One day has passed since the Kraken attacked the city. As the sun rises, Leya City has returned to its former prosperity.
Pingbo Pier.
The same porters sneaked behind the cargo pile, looked around cautiously, took out crumpled banknotes from their arms again, and handed them to Chu Pingbo.
"Brother Chu, this is my share!"
"I didn't spend a penny, it's all here!"
"Brother Chu, this is mine!"
At this moment, Chu Xiong's voice sounded: "What are you doing?"
Everyone was startled and turned around to see Chu Xiong walking over with a serious look on his face.
Chu Pingbo sighed; "Dad, we are members of the port..."
Chu Xiong raised the cigarette rod, and Chu Pingbo subconsciously wanted to run away. He saw Chu Xiong pull out a wad of silver notes from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Pingbo: "Here, this is my share! Save some for your grandson. Property!"
…
The corners of Yang Qianli's mouth almost reached his temples.
After Wuhou handed over the issue of the port's stock offering to himself, all the old neighbors came to the door and said good things as if they didn't need money. They just wanted to buy some shares of Leya Port in a roundabout way.
Don't talk about the sea monster, didn't you see that the Zhenhai Monument was standing there?
Some brave young people went to see it, and when they came back they said that the stone monument was still screaming, roaring! The scream is so majestic!
Of course, Yang Qianli didn't dare to show favoritism, he just said to write down the list. Whether he can buy it or not depends on Dongcang City's old policy.
Lottery!
Unfortunately, the shares allocated to Leyacheng are too few, only one million shares!
What kind of place is Leyacheng? The main distribution center for north-south trade. Ten million shares are not enough here!
I heard that the certificate worth ten taels of silver per share has been sold to one hundred taels!
What a cannibalistic world this is!
At this time, Chen Luo yawned and walked out slowly.
That chiki was so clingy that he even returned to Leyacheng. Its voice still echoed in his ears, making him unable to sleep well all night.
Bixi is still stable, hardworking and uncomplaining, and lives a good life without being clingy.
"Hey, good morning!" Chen Luo greeted, and Yang Qianli frowned.
Mr. Hou, it’s obviously noon. Your good morning has simply wiped out all my hard work all morning!
Yang Qianli quickly stood up and stepped forward: "Master Hou, I think there is a problem."
Chen Luo sat on his seat, took the refreshing tea from the maid, blew on the tea leaves, and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Our share distribution is too small." Yang Qianli said quickly.
"Currently there are only one million shares, which is enough for even ordinary citizens to digest. Those big families haven't entered the market yet."
"Morning, it's a normal person's morning. The young master of the Lu family even approached Beizhi, saying that the Lu family was also the first to surrender. Can he buy more than ten or two hundred thousand shares first? Beizhi didn't dare to agree."
"There are also heads of other families who have sent people to inquire about the humble post. They want to buy in large quantities. I wonder if the Marquis is willing to accommodate."
"Master Hou, look..."
Chen Luo drank a cup of hot tea and smiled softly: "Three million shares, one million was given to Dongcang, one million was given to other state capitals, and the remaining one million was given to Leya. Where should I go? Turn out excess port shares."
"Isn't it enough for those wealthy families in Leya to eat the He family?"
Yang Qianli also looked helpless: "But if we exclude them, there will always be a hidden danger in the future."
Chen Luo put down his tea cup: "Don't worry! I have my own arrangements!"
"Go and send a message to all the heads of each family, telling them that I, Chen Luo, have something good to do to see them. Don't wait until it's too late!"
"yes!"
…
Shi family.
Shi En was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth anxiously in the main hall.
The He family fell overnight, giving Shi En a great sense of crisis.
As one of the three major families in Leyacheng, the Shi family has always followed the footsteps of the He family. Now that the He family was ransacked and wiped out by the City Lord's Mansion, the Lu family had already defected to the City Lord's Mansion to help Chen Luo, and the only remaining Shi family had become a conspicuous target.
To live or not to live, that is the question.
Shi En almost didn't bother to fight for the bodies of the He family. He immediately contacted Yang Qianli and offered to help with the construction of Leya Port with half of his family property, but Yang Qianli refused.
He also asked Yang Qianli for help and let him meet with Wuhou, but the reply he received was that there was always something shouting in Wuhou's ears, and he disappeared when he was not in good spirits.
Listen, is this the reason?
Is there something always shouting in your ears? Isn't this just a matter of not even bothering to think of serious reasons for rejection and just perfunctoryly dealing with it?
It can be seen from this that Wuhou has a very bad impression of the Shi family!
Shi En also felt a hundred and twenty regrets at this time. Thinking about it carefully, why did he want to fight Wu Hou?
In terms of background, he is a close disciple of a saint, a double prince of Daxuan, his literary reputation is spread all over the world, he is a founder of martial arts, and he is a figure sought after by both Confucianism and Taoism.
In terms of strength, not to mention the awakening warrior forces, just speaking of the twenty Hundred Battles Great Scholars and the First-Rank Wuli Great Sage brought this time, who is the opponent in Leya City?
In terms of influence, haven’t you seen that when he published a public newspaper, families all over the world took action? It is said that in today's army, everyone from the great Confucians to the soldiers regard him as half a division.
Why was I so blinded at that time that I wanted to follow the He family and fight against Wuhou?
There is also an illusion that Wuhou is just like this and our side will win?
The He family must have cast a spell of ecstasy on themselves!
By the way, the He family's tea tastes weird, it must be the ecstasy soup!
"Master!" The housekeeper rushed in, startling Shi En.
"Oh, I'm...scared to death. What's the matter?"
The housekeeper hurriedly handed over the message: "Sir, Marquis Chen Wu has sent a message to our family, inviting you to come and have a chat!"
