Fu Xiaoguan stood in front of Ning Yuchun and others.
Zhang Wenhui and others looked at this powerful young man very nervously. They thought that such a person must be extremely majestic, extremely cold and extremely arrogant - young people who succeed at a young age are often like this.
They are ready to face the king's domineering aura.
But then they were dumbfounded:
Fu Xiaoguan stretched himself, then punched Ning Yuchun and said with a cheerful smile, "You go first. Have you walked the ground to familiarize yourself with it? Where can I find good food here? I'm so hungry. You should be the host and welcome me home."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed to Xi Xunmei again, and also waved to Shi Yiming and others.
What's the point of this?
He is the governor of Wofeng Road!
How could he speak to his subordinates like that?
Don’t you want your identity anymore?
Shouldn't the distance between each other be far enough?
Zhang Wenhui and the other three exchanged glances for a moment, all of them with confusion in their eyes.
Ning Yuchun also laughed. "What the hell? I'm not going to believe it, but I've only been in Wofeng City for two days and haven't even left the government office. But..."
Ning Yuchun looked at Zhang Wenhui and the other three and said, "These four are all veteran merchants from Wofeng City. They've come here today to welcome you. They said they want to welcome you. It depends on whether you're willing to go."
"This is a good feeling..."
Ning Yuchun was talking about the old merchants in Wofeng City, so they were naturally people from the Yi Kingdom.
This meal must be eaten.
Firstly, he had to reassure these businessmen, and secondly, he also needed to get some information from them.
For example, what are the current mentality of the indigenous people and what do they think of this new policy? We can even encourage them to invest and build factories in Wofeng Road.
So Fu Xiaoguan looked at Zhang Wenhui and the other three with a smile on his face. This look made the four people's hearts pound!
This smile is so warm!
So kind!
I didn't feel any pressure at all, it was like a spring breeze blowing on my face.
"I am Fu Xiaoguan, the Daotai of Wofeng Road."
Fu Xiaoguan said something very formally to the four people, and they knelt on the ground with a plop. There was still some fear in their voices, but more of it was joy:
"I pay my respects to the Daotai!"
Fu Xiaoguan walked over very kindly and helped the four people up one by one:
"Don't be so distant. After all, I'm a businessman too. Merchants are like family. From now on, I'll need your advice on Wofeng Road's economic policies. Give me more opinions and suggestions... No, are you really planning to host a welcome party for me? I'm really hungry. How about we chat while we eat?"
The twist in Fu Xiaoguan's words was quite dramatic, and Zhang Wenhui and the other three were stunned for five breaths before they reacted.
He quickly bowed and said, "I sincerely wish to welcome the prefectural governor." Being a smooth talker, he quickly turned and bowed to Ning Yuchun, "I really want to invite the governor for a drink, but the governor is dedicated to the people, and I can't find him. Now is the day, so I'm shamelessly inviting you today. I hope you'll do me a favor."
Ning Yuchun laughed, "That's it."
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhang Wenhui quickly bowed to Xi Xunmei and the others, a smile blooming on his face. "My Lords, I have booked the Shuiyun Tower. Please come with me. I will be very grateful!"
Xi Xunmei was about to refuse, but unexpectedly, Fu Xiaoguan expressed his opinion, "That's great. What's your name, boss?"
"Ah... My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Wenhui. I dare not be called boss in front of you, sir!"
"Boss Zhang, that's thoughtful. Is Shuiyunlou a big place? There are over a hundred people in my industry."
Zhang Wenhui was even more delighted. "Enough, enough, enough! Shuiyunlou is the largest and best restaurant in Wofeng City. The chef there is an imperial chef from the Yi Kingdom court. Today, I would like to invite you all to taste the flavors of the Yi Kingdom."
"Okay, please let Boss Zhang lead the way!"
"Thank you, sir. Please get in the car!"
Zhang Wenhui and his four companions rode in one carriage, and the other three were given to Xi Xunmei and others.
Fu Xiaoguan invited Ning Yuchun to board Yun Xiyan's carriage, and the convoy drove into Wofeng City with Zhang Wenhui.
…
"This Earl Ding'an... doesn't understand!" said Mr. Qiao Liu with a frown.
"He's a man who can accomplish great things!" Zhang Wenhui's face was filled with undisguised joy. "Just think about it, he narrowed the distance between us with just a few words. Just based on this point, he is completely different from the former city lord.
He didn't put himself on a pedestal, but rather lowered himself. At least I didn't sense any discrimination towards us in his eyes or words, which shows that he truly values business and businesspeople!"
Fan Shilin of Piaoxiang Garden was silent for a few breaths, then spoke up, "It's strange, but when I first met him, I felt a great deal of pressure. But as soon as he started talking, the pressure suddenly disappeared, as if he wasn't some Daotai at all. I've seen countless people, but I've never seen anyone like him..." He shook his head, "I've never seen anyone like him before!"
Wang Xiaozhong from Jinxiufang laughed and said, "My business has been very close to the Yu Dynasty, and I've learned a lot about this gentleman. You already know a lot of it, but there's one thing you probably haven't heard yet."
"What is it?"
"This time, when selecting officials for Wofeng Road, Ding Anbo went against the majority opinion and chose a woman as the official!"
"What... t-t-this is also possible?"
Wang Xiaozhong snapped his folding fan shut. "This woman is none other than Sima Che, the eldest daughter of the Sima family of Yu Chaoyingqiu! She came in fourth in the imperial examination and has now arrived in Ningsang County, Qingzhou, to take up her new post."
The next head of the Yingqiu Sima family, Sima Hui, is her father, and he's also in Ningsang City. It's said that the Sima family will be making a major move in Ningsang, with Hongye Town being the primary location. The first factory building will probably be operational soon, and the investment is said to be a whopping eight million taels of silver!
"Hiss...!" Zhang Wenhui and the other two gasped in disbelief.
"My Jinxiufang has a long-standing business relationship with the Sima family of Yingqiu. This news came from Sima Hui's second son, Sima Tao. There's no way it's wrong!"
All three of them were silent, each thinking about something.
But there is one thing in common, this Ding'an Earl is a man who does not abide by etiquette. He actually dared to break the convention and appoint a woman as a county magistrate!
This Wofeng Road... really has great potential!
"It seems that we can no longer stay in this city of Wofeng. Now we are considered people of the Yu Dynasty, and we can also make comprehensive arrangements in the Yu Dynasty! However, we have to start with Wofeng Road."
"Brother Zhang, what you said is very much to my liking. Liufuji needs to start planning. If we delay any longer... I'm afraid the market will be taken over by the five major business families of the Yu Dynasty."
Zhang Wenhui and others made important decisions in this short period of time, and Fu Xiaoguan was chatting with Ning Yuchun at this moment.
"How many houses are vacant in Wofeng City?"
"More than half, which part of the people should be moved in?"
"Move! Sell it! I'm so fucking poor!"
