Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1385 1204: Persuasion

In these three bags, all of them are filled with gold.

These three bags contain all of his personal wealth.

This is something that the likes of Fatty cannot compare to,

No one would dare to do such a thing since there is always uncertainty about whether it is safe to carry such valuables.

If it were actually stolen, one would be left penniless, with their entire savings gone.

As to why this fellow dared to act so boldly, the first point is that he scattered and hid these gold pieces on his person,

and kept them close to his body for protection.

Moreover, the security in the Capital City is now excellent,

To put it bluntly, ever since Lin Yi took charge, the petty thieves have seemingly vanished without a trace.

Lin Yi's management of the thieves is very strict; if caught, it's not a simple matter to get out of.

It's important to know that Lin Yi has invested heavily in maintaining security.

It's a time when petty theft was rampant due to people struggling to survive, leaving few alternatives but to steal.

Therefore, Lin Yi's first target was to crack down on theft.

After some time, results have been significant, and now on the streets of the Capital City, thieves are nearly invisible,

especially around the residential areas, even those with malicious intent know not to act recklessly despite the wealthy merchants gathered here.

Their concerns are not just about the Government alone; the primary concern is that each wealthy merchant has guards.

Even if some people don't have visible guards, there may be hidden protection, right?

And so these petty thieves don't dare venture here.

This gave the fellow the courage to act without the risk he faced before Lin Yi became the Emperor; he wouldn't have dared to do so.

He wouldn't even dare carry three bags of gold; he would cautiously handle a single bag of silver, while accompanied by several guards.

Otherwise, it's too risky to walk alone on the city streets.

Currently, the Dayou Kingdom's security is favorable not only in the Capital City but also in other major cities.

You should know, Leng Yu, Lord Leng has been implementing Lin Yi's methods across various states and prefectures.

Almost the entire Dayou Kingdom is under construction. Though the pace there is slower, initiatives have begun, focusing first on personnel standards.

This includes changing the hereditary form of governmental constables.

Now, governmental constables are selected with good character and physical strength as primary qualities.

Unlike before, when constables couldn't even sustain themselves, now they enjoy three meals a day, and good wages, which are much higher than other professions.

This has made families eager for their children to become constables, though it's challenging due to limited positions.

This is akin to the later civil servant exams, intense and competitive.

However, enough of that, at this moment, the fellow with three bags of gold comes to find me.

In the neighborhood, he quickly focused on a target, heading directly to a household located quite a distance from Fatty's house, in the top floor of that building.

Once upstairs, he carefully knocked on the door,

Seeing the dark-skinned man from inside, the fellow immediately put up a friendly smile. The man appeared cautious and asked somewhat suspiciously:

"May I know what brings this gentleman to seek me out?"

Upon hearing this, the fellow instantly adopted a cheerful demeanor, saying:

"Haha, no need to be so formal, my name is Hao Jianren, you can call me Brother Hao.

Sorry for the sudden disturbance, I wanted to ask if you know of any houses for sale; Brother Hao is thinking of purchasing a place."

Undeniably, the fellow is quite shrewd, his words carefully measured; he didn't reveal his intention to buy this man's house.

Instead, he used a pretext to inquire if the man knew of any properties for sale, which eased the man's guard significantly.

If he had directly asked about purchasing the man's house, the man would likely have been more cautious,

It would make negotiations more challenging afterward. By initiating with this inquiry,

Negotiations had become much easier, and he could ask if anyone's selling houses first.
