Chapter 1315: The Han Flag World (5) Auction (I)
A day ago, the guards here were taken over by the guard regiment in charge of the security work of the Young Guards, and the National Security Bureau also sent a large number of people to clear the Xianyun Tower and conduct a carpet inspection to ensure the safety of the royal family and the big people attending the banquet.
The rapid development of the times, for the security work of the guard regiment, the form is also more severe, Jicheng is now the largest open city in the whole continent, when it becomes the political and economic center of the whole continent, it has also become a place where Qin and Chu spies gather, although the National Security Bureau goes all out, but to fight a batch, to a batch, there is no way to ban it from the root, with the development of gunpowder weapons, now the assassination is more convenient, like this dinner, if someone is hidden, a grenade is enough to cause amazing damage.
According to intelligence, although Qin Chu lagged far behind the Han in the application of gunpowder, they had also created a throwing weapon similar to a grenade, which was not small.
After the dinner was confirmed to be set up in Xianyun Tower, the National Security Bureau had arrested dozens of suspects in a row in just a few days, or for Qin Chu, if Gao Yuan could be killed, then the situation in the world might be able to change for a while, and what they paid was just some hidden spies, the cost was small, but the harvest was likely to be big.
Xianyunlou is now the largest catering and leisure group in Dahan, which also played an important role in the rise of Gaoyuan, and played a huge role in capital and intelligence. And the first boss of Jicheng Xianyun Building is Zhang Yi, who is now the deputy director of the National Security Bureau.
With the expansion of the Han Dynasty, the scale of Xianyunlou has also become larger and larger, and it has expanded to almost all influential and economically powerful large cities with the footsteps of the Han army. Of course, his shareholding structure is becoming more and more complex, and of course, the largest shareholder is still the original Wu family, and then the royal family.
In the Xianyun Building, the largest Langya Pavilion is the place where this dinner was held. As night fell, the front gate of Xianyunlou began to be lively, one after another carriages came one after another, one after another enough to call the wind and rain in the big man, got down from the carriage in high spirits, and walked into the gate of Xianyunlou.
In the Langya Pavilion, dozens of lamps specially made by Mingbo Company are hung on the roof, and the whole pavilion is as bright as day, and the guests who come in are all amazed. This technology has just been developed, and it has not been able to be mass-produced, and until now, it has only been applied in very few places, and even the royal palace has not yet been equipped with this kind of lamps made by using the refraction and reflection magnification of glass.
More than 20 round tables have already been set up in the pavilion, and the names of the chairs are pasted one by one, and the people who enter the Langya Pavilion have already been pasted on the chairs. Under the guidance of the maid, it is easy to find your seat. All of a sudden, the cabinet was full of people, everyone was basically acquaintances, even if they didn't know each other, it was a long-term reputation, and everyone was busy. It's rare to get together today, so it's natural to take the opportunity to make friends, and maybe when they can cooperate.
At this time, in the Tingsong Pavilion near Langya Pavilion, Gao Yuan was looking through the list of people who went to the banquet this time.
"Stones. Liaoxi, Langya, Tianhe, Yuyang, Hejian, Cangzhou, basically there are still the vast majority of people in these places, and there are still too few people in other places!" Gao Yuan put down the list and turned to Mei Pudao.
"Yes, the king, whether it is the former Han land, Wei land, or Qilu, after all, the time to belong to my Han is still short, and there are still too few merchants among them who can compete with the influence of these places, this time according to the king's orders, we only look at financial resources, not others." Mei Pu replied.
The Mei family is the fastest rising family after the founding of the Han Dynasty, Mei Yipo is the president of the central bank, not to mention the power, the younger brother Mei Hua is a strong general in the Young Guards, and he is deeply appreciated, and the Mei family business led by Mei Pu Meisu has also developed in a blowout in these years, and has already become one of the top businessmen in the Han Dynasty. And Mei Pu left Mei's business and became the helmsman of the royal family's business, which enhanced the Mei family's status in the Han Dynasty. Supporting the rise of emerging forces is naturally also intentional and ambitious.
"This shows that the commercial development potential of our Dahan is endless." Patting this catalog, Gao Yuan nodded and said: "The former Wei land, the Han land, and the Qi land are all densely populated areas, and these places will be the focus of our development in the future. ”
"The king is right, but after all, it will take time, we can inject funds, but the concept can not be changed overnight, most of the officials in these places are still the old officials in the past, and it is not easy to change their concepts." Yan Shenghao on the side explained.
