Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 128 Busy with the Scene

With Lin Yi's affirmative answer, Xiao Changyun felt a little relieved.

Anyway, he knew that Lin Yi had promised not to seize the market in Beijing, so he could do business without restraint!

"That matter has come to this point, and I have done everything I should do."

Lin Yi slowly said, "I suggest that you let Chen Chong build a chamber of commerce."

This was something he had discussed with Chen Chong during this period.

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Xiao Changyun's eyes lit up and he found it somewhat novel.

"It's a gathering place for all the shop owners in the capital."

"By then, you will know exactly how many bosses there are in the entire capital, what they do, how much money they pay you, and how much tax they pay to the court."

Lin Yi's suggestion was quite tempting.

It seemed like he was helping Xiao Changyun figure out how much he could actually embezzle.

In fact, he is preparing for his future.

"That's right, Chen Chong, you can do this."

"But in the end, we still have to let the Ministry of Revenue come..."

Xiao Changyun nodded slightly. In business, he had never thought of such a good idea!

"Ministry of Revenue, isn't it just a matter of a word from Prime Minister Xiao?"

Lin Yi's "praise" made Xiao Changyun even happier.

I didn't expect that Lin Yi, who has been against me for almost a year, could still have such constructive suggestions.

"In that case... then... we should discuss where to locate the Chamber of Commerce."

Now that the first step has been achieved, Lin Yi naturally has to bring up the most important thing: selling the house!

"Prime Minister Xiao, this is a large object. We should find a grand place for it."

Chen Chong also suggested.

Xiao Changyun thought about it carefully, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Lin Yi, you are not going to sell that house, are you?"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are truly a master of strategy."

Lin Yi praised him with a smile of admiration, "It would be uncomfortable for me to live in an empty house. Why not use it as a chamber of commerce? The Prime Minister only needs to spend a little money."

Xiao Changyun thought in silence for a while.

Since Lin Yi has already taught me all his "secret skills", it wouldn't be a bad idea to spend a little money to buy the original Prince Qi's Mansion.

"How much do you want?"

Xiao Changyun asked slowly.

"I spent over ten thousand taels on it, and I'll give the Prime Minister a discount of nine thousand taels."

The price was reasonable, and Lin Yi was selling it at a loss, so Xiao Changyun agreed immediately.

"Chen Chong, you will be the president of the Chamber of Commerce from now on. Take good care of this matter."

Xiao Changyun said this and took some instant noodles back.

I don’t know why he has been craving instant noodles these days.

Since I produced it here, I could just take a few pieces back home.

After the acceptance was completed, Xiao Changyun left.

Chen Chong and Lin Yi smiled at each other.

These nine thousand taels were actually given to Chen Chong by Lin Yi.

Because Xiao Changyun needed to spend the money, Lin Yi had no intention of keeping it.

So when Xiao Changyun paid nine thousand taels, all the money went into Chen Chong's pocket.

This number is already an astronomical figure for Chen Chong.

Of course, it is not a big amount compared to his business.

However, after Xiao Changyun's "plundering" every month, he could only get a pitiful few hundred taels.

Chen Chong, who controls the four major cities in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, can only get a few hundred taels. It is easy to imagine the situation of the rest of the bosses behind the scenes.

Since Lin Yi can help them make more money, they will naturally turn to Lin Yi unconditionally.

"I'll move my things out when I get back today, so you guys should prepare well."

Lin Yi said this because he was busy with his work.

During the more than one month that Xiao Changyun was "surveilling", Lin Yi's men were all busy.

At the ferry selected by Lin Yi, Xu Chuan asked Huang Chang and Yang Jian to go and make preparations first.

By this time the preparations should be complete.

Lin Yi left after he finished speaking, and the bosses behind Chen Chong looked confused.

"Boss Lin is testing the waters for us."

"He has found a better business. If it's good, we can make more money in the future."

Hearing Chen Chong's words, all the bosses' faces were filled with excitement.

"But you all have to keep your mouths shut. Anyway, Xiao Changyun can take as much as he wants from the money earned in the capital."

"Outside the capital, we can make as much money as we want!"

After saying that, Chen Chong took these bosses all the way back to the capital and they all went home.

The next morning, Lin Yi packed his luggage and left the capital.

Of course, the news that Chen Chong had been bribed had already reached Huangfu Qingling's ears late at night the previous night.

Bao Bu Tong also understood all of Lin Yi's plans.

Now it seems that Xiao Changyun has monopolized the entire market in Beijing, but as long as Lin Yi is willing and Chen Chong exposes him, Xiao Changyun will have no way to defend himself!

At this time in the palace, Huangfu Qingling was preparing for the morning court in the study.

"Bao Bu Tong, remember to mention those things during the morning court session and let Xiao Changyun explain them in detail."

Huangfu Qingling arranged.

"The minister obeys the order!"

As the morning court began, after the six ministers presented their sacrificial reports, Bao Bu Tong stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. Recently, various commodities have been experiencing problems."

"I heard that Prime Minister Xiao went to investigate personally. I don't know what the result was."

Xiao Changyun's original plan to act in secret was revealed.

"Prime Minister Xiao, what's going on? Tell me."

Huangfu Qingling continued speaking and then looked at Xiao Changyun.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Xiao Changyun naturally answered easily and told the story he had made up before.

"In the final analysis, it was someone under Lin Yi who cut corners."

After telling the story, Xiao Changyun explained the matter clearly.

But he still had some concerns.

There are some precautions that Huangfu Qingling needs him to know.

Because Xiao Changyun did not tell Huangfu Qingling about this matter, he did it privately with the Minister of Justice.

Therefore, now that Bao Bu Tong spoke up, and Huangfu Qingling deliberately asked, he was telling Xiao Changyun: I can see everything you do.

At least this will prevent Xiao Changyun from doing something in a high-profile manner.

On the other side, Lin Yi had arrived at the post station with his luggage.

Xu Chuan went out to greet him and invited Lin Yi in.

"Boss Lin, the ferry has made some preparations, and the design drawings at the Ministry of Industry have also been prepared. They are just waiting for your review."

As Xu Chuan spoke, he took Lin Yi to a side room to rest.

After putting down their luggage, Xu Chuan and Lin Yi came to a larger living room at the back of the inn.

Here, all the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works who were previously dismissed are here.

In other words, all of Lin Yi's disciples are here.

"Master Lin, the design drawings have been completed, they just need to be confirmed."

"In terms of materials, Yang Jian and Huang Chang have already prepared a lot during this period."

As he said this, Lin Yi sat at the table and looked at the design drawing of a comprehensive post station across a river.
