Chapter 62 The Upsurge Caused by Ba Guan Qian

"In the later generations, when Shouzhou was known as the "city of never falling", many people were exploring what happened in this city, and when the city spirit of Shouzhou people's sincere unity began to be formed. In my opinion, the earliest cause of the incident was that Lin Feng led his army to deal with Liu Yanzhen and gave the people of Shouzhou a glimmer of hope. However, the cause of the real beginning of uniting the entire city should be the public sale of Shouzhou Supermarket shares initiated by Lin Feng. Some people laughed at it as a 'a craze triggered by the eight-cent of coins'."

,, Excerpted from "Book of Southern Tang? Major Events of Lin Feng" written by Shi Yan, a historian of the Southern Tang Dynasty

Early in the morning of June 6, when five young men who were used to getting up early and running walked out of the house and ran to the neighborhood gate to gather, a young man accidentally discovered that a new notice was posted on the wall and immediately stopped his friends.

The first announcement on the right said something new, announcing the punishment measures against the twenty-four cheating villagers in Anfengtang. They must bring their own dry food, wear robes, and clean and maintain order in all streets in Shouzhou City for at least five hours a day. The total sentence was half a year. After performing well and being recognized by the street people, they requested appropriate reductions and exemptions.

Another announcement was a complete surprise.

Starting from now on, 2,000 shares of Shouzhou Supermarket will be sold to all Shouzhou City residents, with eight jin of money per share. Shouzhou people as shareholders can enjoy corresponding profit dividends every year. They can decide when to withdraw the capital and dividends at their own discretion, and can check all accounts at a fixed time per month.

Surprisingly, the announcement also clearly stipulates that each household must not purchase more than two shares. People with insufficient family background can purchase shares in a joint venture in a name. No one is allowed to buy shares on behalf of others, and they are not allowed to transfer their qualifications privately. All violators are written into the "Book of Credit" and subject to corresponding penalties. The payment time limit is ten days.

The five young men looked at the announcement several times in disbelief, suddenly shouted at the same time, turned around and ran towards their homes.

This scenario soon happened in various streets and neighbors in Shouzhou.

Baguan coins are just a piece of cake for rich people, but for nearly 6,000 ordinary people in Shouzhou, it is definitely not a small amount. So another big boom around Baguan coins began.

When the old man was engaged in history, Jie Yunchen slowly walked into the lobby of the governor's mansion at three o'clock, he found that the chief Wei Zongcheng and Shouzhou Sima Chang Yanfang were also discussing this matter.

Wei Zongcheng sneered repeatedly and was shouting: "Baguan, where are ordinary people going to get so much money? Look, in the end, those big players have been able to buy the qualifications and their shares fall into the pockets of the rich."

Chang Yan was calm and shook his head without saying a word. When he looked up and saw Jie Yun entering the door, he immediately bowed his hand to salute him.

Jie Yunluo bowed his hand and walked to his seat and sat down. Chang Yanfang pulled Wei Zongcheng and walked to the table next to him.

Wei Zongcheng slapped the paperweight on the table hatefully, blew the dust in front of him in anger, and then sat down heavily.

This is another new trick that Lin Feng has created. All officials must openly work in the lobby of the governor's mansion to serve the people of the whole city in a "one-stop shop".

"You guys told me, did this kid be bullied by northern officials when he was a child? Once he gained power, he would start to punish the officials. He would think of ways to punish us all day long..." Wei Zongcheng said another sentence. In a blink of an eye, he saw Chang Yanfang's quick blinking eyes on the opposite side, and his heart was trembling, and he quickly stopped talking.

Wei Zongcheng turned his head awkwardly and found that Lin Feng was standing at the door not far behind him.

Lin Feng seemed to have not heard Wei Zongcheng's complaint at all, bowed to everyone, and said with a smile: "All the adults have heard of it. The Shouzhou Supermarket that will be built will be sold to the people of the whole city. All of us are all people in the city, so naturally we all have a share.

I reserve a total of 1,000 shares, of which 500 shares will be invested by the governor's office. The dividend will be used as daily expenses for the governor's office. The remaining 500 shares are reserved specifically for all adults. Everyone has a share. If the family is not well-off, they can borrow money from Lin."

"Purchase people's hearts." Wei Zongcheng muttered at the first time, full of disdain. Now, Lin Feng has greatly reduced the staff of the entire governor's office. The members of the three governments have totaled nearly 40. One person is only in the past ten shares. For people with status like Wei Zongcheng, this share and the so-called dividends in the future are really worth mentioning.

"Thank you, Lord Lin." The Sihu Army took the lead. Officials from all over the world quickly expressed their gratitude to Lin Feng. Everyone has a big difference in their official positions, so naturally the family situation is different. It is naturally a good thing to have such additional investment returns.

"A gentleman loves money and makes it a good way. Please believe that there are many opportunities like this in the future." Lin Feng was full of interest and announced loudly, which naturally caused a new round of gratitude.

After saying the good things, Lin Feng began to formally organize the joint office of the three governments, and conducted public discussions on the training of Shouzhou Army and the recruitment and training of the township soldiers, and soon settled many matters.

During the discussion, Wei Zongcheng said nothing and kept sneering in his heart. It is hard to cook without rice. Every thing is not worth the money. Lin Feng, you can still make money out of thin air. If you don’t have food or weapons, you can’t make money out of thin air.

Compared with the small bustling in the main hall of the governor's mansion, the entire Shouzhou City has become a big bustling venue.

In the huge Shouzhou City, of course, there are many shoppers who have visited the Jinling Supermarket. They have all shown this process countless times to the people around them. In their description, the supermarket is not only a magical place, but also a money tree. Everyone lined up to eat, shop, and competed to send money inside.

These impressive reputations, coupled with the 200-person high salary recruitment of supermarket clerks in Shouzhou City, and the pre-heating of the bonuses for the Circle Tournament Competition, a major fundraising campaign has emerged in the entire Shouzhou City. Those who have a way to find someone to borrow money, while those who have no way to work with their neighbors and relatives and friends, have to raise eight or sixteen coins of money.

At noon, when Shouzhou soldiers escorted dejected Anfengtang villagers to the streets and began to clean up the garbage on the road honestly, while the Shouzhou people were watching, the remarks of an elderly man were circulating among the onlookers: I saw it, it was definitely a foregone conclusion that Lord Lin Fenglin could speak. Spit on a spit and spitting can be used as a nail. The shares in the supermarket will never be fake. It is a good opportunity that cannot be missed.

This sentence soon spread throughout the city, which naturally aggravated the speed and popularity of fundraising in the city.

This money-raising boom lasted for a full ten days. At noon on June 10, when Kang Renjie, who was on a mission to Japan, got off the boat from the dock and hired a car to escort a bunch of property into the streets of the North City, he happened to meet a group of people holding a bunch of money skewers, shouting happily: "Let's go to the governor's mansion to send money."
