Chapter 925: Huanghuang Hanwei (49)
Kunzhou is connected to Yuyang, but its geographical importance is far less than Yuyang. It is mountainous in the area, with a population of only more than 300,000. Minzhou is connected to Fenzhou, but there are less than 500,000 people. Both states are small counties of the former Yan State. But because of this, in this war that swept almost the entire Yan State, Kunzhou and Minzhou were actually preserved, and the war did not affect them, which made the people's governance and livelihood in their territory the best compared to other regions.
After three rounds of wine, the preview was almost done. It was time to get to the point. Yan Shenghao coughed and was about to speak, but the chubby Li Can stood up first, bowed to Gao Yuan, and then bowed slightly to the people present. "Governor, in the past two years, the Governor has fought for the Donghu, destroying the hidden dangers that have been hundreds of years since the founding of the Dayan Kingdom. The war horses have not stopped, and returned thousands of miles back, expelling the Qi people. It is famous, but what makes Li Can ashamed is that Minzhou has not made any achievements in this place, and is in a corner and lives in vain. Now the overall situation has been settled, but the Governor has no past grudges, which makes Li Can even lose face, so!" He paused, reached out to his arms, took out a large stack of things, and presented it to Gao Yuan with both hands.
Gao Yuan smiled and listened to Li Can's words, he reached out to take the things handed over by Li Can. When he opened it, there were a thick stack of silver notes issued by Sihai Trading and Yongqin Chamber of Commerce. Gao Yuan asked for a look and found that there were hundreds of thousands of taels. However, after putting the stack of silver notes aside, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised that it was a land deed, with a land deed of hundreds of thousands of acres.
"Mr. Li, I understand these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. I am not afraid of you making fun of it. I am sure I will pay the money now. Your hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have solved my urgent needs, but what is the land deed?" Gao Yuan shook those land deeds.
Li Can bowed slightly, "Li's family has been operating in Minzhou for many years, but these lands are accumulated by the Li family over the years. I dare not hide from the governor. Most of them were obtained through legitimate channels, but some of them were inevitably robbed. Li Can, on behalf of the Li family, donated all these lands to the governor."
Gao Yuan's mouth curled a smile. It seems that the county magistrate Li has carefully studied the various policies of the East Prefecture, among which the land is the foundation of the various policies of the East Prefecture. It can be said that the East Prefecture Army was built on owning a large amount of land that could be distributed to the landless people, thus gaining the support of these people.
Li Can's actions not only made Gao Yuan excited, but also said that Yan Shenghao, Cao Tiancheng and Mei Yipo were surprised, while Mo Ren's face on the side was extremely ugly.
"It seems that County Magistrate Li has conducted in-depth research on my national policy of expeditioning the East Prefecture. However, since Minzhou is peacefully invested, I cannot ask you for these lands for nothing. The expeditioning the East Prefecture will acquire it at a discount. Of course, the price will not be too high. Strictly discuss the government. For these, the meeting hall should have a complete set of policies and procedures, right?"
"Yes!" Yan Shenghao said.
"No need, this is Li's intention to the governor. It is a little compensation for Li's mistakes before. Please accept it." Li Can said sincerely: "Li's family has accumulated rich wealth over the years. Even if they lose these land, they can live a luxurious life that ordinary people can't imagine. What's more, today I met Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, I want to meet you tomorrow. My Li family also wants to invest in the Sihai Trading Company. I wonder if it is possible?"
Cao Tiancheng laughed, "It's natural that he can't get it. Sihai Trading and Trading are all over the world, sincerely invites talented people from all over the world to join. The Li family is strong and has a huge fleet. If they enter our Sihai Trading, Sihai Trading will go to the next level. Let's talk in detail tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Cao." Li Can smiled and said, "Governor, Li only had a little understanding of the policy that the East Prefecture had adopted. Today, since Minzhou has officially joined the Governor's command, he also asked the Governor to send officials immediately to take over Minzhou so that Minzhou can integrate at a faster speed and make contributions to the Governor's great cause."
"Okay, okay!" Gao Yuan was very happy. This Li Can County Governor Li was really an informed and tactful person. "Yan Jingzheng, after you go down, you can make arrangements. You can't let down the beautiful wish of County Governor Li."
Li Can sat down with a smile on his face, and Mo Ren on the side couldn't sit still. It can be said that Li Can had killed him this time and glanced at Li Can fiercely. Seeing that the other party had no intention of looking at him at all, he could only stand up and take out a stack of things from his arms to present them to Gao Yuan.
"The governor of the country is founded, and the Mo family in Kunming has no respect. The 500,000 taels of silver are presented to the governor to congratulate him!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Gao Yuan took the silver and looked at Mo Ren, as if he still had some expectations.
Looking at Gao Yuan's gaze, Mo Ren gritted his teeth and said, "Mo also asked the governor to send officials to Queensland to accept the administration of Queensland."
"Well, please do it together with Yan Gongzheng!" Gao Yuan nodded, glanced at the awkward Mo Ren, Gao Yuan stood up with a smile, and raised his glass. "Today's wine is the happiest time in the past year. I have come and have done this glass for our common cause."
