The conscience of heaven and earth, all the details of what happened to Lan Fang recently, Gu Kun really didn't know.

Just like Zhu Jingye wanted Qu Gang to torture and collect evidence at the beginning, it was indeed Zhu Jingye's hope to extract a confession, but it was definitely Qu Gang and Yu Weilie's temporary difficulty in riding a tiger that caused him to be heavy, which was really not Zhu Jingye's original intention.

When Gu Kun deliberately sold flaws and showed the enemy to be false, he also thought that Zhu Jingye would take advantage of the weakness to attack, and even let his subordinates suffer a little temporarily.

But some of his subordinates were so serious, which Gu Kun couldn't have imagined.

His original intention was to operate like the torture cases of those counter-indictators and evidence collectors, and at the same time secretly compensate his subordinates according to ten or twenty times the cost of the injured decoction.

Therefore, the temporary counterattack on the dock was indeed Long Wu's own sense of crisis, and he was enthusiastic, and learned that "his subordinates were, but it is absolutely impossible to make the other party pay for his life by going through legal procedures", so he immediately made this vote.

Of course, Long Wu believed that after he did this, the boss would not treat him badly.

Because if Qu Gang and Yu Weilie are allowed to get away with it, or if they are dismissed from their posts and squatted in the class room for a few years, then he will not want to lead the team under the boss in the future, and no one will obey him.

Long Wu would rather choose not to return to Lanfang for the rest of his life, drifting on a foreign ship, but also to establish the prestige of "I will stand out for my subordinates".

Of course, some people may wonder: Since in a country like Lanfang, which is a barbarian country, if something happens, you can flee overseas, wouldn't it have been completely messed up long ago? Isn't it possible to settle a slight grievance by force, and then smear oil on the soles of your feet and abandon your ancestral business and flee?

But in fact, it won't be that simple, because if Zhu Jingye's people were looking for revenge in private today, he would probably not be able to escape. Zhu Jingye is just a local overlord of the contractors, he does not have an ocean-going sea vessel at hand, and he does not master the way to go abroad.

And if Sawuyang's people do this, it will be much easier. Even if Long Wu fled in a small boat, he jumped halfway and escaped on a foreign trade ship of the Sa family, and the people who believed in Sa Wuyang would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. (If it was Zhu Jingye's people who escaped to Sawuyang's ship, they would definitely be "twisted" in minutes)

In addition, as mentioned earlier, the Lan side also had a coast guard about the size of a company in the hands of the Grand Duke's confidants, equipped with two gunboats and several patrol boats.

The relationship between the Coast Guard and Sa Wuyang is better, and the relationship with Zhu Jingye is worse, but in general, it is relatively fair, and they are only loyal to the Grand Duke himself, which ensures that the incident of "fleeing overseas after committing a crime" will not happen often.

These are just speculations and reasoning, and do not mean that these things will actually happen.

......

On the other side, Zhu Jingye and Sa Wuyang were both summoned to the Duke's Palace.

The Duke's Palace is the most luxurious complex on Ranfang Island, consisting of seven or eight buildings, imitating the system of the Ryukyu Royal Palace, all of which are traditional Chinese palace buildings, most of which have only one floor, with palace walls and gardens covering a total area of sixty or seventy acres.

The reason why it is necessary to imitate the Ryukyu royal palace is also because of the fear of overstepping the system. Because the canonization level of Grand Duke Lan Fang since ancient times is only equivalent to a county king at most, the mansion can't be too awesome.

More than ten years ago, when Lanfang became independent, there were still Ming-style palaces in the world that could be used for reference, namely Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul and Shurijo Castle in Okinawa.

Gyeongbokgung Palace is at the level of the Prince's Palace, which is too excessive, and the key Lan Fang does not have so much money, so after going abroad for an inspection, he imitated one according to Shuri Castle.

For this mansion, hundreds of millions of royal property have also been spent over the years, accounting for nearly half of the royal family's income.

Zhu Jingye and Sa Wuyang were quickly led by the guards to the main hall of the Duke's Palace, the Ideological and Political Hall, to wait.

It is a building with heavy eaves resting on the top of the mountain. (The highest use of the palace is to the top of the mountain, the eaves are weighted, and the top of the palace is not daring to be used, which is used by the emperor.) The Taihe Hall is the top of the heavy eaves palace. Both Gyeongbokgung Palace and the main hall of Shuri Castle dare to rest on the top of the mountain with heavy eaves. ）

After a while, an old man in his early sixties walked gracefully to the gold-filled chair in the middle of the hall and sat down, and gave Sa Wuyang and Zhu Jingye exemptions.

It's just a waiver, not a kneeling, because it's already a modern country, so you don't have to kneel, just bow a little when you see the monarch.

This old man, of course, is the current Grand Duke Zhu Youdong.

He was able to restore the country under the colonization of the Brittany, and he naturally had two brushes on his wrist, so he was more diligent in his work, and his observation was still keen, and he was not easily deceived by others.

The name Zhu Youdong is obviously because his family has always beaten snakes with sticks, so after being given the surname of the country by Emperor Yongli three hundred years ago, he took advantage of the situation to climb and attach to it.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's descendant of the Yan family that year, "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Cihe Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou", to the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang (Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is also from) when the Ming Dynasty fell, and only the 10th word "by" was used, and it took 300 years.

Therefore, it took another 300 years for Lan Fang to use up the last ten words, and Zhu Youdong's generation just used the 20th "You". As for how Zhu Youdong's descendants will choose names in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect it to be so far back then, so he just let it go.

And the third character in his name is also taken according to the five elements of "fire, earth, gold, water and wood". His generation is 10 generations behind Emperor Yongli, so it happens to be two five-element cycles, and the side of his name is the same as the school, inspection, and hammer.

