Lin Ziyi was flattered.
"Sir, how virtuous and talented is Zi Yi?"
"To be appreciated and valued by the young master, I am already grateful."
"It's just such a big responsibility that my little girl may not be able to bear."
Lin Ziyi knew very well that the situation in Yanshou County has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before.
In the past, Qin's grain merchant branch only needed to collect and sell grain.
There is no essential difference from other grain merchants.
But now, the Zhao family was afraid of Qin Feng, so they stopped their losses in time and decisively withdrew from Yanshou County.
So, Qin's grain merchant is already a veritable leader in Yanshou County.
Not only the grain merchants, big and small, have to obey the Qin family, but even the magistrate of Yanshou County must act based on the Qin family's face.
After all, grain trading is a pillar industry in Yanshou County, accounting for more than half of the local tax revenue.
But now, Qin Feng actually wants to hand over all such great responsibilities and powers to a fledgling girl.
How could Lin Ziyi not be frightened?
"Don't belittle yourself."
Qin Fengyun replied lightly and patted Lin Ziyi on the shoulder, with pure trust in his eyes.
"Your father is weak and will have to retreat to the second line sooner or later. It will be too troublesome to find the shopkeeper again."
"Anyway, you have to take over the job sooner or later. If you go into battle now, you can get some experience in advance."
"Besides, your character is absolutely the same."
Qin Feng adheres to the principle of not trusting those who are suspicious and not trusting those who are employed.
Give the Yanshou County branch number to Lin Ziyi.
Of course, this decision was not made on a whim.
After all, Semicolon's business model has long been fixed.
On the basis of the cost of the upstream grain merchants, the profit is 12%, making the upstream grain merchants profitable.
Then, on the basis of your own capital, increase it by 10% to earn small profits to maintain the normal operation of the semicolon.
At the same time, downstream grain merchants can also make profits.
With the Qin's branch, this 'middleman' will dilute the profits, so even if the downstream grain merchants are no longer goods, they will not increase prices wildly.
Then the food will eventually reach the hands of the people, and the final sales price will also drop.
However, there are also some profit-seeking profiteers.
But Qin's Grain Company has firmly occupied the lifeline hub of Yanshou County.
Have absolute say.
Once you find a downstream businessman who maliciously increases prices, you can just stop doing business with them in the future.
This operating model has almost no technical aspects in operation.
The most important thing is the shopkeeper's character.
the reason is simple!
There is too much oil and water here. If the shopkeeper has evil intentions, he will secretly increase the price.
Even if it only increases by one percentage point, the profit is quite astonishing.
Therefore, Qin Feng cares more about the virtue of the person at the helm than the ability of the person at the helm.
Seeing Qin Feng's firm attitude, Lin Ziyi no longer refused.
The admiration for Qin Feng in my heart has reached an unprecedented height.
He secretly vowed that even if he devoted the rest of his life to Qin's grain account, he would still repay Qin Feng for his kindness.
The most respectable thing is...
Ever since Qin Feng came to Yanshou County, he has not had the slightest bit of discrimination or disdain towards Lin Ziyi's daughterhood.
…
The night is getting darker.
The backyard of the branch in Yanshou County.
Liu Ming, captain of the Jinyi Anwu Guard, handed a list of names to Qin Feng and reported softly at the same time.
"Sir, since you came to Yanshou County, up to this moment, you have pulled out the tails of eighty-five people."
"Among them, there are fifteen Black Captains, seven Beidi Night Owls, and twenty-six Tianbang Killers. The rest are very mixed."
"There are people from the Forbidden Army, as well as people from the Seventh Prince and the Grand Tutor."
Qin Feng's eyes were dull, and all the names on the list were marked with red crosses.
This means that all these secret coveters have been eliminated by Liu Ming.
Qin Feng casually returned the list to Liu Ming.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Yun Danfeng said softly: "It's not surprising."
"The Beidi mission is about to enter Beijing. Lin Taibao has been sentenced to death. Lin Wenwan returns to Jiangnan."
"Now on the surface, there are only three forces left in Kyoto."
"Apart from me, there are the Saint and the Seventh Prince."
"Recently, there have been changes in the Central Plains Imperial Party, and it must have been the sage's instruction."
"After all, I have become the target of public criticism now, and everyone's attention is all on me."
"It would be strange if they didn't send someone to keep an eye on me."
Although Liu Ming is good at assassination, he is not good at political affairs.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, he couldn't help but feel strange.
"Sir, you mentioned the three forces."
"Shouldn't it be...you, the Li royal family, and Beidi?"
"How can we separate the saint and the seventh prince? They are father and son."
Qin Feng shrugged, the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.
"Beidi's main goal now is to strive for benefits in the peace talks."
"To put it bluntly, this is a game between countries and does not count."
"As for the saint and the seventh prince, haha, so what about father and son? As the saying goes, emperors have been ruthless since ancient times."
"The seventh prince's rise to power was completely beyond the saint's expectation."
"From what I know about the saint, he doesn't like 'surprises' the most."
"Everything must be carried out in an orderly manner according to the route planned by the saint."
"If there is a deviation in the middle, the saint will be restless."
Li Yong is the prince who is most like Emperor Liang.
Coupled with the fall of Li Qian, all princes older than Li Yong have either been granted external titles.
Or simply die in confusion.
Even if there is someone who is determined, he is unwilling to fight for the throne and would rather be a free prince.
Even if it is based on the order of eldest and youngest, the eldest son inherits the legal tradition of the reserve.
Li Yong ascended the throne, which was reasonable and expected by the public.
But since Li Yong was promoted to the reserve position, Emperor Liang had never seen Li Yong again.
Obviously, Emperor Liang was quite afraid of the relationship between Li Yong and the Taifu.
At Emperor Liang's current age, it would not be a problem for him to remain on the throne for another ten years.
As for whether Li Yong is willing to wait ten years, it is impossible to say.
Today, Emperor Liang's unprecedented 'tolerance' towards Qin Feng is also because of this incident.
Emperor Liang was afraid that Qin Feng would fall to Li Yong.
So with the joint support of Qin Feng and Taifu, Emperor Liang was not sure whether Li Yong would force him into the palace.
The better you are at hiding yourself, the greater your ambitions tend to be.
It is up to oneself to judge others. Emperor Liang knew the character of his son very well.
However, at the moment, Qin Feng does not want to get involved in the game between Emperor Liang and Li Yong prematurely.
We should still focus on the Beidi peace talks.
If the peace talks go awry, the balance between the two countries will be broken again.
Even Qin Feng couldn't predict what kind of chain reaction it would have.
In addition, the North is on the front line. No matter what happens, the North will bear the brunt.
Early the next morning, Qin Feng left Yanshou County.
Lin Ziyi sent her away for ten miles before reluctantly returning.
