Chapter 1 Three-Year Agreement

There is a stone in Yuyan, which looks very strange. It is named "Mountain Ghost" after "Nine Songs".

Ask when did this mountain come here? The west wind and setting sun are silent. You look like the emperor Xi, and you are named Taichu. The road on the stream is only the ancient time before the red dust. Who will raise a cup? Laughing at me drunkenly calling you, Cuiwei has not risen, and the mountain bird has overturned the cup and left.

Remember, last night there was a storm in Longqiu, and the stone waves in front of the door danced. At four o'clock, the mountain ghost blew the lamp and howled, startling the children of the world. As promised, he asked me, Qingyou cane Gong good trouble. I promised to take you thousands of miles, whip the phoenix, and recite my travel poem.

Time flies, and time has come to the forty-fifth year of Jiushi.

In the past two years, the general situation in the world has tended to be stable. Even the situation of Taoism is the same.

After the battle in Fenglin Island and the personnel changes in Borneo, the disputes among the three provinces seemed to have died down. However, those in the situation knew that it was not that the three provinces had changed their nature, but that they were accumulating strength and integrating their internal forces, just like the calm before the storm.

In the past two years, the situation in the provincial government of Borneo has stabilized, and the shocks caused by Wang Jiaohe, Chen Shuhua and others have been gradually smoothed out.

The day before yesterday was the day when the second shareholders' meeting of Nanyang United Trade Company was successfully closed.

Chen Shuwen was successfully re-elected as the chief of the board of directors of Nanyang United Trade Company with a high vote, which also means that he has been recognized by Chief Qi, who actually controls Nanyang United Trade Company.

Chief Chen and Chief Qi once had a three-year agreement, from Jiushi 43 to Jiushi 45. Although it is less than three years, it has entered the third year.

Overall, Chen Shuwen's reform has achieved remarkable results. With the support of grassroots members, a large number of middle-level personnel have been replaced.

Under the leadership of Chen Shuwen, the Nanyang United Trade Company regained its vitality. The most direct manifestation is that the fiscal revenue of the Borneo Prefecture has not only stabilized, but also increased.

The Dao Sect suffered a certain fiscal deficit due to two consecutive major wars, especially the Fenglinzhou War, which was entirely supported by the Jiangnan Prefecture. The Jiangnan Prefecture has been emptied. The Kunlun Prefecture has to build a Taoist temple, and all of them rely on the Lingnan Prefecture and the Borneo Prefecture.

Lingnan Prefecture is easy to deal with, but the Borneo Prefecture has just experienced a turmoil, which is more challenging for the successor of the prefecture. Now that the finances of the Borneo Prefecture have stabilized, the finances of the Dao Sect have also stabilized.

Jinque is very satisfied. Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy prefecture master, is naturally stable, so Chen Shuwen, who was supported by Qi Xuansu, is also stable.

In the past two years, Qi Xuansu and Yao Shu have not had any conflicts, and they are generally harmonious. Anyway, there is still a great master above. Master Lan has learned from the last lesson. Although he still cannot compare with the diligent master Jiang, he will not be the same as before.

In general, the master, the chief deputy master, and the second deputy master each perform their duties and do not interfere with each other.

The two wars in the Eastern world came to an end, the smoke cleared, and the war broke out again in the West.

It is probably because Westerners always stare at other people's homes and ignore their own homes. When they came to their senses, the war had already started.

As early as the 42nd year of Jiu Shi, the Kingdom of Rune had officially intervened in the struggle between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Ibia. In order to compete for the dominant position in West Borneo, the three parties fought increasingly fiercely, and even affected parts of East Borneo and South Borneo.

Although the war did not break out directly at that time due to the intervention of the Holy Court, the contradiction would not disappear, but become deeper with the accumulation of time. The fundamental reason for this is that the Kingdom of Rune gradually rose and began to seek greater overseas space, and the Austrian Parliament behind it began to seize the right to speak under the framework of the Holy Court.

Today, the Holy Court finally couldn't hold it back, and a war broke out between the three parties that affected the entire West Posa Continent.

In this way, the Holy Court had no time to stir up trouble in the Nanyang region, bringing a long-lost peace to the Nanyang region.

However, a large number of refugees fled from the West Posa Continent and poured into the Nanyang region. The Taoist sect and the Great Xuan court successively issued orders to block the refugee tide in the Nanyang region and not allow them to enter the Central Plains.

The dynasties of the Central Plains in the past eventually perished due to the contradiction between people and land. Even if the current Great Xuan Dynasty temporarily gets rid of this rule, it does not mean that there are few people in the Central Plains, let alone a lot of land in the Central Plains.

There is no shortage of people in the Central Plains, and even immigration to the Nanyang region is required. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor does not want to see the contradiction between outsiders and locals in the Central Plains, which has been stable for two hundred years, so after discussing with the rotating Great Immortal, he issued this order.

A ferry spewing white smoke was heading for Lion City.

Chen Jianchou and Han Yongfeng leaned on the railing and looked out. Chen Jianchou held up the "Thousand-mile Scope" and looked at a large sailing ship in the distance. In the circular telescope, he could see that the ship was full of refugees with their families.

