Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It is not surprising that Annan has expressed great enthusiasm for building Halong Bay into a "Little China". Although there was no slogan of "building an international city" in these years, the prosperity of the city of the Great Song Dynasty was enough to be proud of the world, and no one would refuse to build a prosperous city in their own country. At this time, Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, had a population of one million, and its prosperity was overwhelming.
Although there was controversy between the Annam and the DPRK over the lease of the concession, the proponents of "building a small China" and "building Quanzhou in Annam" were all extremely tempting slogans, so that opponents could not speak out against them.
What's more, "Taiwan Song Dynasty Sea Trade", "Mao Company", and "Huaxi Construction" can be called the leaders of the Great Song Dynasty business circles, and it is said that the background of "Taiwan Song Dynasty Sea Trade" has a great background, and the person in chief is Han Yanxuan, who is a relative of the emperor, and the imperial grandson Zhao Luan, who is likely to win the throne in the background, is enough to make the merchants of Champa and Annam look up, not to mention that there are two other families tied together! With these three Song merchants who can be called supreme giant merchants to help Annam build Halong Bay, what more can you ask for! Some of the courtiers of Annan who catered to Li Longhan openly claimed that such a good opportunity must not be missed.
The most terrible thing is that there are rumors that people seem to be hesitating about choosing Annan Halong Bay or Cam Ranh Bay, which occupies the city.
Li Longhan's youthful temperament, firstly, he is very happy, and secondly, he is bent on building a gorgeous palace, and the queen mother is a woman, and her knowledge is also very limited, and she feels that she can meet Li Longhan's wish to build a palace without spending a lot of money, and she feels that she is quite advantageous, and as for Li Longhan's intention to build Ha Long Bay into a famous commercial port in the Great Song Dynasty, the queen mother also feels that the opportunity is rare.
It must be said that in this matter, after Annan learned of Jiang Kui's intentions, he showed considerable initiative. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that when the Chinese people of later generations introduce the world's top 500 companies, without exception, they will put on a posture of "one qiē condition is negotiable", such as "zero land price", tax incentives, and so on. Eight hundred years ago, the three Great Song Dynasty were the world's top 50 in Annan's eyes, and Annan's mentality was similar, and he also put on the lowest posture and the most sincere sincerity to ensure the success of investment promotion.
Soon, substantive contacts and negotiations began.
Considering that Jiang Kui is a humble gentleman, it was agreed in advance that Jiang Kui was only the protagonist of the negotiation in name, and that Jin Ding and Yang Zhe were responsible for bargaining on all important points.
It must be said that Jiang Kui has been familiar with the doctrine of sages all his life, and he has won the essence of benevolence and righteousness, but he really has no consciousness of being a profiteer. Jiang Kui's heart is really good, sometimes when he talks, he will stand in Annan's position to help the other party, and as a result, the negotiation situation that was quite active made Jiang Kui release the water on the spot, and inexplicably gave up a lot of interests, and also took up a lot of trouble.
In this regard, afterwards, Jin Ding felt that Jiang Kui should not give in:
"Mr. Yaozhang, originally said 20,000 acres, seeing that Annan was about to agree, they proposed the first phase of the concession of 10,000 acres, and two years later the second phase of the concession of 10,000 acres, this second phase is obviously to wait for the palace to be built before they are willing to lease to us, this kind of thing, just refuse them directly, presumably they dare not insist. Why did the gentleman give in? ”
"The first phase of 10,000 acres is almost the same, and the monarchs and ministers of Annan are already quite sincere, and they are too late, so they will leave a line in everything and see each other in the future."
When Jiang Kui said this, Jin Ding also knew that Jiang Kui was such a person, and he couldn't bear everything, so he had to sigh.
Jiang Kui also knew that he had given in a little too much, so he said apologetically:
"Okay, I'll say less in the future."
But the second time, Jiang Kui released the water again.
"Why did Mr. agree to reduce the lease to seventy years?" , Jin Ding was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Kui's release of water again.
"You see, seventy years is enough for us to dig up the coal under the ground, and besides, hasn't the lease of the island been extended to one hundred and fifty years!"
"But those islands are of little use, sir!"
Originally, the condition was that the lease of 10,000 mu of coal under the ground on the 6th part of Halong Bay was 100 years, and the other four islands were also leased for 100 years, but during the negotiations, the Annam side held that the lease period on the 6th place should not be too long, while the lease period of the offshore islands might as well be extended to 150 years. Jiang Kui felt that it was understandable that Annan wanted to recover the concession on 6 as soon as possible, but Annan did not take those islands seriously, Jiang Kui felt that the island was beautiful and the lease period was longer, so he agreed to it. In Jinding's eyes, Jiang Kui's move was too cheap for Annan.
