Chapter 483 Everyone's scrambling to buy coral trees
As Lin Luoxi walked forward, she heard Shen Wanjin's words and a smile appeared on her lips. The fish had finally taken the bait.
Seeing that several people were still hesitant, he directly offered such a good deal to Shen Wanjin.
"Then I thank Princess Changping in advance." When Shen Wanjin heard that Lin Luoxi had let him choose first, his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets with joy.
They immediately went up to the piles of coral trees and picked through them, finally selecting ten of the more attractive ones.
Other merchants who were interested in buying coral trees hesitated for a moment, but all the good ones were picked by Shen Wanjin. They regretted it and quickly stepped forward to say that they wanted to buy them too.
I'm afraid if I wait even a few minutes longer, I won't be able to buy anything good, or even the bad stuff.
Although coral trees are inedible, they are extremely rare and hard to come by, as they grow in the deep sea.
Who else could possess such great abilities as Princess Changping, venturing into the deep sea to harvest coral trees?
The coral trees that end up in the market are only produced once every few years. This is because strong winds blow coral trees from the seabed to the surface, where they are picked up by fishermen and sold as worthless items.
Those in the crowd who had harbored wicked intentions upon seeing Lin Luoxi carrying so many coral trees off the ship all gave up their schemes after hearing Shen Wanjin call out Lin Luoxi's name.
Lin Luoxi's reputation is now legendary. She can fight against princes and execute corrupt officials and confiscate their property with lightning speed. Anyone who dares to stop her will be killed. Who dares to mess with her?
One hundred corals sold for over ten million taels of silver, earning Lin Luoxi a fortune.
Holding a stack of silver notes, she left with a beaming smile, arm in arm with Xie Hanchuan.
As she left, Lin Luoxi glanced at those who had just shown greedy expressions and quietly made a hand gesture.
Those who had just been tempted by greed had no idea that before they could even cause trouble for Lin Luoxi, they were already being targeted by Lin Luoxi's people.
After the crowd moved forward, taking advantage of the absence of others, those people were captured by Lin Luoxi's men.
This is Lin Luoxi's pier; she won't allow these people to do anything underhanded here.
Those businessmen who choose to buy land, build houses, rent shops, and do business here must first trust her, so she must do a good job in maintaining order.
It was also because Lin Luoxi could guarantee the safety of these merchants' property that the commercial street at Meihua River Wharf became more and more lively, with more and more merchants coming and going, making it more and more prosperous.
As Lin Luoxi's fleet grew larger, exchanges between the two countries became closer, and business between them improved.
After seeing that everything at the Meihua River Wharf was on track, Lin Luoxi invested heavily in building roads in every county, state, township, and village.
To get rich, you must first build roads. She had had enough of the muddy roads of ancient times. Now that Quanzhou was her territory, she was determined to improve the city and ensure that every citizen could live a good life with roads leading to their doorsteps.
With the commencement of Lin Luoxi's massive project, the economy of many ordinary people has also been boosted, enabling everyone to earn money and escape the days of uncertainty about where their next meal would come from.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan took the children to inspect the local conditions in Quanzhou.
If Lin Luoxi discovers that this village is suitable for fish farming, she will provide fish fry for the villagers to raise. With her restaurants all over the world, she will not have to worry about not being able to consume the fish.
Once she discovered a village suitable for rice cultivation, she would strongly support it, reduce taxes to ease the burden on the people, ensure they had enough to eat, and thus encourage them to work even harder in the fields.
With the grain seeds provided by Lin Luoxi, the yield of grain has increased significantly, and every household now has surplus grain, so they are no longer afraid of the lean season.
If we find suitable places to grow medicinal herbs, we will send technical experts to provide guidance, and we must ensure that the people are lifted out of poverty.
Lin Luoxi's motto is: absolutely no one should be allowed to slack off; everything must be used to its fullest potential, and everyone must be diligent.
Lin Luoxi was directing the villagers to farm. In order to improve the lives of the people, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan had run themselves ragged.
Under Lin Luoxi's management, Quanzhou's prosperity is now the envy of the entire Chiyan Dynasty.
But since Quanzhou has gradually improved, many people have wanted to immigrate here.
Lin Luoxi made things a bit more difficult for those who wanted to relocate to Quanzhou, making it not as simple as just coming whenever they wanted.
Xie Hanchuan worked hard to develop various industries and sell all the products produced by the people. The couple worked together and their efforts were truly remarkable.
The money they've earned is beyond what can be expressed in numbers.
The more money they earned, the more responsibility they felt on their shoulders. Lin Luoxi and Xi Hanchuan did their best to help all the people of Quanzhou escape poverty and become rich, and to help them live in good houses.
Not only that, they also voluntarily contributed money to establish colleges in each county, ensuring that children of a certain age in every place could have access to education.
The good deeds that Lin Luoxi has done for the people are deeply appreciated by all the people of Quanzhou. They feel that Lin Luoxi is their savior and a living bodhisattva.
In just two years, Lin Luoxi brought about tremendous changes to Quanzhou.
In Quanzhou, there is no poor person and no illiterate person; everyone knows some characters to some extent.
Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone's face is filled with a happy smile. Living in the present moment and meeting Lin Luoxi, their savior, is their good fortune.
"Luo Xi, Han Chuan, it's been a long time..."
As Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan were in the courtyard of Wutong Village, listening to all the managers report on the industry's profit and loss, a familiar voice came from outside.
"What brings you two here?" Lin Luoxi asked as Xiao Jingchen walked in, supporting Lin Xingman, whose pregnant belly was quite obvious. She had a feeling that the two of them were up to no good.
The managers recognized Xiao Jingchen and Lin Xingman, and they all wisely put down their ledgers and left.
"Luo Xi, you're being so distant. We're practically brothers, why do you seem so unhappy to see me?" Xiao Jingchen said, feigning grievance.
"Alright, don't try to play the emotional card right away. You never seem to have anything good to say. I'm not used to you being so roundabout all of a sudden..." Lin Luoxi quickly interrupted Xiao Jingchen.
"Luo Xi, we've noticed a lot of changes in Quanzhou this time..."
When Xiao Jingchen thought about how their carriage would enter the border of Quanzhou, it felt like two completely different worlds, with the gap between the rich and poor suddenly becoming apparent.
"Hmm!" Lin Luoxi simply hummed in response, without replying to Xiao Jingchen's words.
"Luo Xi, I'm praising you, why aren't you reacting at all?"
Xie Hanchuan touched his nose awkwardly when he saw that Lin Luoxi did not follow his words. If Lin Luoxi was acting like this, how could he dig a pit for her to fall into?
