This young master is thinking of leaving as soon as possible, so don't find anything for me to do.
"Your Majesty, I think it doesn't matter whether I am the helmsman or not." Li Qi said with a smile, "I'd better get on the road to Kyoto as soon as possible. The most important thing is to help Your Majesty complete another important thing."
"There's no rush." Jiang Yuxiu said, "Although your trip to Kyoto is important, the affairs of the Heroes Meeting are also very important to me now."
"My lord, what do you want to do to Qunying?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yuxiu thought for a moment, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and said, "Do you know why I stay in Su City?"
Li Qi shook his head.
"Su City is the most important commercial city in Daxia. Every year, Su City pays countless taxes to the court. It can be said that one-fifth of the tax revenue in Daxia comes from Su City."
Jiang Yuxiu paused at this point and said: "The tax revenue of Su City has been increasing day by day in recent years. If this continues, the people will not be able to make a living."
Li Qi still doesn't understand. What does this have to do with Wanted Heroes?
"The main purpose of my staying in Su City is to change this situation." Jiang Yuxiu said: "And if you want to change Su City's taxation, the first thing you have to do is balance."
"balance?"
"There are many rich businessmen in Sioux City, and there are also many poor people..."
Li Qi's eyes lit up and he said, "Does the prince want to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor?"
Jiang Yuxiu was stunned, thinking that Li Qi's word was quite new: "Yes, it means narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor."
Li Qi finally understood that Jiang Yuxiu was trying to scare the monkeys.
I want to make other wealthy businessmen afraid of other wealthy businessmen by rectifying the group of heroes, but is this really effective?
It seems that this Jiang Yuxiu still doesn’t understand businessmen too well.
Businessmen have always been profit-seeking. If they don't make a profit, they won't be able to do anything early.
Will killing a hero really serve as a warning to the monkeys?
I don't think so.
"Your Majesty, I think that even if you want to change the current situation in Su City, destroying a group of heroes is obviously just a temporary measure." Li Qi said.
Jiang Yuxiu looked at him: "Oh?"
Li Qidao: "Although the Qunying Association has many industries in Suzhou, it also provides many jobs for the poor."
"Position?" Jiang Yuxiu looked confused.
"Yes, let's talk about Yipinlou. There are so many handymen and waiters in the shop. They are all poor people in Sioux City, right? Now that Yipinlou is sealed, will they lose their jobs? It is equivalent to losing their jobs.
What will happen to their livelihoods?"
Li Qi continued: "Let's talk about the court's taxation. Listening to the prince's tone just now, I roughly understood that the reason why the court increased the tax on Su City is undoubtedly because Su City has money. As far as I can see, the prince will get rid of it.
One hero will not be enough."
Jiang Yuxiu obviously understood what Li Qi said and pondered for a while.
"If the prince really wants to kill the rich and help the poor, I will be happy to help." Li Qi said.
Jiang Yuxiu looked up at him: "Oh? Can you solve this matter?"
"I dare not say that I am absolutely sure, but I am still 70% or 80% sure," Li Qi said.
With a giant Buddha like you backing you, how can you easily capture the wealthy businessmen who want to take advantage of Su City?
Thinking of Jiang Yuxiu's method of dealing with the Heroes Association, Li Qi felt a sigh of relief.
Is it so troublesome to deal with a group of heroes?
It's frame-up, Hongmen Banquet, and prison robbery...
If you are not tired, I am tired.
Jiang Yuxiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Qi after a long time: "Then if I leave this matter to you..."
"Your Majesty!" Li Qi quickly stopped and said, "I'm just talking casually. I don't have much confidence in this matter. I think now, I'd better leave for Kyoto early..."
"If you can really help me solve this problem, I will reward you greatly." Jiang Yuxiu said in an unquestionable tone, "As long as you do things well for me, I will naturally not treat you badly."
Li Qi said helplessly: "Since the prince has spoken, I can only do as he is told."
Li Qi looked depressed and embarrassed on the surface, but actually he was already happy inside.
Grandma, you asked me to kill the rich and give to the poor, so don’t blame me when the time comes!
Now I'm going to make a fortune!
As a time traveler, Li Qi doesn't have too many ways to make a fortune, but the implementation of many things requires a strong backend and the cooperation of many people.
For example, if we monopolize the brothel industry in Jincheng, if there is no preliminary preparation and the collusion of the prefect, how can we monopolize it in the future?
In Sioux City, Li Qi had no property and no backing. It was not impossible to start from scratch, but the efficiency was too slow.
But if I had the giant Buddha Jiang Yuxiu backing me up, wouldn’t it be easy to cut leeks?
Leeks from Sioux City, this young master is here!
…
After the hall leaders of the Qunying Club were released, everyone gathered at Qunying Villa.
Li Qi sat on the Grand Master's chair and glanced around the crowd: "I called you here today mainly because I want to say two things."
"First, I have been the helmsman during this period, and many people are dissatisfied with me. Therefore, it makes no sense for me to continue to be the helmsman. Secondly, the future affairs of the Heroes Association have nothing to do with me.
If you have any problems, don’t come to me. Just do as you like."
After saying these words in one breath, Li Qi stood up and said, "Everyone, I take my leave."
"Master, please stay!" Song Longping was the first to rush forward and stop Li Qi.
"Hall Master Song?" Li Qi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Song Longping took a deep breath, glanced at everyone and then at Li Qi, and said: "A lot of things happened in the meeting during this period, and many brothers were unjustly imprisoned some time ago. For this matter, Captain Li tried his best.
I have rescued many brothers...and now I have helped everyone get rid of their charges. I have reported this matter to the chief helmsman, and he has also given a definite answer. All matters are decided by helmsman Li."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but start discussing.
"Does the chief helmsman also know about this?"
"Hall Master Song is right. During this time, Captain Li has really worked hard for everyone. We can't burn bridges by crossing the river."
"Although Captain Li is young, he is very loyal..."
Everyone was talking about it, but Liu Zhengqi was the only one who sat aside and said nothing, with no sign of happiness or sadness on his face.
Song Longping glanced at him and said, "Hall Master Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Zhengqi stood up, came to Li Qi, clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee: "I, Liu Zhengqi, did not obey the command of the helmsman before and repeatedly committed the following offenses. Today I am at the disposal of the helmsman."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people followed suit and knelt down on one knee and said to Li Qi: "I hope the helmsman will stay!"
