Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

After half an hour of stomping and pressing, it finally ended with Hong Yao collapsing on the bed.

Besides, the smell in this room is getting worse...

Fang Zheng Yi put on his clothes, loosened his muscles and bones, and said, "Alright, you two go back to your rooms and rest."

The two women were immediately relieved, staggering to their feet and slowly shuffling out of the room.

Fang Zheng Yi glanced disdainfully at Zhou Dahai, who was huddled in the corner, and shook his head helplessly.

This room is uninhabitable, I'll change it tomorrow.

Then he walked out of the mansion with his hands behind his back, leisurely.

Outside the mansion, Fang Zheng Yi made a gesture towards the sky, and Bai Rui jumped out from nowhere.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Go and call the others, and hold a meeting on the pleasure boat."

After saying that, he rode his horse towards the Cheng Hu pleasure boat.

The pleasure boat was usually docked on the shore, and it would only be sailed to the center of the lake when there was something to discuss.

Entering the boat, many people were already there, and they immediately greeted Fang Zheng Yi when they saw him.

Xie Xian stepped forward and said, "Master, why did you come?"

"Well, I have something to explain, let everyone on the boat come over, don't wait for those who are late, you can tell them after the meeting."

Xie Xian nodded in agreement.

Soon, the people on the boat gathered.

There were only a little more than half of them, and when Fang Zheng Yi saw that almost everyone had arrived, he stood up and said, "I'm here today to inform everyone."

"I have already roughly investigated the situation in Jianjiang Prefecture. When the time is right, I will send someone to notify you to go to the yamen to arrest people!"

"Sifang, Tongda, and Guanglai rice shops, do you know which family in the city they belong to?"

Xie Xian opened his small notebook, looked at it, and said, "These three rice shops are the property of the Sun family and the Wang family, two local big families."

"Master, the tunnel has been connected to their granary. Do you need to transport the grain out now?"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "Transport it! It's all the people's hard-earned money, don't be polite."

"What if these guys are cunning and transfer the grain, wouldn't that be a great loss for nothing?"

"However, you should be as quiet as possible. When things are settled, we will directly confiscate their homes!"

Xie Xian thought for a while, and hesitated: "Master, if we really take people to the yamen to arrest people, then the garrison..."

Fang Zheng Yi was silent for a while: "That's right, the garrison is a trouble. If we rashly rush in, we might be regarded as rebels and beaten."

"Therefore, I can only take action after I have confirmed the relationship between the garrison commander and the prefect here."

"You guys prepare in advance."

"Have you had any situations recently?"

Xie Xian flipped through the notebook again: "Yes, something went wrong with Lao Shen's side. Now there are only two religions left in the city. Besides ours, there is also one called the Iron Clothes Sect."

"The leader is called Chen Dasheng. They have a particularly large number of people. Lao Shen said that there are probably eight thousand people, and they are still constantly recruiting people into the sect."

"Recently, the friction has been intense. Lao Shen's side doesn't dare to disband rashly, waiting for your decision, Master."

Fang Zheng Yi curled his lips: "Iron Clothes Sect? What a lame name? Wouldn't it be enough to let Zhang Biao beat that Chen Dasheng to death?"

Xie Xian smiled awkwardly: "Master, Xiaotao and you are not here, and others can't order him around...."

Fang Zheng Yi said impatiently: "Then send Zhou Tie, wouldn't that be enough? Is a Jianghu swindler so troublesome?"

"Zhou Tie was beaten by Zhang Biao last time, and he still can't get out of bed."

"............"

Seeing that Fang Zheng Yi didn't speak, Xie Xian continued: "Master, that Chen Dasheng is not an ordinary Jianghu swindler. The two sides have had several frictions. Chen Dasheng has excellent external martial arts skills, is invulnerable to weapons, and can fight ten people alone."

"Moreover... I think something is strange. The two sides have been at peace, but the friction has become more and more frequent during this period."

