Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Nanliang, Baocheng, Lu Xunhuan came back after inspecting it.

During the days he was away, Zhao Tongpan finally recruited all his secretaries.

Except for Tao'er and Li Susu who were out, the other secretaries were all assigned their duties under the arrangement of Zhao Tongpan.

As soon as Lu Xunhuan returned to the yamen, he saw Zhao Lan.

Not to mention, she looked completely different when she put on the clothes specially made for secretaries by the state government.

Less weak and more heroic.

Zhao Lan saw him and walked over to him. With a smile on her face, she asked softly, "Are you back?"

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "Don't think that just because we have a good relationship you can break the rules. You are my secretary, so when you see me you must show respect and greet me."

Zhao Lan took two steps back, straightened her body, and then saluted: "Sir, you have worked hard."

Lu Xun Huan walked into the government office and asked, "What are you responsible for?"

Zhao Lan followed him: "My father asked me to help you with your daily life, such as whether you have eaten, when you want a haircut, and whether your clothes are dirty..."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Is this the secretary? This has become internal affairs."

Zhao Lan whispered, "I already know you're my future wife, so it's no different from household affairs."

Lu Xunhuan turned around, looked at Hua Xiaotao and Li Susu who were standing far away, and said to Zhao Lan, "How about this, I have ten secretaries under me, and you will be in charge of their internal affairs."

"They've been traveling with me all the way and are tired. Take them back home quickly and give them food, a bath, and some rest."

Zhao Lan pouted and said, "Doesn't that mean I'll just be a handyman?"

Lu Xun Huan touched her head and said, "That's what housekeeping is for. If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else to do it."

Zhao Lan quickly said, "Okay, I'll do it. Then I'll take them both with me."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Go ahead, but just be together on a daily basis. Don't gossip. Each of you should stick to your own duties and do your job well."

Zhao Lan saluted: "Yes, sir."

She bowed to Yun Zhongzi behind Lu Xunhuan and said, "Master, you have worked hard."

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and chuckled, "It's not hard. How are you? Have you made any progress recently?"

Zhao Lan replied, "It's already the fifth level of the Phoenix Realm."

Yun Zhongzi nodded: "Not bad, keep up the good work."

After Zhao Lan took Tao'er and Li Susu away, Lu Xunhuan summoned officials from various departments and held a meeting. He listened to the development status of various industries.

Overall, everything is moving forward rapidly.

As all industries have flourished and employment opportunities have increased significantly, almost everyone in Baocheng has a job and an income.

People's income has increased, which in turn stimulates consumption in all aspects, and business in all walks of life has improved.

In this way, a virtuous circle has been formed in the Baocheng Prefecture area.

After listening to the report, Lu Xunhuan said, "Everyone, the development of a state depends not only on domestic demand, but also on foreign trade. Do you understand the term foreign trade?"

An official replied, "My guess is that it's basically about encouraging all industries to go global and sell our Baocheng's goods throughout the country."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "That's what I mean."

He said to his secretary Cheng Yu, "Cheng Yu, notify Gao Heng, president of the Baoshang Association, to gather representatives from all walks of life and hold a trade discussion meeting in the State Auditorium in three days."

Cheng Yu bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Three days later, at the Baocheng Prefecture Auditorium, more than 200 representatives from various industries under the Baocheng Merchants Association came to attend a trade discussion meeting.

Lu Xunhuan stood on the podium and said, "Everyone, I believe everyone wants to make more money, right?"

Below, everyone answered in unison: "Yes."

Lu Xunhuan asked Cheng Yu and another assistant to unfold a map of the Southern Liang Kingdom.

"Do you guys usually study geography? Do you know where the nine major cities of Nanliang are located?"

He pointed to a place marked with a red circle on the map and said, "This is Yingzhou City, the capital of our Southern Liang Kingdom."

He scanned the room and asked, "Who opened a branch in Yingzhou City? Raise your hand."

At the scene, everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hand.