Because of Li Can's disturbance, the wine was a bit awkward, especially Mo Ren, who was simply restless. After everyone drank a few more glasses, the banquet ended. Yan Shenghao sent Li Can and Mo Ren away, but Cao Tiancheng and Mei Yipo stayed.
He Weiyuan presented the tea, and Gao Yuan was happy. First, he was not drunk. Second, Li Can's performance was indeed unexpected. His actions saved Gao Yuan a lot of trouble. Kunzhou and Minzhou all took the initiative to surrender. How to deal with these two places did make Gao Yuan scratch his head, but now Li Can's move set a benchmark. What should Kunzhou do? I think Mo Ren should have a good idea.
"I think this Mo Ren is hating Li Can to his bones today. It seems that Li Can's move has not been vented with Mo Ren at all, and caught Mo Ren off guard." Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I'm not dead, I'm not dead, this Li Can looks chubby, but he's really smart. Since this person is so sensible, we should naturally give him a reward and leave him a seat in the Seminar Hall."
"Give me a seat on the political affairs?" Cao Tiancheng was shocked. So far, there were only Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao in the meeting hall.
"Of course, he did so simply, so I naturally have to give corresponding compensation. Didn't you see that Li Can completely give up Minzhou. If I guess well, next, he will move all his family to Jicheng. By the way, what's wrong with Li Can having a huge fleet?"
"Minzhou Linhai, Li Can said before that his family was rich and could live well without these soil. Yan is not polite. Li's family owns a fleet of long-distance trade, which can be said to be rich in wealth." Cao Tianchengdao, "We all want to break into the four seas before, but it has not been successful. Li's family has been very strict in control."
"This County Governor Li seems to be really not an ordinary person. I wonder which direction he has been running in for long-distance trade?"
"I really don't know this, but it will take about half a year for his fleet to go out and enter. It seems that he is not close." Cao Tiancheng said: "We have not yet figured out the specific situation."
"One round trip a year!" Gao Yuan was surprised. At his current speed, he roughly estimated in his heart that he had a rough outline in his heart. "If this is true, then he is really worthy of the position of the Council Hall. We need an expert in this field, and maybe it will be effective at any time."
"The governor took a fence and wanted to include him in the navy?" Cao Tiancheng asked.
"No." Gao Yuan said decisively: "I value their voyage more. Lao Cao, the world is very big. It is beyond my expectations that the governor of Li County has such courage. But I can't explain it clearly to you for a while. After you meet Li Can, let's talk to him in detail."
At this time, Cao Tiancheng naturally didn't know that Gao Yuan thought that on an island country overseas, there were silver ore and copper mines. As long as there was a navy, a route, and a person who knew this sea route, it would be a endless source of wealth!
While talking, Yan Shenghao had already sent the two of them to turn around.
"Governor, it is beyond people's expectations that the matter in Minzhou has been resolved so easily, but it seems that Kunzhou is not going to be so done!" Yan Shenghao said.
Gao Yuan smiled, "Where is the case in Minzhou, Mo Ren must think carefully after he goes back. If he cooperates with us, his wealth and glory will naturally be indispensable. If he wants to resist our basic national policy, what are the consequences? I don't need to say, right?"
Mei Yipo was frightened by the side. Gao Yuan's indifferent tone represented the most likely blood flowing into a river, his family was destroyed, and his businessman was a little afraid to listen. He stood up, "Governor, here..."
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Mei, don't be too careful. This time you donated 200,000 taels of silver to me for the East Mansion. This is probably what you have worked hard in the past two years!"
Mei Yipo bowed and said, "Mei was just an ordinary businessman before. In the past two years, he has been valued by the governor and supported by Mr. Cao, so he earned some money. He heard Mr. Cao say that the financial resources of the East Mansion are now in financial difficulties, so he only has this kind of property. Although it has nothing to do with the overall situation and is a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing."
"If there are too many businessmen like Mr. Mei, why don't I worry about not being able to fight for the East Mansion!" Gao Yuan said with emotion: "The tiger father and son, Mei Hua is also a powerful general in my young guard army. His commander Yang Dasha is a very difficult person to get along with, but he attaches great importance to Mei Hua."
"Thank you for the praise of the governor, but he has achieved some success, and he is not promoted by the governor!"
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "This is true. I did kiss the two boys, Wu Ya, to the Red Guard. However, it was beyond my expectations that he would achieve today. If everything goes well, I think a general will be released from Mr. Mei's house soon!"
With Gao Yuan's words of affirmation, Mei Yipo's eyes narrowed when he smiled. The most disobedient boy actually supported the Mei family. Mei Yipo knew very well. When Cao Tiancheng chose to serve as the spokesperson for Sihai Business in Hejian County, it was because of Mei Hua.
Cao Tiancheng, who was on the side, said at this moment: "Governor, Li Can had disrupted the situation before, but he didn't drink the whole meal. The Governor just got a young man, Yan Gongzheng. Should we hold another seat and congratulate the Governor?"
