In this way, while eating and drinking, the group chatted and chatted, from the reform of the tax-sharing system to the finances of governments at all levels, from the investment in transportation construction to scientific research funds, until the middle of the moon, and the group staggered away, which really lost the image of the middle and high-ranking cadres of the state.

After the day's meeting, Huang Hanhua basically had nothing to do, so he left the Milin Lake Sanatorium the next day and took the train south to the capital, Dongfang Port. Here, he dealt with the backlog of affairs, assigned some tasks to the handlers, and then boarded the ship non-stop and headed to his next destination, the Silver Harbor on the Pampa Plains.

On 8 June 1680, Wong Hon Wah and his entourage arrived at Silver Harbor on a ship of the Courier Liner Company. Ten months have passed since Father Ramos' assassination, and there is still a faint hint of hostility between the two sides in this strange city on the east coast and with its Spanish inhabitants. This kind of hostility is very subtle, but it is real, and Huang Hanhua felt it as soon as he landed.

To be honest, there aren't too many Spaniards living here, at least businessmen, aristocrats, and so on. Those who remained were only Spanish immigrants or mercenaries who had earned their jobs. These people, who have nothing but wheat fields, orchards, pastures around Silver Harbor, and that's almost all of their possessions, so where do you let them go? Where do you want them to go?

It would be impossible to say that they were not afraid, and the ferocity of the pagans on the East Coast was well known. But this is almost all of everyone's property, and it is worth fighting for their lives, enough to overwhelm many fears, so they don't leave. Of course, another important reason why the Spaniards did not leave was that the number of people on the East Coast had a good reputation for decades: they did not kill people at will, they did not rob at will, and they would pay a price for those who owned too much land (although this price was considered too low by many), and in short, they would not rob your personal property for nothing. So, these Spaniards are waiting, waiting for the clarity of the situation. Even if Mar del Plata were ceded to the East Coasters in the end, they wouldn't have nothing, would they? Although this civilization of the East Coast people does not reverse their hatred.

It was under such circumstances that Huang Hanhua entered the city. He felt a little sorry for the Spaniards, because in a few days they would gradually understand that their government had basically agreed to the demands of the people on the east coast to build a railroad, and sold everything east of the railroad for a decent price, including the land, the minerals, and the people there!

Huang Hanhua and others went straight to the new town of Mar del Plata, which is controlled by the East Coasters, and after submitting the necessary identification documents, they were arranged to live in the county government guest house. According to the plan, they would rest here for six or seven days, and when the county government had gathered all the tax officials scattered in the settlements (many of whom were part-time, so it would take time for them to take over the work) to the county seat, Huang Hanhua would bring them to train them in the new tax policy that the state was about to implement in 1681.

Yes! They are here to preach the new tax policy, and although the whole of Pampa and Patagonia will implement the new tax system next year, in accordance with the spirit of the higher authorities, all counties in the country should organize the study and training of tax officials so that they can have a clear idea of what they do, and at the same time, by the way, they will also discuss the problems encountered in ordinary tax work and how to collect the taxes accumulated over the years without causing a particularly bad impact.

As an important member of the third tax reform working group, Huang Hanhua was naturally assigned a task, that is, to be responsible for the propaganda work of the counties in the Northern Patagonia region and the Niulanshan region, and at present, it seems that his first stop is obviously set in Yinhai County, a county that has not been established for a few years and has complex public feelings. In particular, Xuanwu, Daliang, Yancheng and other counties, after years of vigorous development, are now the country's famous wheat producing areas, barns are everywhere, and the mechanism flour industry is also developing well.

And just when Huang Hanhua and others lived in Yinhai County for two days, and the township officials were rushing to the county, He Yuan, the commissioner of the Niulanshan District Administration and the magistrate of Niuzhuang County, also accompanied the ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain to the east coast, Count Sebastian, to the port, and they came to read to the local officials the agreement just reached between the east and the west - the text of the agreement signed by King Carlos of Spain has been sent to the east coast by clipper, and Liao Xiaoyao, chairman of the executive committee of the East Coast Republic of China, has also signed on it. The agreement has been duly given legal effect.

According to the spirit of the agreement, the people on the east coast could build a railway between Yancheng and Buenos Aires, and the land on each side of the railway was a railway annex, and the railway operator, the Central Railway Company, could dispose of it at will, and the Spaniards were not allowed to interfere in the civil affairs of the railway annex, and the Spanish side was required to notify the Spanish side in advance of military affairs. Such a clause basically means that these thousands of square kilometers of railway annex have become a de facto east bank concession, because Spanish nationals cannot enter the railway annex without permission, and the east coast people's road protection brigade can even shoot at these people who cross the border without authorization, for the reason that is ready-made, that is, to protect the safety of the railway.

In addition, about 100,000 square kilometers of land east of the Yanbu Railway will also be fully opened to the citizens of the East Bank Republic of China! Any citizen of the East Coast can go to the ports of major coastal cities such as Dongfang, Zhenhai, Qingdao, Ping'an, Shangcheng and Jingjiang to register with the relevant departments, and then go to the Pampa Plain to operate various industries without the approval of the Kingdom of Spain.

Of course, in that vast land, they are still more or less constrained by officials sent by the East Coast government, but certainly not as tightly as the core of the homeland. Even if they didn't have to settle in Yinhai and Niuzhuang counties, they wouldn't have to pay a few taxes all year round, and they would be very comfortable.

