Qi Feihong returned to his residence and saw Qian Zhirou busy cleaning the room, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Rou'er."
Qian Zhirou saw Qi Feihong coming out of seclusion and said with a smile: "Feihong, have you come out of seclusion? How is it? How is your practice this time?"
Qi Feihong said: "Alchemy has been a little successful, and I have barely gotten started. However, the quality of the elixirs refined is not good. The master's wife said that we need to practice more in the future to become a real alchemist. The practice of swordsmanship is not as good as before.
The foundation is there, and the progress is quite fast. But there is still a long way to go before we can meet the requirements of the second master."
Qian Zhirou smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's only been three months. Just make progress, but don't dare to think about reaching the sky in one step."
Qi Feihong said: "How is the construction of the Guangming Palace going? Have you visited Master recently?"
Qian Zhirou nodded: "I just went there yesterday. The construction of Guangming Palace will be completed soon. Master has already brought all the brothers there. Master asked you to go and sit down when you have time. He said that there are some things that need to be done.
Discuss with you."
Qi Feihong said: "I have been very busy recently. When I am free, I will go to see Master. By the way, during the period of my retreat, have Senior Brother Jiang Jun and the others come to Feihu City?"
Qian Zhirou said: "We have arrived a long time ago. Senior Brother came with Shijian and Shicha. After arriving, he went to the recruit camp to train new recruits. I only met them once and left before I had time to talk to them.
.Why don't we have a banquet tonight, invite them to come and sit down, and by the way, you can also ask if the master is okay."
Qi Feihong smiled: "Rou'er, you've made the arrangements. Anyway, I have some things to talk to Senior Brother tonight, so I'll invite them to come and sit with me."
Qian Zhirou smiled slightly: "Then I will make arrangements now. Feihong, I heard that Feihu City is in urgent need of spirit coins and has reached the point where it has to use combat readiness spirit coins. Do you know? What do you need me to do for you?
?”
Qi Feihong said: "I just found out. Don't worry, these are all trivial matters, I will solve them quickly. There are many rich people in Feihu City. After tonight, they will take out the spirit coins and hand them over
Our city lord's palace is used to develop Feihu City."
Qian Zhirou was stunned: "Are you planning to tax them, or are you going to demand it by force? This is not possible. We have just arrived and have not yet established a firm foothold. If we do this, it will cause riots and shake your position."
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "How could I do this? I am planning to open a bank and let rich people deposit their spiritual coins into the bank opened by the Lord's Mansion of Feihu City, and use the money to train our soldiers.
Protect Feihu City."
Qian Zhirou asked curiously: "Are they willing to deposit the spiritual coins in the bank?"
"Don't worry, they will be willing." Qi Feihong smiled so confidently that even Qian Zhirou was stunned...
Qi Feihong is not someone who talks nonsense. He wants to imitate the banks on earth, giving interest to rich people, letting rich people deposit their spiritual coins in the bank he opened, and use the money to do things. Feihu City was once a red city.
There must be many rich people in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, and there must be some people who are willing to deposit their money in banks to earn interest.
Qi Feihong did what he said and immediately called Li Quan and ordered Li Quan to write down a notice and announce to the whole city that the city lord's palace had opened a bank.
At the same time, Qi Feihong ordered people to free up a palace in the city lord's palace to serve as the official bank of the city lord's palace in Feihu City, attracting wealthy people in Feihu City to deposit their spiritual coins with him.
Li Quan didn't quite understand what Qi Feihong did, but he still followed Qi Feihong's request and wrote a notice and posted it. He also found an empty palace in the city lord's palace, led people to simply decorate it, and hung up an inscription
With the plaque "Feihu City Official Bank", the palace became Feihu City Official Bank.
These preparations were quickly completed. Before the dinner started, Li Quan reported to Qi Feihong. Qi Feihong confidently said to Li Quan: "Go and invite all the famous rich people in the city to come to the dinner. I have something to say."
Talk to them tonight."
