Chapter 333 The book of life and death(2/2)
"That depends on your performance."
"If you don't kill me, Gui Fanlou will kill me."
"The same sentence depends on your performance." Zhao Langjiang said lightly, "At the beginning of Yinyang's construction, this Yinyang formation was built by Guifan Tower. How much do you know?"
Qingluan is in her youth and has a glimmer of hope. How could she not grasp it? She said, "The middle of the Guifan Tower is the Hidden Yang Formation Pivot, which is guarded by eighteen formation slaves. These formation slaves have been passed down from generation to generation and obey the owner of the post."
"Take a turn to guard?"
"Three people in a group, each group has three hours."
Zhao Langjiang said, "This job is easy, but I, as the city lord, do the work of 996, and it is as bleak as a dog."
Qingluan asked: "Do you want to seize the ghost Fanlou?"
Zhao Langjiang smiled, obviously he made accusation.
Guifan Tower is independent of Yinyang City and forms its own power. It protects Yinyang's peace, but it is not in the hands of the city lord.
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
If this problem cannot be solved, Zhao Langjiang will never be at ease in Yinyang City. So in the past six months, he has made various excuses, either infiltrating Guifanlou or causing trouble for Guifanlou, but he has never been able to obtain the method. If he can take Qingluan for his own use, it would be different.
In the entire Yinyang City, I am afraid that there is no one who is more familiar with Guifanlou than her. Now, Qingluan has been abandoned by Guifanlou and cannot tolerate it in the world. Only herself can make her survive.
Zhao Langjiang said lightly, "I'll give you half a year to help me find a way to break through Guifanlou. If you can succeed, you will be the owner of Guifanlou."
When Qingluan heard this, she felt excited.
Li Changgong is his master. Over the years, she has done her best, been careful and worried, afraid of doing something wrong. After she made a mistake, she handed her out ruthlessly to exchange for time for herself. Now that she has the opportunity to take revenge, she will naturally not let it go.
Thinking of this, Qingluan fell to the ground.
"Thank you for your grace to not kill me, Qingluan is willing to go through fire and water for the city lord."
Zhao Langjiang smiled, "Don't you thank me. Don't you want to rob Tianci? From today on, you will be Tianci's maid, protecting his safety with your own eyes."
Qingluan was shocked, "What?"
When she confirmed again from Zhao Langjiang's mouth, she said, "Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to deal with him?"
Zhao Langjiang said, "He is hard-working and cannot die."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Langjiang said something that made her surrender completely.
“From today, you will be inseparable from God.
If Tianci cried for more than a moment, you will die.
If God gives away more than three hairs, you will die.
If Tianci gets injured by bumps and bumps, you will die.
If God gives you a broken arm and a small leg, you will die.
If God gives death, you will be worse than death.”
Zhao Langjiang said again, "You may not agree, I will send you out of the mansion immediately. You must think about it before you answer."
Qingluan looked at Zhao Langjiang. For the past six months, he had been collecting Zhao Langjiang's intelligence, but at this moment, he seemed unable to see through what this man was thinking.
It didn't take long before Qingluan made a decision.
"I promise."
Zhao Langjiang was very satisfied and nodded, "The name Qingluan is not nice. From today on, you can change your name and call it Chunhong."
Qingluan was full of grievance and said, "Thank you to the city lord to give it a name."
"Okay, you go out."
Xiao Jinyan looked at her leaving and said, "This woman seems a little dissatisfied."
Zhao Langjiang said, "This woman is extremely ambitious, but if she can tame her, it will be of great use to me."
Nowadays, I have a lot of things to do. It is not convenient for a group of big men to protect her. It can save a lot of trouble if you can find a maid from Tongxiang for Tianci."
Soon, Mr. Chai rushed in with joy, "City Lord, Guifanlou sent a million taels of silver and was waiting for reply in the front hall."
Zhao Langjiang and others came to the front hall and saw a young man standing there. Seeing him coming, he bowed, "Li Yucai, Yu is Baoyu's jade, and wealth is the wealth of the God of Wealth. We are responsible for managing the money in the building. We have just seen it."
Zhao Langjiang laughed, "You are really the God of Wealth in our Yinyang City."
Li Yucai said: "I will come to send money on my master's order and ask Lord Zhao to send someone to accept it. I have to go back and report it."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Your post is indeed trustworthy and will do what you say. Say to him, Mr. Zhao thanked him and wanted to find him to drink when he has the opportunity."
After saying that, he came to a box, opened it and saw that it was full of gold and silver, which was as large as 30,000 taels. Zhao Langjiang patted the King of Finance on the shoulder and whispered, "I heard that, I have a private house in Baihufang?"
Li Yucai was shocked and thought that he was secretly buying a house in Baihufang. It was extremely secretive and his name was also in someone else's name. Even the poster didn't know about it, but he didn't know how Zhao Langjiang learned it.
Hearing these words, Li Yucai was speechless, "This..."
Zhao Langjiang smiled and said, "It's okay. I understand the rules. I will send someone to the mansion later. They are all in the same city. Everyone is neighbors. They look up and don't look down. Although they are their own masters, I still respect you in private. Everyone has the opportunity to get closer and get closer!"
Li Yucai waved his hand repeatedly and said, "The city lord is so serious. This is absolutely impossible, and it is absolutely impossible!"
"Be polite between you and me?"
"It's better to send it in the middle of the night, no one at that time."
After Li Yucai left, Li Qingcheng looked disdainful and said, "You really have to use other people's money to bribe them! This is not like Zhao Langjiang I know!"
