"This Zhou Zhenwen... actually loves the people like a son..."
"From this point of view, he is qualified to do this."
Empress Liang looked at the dialogue in the simulator screen and felt a lot relieved. Even though she knew that this was a simulated screen, she was still worried that Zhou Zhenwen would lose herself under power and become a puppet of power, which would really give birth to a reaction. Heart! !
Don't think this is impossible. People's self-control is very weak, and it is easy to lose themselves under the influence of the environment... There are too many lessons in history. How to be wise and powerful when you first ascend the throne? , how wise and decisive... how foolish and unruly he will be when he is old...
These are the lessons of history! !
However, a true hero, under the influence of power, will also become a mediocre person who loses himself and indulges in wine, sex and wealth! !
"Taizu once said that absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Because of this, Taizu established the cabinet system. On the one hand, it was to reduce the burden on the emperor, and on the other hand, it was to prevent one family from becoming dominant and the emperor acting recklessly. And no one stopped..."
Empress Liang looked at Zhou Zhenwen in the picture and murmured: "Zhou Zhenwen has gained tremendous power in the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is inevitable that he will not have other thoughts. This is what I am worried about..."
It is impossible for people not to have desires. As long as they have desires, they will be affected! !
This is the weakness of human nature, and it is also the necessity of human nature! !
[Xiao Liu: Sir, the real estate plan has been advanced in an orderly manner, and we can start the second step of the plan. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly: Well, let’s get started! ! Go according to plan! ! 】
[Xiao Liu: Yes. 】
[Soon, under the arrangement of Xiaoliu, a city-wide public welfare activity began...]
[Young man from Dongcheng District: Have you heard about it? The Suhang City Lord's Mansion has opened a new event! ! 】
[Another resident: Your news is out of date, did you just hear about it? It's been on the front page of the newspaper for a long time, look, isn't it? It’s called...Everyone can enjoy 10,000 taels of gold in Tesco! ! 】
[The young man from Dongcheng District: Huh? what does it mean? 】
[Another resident: You don’t understand this? As long as you invest half a tael of silver, you can participate in the lottery. The person who wins the prize will be directly rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion with 10,000 taels of gold! ! 】
[The young man from Dongcheng District: What? that is real good! ! But there should be a lot of people participating, right? Won’t the City Lord’s Mansion lose money? If you play like this! ! 】
[Tenant: Losing money? What money is lost? This year, do you know what happened? The city lord's mansion has long been making crazy money from land, shops, buildings, villas, and entertainment cities. Those businessmen are like wolves that smell meat, rushing over and investing like crazy. All kinds of money, like running water, are flowing in. There are people in the bank, and I heard that the interest paid out by the bank every month is now more than 100,000 taels! ! 】
[A young man from Dongcheng District: Tsk, tsk, tsk, the interest is more than 100,000 taels? How much principal does this require? terrible! ! Master Zhou is really making money. You think he looks so young, how can he be so smart? What is hidden in his head? If you ask me, he is simply underestimating his talents as the chief minister of the cabinet. If he comes out to do business early, what else does the Wan family have to do? 】
[Tenant: That’s right! ! Now these businessmen think so. They are waiting for a little bit of it to flow out from Mr. Zhou’s fingers and feed it to them... It’s a huge profit! ! Those merchants who first participated in the trade fair got a 15% discount, which was a huge profit! ! 】
[A young man from Dongcheng District: I’m envious! ! By the way, that national Tesco is entitled to 10,000 taels of gold. What if you don’t win? Isn’t that one tael of silver a loss? Are there any other rewards? 】
[The resident points to the content in the newspaper: Look, isn’t it written here? Participating in the activities will give you a consolation prize, about ten cents. For each event, thirty cents will be allocated to participate in welfare construction, that is, donated to the people in the northern region who move southward and the poor households... Oh, by the way, he also There are third prize, second prize, and first prize. What I just mentioned is the first prize. There are also several places for other prizes. The rewards range from 3,000 taels to 5,000 taels. If you can draw other prizes, you will make a lot of money. ! ! 】
[A young man from Dongcheng District: That’s not bad! ! This can be done! Let's pool our money together, and each of us only has a quarter of a tael. If we win, we can split it equally, and we can pay off the mortgage in one breath, buy a magnificent carriage, and get four horses to travel around. It's really cool! ! 】
[Resident: You are such a slut! ! Four-horse drivers pull carts, that is, in the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, if you have money, you can do anything. If it were outside, if you dared to ride a four-horse carriage, you would have been captured by the court and thrown into prison! ! 】
[Young man from Dongcheng District: Hehe, the urban management of Suzhou and Hangzhou managed by Mr. Zhou should be looser...]
[Resident: Let’s go, let’s go and buy tickets! ! 】
...
[Suhang City, City Lord’s Mansion. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen drank tea and asked casually: How is it? How are sales going? 】
[Xiao Liu cupped his hands and said: Sir, it is very easy to sell. A total of 800,000 taels of lottery coupons were sold. After all the bonuses are converted, it only amounts to a few hundred thousand taels of silver, with a net profit of more than 600,000 taels! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Well, it’s expected. After all, it’s a newly launched project. It’s normal for participation to be high in the early stage. It will slowly drop later. Don’t do it too frequently. It’s not worth it. Just do it once a week! ! Later, it will gradually become a prize pool type. You can accumulate the prize pool. It is enough to put one-tenth of the net profit into it. Then it will be later made into a number combination and turned into a lottery mode to operate...]
[Xiao Liu listened carefully and nodded from time to time: Yes, sir. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Well, I asked you to make the scratch card. How did you do with it? 】
[Xiao Liu: Sir, it is quite troublesome to prevent martial arts masters from seeing through their spiritual thoughts. If it can be seen through, then this project will...]
[Zhou Zhenwen: Isn’t it difficult to make a powder that prevents martial arts masters from seeing through their spiritual thoughts? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen thought for a while and said: No, just buy some rare consumables. I think the scraps left over from making the Divine Weapon Blade are very suitable. There are also the source stone fragments from the formation pattern loss and the corpse powder of the Lingyun Locust. It can be used. These things have limited value, so make the best use of them! ! 】
[Xiao Liu: Yes, sir. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Starting from today, we will start organizing entertainment activities to make everyone happy and active. I think Cuju competition is very good. Using the Cuju competition model, you can participate in gambling and compare wins and losses, points, and goals. You can use it to gamble! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Isn’t there a gambling house in Beicheng District? The big handicap is located there, and the small handicap can be set up in every shop that sells lottery tickets, and let them collect them on their behalf. Finally, they will be unified and the city lord's palace will pay the compensation. Don't be afraid of trouble, do whatever you can to make money, Nan The relocation work is only halfway through, there are still many houses to be built, and money for underground towns... Remember my goal, within three years, Suzhou and Hangzhou will become the first city in the wilderness! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Both in terms of comprehensive strength and total income, it must exceed other cities. Within five years, I want the taxes paid by Suzhou and Hangzhou to be equal to the commercial taxes in the country. Within ten years, I want the total income of Suzhou and Hangzhou to exceed the entire wilderness! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: When developing the economy, we must not stick to the rules. We must open up and carry out special projects. We must stretch the economy at all costs, promote consumption, and spread the influence. In the future, I hope that not only people in Suzhou and Hangzhou will participate in the enjoyment of the whole people. , I want the entire wilderness to move! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Type the slogan and tell the people across the country that I will create fifty rich people with ten thousand taels of gold within a year. If you want to get rich overnight or get rid of poverty, come and join Tesco for All! ! 】
[Xiao Liu: Yes, sir. 】
