"Look at the way you look at me, as if you want to eat me. How much do you think my body of meat can be sold for? Then hurry up and sell me. If it can really help you open a mine, You can just take the money, but don't stare at me like a hungry wolf."
Gao Shaoyi stuffed a mouthful of pork head meat into his mouth and chewed it deliciously. General Long lowered his head in embarrassment beside him. It was not that he had always looked like this, but that he was so poor recently that he couldn't explain it. The entire northwest region There are not many places to get money. If we talk about taxation, it means basically no money. It turns out that the warlords in the northwest region are the poorest. They plundered the common people to get it. If General Long did the same thing, He will probably be dismissed from his post and investigated within two days.
Our suppressing army is different from others. Even if the local army is stationed here, it does not necessarily mean that the cost of the garrison will be paid by this place. If it is allowed to be paid by this place, it will be different from the previous big army. No matter what the dynasty is, the northwest region will definitely not be able to support this army. After the army withdraws, the entire region will fall into chaos again.
"Your Majesty, I am really not crying about poverty. Are there any of the people in the meeting just now who are poorer than me? Take the three southwestern provinces that we just won. They also have a huge amount of wealth from the chieftain. After all, there are places where people can make money everywhere, but my place has nothing of value except for sand."
General Long said with a wry smile. Zhou Zhipeng next to him nodded sympathetically. All areas of the Daqian Empire can be said to be good places given by God. Either you can make money here or you can make money there. Anyway, as long as you are not a lazy person, All can manage this area, except the northwest region. The situation there is really terrible. Two-thirds of the land is Gobi Desert and desert. In addition to mineral resources, what else can you expect them to do in a place like this? What to do?
Historically, the Daqian Empire also hoped to develop this area. At that time, it spent a lot of money and did a lot of things, but in the end it did not develop this area, but instead caused the court to lose a lot of money. Money, many local people also suffered a lot, so from that time on, no one talked about going to the northwest region for development. Everyone seemed to have forgotten this place, and it was not as good as the three southwest provinces where General Long was born.
"I can give you the money for exploration, but not the money for mining. I can only mark out some local minerals. If anyone wants to make money, there are many large companies in the inland, so don't worry. Government or private, as long as they are willing to invest in that place, I can give them some tax benefits, and I can also be responsible for ensuring their safety. As for whether you can keep them or not, it is your business. In addition to being the local military commander, you are also the head of the local government, and this matter is your responsibility."
Gao Shaoyi said with a smile, you do have difficulties in the northwest region, but no matter how great your difficulties are, the higher-ups will never give you a blanket solution to everything. I can only give you some limited discounts. How you do things in the end is probably your own business. If you can solve it, then we will definitely not say anything. A little help is okay, but let us all help, God There is no reason for this. People in other areas will not be willing to do so. They are not born from stepmothers.
After hearing Gao Shaoyi's words, half of the smile on General Long's face disappeared. The northwest region can be said to be very poor. Even if someone invests in it, they don't know what good policies to give them. They can't find it within a hundred miles.
People and companies don’t know how to deal with requests if they make them. You can’t let the military take off their clothes and help you mine.
"Looking at your embarrassed look, that's good. We also have several mining companies in Daliao Peninsula, and they happen to have offices in the capital. I can contact them first. After the court's exploration is completed, they will send their own exploration team.
If the group goes over, I guess they will invest if the conditions are right, but you must provide security, such as sending troops for protection, etc. If you don't even have this, then I don't dare to give you a guarantee."
Helping people to help deliver the Buddha to the west, Zhou Zhipeng thought of several large companies in his territory. They have been looking for mineral veins recently. They have long heard that the northwest region is rich in resources, but because there is no official person to show them the way, so
They don't dare to enter the northwest region rashly. If they are robbed by those horse bandits, they will have nothing. They originally went there to make money, but now they have to make a loss before making money. What will happen?
Time to reason.
"Thank you so much, General Zhou. I have nothing to say here. I have placed these three glasses of wine here. I will drink them immediately. If I frown, my surname is not Long."
General Long is indeed a generous man. Zhou Zhipeng has helped so much, but he doesn't know how to thank him. After all, compared with Daliao Province, the northwest region is very poor, and there is no place for anyone to thank him.
Gao Shaoyi happily watched the two people fight for wine. This is his brother. He has integrated the resources within his own territory and helped everyone make progress together. Although the mine is opened in the northwest region, the head office is in Daliao Province.
, after making money locally, the money will definitely be transported back to Daliao Province, and then it can stimulate local development. Moreover, during the early mining, workers from Daliao Province will come there, and they can earn another
Sending this money back home can also enrich the economy of Daliao Province. This can be said to be a win-win situation.
After drinking until the sun was about to set, Gao Shaoyi finally had enough to drink. Gao Shaoyi asked the two drunkards to be pulled to the guest room next to them. They could no longer stand up. If they were sent back at this time,
It's very possible that he caught a cold on the way, and Gao Shaoyi didn't want his two generals to catch a cold.
When Gao Shaoyi was about to go back to rest, he suddenly saw a man dressed as a eunuch sitting in the front hall. Isn't this the Eunuch Wei who is beside the emperor? He couldn't win over him earlier, but now he has come to surrender to the city.
