Qin Lingjun realized that his expression was different and hurriedly asked: "Military advisor, is there something wrong?"
Before Zhang Yangquan could speak, Shen Qianqian suddenly turned around, pointed at the restaurant on the street, and said, "Isn't that the restaurant you are talking about?"
Qin Lingjun realized something was wrong and changed her expression: "What?"
Shen Qianqian said slowly: "That restaurant is the property of the Zheng family."
Qin Lingsi felt a chill in her heart and said, "The Zheng family you are talking about is the Zheng family who colluded with Qingyi Village?"
Shen Qianqian nodded.
Qin Lingjun asked solemnly: "Do you know the market price of this restaurant?"
Shen Qianqian was silent for a while and said slowly: "Originally, when the situation in Yangzhou was stable, the restaurant was indeed worth six thousand taels. Later, when the Jianghuai River was in chaos, refugees flowed in from the city gate, resulting in a sharp decline in security in the north of the city, and the value of this area of industry was devalued. ”
Qin Lingsi gritted her teeth and said, "How much is it worth now?"
"Probably... about two thousand taels of silver."
"That bastard!" Qin Lingsi slapped the table hard and asked again: "How much is Oriole Garden worth now?"
Shen Qianqian said: "The location is good and it is close to Baobao Lake, so the value has been increasing. When I bought the house next to it, I also asked about the price of Oriole Garden. It was 8,000 taels of silver at the time."
"I'm going to catch that fat man!" Qin Ling turned around in anger.
Qin Lingjun grabbed her and scolded: "You and I got into a big pot, don't you know how to learn a lesson? Stand still and listen to the military advisor's remarks!"
He turned to face Zhang Yangquan, lowered his eyes and said, "Military advisor, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I was the one who advocated buying the restaurant. If you want to punish me, then punish me!"
"Sister, it's obviously me..." Qin Lingsi's eyes were slightly red and she whispered.
"Stop talking, this is my responsibility."
Seeing the two sisters rushing to admit their mistakes, Zhang Yangquan hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry too much, I picked up Oriole Garden for nothing, so it's a good thing to exchange it for such a restaurant!"
Qin Lingsi bit her lower lip and said, "Commander, we can't just let it go!"
Shen Qianqian said softly: "This should be a conspiracy between the Zheng family and Zhang Mingjian to plot against you. Now that the contract has been signed, even if you go to Zhennan King, you can't get it back."
Zhang Yangquan said solemnly: "They have indeed considered everything carefully. Polo would regret giving Oriole Garden to us if things get serious. If things get serious, he will never favor us."
Tears flashed in Qin Lingsi's eyes. The Oriole Garden worth 8,000 taels was exchanged for a restaurant worth 2,000 taels, a price difference of more than a hundred horses. She wanted to slap herself in the mouth!
Zhang Yangquan patted her shoulder and said: "Don't cry, I have a way to help you get revenge!"
Qin Lingsi suddenly raised her head, looking like a pear blossom with rain in it: "What can I do?"
Zhang Yangquan turned around and smiled: "Miss Qianqian, remember you said before that the price drop in restaurants is due to the decline in public security in the north of the city, right?"
"Yes."
"Then if public security improves and the north of the city becomes stable and prosperous, will the value still rise?"
Shen Qianqian's eyes lit up and she smiled: "Of course!"
Zhang Yangquan said again: "Master Dazhai, do you think there will be so many tourists if you let people like Zhang Mingjian manage the west part of the city, Oriole Garden and Baobao Lake?"
Qin Lingjun said happily: "Absolutely not!"
Zhang Yangquan turned his eyes back to Qin Lingsi and said with a smile: "So as long as we manage the north of the city well, the prices of restaurants will rise sooner or later, and the market price of Oriole Garden will continue to fall. When the value of the restaurant exceeds twice that of Oriole Garden, they will be the ones regretting it. !"
Qin Lingsi clapped her little hands and said: "Yes, we must manage the north of the city well and let the price of our restaurant rise back!"
Zhang Yangquan said: "The patrol task in the north of the city will be left to the second village leader!"
After the edict of three bandits, Jiangdu City experienced tremendous changes.
First of all, in the commercial market, both the Bian family and the Shen family shifted their industrial focus to the north of the city. Among them, the Shen family was the most thorough, opening all their shops to the north of the city.
The Zheng family, the largest Malaysian businessman, also shifted the focus of its industry to the west of the city. Although the Cai family was not a businessman on the surface, in fact, it had the largest business, and its focus began to shift to the south of the city.
In this transfer turmoil, the Shen family has gained the most, because every family is focused on expanding industries in each city, and no one has the energy to suppress the Shen family.
The Shen family was new to the city. After Zhang Yangquan became a member of the North Gate Thousand Households, the Shen family began to really exert its efforts, acquiring a large number of properties in the north of the city, and finally establishing a solid foundation in Jiangdu.
