Chapter 1315: Han Banner World (V) Auction (Part 1)
The charity foundation's dinner was held in the Xianyun Building in Jicheng. A day ago, the security here was taken over by the security regiment of the Young Guards responsible for security work. The National Security Bureau also sent a large number of personnel to guard the place. The Xianyun Building was cleared and a blanket inspection was carried out to ensure the safety of the royal family and the dignitaries attending the dinner.
The times are developing rapidly, and the security work of the guard corps has become more severe. Jicheng is now the largest open city in the continent. When it became the political and economic center of the continent, it also became a spy of Qin and Chu. Although the National Security Bureau has gone all out in gathering places, there is no way to ban them from the root. With the development of gunpowder weapons, assassinations are now more convenient. If a dinner party like this is If someone lurks in, a grenade is enough to cause astonishing damage.
&nbs》Pig>Pig》Island》novel ww.mp;Information shows that although Qin Chu lags far behind the Han in the application of gunpowder, they have also created throwing weapons similar to grenades, which are not small in power. .
After the dinner was confirmed to be held in Xianyun Building, the National Security Bureau had arrested dozens of suspects in just a few days. Or for Qin Chu, if Gao Yuan could be killed, the situation in the world might be better. Maybe they can become a genius, and what they pay is just some hidden spies. The cost is small, but the harvest may be big.
Xianyunlou is now the largest catering and leisure group in Han Dynasty. It also played an important role in Gao Yuan's rise. It played a huge role in terms of funds and intelligence. The first boss of Jicheng Xianyun Tower was Zhang Yi, who is now the deputy director of the National Security Bureau.
With the expansion of the Han Dynasty, the scale of Xianyun Tower has also grown larger and larger. It has followed the footsteps of the Han army and expanded to almost all large cities with influence and good economic strength. Of course, his shareholding structure is becoming more and more complex. Of course, the largest shareholder is still the original Wu family, and then the royal family.
Langya Pavilion, the largest room in Xianyun Tower, was the venue for this dinner. As night fell, the front door of Xianyun Tower began to become lively. Carriages came one after another. One after another, big shots who could influence the situation in the Han Dynasty got out of the carriages in high spirits and walked into Xianyun Tower. The door of Yunlou.
In Langya Pavilion, dozens of lamps specially made by Mingbo Company were hung on the roof. The entire pavilion was as bright as day, and all the guests who came in were amazed. This technology has just been developed and does not have the ability to be mass-produced. So far, it can only be used in very few places. Even the palace is not equipped with such a device that uses the refraction, reflection and amplification of glass. Light fixtures.
More than twenty round tables have been set up in the pavilion, and the names of people who entered Langya Pavilion are pasted on the back chairs. Under the guidance of the maid, you can easily find your seat. Suddenly, the pavilion was buzzing with people. Most of them were acquaintances. Even if they didn't know each other, they had been known for a long time. Everyone was usually busy. It's rare to get together today, so we naturally want to take the opportunity to make friends.
Maybe we can work together sometime.
At this time, in the Tingsong Pavilion near Langya Pavilion, Gao Yuan was looking through the list of people attending this banquet.
"Ji Shi. Liaoxi, Langya, Tianhe, Yuyang, Hejian, Cangzhou. Basically, the people from these places account for the majority. There are still too few people from other places!" Gao Yuan put down the list and turned to Mei Pu Dao.
"Yes, Your Majesty, whether it is the former Han Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, or Qilu, after all, it has only been a short time for me to belong to the Han Dynasty. There are still too few businessmen among them who can match the influence of these places. This time, according to the king As ordered by the superiors, we only look at financial resources and nothing else," Mei Pu replied.
The Mei family is the fastest-growing family after the founding of the Han Dynasty. Mei Yipo is the president of the Central Bank, so he is powerful. His younger brother Mei Hua is a talented general in the Young Guards and is highly appreciated by high officials. Mei Pu The Mei family business under the control of Mei Su has also developed rapidly in the past few years, and has already become one of the top businessmen in the Han Dynasty. And Mei Pu left the Mei family's business and became the helmsman of the royal family's business, which enhanced the Mei family's status in the Han Dynasty. Supporting the rise of emerging forces is naturally Gao Yuan's intention.
"This shows that our Han Dynasty has endless potential for commercial development." Gao Yuan nodded as he took pictures of the catalog: "The former Wei, Han, and Qi are all densely populated areas. These places will be ours in the future. The focus of development is that compared to places like Jishi, their economic strength is still a bit worse, but these places are sacred places. As long as they are managed well, it will not take a few years to surpass Jishi and other places to become our Dahan’s latest economic growth point.”
"Your Majesty is right, but this will take time after all. We can inject funds, but the concept cannot be changed overnight. Most of the officials in these places are former officials who have defected and want to change their attitudes. Concept is really not an easy thing," explained Yan Shenghao on the other side.
