Chapter 925: The Magnificent Power of Han (Forty-Nine)

Kunzhou is connected to Yuyang, but its geographical importance is far less than that of Yuyang. The area is mountainous and the population is only over 300,000. Minzhou and Fenzhou are connected to the sea, but there are only less than 300,000 people in the area. With a population of 500,000, both states were small counties in the original Yan State. However, 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. They, this makes the people's governance and people's livelihood in their territory the best compared to other areas.

After drinking for three rounds, the foreshadowing words were almost finished, and it was time to get down to the main topic. Yan Shenghao coughed and was about to speak, but the chubby Li Can stood up first, bowed to Gao Yuan, and then Bowing slightly to the people present, he said, "Captain, Governor, in the past two years, the Governor has been on an expedition to Donghu, eliminating the hidden dangers that had existed for hundreds of years since the founding of the Yan Dynasty. The war horses did not stop, but returned thousands of miles and drove out the Qi people. It can be said that His prestige spread far and wide, but what makes Li Can feel ashamed is that Minzhou has not made any achievements in this, and is just living in a corner. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the governor ignores the past grievances, which makes Li Can even more shameless, so! "He paused, reached into his arms, took out a large pile of things, and presented them to Gao Yuan with both hands.

After listening to Li Can's words with a smile, Gao Yuan reached out to take what Li Can handed over and opened it. On it was a thick stack of banknotes issued by Sihai Trading and Yongqin Chamber of Commerce. Gao Yuan touched it and found that there were countless It was as much as one hundred thousand taels, but after putting the stack of banknotes aside, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised by what was underneath. It was actually a land deed, covering hundreds of thousands of acres.

"Governor Li, I understand the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and I'm not afraid of your ridicule. I'm really short of money right now. Your hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have solved my urgent need. But what's going on with the land deed?" Gao Yuan I shook the land deeds.

Li Can bowed slightly and said, "The Li family has been operating in Minzhou for many years, but these lands have been accumulated by the Li family over the years. They dare not hide it from the governor. Most of them were obtained through legitimate channels, but some of them are unavoidable plunders." .Li Can, on behalf of the Li family, donated all these lands to the governor."

A smile appeared at the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth. This Governor Li seemed to have carefully studied various policies of Zhengdong Mansion, among which land was the basis of various policies of Zhengdong Mansion. It can be said that the Zhengdong Army would It is based on having a large amount of land that can be distributed to landless people, thereby gaining the support of these people.

Li Can's move not only made Gao Yuan blush, but also surprised Yan Shenghao, Cao Tiancheng, and Mei Yipo. On the other hand, Moren's expression was extremely ugly.

"It seems that Governor Li has done an in-depth study of the national policy of Zhengdong Mansion. However, since Minzhou came to invest in peace, I cannot ask you for these lands for free. Zhengdong Mansion will buy them at a discount. Of course, the price It won’t be too high, and it will be strict in discussing politics. Regarding these, the council should have a complete set of policies and procedures, right?”

"Yes!" Yan Shenghao said.

"No, this is Li's wish for the governor. It can be regarded as a small compensation for Li's past mistakes. Please accept it." Li Can said sincerely: "Li has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. Even if it is gone, With these lands, one can live a luxurious life that is unimaginable to ordinary people. What’s more, today we are facing a great god of wealth like Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao, I want to meet you tomorrow. I, Mr. Li, also want to invest in Sihai Trading. I don’t know. Is that possible?"

Cao Tiancheng laughed and said, "Of course it's a dream come true. Sihai Trading is a world-famous business and sincerely invites talented people from all over the world to join. The Li family is strong and has a huge fleet. If you join our Sihai Trading, Sihai Trading will be even better." It’s only one floor. Let’s talk in detail tomorrow.”

"Thank you, Mr. Cao." Li Can smiled and said: "Captain, Li only has a partial understanding of the policies implemented by the Zhengdong Mansion. Today, since Minzhou has officially joined the command of the Governor, I would like to ask the Governor to send officials immediately to take over Minzhou. In order to enable Minzhou to integrate at a faster speed and contribute to the great cause of the governor."

"Okay, okay!" Gao Yuan was very happy. This Governor Li Can is really a knowledgeable person, "Yan Yizheng, you can make arrangements after you get down. You can't live up to Governor Li's kindness."

Li Can sat down with a smile on his face, but Mo Ren on the side couldn't sit still. It can be said that Li Can tricked him to death. He glanced at Li Can fiercely and saw that the other person didn't mean to look at him at all. , he could only stand up, took out a stack of things from his arms, and presented them to Gao Yuan.

"The Governor of Kunzhou has no way to express his respect for the founding of the country, so these five hundred thousand taels of silver are presented to the Governor as a congratulation!"

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Gao Yuan took the money and looked at Moren, as if he was still looking forward to it.

Looking at Gao Yuan's gaze, Moren gritted his teeth and said, "Mo also asked the governor to send officials to Kunzhou to take over the administration of Kunzhou."

"Well, please also handle Yan Yizheng!" Gao Yuan nodded and glanced at the embarrassed Moren. Gao Yuan stood up with a smile and raised his glass, "Today's drink is the most important to Gao Yuan this year." It’s a pleasure for me to come and have a drink for our common cause.”