Han Yongfeng, who was standing next to Chen Jianchou, said slowly: "Since the war between Rune, the Netherlands and Ibia, more than 300,000 refugees have poured into Borneo, of which 100,000 are heading for Lion City. The Nanting Protectorate has ordered martial law and requires a special pass to enter the city. A refugee camp has been established outside Lion City, and a large number of refugees are coming. But we are considered good here, after all, we are separated by the sea. The land on the East Posuo Continent is connected, and the situation is more complicated. It is said that more than 500,000 refugees have poured into it, causing great impact and damage."

Chen Jianchou put down the telescope, looked at Han Yongfeng, and said nothing.

Han Yongfeng ordered: "Raise the Daofu flag and go directly to the military port of the Nanting Protectorate."

A spiritual officer took the order and left.

Chen Jianqiu said: "Mr. Han, these refugees are not easy to deal with. They are a mixed bag of good and bad, good and bad."

"This is inevitable." Han Yongfeng sighed, "The Taoist government also has a headache. In the discussion a few days ago, the master in charge repeatedly emphasized that we should pay attention to distinction and screening, but how can we take care of so many people? Nanting Du There is no other way to implement martial law in the government."

"It just so happened that there was another typhoon disaster this year. In a normal year, we would have to be prepared for a typhoon disaster. Now with the war, it is even worse. This time the typhoon passed through and many people died. After the disaster, there was a major epidemic. It is difficult to , difficult, difficult.”

Chen Jianqiu put away the telescope and said: "The situation is so bad, but the data reported are all false."

Han Yongfeng smiled: "All the deputy palace masters reported a series of numbers to the Taoist government. In fact, everyone knows that these numbers are all fake. It should be said that none of them are true. It's not that they deliberately concealed it, but In this case, no one knows what the real number is, and it can even be said that no one in the entire continent knows.”

"Let's just talk about the death toll. It's actually just a rough estimate. You refer to mine, and I refer to yours. They are pretty much the same. For example, in Lion City and Shenglong Palace, one hundred people died in Lion City. But they found out that the number of people reported by Shenglong Palace was fifty. Although Lion City was more severely affected due to its geographical location, they could not report the actual number completely. If the number of people reported was one hundred, the Taoist government would compare the two. I think Lion City has not done its job well, so Lion City will halve the number and report 50 people.”

"With the example set by Lion City and Thang Long Province, other places also have reference targets. For example, some places were less severely affected. There is no reason for more people to die than Lion City, so we based on the number of people reported by Lion City. The final result of halving the report is a layer-by-layer reduction.”

"That's all. After the report is reported to the Taoist government, the Taoist government will also have such considerations. The number is too large, and the Taoist government will not look good. Maybe they will have to make another cut on this already reduced number. The final result , may be half of the actual number, or even less. In addition, the statistical capabilities of various places must be taken into account, and there may be omissions. The numbers obtained by trimming the omitted numbers will naturally be false.”

"On the other hand, the number of losses must be reported to many places, because after a major disaster, the government has to provide disaster relief. Whether it is direct funding, aid supplies, meals or sharing the pot, who has suffered greater losses? The more you pay, the more money you get. To put it bluntly, no matter whether it hurts or not, cry twice first, and the child who can cry will get milk. "

Chen Jianchou sighed: "That's why the chief sent me down to understand the situation. I traveled around various places, and everything I saw was chaos. I really don't know how to report to the chief."

Han Yongfeng said: "Don't think too much, just report how you want. We can't blame us for this kind of thing. First, it's because of natural disasters and God's unfaithfulness. Second, it's because of man-made disasters and Western wars, which caused a large number of refugees to be displaced. How can we Helping them is worth it, and there is no need to blame yourself if you can't help them. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of love to help them, but it is a duty not to help them. If they want to turn into evil ghosts and seek their lives, they should go find those who are the instigators. Can’t find it on our heads.”

In the blink of an eye, the ferry has sailed into the military port of the Nanting Protectorate. There is no chaotic scene with a large number of refugees pouring in, and it is still orderly.

Chen Jianqiu and Han Yongfeng stepped off the ferry and headed to the Lion City through an important road guarded by men in black.

Now Qi Xuansu is in Lion City, paying attention to the shareholders' meeting of Nanyang United Trading Company and a large business order.

The wars in Rune, Iberia, and the Netherlands did not affect commerce. On the contrary, due to the escalation of the war and the shortage of materials, trade in the Southeast Asian region was promoted. Therefore, while the war was raging, the other side was making a lot of money. Not only Only Nanyang United Trading Company and Shibotang are the big ones, and Qi Xuansu's recent energy is mainly focused on this.

There are rumors recently that Qi Xuansu will be transferred to Yujing as the chief deputy head of the Nine Halls after his three-year term due to his outstanding achievements. Although the two are on the same level in terms of grade, everyone knows that This is actually a high promotion, which is almost the last step to be promoted to the real person in charge. It also paves the way for becoming the real person in charge in the future.

In the same way, the status and real power of the real person in charge of the palace is higher than that of the real person in charge of the palace. Most people who are secretaries take the route of the real person in charge of the palace, but Qi Xuansu obviously takes the route of the real person in charge of the palace.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu must stand on the last duty without making any mistakes.
