"When I was in the capital, I always wanted to work abroad, but during this period I also felt unwell..."
Rongkang was unwilling to destroy the current relationship. Since Gao Shaoyi had other plans, Rongkang felt that he should retreat first. Of course, he could not wait for his son-in-law to speak directly. He had to say that he had a physical problem. This was also
It's like finding a suitable excuse for yourself.
"My father-in-law is in his prime, do you have any health problems? If you have any problems, you'd better go to Haicheng for a full-body examination. The hospitals in Haicheng are already quite advanced now, and I haven't heard of your father-in-law.
Do you have any physical problems?"
Gao Shaoyi said with some surprise that he had no intention of letting Rong Kang retreat. He also very much agreed with Rong Kang's behavior of resuming production along the way. Such a person is considered an alternative among the Suppression Army. After all, Gao Shaoyi's subordinates
They are all a group of people who know how to fight. When it comes to resuming production, I'm afraid those people can't be compared to Rongkang even if they are tied up.
When Rongkang heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood. The son-in-law had no intention of retreating by himself, but what did he mean by saying that? It couldn't be just a casual chat.
"I just have a minor health problem. I don't need to work so hard. Besides, there is still a lot of work here. Are there any other arrangements?"
Rongkang is also familiar with his son-in-law's personality. Since he has no such thoughts, he might as well open the skylight and speak openly to avoid guessing here and raising his blood pressure for a while.
"Zhongliao and Beiliao provinces should be under our control soon. Even if the Rakshasa people still have some scattered troops there, they will not provide any kind of support domestically, let alone any outlet to the sea. I guess
In three months at most, Zhao Wencheng should be able to push it through. At that time, I intend to merge these three provinces into one, and let my father-in-law serve as the governor."
Although the area of the three provinces is large, except for Daliao, the population of the other two provinces is not very large. If they are divided into three provinces, it will be too troublesome to manage. It is better to divide these three provinces.
A province becomes a province.
Rongkang couldn't digest it for a while. He originally thought that he could not do anything for the governor, but now he wants to put the other two governors on him. What kind of smoke is coming from the ancestral graves?
?If someone else said this, Rongkang would definitely not believe it.
The regions have existed for such a long time. Can you merge them if you want? But since these words came from the mouth of the commander of the Suppression Army, there is a 80% chance.
"I'm afraid I don't have that much ability to manage. One province is already very hard for me. If it were three provinces, I'm afraid my hair would fall out faster."
What Rong Kang said was true. Although he wanted to hold these three provinces in his heart, he still knew very well how capable he was. If this was really the case, he would have to have enough staff.
Just fine.
"Father-in-law, just do it reluctantly for a while. If you need to recruit masters, you can put up a sign in the capital. Our liaison office can also help. In addition to Daliao Province, the other two provinces
The population is not very large, but there is a lot of arable land. Even if it is harvested once a year, it can produce a lot of food. I want to turn this place into a granary for the army to suppress the invaders in the future."
Gao Shaoyi finally said what he was thinking. Even if the system can exchange food, Gao Shaoyi still wants to achieve food self-sufficiency in society.
Food is really important to the army. How can we ensure combat effectiveness if we don't even have enough to eat? And for things like the system, Gao Shaoyi is not 100% convinced, so it is best to approach it both ways.
After hearing what Gao Shaoyi said, Rongkang was also very excited. Except for Daliao Province, the other two provinces were basically barren land. Although the land was fertile, the population was not large. If you want to turn these two provinces into
As for the granary, one can imagine the hardship involved, but Rongkang is also a person who is willing to challenge himself.
"I will definitely do my best to help you realize this wish, but you must also know that the upfront cost is not a small amount."
Rongkang has a lot of experience in people's livelihood. Turning wasteland into cultivated land is not that simple. What's more, the land in the two provinces is very large, and their populations are very sparse. If you want to do this, you may have to start from the south.
Immigrated.
Matters involving immigration also involve spending money. The Suppression Army is now fighting everywhere and spending as much money as water every day. Do they still have enough money to complete this task?
"The annual investment will not be less than eight million silver coins, and the investment will last for more than three years. What does my father-in-law think?"
After Gao Shaoyi's words came out, all the questions in Rongkang's mind disappeared. If Rongkang could invest eight million silver coins every year for three consecutive years, if Rongkang could not turn these three provinces into a grain base,
Then Rongkang should just go home and take care of the child, and stop being a governor here.
"You don't need to invest for three years, you only need to invest for two years. If there is no way to turn it into a food producing area, I will resign immediately and return home."
Rongkang is also a very passionate person. Gao Shaoyi has already given you so many preferential conditions. If you still can't complete the task, just stop playing here. Your ability can't keep up with the Zhenlu Army.
development, staying here will only bring disgrace to oneself.
"Then we and I have made an agreement."
The two men drank tea instead of wine, high-fived each other and swore an oath of alliance. Matters related to the future development of the three provinces were settled in this way.
"Do you have any plans for the capital?"
After talking about Daliao's affairs, Rongkang was still very concerned about Gao Shaoyi's affairs in the capital.
It will definitely be more difficult for Gao Shaoyi to return to Beijing this time than the last time, because Gao Shaoyi's achievements are getting higher and higher, and the court has already felt that Gao Shaoyi's achievements are so great that he may even be the leader...
"Try to obey the regulations of the imperial court, but if it means surrendering and betraying the country, I will never agree to it. I will never give up any of the land that the suppressing army has occupied."
Facing his old father-in-law, Gao Shaoyi, he could say everything he wanted to say, but if he was facing the Crown Prince Kang, I am afraid Gao Shaoyi would not be able to express what is in his heart, he could only stop talking...
