not an overnight matter to deal with the tax problem of the entire Donghua County, only to try his best to buy time for the Feng Kingdom, this can be regarded as some of the contributions that Shen Lingxi can make undercover by Tuoba Jun's side.

kept pouring wine for Tuoba Jun, and Tuoba Jun was also a little happy today, so the comer did not refuse, and soon became a little drunk.

Shen Lingxi saw that Tuoba Jun was drunk, so he proposed that the right of the county guard should be exercised by himself for the time being, and who would serve as the county guard in the future should also be chosen by himself.

Tuoba Jun was drunk and understood, knowing that Shen Lingxi needed some rights to be able to act better, so he agreed to all of Shen Lingxi's requests without saying a word.

Shen Lingxi was very happy now, she planned to temporarily exercise the right of the county guard by herself, and then when everything was arranged, she would sell her official position directly, so that she might be able to make a lot of money again.

The maid sent Tuoba Jun, who had drunk a little too much, back to the room to rest, and Shen Lingxi was able to leave the dining room and return to his room.

Shen Lingxi, who returned to the room, was thinking about how to gather all the rich businessmen and giants in Donghua County, and then give them some money, and then coerce and lure them to take a certain share of their business, so that Donghua County could not only become prosperous again, let the people of Donghua County live a better life, but also delay the time for Xuanwu Kingdom to attack Feng Kingdom, it was simply a genius idea, killing two birds with one stone.

In the next few days, the property of the county guard was escorted to the general's mansion in batches, and after counting, the value of the property escorted back was 23 million, and the entire county guard mansion was basically emptied.

Xiao Yuanqi was imprisoned on charges of colluding with the secret guards of the Feng Kingdom to rebel, and the outcome was already doomed. The old and weak women and children of the Xiao family will be escorted back to Xuanwu Kingdom, some will become official slaves, and some will be used as coolies, in short, the end will be miserable.

Shen Lingxi still felt that Xiao Yuanqi's ending was deserved, after all, it was normal for a guy who betrayed Feng Guo to be abandoned by his new master, and I hope this incident can wake up some officials of Feng Guo who want to surrender to Xuanwu State.

The county warden's office has been vacant, and the county warden's official position has become vacant.

Hearing that General Tuoba had handed over the right to select the new county guard to the major general, the officialdom of Donghua County was all shocked, and it can be seen from the recent actions of the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun that the major general has become the second most powerful person in Donghua County.

Judging from the deliberate support of the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei, the major general Yu Wenlong has been cultivated as the son of the general's mansion.

So the officials and wealthy businessmen who saw the way came to the door one after another to meet the young general Yu Wenlong, those who gave gifts, those who ran for officials, and those who sought refuge, all broke Shen Lingxi's threshold.

Shen Lingxi also does not refuse to come, accepts gifts when he gives them, agrees to seek asylum, and then asks for some dry shares, as long as he is not a particularly important official, Shen Lingxi will sell some insignificant petty officials at a clear price.

Shen Lingxi, who originally wanted to spend the silver recently, instead earned millions of taels in his account.

Now Shen Lingxi has 30 million taels of silver in his hand, in order to prevent Tuoba Jun from changing his mind to fight these silvers, Shen Lingxi sent people to touch all the rich businessmen and giants in Donghua County, and sent them all invitations, and chose a day to gather these people.

Shen Lingxi planned to give them silver, but at least half of the shares in their various businesses.

As for the amount of silver, of course, it depends on the size of the business of these merchants.

It's just that the rich businessmen and tycoons who don't know what, after receiving the invitation from the major general Yu Wenlong, were so frightened that they couldn't sleep, after all, the county guard's mansion had just been raided, and they were also afraid of becoming the target of the major general's next raid, so they thought that this time it was the Hongmen banquet that was going to bleed.

So after receiving Shen Lingxi's invitation, the rich businessmen in the entire Donghua County were all miserable, and they felt that someone was going to be unlucky.

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that it was originally a grand event for the distribution of silver, but it was thought of by these wealthy businessmen as a collection meeting.

In fact, these rich businessmen are right, although 30 million taels of silver is too much, but it is too little to put in the entire Donghua County, Shen Lingxi wants to buy half of the shares of the entire Donghua County business, which is more ruthless than directly grabbing the silver.

But in Shen Lingxi's view, in fact, this way of giving money and buying shares is actually very beneficial to the business of every rich businessman, after all, the economy of Donghua County Shen Lingxi has also seen that whether it is a small trader, a big restaurant, or other aspects of business, it will face the exploitation of Xuanwu soldiers or officials at any time, and the business order will be seriously disrupted.

This is also the fundamental reason why Donghua County's tax revenue is declining every month, I believe that after Shen Lingxi forcibly injected capital into Shen Lingxi and bought half of the shares, there would be no guy from Xuanwu who thought he was a privileged person to disrupt the business order.

In this way, although half of the profits will be given to Shen Lingxi, but with Shen Lingxi providing shelter and financial support, it is presumable that the business of the entire Donghua County will soon prosper again.

This day was the day when Shen Lingxi sent an invitation to invite all the wealthy businessmen of Donghua County to come to the General's Mansion, of course Tuoba Jun would not go to meet these low-status businessmen, and he handed over this matter to Shen Lingxi and had no intention of interfering, so he went to the barracks to inspect very early.

Without Tuoba Jun in the General's Mansion, Shen Lingxi felt that he was more able to let go, and I believe that these businessmen would also be a little more comfortable.

Because of the large number of people, Shen Lingxi arranged this party in the garden of the general's vestibule, just like a banquet party in later generations, where wine, food, and fruits were placed all over the garden, and these merchants could take them at will.