"What?" Shi En was shocked. Looking at the post in the butler's hand, his heart suddenly beat a little faster.
"I want to take a bath and change clothes, burn incense and wash my eyes, and then come and read the post from Marquis Wu!"
The butler looked helpless: "Master, the person who sent the message said that it will start in an hour, and we will not wait if it is late."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Shi En was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Go...get some water. I have to wash my hands no matter what, and then read again! Go quickly!"
"Yes Yes!"
…
Chen Luo held the pen and wrote and drew on the paper.
As an important exit of Dongcang City, Leyacheng holds a great deal of importance in Chen Luo's heart. Before land transportation takes shape, Leyacheng will be the point-to-point docking place for Dongcang City, and will also be the hub for future Cangwu shipping. The first hub port of the line.
How is it possible to just use a seaport to get rid of it?
If it weren't for Leyacheng only recruiting brides and not giving dowries, I would have been more or less interested in Princess Pingyang.
Speaking of which, the princess was also ruthless. She would immediately kill the scholar if she caught the slightest mistake. When she returned to the city, the He family had already been ransacked, so she was quick and easy. In addition, the cooperation with him is perfect.
Alas, I have no chance with the little rich woman!
Chen Luo sighed, and Yang Qianli stood outside the door and knocked on the door: "Master Hou, all the heads of the families are here!"
…
The heads of the wealthy families in Leyacheng met again.
It's so rare. I vaguely remember that the last time we met in such a lively manner was yesterday.
In the lobby of the He family!
Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns; I don’t know where the person’s face is, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.
However, at this time, the protagonist of all the stars has become Lu Changle.
It is worthy of being the longest-established family, making sure bets!
Now that I think about what Lu Changle said at He's house yesterday, they are indeed very interesting...
"Master Lu, we were also deceived by the He family. You must correct us in front of the Marquis later!"
"Yes, yes, Master Lu, I remember that ten years ago you said that my little girl was very well-behaved. Is she a good match for your young master?"
"Brother Lu, let's not talk about anything else. Some of the shops on Qinglong Street are unable to take care of them. I wonder if Brother Lu intends to take over?"
"Brother Lu..."
While everyone was having a lively exchange, Yang Qianli trotted out and shouted: "The Marquis is here!"
All the family heads fell silent and saw Chen Luoshi walking out.
"I've met the Marquis!"
All the heads of the family saluted together, and Chen Luo waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you're welcome, please sit down."
Everyone waited for Chen Luo to sit down before taking their seats. Everyone only dared to sit on half of the seats and looked at Chen Luo with bated breath.
Chen Luo was about to speak when he suddenly felt a strange gaze looking at him. Looking sideways, he saw that Shi En's eyes were full of energy, and there seemed to be half a thousand words in his eyes.
Chen Luo felt a chill in his heart and asked Yang Qianli quietly: "Who is that?"
"Well...the head of the Shi family!"
"Shi family? Which Shi family?"
"The Shi family who first said yesterday that the Confucian scholar would not leave the city was scolded by you, Lord Marquis, in your poem!"
"Oh, that's how it is……"
The conversation between Chen Luo and Yang Qianli was naturally heard by all the family heads present. Shi En's face turned red and he quickly explained: "Master Hou, I...I..."
"Okay, okay, it's okay!" Chen Luo waved his hand, "Everyone is very busy, let's get down to business."
When everyone heard Chen Luo's words, they all sat upright.
"I know everyone is interested in the harbor's shares, but I'm sorry, I will only distribute the one million shares to civilians. It is a civilian port."
As soon as Chen Luo said these words, there was some commotion in the hall. Chen Luo didn't care and handed the drawing he had just drawn to Lu Changle, signaling Lu Changle to pass it around.
"Although the land I bought from the princess is outside the city, it is still quite large. Therefore, I plan to build a seaport town with the seaport as the center."
"Share in the harbor town..."
"Master Marquis, my Shi family claims half of it!" Shi En shouted quickly!
When the other family heads heard this, they all shouted: "Send mercy, don't talk nonsense, you want half of it and you won't let others live!"
"Master Hou, I, the Hu family, can give you 20 million taels of cash at any time!"
"My Zhang family will pay 25 million taels!"
"My Li family will give me 30 million taels!"
Chen Luo frowned, and Yang Qianli quickly shouted: "Quiet!"
Everyone calmed down, and Chen Luo said slowly: "When the budget comes out, there will be a notice."
"I have 40% of Dongcang City, 30% of the Leya City Lord's Mansion, and the remaining 30%, you can discuss it among yourself!"
"Okay, now that we've finished talking, you can all go about your business."
Chen Luo stood up, cupped his hands, and left the hall directly.
…
Finally, done!
Chen Luochang breathed a sigh of relief. He would go to Yanqiu to visit Princess Pingyang later and then return to Dongcang.
The affairs of Leyacheng will be left to Yang Qianli to continue handling, and some personnel will be sent from Dongcang later.
Leya is prosperous, but after all it is not as friendly as Dongcang.
Soon, Dongcang will not lose to Le Ya!
Chen Luo looked at all the great scholars, smiled slightly, bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your hard work on this trip."
All the great scholars also returned the greeting and said, "I am willing to serve you, Lord Marquis!"
Chen Luo showed a bright smile: "Let's go home!"
"Hahaha, what the Marquis said is, go home!" All the great scholars laughed.
There is a saying:
Going south to Leya is for navigation, and the beautiful lady from Yanqiu is visiting.
Interests are motivating across rivers and seas, and demons and monsters are blocking the opening of the port.
The sea monster steps on the sea and stirs up the stormy waves, and Wuhou uses his pen to calm the huge waves.
Good things always come with storms, and after the rain, the sky will clear again.
