When Liu Tingfeng and Bing Lan came two meters away in front of them, the middle-aged man bowed again and saluted:

"Grass people Bi Anning, meet General Liu and General Bing."

Liu Tingfeng immediately hugged his fists and saluted:

"Fortunately, fortunately, I have heard Mr. Bi's name for a long time, I finally saw it today, and I hope to have a happy cooperation in the future!"

Bi Anning smiled bitterly:

"Let General Liu smile, how can the light of the fireflies compete with the bright moon, in front of General Liu, the name under the name is really insignificant, don't mention it."

Liu Tingfeng said solemnly:

"People do not distinguish between high and low, the name of Mr. is given by the people, and the scholars of the world are peaceful, which shows that the people are full of respect and love for Mr."

Bi Anning said modestly:

"I have only done some insignificant things in the future, how can I compare it with the great things that the general has done for the country and the people."

Liu Tingfeng still said in a solemn tone:

"Good is not big or small, the king of heaven once said, don't take the good as small and do it, don't take the evil small and do it, the good thing is not the size of the thing, but whether it comes from the heart, Mr. has been doing good things for hundreds of years, and constantly helping those who are in difficulty, this spirit is worthy of respect and worth learning."

"And since Ningle City became someone else's ruling area, Mr. Bi has been leading the students and people of various academies to actively cooperate with our people to drive the people of Longxiao Kingdom and Beiyue Kingdom out of our land, which shows that Mr. Bi is a great good person."

Bi Anning no longer continued the topic, but said:

"Everyone is full of expectations for the arrival of General Liu, today has finally arrived, the city gate has been opened, General Liu invites in, to the city lord's mansion, Bi will report the situation here to General Liu in detail."

Liu Tingfeng still led the army with ice blue, and then entered the city with Bi Anning first, and the others followed behind them.

After entering the city, Bi Anning invited Liu Tingfeng to get into a luxurious carriage, and when he was about to take the carriage behind, Liu Tingfeng immediately said:

"Mr. Bi doesn't need to go to the back, just ride together, let's talk while walking!"

Bi Anning confessed at this time, and then boarded the carriage dedicated to Liu Tingfeng.

Seeing his cautious appearance, he looked more restrained, Liu Tingfeng immediately said with a smile:

"Mr. Bi doesn't have to be restrained, you are still a senior, it's good to be casual, let's talk casually, just talk about it as usual."

Bi Anning relaxed a little, so he said respectfully:

"Thank you, General Liu, I didn't expect you to be so approachable."

Liu Tingfeng didn't say any more kind words, but asked directly:

"What is the specific situation in Ningle City now?"

Bi Anning thought for a moment before he said slowly:

"Although this city belongs to the Western Rain Country, when other countries settle in, it becomes their territory."

"Before, this place was under the jurisdiction of the Beiyue Kingdom, and they controlled almost all the political power and major industries here, and our City Lord's Mansion was like a fictitious existence, completely under the orders of the Beiyue Kingdom."

"When the Longxiao Kingdom drove away the Beiyue Kingdom, this place became the place controlled by the Longxiao Kingdom, and they were about to rectify it, when they heard that General Liu led the army to come, they left in a hurry."

"Since our city lord has already taken refuge in them, he also went with them, and their departure not only took away the 600,000 defenders of the Xiyu Kingdom, but also took away countless spirit stones and heavenly treasures."

"Today's Ningle City is an empty city, and there are many things that General Liu needs to deal with and decide."

Liu Tingfeng nodded slightly and said:

"It seems that this place, like the previous Linghai City, is in ruins, and it is necessary to establish a perfect city lord's mansion as soon as possible, I don't know what Mr. Bi suggests?"

Bi Anning immediately replied:

"Everything is subject to General Liu's arrangement, we all support the Heavenly King, I believe that the arrival of General Liu will restore the order of Ningle City as soon as possible and restore the prosperity of the past."

Liu Tingfeng sat in the carriage, talking to Bi Anning, while casually looking at the city through the window of the carriage.

He found that the prosperity here is completely different from Linghai City, which is full of high-rise buildings and particularly developed commerce, which is more atmospheric and gorgeous.

If Linghai City is like a noble princess, Ningle City is like a quiet little jasper.

The buildings here are not tall and ornate, but they are a little more sophisticated and quiet, as if the whole city is a beautiful garden.

On both sides of the road, the most seen are green buildings, inns and hotels, and there are many fewer other shops.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Tingfeng asked casually:

"The most common industry in Ningle City is Qinglou, how many are there in total now?"

Bi Anning pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"There are about five or six hundred companies that are clearly listed, and some are secretly operated, and those who are not listed are difficult to count, and those hotels and inns will actually be operated incidentally, so in the entire Ningle City, there are about two thousand large and small."