The hour was almost up, and there was an endless stream of gorgeous carriages in front of the General's Mansion, and these merchants did not deliberately pretend to be poor or anything, because they knew that the soldiers of the Xuanwu Kingdom had already found out their family background.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you were also invited to the General's Mansion today, I also received an invitation a few days ago, I dare not come! I don't know what the situation is today, alas, I am really a little worried!"

A short and fat man dressed in gorgeous silk and satin, as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the shopkeeper Wang who opened the restaurant, so he hurriedly pulled the shopkeeper Wang and the two began to complain to each other.

"Alas, don't talk nonsense, this is the gate of the General's Mansion, don't you want to live? I see, the young general may just want some silver, after all, there are so many merchants here this time, and the young general can't give us all to the house!

The shopkeeper who opened the restaurant whispered comfort, this short and fat man in the silk business.

This kind of sighing and comforting each other was repeatedly staged in front of the General's Mansion, but most people still didn't dare to be too loud, just complained, and hurried into the General's Mansion.

Shen Lingxi had been waiting for these rich businessmen in the garden of the front hall for a long time, and when he saw that the time had come, these rich businessmen arrived one after another, and he was still very relieved.

Shen Lingxi thought that her reputation for raiding the house was too loud, and she would scare none of these businessmen to come, but it seemed that she was thinking too much.

"Rich businessmen, please be casual, this is just a meeting between Young Master Ben and everyone, from today onwards, we must all get to know each other and work together for the prosperity of Donghua County. ”

When these rich businessmen almost arrived, Shen Lingxi began to use some words that he felt amiable, hoping to dispel the worries and fears in the hearts of these rich businessmen.

After listening to Shen Lingxi's words, the rich businessmen looked at each other, not knowing which one the young general was singing.

It was supposed to be a good party, but because these rich merchants were uneasy, basically no one took the wine and food in the garden, and none of them knew what the price would be for eating the things of the general's mansion, so the rich merchants just talked together in groups of three or five.

Shen Lingxi saw that these people were really not on the road, so he was no longer embarrassed for them, and went straight to the point.

Shen Lingxi asked people to simply bring a lot of stools with me, and set up a lecture in the garden.

Because of the large number of people, Shen Lingxi was afraid that the people sitting in the back would not be able to hear her, so he arranged these stools in a circle, and Shen Lingxi himself stood in the middle of the circle and began to explain the current policy to these rich businessmen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Yuwenlong, yes, you call me the Major General. It is good to invite everyone to the General's Mansion today, and I want to tell everyone!"

Although Shen Lingxi was not very old, when he spoke, the rich businessmen sitting around him did not dare to take a breath, and no one dared to talk to each other, so Shen Lingxi did not speak loudly, but every rich businessman sitting there heard Shen Lingxi's words clearly.

"Benefits? The General's Mansion will benefit us businessmen! How can this be ......?"

"Woo, what does this young general mean, we businessmen are usually exploited, how dare we ask the general's mansion for benefits!"

Hearing Shen Lingxi's words, the wealthy businessmen below couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Shen Lingxi listened to their words in his ears and was not angry, so he continued: "Yes, everyone heard me right! I invited everyone to the General's Mansion today to give everyone great benefits...... Today, not only can you get the silver, but you can also get the protection of the General's Mansion in the future business, and you don't have to pay anything except the normal taxes in the future. Here, I, Yu Wenlong, would like to assure you that from now on, all walks of life in Donghua County will prosper again. All of you here, your business will only be better in the future, you will earn more money, and your rights and interests will be protected by the General's Mansion. ”

Shen Lingxi said all the benefits he felt were good for these businessmen in one breath, so he heard that the surrounding area suddenly exploded, and every rich businessman was excited in disbelief.

"Really, the General's Mansion will really protect our business in the future, so that we don't have to worry about it every day!"

"Is the young general saying that we can give out the money and let the General's Mansion protect us?"

"How much silver do we need to give to the General's Mansion for a month?"

Countless businessmen threw their questions at Shen Lingxi, so that Shen Lingxi couldn't hear any of them clearly, but the sporadic Shen Lingxi still understood most of these people's questions.

made a quiet gesture, and Shen Lingxi then explained everyone's doubts.

"It's not that everyone wants to give money to the General's Mansion, but that the General's Mansion will give everyone silver, and promise to protect the business of all the merchants here in the future, and it will also facilitate everyone's business in the area controlled by the Xuanwu State. ”

After Shen Lingxi finished speaking this time, the surroundings were silent, and the rich businessmen couldn't believe their ears, thinking that they were dreaming, what kind of general's mansion gave silver, and gave shelter, and also gave all kinds of conveniences in business, this must be the young general's nonsense.

didn't speak, but Shen Lingxi still saw doubts in the eyes of these people.

So Shen Lingxi pointed to the shopkeeper of the restaurant that had a conflict with Xiao Daocheng, the former son of the county guard, last time and said, "The shopkeeper of the restaurant came over here." ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was named by Shen Lingxi, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't sit on the ground, but he still stood up tremblingly and walked to Shen Lingxi.

"Young General, what are your orders to call Xiao Lao'er?"

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly in the face of Shen Lingxi, looking like a pug.

Shen Lingxi looked at this honest and responsible restaurant shopkeeper, and said in a pleasant tone: "What do you call the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "The villain's surname is Zhou, just call me Shopkeeper Zhou......!"

Shen Lingxi nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, I probably already know the scale of your restaurant, so today, the General's Mansion will give you 200,000 taels of silver......
