Chapter 210: Chapter 206: Tang Luo’s Ambition

Gong Zheng was somewhat embarrassed when his sycophancy was pointed out. In the past, even when he faced Mi Hou, he wouldn’t go so far in flattering, but upon seeing Tang Luo, a sense of inferiority somehow arose within him.

Perhaps it was the conversation at Weiya Bungalow last time that left him with an indelible impression.

When asked what he could extrapolate from the political decrees, Gong Zheng was deep in thought. Tang Luo didn’t rush him and simply sat on his chair, holding his right cheek while he waited for the reply.

After a period of silent contemplation, Gong Zheng raised his head and reticently said, “We could create a registry network coining together beggars, thieves and prostitutes, and seize their territories!”

That was the only business opportunity he could identify from the decrees. According to the current situation he had control of, he could gain possession of a roughly ten-thousand-acre wasteland, and after cultivation, he would be considered a small landowner.

However, his self-congratulation met with Tang Luo’s dissatisfaction. Tang Luo frowned, “Is that all you can think of?”

“There’s more!” Gong Zheng quickly added, sensing Tang Luo’s dissatisfaction, “Since the young master does not want them to continue as beggars, we can turn these thieves into farmers to till our lands…”

Noticing Tang Luo’s face turning even grimmer, Gong Zheng’s voice grew lower, leaving only a nervous laugh.

It seemed he had overestimated Gang Leader Gong’s ability to identify opportunities from state decrees. Tang Luo adjusted his mindset with difficulty. If they were capable of doing so, they wouldn’t have chosen this path in the first place. Better he explain it himself, “When the decree takes effect, it signifies that there will be a new profession emerging in Xiling- farmers. Can you follow that?”

In the past, the people of Xiling did not farm. Instead, farming was the responsibility of major families. As such, for some families who had lived in Xiling for generations, farming was a novel skill.

Gong Zheng nodded in silence, but soon it was all he could offer.

Observing his dumbfounded look, Tang Luo continued, “The emergence of a new profession suggests a new business opportunity. Can you find a single blacksmith workshop in Xiling that handles farming tools, or a shop selling seeds of vegetables and grains, or a store selling work animals for ploughing or even a shop selling fertilisers? Do you now understand?”
