Since it is impossible to eliminate the black market, then control the black market.
This idea was not only shared by aristocratic families, but also by Tang Feng at that time. He didn't just think about it, but actually did it.
Taking over the work of the black market went surprisingly smoothly, with almost no resistance.
In the eyes of other aristocratic families, this is normal. The power of the black market is indeed very strong, but if you want to survive, you must rely on the strong.
In today's Xizhou, the well-deserved leader is Tang Feng. If you don't surrender to Tang Feng, you can only say that you are asking for death.
Therefore, Black Market's submission was not expected by the big and small aristocratic families, but instead was deeply envious.
Embracing the big tree of Tang Feng, the development of the black market in Xizhou is like a duck in water.
Not only is the scale getting bigger and bigger, the huge profits made for Tang Feng are also very objective.
After Tang Feng's fall, the black market disappeared overnight. At that time, Su Qi'an wanted to rectify the black market.
But the black market disappeared out of thin air, making him realize that the so-called black market was not that simple.
But now, Lin Yuanzhi's awakening has made Su Qi'an understand the reason why the black market has survived and disappeared.
It seems that the black market chose to surrender because they were afraid of Tang Feng's rights. It is possible that they did this deliberately.
Holding the big tree of Tang Feng, it silently grew and grew until Tang Feng fell and took advantage of the situation to stop.
After all, if the power of the black market really explodes, not even Su Qian can bear it.
With Tang Feng's shrewdness, he must have given orders to the black market to disrupt Xizhou's economy before.
But until Su Qian took over Xizhou, the black market remained motionless.
Su Qi'an couldn't figure this out either, but now that he knew Luo Qingyuan was the man behind the black market, everything was explained.
Without Luo Qingyuan's order, how could Tang Feng have commanded the black market?
If Tang Feng knew underground that the man behind the black market was Luo Qingyuan, would he be so shocked that he vomited blood?
Although the black market has disappeared, after so many years of accumulation, they have controlled at least 30 to 40% of Xizhou's economy.
It's just that they didn't get Luo Qingyuan's order to explode.
And the letter Luo Qingyuan sent to the three old patriarchs of the aristocratic families was precisely about the properties of the three reclusive aristocratic families, which were manipulated by the black market.
As long as you give an order and the black market can be used, it won't defeat them all at once, but it will still be very easy to severely damage their vitality.
This kind of manipulation is enough for Wang Tianfang and the others to weigh whether to fight or make peace.
After hearing Lin Yuanzhi's explanation, Su Qi'an and Zhou Qi both sighed and nodded.
They still underestimated Luo Qingyuan. Think about it, if he really didn't have two brushes, how could he have lived in seclusion in Xizhou safely for nearly twenty years?
At any rate, he also came out from the bottom, and the darkness he saw would not make him capsize in the gutter.
This kind of plan and then act, if you don't take action, it will be fatal. Once you take action, it will be fatal. He can be called a true master.
After sighing, Su Qian still had a hidden question in her heart and wanted to ask Lin Yuanzhi.
Lin Yuanzhi could naturally see what Su Qian was thinking.
Even though Luo Qingyuan controls many of the industrial lifelines of the three major hidden families, he uses the black market to threaten their submission.
The matter can be handled, but Wang Tianfang has been in the officialdom for so many years. At any rate, he served as the second-in-command of a state, and even exercised the power of state pastoralist for a time.
Even if he is threatened, with the contacts he has accumulated over the years, as long as he raises his arms, most of the Xizhou aristocratic families will follow him. This is enough to defeat Luo Qingyuan to the death.
With confidence, you can even negotiate some conditions for surrender, but it is absolutely impossible to be so humble and submissive.
There seemed to be something that made Wang Tianfang so afraid that he did not dare to negotiate any terms.
This thing is definitely not the so-called black market.
Lin Yuanzhi showed a playful expression on his face and said softly, "Qi An, do you know the origins of those shadow guards? I think you should be familiar with them."
Su Qi'an was startled, then nodded, his eyes flashing. At this time, Lin Yuanzhi stretched out his palm and wrote two words in the air in front of the two of them.
After seeing these two words, Zhou Qi and Su Qi'an's faces were filled with shock.
Those two words are very simple, but they carry a lot of weight, "Dragon Guard!"
Just these two words were enough to make Zhou Qi tremble with fear.
Su Qian came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and murmured softly, "I see, that makes sense."
"Mr. Luo is really not an ordinary person." Su Qian sighed inexplicably.
Su Qi'an was quite familiar with Long Wei. When she was in Jiaozhou, the person Su Fengling took with her was Long Wei.
The strength of the Dragon Guards is obvious to all. There was a time when Su Qi'an asked Su Fengling to come forward and mobilize a group of Dragon Guards to serve as instructors for his direct team.
The impression of Long Wei is still fresh in my memory.
What's scary about the Dragon Guard is not their strength. With the background of the hidden family, using the human sea tactic to deal with these Dragon Guards, who only have a dozen or so people, will consume them to death.
What really frightens Wang Tianfang is the imperial power behind Long Wei.
The mobilization of the Dragon Guard for protection can only be said to be Su Xuanyong's love for his children. The Dragon Guard has also protected the ministers of the DPRK. It is a gift and honor given by Su Xuanyong to the ministers.
