Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

As the leaders of various gangs came forward to recommend themselves, Gang Leader Lin accepted them one by one. Every year at the Yaowang Temple Fair, each business gang would set up a stage to perform operas, and would also spend money to hire opera troupes from all over the country at high prices. Although opera troupes have been hired now, few of them have

Singing a few plays can be used to calm the mood of the Qizhou gang, why not?

The drama before the temple fair was settled in a few words by everyone, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed a lot. Dianshi also knew that there would be no large-scale armed conflict today, and his expression became much calmer.

Everyone continued to communicate in a friendly manner. Zhang Jiebin also whispered something to Li Yingshi, but he was quickly attracted by the words in the audience.

"Sir, the daughter of the people is here to negotiate with the leaders about the peaceful settlement of Wuwei Sect in Twelve Chang Town." Our Lady continued to bring the topic back.

"This is impossible. As we all know, Twelve Chang Town has always been owned by the Shang Gang, Gan'er, and the Three Emperors Association. According to the legend passed down by the gang elders from generation to generation, Chang Town did not exist for no reason. It was our blood and sweat bit by bit.

The construction has become large-scale, and you just want to pick the fruits. How can this be reasonable?" Gan Ertou directly refused.

"We are not here to pick fruit, but to negotiate." Our Lady said.

The blind old man also said: "What Zhang Gangtou said is reasonable. Qizhou is so big, why are the twelve towns within our business scope? Don't you think about it?"

"No one said they were all in your territory. Originally, three towns were in my hands, but you shamelessly took them away." The old monk said angrily. Since losing the three towns, his annual income has shrunk by half.

"Humph, you will be punished if you do many unjust things." Bai Yuzhan snorted coldly. Back then, he couldn't stand the bullying of the Great Buddhism, so he took the initiative to unite with the Taoist secular forces in the country, founded the Tao of Respecting Heaven, and seized three towns from the Great Buddhism.

, and invited Gan'er, local merchants to settle in, which greatly prospered the market.

Gang leader Lin saw that everyone was quarreling again, and he quickly said: "Being harmonious makes you rich, and being harmonious makes you rich. Let me say something fair."

When everyone heard this, they all stopped and looked at him. As the leader of the largest business gang in Qizhou, one person controls the lives of thousands of people, so everyone must give him some face.

Leader Lin saw that everyone had calmed down and said with a smile: "I have traveled all over the world over the years and have been to many places, but the place I love most is Qizhou. In fact, based on my experience, Qizhou has great potential.

Well, twelve towns are not enough, even twenty-four towns can handle it."

"Instead of just focusing on the existing land, the Master and the Holy Mother might as well re-operate a few towns. Think about it, even if a few towns are opened for you to settle in, how much incense money will you get?

If you build a market town by yourself, wouldn’t the rent of the shop, the money for the stalls, the money for incense, and the money for tea be better than settling in other towns?”

The Holy Mother and the old monk were deep in thought after hearing the words. Zhang Jiebin also looked at each other and Li Yingzhao. This is indeed a good idea. Although there are twelve towns in Qizhou now, Qizhou City counts as one. This is the responsibility of the government. Everyone

Can't move. Four passes count as four, among which Nanguan Yaowang Temple is the largest. Excluding these five places, there are only seven towns in Qizhou. Is that many? Not many.

Not to mention operating two more, it would be no problem even if we operate seven more.

After careful calculation, the old monk said to Gang Leader Lin: "My Buddhism is widely spread. Gang Leader, where can you tell me where to build a town?"

Gang Leader Lin smiled and said, "How about just at the Stone Buddha?"

The old monk was just about to agree, when he suddenly thought that in every town where there was an opening, there must be a military commander and a horse patrolling the village from time to time. Shifo Village is a stronghold of Buddhism and cannot allow the government to settle in. Thinking of this, he shook his head and said it was inappropriate.

Gang Leader Lin frowned when he heard this. The Stone Buddha actually didn't have much commercial value. It was just located on a business road, and there were many traders traveling there. The Big Buddha raised its prices from the ground up, and usually cheated and deceived the traders. I wanted to make a resting place, but it could be

Negotiate to resolve previous issues. But the old monk refused, so he had to give up. After thinking for a moment, he said, "What about Cui Zhang?"

"Cui Zhang?" The old monk hesitated for a while and asked: "Are there any other places to choose from? Do you think Nanma, Zhongzhao, and a family village can be successful?"

Leader Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Master, commercial towns are different from agriculture and mining. They don't look at whether the real estate is rich or not, but only whether they are located on the main transportation thoroughfares. Looking at the various commercial towns in Qizhou, they are all located on the main waterway transportation thoroughfares. So said

, Master, do you understand?”

"I understand, so why not?" The old monk asked.

Gang leader Lin could only continue to explain: "If one acre of land can feed a family, if you let three families cultivate one acre of land, will it be enough to feed them?"

"Guild leader, please don't deceive me because I don't know how to count. One more town means only two families. How can there be three families?" the old monk said unconvinced.

"Look at the towns before and after Lijiazhuang. If you squeeze in, it will break the previous balance and cause the two original towns to be greatly affected."

"Master, the Twelve Towns in Qizhou were not created by one person, but were formed over thousands of years. It can be said to be the most reasonable existence. One more person will not be full, and one less person will make everyone hungry."

"When I am elected by everyone, it is not to interrupt everyone's livelihood, but to do everything possible to maintain balance and stability."

Gang leader Lin's words made Gangertou, Blind Old Man, Bai Yuzhan and others nod their heads. Although they couldn't say this, they had been doing this all the time.

The old monk was puzzled when he heard this, and asked with some suspicion: "If you want to maintain balance, why do you instigate us to run a new market? Are you deliberately deceiving us so that they can continue to make money? Then you can just go away.

People, who should we talk to for reason?”

As soon as these words came out, the Holy Mother also looked at Gang Leader Lin with suspicion. Ganertou, the blind old man, Bai Yuzhan, even Dian Shi, Li Zheng and Zhang Jiebin all looked at Gang Leader Lin, wanting to hear his explanation.

Gang leader Lin looked at the old monk for a while, smacking his lips, and bowed to everyone: "Sir, all the masters and heroes, please listen to me slowly."

"The prosperity of cities and towns has always been related to politics, population and transportation. However, the prosperity of Qizhou is different. It prospered because of commerce and the Yaowang Temple Fair. First, the Yaowang Temple Fair prospered, and then

There is the city of Qizhou."

"Two hundred years have passed, and twelve towns have appeared in Qizhou. However, in recent years, the Yaowang Temple Fair's trade has increased year by year. We and other merchants have negotiated many times. If we want to meet the needs of the temple fair, there are two ways. One is to change it to once a year.

There are two meetings a year. However, this change is too big, and it may be difficult for drug dealers in various places to notify it in place, and making any changes easily may not be worth the gain."

"The second is to set up more markets and towns to appropriately disperse the flow of vendors and people. It is expected that three to five more markets and towns can be established. We will first check the situation and then make adjustments."

Dian Shi frowned and asked, "Have you ever informed Lord Zhizhou about such a big event?"
