Chapter 489: The bridge sticks out of Eurasia

Li Guangzu is the largest family in Singapore, his father Li Xiong is a contemporary resident, and his second uncle Li Ba is the commander of the city defense, and in the area where the Li family has the greatest influence - the economy, he controls 60% of the entire Xinjia.

In terms of employment, the total number of employees employed by the Li family accounts for 80 percent of the total employment.

Therefore, even during the colonial period, the Li family was the backbone of this political system and could not be relied upon.

However, due to various reasons, the Li family rarely actively participated in the political and military fields, let alone played a leading role.

And Li Guangzu's concept can be said to be a change in the tradition of the Li family, and the ideals he expressed to Mai Ke should also be what the Li family is looking for now.

Of course, Mai Ke will not purely serve these families, even if they are descendants of overseas Chinese and Han people, because he only seeks the benefits of the kingdom of heaven, whether it is his crossing or everything after the crossing.

Therefore, there is only one premise that the big families can cooperate with Mai Ke, that is, their family goals are subordinated to the goals of the heavenly kingdom.

Therefore, after taking over the colonial authorities in Singapore, the first thing Mai Ke did was to visit the head of the Li family to see to what extent he could cooperate with the Li family to achieve a win-win situation.

Knowing that Mai Ke was coming, the Li family opened the middle door, and the head of the family, Li Xiong, led the male members of the family to come to the gate to greet him at a higher price, which was already a demotion that the Li family had not used for a long time.

Even if Charleson came to the door, he only opened the middle door and greeted him at the door of the middle hall.

Mai Ke doesn't care about these things, as long as it's good for the cause of heaven. He just drilled into the hole in the ground, and he was willing to eat it, but the Li family was particular about people, and showed enough respect and grand welcome to Mai Ke.

Mai Ke went straight to the point, first thanking the Li family for their help, and then asking the Li family to continue to support the maintenance of Singapore's stability and ensuring that it made a unique contribution to the great cause of the kingdom of heaven.

As for what position the Kingdom of Heaven gives to the Li family, it depends on what the Li family has in this effort, that is, to what extent this demand is consistent with the goals of the Kingdom of Heaven.

For example, if the goal of the Li family's appeal is 100% in line with the goal of the Kingdom of Heaven, then what the Li family does is the business of the Kingdom of Heaven. So. The highest position and full support will be provided to the Li family.

Mai Ke frankly told Li Xiong that the Kingdom of Heaven generally does not allow things that are inconsistent with the goals of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the main reason is that even if these territories are all extended by the Kingdom of Heaven, if there is any difference in the goals pursued. It will have a proportional impact on the realization of the goals of the kingdom of heaven.

But considering the contribution of the Li family. The Li family's business and industry can be temporarily allowed. There is a certain degree of inconsistency, which is one city, two systems.

This inconsistent part consists of two parts. Some of them are under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Heaven. Under the condition that the general principle does not contradict the interests of the Kingdom of Heaven, it can be used for the purposes of the Li family, and the other part of it can be taken outside the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Heaven and can be operated in the same way.

As always, Mai Ke explained that the expeditionary force came here for the purpose of the kingdom of heaven, and that everything done here was for the same purpose, and there was no personal interest, no national interest.

And the most basic purpose of the kingdom of heaven is to glorify God!

Finally, Mai Ke also introduced the scope of the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, and also informed him of his intention to build a town in Xinjiaji.

Li Xiong listened to the introduction, and while he was shocked by the scale of the kingdom of heaven, he also felt lucky to be involved in such a thing, at least he had the opportunity to think, so as to make a decision on whether to participate further, and to what extent.

He was particularly interested in the fruits of the four seasons and the river of life, and he also checked once to see if it would be equipped with all the things that the holy city would have after the town was built.

Li Ba and Li Guangzu also raised some questions respectively, and Mai Ke answered them one by one, while seizing the opportunity to further promote the benefits of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Li Xiong asked to leave for a while, and he wanted to discuss it with Li Ba and Guangzu before making a decision.

Ten minutes later, the three of them came back and said that their decision was that the Li family should be divided into two parts, the main part still in Xinjia, and the secondary part in the Li family's inheritance outside the heavenly kingdom.

Those who remained in Singapore went all out to participate in the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven, all for the purpose of the Kingdom of Heaven, and this part was in charge of Li Ba and Guangzu, and Guangzu officially took over as the patriarch.

Those who are not within the realm of heaven only operate and develop in areas outside the realm of heaven, and have no connection with the part of heaven.

Only when the Li family decided that all the Li family's manpower and material resources would be returned to the Kingdom of Heaven that further consideration would be given to reuniting them.

Outside the kingdom of heaven, the current patriarch is in charge, and after the patriarch is handed over to the new patriarch, Li Xiong is still in charge.

Not to mention, Mai Ke really didn't think that this method could be used, it seems that Huahan people are smart.

This is certainly possible, but certainly not for Christians, but only for non-Christian citizens of the kingdom.

Since the Li family was not yet Christian, Mai Ke agreed.

Then the Li family proposed, Mai Ke agreed, and Li Guangzu was the first mayor of the town, and Li Ba was the minister of arms. Lee's younger generations can be used to enrich various functional departments.

Soon Mai Ke will send a Minister of Propaganda and Education to be responsible for spreading the gospel and counseling all the townspeople in the faith.

As for the original officials, Mai Ke decided to give Charleson a position of deputy mayor in charge of foreign affairs, especially in Europe and the United States.

After deciding these important matters, Mai Ke immediately led Li Guangzu and Li Ba to the original colonial army camp, and found that Charleson was still there to stick to his post, which was also ordered by Mai Ke.

Mai Ke told him what he thought, and asked him if he would like to serve as the deputy mayor of the reorganized Holy Town here.

Charleson has been nervous for the past two days, wondering what he will do with him. In his case, others want to go back to the UK as soon as possible.

But he really didn't want to go back, he felt that this place was much better than the foggy London all day! In order to stay here, let alone give him an official position, even if he didn't give him anything, he couldn't ask for it!

Therefore, as soon as he heard Mai Ke's request, he immediately agreed and jumped up happily like a child!

So Mai Ke closed the door and held the first town meeting for the four of them.

"Now, I have handed over to the three of you this city of great importance! If you know the geography of Lun Dao, you will know that Johor Bahru, opposite Lun Dao Sinka, is the southernmost point of Eurasia, and this is the first island to leave Eurasia.

"In a military sense, Singapore is a springboard for attacking Eurasia, starting from here, and it takes more than a kilometer to reach the mainland. Therefore, defending Singapore well undoubtedly provides a layer of protection for the Eurasian continent!

"That's the first reason why we want to seize Singapore. (To be continued......)
