Li Huacheng saw all of Li Tianlan's reactions. The awkward and awkward attitude of wanting to say something but not wanting to say it, wanting to ask something but not wanting to ask it, made him laugh subconsciously.
This kind of reaction is really reserved for young people. At least at his age, it is basically unheard of.
Qin Weibai didn't want to see Li Tianlan.
This meaning was expressed very clearly. Of course Li Tianlan wanted to ask why, but in the end it was just a question. It was difficult to tell whether this complicated mood was due to curiosity or unwillingness. It was precisely because of this that Li Tianlan shut up and said one word.
Don't even say anything.
But Li Huacheng had nothing to worry about. He smiled and said directly: "Why doesn't Xiaobai want to see Tianlan?"
Ma Si hesitated and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.
He really didn't know what was going on.
The knight had explicitly requested not to tell Li Tianlan about Qin Weibai's disappearance for several days.
And with his current status, it is not convenient for him to tell Li Tianlan, Li Huacheng, and Ma Si.
It is true that he is Li Huacheng's man, but he is now the first deputy palace master of the East Palace. Even if he wants to say something, he must learn to shut up. Many times, there are even some things that Li Huacheng just wants to talk about.
He knew it, and he didn't want Ma Si to tell him.
The trade-offs involved, taken alone, can be regarded as a science, and can even be said to be wisdom.
How to gain a foothold in the East Palace and become the first deputy palace master in the true sense depends on what Ma Si does.
"Tianlan will lead the team to this signing ceremony."
Li Huacheng didn't get the answer, so he glanced at Li Tianlan and stopped asking any more questions. Instead, he reminded his former secretary: "In terms of posture, you can be a little tougher."
The sentence "leading the team" is enough to explain Li Tianlan's position in today's feast.
Ma Si was a little surprised, but he quickly understood. He nodded and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, are we waiting for you in Tiannan to set off together?"
He chuckled softly: "You have been away from Tiannan for a few days, it's time to come back and take a look."
"Nothing to see."
Li Tianlan's voice was calm and without any fluctuation: "I will go directly to Annan, see you then."
From Youzhou to Annan, it will be relatively troublesome if you pass through Tiannan.
Tiannan's current airport is still under construction and is not open to traffic. Li Tianlan must first get off the plane in Nanyun, then take a helicopter to Tiannan, and then fly to Annan. This is the fastest way.
But if he goes directly to Annan, these steps can be ignored, and he will get off the plane directly at Annan Airport.
This signing must be formal and grand.
With Li Tianlan's current status and the attitude of a winner, Li Songping would arrange an extremely grand and over-the-top welcome ceremony for Li Tianlan.
Such as salutes, such as flowers, such as doves of peace, such as elite escorts clearing the way, such as city road closures...
No detail should be missing.
If Li Tianlan passed by the East Palace, it would inevitably be less formal than it should be.
"Just go there each other."
Li Huacheng waved his hand, looked at Ma Si, and said seriously: "Xiao Ma, once the Tiannan Treaty is signed, a great opportunity for the development of Tiannan will come. You must seize the opportunity and make a great article.
It’s not that other people don’t have opinions when I send you there, you have to behave well and shut their mouths.”
"yes!"
Ma Si agreed very seriously, and then laughed again: "But Tiannan's foundation is still a bit weak after all. Now the scale is expanding, and there are thousands of things. Speaker, can Zhongzhou provide some support?"
"Shengshi Fund is so rich that you came to me to ask for help?"
Li Huacheng laughed and cursed.
Ma Si smiled playfully, but he refused to let go and was very determined to support and help.
Tiannan was indeed very poor before.
To be precise, Annan as a whole is far from endowed.
At the beginning, two of the three cities in Tiannan could barely be considered big cities in the north, but they looked no better than the small cities in Central Continent. Their population was even smaller, and the overall look was extremely backward.
.
Shengshi Fund does have money, and it has even reached the point where it can't be spent all. Theoretically speaking, Shengshi Fund can fully afford various construction projects in Tiannan.
But the problem is that many things cannot be solved with money. Wealth is only the foundation. When wealth is invested, according to the operating principles of Shengshi Fund, they must see returns.
The East Palace is the core of Tiannan, and Tiannan is the foundation of the East Palace. The two must complement each other. If this cannot be done, then Tiannan will become a burden for the Shengshi Fund. This is obviously not what the East Palace wants to see.
of.
"Tell me, what kind of support do you want?"
Li Huacheng suppressed his smile and asked slowly.
"There must be some inclination from the front and side."
Ma Si said seriously: "Only if this aspect is attractive enough, can we attract various external resources.
