Du Qi continued, "Of course, the establishment of the security team may reach the ears of the East Palace and be discovered by the people there. The East Palace will take the opportunity to cause trouble and instruct the Imperial Censors under the East Palace to report uncle. "
"But this won't affect it."
"Because the establishment of the security team, although there are small details, the general direction is excellent. You take the money and develop the place better. Therefore, during this period, you have to do a statistical analysis of the development of the entire South City. For example, a certain shop's business has improved a lot during this period. "
"This data must be accurate and detailed. There can be no mistakes."
"In addition, after you establish the security team and maintain the South City of Chang 'an, compared to before, the number of incidents and conflicts in the South City must also be calculated. And the money you take cannot be a protection fee, but in the name of maintaining law and order. "
A bright light flashed in Du Qi's eyes.
This era was not an era of perfect law and order. It was an era of monarchism. A single word from the monarch could decide the life and death of countless people. It could decide everything.
In the end, there had to be political achievements.
As long as there were results, even if it was treading on the line, everything would be fine. So what Du Qi wanted to do was to let the East Palace seize this loophole. But in the end, Du Qi took out real data and slapped them in the face.
This was Du Qi's plan.
After hearing this, Zhang Jingping was dumbfounded. Because Du Qi's plan was really ingenious.
It was obvious that he had set a trap for the East Palace.
The problem was that the East Palace would fall into the trap sooner or later and would not let go of this opportunity.
Zhang Jingping said seriously, "Young Master's plan is exquisite. I admire it. But after we establish the security team, can it really improve the business of all the shops? "
"It definitely will."
Du Qi nodded and answered.
He thought for a moment and said, "This matter will be tested in a small area in the South City. You can give it a try. Once it succeeds, it won't be too late to consider promoting it to Chang 'an. Then, you will know what to do. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Young Master is wise!"
Du Qi continued, "As for the third point, it's even simpler. In such a big city like Chang 'an, there seem to be countless officials, nobles, and rich people, but there are also countless poor people. "
"It's not easy to stay in Chang 'an."
"This isn't nonsense, nor is it a joke. It's real."
"Therefore, the amount of money you charge is small at the beginning, but as more and more merchants come, the amount you charge will increase. In the end, many people will even take the initiative to give you money after tasting the benefits. You don't even need to collect it."
"A portion of this money will be collected for my own use. The rest will be saved, and a portion will be set aside to help the lonely elderly and adopt homeless children."
"However, there is no need for this matter to be carried out with great fanfare. It must be carried out in a low-key manner."
Du Qi said, "Because this matter will ultimately be your protective talisman. With this series of arrangements, even if the Eastern Palace wants to submit a report, there won't be any problems. "
After Zhang Jingping heard this, he sighed and said, "Young Master is wise, this lowly one admires you."
He was even more convinced.
This move of Du Qi's contained too many calculations, too many arrangements, and he had the Eastern Palace firmly in his grasp.
Du Qi chuckled and said, "Of course, in reality, you can make a living in more ways. You can come to me later, and I'll slowly discuss it with you. There are too many things to do now, and I can't think of any other ideas for the time being. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Thank you, Young Master."
Du Qi said, "Now, I have to go to the Chang 'an County yamen to settle various matters. Da Longtou, after our conversation, you can start to push forward. But remember, you can't force it. Convince people with reason and virtue. In short, do things in a way, and don't mess around. "
Zhang Jingping asked, "Young Master, how do you convince people with reason and virtue?"
Du Qi said, "Let's give a simple example. For example, in the southern area of your city, there are many other forces besides you, and these people also want to collect protection fees. Your people dare to drive these people away and protect these merchants. In this way, won't people be grateful? With this premise, when you do your job, because the people are grateful, they will believe you. Of course, you have to explain your reasons clearly. This is how you convince people with reason and virtue. "
After hearing this, Zhang Jingping's eyes darted around, and he had an idea in his mind.
He admired Young Master Du very much.
Du Qi continued, "In short, if you want to collect money, you have to make people pay you willingly, not unwillingly. You have to make people believe you. This is the key."
"Understood!"
Zhang Jingping's heart settled down.
Du Qi still had things to do, so he did not delay any longer. He got up and left the Qinglong Hall, and went to the Chang 'an County yamen. The Chang 'an County yamen was close to Xi City, and it was not far from the southern part of the city. Du Qi took the carriage, and it did not take long for him to arrive at the yamen.
After he entered, he saw Du Chuke.
Du Chuke's temperament and attitude had changed. He had become tough, and was no longer as restrained and submissive as before.
After listening to Du Qi's analysis, he was no longer afraid.
He had made up his mind.
Du Chuke's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Erlang, I came here early this morning to deal with the matter. Under my bold and decisive action, I dealt with a group of people. At that time, the effect was immediate, and the people of the Cao Cao did not dare to disobey. It's so comfortable to be in control of the overall situation! When I dealt with the people, some people threatened me, but I dealt with them directly. "
Du Qi said, "Uncle, you did the right thing!"
After all, Du Chuke was the county magistrate of Chang 'an, and he was appointed by the Emperor.
With this arrangement, no one dared to stop him. To put it bluntly, Du Chuke was the local tyrant when he worked in the Chang 'an County yamen. Anyone who dared to make things difficult for Du Chuke was asking for trouble.
Du Chuke turned around and said, "Erlang, how did it go when you went to see Zhang Jingping?"
"Everything went well!"
Du Qi answered with a smile.
Immediately after, Du Qi talked about the establishment of the security team, as well as the calculations behind it. After hearing this, Du Chuke's face lit up with praise, and he said, "Erlang, you're really clever. I don't even know how you calculated it. How could you be so calculative? "
Du Qi said, "Uncle, you're too kind. I'm not good at calculating every step. I'm just used to being schemed against. I can't help it! I'm just a child, and I've been schemed against by the Eastern Palace. I can't do without any means to protect myself! I don't want to be schemed against, and I don't want my family to be schemed against either. "
After a pause, Du Qi said, "Uncle, being the county magistrate of Chang 'an is a lucrative job. Because of your achievements, you'll be able to enter the eyes of the Emperor. However, there are also many troubles, so I have to arrange everything to ensure your safety. "
Du Chuke said, "You're not bad, kid. The Du family is really impressed with you. "
Du Qi chuckled.
He then went on to talk about some more detailed arrangements and explained the various matters. When the time came, the specific matters would be communicated between Zhang Jingping and Du Chuke. Du Qi would not interfere.
After all was said and done, Du Qi got up and left, returning to the Du family.
He still had his own matters to attend to.