"The key is the guidance of officials, like Yingshui, where it used to be poor enough, and it was still the front line, but with a Fang Shu, it has become one of the richest areas in our Han now, and it has set a number of firsts in our Han, like the allowance for the elderly over sixty years old, even I didn't expect it." Gao Yuan said to Yan Shenghao: "Therefore, on the basis of the conceptual guidance of officials, the political affairs hall still needs to make more efforts, especially in the universities that train reserve officials for us, and it is even more necessary to strengthen ideological transformation." ”
"The new generation of graduates, and the past is very different, Wechen has been discussing with Minister Huo of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, next year's Jicheng University enrollment will be biased towards these areas, increase the proportion of admission in these areas, in the future these people will return to the local area after graduation, which will effectively change the status quo of these places." When Yan Shenghao said this, he suddenly laughed: "Lao Huo made a fortune this time, and he originally planned to build a branch of Jicheng Comprehensive University in Lu County, but now it seems to be in vain. ”
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan also laughed, "You also know Wang Wuyan's temperament, but from his point of view, there is nothing wrong, this money should have been included in the treasury, because the things auctioned by the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda this time are all assets of the state." Lao Yan, have you ever thought about allowing private capital to enter the industry of running universities? These people out there have money! ”
Yan Shenghao was slightly stunned, "King, now our two universities in the Han Dynasty, Jishicheng Military University, needless to say, this is dedicated to training military officials, and the graduates cultivated by Jicheng Comprehensive University now are basically directly assigned to various places as officials, if these private capital are allowed to run universities, then these graduates are also very likely to enter the officialdom and official positions in the future, this is a weapon for the imperial court to control the world, Weichen feels that it is really not suitable to let it out." ”
Gao Yuan shook his head, "We now have a huge shortage of qualified officials, and we have to use a large number of officials from the old era, right, hindering local development, it is the uncivilized brains of these officials, private capital runs universities, is it also that kind of person who teaches them, don't worry about this, running a university requires money, relying on the government alone is far from enough, Huo Xiaolin wants to set up a university in every county, this idea is good, rich counties, can be run by government, and those who don't have money can figure out their own way." ”
"This, I'll discuss it with Lao Huo after I go down, my lord, this matter is not urgent, you must be cautious." Yan Shenghao said.
"Well, I'm just proposing a proposal, you are the ruling chief, so naturally you have the idea of governing, so I won't say more." Gao Yuan nodded.
At this time, Mei Pu walked over, "King, the Langya Pavilion is ready." ”
"Okay, let's get over here." Gao Yuan stood up with a smile and greeted the people who were eating snacks and drinking tea on the other side. "Jing'er, Yanzi, Xin'er, let's go."
In the Langya Pavilion, with the shout of the king's arrival, the noisy Langya Pavilion was quiet in an instant, and the people who were talking to each other returned to each other as quickly as possible, and turned to the gate of the Langya Pavilion in unison.
The first step in was Gao Yuan's guard commander He Weiyuan, behind him, Gao Yuan strode in, next to Gao Yuan, it was the initiator of this charity dinner, the three princesses, and then Yan Shenghao, the ruling chief of the current Han Dynasty.
"I've seen the king, the princess!" Two hundred people bowed in unison.
"That's it, you are all my guests today, so you don't need to be polite." Gao Yuan laughed and looked at the rich people in the audience one by one, "Among the guests who came today, many of them are my old acquaintances, and there are also many people I don't know and haven't seen Yang yet, Yan Shoufu, what does this mean?" ”
Yan Shenghao took a step forward and said with a smile: "This shows that our big man is getting richer and richer. ”
"Yes, our big man is getting richer and richer." Gao Yuan nodded, walked to the platform set up in advance, and looked at everyone: "Our Han is rich and strong, but not every Han is rich and has a worry-free life?" ”
Everyone looked up at the legendary king, especially those who were lucky enough to see him for the first time, and their eyes flashed with excitement.
"No, it's not. Some time ago, the princess went out for a trip for charity, and came back to tell me that even where the sun shines, there are shadows that cannot be illuminated, and she sees things that we do not usually see, and these things will never appear on the recitals given to me by the courtiers. Gao Yuan's expression was a little solemn, "Of course, I'm not blaming these magistrates or courtiers, after all, the power of people is limited, and the power of the government is also limited, what we can do is to make the vast majority of people live better, so what about the rest of the people in special circumstances, let it go?" That's definitely not going to work, so these people who are in some special situations need some other power to help them, what is this power, he is charity, who is doing charity? It's you, it's me, it's us who got rich first, those who eat and drink without worry, and those who have money in their hands. (To be continued......)