In addition to the issue of population settlement, the current population of Tiannan is still too small. It is nice to say that the land is vast and sparsely populated. I hope that the parliament can encourage people to develop and settle in Tiannan. This land is not considered rich, but if you are willing to spend
If we can establish a complete economic system over time, this place will be enough to become the home of 20 million people in the next twenty years.
In addition, a large amount of infrastructure construction also requires manpower.
The executive system also requires a large number of manpower.
My current preliminary plan is to establish ten cities in Xintiannan, with Xuanyuan City as the center, re-plan transportation, and establish pillar industries. Tiannan's terrain is relatively complex and its agricultural foundation is relatively weak, but it is not a barren mountain.
There is still a bright future for the tourism industry..."
The more Ma Si talked, the more he couldn't stop talking. It was obvious that he had begun to enter the role in advance.
Li Huacheng listened silently, with appreciation in his eyes.
After the new Tiannan officially joins Zhongzhou, Tiannan's executive officer system will begin to operate. Apart from Ning Qiancheng, there is no other candidate for the first executive officer.
The most important thing is that Tiannan's first executive officer must enter the parliament. For such a special place, and it has just joined Zhongzhou, it is simply unjustifiable not to join the parliament, and it will also show that Zhongzhou does not pay attention to Tiannan.
Therefore, Ning Qiancheng is very likely to become the youngest member of parliament besides Li Tianlan.
He is only thirty years old this year. It would be impossible for such a thing to happen in other places, but the special nature of Tiannan makes all this seem extremely normal.
After all, Li Tianlan is also a young man.
And the entire Tiannan was conquered by a group of young people. Now that the overall situation has been decided, even if they are rewarded based on their merits, it is impossible to throw these young people away. Their real achievements are enough to erase all the so-called lack of qualifications.
Huangfuyi had previously discussed with Li Tianlan the issue of letting Huangfu Qiushui hold the sword for Li Tianlan.
The rise of the Eastern Palace will make Li Tianlan's future family become the top super wealthy family in the dark world. Judging from the current situation, with Ning Qiancheng entering the parliament, Tiannan's first wealthy family that truly lives around Li Tianlan has already
Appeared.
That is the Ning family.
The Council currently has no way to shake Ning Qiancheng's position in Tiannan, and it is even more impossible to compete with him for the position of executive officer.
After Ning Qiancheng, Tiannan's chief should be Li Huazhang.
Li Huacheng naturally paid a lot of attention to this veteran of the Li family whose name was very similar to his own and looked like a brother.
This is a person who truly has the blood of the Li family flowing through his body. He is currently in charge of Tiannan. After Tiannan officially appears, he will naturally occupy a more important position.
Neither the executive nor the chief executive can make decisions.
Naturally, the position of governor belongs to Ma Si, and his positioning of himself is obviously correct in his heart, and he has now begun to plan for the future development of Tiannan.
Regarding this matter, Li Huacheng does not intend to be stingy.
The so-called expansion of territory does not mean just conquering a piece of wasteland. Once it is taken, it must be used rationally. Even if he is still in office, in the next five years, a large amount of resources will flow into Tiannan from Central China.
Li Huacheng is not sure whether Tiannan will be more prosperous than Beihai in the future, but he must at least keep Tiannan in the middle and upper reaches of the Central Continent sequence.
"Of course, these are my preliminary plans at the moment. Detailed plans need to be carefully considered and reported to the palace master before a decision can be made."
Ma Si finally finished his long speech.
Li Huacheng listened carefully and laughed: "Very good, your attitude is very reassuring. You must have an idea of Tiannan's future direction. In this way, make a detailed plan first."
, when you come to Youzhou, the parliament will naturally express your opinion."
"Thank you, Speaker."
Ma Si's expression was extremely exciting, and he instinctively expressed his determination: "Don't worry, Tiannan's future will never let you down."
Tiannan's current foundation is indeed very poor and its development is not satisfactory, but this is caused by the overall environment of Annan.
Annan is a small country with no money, no one, no strength, and no technology, so it is natural for it to be backward.
But this does not mean that Tiannan is really not good.
In fact, if these things had not happened and Tiannan still belonged to Annan, Li Songping planned to turn the entire northern border into Annan's heavy industry base and resource reserve base.
Li Songping is indeed a figure. If he really does this and succeeds, Annan's economy will be revitalized just around the corner. But it is a pity that he made a big gamble and lost completely. All his ambitions were lost to Li Tianlan.
Time is also destiny, it is impossible not to accept destiny.
Now that Tiannan is in the hands of Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou has everything that Annan does not have, and Zhongzhou has everything that Annan wants.
