As I said before, the empire has strict rules, but they are only limited to those that represent status and authority.
For example, if you, an ordinary person, wander the streets with a red-handled knife, the police will definitely pounce on you as soon as possible and arrest you. They will also impose the most severe punishment as soon as possible. They will also publicize it online and kill you.
Monkey Ichiban even said it euphemistically: The foundation of the empire cannot be damaged in the slightest!
Let's switch to another behavior that even more undermines the foundation of the empire: the judge acquits powerful criminals, but no one pays attention to it. Instead, everyone laments that they are not good at it, no wonder they can't fight others.
Of course, you can't blatantly violate the prohibition, because this is tantamount to a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the entire empire, and the higher-ups will have to deal with you even if you didn't expect it. So everyone knows it, but you have to pretend to hide it.
Do it so that no one knows about it. At the same time, you can't leave any obvious evidence, otherwise it will be bad luck if your political opponents catch you.
The imperial officialdom was so hypocritical.
Lin Dongyun is now faced with either pretending to be ignorant and allowing the Xicang Mine to continue to settle. However, this is estimated to be unlikely. Seeing that Ouyang Jun launched a civil war as soon as he took office, the main purpose is for the Xicang Mine. This mine
Can't hide it.
Now one Ouyang Jun is peeping, but there are probably more people peeping behind him.
So the only option is to develop the Xicang Mine.
Lin Dongyun doesn’t just want to mine and sell ores by himself, he has the ability to smelt and sell metals by himself, he is even more awesome, he can make devices and sell goods!
But it is a pity that the empire cannot mine it and can only sell it to the merchants of the powerful powers. Only in this way can we dissuade those who are eager to see it.
Well, I can't say that Ouyang Jun is the advance army of a certain powerful businessman. But it's strange that I am the commander-in-chief and the Xicang Mine is in my hands. Why don't the powerful businessmen come to me? Instead, they waste their efforts.
Let Tangqiao Shou come to start a civil war?
But now these are all meaningless things. It is better to sell the mine to others than to sell it yourself. Anyway, I will use the money I get in Zhangxia Village. After all, my system task is to solve the strange space in Zhangxia Village! No.
If you arm your men well, how can you deal with the alien space that is about to explode?
“Which country do the powerful merchants you can find over there come from? Can we make an appointment to talk?” Lin Dongyun asked.
Originally, he had been keeping an eye on Lin Dongyun, fearing that this young and frivolous second generation of powerful people would do whatever he wanted and that he would be too young and arrogant to care about the great powers. They were all ready to warn him about what the great powers were eyeing. If he didn't get it, he would
There are a series of examples of trouble happening.
Unexpectedly, Lin Dongyun just thought for a moment and expressed that he wanted to negotiate with the powerful businessmen who were eyeing the Xicang mine?
Hey, you are truly worthy of being the second generation of a powerful man. He has a clear understanding of the country's situation and knows that the great powers cannot afford to offend him!
He just opened his mouth and responded: "He is a businessman from the Gran Empire. As for making an appointment to negotiate..." Ouyang Jun hesitated.
It was normal. He knew that his family was targeting the Xicang Mine. One of them was his uncle, Hebin Mayor Ouyang Bin, who was requested by an envoy from the Gran Empire. The other was that his family wanted to make a big profit from this deal.
.
The reason why Ouyang Jun felt that he could still be saved because of Lin Dongyun's inquiry after losing his position as Tangqiao guard was that he believed that making a big fortune was secondary to the family, and that the most important thing was to keep the Hegelan Empire.
The relationship between envoys!
Those on the outside don’t know it clearly, but the people inside actually know it at a glance. The great powers have a very wide reputation in the imperial court.
Perhaps it should be said that the imperial court pretended to be tough on the surface when facing the great powers, but was secretly weak.
There are many cunning, shrewd and courageous senior officials who have grasped this essence and gained a lot of benefits from the imperial court through their close relationships with the great powers.
Therefore, when Ouyang Jun thinks about it, as long as he can meet the request of the Grant Empire envoy to take over the Xicang Mine, the relationship between the Ouyang family and the Grant Empire can be further developed. On the contrary, if he can make money through this, he doesn't need to worry about it.
.
But this relationship is in the hands of his uncle Ouyang Bin, and he must not go beyond him to establish relations with the envoys of the powerful powers in England, especially this kind of business relationship.
But now Lin Dongyun, the commander-in-chief, has the power. Without him, no one can get the Xicang Mine, unless the envoy of the Gran Empire directly comes forward to request the governor. But thinking about it, such a big shot will not be willing to give up his face.
Spend it on things like this.
After all, the Xicang Mine is a huge fortune for a small businessman and a municipal family, but for an envoy of a major power in a governor-general, it is probably a share of the country with some benefits.
It's just a favor from a businessman. To the governor, it's nothing more than wool.
Ouyang Jun hesitated for a moment and decided to confess: "Major Lin, the person who is actually targeting the Xicang Mine is the envoy of the Grant Empire in the Governor's Region. It is not him who is targeting him, but a businessman from the Grant Empire.
, I just found the envoy to come forward."
"The person who took charge of this matter was my uncle, the mayor of Hebin City, Ouyang Bin. I was just sent by the family as a worker. Our initial plan was for me to directly serve as the commander. If that was the case,
The mine sales contract is probably signed."
Lin Dongyun blinked: "You mean, I have to talk to the mayor of Hebin about the Xicang Mine?"
"Yes." Ouyang Jun nodded: "It is most direct to talk to my uncle. Of course, if you have connections, Major Lin, you can talk to Ambassador Gran directly. That will be more direct."
Lin Dongyun pouted, if he had a way, I would hold an auction and sell the Xicang Mine to the highest bidder.
Just thinking about going to meet the mayor of Hebin City and the first brother of Hebin City, Lin Dongyun couldn't help but feel a little timid, but after seeing the red-handled knife on his waist, he became more courageous.
The mayor also has a red-handled sword, and according to his rank, he is the same as his major.
Although the power of the mayor is countless times greater than that of the governor himself, the political world and the military world are not in harmony with each other.
More importantly, he is the garrison envoy and exists in a separate line in the Guangwu Army. It is even easier for a mayor to do nothing to him.
So if you are afraid of hair loss, it is right to sell the Xicang mine that is being targeted as soon as possible and concentrate on preparing for the explosion in another space!
So Lin Dongyun nodded: "Please help me contact Mayor Ouyang. I am willing to discuss with him how to sell the Xicang Mine."
"Okay, I'll call and report it right away." Ouyang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Dongyun quickly got up and left the ward, leaving room for Ouyang Jun to make the call.
