Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

"Ding! Choose to reject Zou Zhi's conditions and instead hold a bidding meeting, with the reward: a secret recipe for brewing wine."

Su Yan received a prompt from the system after returning from the Zou Mansion.

When Zou Zhi offered him the conditions, the system gave him two choices.

One was to agree, the other was to refuse.

One was to reward the secret recipe for brewing wine, and the other was to reward one hundred top-quality war horses.

To be honest, when Su Yan saw these two rewards, he was actually quite conflicted.

Reasonably speaking, he should choose to refuse.

Because the location of the five streets in Nanshi is indeed very important.

He couldn't just give the five streets to the Zou family because they had helped him before and he had a good relationship with Zou Yu.

He is now a local official and the leader of a force.

Every decision he makes will affect the development of the entire Zhuo County.

He must proceed from reality and maximize his benefits.

Although the conditions offered by the Zou family are good, but What if other families can open better shops?

What if the Zou family’s shops are not strong enough, while other families’ shops are stronger.

Should he favor the Zou family because of this?

This is something Su Yan would never allow.

Now is the initial stage of his foundation development, and it is also the most important stage, and there must not be any mistakes.

This matter may seem trivial, but it will affect his image of fairness.

He admits that he is not honest, but he must be fair.

If other families are stronger than the Zou family, but are unwilling to give him gifts or show kindness to him, then he will definitely not even pay attention.

Under the premise of fairness, the first thing to guarantee is submission and loyalty to him.

He does not want those who are unwilling to submit to him, no matter how good they are!

But when he thought of the one hundred war horses he had lost, he felt so sad.

"Damn, one hundred top-quality war horses can form one hundred cavalrymen, and I just abandoned them like that."

Su Yan said to himself in a depressed tone

"Forget it. Youzhou is in the north after all, so it is quite convenient to get war horses. I’ll think of a way when I have the chance."

Shaking his head and dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, Su Yan fell asleep.

There was no conversation that night.

The next day, when Su Yan was dealing with government documents, a servant came to report that someone from the Jian family wanted to see him.

After he went to see them, the Jian family first exchanged pleasantries, and then told them the purpose of their visit.

South City Fifth Street!

The Jian family's purpose was simple. They came for the South City Fifth Street and hoped that Su Yan would allocate it to them for use.

Of course, benefits were also indispensable.

The Jian family also offered great conditions, but they were smaller than those of the Zou family.

Su Yan said a few words to the man, then said that he needed to think about it and sent him away.

Not long after he left, someone else came to report that people from other families had also come. For the whole morning and afternoon, Su Yan hardly stopped, and had been dealing with people sent by various families.

Their goal was the South City Fifth Street, but the benefits they offered were high and low.

Su Yan, without exception, did not agree and sent them all away.

In the evening, he called Du Ji over

"I plan to hold a bidding meeting and let all the businesses in the county compete for the right to use the five streets of Nanshi."

Su Yan said.

Du Ji thought about it and said,"My lord, this is a good move, but we must do a good job of selection and be fair, otherwise the county government will lose the trust of everyone."

"I understand this, so I plan to let you take charge of this matter. You should make preparations in the next two days, spread the news, and then we can hold this conference."

"Here!"

"One more thing, I have a secret recipe for making wine here."

Su Yan handed him a piece of rice paper.

"There is a special secret recipe recorded here, which can make a peerless wine. You can secretly find someone to brew it and sell it. When the time comes, you can use the money you earn to replenish the treasury."

"I understand."

When Du Ji heard this, he immediately took the paper handed to him by Su Yan.

After opening it and reading it twice, he put it in his arms.

"Then, sir, I will take my leave first."

Su Yan waved his hand, and Du Ji left immediately.

Two days later, the news that the county government was going to hold a bidding conference spread.

After hearing the news, all the shops began to prepare. After inquiring, it was found that the person in charge of this bidding was the county magistrate Du Ji.

So within two days, many representatives of various families went to visit Du Ji's home.

Du Ji was also a veteran in officialdom and knew this kind of thing very well.

With Su Yan's instruction, he said good words and accepted all the gifts from various families, but no one agreed.

Each family felt that if their gifts were accepted, the matter must be stable, so they all waited for the arrival of the bidding conference.

County government, backyard.

Su Yan and Du Ji sat facing each other.

Du Ji handed him a list, and then said:"My lord, these are all the gifts that the families who visited my house these days gave me."

Su Yan took the list and took a look, then smiled and said:"Didn't the Marquis keep some for himself?"

"Everything is for the master's plan, Ji dare not embezzle it."

Du Ji said seriously. Su Yan smiled and said:"These noble families are really rich. In the past few days, the gifts they sent are worth millions of dollars."

"Together with the things sent by the Zou family in the past two days, it is enough for us to form another 2,000-man army."

"Congratulations, my lord!"

Du Ji bowed and smiled,"It's a pity that we don't have enough war horses and cavalry equipment, so we can't form a cavalry."

"Don't worry, we have only been here for a short time. Believe me, we will have all these in no time."

Su Yan said with a smile

"grown ups!"

"The bidding meeting is about to begin, and everyone is waiting for the county magistrate to come over."

The servant came over to report.

"Got it, go down."

Su Yan dismissed the servants, and Du Ji immediately stood up and said,"In this case, my lord, I will go first."