The entire district of the Buenos Aires Prosecutor's Court had already known about this outcome. These colonial officials were all human beings, and having lived in La Plata for many years, they also had a deeper and more intuitive sense of the balance of power between the two countries, and they were not at all surprised that King Carlos finally ordered the "abandonment" of the area east of the Yanbu Railway. It's not a question of whether you want to or not, in fact, the initiative has never been in the hands of the Spaniards, and the nearly 5,000 soldiers sent by the East Coast have not yet completely withdrawn from the Pampa Plain, what else do you have to say in the face of such "truth"?

However, understanding is one thing, but the demarcation of the line with the people on the east coast and the eventual signing of the agreement (which is the demarcation agreement as an annex to the previous agreement) is something that everyone avoids, because it could ruin their reputations, especially the Hidalgos. In the end, the pot was finally thrown at the Spanish ambassador, Count Sebastian, and the sad man did not refuse, but silently accepted the "dirty task" and went to the silver harbor to read King Carlos's order to the local officials, who were also the highest administrative body of the Kingdom of Spain in the colonial towns, villages, estates, and military posts in the area east of the Pampa Plain, and at the same time issued a routine statement with He Yuan, the representative of the East Coasters, announcing that the people of the East Bank could freely settle here.

There is no doubt that this job is very embarrassing, and Count Sebastian can take on this responsibility, whether it is Huang Hanhua or He Yuan, they are actually a little admired. Comparing hearts to hearts, if they are in this situation, I am afraid that they will not even be able to cry, and the future will definitely be bleak.

"Mr. Ambassador, this land is barren and barren, so what's the use of not being able to live? Now it is left to our people to develop, and the production of grain, fruits, meat and milk, honey, oilseeds, and vegetables can also be supplied cheaply to Buenos Aires, Rosario, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Tucumán and other cities in your country. Moreover, we have pledged to pay your country an annual fee of 150,000 pesos for the use of land and a percentage of taxes, which is enough money to do a lot of things, at least in other parts of the Buenos Aires Court of Attorney's Court. Seeing that Count Sebastian was in a somewhat depressed mood, He Yuan smiled and comforted the other party, although his so-called words of relief might sound even more depressed.

"That's right, with this money, your country can build a better place. At the same time, our navy and army will also take over the defense of this land and the coastal waters, especially the key Río de la Plata, which can ensure security. Huang Hanhua, who was invited to witness, also said at this time: "Moreover, now your country has a lot of trouble in the Old World, and the primary enemy is also the extremely ambitious Kingdom of France. Louis XIV's army occupied half of the South Netherlands, and after the loss of the tax revenue, your country's economic situation is very bad, right? At this time, it is necessary to pay more attention to the safety of the treasure fleet, such as the robbery of the treasure ship in the port of Santa Cruz, which should not have happened. ”

He and Huang sang and harmonized, which made Count Sebastian smile bitterly. After thinking about it, he said very bluntly: "Actually, if you consider it from the perspective of interests, it is not a great bad thing to gradually transfer La Plata to your country. King Carlos's fundamental places are still in Castile, in Catalonia, in Sicily, in Naples, in Milan, in the South Netherlands, in Franche-Comté, and it is impossible for us to move the capital to the New World, that is unthinkable. Needless to say, the expansion of the Kingdom of France is more terrible than your desire for La Plata, for it threatens to destroy the glory of the Kingdom of Spain. So, what I would rather lose than areas like Madrid, Barcelona, Palermo, Naples, Milan, Brussels, Alsace that were occupied by the French, was La Plata. Now, my only hope is that La Plata will be able to become 'nourishment', a nourishment that will provide us with fighting power in Iberia to better defend against the mad French and guarantee the independence and glory of the Kingdom of Spain. ”

"That's right, the French are more wary. I have heard that this time your country is negotiating peace with France, and you want to choose a French noble woman as a wife for King Carlos, who has just come of age, I do not think it is appropriate. King Carlos can marry the Orange family, he can marry the German princes, he can marry the Swedish royal family, etc., all of which are more reliable than the French royal family, provided that you can succeed in converting the future queen to Catholicism, in fact, I don't think it's impossible to do. He Yuan brought up some rumors and anecdotes about the now-not-secret Franco-Spanish negotiations, among which the question of King Carlos's marriage was undoubtedly the most explosive.

According to the versions currently circulating, Marie, the niece of King Louis XIV of France and the county lord of Orleans, was the most likely candidate. He Yuan doesn't know how this news broke out, maybe the hostile forces in France or Spain got the news from the mouths of the diplomats who were not strict, and then deliberately spread it to make it more difficult. But then again, now that King Carlos is an adult, it's time to marry the queen and have children. You must know that in a huge country like Spain, which has territories in Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, the issue of heirs has always been a very sensitive political issue. But what if not? Then the Habsburgs and the Bourbons (descendants of Louis XIV and Theresa) would have the right to claim the throne of Madrid, and the fun would be great, and a great war would be inevitable.

Therefore, King Carlos is really on the cusp of Europe now, just as King Louis XIV of France was protected in a castle by knights loyal to the king when he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their lives are a guarantee of peace, and if they die, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will be buried with them.

But then again, shouldn't the people of the East Coast also plan for this? As the old saying goes, everything is foreseen and nothing is lost, with King Carlos's current health, it is not surprising when he dies, which requires all departments to make plans, that is, once King Carlos dies violently and causes a major war, where will the East Coast go! In addition, according to the information of the General Intelligence Agency, King Carlos has some humanitarian difficulties because of the marriage of his parents, and he is not optimistic that he will be able to give birth to an heir in the future, so it is even more necessary to plan in advance.
