772 Uneasy

Immediately after the meeting, the resolutions entered the practical implementation phase. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

I have to say that Lanfang's government agencies are still very efficient, especially the two special systems of national security and the army, once mobilized, the power that erupts is a bit exaggerated to say that it will change the world, but to say that it is to subvert a region, or to say that it is aimed at someone, it is really clean.

Chiang Mai, second only to Bangkok in terms of economic development in the whole of Siam, Chiang Mai is not only developed in agriculture, but also has a certain industrial base.

Chiang Mai's agricultural products include not only rice, but also tobacco and teak, and mineral resources such as silver and tin have also been developed to a certain extent, but they are not on a large scale and do not have much influence.

There are many Chinese in Chiang Mai, the concentration of Chinese in the whole Siam is second only to Bangkok, the Chinese community in Chiang Mai is very large, there are more than a dozen Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Yunnan Association, Chao'an, Chaoyang Association, etc., the Chinese are mainly concentrated in the city, most of them are engaged in business, some are engaged in industry, and only a small number are engaged in agriculture.

This is also the basic situation of overseas Chinese, generally speaking, the Chinese who "go to Nanyang" are more active, after the Chinese arrive in Nanyang, few people are engaged in agriculture, basically all of them are engaged in business, which is also one of the reasons for the high economic status of overseas Chinese.

Of course, economic status means that social status is also relatively high, but this does not mean that political status is also high, in Southeast Asia, once the political situation changes, social turmoil, the Chinese often become the local government in order to divert social contradictions and "create" victims.

The situation has improved slightly after the founding of Lanfang, although it has not fundamentally changed, and the situation is gradually getting better even in the areas ruled by the British.

Chiang Mai Chinese Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man in his forties dressed in a long shirt hurriedly walked into the backyard living room.

"Brother Ziting is back!"

"Brother Ziting has worked hard all the way."

"Ziting, is there any news?" Everyone who was drinking tea in the hall stood up to greet them, and the expressions on their faces were quite worried.

"It's not good, the British now occupy Laixingfu, Laixingfu and Gan Hengbi have deployed heavy troops on the border, I found the chamber of commerce boss over there, and made a thousand pounds before entering Gan Hengbi, Lanfang people don't dare to offend the British now, I'm afraid that they won't be able to reach our Chiang Mai for a while." The person who called Ziting sat down at the table, poured a bowl of water and drank it all, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"How is this good-"

"Damn the British again!"

"I said earlier that we would raise the banner of Lanfang and declare that this is Lanfang's territory, you just don't listen, now you are dumbfounded!"

Everyone in the hall immediately had different opinions, and there was nothing to say.

"It's all quiet!" The only old man who didn't get up put down the blue and white tea cup in his hand, although his voice was not loud, the effect was still good, and he felt very authoritative: "You can see the people over there?" ”

"See, it's really strong, not to mention the Siamese, even if it's better than the British, if you start to attack us, it won't be a problem to hit us. The people over there were also embarrassed, I saw a colonel surnamed Zhang, it was said that the official position was the head of the regiment, and the head of the regiment Zhang did not say when he would go north, but only said that we should wait patiently. Ziting's attitude was respectful, and he looked like he was facing his elders.

"Did they say anything else?" The old man was noncommittal, and his face was impassive.

"That's not true, I said what we meant, I said our heart of retribution, but there was still no spit out over there, and I didn't ask for the filial piety I sent." Ziting took out a check from his bosom and respectfully put it in the old man's hand.

"Then wait!" The old man closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"It may be an encouragement, or a commendation, or a reprimand, but it is not like there is no word at allβ€”" Someone next to him questioned.

"Really, even when I said that we could cooperate with them to drive out the British, the head of the regiment Zhang didn't say anything, just let us wait and see what happened." Ziting spread his hands and looked helpless.

"In the final analysis, they are still afraid of the British, this Lanfang people seem to have a lot of momentum, but they are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, facing the Siamese people are like a bamboo, and when they see the British, they are tied up, and they are not promising." Someone whispered strange things, not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly looked bad.

This Ziting was originally entrusted by the Chiang Mai Chinese Chamber of Commerce to contact the people of Lanfang, that is, to prepare for a good relationship first, or to make it convenient in the future, maybe when the Lanfang army comes, he can make some meritorious deeds, maybe he can also get some benefits, for the sake of the labor army, these people even made a sum of money to sign out, so that Ziting can open up the joints. But I didn't expect it to be such a result, the money was not sent out, and no one received it, so it was inevitable that some people would be disappointed in their hearts.

"Confused! Are the British good to get along with? If it really starts, who will suffer? Aren't we Han Chinese in the British-occupied zone? People are protecting us, not letting us be in the midst of swords, don't know what to do! The old man didn't open his eyes, but he could also feel that the atmosphere was not quite right, and the person who said the strange thing just now was sweating profusely.

"I see that the Lanfang people also have a law, I have been over there for the past two days, the Lanfang people have really not violated military discipline in the autumn, whether it is for us Han people or Siamese people, there are not many times to disturb the people, even if they use something, they will pay according to the price, and even give a surplus, as long as we keep in touch, they will definitely not ignore us." Ziting still got a lot of information, which would be fascinating, obviously still envious of the situation over there.

"Then keep in touch, haven't you heard what people say, let us wait and see what happens, it is estimated that the Lanfang people also have a backhand, this great river and mountain can't just be so cheap for the British." The old man can see it and is a man who can call the shots.

"That's right, we can't be cheap to the British, we also have to be prepared, let the people who have to use it under our hands be ready, and at any time the Lanfang army will come over, and then we should work together inside and outside, and make this Chiang Mai truly become the world of our Han people." Ziting has seen the weather of Lanfang's army, and it seems that he has a really good impression of that side, and he is already in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

"Don't act rashly, and don't tell your family, this is a very critical time, the British are staring at us closely, if we are not careful, we will become the target of the British Liwei, if no one comes over there, let's not talk about looking for the past, so as not to mess up the deployment over there." The old man was still thoughtful.

"That's what the president said."

"Zhong Weng has a point."

"Just do what Zhong Weng says." After the old man finished speaking, he immediately pandered to the sound, anyway, everyone had already expressed their attitude, even if there was no merit, there was always no fault.
