Chapter 147: Liu Renliang's resentment "Thank you, Your Highness, your subordinates are willing to die for Your Highness."
Feng Zhibao knelt down without hesitation and took over this important task, he did not refuse, because he knew that his Royal Highness did not like these false things, willing is willing, unwilling is unwilling, and those polite words needless to say - otherwise Feng Zhibao did not dare to guarantee that if he resigned, Li Zhen would not take back his order and then put a mother-in-law on his head.
"That's good, you have to do your best in the future, don't let this palace down, otherwise this palace will not show mercy."
Since ancient times, the city has been a place of corruption, so many ships come and go every day, and each ship has to pay a huge amount of taxes, which is a large amount, if the potential of the city is thoroughly developed, just a city and a city of the city, the amount of taxes collected in a year, is enough to cover the taxes of several states.
With such a large amount of money, except for those who are really indifferent to fame and fortune, it is estimated that no one will not be moved, Li Zhen doesn't know if Feng Zhibao can keep his heart, so he said the ugly words in advance, if Feng Zhibao dares to have a little dereliction of duty, Li Zhen will not hesitate to raise his butcher's knife.
"The subordinates will never live up to His Highness's high expectations, otherwise if His Highness does not wait for his Highness, the subordinates themselves will come to see His Highness."
To be honest, Feng Zhibao really didn't have an idea about the city, if he really wanted to make money, where would he become an official?
Isn't it enough to go straight to business?
With his talent, in a few years, he will be able to earn another family business no less than a year ago - this is much faster than embezzling money, and it is safer, so why bother embezzling the money of the city's company?
Since he dedicated all his family property to Li Zhen, he naturally gave up his plan to continue to be a businessman, but wanted to fight hard in the officialdom.
Now that he has finally sat in the position of the envoy of Yuezhou City, seeing that the steady progress is in front of him, where will he do things that destroy his future?
"Alright, let's go down."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
"Your Highness, is it really okay to hand over the city division to him?"
Feng Zhibao left, and Liu Renliang, who had been watching from the side and didn't make a sound, finally couldn't help it, he was engaged in the business at sea, and he often dealt with the City Ship Division, so he knew very well how profitable the City Ship Division was today.
And more importantly, the potential of the city is far from being exploited, and once the Age of Discovery opens, the number of merchant ships docked here every day will be tenfold, ten, ten, or even hundreds of times more than the current one......
This is definitely a big gold mine, compared to this gold mine, what is Silver Island?
What is Luzon?
This is a gold mine that can never be dug up.
However, now that Li Zhen has put such a large gold mine into the hands of Feng Zhibao - a newcomer who has just taken refuge in Li Zhen for less than two years, is this decision a bit too hasty?
This is the city's division, once Feng Zhibao wants to make an idea from here, then Datang will not lose a little bit.
"It's okay, Feng Zhibao is still very trustworthy."
Li Zhen shook his head and didn't say anything, after more than a year of observation, Li Zhen was already very sure that Feng Zhibao was indeed sincerely coming to take refuge in himself, not a shadow planted by a certain force around him, and he was basically trustworthy.
And he has done a really good job in the city in the past year, and he has taken care of the city port division with only three or two big cats and kittens into such a prosperous appearance today, which can be regarded as a great contribution.
Although the prosperity of the City Shipping Division is related to the unveiling of the Age of Sail, Feng Zhibao has not made a single mistake in the past year or so - and for a department like the City Shipping Division, no fault is the greatest credit.
What's more, Feng Zhibao has done really well this year, and it is really unreasonable not to give him a little reward.
"You're not worried about something wrong with him?"
"What could go wrong?"
Li Zhen asked rhetorically: "He is just a city envoy, what role can he have in addition to facing a mountain of income every day?"
” Of course, things are not as simple as Li Zhen said, such an important department as the City Division, of course, his role is not just as simple as collecting taxes, here, you can collect a lot of top-secret information - just like after the silver mine on Silver Island was transported back at that time, if this matter was handed over to Feng Zhibao to operate, he would definitely be able to handle this matter properly, and at that time, except for a few people, no one would know the news of Silver Island.
It's just that Li Zhen mined the silver ore back not to keep it secret, on the contrary, he deliberately revealed the news, so he didn't use Feng Zhibao.
Therefore, the role of the city department is very important, and Feng Zhibao's position as the city envoy is even more important, but since Li Zhen dares to put Fan Zhenying in this position, he naturally has his means - the intelligence organization under his command is not vegetarian, as long as they are willing, they can investigate how many mouthfuls of food Feng Zhibao ate a day.
It's just that this kind of thing is not easy to tell others, so Li Zhen didn't tell Liu Renliang.
"By the way, Feng Zhibao's matter is over, let's continue to talk about your matter."
Li Zhen was reluctant to say more about this kind of thing, and shifted the topic to Liu Renliang, in fact, it was Liu Renliang who came first just now, but it was only later that Feng Zhibao's report had something to do with Liu Renliang, which interrupted the conversation between the two, but focused on Feng Zhibao, and now that Feng Zhibao's problem is solved, it is natural to start discussing Liu Renliang's matter.
"Yes, Your Highness, it's not kind of you to do this."
As soon as Liu Renliang heard this, he began to complain: "In order to attract more merchants to the sea, your subordinates raised their hands and feet to support this, but why did you sell our ships?"
How else can I go to sea?
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and if there is no boat, how can her subordinates go to sea?
Your subordinates are still thinking of looking south along the waters of Luzon to see what your Highness is talking about Borneo and Island K (Sulawesi, which is shaped like an English letter K, and the historical text should avoid the real place name as much as possible).
Not only did you sell our existing ships, but even the ships that were still being built in the dockyard were sold at a high price......
If we don't have a ship, how can we go to sea?
If I can't go to sea, what is the role of me as the leader of the fleet?
Your Highness, you have to give me an explanation today, otherwise your subordinates won't give up easily. ” Liu Ren came up with a wild spray, full of resentment - you even sold me for dinner, aren't you ready to live?
