Chapter 1114 The governors seat can be added(1/2)
"Yeah." Han Du nodded lightly.
"That's tens of thousands of miles away," Tang He couldn't help but sigh.
When everyone heard this, they also nodded slightly with sadness.
Nanyang is not far away from the Ming Dynasty. If you want to be a governor for five years with financial incentives, everyone can accept it. But if you are really tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, everyone may not be able to accept it.
Han Du didn't think so, but said, "Isn't it better to be far away? The further away, the less civil servants dare to go. Isn't this our opportunity?"
Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing, who had never spoken before, also spoke at this time, "We are not afraid of the distance, but we heard that there are barbarians over there. Even if we go, what benefits can we gain?" ??
Tang He also echoed at this time: "Yes, why don't you tell everyone what the situation is over there, so that everyone can have peace of mind."
"Okay, then I'll tell you guys about the situation over there." Han Du nodded, sorted out his thoughts and said, "It's true that there are barbarians over there, but don't think that they don't have any good things."
At this point, Han Du suddenly paused and asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen ginseng?"
Everyone didn't understand what Han Du meant, and nodded subconsciously. Of course they had seen ginseng, and there were quite a few of them. After all, they were all marquis, and a century-old ginseng that was rare for ordinary people to see was nothing to them.
"Have you ever seen ginseng as thick as a radish?" Han Du said with a smile.
Tang He was the first to react, and immediately sat up straight, even leaning slightly towards Han Du, and asked: "Are you kidding me? Ginseng is as thick as a radish?"
As people get older, they are most sensitive to these things.
Han Du turned his head to look at him, shrugged and said, "I brought back several large boxes this time. If you don't believe me, you can ask the emperor for some."
"You didn't keep it secret?" Tang He looked at Han Du suspiciously.
Han Du's face suddenly smiled helplessly, "I did have this idea, and I also had this preparation, but after the emperor saw the ginseng, he kicked me off the ship and forbade me to get close. I didn't have time."
Tang He nodded when he heard this, and then said, "I understand."
Tang He had no doubts about what Han Du said. Firstly, Han Du could do such a thing. Secondly, even the superiors could do such a thing.
Since ancient times, wealth has attracted people's hearts. When they heard that there was such a good treasure across the sea, the eyes of all the nobles became hot.
Han Du smiled warmly and continued to add fuel to their fire, saying, "That's not all, there is a lot of gold and silver over there."
"A lot? Is it as much as in Nanyang? But this time you came back and didn't bring much gold and silver?" Wang Bi asked puzzledly.
"I did not bring much when I came back this time." Han Du nodded and explained: "But that's because I have to take care of growing food first. If I didn't have to bring food, I would have packed all the ships.
Full of gold and silver."
"Hiss~ Are there so many?"
Everyone took a deep breath together.
Han Du snorted and said, "The gold and silver in Nanyang is nothing compared to that over there. Do you know what I saw over there?"
Han Du smiled and glanced at everyone, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"What's the scene? Zhenhaihou, please stop tempting me and tell us all."
Han Du coughed twice, and after focusing everyone's attention on himself, he said in detail: "There is a lot of gold over there. You are all people who have seen the world. Do you think there is enough gold?"
"What's the point? Is it really worth the money?" Cao Zhen asked quickly. He is the most positive about money now.
Han Du rolled his eyes at him, thinking that this guy was not very good at chatting. But he still explained: "That's not true. Gold mountains and silver seas are myths and legends. Who in the world has seen them with their own eyes? But there is indeed a lot of gold over there, so
Let’s talk about a tribe with a population of about a thousand. Their chief is dressed in gold from head to toe. Not only the bowl he eats from, but also the ladle he drinks from are made of gold. Even the board he sits on is made of gold.
, that’s also a gold plate.”
Everyone's hearts were moved when they heard this, a tribe with thousands of mouths
, if this were the Ming Dynasty, it would only have a population of one li at most, and the chief would be almost the same as the li chief of the Ming Dynasty.
A village leader dares to be so extravagant? Shame on him. The wealth in the world should naturally belong to the virtuous. Everyone present is virtuous and should share this gold.
"It's not just that." Seeing everyone's high interest, Han Du couldn't help but continue: "You must know that it is a land several times larger than the Ming Dynasty. The gold, silver, fur, gems and medicinal materials produced are all valuable.
, it is simply a land of wealth. Not to mention everyone here, even if it is ten times or a hundred times more, it is impossible to fully eat it."
"I'm not afraid that you won't make any money, but I'm afraid that you won't dare to make this money."
As soon as Han Du finished speaking, Cao Zhen was the first to stand up and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Zhenhai, as long as there is money to be made, our old Cao can earn a fortune for the family. Let alone tens of thousands of miles, even if it is
So what if we leave this hundred and ten kilograms on the opposite side? We are only afraid of poverty, not death!"
Someone laughed and quickly echoed Cao Zhen's words, "That's right, that's right, everyone was killed by mountains of swords and seas of fire, so what does death mean?"
"Haha, when we attacked Xinzhou, if we hadn't been blocked by the war horse, we would have died a long time ago. As long as we can get some benefits, we will die in Xinzhou."
Looking at the excited crowd, Han Du raised his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile: "It's not as serious as everyone said. Nowadays, naval warships are built very big, and their ability to withstand wind and waves is also very strong, and their safety has been greatly improved.
. Even if you have to sail to the other side, as long as you walk along the coast and don't set foot in the deep sea, you don't have to worry about anything. It's very safe."
