Chapter 101 Inviting County Magistrate Shen to Accompany Him on Site Selection

"Lord Kong, Lord Shen, and Master Xiao, a young lady has come and says she wants to rent a public area in Taoyuan Town for commercial use. I don't know how to handle this, so I've come to ask you two for your advice."

"Oh? Did you find out what it's for? Approximately how big of an area is needed?"

Kong Wenfeng found this matter interesting. If it was something that would benefit the people, it might even benefit the whole county, which would be a good thing for him as the county magistrate.

"Well... I haven't asked for details yet, but I heard the girl say... she said she was going to do something... oh, what was it called again?"

It sounds like they're putting the horse on the road for people to borrow and ride...

Seeing that he was speaking in a rambling and unclear way, Kong Wenfeng waved his hand and turned to Shen Peian beside him, saying, "Why don't we ask Magistrate Shen to go and give us some advice? I think it might be worthwhile to listen to this matter. If handled well, it might bring a new turning point to Yongle County."

He was actually quite eager to hear about the matter in person, but given his position as the magistrate of a county, it was inappropriate for him to personally discuss such a private matter. So he instructed his subordinate, the county clerk, to oversee the matter.

"Alright, I'll go and see what's going on right away, and I'll report back to you later."

After Shen Pei'an finished speaking, he got up and went to the office with the clerk from earlier.

Bai Mengran was sitting and whispering with He Yuejiao when she saw a person in a green official robe following behind the clerk who had just left. She wondered if he had directly invited the top two officials of the yamen.

She knew that Magistrate Kong was Kong Nishang's father. This person looked to be under forty years old and had no resemblance to Yi Yi. It seemed that this was not Magistrate Kong.

The two men stood up to greet him respectfully. Before the clerk even entered, he introduced him, saying, "This is Magistrate Shen. I have specially invited him to discuss the rental matter that Miss Bai mentioned. Miss, you may tell Magistrate Shen your requirements."

Bai Mengran greeted Lord Shen and then explained to him in detail her plan to rent ten public areas in the town with high foot traffic as drop-off points for people to rent shared bicycles.

She described in detail how to borrow shared bicycles, as well as the size of the space required for rental, and so on, making Magistrate Shen's eyes shine brighter and brighter.

He was even more shocked when he heard Bai Mengran claim to be the owner of the recently popular "Fairyland" shop in Peach Blossom Town.

He had overheard his subordinates mention this place by chance, saying that it was a popular destination for the people, and that there were even public carriages for transportation.

He was still thinking about when he could go and see what was so attractive about the place, and he planned to report back to Magistrate Kong after he got back, but he hadn't had the time to go yet.

Seeing that the manager of this "Fairyland" was such a young girl, and hearing her insights, Shen Pei'an couldn't help but look at her with higher regard.

"What Miss Bai said is feasible in my opinion. In a moment, I will have the clerk's office identify several locations that match the young lady's description, and then send someone to go with her to confirm the details before we can discuss the specific rental arrangements."

When Shen Pei'an spoke, his voice was loud and clear yet steady, his words concise and to the point, decisive and without any hesitation.

He instructed the clerk standing beside him to first select more than ten suitable locations on the map, and then to invite the chief clerk to accompany Bai Mengran to confirm the selected sites, record the final locations, and submit them to him.

After the clerks went to their work, Shen Pei'an then spoke to Bai Mengran:

"Since this is a move to benefit the people, I find Miss Bai's fees to be very reasonable. Once the land is selected, the county can promise to rent it to Miss Bai at the lowest possible price."

Bai Mengran was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the county magistrate to have such a broad vision. Just by hearing her explain the purpose and concept of the shared bicycle, he promised to rent the land to her at the lowest price. It seems that he is truly a good official who cares about the people and puts their well-being first!

She immediately smiled and expressed her gratitude to Magistrate Shen, saying, "In that case, I thank you, Magistrate Shen, and I hope you will visit [Fairyland] when you have time."

"Miss Bai, you are too kind. When I have some free time in a while, I will definitely go and visit you."

The clerk was quite efficient; he soon came with a hand-drawn map of Taoyuan Town, saying that he had roughly selected more than ten bustling, crowded areas.

The specifics would have to be finalized after Bai Mengran and the others went to conduct an on-site investigation.

Bai Mengran glanced at the time. There was still a little over half an hour until the time she agreed to meet with Kunbo. If she hurried, she should be able to get it done in about half an hour.

Time is efficiency. Since this was in Peach Blossom Town, she immediately dispatched one of the empty carriages that had just delivered guests to the Fairyland to the yamen gate.

After all, there are many people going together, so it would be more convenient and more acceptable to use a public carriage.

Seeing that Magistrate Shen had not yet left, Bai Mengran invited, "Lord Shen, I have arranged a public carriage and will be arriving at the yamen soon. Why don't you come along and help me choose an advisor?"

From her conversation with Magistrate Shen, she sensed that he was a good official who stood on the side of the people.

As the local official in her area, Bai Mengran naturally wanted to build a good relationship with him, so she tried to invite him.

County Magistrate Shen seemed surprised that Miss Bai would invite him, and was thinking of hurrying back to report the matter to County Magistrate Kong.

But then he thought, wouldn't it be better if he went to see for himself?

After all, he was genuinely curious about how the girl's idea of ​​shared bicycles would actually work. It sounded novel and interesting, and he wondered how it would actually turn out in practice.

Furthermore, he was also very interested in the public carriage that Miss Bai had mentioned, and it would be a good opportunity to experience it firsthand, as he had heard that the people were praising its convenience and speed.

"Very well, I will also go with Miss Bai to experience it!"

After agreeing, Magistrate Shen instructed the clerk to immediately invite Registrar Zhao to accompany him and be responsible for recording the site selection.

Taking advantage of the break, Bai Mengran took out a brochure for "Fairyland" and handed it to County Magistrate Shen, giving him a brief introduction to the features of "Fairyland".

He Yuejiao, who had been keeping a low profile the whole time, knew that Sister Bai was talking about serious matters. She listened quietly without disturbing her, but the more she listened, the more intense her gaze became towards Bai Mengran.

Sister Bai is amazing! In such a short time, she was able to chat and laugh with the county magistrate, and she was so calm and composed during the conversation that she was in no way inferior to a man.

No, in her eyes, Sister Bai is much more capable than any man! Ah, so women can do business and run their own careers too!

She hadn't listened to her father, Master He, who was trying to persuade her, but now she was seeing Sister Bai confidently introducing her shop.

He Yuejiao felt as if a seed had been planted in her heart, giving her a vague sense of longing for the future.
