"Your Highness, I have been thinking about it since I returned home. There are not many places where I can make money right now. I still have to go and look around to make some plans."
"However, I have recently begun construction work on the Qinhuai River to transform it. I don't know what your Highness thinks of it."
After listening, Zhu Biao was slightly disappointed and not interested in what Zheng Xiong said.
After all, Ying Tianfu's project has nothing to do with him.
All the hard work is Ying Tianfu's performance and cannot be shouldered by himself.
Zhu Biao said with some lack of interest.
"I have heard about Ying Tianfu's actions. There must be a deep meaning in such a big move!"
Zhu Biao was weak, so Zheng Xiong took over the conversation.
"Your Highness has a keen eye. The entire Qinhuai River is planned to be completely transformed and turned into a pearl of Nanjing City."
"It's not just limited to Goulan, brothels and restaurants, as long as it's an industry that people have great interest in, I'm prepared to cover it."
"In the future, you will find everything you need here to eat, drink, play, and have a dazzling array of department store products. After this is completed, it will not be a problem for the shops on the street to make a fortune just by collecting rent."
"I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in getting involved?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was not sleepy anymore, especially the item of making money every day was extremely tempting.
It is also simple, convenient and easy to operate, just find someone to collect the rent, which saves time, effort and worry.
"The Marquis Yi will tell you what you want to say. If you are in charge of Yingtian Mansion, I will trust you. But since you are ready to resign, everything will be hard to say."
"How can you ensure that this plan will go forward according to your thoughts?"
After resting at home for more than half a month, Zheng Xiong was fully prepared for Zhu Biao's questions. Although it hurt a little, it was the best result.
"It is precisely because I can't think of anything to make money for the time being, so I plan to mortgage the property rights along the Qinhuai River to His Highness."
"Give His Highness what is included in the title deed of the house. In the future, even if I no longer serve as governor, Your Highness can still collect rent from it and make money from it."
"Of course, it would be better if I could think of ways to make money when I go out for fun."
"When the time comes, Your Highness will be able to collect rent on one hand and make money in partnership with me on the other. Wouldn't it be nice?"
It's very beautiful, and with the alcohol-related industry, it's possible to earn millions a month.
What Zheng Xiong said really scratched Zhu Biao's itch.
These few words made Zhu Biao extremely excited.
Just a sentence, no matter what you do, it won't be a loss.
What Zheng Xiong thought was simple, it was to give Zhu Biao the story of a man walking away from tea, so that he could rest assured that any ideas he had in the future could be implemented through Zhu Biao.
Although I don’t want to do it anymore, I still need to hold my thighs. Zhu Biao is suitable and Zheng Xiong is also very satisfied.
No one can refuse the good thing that the man is in love and has a concubine, and no one can refuse, including Zhu Biao.
With the bright benefits, Zhu Biao's expression changed drastically, making people feel like a spring breeze.
"It's easy to say. Just go ahead and do it. I will try my best to convince my father to agree to your resignation."
The tangible benefits come first, and Zhu Biao answered readily.
Zheng Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.
Being an official under Lao Zhu, although as long as you are not corrupt, don't form cliques for personal gains, and have some ability, your life safety is actually guaranteed.
But being beaten several times was really painful. It was impossible for Zheng Xiong not to have some resentment in his heart.
Being able to escape from the disputes in the court is naturally a dream.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will go back and wait for the good news from Your Highness. I will also send the land deed document to Your Highness while I am still serving as the governor of this government office."
"Okay, I will go and see my father later."
Zheng Xiong's idea of resigning was finally realized and was conveyed by Zhu Biao.
The troops were divided into two groups, and Zheng Xiong prepared the land deed documents.
Zhu Biao was already reporting to Lao Zhu about Zheng Xiong.
"Father, Zheng Xiong would like to resign. The child care minister will report to the father."
Lao Zhu was a little surprised, surprised by Zheng Xiong's actions.
For a young high-ranking official with a bright future, it is not something ordinary people can do to give up.
As for officials, Lao Zhu has seen a lot, has great power, and how many people can let go.
To be honest, Lao Zhu really looked at Zheng Xiong in a different light.
"Why doesn't he come to see us in person if he wants to resign?"
"My son, I don't know."
"That's all, why did you come to ask for Zheng Xiong's resignation?"
Zhu Biao didn't know, or he didn't tell if he knew. Lao Zhu didn't blame him, but asked about Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao did not dare to lie in front of Lao Zhu, and immediately told the reason.
"You mean, Zheng Xiong gave you the title deed to the newly built house in the government office! And he went out to make money, right?"
"Yes, I admire Zheng Xiong, especially his ability to make money. Seeing that he is determined, I have no choice but to do it for him."
It’s not nonsense, I’m convinced too!
He was also a little jealous of Zhu Biao. Lao Zhu checked for Zheng Xiong and filled up the gaps, and he only managed to collect half of them after exhausting work.
Zhu Biao just said this, and he won half of it. Lao Zhu felt extremely unbalanced in his heart.
But Zhu Biao is Lao Zhu's most proud prince.
Zheng Xiong used the government's benefits to give Zhu Biao a favor. If it were anyone else, he would not be able to escape the charge of bending the law for personal gain, but now there is no anger.
The imbalance only lasts for a moment.
The biggest benefit is that I and my great eldest son get it, and I don’t have to take the blame myself. I am just happy.
And it's not a bad thing for Zheng Xiong to resign. There are many people who have offended, and there are also many people who want to plot against Zheng Xiong himself.
It’s really unjustifiable not to go fishing with such a good opportunity.
"I've approved this matter, but there are no official positions in the first place. They are all temporary. It doesn't matter in form. It's just temporary."
"There is no need to specifically ask him to resign. He will be back soon."
"Just think of it as a long vacation for him."
Being so easy to talk to, Zhu Biao was still a little bit at a loss, and he kept all the words he had prepared in his stomach.
"Also, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just tell me that I am right. I hope he has the intention to repent and see his specific actions."
"We will watch every word and deed from now on, and ask him to remember what he said and his filial piety."
Not understanding Lao Zhu's intention, Zhu Biao didn't bother to pay more attention. Anyway, he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
"Yes, Father."
After replying, he went back to tell Zheng Xiong the good news.
When Zheng Xiong learned what Lao Zhu meant, he grinned and felt relieved.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for this. When I am ready, I will go out to see if there is any way to make money."
"As soon as possible! Father said that you want to repent. Since you want to take your relatives around to show your filial piety, you should leave as soon as possible. Staying in Yingtian Mansion for too long will probably make Father unhappy. ."
Unexpectedly, his casual words would make Lao Zhu think about it, and he didn't want to make himself feel better.
If possible, Zheng Xiong really wanted to stay at home and not go anywhere.