Lu Xun Huan looked around at everyone again and said, "Why isn't there a single one? Come on, Lu Pan, tell me. Our capital of Nan Liang is incredibly prosperous and in huge demand. Why hasn't your tea shop opened a branch in Yingzhou City?"

Lu Pan stood up and saluted, saying, "Sir, Yingzhou is five thousand miles away from my Baocheng. It's really too far. Besides, I'm unfamiliar with the place and dare not go there rashly. If business goes bad, I will lose everything."

Lu Xunhuan motioned for him to sit down.

Then he said, "I know everyone's concerns. They're all worried about losing money in an unfamiliar place."

He changed the subject: "However, without taking risks, how can we create a new world? We, the people of Baocheng, must have the spirit of daring to take risks and act boldly. We are not afraid of heaven or earth, and we must even venture into the Dragon Palace."

He called Lu Pan again and said, "Lu Pan, my Baocheng tea is top-grade. Do you dare to open a branch in Yingzhou City?"

Lu Pan said: "Well... I have to calculate the cost..."

Lu Xun Huan said, "You don't need to calculate the cost. Let me ask you, how much do you sell one ounce of the best tea in Baocheng for right now?"

Lu Pan replied, “Twenty taels of silver for one tael.”

Lu Xun Huan shook his head. "What a waste! With good packaging and perfect promotion, you can sell it to Yingzhou and try to get a priceless piece of tea."

"what……"

Lu Pan was stunned: "A thousand gold?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Does the tea in your tea shop have names?"

Lu Pan replied, "A few have elegant names, but most are named after places and grades, such as Pingxi Special Grade, Pingxi First Grade..."

Lu Xunhuan said, "The best tea is called Jizi Tea."

Lu Pan was dumbfounded again: "Ah, what, machine tea?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Yes, the tea that the sage Liang Jizi liked to drink is called Jizi tea. It must be well packaged, beautifully advertised, and expensive. One thousand taels of silver equals one tael of Jizi tea."

This seemed to have exceeded Lu Pan's imagination: "This... this..."

Lu Xun Huan smiled faintly: "Trust me, do as I say. Later, His Majesty will list Jizi tea as tribute tea. By then, its value will be ten thousand times higher."

He then asked Lu Pan, "Do you dare to go to Yingzhou City?"

Lu Pan scratched his head and said, "Well... the rent for a store in Yingzhou must be very expensive. If business is bad, I'm afraid all the profits of my eighteen stores in Baocheng will be lost..."

At this time, the owner of Wangfuji Tailor Shop stood up and said, "Sir, let Lu Pan think about it first. I am willing to open a branch in Yingzhou."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I have designed so many fashionable clothes for you. You should really go to Yingzhou to promote them. I support you. Please take a seat."

He said to everyone: "You have money in Baocheng, but you can't be considered rich. At best, you can only be considered a local tycoon."

"When will you be considered truly rich? When you go out and bring a lot of money back to Treasure City, then you will be considered truly wealthy and you will be ranked on the list of the richest people in Nanliang Kingdom."

He paused, then continued, "Today, I invited you to a meeting, on the one hand, to encourage everyone to go out and make money."

"On the other hand, some people want to leave, but they are temporarily facing financial difficulties. I am here today to relieve your worries."

Someone asked, "Sir, do you want to lend us money?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I won't lend you money. I don't have that much money, but the provincial bank can lend you money for ten years, interest-free. How about that?"

"Good," everyone below cheered enthusiastically.

Lu Xun Huan added, "But it doesn't mean you can borrow as much as you want."

"On the one hand, it depends on the scale of your overseas investment."

"On the other hand, you have to use assets as collateral. You can use anything that is valuable as collateral."

"If you pay back the money within ten years, the mortgage agreement will be worthless."

"But if you can't pay it back, the bank will contact you for negotiation before the loan matures."

He scanned the room again and said, "Everyone, we are from Baocheng. Are we heroes or bears? Let's get out there and train. Let Baoshang's footprints spread across the country."