Liu Tingfeng said in surprise:

"So much? With so many green buildings, the competition must be fierce! ”

Bi Anning nodded and said:

"Peers are enemies, and the competition is naturally very fierce, in fact, they are also divided into different factions, all of which have their own backstage, operate normally, and are all safe and sound."

"However, there must always be small actions, often tearing each other down, secretly using their own means, all wanting each other to disappear, and their own business will naturally be more."

"Therefore, there will continue to be bankruptcies of old green buildings, and there will be new green buildings opened."

"Here, there are very few Qinglou that can be inherited for more than a hundred years, generally after a well-known Oiran is produced, it will be popular for ten or eight years, and when the next Oiran appears, the red one will become another."

"Ningle City has the longest history, even if it is Qiuyue Tower, they have almost no shortage of Oiran, and every time they come out, they are basically the most famous Oiran in Ningle City."

"Just like the current Oiran Xiao Panyan, she is the first beauty in our Ningle City, and she is also the first talented woman, her reputation is spread all over the world, and countless people come here!"

Liu Tingfeng frowned slightly and said:

"Qinglou has become the largest industry in Ningle City, are they paying high taxes to the imperial court?"

Bi Anning nodded and said:

"It's very high, they have to hand over half of the net income to the imperial court, and the remaining half is Qinglou's, which is the most important source of income for the City Lord's Mansion in Ningle City."

Liu Tingfeng then asked:

"Then apart from the Qinglou, what is the second largest industry in Ningle City?"

Bi Anning thought for a moment and replied:

"Casino!"

Liu Tingfeng said curiously:

"Casino? Why haven't I seen a few along the way? ”

Bi Anning replied:

"The main road has been occupied by large green buildings and inns, and other industries have a few less advantages here."

"The point is that the rent of the building here is also very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford such an expensive price."

"Therefore, the gambling houses in our Ningle City are in relatively remote places, and the former imperial court has specially planned a street in order to facilitate management, which is called Wanli Street, and takes a book of Wanli."

"The three major gambling houses in Ningle City are all opened on Wanli Street, although there are gambling houses in other places, but the scale is much smaller."

Liu Tingfeng nodded slightly, and then asked:

"In addition to the green house and the gambling house, what other industries in Ningle City are running better."

Bi Anning almost blurted out a reply:

"Of course, it is the restaurant and the inn, the rich people or some officials from other countries will come here, and the business of the restaurant and the inn is endless."

"However, that's all in the past, and now there are not many guests in Ningle City, although after the outbreak of the war some time ago, it has little impact on Ningle City, but who dares to take this risk in such a special period?"

"When the people of Longxiao Kingdom and the people of the City Lord's Mansion are withdrawn, the business of the entire Ningle City can be said to have plummeted, and there are many people who are eating their old books."

"Some of them have a weak foundation, so they simply close their doors or change careers."

"You must know that the power of the people and foreigners in the City Lord's Mansion is very strong, and they are all relatively wealthy, so the main source of customers for the Qinglou is actually them."

Liu Tingfeng frowned slightly and said:

"It's not a good thing that Ning Le Cheng relies on Qinglou so much!"

"Just like now, as soon as those people leave, people from outside don't dare to come to the city easily, so on. The income of the imperial court is low, does Mr. Bi have any good suggestions for improvement? ”

Bi Anning replied almost subconsciously:

"The best way is to add other industries, transfer the people of Qinglou to other industries, and slowly, you can improve a lot."

"However, no matter what you do, the most important thing is to have a spirit stone, without a spirit stone, it will be difficult to move an inch, and you can only recover slowly."

Liu Tingfeng said with a smile:

"Spirit stones are not a problem, my side will report to the imperial court as soon as possible, and the imperial court will vigorously support us."

"The key is that we must have an overall reasonable plan, not let them increase naturally, and what stores to open should have a plan in advance."

"After the people from the City Lord's Mansion are gone, the current Ningle City urgently needs a respectable person to preside over the work, I think Mr. Bi is a well-deserved candidate, I don't know what Mr. Bi thinks?"

Bi Anning was deeply surprised and said:

"Me? I can't do it, I've never been an official, I don't understand this at all, I'm a layman, and I can't afford this heavy responsibility! ”

Liu Tingfeng said with a smile:

"Mr. Bi doesn't have to do everything himself, you just need to arrange the right things to the right people to do, and that's it."

"With Mr. Bi's fame, what kind of person can't find it? Everyone obeys you, you are the best candidate in a hurry, I hope Mr. Bi does not have to shirk and take on this important responsibility! ”
