In the evening, Huang Shi, dressed in black, quietly approached Ping Xi Wang Mansion.
Huang Shi might not be the strongest in a head-on confrontation, but he was good at concealing himself and was skilled in assassination techniques. In particular, Ping Xi Wang Mansion was not a big family, and its walls were not particularly high, so Huang Shi easily sneaked in.
Huang Shi quietly walked around the mansion. Because there were many courtyards in the backyard, he couldn't find Du Qi's study room for a while. Helplessly, Huang Shi grabbed a servant of the mansion and asked for the location of the study room. Then he knocked the servant out and quietly went to the study room.
When he approached the study room, the sky was completely dark. Huang Shi didn't go outside the door, but quietly climbed to the roof and came to the middle of the study room.
He lay on the roof and quietly moved the tiles away. The burning oil lamp in the room dispelled the darkness. Especially in Huang Shi's position, looking down, he could see Du Qi and Liu Zhengxi and hear their conversation.
At the moment, Du Qi and Liu Zhengxi had just finished talking about Guo Xiaozheng.
Liu Zhengxi stopped talking about Guo Xiaozheng and said seriously, "Your Highness, Ye Daosheng, as the county magistrate of Jiuquan County, has set things right and abolished the protection fee for merchants, and collected taxes according to the imperial court. In addition, he has also exempted the people from paying exorbitant taxes. Although it seems that the government and people are harmonious on the surface, in my humble opinion, it's still not enough. "
"Jiuquan County needs to be developed, and the people need to live a good life. The current ruling method is far from enough."
Liu Zhengxi put forward his opinion.
Du Qi said, "I've also noticed this problem. Mr. Liu, do you have any suggestions? "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Your Highness, I have three suggestions."
Du Qi leaned forward slightly and said seriously, "Elaborate in detail. This Prince is all ears. It's related to the livelihood of thousands of people in Jiuquan County and even Suzhou. We can't be careless. "
At this moment, Huang Shi, who was on the roof, felt chilly. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes. Even if it was cold, it was still within Huang Shi's tolerance.
Huang Shi was a little curious.
She was curious about what Liu Zhengxi would say.
Huang Shi had always thought that Du Qi and Jiang Zhengdao were as black as crows in the world. Even if Jiang Zhengdao was evil, Du Qi might not be a good person either. That was why he came to assassinate Du Qi.
Now that he heard Du Qi and Liu Zhengxi's conversation, Huang Shi suppressed his desire to attack. Instead, he was somewhat interested. Especially when Du Qi and Liu Zhengxi were talking in private, they still looked like they were thinking about the people. This was something that Huang Shi did not expect.
It seemed like they were really thinking for the sake of the people. Therefore, Huang Shi quietly leaned on the roof and listened.
Liu Zhengxi paused for a moment, then said, "First, it's to attract people to Jiuquan County. Nothing could be done without people. Once there is no one, nothing can be done. "
"Whether it's the development of business or the strengthening of the army, people are indispensable. The most important thing now is to increase the population of Jiuquan County. Jiuquan County is vast and sparsely populated, but there is still plenty of land. "
"Although true good farmland is extremely rare, it is still very rare. However, there is still plenty of normal farmland that can be cultivated. "
"Especially before this, when the Jiang family confiscated thousands of acres of good farmland, as well as many medium-grade farmland."
"These can be used to attract the people."
"As long as the people are willing to come to Jiuquan County, the government will grant them land so that they can settle down. In addition, if they have a skill or are literate, the government will grant them good farmland. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Once this order is given, countless people will gather here."
"Once countless citizens come and the land within the borders is used up and the government is unable to grant land, then Your Highness' cement factory, restaurant, tea shop, bookstore, and other industries will need people. You can let them work there."
"In short, the people who come can settle down."
Liu Zhengxi's expression was solemn. He said, "After these policies, the problem of the sparse population in Jiuquan County will be greatly alleviated."
Du Qi's eyes lit up when he heard that. He smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Mr. Liu's plan is very thorough."
Liu Zhengxi said, "Your Highness, you flatter me."
Huang Shi, who was on the roof, thought about it carefully. He had to admit that if Du Qi followed Liu Zhengxi's plan, it would definitely be a blessing for everyone. Countless people would be able to escape from their difficult situations.
Thinking of Du Qi's plan, Huang Shi's desire to assassinate Du Qi faded a little.
Killing Du Qi was a sin.
It would cause countless people to be unable to settle down.
Huang Shi's thoughts turned, but he did not leave. He was still lying on the roof, listening to the conversation in the room.
Liu Zhengxi continued, "Your Highness, the second point is the policy for the development of business. All the merchants from Suzhou who come to Jiuquan County to do business, whether they have been in Jiuquan County before or after, will be given tax relief. "
"In addition, the local merchants who are doing business in Jiuquan County will also be given preferential treatment and the amount of tax they pay will be reduced. If this policy is implemented, although it won't be able to attract countless merchants at once, many merchants from the surrounding areas will definitely gather in Jiuquan County. "
"Because Jiuquan County can give them benefits."
"Moreover, because of the first point, countless people will gather in Jiuquan County, which will also create business opportunities. The first point and the second point complement each other. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Jiuquan County will develop faster, and more people will have the opportunity to make money. After all, when there are merchants, they will have to hire some waiters and waiters to work for them. The people in Jiuquan County will have the opportunity to make money and support their families. "
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Du Qi nodded.
When he looked at Liu Zhengxi, there was a touch of splendor in his eyes. Liu Zhengxi's method, to put it simply, was to attract investment. However, it was a relatively simple method to attract investment.
Under the current circumstances, it was the most suitable method.
Huang Shi, who was lying on the roof, was even more impressed. After he heard Liu Zhengxi's words, the trace of killing intent in his heart disappeared without a trace. Because he felt that Du Qi and his aide Liu Zhengxi were sincerely thinking for the people.
Killing Du Qi would definitely be a disaster for the people. Therefore, Huang Shi's killing intent had already flown beyond the clouds.
Huang Shi admired Du Qi even more.
He felt that Du Qi was really good, and he was a person who really thought for the people. In fact, Huang Shi was even more dissatisfied with the person who issued the mission to assassinate Du Qi. He felt that people like Du Qi, who cared for the country and the people, were really rare. It was also a blessing for the people in Suzhou and even Longyou Road.
There was actually someone who wanted to assassinate Du Qi.
That was simply outrageous.
It was really abominable.
Originally, he came to assassinate Du Qi, but because he eavesdropped on the conversation between Du Qi and Liu Zhengxi, his position changed.