This place is rich in resources, with a steady stream of funds from the Shengshi Fund, the deterrent power of the Eastern Palace, and various technologies that Central Continent can provide...
Working in Tiannan like this is completely equivalent to painting on white paper.
Great mountains and rivers can be spread freely.
Ma Si naturally has real talent and learning. If he was a mediocre person, he would not have been trained by Li Huacheng for many years. From his perspective, Tiannan is full of development opportunities. The more he studies,
The more confidence and confidence he has in his heart, the more abundant he is. He himself also looks forward to the fact that in ten or twenty years, Tiannan will become something else in his hands.
"Don't talk too much."
Li Huacheng smiled and said: "There is a long way to go, and this sentence is really suitable for Tian Nan now.
There are still many things you have to do in the future, Zhongzhou will give you a lot of resource support, and strive to make Tiannan align with Beihai, are you confident?"
Look towards the North Sea...
The smile on Ma Si's face froze for a moment.
"Discouraged?"
Li Huacheng's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes became stern.
"I try my best!"
Ma Si said loudly: "Please don't worry."
His voice was loud, but his lack of confidence was obvious.
Beihai and Tiannan are different after all, and they are hardly the same.
Today's Tiannan does have many conditions that surpass those of Beihai back then, but there is one thing that cannot be compared to it.
That's the location.
Tiannan is inland.
The North Sea is close to the sea everywhere.
Tongtian Port is now one of the largest ports in the north of Central Continent. In terms of resources, the resources in Beihai are only much greater than those in Tiannan. With the foundation accumulated by the Wang family in Beihai for hundreds of years, how can Tiannan equal it in a short time?
of?
Beihai's total economic output in Zhongzhou ranked fourth last year, second only to Wuyue, Nanyue and Dongshan. Currently, only Wuyue and Nanyue can steadily dominate Beihai. Even Dongshan has been surpassed frequently in the past ten years.
And Tiannan...
Ma Si’s biggest hope at present is to be ranked in the top 20 within ten years, and to be able to stabilize in the top 10 in the end is already very good.
"The reason why Tiannan is lagging behind is due to many reasons, among which Annan's reason is the main reason."
Li Huacheng said calmly: "But you have to know that Zhongzhou and Annan are different. If your heart is not big enough, your stage will naturally be smaller. You can't be dissatisfied, and you can't be satisfied too easily. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ma Si was silent.
Li Huacheng smiled and said: "Others can develop cities in the desert. No matter how bad it is in the south, it won't reach that point. What are you afraid of?"
Ma Si's body was obviously shaken.
He nodded slowly, as if to ensure something, and said slowly: "Please rest assured."
This time he said he was relieved, which was different from the previous times.
More solemn and more determined.
Li Huacheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "Then get ready. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."
He looked at Li Tianlan and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with Tianlan?"
"fine."
Li Tianlan said casually.
His eyes fell on Huangfu Qiushui.
Huangfu Qiushui was very attentive in watching the heat of the tea. Her upper body was slightly leaning forward and her big eyes were blinking. The picture was very seductive.
Ma Si nodded and silently hung up the communication.
"It's a bit overwhelming to have Tiannan align with Beihai."
When the call was hung up, Li Tianlan spoke bluntly.
Naturally, he also understood how huge the gap between Tiannan and Beihai was.
And even in Wang Yuetong's new city plan, there was no mention of letting Tiannan catch up with Beihai.
In terms of development opportunities, inland areas are worse than coastal areas. This is an objective fact and there is no point in denying it.
If Tiannan is allowed to surpass the original Beihai, there will be no problem. However, Li Tianlan does not have the ambition to allow the just-started Tiannan to surpass the current Beihai.
Even he had to admit that after hundreds of years of operation, the Beihai Wang family had indeed perfected all aspects of Beihai. The Shengshi Fund was indeed extremely wealthy and could spend a lot of money, but the three people in Beihai
The strength of large groups is not much worse than that of Shengshi Fund. Without a long development time, sufficient foundation and geographical advantages, it would be a bit false to talk about transcendence.
Moreover, what the Eastern Palace wants is not to let Tiannan surpass Beihai. This is meaningful, but not very significant.
Even if Tiannan is worse than Beihai, it does not mean that Donghuang Palace cannot surpass Beihai Wang Family.
This is what the Eastern Palace wants.
If the new dynasty in the dark world cannot even suppress the Beihai Wang family, what kind of dynasty is it?
"There is still a chance, although it is not very big, but what if it happens?"
Li Huacheng smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "The structure of Beihai Wang's executive officer system is very stable, and it will become more and more mature as time goes by.
