Chapter 539 You are harming the country
Concubine Wan shook her head: "Is there any letter from my father?"
"The Grand Tutor has a memorial, saying that the Imperial Guards in the city should be transferred to the Weicheng to assist in the defense. I have already sent someone to inform Prince Rui."
"Is the war really that bad?"
"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor means that we can hold on for a while."
Concubine Wan's two beautiful eyes shone brightly in the darkness.
"So Lin Feng really let go of the court?"
Zhu Qisheng said softly, "This man is extremely greedy and always asks for an official position. The emperor doesn't want to overindulge his ministers, so..."
Concubine Wan shook her head: "The Emperor has no idea. I guess my father is unwilling to let go of the Imperial Guards."
"The Grand Master may be confident that he can stop the rebels, so he is not threatened by this person."
Concubine Wan turned her head and looked at the emperor who was still sleeping.
"Eunuch Zhu, could you secretly issue an imperial decree to reward Lin Feng?"
Zhu Qisheng shrank back: "I dare not, this is the crime of deceiving the king, I dare not..."
"Alas, you...are harming the country..."
Zhu Qisheng's eyes rolled. "Your Majesty, you can summon Prince Rui to come over for this matter. Perhaps he can persuade the Emperor."
"But how can we discuss things with the Emperor in this state?"
Zhu Qisheng lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"It's a good time to discuss things."
Concubine Wan was very smart, and a smile appeared on her fair face.
"Eunuch Zhu, send someone to summon Prince Rui to an audience."
"Yes, I will go and tell you right away."
The battle between the Imperial Guards of Dazong and the rebel army of King Fu was in full swing in the Kyoto Acropolis.
However, Lin Feng launched his institutional reform in Tianzhi City and carried out drastic reforms in the four prefectures and counties except Zhenxi Prefecture.
Wen Cheng is still the person primarily responsible for institutional reform.
Bai Jing also brought the necessary production materials to Tianzhifu City.
What she is facing now is no longer just Zhenxi Prefecture, but the five prefectures, and the things are numerous and complicated.
Bai Jing’s main job was to open branches of Qingfeng Silver Industry in the four prefectures within a short period of time.
Select the right staff and open for business in the near future.
Since its opening, Qingfeng Silver has seen an increasing volume of business, with more and more people coming to the village to deposit and borrow money.
In order to reduce the occurrence of bad debts, Bai Jing had to make careful choices and strictly check the repayment ability of loan customers.
This work is quite important and also quite difficult.
Not only does it require the ability to handle things independently, but it also requires strong hands-on skills, detailed investigation, meticulous thinking, etc. This job is not something that ordinary people can do.
Therefore, talents in this area are very scarce, resulting in many branches having very little loan business, only storage business.
Bai Jing told Lin Feng many times that this would result in a huge imbalance in income and expenditure and would result in a large loss.
Lin Feng asked her to engage in mortgage loan business. As long as there is something valuable, a loan can be obtained by mortgaging it.
Although this alleviates some of the lending pressure, it also reduces a large part of the loan interest.
Compared with Qingfeng Silver's business model, it has become a routine in the bulk market, and many silver shops have begun to imitate it.
Those who come to handle storage business will receive more or less interest, and no storage management fees will be charged.
Ever since Wen Cheng and Bai Jing came to Tianzhi Prefecture City, Lin Feng has once again become a hands-off boss.
At Lin Feng's repeated request, Bai Jing finally took some time off to accompany Lin Feng for a walk on the street.
Bai Jing's hair was a little fluffy and her clothes had a few wrinkles.
Lin Feng felt a little guilty, thinking that he had put too much pressure on this woman, making her too tired to cope with it and no longer wearing exquisite makeup.
"Bai Jing, if you're too tired, why not take a break for a while?"
Bai Jing smiled and said, "Brother, do you think I'm not pretty anymore?"
"She's still beautiful, but she's neglected in her appearance."
Bai Jing looked at Lin Feng seriously: "Brother, I feel fulfilled and every day is full. When you are not around, I don't feel empty and sad."
"Haha, this way you don't have to think about me."
"Well, your business takes up all my time."
"It seems I only have myself to blame."
Bai Jing bowed to Lin Feng sincerely: "Brother, thank you."
"Well, I didn't expect you to be such a career-oriented woman. Think of me when you have free time in the future."
"That being said, you are in my heart all the time, don't worry."
Bai Jing smiled mischievously.
Lin Feng asked seriously, "Is the silver shop's business suffering a big loss?"
"Well, the losses are huge, but they can be made up from other places."
“What are the main areas of supplementation?”
Bai Jing moved closer to Lin Feng: "Have you forgotten Zhu Jie?"
"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this kid. It's a big gain, isn't it?"
"He is indeed very capable, but he suffered a little loss a few days ago and is resting at home."
Lin Feng turned to look at Bai Jing in surprise.
"That kid is quite smart and agile. Is there anyone who can make him suffer?"
"My brother once said, 'If you stand by the river too often, you'll get your feet wet.' He even went to Lindu to rob people, but he got beaten up."
Lin Feng frowned: "Is it heavy?"
"The injuries aren't serious, but the psychological trauma is quite severe. I swear to seek revenge."
Lin Feng sighed: "Let him be quiet for a while. When his injury heals, I will arrange some other work for him. Let's stop this business."
Bai Jing was surprised: "Why, you don't want him to do it anymore?"
"Well, there's no need to do this anymore. The people of Zhenxi are becoming increasingly wealthy, and taxes have already been collected. Xixia Yinzhou has also obtained mining rights for several minerals. With a large source of funds, we can already support our expenses."
"Then let him follow me?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Zhu Jie was originally a county lieutenant, I'm afraid he needs to be promoted to a higher rank."
"Is being an official so good for you men?"
"Yes, as long as you can become an official, you have everything. This is an indisputable fact."
Bai Jing thought for a moment and said, "How about letting him choose for himself?"
"You really think highly of him."
"This kid has a quick mind and is a good material for getting things done."
"Okay, no bribes allowed."
Bai Jing rolled her eyes at Lin Feng.
"That's it."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "The main reason is that I'm short of manpower now."
The two of them strolled along the street and went to a pub for lunch.
Put aside all your worries and enjoy your leisure time.
It was only when they were eating in the tavern that Bai Jing discovered that the woman who had been following them came up to them.
Carefully observe every dish served by the tavern waiter.
Even tea, bowls, chopsticks, cups, etc. were not spared.
Bai Jing waited until she finished the inspection and stepped back before carefully asking Lin Feng.
"Why, is it dangerous for us to come out?"
Lin Feng smiled calmly: "Danger is everywhere. I have become the target of public criticism. Everyone wants to try their luck here."
"Who is the opponent?"
"There are many, including Prince Fu, the Black Scarf Society, and probably some bigwigs in the court."
When Bai Jing heard him say this, anxiety appeared on her white jade-like face.
"Let's not eat here. It'll be the same if we go back."