No one thought there was any risk. It was just an urgent way to vent their emotions when they were excited.
Seeing that everyone's hostility towards Han Du was gone, Tang He also laughed and asked: "Since America is so good, what about Nanyang? What should we do, just give up the Governor's Mansion to those civil servants?"
"How can that be done?" Han Du refused without any hesitation.
He glanced at everyone again and continued: "After all, we built Nanyang with our swords and guns. Among the first batch of governors who were in Nanyang, didn't they sleep with one eye open? Which one didn't sleep every day?
, are all leading troops to fight?"
"Now that the situation in Nanyang is stable, civil servants will come to pick peaches? How can such a cheap thing be done?"
Han Du's words made all the nobles feel warm in their hearts, and they all nodded in agreement with Han Du's meaning.
Raising his hand, Han Du solemnly said: "That's what I think. The emperor wants to appoint a civilian as the governor of Nanyang. We don't object, and we can't object. We can also give up the seat of the governor of Nanyang. We can give it to a civilian.
, but they must not steal it!"
"That's right, we can give in to the emperor's will. But if they want to rob, then we will fight them desperately." There are no fools here. They understood Han Du's meaning as soon as they heard it.
Han Du nodded slightly and finally said: "So, from now on, if the emperor decrees that someone should go to Nanyang to serve as governor, we will not object. But if a civil servant wants to take the initiative to ask for a post, then we will argue with him."
"Okay, let's do it!"
Han Du's move is to separate the civil servants from each other. Of course, Lao Zhu's will must be followed to the letter, otherwise he will be asking for death. But for the civil servants and nobles, there is no need to be polite to them. Everyone is doing it
If you eat with one head, who is afraid of whom?
As long as the benefits are sufficient, what if you go up against the civil service group? That's it!
Everyone's misunderstanding was solved, and they also found out from Han Du. They didn't have to worry about not having the governor's seat. So they went to the opposite America. Although it was a little farther and a little harder, but according to Han Du,
It is also easier to make money there.
Not to mention gold, silver and gems, even if you go to the mountains to dig ginseng, you can still make a fortune.
All the nobles were smiling and looking happy.
Tang He also smiled when he saw it. He was very happy with the ending. He could eliminate Han Du.
There were misunderstandings with others, and Han Du found another way to make money for everyone when the outcome of Nanyang was irreversible. Even if Tang He wanted to be unhappy, he couldn't do it.
His old voice sounded like he said: "Today, I am hosting a banquet in my house. Let's eat and drink well and not go home until we are drunk."
"Thank you sir," everyone laughed and raised their hands to Tang He.
At a banquet, many people drank until they were extremely drunk and were taken away by servants.
Han Du is no exception. Everyone knows that he has a good drinking capacity, so they naturally work together to target him. Moreover, Han Du is known for being good at making money. In their opinion, the position of governor of Nanyang is great, but in Han Du's opinion, it is nothing more than that.
In just a few words, we found a new way to make money for everyone.
Although such a person is a little younger, how could they not quickly fawn over the person they want to make money from? As long as Han Du can make money with them, age is not a problem at all, and they can consider Han Du as their brother.
Not only does the huge Qianqing Palace not look dim at all in the dark night, but it is also set off by the surrounding darkness, making it feel a bit brighter.
In the past, this scene would not have happened in the Qianqing Palace. Back then, when Lao Zhu was so poor, he wanted to break a penny into two flowers. Where can it be like now, where candles as thick as an arm can be lit densely in a circle. There are also special I got some glass covers for the oil lamps, which not only collects the oil fumes and prevents them from flying around, but also makes the lights brighter.
Lao Zhu was sitting on the dragon chair, flipping through a book.
A man from outside the palace came to the door, waited for the eunuch to pass the message and received Lao Zhu's nod, then walked in.
"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty."
Lao Zhu closed the book, threw it on the imperial desk, exhaled, and asked: "After the court meeting today, the nobles gathered at Xinguo Duke's Mansion. What happened?"
Jiang Wei suddenly raised his head and immediately replied solemnly: "Back to the emperor, I found out that it is the Duke of Xin who is inviting everyone to a banquet."
"Then what? What did they say?" Lao Zhu had some anger on his face and asked in a heavy tone.
"This minister is incompetent, and it has not yet been discovered." Jiang Gu suddenly sweated on his forehead and trembled on the ground.
Lao Zhu suddenly slapped the imperial case with his palm, pointed angrily at Jiang Wei and yelled: "You are just incompetent!"
"I deserve death for my crime. Please calm down, Your Majesty. I will send more men to investigate again!" Jiang Wei hurriedly bowed to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu wanted to get angry, but when he got there, he had to give up the plan. Ever since what happened to Mao Xiang, the fear in Lao Zhu's heart has not calmed down yet. No matter who it is, he will no longer Trust will not allow people to follow you around casually like Mao Xiang.
Therefore, although Jiang Wei took over Mao Xiang's position, since he had just taken over, the internal relations within the Yiluan Division had not yet been clarified, so he was naturally unable to report secret information, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Lao Zhu also understood this, so he had no intention of punishing Jiang Yu. He glanced at him, waved his hand angrily: "Go away, if you can't find out if you can't find out, don't come back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will definitely investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it." Jiang Wei retreated from the Qianqing Palace with great joy, gritting his teeth and determined to get to the bottom of this matter.
"roll!"