Zhao Langjiang said, "All of you are friends!"
Xiao Jinyan stood in front of a box and repeated, "All friends, all friends!"
Zhao Langjiang slapped his thigh, "Yes, they are all friends. Friends are as light as water. I'll invite you to drink at noon!" He added, "No water!"
Zhao Langjiang said to Chai Gong, "With one million silver, can we postpone the act of issuing debts to Fushen and the major sects in the world?"
Chai Gong looked at him, "No!"
Zhao Langjiang Qi said, "Why?"
Chai Gongwang analyzed, "It was finally difficult for all major sects and wealthy gentry to come here. I have planned all the 970,000 taels and taken out 500,000 as interest. Based on 10% of the annual interest, I can raise 5 million taels and pay the interest first. In this way, why don't everyone flock to it?"
"What should I do after the expiration?"
"We leave next year's interest and raise another 10 million taels!"
Li Qingcheng asked, "Will the deficit get bigger and bigger? What should I do if I can't repay it when it expires?"
Chai Gongwang shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Li is too worried. We are not raising money. We have to mortgage them with the land outside Shitou City and Yinyang City. At that time, we just need to raise the housing price."
"The house prices are getting more and more expensive, won't the people not afford to live in a house?"
Chai Gongwang shook his head and said, "Control the price and then limit the circulation. This is the first thing. Build low-rent housing so that the people have a place to live. This is the second thing. We separate the stone city from north to south. The south city is the residence of rich people, and the north city is the residence of ordinary people. As long as the housing prices appreciate, they will not sell it. What's more, as long as the stone city is a trading city, a large number of people will inevitably pour in, the city will flourish, and wealth will also roll in. The only thing to do is not to fight, and everything will come naturally."
Li Qingcheng thought carefully and said, "It is inappropriate. In the first construction of Stone City, there must be many loopholes and benefits. Some wealthy people take advantage of loopholes and illegal profits, which will cause public resentment?"
Chai Gongwang laughed and said, "That's exactly what it is."
"How do you say this?"
"As long as the military power is in hand, these rich people gather wealth, they will be fattened pigs, and they will not be able to get killed? On the one hand, the common people will be resentful, and on the other hand, they will increase taxes in the city. Wouldn't it be fun to kill two birds with one stone?"
Li Qingcheng was amazed, "Duke Chai, how much is the monthly salary in the city lord's mansion?"
Chai Gong looked at him, "Silver money is five taels and seven cents."
Li Qingcheng said, "I will give you a monthly salary of 57 taels. Why not go to the Li family in Jinling and help us manage the accounting?"
"This..." Chai Gong looked at Zhao Langjiang, and saw that he was full of murderous aura and was staring at him. Chai Gong Wang said righteously, "Mr. Chai is a real man. A real man stands between heaven and earth. He should do something and not do anything. Lord Zhao treats me well. Mr. Chai is not willing to be a traitor for the time being!"
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "The word "temporary" is very useful."
Zhao Langjiang murmured, "For the time being, for the time being..."
Mr. Chai looked at Lian and said, "The city lord's clarity and the word "temporary" is the same as Mr. Chai, which means he is in his lifetime."
Zhao Langjiang nodded, "You can talk, starting from next month, your monthly salary will be ten taels!"
Chai Gongwang took the pen and ink and wrote a piece of paper, "Please sign the money." Zhao Langjiang reluctantly wrote the name. Chai Gongwang dryed the ink, carefully folded it, put it in his arms, and bowed to Li Qingcheng, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
...
For two consecutive days, Zhao Langjiang held a banquet on the street in front of the city lord's mansion. The sects of the rivers and lakes, officials from the nineteen cities, and the rich and powerful people from the village came to congratulate them. They were happy and almost drank all the wine from Yinyang City. In the end, Zhao Langjiang had to mix water in the wine.
Chai Gong hopes to take the opportunity to launch the Shitou City bond, which is a thousand taels per share. The threshold set by setting up will exclude most people. As long as one is paid, you can collect 100 taels of interest every year. The interest in the first year is prepaid in advance, and there are several lands that can also enjoy the tax incentives of Shitou City.
This move quickly spread to the surrounding counties and prefectures. On the third day, he had already collected 4.5 million taels, and there was still a shortage of 500,000 taels away from the goal of 5 million. Zhao Langjiang coaxed and forced Li Qingcheng to subscribe to 500,000 taels and asked him to write an IOU.
Zhao Langjiang handed over the IOU to Xiao Jinyan, "I will give you the 500,000 taels to pursue. If I can get it back, I will give you ten thousand taels."
Xiao Jinyan was dissatisfied, "I understand the rules, how can I give Li Yucai three hundred draws, but I give me two hundred draws?"
Zhao Langjiang said, "You saved my life and saved God's life. I will deduct you five thousand taels, give you another five thousand taels, collect ten thousand taels, and give you one more tael, which is our thank you."
"Isn't this Chai Gongwang's idea?"
Zhao Langjiang said disdainfully, "He has this brain?"
Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang have been living in the city lord's mansion, together with Si Yun Jiangxue. The mother and daughter recognize each other, and at first they are a bit a little bit old, but after all, the blood is thicker than water. After only a few days, they are already very harmonious. Xiao Jinyan found an opportunity to tell Yu Wenshuang that when the Water Moon Cave Heaven was, Yu Wenshuang came from a famous family and knew the general, but she had to give him some advice to be careful of the demon girl of the Demon Sect.