"The key is the guidance of officials. Like Yingshui, it used to be poor, and it was also the front line. But with Fang Shu, it has become one of the richest areas in our Han Dynasty, and it has set a record for many Han people." This is a first. Even I didn’t think of things like providing allowances to senior citizens over sixty years old.” Gao Yuan said to Yan Shenghao, “So the Zhengshitang still needs to put more effort into guiding officials’ ideas, especially. In universities that train reserve officials for us, we must strengthen ideological transformation.”
"The new generation of graduates is very different from the past. Weichen has been discussing with Minister Huo of the Ministry of Culture and Publicity that next year's Jicheng University admissions will be more focused on these areas and increase the proportion of admissions in these areas. In the future, these people Returning to the local area after graduation will effectively change the current situation in these places." When Yan Shenghao said this, he suddenly laughed: "Lao Huo made a fortune this time and originally planned to build a Jicheng comprehensive school in Lu County. The university branch seems to be in ruins now. Speaking of this matter, Lao Huo couldn’t stop scolding Minister Wang.”
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan also laughed, "You also know Wang Wudi's temper, but from his point of view, it is not wrong. This money should have been included in the national treasury, because the propaganda The things that are being auctioned this time are all assets of the country. Lao Yan, have you ever thought about allowing private capital to enter the university industry? There is plenty of money for these people out there!"
Yan Shenghao was slightly startled, "Your Majesty, now we have two universities in Han Dynasty, needless to say, Jishicheng Military University, which specializes in training military officials. The graduates currently trained by Jicheng Comprehensive University are basically directly assigned to Officials in various places, if these private capitals are allowed to run universities, then these graduates will most likely enter the officialdom in the future. Official positions are the weapons used by the imperial court to control the world. Wei Chen feels that it is really inappropriate to let them go. "
Gao Yuan shook his head, "We have a huge shortage of qualified officials now, so we have to use a large number of officials from the old era, right? What hinders local development is the uncivilized minds of these officials. If private capital runs universities, can it be taught?" Those are the kind of people who come out. Don’t worry about this. Money is needed to run a university. The government alone is not enough. Huo Xiaolin wants to set up a university in every county. This idea is good and rich. The county can run it through the government, but those who don’t have money can figure it out on their own.”
"This, I will discuss this with Lao Huo after I go down. Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed. You must be cautious." Yan Shenghao said.
"Well, I just want to make a suggestion. As the chief minister in power, you naturally have your own ideas for governing. I won't say more." Gao Yuan nodded.
At this time, Mei Pu came over and said, "Your Majesty, the other end of Langya Pavilion is ready."
"Okay, let's go over now." Gao Yuan stood up with a smile and greeted everyone on the other side who was eating snacks and drinking tea. "Jing'er, Yanzi, Xin'er, we're going over."
In Langya Pavilion, following the shout of the arrival of the king, the noisy Langya Pavilion suddenly became quiet. The people who were whispering to each other returned to their places as quickly as possible, and turned to the gate of Langya Pavilion.
The first person to step in was Gao Yuan's guard commander He Weiyuan. Behind him, Gao Yuan strode in. Next to Gao Yuan were the initiators of this charity dinner, the three princesses, and behind them were the current big men. Yan Shenghao, the chief assistant in power.
"I have met the king and the princess!" Two hundred people bowed and saluted.
"That's all, you are all my guests today, so there is no need to be polite." Gao Yuan laughed and looked at the wealthy people in the venue one by one. "Many of the guests here today are my old acquaintances. , there are also many people I don’t know and haven’t met Yang yet, Yan Shoufu, what does this mean?”
Yan Shenghao took a step forward and said with a smile: "This shows that we big men are getting richer and richer."
"Yes, we Han people are getting richer and richer." Gao Yuan nodded, walked to the stage that had been set up in advance, and looked at everyone: "We Han people are getting richer and stronger, but not every Han people are rich. Are you free from worries?"
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the legendary king, especially those who were lucky enough to see the king for the first time, with even more excitement in their eyes.
"No, that's not the case. Some time ago, the princess went out for charity. When she came back, she told me that even in places where the sun shines brightest, there are shadows that cannot be illuminated. She saw some things that we usually can't see at all. , and these things will never appear in the memorials given to me by the ministers." Gao Yuan looked a little solemn, "Of course, I am not blaming these local officials or courtiers. After all, human power is limited, and so is the power of the government. What we can do is to make the vast majority of people live a better life, but what about the remaining people in special circumstances? Should we just leave them alone? People need some other power to help them. What is this power? It is charity. Who is doing charity? Is it you, me, those of us who get rich first, who have no worries about food and drink, and have enough money in our hands? "(To be continued...)
