Chapter 201 Beiqian Chamber of Commerce
After everyone entered the County Magistrate's Mansion, Lu Wushuang, who was standing at the door, reacted.
"Miss, we..." Wu Wei behind him just opened his mouth, and Lu Wushuang walked straight into the mansion.
Wu Wei shook his head helplessly and followed him in.
How could he not see that Lu Fan didn't like Lu Wushuang, his cheap cousin, but his eldest daughter insisted on getting close to him.
This made people very helpless.
And Lu Fan and his party had already come to the front hall of the County Magistrate's Mansion and sat down.
Lu Fan sat in the main seat, and the others sat on the left and right sides, all with smiles on their faces.
When Lu Wushuang brought Wu Wei in, everyone's eyes fell on them.
Lu Fan's brows frowned directly.
He had a very bad impression of Lu Wushuang, or even a very bad one.
Originally, he still cared about the cheap fourth uncle, the King of Pingxi, but now he didn't need to.
And he also believed that the King of Pingxi would never turn against him because of Lu Wushuang, or do anything extreme.
After all, he didn't kill Lu Wushuang, he just didn't like him.
That cheap fourth uncle didn't support him at most, what else could he do?
Anyway, he didn't support him before, so his attitude didn't matter at all.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan looked at Lu Wushuang with a colder look.
Just when Lu Fan was about to ask Lu Wushuang to leave, Lu Wushuang spoke first:
"Royal brother, if you have something to do, go ahead, I will discuss important things with you later."
After saying this, Lu Wushuang took Wu Wei out of the front hall.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan swallowed back the words he hadn't said yet.
The eyes of everyone in the hall also focused on Lu Fan again.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Fan gathered his thoughts, looked at Li Si and asked in a deep voice:
"Tonggu, tell me about the current situation of Hanyang City!"
Before he left, he handed Hanyang City to Jiang Shang, Li Si and Qin Qiong.
But a few days ago, Jiang Shang arrived at Beimang Pass from Hanyang City and handed over all matters to Li Si.
So it was a test for him to ask Li Si directly at this moment.
Li Si stood up after hearing this, bowed to Lu Fan, and then began to tell the story:
"My lord, during this period, we have checked and supplemented the missing personnel in the County Governor's Office, and recruited some people to join the Guard Army and the Patrol Guard..."
With Li Si's extremely detailed introduction, Lu Fan had a general understanding of the current situation in Hanyang City.
In general, the current Hanyang City is more complete and is changing in a good direction.
After all, the previous County Governor's Office existed in name only, and the entire Hanyang City was basically in a state of being leaderless.
In addition to the full staffing of the County Governor's Office, the Guard Army and the Patrol Guard have recruited new troops.
Before, the entire northern border was extremely difficult, without food and military pay, and it was impossible to recruit troops.
So the reserve of the Zhenbei Army could only serve as the Guard Army, and the original Guard Army was assigned to the Patrol Guard.
But now that we have accumulated a certain amount of experience, we naturally need to recruit new guards and patrol guards.
After all, the reserve forces of the Zhenbei Army are a supplement to the Zhenbei Army and must be incorporated into the combat corps at any time.
It is a waste to use such elite forces as guards.
Of course, the more important reason is that this way we can recruit people to expand the team legitimately.
After all, whether it is the reserve forces, the guards, or the patrol guards, there are a certain number of establishments.
The previous county governors were not qualified and capable of expansion, and such an opportunity was wasted in vain.
But Lu Fan would not miss this opportunity.
After all, whether it is to control Daqian or to conquer the world, sufficient troops are needed.
After Li Si finished his introduction, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes turned to Shen Wansan.
Without waiting for Lu Fan to ask, Shen Wansan took the initiative to stand up and salute and began to report.
"My lord, during this period of time, I took over all the industries that originally belonged to the four major families, and after integration, I established the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce..."
Originally, the Sun family and the Zhao family planned to surrender to Lu Fan, but they were all slaughtered by the members of the Holy Church.
So the four major families in Hanyang City have become a thing of the past.
Although the four major families were destroyed, there are still many industries left by the four major families.
After all, the four major families have been entrenched in Hanyang City for more than a hundred years, occupying the four major areas of Hanyang City.
These four major areas have almost become the sole property of the four major families, and most of the shops in the area are also in the hands of the four major families.
Some of these shops are rented out at high prices, and some of the four major families use them for their own business, earning countless resources every year.
But now these shops and the mansions of the four major families and other industries have been taken over by the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce founded by Shen Wansan.
Of course, there are many people in the city who are jealous of these industries, and they have tried to find Shen Wansan to coerce and bribe them.
But after Shen Wansan took Lu Chuan and dozens of golden fire cavalrymen to kill more than a dozen people.
These people with ill intentions immediately stopped.
Because they knew that the person standing behind Shen Wansan was Lu Fan, the prince.
It is true that they want the industries left by the four major families, but they cherish their lives more.
In addition to taking over the industries of the four major families, Shen Wansan also arranged for people to start collecting spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines for brewing Drunken Immortal Wine.
Because Drunken Immortal Wine is a seventh-grade spiritual wine, the materials required are all top-notch, and the worst are sixth-grade spiritual medicines and other resources.
It will take some time to collect all these resources.
After Shen Wansan finished his report, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Beiqian Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to you. There is only one goal, that is to earn resources."
"Yes, my lord!"
Looking at Shen Wansan who bowed, Lu Fan became more and more satisfied.
Although Beiqian Chamber of Commerce has not earned much resources yet, and Zuixian Wine has not been brewed.
But it has been on the right track, and with the industries left by the four major families as a foundation, it is absolutely certain that resources will continue to be earned.
Then Lu Fan briefly asked Qin Qiong and Gu Tiefeng, and the two gave the same answer.
It's just that Qin Qiong and Gu Tiefeng are more responsible.
After all, one of them is responsible for the guard of Hanyang City, and the other is responsible for the Zhenbei Army Camp, and there are no major changes.
As for Cao Zhengchun, Lu Fan did not ask.
After all, the things Cao Zhengchun is responsible for are relatively secretive, and he doesn't want too many people to know.
After understanding the situation, Lu Fan introduced Xiahou Dun, Pang De, Gu Qing and others to Li Si, Qin Qiong and others, and they got to know each other.
After all, they were all family members, so both sides were naturally very enthusiastic.
After doing all this, Lu Fan pondered for a moment, and immediately looked at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice:
"Starting tomorrow, we will officially recruit people to build a new army, with a tentative number of 300,000. This matter will be handled by Jiang Shang, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng, and Li Si will assist..."
When Lu Fan said this news, Qin Qiong, Li Si, Luo Cheng, Gu Tiefeng and others were all shocked beyond words...