Li Quan knew what Qi Feihong wanted to do, and went directly to invite the wealthy people in Feihu City to a dinner party without saying a word. Qi Feihong was confident, and while greeting the guests who arrived first, he asked Qian Zhirou to tell the kitchen to prepare a few more tables of delicious food. After a while,
He wants to invite more guests to the banquet.
Although Qian Zhirou was surprised that she didn't know what Qi Feihong wanted to do, she didn't ask any more questions. She just followed Qi Feihong's instructions and ordered people to prepare a few more tables of food and drinks.
Shortly after nightfall, the area around the City Lord's Mansion became quiet. This was the norm and people's respect for the City Lord's Mansion. But at this time, the City Lord's Mansion was very lively, with bright lights and crowds of people. In addition to Jiang Jun and others, there were many flying tigers.
All the rich people in the city were invited by Li Quan. These people were all acquaintances, and it was inevitable to greet each other for a while when they met.
Qi Feihong and his wife Qian Zhirou were still welcoming the guests at this time. The couple personally greeted everyone. Everyone was surprised and a little surprised. Maybe some people were surprised. After all, they were greeted by the city lord and his wife.
A very glorious thing.
After all the guests had arrived, Qi Feihong and Qian Zhirou walked side by side to the main seat and sat down. Qi Feihong raised a glass and said: "Everyone, welcome to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is hosting a banquet for you tonight to get to know everyone.
Please don’t be polite or restrained. Let me toast you all first!”
Everyone stood up one after another, raised their glasses, and said at the same time: "Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Qi Feihong drank all the wine in his hand, raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then said: "I have been in Feihu City for several months, and I have never had the opportunity to get together with you. Today I am hosting a banquet.
I invite everyone to come, just to meet and chat with you. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no city lord here tonight, and there are no high or low, only friends."
Among the rich people, an old man stood up and said: "The Lord of the City has many things to do every day, and I can understand it. Today I received the invitation from the Lord of the City to attend the dinner at the Lord's Mansion, and I feel very honored. On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank the Lord of the City for his hospitality.
."
Qi Feihong smiled slightly: "My husband, please sit down and talk. Today is not a formal occasion, so I don't need to be so formal." He paused and said, "Everyone is the same. Don't be formal. It's better to be more casual."
Everyone thanked them one after another, and the old man sat down and said with a smile: "Lord City Lord, you have summoned everyone here today, but is there anything that needs our help? Although I am old, I may not be able to help you much, but I will definitely do my best.
Try your best!"
Qi Feihong said: "I don't have anything to ask you to help me personally, but you are all the pillars of Feihu City, and the development of Feihu City needs your help. If there is an opportunity in the future, please give me a helping hand.
, build Feihu City better so that the people of Feihu City can live a life of ample food and clothing."
Everyone said: "Definitely..."
The old man looked at Qi Feihong and said slowly: "Sir City Lord, when I came here, I saw a new 'Flying Tiger City Bank' opened in the City Lord's Mansion. I wonder if you invited me here because of this matter.
feast?"
This old man has become wiser with age. When he saw the newly appeared plaque of the bank, he thought a lot.
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, old man, tomorrow is the opening day of the newly opened Feihu City Bank in my city lord's mansion, so it will be listed today. Today's banquet is just to get to know everyone and set a good tone for everyone's future relationship.
The foundation, nothing else.”
A middle-aged lady stood up and said: "Sir City Lord, you just said that tomorrow is the opening day of your new Feihu City Bank, so can I come to cheer for you, Lord City Lord, and enjoy your happiness? I
Even though he is just a commoner, he can still add some popularity to the Lord of the City."
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "You are very welcome to come to Feihu City Bank tomorrow to experience the services of our government-run bank... Everyone, I would like to toast you all again. I hope I can get along with you happily in the future and maintain Feihu City together with you.
of peace.”
Only then did Qian Zhirou understand the reason why Qi Feihong entertained so many people. Not only did she admire Qi Feihong, after all, using a banquet to spread the word about the money bank of the City Lord's Mansion was far faster than any other means.
Qian Zhirou seems to have seen that a large amount of spiritual coins will be deposited into the bank tomorrow, and she is happy in her heart. She also raises a glass with Qi Feihong to toast everyone.
