Feng Mingyuan nodded, and the movement in the city lord's mansion followed.
The second lady is favored again! Such news is almost no slower than the wind, and as soon as the news comes out, it is known to everyone in the backyard.
This cannot be hidden, and there is nothing to hide. The silks, satins and jewelry from the warehouse were carried out into the second lady's yard. Anyone who was not deaf or blind would know about it.
But not everyone knows exactly how the second lady suddenly became favored. It's just that some people are happy and some are sad about this matter.
It's always a plain bowl of water, but now I don't even notice it. Some people who had ridiculed, took sides or even added insult to injury before became restless.
As the second wife Zeng Yi gained favor again, a huge sum of nearly forty gold was withdrawn from the city lord's private treasury under Feng Mingyuan's instructions, along with the city lord's mansion. The housekeeper of the city lord's palace directly took the bills and paid them door-to-door. In just one morning, all the old debts that Zeng Fei had owed for many years were settled.
Feng Mingyuan didn't bother to play any tricks with Zeng Fei, and said that as long as the second strategy satisfied him, the City Lord's Mansion would help him settle Zeng Fei's debt later. Moreover, he did not use his power to force Zeng Fei's creditors to lose blood, but paid off the debts in a serious manner.
Of course, the housekeeper of the city lord's palace personally came forward, so the water money with horrifyingly high interest rates would not be counted out. It would be good to recover the principal and then collect some interesting interest so as not to lose money and make a little profit. After all, the properties Zeng Fei had previously been divided up by creditors, and that part has now been included in the interest.
The news was notified to Zeng Fei on the same day, and Zeng Fei received the debt documents from various creditors at the same time. No one is missed.
When he got these debt documents, Zeng Fei, a middle-aged man who had experienced ups and downs, couldn't help but burst into tears and squatted on the ground for a long time, unable to calm down.
After he calmed down, Zeng Fei immediately ran to Bailang's house to thank him in person. But it was all in vain. I didn't know where Bailang had gone, so he was waiting at the door with a gift. Zeng Fei is very clear about the source of his current chance to make a comeback. What's more, if he wants to continue to eat from the big pot of "industrial park" later, he can't do without Bailang. Even Bailang's casual pointers can help him at least gain a foothold in the future and avoid being picked off by others.
At this time, Bailang was also in a happy mood. At the same time that Zeng Fei got the news, he also got the news that his mission had been completed and that he needed to return to Ma Sheng Alley immediately to accept his promotion.
When Bailang hurried to Ma Sheng Alley and saw Liu Xu again in the affairs hall at the entrance of the main hall, he saw a brand-new bronze waist badge with the word "Bai Lang" clearly engraved on it. , combined with the unique decoration of the knife shop on the front of the brand, it is somewhat solemn.
"This is your waist badge. Once you hang it up, you will be the new swordsman in the sword shop. The knife on your waist was also given to you in advance. This time, I applied for five taels of silver as a reward for the task. Oh, And three new sets of robes.”
Liu Xu personally told Bailang one by one about the items on the tray in front of him. He also personally hung the badge on Bailang's belt. Then he patted Bai Lang's shoulder heavily.
"You are indeed as Zhou Dong said, quick-thinking and reliable. Many people have failed to pay for Zeng Fei's bad debt, and now you have recovered it with interest. What method did you use?"
Liu Xu was curious not only that Bailang had settled the bad debts that had been left in the knife shop's accounts for years and that no one could do anything about in just a few days. I'm even more curious as to why the city lord's palace came directly to settle the accounts, and how was this done?
While Bailang thanked Liu Xu for his kindness, he respectfully proposed the open-source concept of "industrial park" through Zeng Fei's relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, leveraged the City Lord's Mansion, and then used the City Lord's Mansion to eliminate the knife hall. Bad debts are a matter of course.
"Tsk tsk, you have the ability! But this time, those guys in Xicheng got the advantage. No, we can't let them take advantage of this!" Liu Xu quickly thought of Xicheng Swordsmanship Hall. He muttered a few words.
Then Liu Xu seemed to suddenly remember, and then asked: "Bailang, can you prepare a copy of your specific strategy for the "industrial park" for the knife shop?"
Bailang didn't waste any words when he heard what he said, and directly presented the strategy he had prepared in advance from his arms. It contains the two copies he handed over to Zeng Fei, as well as additional instructions on the distribution of oil and water after the construction of the knife shop and industrial park begins.
Bailang would be really stupid if he didn't report this bit of information while hanging around in the knife shop. These twists and turns circled around him. As a social animal, he was naturally clear.
You can't squeeze out toothpaste for many things. You can only tell a few things when asked above. Instead, it's best to pour them all out at once. You have to say it anyway, and being more cheerful will also show loyalty.
Liu Xu was not in a hurry to read it, he just glanced at it twice, and then turned to the back part at Bai Lang's active reminder, listening to Bai Lang's explanation and reading at the same time.
"Master Liu, once the industrial park is established, it will have great changes in all aspects of Yongchuan City. Whether it is the cargo yard, water and land transportation capacity, or even the surrounding derivative industries that rely on the flow of goods, they will be reorganized. By then, Dongshi City Although the geographical location between Xicheng and Xishi will not change, the oil and water will have a lot to say.
As long as we here can persuade the city government to place the most profitable industrial parks in the East City according to the plan I proposed, then the West City will have to accept the situation of clear soup and little water.
And according to my plan, the industries with the most profit and water are indeed the most suitable to be placed in our East Market. After all, who allows our East Market to have ready-made docks and official gates? Even if we expand the scale again, our side will have the advantage..."
The truth is actually not complicated, but the thing is real and new. If Bailang didn't explain it, many things would have to go around a few times before he could figure it out.
So under Bailang's explanation, Liu Xu quickly understood the meaning of the last part of the strategy.
"Bai Lang, you will definitely be credited with this strategy. However, how much credit you deserve will only be known after Zu Dao looks at it. You have to wait."
"Master Liu, I'm satisfied if I can get the Dazhao Dazhen's Dharma with just a small amount of credit. It's up to Master Liu to decide whether I deserve the credit or not. I'll accept that!"
"Haha, you kid!" Liu Xu smiled and nodded. Then he said: "I didn't expect you to complete the promotion task so quickly. Of course you will have no problem with the place you mentioned before, but the two money shops in Dongshi have not been merged yet. You are Should we go over now to help? Or should we wait until the merger is completed?"
"Master Liu, was I a waiter or a gut scraper?"
"Oh, you are the person I pushed over. You represent my office, and you have the credit for this promotion mission. In addition to the follow-up credit for this strategy, how can I let you be a waiter or a scraper?
You go to the town hall and talk directly to Liu She, the shopkeeper of Qianfang. "
