Early the next morning, Liu Quan made a special trip to the Qiongzhou government office and met with Fu Xian and Tan Junyan to learn more about the map.
Her intention was not complicated, she just wanted to find out the reasons behind Liu Jincheng's windfall. She had a vague feeling that there might be some unknown tricks hidden in it.
Anyway, let’s do some understanding first.
Ask one by one.
Fu Xian's feedback was relatively intuitive and was basically the same as Huang's description. There were no special clues found in his words.
Next is Tan Junyan.
As a household manager, he is in charge of the taxation and finance of the jurisdiction, and he is also familiar with the daily large-scale gold transactions. It was based on this consideration that Liu Quan approached him.
What if there is something new discovered?
Don’t tell me, it really happened this time!
Under questioning, Tan Junyan not only revealed the source of Harry's gold, but also the specific amount of the wealth.
It can be seen from this that he understands some relevant internal reasons.
Liu Quan was not interested in the amount of gold at all. What she was concerned about was whether the source of the money was innocent.
"Innocent! Absolutely innocent!" Regarding this principled question, Tan Junyan directly gave an affirmative answer.
"Oh, please elaborate." Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief before adding.
"This gold was obtained from the seizure of Prince Yong's Mansion after the Tuen Mun Battle. Mr. Qi and Harry divided this huge wealth according to their respective proportions according to their prior agreement. Afterwards, Harry was worried that he would be alone.
, couldn't keep the gold, so he stored it in my house in Qiongzhou. These are the specific sources of the money in Harry's hands." Tan Junyan explained in detail.
Liu Quan nodded when he heard this and continued to ask: "One thing I don't understand is, since this gold is stored in your house, why is it circulating outside?"
"Oh, that's it. During Mr. Qi's attack on Luzon, Harry came to me specifically and said that he wanted to get back the gold he had deposited. Since he had Mr. Qi's autographed IOU at that time, I had no reason to
He refused and returned the gold to him."
After a pause, Tan Junyan continued: "After Harry got the gold, he came to me again and said that he was willing to use the money in his hand to buy a large merchant ship from our government. I remember that I was cautious at the time, but considering
What he purchased was not a battleship, so he let down his guard and agreed to it. After brokering this transaction, the gold in his hand was almost exhausted, and the amount in circulation should not be very large."
So that’s it!
Haha, you have spent all the people's savings on a merchant ship, and the asking price is definitely not low. It seems a bit unsincere.
However, Liu Quan didn't pay attention to this. As long as she knew the origin of the money was innocent, she would be relieved.
…
Time flies, spring turns to summer, and the weather becomes hotter and hotter.
It's not even the Dragon Boat Festival yet, but the steaming heat has already made people a little impatient, especially the cicadas shouting in the early morning, making sleeping in a luxury.
However, today is special. No one is willing to stay in bed and everyone gets up very early.
Because today is a special day.
Oh? What kind of special method?
There are rumors that today, the first Qinlou Chu Restaurant in Qiongzhou Prefecture’s Xincheng District officially opens.
drink!!
This, this, this is definitely huge news that makes all men feel "shocked".
As we all know, not long after the Qiongzhou earthquake, the only serious brothel in Fucheng closed down due to dwindling customer base. Since then, there has been no more coquettish laughter in the city. Who would have thought that this
Special industries are now "reorganizing the country and waiting for future generations".
It was learned that this was a generous investment from a big businessman from the Mainland. It was a huge sum of money. The luxurious decoration inside and outside the brothel was almost comparable to the palace of a prince.
As we all know, wealthy places can attract foreign investment. This is the natural law of business development and is understandable.
From a long-term perspective, this is definitely a good phenomenon, and only by continuing to expand in this way will Qiongzhou's wealth accumulate more and more.
Therefore, Qi Dalang is very supportive of this.
According to Tan Junyan, who approved the project, the wealthy businessman approached him no less than ten times, and he only allowed it to operate after repeated deliberation.
He believes that there are three benefits, and it is unreasonable to disagree.
Oh? Which three are they?
Let’s listen to his analysis:
First, although Mr. Qi personally does not like visiting brothels, he has not explicitly banned this industry, so opening a brothel does not violate his governance strategy.
Second, as the saying goes, the person who is in his position will seek his own government. As a successor, I have to find a job for those Annan women stranded in Qiongzhou, right? You always let people be idle and leisurely, and this is not a problem.
Yeah. So, it is urgent to solve the employment problem.
Third, this industry is neither noisy nor polluting, and will not hinder economic progress. It can also increase local popularity and generate tax revenue. With such a beneficial thing, why not do it?
With these three benefits lying there, how could you not pick them up yourself?
As a result, Qiongzhou began to move from current prosperity to future prosperity.
After a loud bang, the unveiling ceremony of ‘Wenxiang Pavilion’ officially kicked off.
Special guests appeared one after another, some gave generous speeches, some warmly congratulated each other, and they all looked like spring breeze and were full of passion. After completing the formality, they were dragged by the turbulent madam to 'inspect the goods'.
"Oh, I've only been away for a few days, and Qiongzhou Prefecture has already started to launch new business..."
"Oh, if I had known this, I should have banned it from the beginning..."
Qi Yu, who had returned from exploring Dawan, was observing in the dark with a rather unhappy look on his face.
It can be seen that he has no interest in this ancient and elegant traditional industry at all.
Gao Zhongde, who was standing next to him, saw this and quickly tried to persuade him, saying: "Master Qi, these brothel girls are all from outside Annan. They will never bring down our local girls. Since they are harmless, just turn a blind eye."
Eyes."
After Qi Yu looked at him with shining eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, and then nodded silently.
Gao Zhongde burst out laughing when he saw this, and praised him several times, "Your Majesty is wise."
Tsk! One look at you, you look like a primitive animal that thinks with its lower body.
No future.
Whatever.
You guys hug your pretty little girls, and I’ll go home and hug my good wife!
Qi Yu chuckled heartily and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw a yellow light drifting across his field of vision.
What is it, so eye-catching?
Looking closely, I saw several foreigners with golden retriever lions.
"Huh? That man looks familiar. Who is he... Oh, I remembered it, Andre."
"Why did he come to Qiongzhou? Could it be that he came here because of its reputation and came here specially to taste the taste of Annan noodles?"
wrong!
How can this birdman, who has thousands of chickens to deal with every day, choose the distance instead of the near?
He must have other things to do when he came to Qiongzhou.
Suddenly!
A pleasant past incident came to mind.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu chuckled and whispered to Gao Zhongde beside him.