"The people on Shen Zhaoxuan's side have always been supported by the government with food. I'm afraid Chen Dasheng's side....."

Fang Zheng Yi immediately became alert and pondered for a moment: "Okay, I know about this. Tell Shen Zhaoxuan not to act rashly, and try to avoid the other party if they take the initiative to cause trouble."

"Are there any other situations to report?"

Lao Qi silently walked over, holding a small box in his hand, and put it in front of Fang Zheng Yi.

"Master, the things you wanted are ready, and the silver foil is also inside."

"However... the effect is not very good, but it is definitely enough to use."

Fang Zheng Yi took the box, opened it, and took a look. Inside was a miniature version of a phonograph.

The volume was probably more than half the size of the one in the county yamen, and it was about the size of a book in his hand.

Fang Zheng Yi closed the box and smiled: "Not bad, how is the house being built?"

"It's built! It's being renovated."

Fang Zheng Yi looked at Lao Qi in surprise.

When he came, he asked Lao Qi to build a luxurious brothel in one month to attract wealthy merchants in the city. Now it has only been a few days and it has been built?

One month was just his understatement, just to urge the progress. It is normal to build an ordinary three-story house in a few months.

A brothel, you just built it in a few days?

Looking at Fang Zheng Yi's suspicious eyes, Lao Qi smiled honestly.

"It's too late to build it. I bought a brothel and also bought the restaurant next to it."

"It's just a simple renovation on the outside. We have a lot of people, so the progress is very fast!"

"The inside is being connected and reconnected according to your layout."

Fang Zheng Yi raised his eyebrows. He had neglected this, forgetting about the acquisition.

Then he changed the subject: "Lao Qi, I remember you can make looms, right? Find some time to make a few looms and train a few apprentices by the way."

Lao Qi was stunned for a moment: "I can make them, but is it okay to teach them to outsiders?"

"What's wrong with that! Don't make the latest ones, use the previous generation technology! Technology decentralization, let outsiders make the market, and we eat the cake."

"After I clean up those mice, I will recruit more people to set up several textile factories in Jianjiang and export the finished products."

Lao Qi thought for a while and felt it made sense, nodded and silently retreated.

Then Fang Zheng Yi said to Wu Sheng: "Master Wu, before the brothel is built, please search the entire city for a batch of beauties. The subsequent operation will depend on you."

"The people you recruit must be voluntary, and you can also go to other brothels to recruit. Don't be afraid to spend money, it's all up to you."

Wu Sheng smiled and nodded in agreement.

His professional level has been officially recognized by the master, and he has been entrusted with an important task!

Turning his head, he asked again: "Master... I didn't understand the decoration of our brothel. How should it be done in the end?"

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng Yi was excited!

Since he crossed over, running a brothel has been his most active thing.

Seeing the curious eyes of everyone looking over, Fang Zheng Yi said triumphantly: "This brothel is divided into a dozen large rooms."

"I call them theme rooms!"

"As the name suggests, one room, one theme! For example, when a guest enters one of the rooms, the woman will be wearing a short skirt and cat ears."

Cat ears? What is that!?

Everyone's eyes were full of question marks... but Wu Sheng tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands excitedly: "Oh! This is wonderful! Master is a genius, Sheng is far inferior!"

Fang Zheng Yi looked at Wu Sheng suspiciously: "I haven't finished speaking yet, what did you think of?"

Wu Sheng stroked his beard and said triumphantly: "Isn't this the same as the Water Overflowing Jinshan in the Snow Moon Tower? Cat ear dress can give people a novel experience. In my opinion, make two more cat feet, cat claw gloves, and a cat tail to wear together."

"When serving tea to guests, this kind of dress will definitely be refreshing! Adding some plot, isn't this the cat demon in the Gods and Ghosts Records!"

"I think this theme is called Cat Maid Cafe, which is pretty good."

Fang Zheng Yi: ".........."