As for the daughter, she doesn't have to follow the character generation, but she also has to follow the side rules, so Zhu Youdong's name as the little county lord is next to the word fire.

Before coming, Zhu Youdong had already understood the situation a little, but at this moment, he still had to give Zhu Jingye and Sa Wuyang the opportunity to make their own statements.

The two of them talked about the latest developments outside, and they must have taken credit in their rhetoric and attributed the responsibility to each other.

After listening quietly, Zhu Youdong said without anger and self-authority:

"Jingye, this disaster, in the final analysis, you caused it first! You don't want my Lan side to be involved in the choice of sides by foreign forces, I understand this, but you actually caused the lives of foreigners, I don't punish you heavily, how can I calm down the incident!"

The employee of Blackwater Security, although he is an employee of Gu Kun, is still a foreign worker. Zhu Jingye can catch the other party's suspicion of foreign spies, so of course he can take advantage of it, if he doesn't catch it, just wait for the backlash.

Zhu Jingye couldn't help but cry out: "Now it's our people who have also died! And this matter really has nothing to do with me, uncle, you have to be clear, it's Qu Gang who is rude in his own affairs." ”

Zhu Youdong waved his hand categorically: "Justice is justice, and international relations are international relations! In justice, you can clear up, but we have to give an explanation to foreign investors." As for Qu Gang being sought revenge, that is another matter, it is a grievance between the Lan people and the Lan people, and it is an ordinary criminal issue. ”

Sa Wuyang listened to it on the side, snickering slightly, but asked with a worried expression on his face: "The top priority now is to suppress the matter first, and I don't know how to deal with it?"

Zhu Youdong thought for a while and instructed Sa Wuyang: "You go and tell the person in charge of COSCO that we, Lanfang, will further liberalize the access of private capital in the field of infrastructure investment in the future." As for foreign investment, it depends on the cooperation model between him and specific private capital, and it will not be directly opened for the time being.

In the future, those infrastructure projects that cannot be commercially operated will still have to be fully led by relevant departments, planned and reviewed. As for infrastructure that can be operated commercially, such as toll roads and bridges, and hydropower projects, it can be changed from 'approval' to 'filing', and the premise is that 100% of the infrastructure can be raised without state-owned funds, and all private capital is self-raised, including private capital raising foreign capital. ”

Zhu Youdong believes that such concessions should calm the emotions of Huaxia investors.

His remarks are more theoretical, and translated in human terms, that is, in the future, the unprofitable infrastructure of urban roads, urban appearance and municipal administration will still need official approval and official funding.

However, commercial ports, airports, highways, sea-crossing bridges that collect tolls, power plants, waterworks, telecommunications, and mobile infrastructure projects that can be recouped through operation have all been changed from "approval" to "filing".

If you feel that you have money to make, you can make joint ventures with your own private enterprises, or invest and operate them by injecting capital into the shells of your own private enterprises.

Of course, the strictness of filing is much looser than that of approval, which is a very good thing for foreign capital.

In addition, the reason why Zhu Youdong only liberalizes private capital and does not directly liberalize foreign capital is actually for the good of foreign investment, and I believe that Huaxia and COSCO can appreciate Zhu Youdong's painstaking efforts and goodwill.

Because after the policy directly opens up foreign capital, then all foreign capital must be treated equally, Huaxia capital can come, and Brittan capital can also come.

As soon as the threshold of "foreign capital must borrow the shell of private capital" is set, it will depend on who Gu Kun, Sa Wuyang, and Zhu Jingye are willing to cooperate with. If Gu Kunsa Wuyang hated the Bretons and did not give the Bretons a chance, then the Breton Company would not be able to enter.

This is a firewall of "private capital can choose which countries are friendly to foreign investment".

COSCO estimates that it would like Zhu Youdong to do this.

Zhu Jingye is like falling into an ice cave: in this way, the authority in his hands has been directly cut by nearly half!

From now on, it is estimated that he can only monopolize the operation of urban roads and residential real estate, and other engineering markets will be eroded by Sa Wuyang and the foreign capital behind Sa Wuyang!

Unless, he, Zhu Jingye, also colludes with foreigners.

But COSCO will definitely not cooperate with him.

Unless he goes and colludes with the Bretanians.

But he thought to himself that he was still a "clan", how could he be embarrassed to collude with the former colonists like a traitor like Chen Mingcheng?

He also knew that the Bretons hated the Bretons the most, after all, the three of his children died at the hands of the Bretons. Even if Zhu Jingye puts down his old face and colludes with the Bretons, he can't let his cousin know, otherwise he will definitely have no inheritance in the future.

"Dedication, you go back and reflect first, and let the relevant departments do other things!"

Zhu Jingye was still hesitating, but Zhu Youdong told him to step down.

Zhu Jingye's expression was uncertain and he retreated.

After seeing his cousin leave, Zhu Youdong asked his brother-in-law: "When will that Gu Kun come back? Do you think he is reliable? You and I have children who died at the hands of the Brittany, and you have always known my attitude:

I'm not actually against being pro-China. What I oppose is that when the situation is still unclear, I rashly and high-profile defection to a country that is not capable of serving as an umbrella for us, which will bring disaster to the Lan side. We're too weak to offend anyone. ”

Sa Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said good things for Gu Kun: "Although Gu Kun is also pro-China, he is definitely measured, he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits, he won't stammer when he encounters a small role, he is definitely good at protecting the interests of our Lan Fang, and he won't cause trouble." ”

Zhu Youdong nodded and ordered: "Then when he comes back from taking the gold medal from Yueben, you will say that you will use this excuse to invite him here to the banquet, just say that he has won glory for the country, and I will receive the award, and I will talk to him personally when the time comes." Wu Yang, you are also in your forties, and we should discover the talents of the younger generation of Lanfang. ”
