Late at night.
City Lord's Mansion.
A phone ringing suddenly rang.
Zhang Ping picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Shouren's kind and gentle tone came:
"I'm sorry for calling you late at night, but Shouren does have something that I must tell you."
Zhang Ping frowned and said coldly:
"Say what you have to say and fart what you want. There is a lot of resistance regarding wildlife breeding and protected areas. The people in the western suburbs are also very resentful. You classical Taoist masters should rest. In the end, they are just a rumor!"
Qin Shouren on the other end of the phone raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke in a devilishly seductive tone:
"What if, and I'm just saying if, the rumors are true?"
Zhang Ping's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said quickly:
"Is this true?"
The female secretary on the side frowned slightly, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition.
Qin Shouren let out a hearty laugh, hit the Enter key, and transferred part of the experimental data of the dragon blood potion to the special account of the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Ping roughly reviewed the experiment report, with a strange emotion in his eyes, "The estimated life span is actually over 200 years old?"
"For such a world-shaking medicine, even if it means paying millions in cash or even precious spiritual stones, you classical Taoist masters will not hesitate to bid!"
There was no teasing in Qin Shouren's tone, and he curled his lips and said with a smile:
"so!"
"My Lord City Lord, it is imperative to apply for a wildlife sanctuary. Only the freshest Yalong blood can be used as the main ingredient in life-extending potions. As for the compensation for the people in the western suburbs, the classical Taoist masters will contribute half. You The city lord’s palace will pay half of it, so it’s very easy to solve.”
"According to my calculations, if dragons are extremely obscene and hunting is banned for at least two years, the total number of dragon-blooded beasts will reach more than 200,000.
On average, every ten dragon beasts can produce one liter of sub-dragon blood.
We carry out large-scale purchases from those warriors at a price of 100,000 yuan per liter, but the finished medicine can be sold for millions, and the difference is hundreds of times!
The total output value in a year will never be less than tens of billions!
And the indirect economic benefits are even more immeasurable. Tens of billions, hundreds of billions, are all numbers that you can hope for and... reach!
I guarantee you that when the industrial chain takes shape, Qingcheng’s annual taxes will increase by at least four to five billion!
No matter what difficulties you have, no matter what obstacles you encounter, for the sake of the people, please push forward the application as soon as possible.
Within half a month at most, all dragon species in the western suburbs and mountain forest areas will be killed by the monks.
By the time the grassland dragon species were extinct and the mysterious sub-dragon demon was discovered, it was too late even if he took the regret medicine!
Time cannot be lost, it will never come again! "
Qin Shouren deliberately lengthened his tone for the last four words, which greatly aroused Zhang Ping's inner impulse.
Immediately.
The phone hangs up.
Qin Shouren raised his eyes and looked at the operating table.
The unconscious person lying on it is no longer his son Qin Shutong, but the monk Lao Gou who had a transaction with him yesterday.
His tone was cold, and he said with a faint smile: "In order to keep the secret of the formula, you are the price, and the people in the western suburbs are also the price."
"Only by purchasing dozens or hundreds of Yalong blood at the same time can we truly hide the true source of raw materials for life-extending potions!"
"The best way for a drop of water to hide itself is to merge into the endless ocean!"
"Unfortunately, in this case, the real profit of the life-extending potion will be much smaller... Well, the compensation should be paid a few years later. Anyway, the half compensation from the City Lord's Mansion is enough for the people's livelihood."
…………
City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Ping pondered at his desk for a long time, and then with a fanatical look on his face, he told the female secretary all his plans in an extremely passionate tone:
"I figured it out!"
“Transform the western suburbs and large tracts of mountain forests in the west of Qingcheng that are difficult to open into wildlife breeding and conservation areas.
The monks have a place to play, and they can obtain a large amount of spiritual materials and excess wealth every year. They are all local monks, and all the money will be used for consumption, boosting the economy of Qingcheng;
Classical Taoist masters will receive life-extending potions, the longer they live, the more ancient and powerful they are;
And Qingcheng can also reap four to five billion in taxes, as well as massive indirect economic benefits!
I will not waste any of this money. I will use it to build bridges and pave roads, improve people's livelihood, and develop Qingcheng's economy and people's livelihood!
Within ten years, I want to make Qingcheng the largest economic city in Qingzhou! "
but……
Zhang Ping's passionate words did not affect the female secretary at all. She still maintained a certain sense and said bitterly:
"Lord City Lord, I know you are a motivated person, but have you considered the consequences?"
"The people in the western suburbs have a total of 90,000 households and about 285,000 people. They are threatened by dragon beasts all day long. They have been looking forward to the city lord's palace and many monks to put an end to the dragon problem as soon as possible, but...
Now you have to tell them that the dragon species will no longer be exterminated, and the land they depend on for a living will be taken away, and then their villages, fields, and homes where they have lived for decades will be given to those wild beasts.
Do you think they can agree? "
"Besides, do Qingcheng and a small number of classical Taoists really have the financial resources to commandeer the entire western suburbs?
It's not just a road, it's a street. It's more than a thousand square kilometers of land, and there are more than 200,000 people living in it! "
"At least in the early stage, we simply cannot afford the permanent relocation of more than 200,000 people. Do we have to pay an IOU to the displaced people in the western suburbs?"
"I know very well that once the agricultural nature of the land is changed into a nature reserve, the first to suffer will be ordinary people who have no money and power and cannot withstand any economic fluctuations!"
"more importantly!"
"Once dragon-type beasts overflow, can Qingcheng's meager strength really be able to withstand the impact of the beast tide? Can you afford this risk?"
The female secretary looked sad and told all the possible consequences of the wildlife reserve as if she didn't need money.
Zhang Ping was stunned, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes as he looked at her, but thinking of their years of friendship, he still held back and patiently explained:
"I can only do it reluctantly."
“In the past few years, we all tightened our belts and started the industry together. After the costs have been recovered and the economy developed, we can then pay all the IOUs, wouldn’t it?
Anyway, Qin Shouren also said that he would bear the other half of the compensation. This money is enough for the people in the western suburbs to maintain their livelihood for a few years. It doesn't matter if we make an IOU here. "
"I will take the blame for the suffering of the people!"
The female secretary was speechless and walked out of the office in despair. But when she looked up at the sky, she saw an unprecedented strange sight.
The sky is full of stars, falling in the western suburbs, and there are even shadows of swords in the sky, crisscrossing the mountains and forests!
at the same time.
The patrol leader of the temporary camp, Zheng Dong, reported the great news to the city lord's palace:
"Lord City Lord, I have good news to tell you!"
"The dragon species in the mountain forest have been eliminated!"
"?"
Zhang Ping was so shocked that he slowly raised a question mark.