Ma Si doesn't need to count on the position of executive officer, but putting him in the position of governor is definitely just right. He is capable, but he has been with me for many years and with me in front, it is inevitable that he will be a little slack sometimes.
.
So you have to put pressure, keep putting pressure, it won’t crush him, but it will arouse him to have greater fighting spirit.”
"Some of the advantages of the Eastern Palace are really incomparable to Beihai. At least, Tiannan will be very worry-free when it develops.
Zhongzhou's massive resource support and Shengshi Fund's continuous wealth support are already a treatment that many places dream of.
Once the Tiannan Treaty is signed this time, the Bloody Lords Regiment will probably disappear in a reasonable manner, such as a reasonable loss or something. In this way, the Tiannan Lords Regiment can be established, together with the Free Lords Regiment, or merged with it. From now on, this group will
It will become the biggest trump card of the Eastern Palace.
What about Beihai? Do you know how much effort Beihai put in to establish Beihai Juntuan?
From its establishment to the struggle for dominance, many things have not been lifted until now. Of course, if you are interested, you can take a look.
Not only that, there are also a lot of messy things. These problems do not exist for Tiannan now.
Without these constraints, if we focus on development, with the current momentum of the East Palace, if the dynasty can really succeed, there will actually be a lot of opportunities to overtake on the south curve that day. No matter what, there is no harm in giving it a try."
"When will I leave?"
Li Tianlan asked. It was already close to noon. If we set off at this time, we would arrive in Annan at about four o'clock in the afternoon. This is not too early if the special flight is not delayed.
"No hurries?"
Li Huacheng put down his tea cup: "Let's have dinner together later. After dinner, we'll leave. You go to Annan, which means signing. You've already done all the substantive things behind the scenes. You don't need to worry about the things on the scene.
.”
He thought for a while and continued: "But there still needs to be a speech. It's not a big problem. Someone has already prepared the relevant manuscripts. There were those in the Qing Dynasty. Ma Si will probably write one too. Then you can choose one.
If it’s pleasing to the eye, just recite it once and you’ll be done.”
Li Tianlan was silent for a moment.
His mood was a little strange: "Looking at it this way, I really feel relieved."
"In Tiannan, you have peace of mind because you have Xiaobai."
Li Huacheng said calmly: "In Zhongzhou, you can save your worries because of me. You can call me teacher. Before you leave the school, I will naturally prepare some things for you in advance."
Li Tianlan shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, the beep on his cell phone suddenly rang.
It's not just his cell phone.
Huangfu Qiushui's and Li Huacheng's.
All three people's cell phones rang.
Within the range of Li Tianlan's sword energy perception, almost everyone's mobile phones near the Hidden Dragon Sea started to vibrate.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly, took out his phone and glanced at it.
The phone continued to vibrate.
One push after another appeared on the phone screen without any warning.
Major search engines.
Various portals.
A series of APPs.
Different titles and the same content quickly occupied everyone's attention in the shortest time.
It's not just Li Tianlan at this moment.
Almost everyone in Zhongzhou has received the same message through different channels such as the Internet, TV, and radio.
Huangfu Qiushui took out his mobile phone and looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly.
She raised her little face and looked at Li Tianlan, her expression unusually sweet.
Li Huacheng also took out his cell phone, looked at it, and laughed: "This is the beginning. I can be sure that in the next few days, this news will become the biggest news in Central Continent, and it may even become the headlines all over the world."
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked at the notifications filling the screen of his mobile phone.
He is not addicted to mobile phones. If he doesn't have a phone on weekdays, he would rather sit in a daze than take out his mobile phone to watch short videos.
So his mobile phone is of high quality, but there are very few APPs.
But at this time, these poor APPs all sent push notifications to Li Tianlan.
"Tiannan will officially join Zhongzhou"
"Annan rarely bows his head, Central Continent will usher in new opportunities"
"The thirtieth province of Central Continent turns out to be..."
"Creating new territories, new era, new provinces"
"May Middle-earth be prosperous, hello, thirty"
A series of news bombarded Li Tianlan's eyes.
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth raised inexplicably. He didn't know why, but he just felt inexplicably happy.
"Are you a little impatient to go to Annan?"
Li Huacheng squinted his eyes and smiled gently.
"Not that much."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "However, I do have some expectations in my heart."
"No matter how much you look forward to it, you still have to eat."
Li Huacheng stood up with a smile: "From today on, your age will be ignored by everyone, but everyone will remember you. For Zhongzhou, you are the hero and the protagonist in the next few years."
He patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder and said in a serious tone: "Ever since the chaos in Snow Country ended, some people have been talking about a new era.
But only today, until now, do I really agree with this sentence.
