When the father and daughter heard Lin's voice, they immediately stopped talking about Lin Feng.
Li Erlang waved the paper in his hand and said to his wife, "Yan'er, what kind of business plan have you come up with? Let me show it to her!"
"Okay, let's eat first. We can talk about this later!" After saying that, he was the first to leave the house.
Li Yan patted her chest and said exaggeratedly: "Fortunately, mother didn't hear it!"
The father and daughter walked out of the house one after the other and sat down at the table. At this time, Li Xiaomei brought a large bowl of millet porridge and placed it on the table: "Let's eat!"
The dinner was relatively simple, millet porridge with freshly made pancakes, and Li Xiaomei also took some pickled radish, which was simple and refreshing.
After sitting down, Li Erlang was not in a hurry to eat, but instead read the plan written by his daughter in detail.
Li Yan silently drank the millet porridge in front of her, staring at her father's frowning expression. She couldn't help but feel nervous, and she didn't know whether her idea was feasible!
Li Erlang suddenly stood up and praised loudly: "Great! Yan'er's idea is really great!"
If such a large market is to be established, I wonder how much money it will cost. The current county government is so rich that it says its pockets are cleaner than its face!
In Yan'er's plan, the term "investment attraction" was used very cleverly. By leveraging resources, such a market could be established, which was simply a gift delivered to County Magistrate Zheng.
Although County Magistrate Zheng's crackdown on the Tang family's cloth shop last time did not shake the power of those local tyrants and big merchants, some profitable businesses in the city are still in the control of those people.
Now County Magistrate Zheng can start a new business and have the opportunity to reshuffle the profitable businesses in Rongcheng and build up his own power. In this way, the situation that he is constrained in Rongcheng will be solved!
Li Yan looked at her father walking around excitedly and couldn't help asking, "Dad, do you think County Magistrate Zheng would agree?"
Li Erlang's expression relaxed when he heard his daughter's question. He smiled and replied, "Not only will County Magistrate Zheng agree to this, he'll probably be very interested in it! Dad will report this to the Lord tomorrow morning. I'm sure the Lord will be very pleased to hear it!"
After hearing her father's words, Li Yan hurriedly said, "Dad, remember to use your power for personal gain for once. I want to participate in this investment promotion. I've already thought about what kind of shop I want to open in the future!"
Li Erlang looked at his daughter and said, "Girl, you came up with this idea. Did you plan this all along?"
Li Yan didn't hide it either, and smiled: "Dad, it's good to know, don't tell it!"
The father and daughter were talking back and forth, while Lin and Li Xiaomei were confused.
"What kind of riddle are you two talking about? What kind of shop are you planning to open? The more I listen, the more confused I get."
"Mom, this is what's going on. Isn't Rongcheng a fortress in the northwest? All merchants traveling north and south have to pass through here. I don't want my uncle to travel back and forth between the north and south anymore. It's not only tiring, but also very dangerous! So I came up with an idea. I want to build a market in Rongcheng for merchants from the north and south to communicate with each other, so that they can trade goods locally!"
Lin asked with some confusion: "What does this have to do with your uncle?"
"Mom, that's a big deal. If this market is built, will County Magistrate Zheng need to find someone familiar with the matter to maintain the market? My uncle is obviously a suitable person!" Li Yan explained.
Lin was a little worried: "Will this work? For such an important matter, the Zheng County Magistrate might have his own plans!"
Yes, when the initiative is in the hands of others, no matter how good your thoughts are, it will be useless.
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, mother. Once the market opens, Rongcheng will have many opportunities. I've made up my mind. Our family will participate in the preparations for the market and buy a few shops for Uncle to do business with the merchants!"
Hearing their daughter's generous tone, Lin and Li Erlang smiled at each other.
While drinking porridge, Li Yan reminded Li Erlang, "I still have 200 taels of silver notes. Keep 50 taels as a reserve and the remaining 150 taels can be used for investment. Dad, when County Magistrate Zheng is looking for investors, don't forget our family!"
Lin said jokingly, "Your money is so small that even County Magistrate Zheng might not even look at it!"
After hearing her mother's words, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh. After all the hardships of traveling south, she only got 300 taels of silver. She gave 100 taels to her uncle. She thought 200 taels would be enough for her to squander for a while, but in the blink of an eye, it was gone! This made Li Yan feel heartbroken.
Li Yan glanced at her father and said, "Dad, I came up with such a good idea and offered it to the county magistrate. Don't you think he'll even give you a little bit of face?"