In addition to the changes in shops, the biggest change is in public security. There are not many police officers in Jiangducheng County. Maintaining public security has always been the responsibility of Qianhu, and the officers only deal with homicide cases.
Now there are three thousand households in the imperial edict, and the four urban areas are each responsible for the four thousand households.
The troops at the north gate of Longtan Village in the north of the city have strict discipline and have no offense with the common people.
In order to avenge her previous shame, Qin Lingsi used her original energy to recruit refugees and patrolled the streets from dawn to dusk every day to maintain public order in the north of the city.
She divided the three hundred patrol teams into six teams and patrolled the streets and alleys in the north of the city day and night.
Faced with those habitual thieves, she would take the most severe measures to punish them, whip them, and then capture the horse manure picked up by thousands of households and transport it to Longtan Village to be used as fertilizer.
Facing those refugees, poor people, and orphans who have no choice but to steal, she will provide relief and help them find work. Children who are really unable to survive independently will be sent to Longtan Village.
Qin Lingsi also secretly received Zhang Yangquan's instructions and did not help the Shen family and the Bian family to suppress other merchants in the north of the city, resulting in the stability of the commercial city in the north of the city.
Under such circumstances, healthy competition has formed in the shopping malls. The shopping malls in the north of the city are becoming more and more prosperous, with high quality and low prices. With the improvement of public security, people are willing to go to the north of the city to buy things.
After Shen Qianqian and Bian Ying found that business had improved, they no longer complained that Zhang Yangquan did not favor their family.
In the west and south of the city, Zhang Mingjian and Huang Boyan's patrol teams favored the Zheng family and the Cai family. As a result, the two businesses formed a monopoly. Although there were fewer customers, the two companies made a lot of money.
Then the two families gave part of the money to Zhang Mingjian and Huang Boyan, and in the end everyone made money.
The shopping mall is like this, let alone public security.
Especially Zhang Mingjian's patrol team, they never pay for food in the city and even ask for protection fees from vendors.
When people have conflicts, they will help whoever gives them money, extort money, collect money to do things, confuse right and wrong, and do everything.

In less than a month, the west part of the city was in a state of chaos. Many wealthy households began to move, causing the prices of industries in the west part of the city to plummet.
The south of the city was not much better. Although Huang Boyan listened to Lu Qing's words and asked the brothers to restrain themselves, such soft words could not restrain the bandits at all.
Although Miao Daheng, who was in charge of the east of the city, could control the Han soldiers, the Mongolian soldiers under his command ignored him at all and continued to run rampant in the city.
The King of Zhennan is hiding in the palace to enjoy himself. As long as the river is not breached, he can't take care of so many things.
Furthermore, the emperor recently issued an order to reprimand him, ordering him to handle his relationship with Wang Mengge and refrain from malicious slander behind his back.
This made Polo Buhua very angry, and his loyalty to the court was not very much left.
Unconsciously, the year came to an end, and King Zhennan held a year-end banquet at the palace. Zhang Mingjian, Huang Boyan, and Zhang Yangquan all received invitations.
Accompanying Zhang Yangquan to the banquet were Wang Da and Shan Zhu. The Qin sisters all hated Polo Buhua and were unwilling to participate.
At the banquet, Zhang Yangquan was ignored. Not only did Polo Buhua pay no attention to him, but Princess Zhennan didn't even look at him, but she was very interested in Huang Boyan's jokes.
Zhang Yangquan didn't care and ate and drank in silence. Only Sun Hong came over to toast him with a glass of wine and said a few words.
"Wang Da, you boy, pay attention to how you eat, everyone is watching!" The wild boar shouted in a low voice.
Wang Da's mouth was full of food. Seeing that Zhang Yangquan didn't stop him, he said vaguely: "What do they care about...?"
At this moment, a scholar came over, raised his glass to Zhang Yangquan and said: "Zhang Qianhu turned Longtan Village into the largest village in Jiangdu with a flip of his hands. I am deeply admired by Lu Qing."
Zhang Mingjian, who was at the top, stared at me after hearing this.
Zhang Yangquan knew that this man was the Huangyazhai military advisor, so he raised his glass and said, "Brother Lu is joking. Although we have many people in Longtan Village, most of them are old, weak, women and children, which is far inferior to Guizhai and Qingyi Village!"
Zhang Mingjian turned his head, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother Zhang, Qin Lingjun is a fierce horse. What I admire most is Brother Zhang's ability to train horses!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "How can we compare with Zhang Zhai leader's eclectic ability? First it was the Red Scarf Army, and then Liu Ju. Zhang Zhai leader was not as good as them, but he was able to annex them in the end. This boldness is even unacceptable.
!"
Zhang Mingjian's face changed slightly and he became silent.
Zhang Yangquan was too lazy to talk to the two of them, and cupped his hands towards them and said: "I have eaten and drank enough, so I will leave first."
He stepped forward and asked King Zhennan to retreat, and left the palace hall with Shanzhu and Wang Da.
