"Yes, sir!"
After the two relatively short but strong women bowed to Jincheng respectfully, they turned around to get the tools needed for cleaning.
"Little Fiona! You are jealous! You can't tolerate it..."
Jincheng looked at the two women leaving, with a helpless smile on his face.
He said that they should live their own lives, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't wait to replace all those young and beautiful maids.
Jincheng is not a fool, how could he not see that Fiona's jealousy has become a disaster, and even she herself is about to be drowned by the vinegar smell.
In fact, Jincheng never had any thoughts about those little maids, so he just found Fiona's jealous behavior a little funny.
However, in the current situation, he has done everything he should and can do.
Jincheng now planned to calm himself and Fiona down for a while and think about the problems between them.
After all, it was indeed a big mistake for Jincheng to step on multiple boats.
But if we put aside this fact for the time being, let's put aside the facts. Does it mean that Fiona has no fault at all?
Jincheng felt that he could reach the strength of version t1 after he exerted all his strength.
This is the stage closest to version t0, and Jincheng inexplicably became justified.
When his strength is really like that of the stars, gods, and natural gods, and he becomes the version t0 of Runeland.
I'm afraid he will really dare to say this in front of Fiona with confidence.
At that time, Fiona must have no choice but to accept it.
t0 is no longer limited to a single country.
...
Beihai Forest, next to a lush forest, there is a place called Linmao Village.
There is a unique and lively fixed rural market here.
Walking into the market, I heard shouts:
"Come and have a look! Freshly dug vegetables, just dug from the ground..."
Then, another shout was heard from the other side:
"White sugar! High-end goods! Selling white sugar..."
However, some people questioned:
"White sugar? I see you are so yellow, how dare you call it white sugar?"
The seller retorted unconvinced:
"Humph, this kind of white sugar, that is a delicacy that only nobles can often taste!"
In addition, there are also various delicious aromas.
Many vendors are selling cooked food.
"Take a look, the fragrant meat pie! The taste is excellent, it will definitely make you linger!"
"Black bread, selling at a low price..."
The whole market is full of dazzling goods, not only selling various daily necessities such as grains, vegetables and fruits, but also a variety of daily necessities that are not exquisite but extremely practical.
The market seemed particularly prosperous, crowded and lively.
It successfully attracted many free people from the North Sea Forest to come and patronize.
Even those people under the lord, as long as they had a little spare money, would come to pick out some items they liked in their spare time.
"Fiona did a great job!"
Jincheng came to the market he personally planned and established early in the morning.
This market connects more than a dozen villages and three towns in the North Sea Forest, witnessing Fiona's efforts and wisdom.
Of course, Jincheng also played an important role in it.
At the beginning, the man told Fiona, a noble girl, about his ideas for the future planning of the territory.
At that time, she said that she not only had unique insights, but also had certain practical experience.
So, Jincheng confidently handed over the territory to Fiona to take care of it.
Now, when Jincheng saw the results with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with the desolate scene when he first came, the current market area has been rejuvenated and is much better.
At least it has taken shape and has a good appearance.
There is no doubt that Jincheng has carefully read the plan written by Fiona.
After all, this piece of land is related to his vital interests, and Jincheng naturally pays special attention to the development plan of the territory.
Through these words, he learned that Fiona made full use of the military funds given to the garrison troops and cleverly guided them to consume locally;
At the same time, she also provided some tax exemption policies for those businessmen with strong financial resources.
This effective construction of supply and demand relationship is like a powerful catalyst, which quickly stimulated market vitality.
In addition, taxation is also an indispensable part of the territory's fiscal revenue.
Looking back at history, it can be found that the original form of taxation is actually the so-called "protection fee".
It is precisely thanks to these practices thatThe implementation of effective and immediate measures has brought this prosperous and bustling trade fair into being.
In the world, only taxes and death are unavoidable.
The newly noble Viscount Jincheng once discussed with Fiona whether he should directly invoke welfare policies and use three years of tax exemption as a bargaining chip to win the hearts of the people.
After all, in the many literary works that Jincheng read in his previous life, once this trick was used, the territory would show a straight-line prosperity.
However, to Jincheng's regret, this proposal was rejected by Fiona, and the noble girl pointed out many potential defects and problems to Jincheng at the time.
More importantly, taxation itself is a means, and Fiona believes that she can use some taxation strategies to promote the development of the territory.
For example, using tax reductions to attract a lot of foreign funds and population.
Having received a comprehensive education, Jincheng seems to understand this, but without the dirty Piyanzi, he does not understand it.
Of course, Jincheng is not saying that Fiona, who understands aristocratic politics, is dirty. She is clean and knows it.
Compared with those aristocrats with ill intentions, Jincheng lacks such despicable scheming.
He does not have the mentality of being in politics.
Along the way, many people avoided the imposing Jincheng, but as expected, no one could see that he was the owner of this land.
In fact, Jincheng never thought of making a big fanfare to conduct the so-called "secret visit".
So he did not bring anyone and came here alone.
After all, with such a strong strength, there is no place in the world that he cannot go.
Until Jincheng stepped into a large-scale chamber of commerce.
The four characters "Lindi Chamber of Commerce" were written on the door plaque of the chamber of commerce.
Originally, this chamber of commerce was jointly formed by two powerful large merchants and six small and medium-sized merchants.
As soon as Jin Cheng stepped into the door of the Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeeper who was in charge of the guarding desk saw him coming in and immediately jumped out from behind the counter.
The shopkeeper was short and fat, and at this moment he looked like a rolling ball.
However, his movements were extremely agile, and he jumped down from the counter in the blink of an eye.
"My Lord Viscount! My Lord Viscount has condescended to visit our shop, which really adds luster to our shop!"
The shopkeeper was full of flattery, and he knelt down to pay his respects to Jin Cheng without any scruples. Merchants should not fight with officials.
For the local officials, he didn't know what the four major families of Demacia were. He only knew that the Lord was the sky.
You know, no one could see through Jin Cheng's identity outside just now.
But who knew that he would be recognized as soon as he entered this Chamber of Commerce.
"Stand up and talk!" Jincheng looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, wondering in his heart, because he was sure that he had never seen this person before.
As if he had seen through Jincheng's inner doubts, the shopkeeper jumped up from the floor swiftly and walked quickly to Jincheng in small steps.
With a flattering smile on his face, he bowed his waist, lowered his head, and said respectfully:
"Mr. Viscount, you may not know that when you came to take over and rectify the Lindi Chamber of Commerce.
I have had the honor to witness from afar your heroic spirit when you spent a lot of money and your noble and respectful demeanor!"
Jincheng couldn't help laughing and chuckled twice. At the same time, he also wanted to give the shopkeeper a chance to show off, so he asked in a friendly manner:
"Haha, okay, what's your name?"
"My name is Titifan! My name is Titifan!"
The short and fat shopkeeper was overjoyed, his face full of smiles as bright as blooming flowers, he was so excited and flattered that he looked like he was blessed by God.
Even the facial features that were originally tangled together were stretched out at this moment, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Well, very good! Titifan! Have you arranged the supplies and horses that I asked you to prepare in advance?
You know, we are about to set off for the central region of Freljord, and the journey is not short!"
Jincheng nodded slightly to show his approval, then gently patted the short and fat shopkeeper on the shoulder and continued to ask.