However, for nearly twenty years, he has been able to continuously send out dragon guards to protect one person, and this person is a former state pastor who has retired to seclusion.
In order not to cause commotion, the Dragon Guard was directly renamed the so-called Shadow Guard for personal protection.
This kind of honor has never happened in Su Qian's memory.
This is terrible. What does it mean? This means that His Majesty has always valued Luo Qingyuan. If he did not value him, it would be impossible to send personal dragon guards to protect him.
And who knows whether Luo Qingyuan has had any contact with Su Xuanyong in the past twenty years.
How to contact? What did you say? Does His Majesty have any other intentions for Xizhou? Have their actions been monitored by His Majesty?
The reason behind this is very intriguing. This is the important reason that prompted Wang Tianfang to put down his posture, change his attitude immediately, and submit to Luo Qingyuan.
Regardless of whether there are other factors behind this, Luo Qingyuan's words to redo Xizhou Mu are almost certain based on the fact that he has protected a reclusive minister for nearly twenty years.
Fighting against such a person will lead to death, and there is no second possibility.
This is the scary thing about imperial power. Despite the decline of Great Liang, His Majesty is a bit dull now, but once he gets serious, he really wants to clean up the local aristocratic families.
With just one word, these aristocratic families would be reduced to ashes. If you want to preserve your family, you must have this kind of awe.
Su Qi'an turned to look at Zhou Qi beside him and said with a smile, "Haha, Zhou Qi, it seems you are lucky. Stay with Mr. Luo and Mr. Luo will not treat you badly."
Zhou Qi looked frightened. He had been involved in official circles for a decade or two, so he naturally knew who was backing Luo Qingyuan.
This is a truly powerful person. Before traveling, Zhou Qi knew that Luo Qingyuan had a good background and was a big shot, but he did not expect that his background was so big.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak now and stood there.
Lin Yuanzhi on the side smiled and patted Zhou Qi's shoulder and said, "Haha, Zhou Qi, do your best, your good luck is yet to come."
The stunned Zhou Qi nodded. When he came back to his senses, his eyes turned around. There were no figures of Su Qi'an and Lin Yuanzhi around him.
The two of them left without knowing when.
Zhou Qi's face was excited, his fists were clenched, his eyes showed excitement, and he murmured softly.
"Sir, don't worry, Mr. Lin, my subordinates will definitely live up to your expectations. One day, my subordinates will catch up with you and share your worries."
…
At this time, Lin Yuanzhi and Su Qi'an, who had left the side room, also walked out of the county gate.
The two looked at each other, bowed their hands, and turned around to leave.
With Luo Qingyuan coming out, the big trouble of the hidden family has been solved. Luo Qingyuan will worry about the next improvement of Xizhou.
Now that they were out of trouble, the two of them naturally went back to their respective homes to rest.
In Sichuandu County, Lin Yuanzhi had his own villa, and after Su Qi'an solved the trouble, he went to find Lu Xiaowan.
According to the plan, the reconstruction of Wanggui Commercial Bank has been carried out one after another.
During this period, the three backbone head offices in Xizhou City, Chuandu County and Lingbei County have been established.
Su Qian planned to take a look while he was still in Sichuandu County.
Walking all the way towards the rebuilt Wanggui Commercial Walk, Su Qi'an was still very excited.
What excited him was not the reconstruction of the trading company, but the strength shown by Luo Qingyuan.
Being able to be protected by His Majesty for nearly twenty years is enough to show that Luo Qingyuan is not simple.
Su Qi'an was truly lucky to be able to pick up a great talent like Luo Qingyuan this time.
This meeting also made Su Qi'an deeply realize that no matter how powerful someone is, he cannot escape the supremacy of imperial power.
All conspiracies and machinations are nothing but smoke and vulnerabilities in front of the imperial power.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Su Qi'an would never put himself in danger to offend the imperial power. Stable development was the top priority.
And Luo Qingyuan's coming out of the mountain can be regarded as eliminating Su Qi'an's worries.
On the way to the rebuilding Wanggui Trading Company, Su Qi'an could already imagine how big a shock Luo Qingyuan's coming out would have to Xizhou, especially those aristocratic families.
And this is what Su Qian is looking forward to.
Along the way, we walked through two streets, and we were in the middle of the third street, which was also the most prosperous and lively street in Sichuan Province.
A six-story commercial building rises from the ground and attracts attention on the third street.
This is the Wanggui Trading Company that was rebuilt in Chuandu County. From what I could see, Wanggui Trading Company was still in the renovation stage and had not been completed.
About 70% to 80% completed, we can already see the prototype of a large-scale trading company.
Judging from this progress, it should take about ten days and a half to completely complete the project.
Various craftsmen are busy, and some old people from the trading firm are also directing work. From a distance, the atmosphere is very good.
As Su Qi'an walked in, his eyes withdrew from the imposing business firm and fell on a graceful young woman in white clothes in front of him.
Although her back was turned to him, Su Qi'an could feel the aura of a superior person exuding from this woman.
The words are soft, but with a bit of majesty, and that majesty is convincing.
Su Qian stood behind the woman in white, was silent for a while, and said softly, "Xiaowan, I'm back."
The familiar voice sounded, and the woman in white was startled. Then, under Su Qian's gaze, she slowly turned around. There was a bit of excitement on her beautiful face, and at the same time, tears fell unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.