Because of Li Can's disturbance, the dinner was a bit embarrassing. Especially Mo Ren, who was simply restless. Everyone drank a few more drinks, but the banquet ended hastily. Yan Shenghao sent Li Can and Moren left, but Cao Tiancheng and Mei Yipo stayed.

He Weiyuan served tea, and Gao Yuan was happy. Firstly, he was not drunk with the wine. Secondly, Li Can's performance was indeed unexpected. His move saved Gao Yuan a lot of trouble. Kunzhou and Minzhou both took the initiative. Gao Yuan was really scratching his head as to how to deal with these two places, but now Li Can's move has set a benchmark for how Kunzhou should do it. I think Moren should also have a recipe.

"I think this Mo Ren hated Li Can to the core today. It seems that Li Can didn't communicate with Mo Ren at all and caught Mo Ren off guard." Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.

Gao Yuan laughed, "A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. This Li Can may look chubby, but he is really smart. Since this person is so knowledgeable, we should naturally spare no reward and leave him a seat in the council hall."

"Give me a seat in the council?" Cao Tiancheng was surprised. As of today, in Zhengdong Mansion, there are only two people in the council hall, Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao.

"Of course, since he did it so simply, I will naturally give him corresponding compensation. Didn't you see that Li Can has completely given up on Minzhou? If my guess is right, he will then give up his All the family members moved to Jicheng. By the way, why do you think Li Can has such a huge fleet?"

"Minzhou is close to the sea. Li Can has said before that his family is rich and he can live well without this land. You are not polite. Li owns a fleet of ships for long-distance trade, which can be said to be a source of wealth." Cao Tiancheng said, " We at Sihai Trading have always wanted to break into it before, but we have never been successful. Li's control is very strict."

"This Governor Li seems to be no ordinary person. He is traveling on a long voyage to trade. I wonder which direction he ran to?"

"I really don't know about this, but it takes about half a year for his fleet to come in and out. It seems that it is really not close." Cao Tiancheng said: "We haven't figured out the specific situation yet."

"One round trip a year!" Gao Yuan was surprised. Based on the current speed, he made a rough estimate in his mind and already had a rough outline in his mind. "If this is really the case, then he still has the location of the Assembly Hall. It’s really worthy. We need an expert in this field, who might be able to be useful at some point.”

"The governor took a fancy to this fleet and wanted to recruit him into the navy?" Cao Tiancheng asked.

"No." Gao Yuan said flatly: "I value their voyage more. Lao Cao, the world is very big. It's beyond my expectation that Governor Li has such courage. But I can explain it to you in a moment. I don’t know, you can talk to Li Can in detail after you meet him."

At this time, Cao Tiancheng naturally didn't know that Gao Yuan thought that there were a lot of silver and copper mines on a certain island country overseas. As long as there were navy, routes and knowledge, The people on this sea route have an endless source of wealth!

While speaking, Yan Shenghao had already sent the two of them back.

"Commander, the matter in Minzhou has been solved so easily, which is beyond people's expectations, but it seems that Kunzhou may not be able to handle it that way!" Yan Shenghao said.

Gao Yuan chuckled, "With the example of Minzhou, Moren should think carefully about it after he returns. If he cooperates with us, his glory and wealth will be indispensable. If he wants to violate our basic national policy, what will be the consequences? No need Let me tell you?"

Mei Yipo was frightened when he heard this. Gao Yuan's calm tone most likely meant that rivers of blood would flow and his family would be destroyed. He was a businessman, but he didn't dare to listen. He immediately stood up and said, "Captain, I'm... …”

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Mei, don't worry, this time you donated two hundred thousand taels of silver to my Zhengdong Mansion. I'm afraid this is what you have earned from your hard work in the past two years!"

Mei Yipo bowed and said: "Mei used to be just an ordinary businessman. In the past two years, he has been favored by the governor and supported by Mr. Cao, and he has earned some money. I heard Mr. Cao say that Zhengdong Mansion is now in financial difficulty. I only have this little fortune, and although it has nothing to do with the overall situation and is of little help, it is better than nothing."

"If there are more righteous businessmen like Mr. Mei, why don't we worry about conquering Dongfu!" Gao Yuan said with emotion: "Father of a tiger and son of a tiger, Mei Hua can also be a fierce general in my young guard. His commander Yang Dasha is a very difficult person to get along with, but he values ​​Mei Hua very highly."

"Thank you very much for the compliment from the Governor. He has some achievements, but he is not promoted by the Governor!"

Gao Yuan laughed, "That's true. It's true that I personally appointed these two boys to the Red Guards, him and Wu Ya. However, today's achievements are beyond my expectation. If everything If everything goes well, I think there will be a general coming to Mr. Mei’s house soon!”

Gao Yuan affirmed, and Mei Yipo smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. The most disobedient boy at that time actually supported the Mei family. Mei Yipo knew very well that Cao Tiancheng chose him to be the governor of Hejian County. The spokesperson of Sihai Trading is because of Meihua.

Cao Tiancheng on the other side said at this time: "Captain, Li Can disturbed the situation earlier, but he didn't enjoy the drink this time. The governor just got a son, who will strictly discuss the government. Should we have another dinner to congratulate the governor?" "

Yan Shenghao naturally echoed, and before Gao Yuan could speak, Cao Tiancheng waved to He Weiyuan to prepare the food and drinks. Gao Yuan, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly fell down. He thought he could escape today, but he didn't want to avoid it. (To be completed.) Continued)
