After getting the shares, most people left the scene, but Miss Tianxiang Lourong was still reluctant to leave. It seemed that she had other things to do.

"Miss Rong, is there anything else? Thank you for your cooperation. I will arrange for you to join me and give you a discount. We will have a long-term cooperation in the future, so we need to communicate more."

"There's no need to be polite to me about such a small matter. Besides, I've also benefited from it."

Miss Rong covered her mouth and chuckled. Ever since Tianxianglou met Xu Feng, the cooperation between the two sides has been very stable and there has been no gap until now.

This is due to the fact that Miss Rong is optimistic about Xu Feng. If it were someone else, she would definitely not have stepped forward to be the first to speak out.

Tianxianglou has always been very cautious in doing things. Even if the benefits of something can be seen at a glance, they will not interfere casually and will usually arrange for others to try and fail.

But Xu Feng is different from others after all. Miss Rong feels that there is no need to waste time. Besides, it will be too late to regret if such an opportunity is missed.

At least on the surface, there are no hidden dangers for the time being.

"Aside from the casinos, what about the opium dens in the city? The most profitable businesses right now are controlled by you, the Jinyiwei. You're not planning to keep such a big business for yourselves, are you?"

The implication was to remind Xu Feng that the Jinyiwei might not be able to handle such a large plate.

"If you need Tianxianglou, you can invest and help out. Just like running a casino, we can also help you run part of the tobacco shop."

I have to admire Miss Rong's keen business sense. She can see that if she makes drastic reforms to the casino business, there is no reason to ignore another profitable business. The tobacco shop will definitely change as well.

"Don't worry about this, Tianxianglou. To be honest, if Jinyiwei hadn't been established so recently and wasn't too big right now, I wouldn't even want to share the casino business with anyone else."

"I plan to keep the tobacco shop for myself, and the Jinyiwei will be responsible for its management."

Seeing this, Miss Rong didn't say anything more. It was just a business after all, and there was no need to cause unpleasantness between her and Xu Feng because of it.

Besides, she didn't think the profits generated by the opium den were greater than those from the casino.

This is a matter of perspective. If Miss Rong knew about Xu Feng's reform of the tobacco shop, she would definitely not think so.

After seeing everyone off, Xu Feng finally calmed down.

There are still some gamblers imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison. It is time to release this group of people. It is not a good idea to keep them locked up.

Under Xu Feng's instructions, the Jinyiwei released all the detained gamblers. This group of people had not done anything against the law.

"I just wrote a memorial to His Majesty, reporting your plan for dealing with the casino. I'm sure the court will have a response soon. Do you have a detailed plan for how to control the opium den?"

According to the idea Xu Feng told her at the beginning, the opium den would be under the full control of the Jinyiwei, leaving no opportunity for other forces to interfere, and would become a long-term source of income for the Jinyiwei.

Rather than a one-time deal.

"Let's get the owners of those tobacco shops over here. We won't discuss cooperation, but we'll recruit all of them. We can't hire all of them ourselves. Personnel training is also a problem. Not everyone is suitable for business."

"You want to recruit those tobacco shop owners, but will they always listen to us?"

This is the problem that Honglian is most worried about. After all, these people had previously cooperated with the Yamen, Liushenmen, and Jianfengshan.

She was afraid that these people would pretend to obey her in one way but do another in private.

"Don't worry about this. We won't accept everyone. Haven't you noticed that all the core members of Jianfeng Mountain have already withdrawn? Those who remain are not trusted."

Xu Feng had observed this a long time ago. Perhaps there would be one or two spies left behind by Jianfeng Mountain, but in the face of the general trend, it would be harmless and no one could stop it.

Next, he will vigorously implement the cigarette policy and expand the scale of production. Doing so will have another benefit, which is that it will provide a large number of jobs in Gusu City, which is very beneficial to the people.

Especially as winter approaches, most people have no income at home and can only rely on the harvest of previous years to survive.

Ordinary people don’t actually have any big demands. All they want is to have enough food to eat, but this condition is difficult to meet.

This is also why Xu Feng left the opium den to the Jinyiwei for private management. Many dirty things would inevitably happen in this process, but there would not be any major mistakes under his own nose.

"Do you think customers can adapt to our business model in the shortest possible time? If not, then our reform will be a failure."

Xu Feng is responsible for formulating the rules, while Honglian is responsible for checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. The two of them have a clear division of labor.

"Don't worry about that. We definitely can't continue with the previous sales model. While selling at fixed locations, we can arrange for cigarette vendors to go door to door. This has another advantage."

"These people were able to gather a lot of intelligence while supporting themselves."

"We can also start an agent model in the future. After we expand our business, we can firmly control this large network! Not only will it bring in huge profits, but it will also form an intelligence network."

That’s right, Xu Feng’s real purpose was to develop a special intelligence system for the Jinyiwei.

Without an intelligence system, no matter how many Jinyiwei people there are, they are just blind men, or at most blind men with a slightly larger body.

Only by establishing his own intelligence system will he be able to handle things more easily in the future. In fact, Xu Feng’s best idea is to use Tianxianglou for his own benefit.

Unfortunately, this seems impossible at the moment, as they may not be able to afford to offend the people behind Tianxianglou.

He told Honglian all his thoughts, and Honglian realized how big Xu Feng's plan was. At the same time, she couldn't help but imagine the blueprint for the future.

If a complete intelligence system can be established, the Jinyiwei's control over the entire world will be meticulous, and this is what the emperor wants to see.

"I'll implement your plan as soon as possible. Let's test it out in Gusu City first. If there's no problem, we can gradually expand it to other places."

"Then I wish us success."

Xu Feng chuckled.

……

They received good news one after another, but Huang Wenzhong and the Six Gates could only feel helpless and furious. They could no longer curb the Jinyiwei's momentum of expansion.

The businesses that originally belonged to them have now been renamed. Some people behind Jianfeng Mountain can directly choose to withdraw, but their original foundation is here. They can't retreat to anywhere, and they can only live by relying on others in the future.
