After almost a year, the palace maids had actually become quite familiar with Qinghe.
When I first arrived, I didn't even dare to go out on the street or talk to strangers. Once someone asked me a question, I would instinctively bow and stand still, then answer carefully.
And now, they can actually go shopping in groups without Xue Tao or the guards accompanying them. From this point of view, Lin Hai feels that the entire Qinghe society has made progress compared to other places in the world.
After all, the first step to liberating productivity is to liberate people.
Of course, these are things that Lin Hai should consider.
Ling Yang doesn't need to think so much. He just wants wives. Well, maybe three to five...
Ling Yang said that he only asked for so few because he took into consideration the needs of other colleagues. Otherwise, with his physique, thirty or fifty would be no problem.
After saying this, the Ministry of Government Affairs almost stood in opposition to the civil and military departments of Qinghe, and Ling Yang was almost beaten to death by Cheng Guorong and a group of military generals.
Of course, in the end Lin Hai stepped forward to stop the seemingly dangerous but satisfying civil war in Qinghe, and stipulated that each person could choose a maximum of three palace maids, and this was with the other party's consent.
"It's better than nothing."
These were probably the only words that Ling Yang, with his face bruised and swollen, could use to comfort himself at the time.
Since the number of choices has decreased, the quality must be high.
For Lin Hai, he only saw Ling Yang soliciting customers for the jewelry store on the street, but what really surprised Lin Hai was that everyone in the jewelry store, from the boss and the shopkeeper to the craftsmen who pretended to make jewelry in the back, were actually from the Government Affairs Department.
At the other end of the commercial street, the series of food and snack shops are basically monopolized by the military.
Since the two giants of government and the military occupy the two best industries, people in other departments can only choose some niche stores...
How should I put it? Actually, there are very few people actually doing business on the entire commercial street. They have basically been replaced by senior officials from various departments of Qinghe and their subordinates.
Although Lin Hai has explicitly stipulated that officials are not allowed to encroach on the property of the people, as long as the money is in place, the original owners of these stores do not care who does business in their stores.
What's more, Ling Yang had made it clear at the time that it would only take three days, and all the money from the sales during these three days would belong to the original owner. Ling Yang would also give the original owner a large sum of compensation. The original owner was so excited that he agreed without even asking about Ling Yang's identity.
After all, such suckers don't appear every day. What if you ask too many questions and end up asking the sucker away?
As for Ling Yang, he had basically no place to spend money in Qinghe over the years. He had basically saved all the salary that Lin Hai gave him. If he didn't spend it now, could he just count his savings every night and give up his wife?
Of course, as a former Beijing resident, the former shop owner was somewhat sensitive. After accepting Ling Yang's money, he immediately went to the Thai capital's government office to report the matter. However, the newly appointed Thai capital's governor, Ruan Shihao, didn't seem to care about the matter. He simply waved his hand and told him to return home to recuperate for a few days before returning...
Well, it doesn’t matter. The people have fulfilled their obligations anyway.
What Lin Hai didn't know was that even the owner, waiter and others in the teahouse where he was now had been replaced by Ling Yan's subordinates. It's just that these people didn't report directly to Lin Hai on weekdays, so Lin Hai didn't recognize them for a while.
Otherwise, if you say you want to book the whole place, then you can book it. The boss won’t care about his reputation.
"Why does Ling Yang have to sell jewelry?"
Shi Zhen'er asked with some confusion.
"This street sells everything. Not everyone wants to buy jewelry, but when you go out to play, you always want to eat something delicious. Wouldn't Ling Yang be able to see more palace maids if he went to the snack bar?"
"Hahahahahaha, do you think he wants to see the palace maids?"
Lin Hai explained:
"What do these palace maids look like, how tall or fat they are, where are they from, how old they were when they entered the palace, and what they did? I'm afraid Ling Yang can memorize it all. Think about it, Xue Tao is Ling Yang's subordinate, how could he not prepare in advance?"
"That...?"
"Before these palace maids set off, Xue Tao must have just given them some money. If I remember correctly, it was more than three taels of silver per person, right?"
Lin Hai seemed to bring up something off topic.
"Yes, this money wasn't in the budget. Xue Tao came to me for approval. But what does this have to do with Ling Yang's choice?"
“It’s a huge deal.
These palace maids had already received news that they would be arranged to marry off in the next few days, and their targets would all be high-ranking officials in Qinghe, but Xue Tao told them that the time would be three days later.
"Three days later?"
"Yes, these three days are for them to adjust their mood and gather information in advance to make a decision.
So these palace maids didn’t know that the person standing at the door was Ling Yang.
Imagine you were one of those palace maids. You've spent most of your life serving others, and for the past six months you've been constantly traveling around studying and researching. Now you have three days off, you've been paid, and in three days you might marry into a wealthy family, no longer having to worry about making a living. What would you do?
"Of course I should relax, eat something good, and buy something I like. After all, if I really get married in three days, it will be a different life." Shi Zhener blurted out.
"Yes, that's right." Lin Hai clapped his hands and said affirmatively:
"This street has everything. Ling Yang wanted to tell the good from the bad of these palace maids through their choices and conversations. Simply put, it's human nature to want to eat something good, but if someone throws all their money into a restaurant and eats to their heart's content, I'm afraid Ling Yang won't accept any of it.
