As people returned, the territory became lively again. It's worth mentioning that a tavern actually appeared in the territory, and the person running it was still one of Li You Ran's men - none other than Half-man Brother. In the days since Li You Ran left, Half-man Brother had nothing to do, as neither Johan nor Zig could give him orders because they were Li You Ran's brewers. So he could only go back to his old trade.
One hill after another, searching for wild fruits and necessary materials. Later, he even directed some half-elves who joined the territory later. As the lord's brewmaster, John and Zig didn't say anything, anyway, at least it was a half-elf, so he went with him.
It turned out that the half-bodied brother was quite talented, and before long, the first barrel of wine was brewed. Then, when the half-bodied brother found John to help build a tavern, John proposed a condition: "You want to build a tavern, of course you can, but as the master's brewer, you can only brew wine. If you want to operate it, then the money earned can only be the master's. How about it, do you still want to build?"
The two half-elf brothers agreed without hesitation, saying: "We just like brewing and don't need money. Half-elves can live well anywhere, what's the point of having money? However, we just promised those female half-elves to let them help in the tavern and pay them wages, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Half-man Brother said importantly, "John waved his hand and said, 'This is no problem, as long as the profit from selling goes to the owner, your wages will naturally be paid by the owner, no problem.'"
In this way, the first tavern appeared. Thanks to Li You Ran's food supply, the residents of the territory could make a living as long as they were not lazy. Some diligent ones even saved a few copper coins on their bodies. With money, people naturally wanted some other pleasures. Before, there was no tavern, but now there is one, and it's lively.
In just one day, the tavern became a huge hit, and everyone in the territory with some spare cash came to spend money there. Just by ordering some small food items like ham and spicy instant noodles from Oakley's place, people who felt happy eating bread every day went completely crazy.
Everyone's life has changed from working every day, going home to eat and sleep, to working, going to the tavern to drink, and then sleeping at home. The coins that were previously on some of the villagers' bodies finally came into play, and the currency began to circulate again. Li You Ran no longer had to distribute rations every day, but instead distributed coins, as some people voluntarily gave up their grain in exchange for wages.
Li You Ran is very happy with this change, it makes the territory no longer dull and lifeless. In the future, there will be even more facilities, Li You Ran wants to make this place a big commercial capital.
Li You Ran left and returned to his own city. What Li You Ran didn't know was that during these few days, someone had been keeping an eye on him from head to toe, although they hadn't seen Li You Ran himself, this didn't affect their plans to deal with him.
Yuan Wanli found the people in charge of each department on his first day after taking office, just like Yuan Lihui did, but he took it a step further. He wasn't just sealing off companies, he wanted Li You Ran's downfall, and then he would make him spit out everything he knew through endless torture.
The first step of the plan failed, and when the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to the Far Ocean Trading Company again, they were stunned. They had come to seal it off, but no one opened the door. What's the point of sealing it? The previous seal was still not torn off. This situation made a group of people who came with excitement return in disappointment.
Li You Ran didn't know that his refusal to open the door greatly reduced the enthusiasm of a group of people, but the license was still sealed off. The information at the Administration for Industry and Commerce was eliminated, so from now on, if Li You Ran dared to use it again, it would be considered illegal operation.
Li You Ran didn't know, but Bai Bing Er immediately found out through her informants that someone was going to mess with Li You Ran again. This was the first thought that came to her mind after finding out, and then she started thinking about how to solve it.
As soon as Bai Bing'er made a move, another person immediately found out. This person was Yuan Wanli. When he learned that Bai Bing'er was actively taking action, he immediately smashed the crystal ball in his office.
"Haven't caught you yet! You've come out yourself, that's good. Once I take care of you, he won't have any backing. Someone go and give Crow and Toad a call and tell them Young Master Yuan wants to see them, ask if they want to be the big brother."
As soon as Yuan Wanli's words fell, someone went to execute them. A few hours later, a group of people appeared in a KTV private room. Wu Ya and Ha Ma were both underlings of Bai Bing'er, but they had always been dissatisfied with her rise to power, thinking that she was only favored because of her good father, and that in terms of ability, she was not as good as the two of them, let alone qualifications. Why should she be the boss and they be the underlings?
Recently, the two of them have been unusually quiet. Then, a phone call from Yuan Da Shao summoned them to KTV, where they conspired with several others for half a day before Yuan Da Shao left, leaving the two to enjoy the services of dozens of beautiful women inside.
"Dare to fight with me, and you'll become a lone wolf immediately! Haha, but that chick looks pretty good, just like that movie star. Dammit, can't get the real deal, so I'll settle for you instead, haha! Get me some chicks! And they have to be high school students!"
A few days later, Bai Bing'er, who was unaware that she had been surrounded by a conspiracy, closely paid attention to Li You Ran's affairs and found that the connections she used to be able to use were now unusable, as if they had been forcibly cut off.
A very bad feeling arose, as if I was also being stared at by someone.
For some time, the normally honest crow and toad have jumped out again, with a loud tone, accusing Bai Bing of not being enterprising, failing to create more wealth for his brothers, but instead asking his brothers to restrain themselves, making everyone's life even harder. They want to convene a meeting of representatives of the community to re-elect the leader.
Bai Bing'er, who had been paying attention to Li You Ran all along, didn't notice anything and only found out about it today when she was notified of the meeting. Her first reaction was that she had been schemed against, but she had no choice but to go.
As she walked into the meeting room, Bai Bing saw that her uncles and brothers were already seated. She couldn't help but sneer and say: "You've all arrived, haven't you? How is it that when I convene a meeting, there are always a few who don't show up, but as soon as Crow and Toad croak, you all appear immediately? Are you not human, do you not listen to reason, or must you be with the beasts?"
The toad couldn't take it anymore, slammed the table and stood up saying: "You stinky girl, who are you calling a beast?! Everyone here is your elder, speak more politely!"