"Well, let's not talk about that. But why did he agree to set up a Ha Long College for them? ”
"Running a Xialong Academy is also a gesture, even if we go overseas, we still can't forget the merits of education, Annan respects Confucius and Confucianism, we preach for Annan's disciples to solve doubts, deeply in line with the way of the sage, I have made up my mind, don't say more."
"Alright! Mr. benevolence and righteousness, so that I admire! But why promise Annan to fight the pirates on the islands! Sir, our strength is limited, and it is not easy to exterminate pirates on 2,000 islands! Annam is still helpless against pirates, so what can we do! This is a huge amount of money, how can you agree! ”
"Pirates rob people and property, endanger one side, and should be exterminated, I just want to do my best."
Having said that, Jiang Kui looked back and thought about it, there are countless islands here, and pirates are not two together, and it is indeed inconsiderate to promise to exterminate pirates, but as soon as the words are spoken, how can he regret it, so he said:
"There is something wrong with this matter, I didn't think it through, but it's troublesome."
Jin Ding smiled bitterly:
"I know that Mr. Yaozhang is upright and benevolent, anyway, I have to talk to Mr. Fu about building a palace for Annan, so it's better to talk about it when Mr. Tongfu comes."
"That's it!"
Jiang Kui was a little embarrassed, feeling that he was dragging everyone back, and he was a little unhappy for a while.
Jin Ding then left Annam, and Jin Ding came in two ships, one of which loaded a shipload of coal and headed straight for Taiwan.
Within a day, Chen Liang came to Ha Long Bay.
After listening to Jiang Kui and Yang Zhe's introduction, Chen Liang said with a smile:
"Brother Yaozhang don't worry! It's a trifle! Brother Yao Zhang's heart is too good, and a few kind words from people can win Brother Yao Zhang's sympathy, and in the end, Brother Yao Zhang chased away their wishes. But it's not a big deal, I'm here for everything, just rest assured! ”
"Shame! It's okay to do other things, but you shouldn't have agreed to the extermination of pirates, and now it's difficult to ride a tiger, and it's causing chaos for your brother. ”
Chen Liang laughed:
"Brother Yaozhang, pirates are not monolithic, they can attack poison with poison, and if we can't make it, we can use this to negotiate terms with Annan."
As soon as Chen Liang arrived, Jiang Kui simply hung up the war-free card, and only Yang Zhe followed, and most of the time he was just a listener.
Chen Liang's aura is very strong, and Annan suddenly felt the aggressive pressure, in addition, there are rumors that Chen Liang has all kinds of magical methods, such as the Song people dug up coal in Halong Bay, and it is also said that Chen Liang has the ability to turn stone into gold, and he has the magic power to predict the future, Yunyun.
It should be true that coal was dug up in Ha Long Bay, and maybe Chen Liang can also point out other treasures to be dug up in Annam, the people of Annam thought.
However, Chen Liang is really not as easy to fool as Jiang Kui, and it is said that the conditions offered by Cam Ranh Bay on the other side of Zhancheng are also very good, and in this case, Annan has to make some concessions.
Although the Annan side made some concessions, the final terms agreed were still quite satisfactory to the Annan monarchs, but in fact, the Annan side did not make concessions in principle, that is, only made concessions on the islands. The Annan government originally lacked due control over these many islands, and it can be said that there was no harm in letting the Great Song Dynasty work together to exterminate the pirates on the condition of leasing the islands. Therefore, it is not unacceptable to lease a few more islands to them.
In the end, the leased islands became eleven for a period of one hundred and fifty years. The other terms were still untouched according to Jiang Kui's concessions at that time. The so-called 20,000 mu 6 upper concession, the first phase of 10,000 mu will take effect immediately, and the second phase will be leased after two years, and the lease period of 6 upper concession will be 70 years.
Chen Liang is here, mainly talking about the construction of the Annan Palace, but Li Longhan's construction requirements are a bit strange, well, in short, it is more complicated, and it will take a while to finalize the specific palace construction plan. Of course, this is only a matter of details, the budget for the construction of the palace has been determined, and the approximate scale has been determined, and the entire palace construction will pay 20% and 5 percent of the silver, and the rest will be offset by the rent of the concession. In other words, there was no need to pay Annam the rent of the concession, and these rents were used as 7/5 of the cost of the construction of the palace.
Mao Geng heard that eleven islands were leased at once, and Chen Liang used six of them to recruit six groups of Great Song pirates, including Lin Gui's group.
Chen Liang's offer was very tempting, as long as the pirates paid money, they could obtain a lease of a certain island for 150 years, of course, from then on, they had to bid farewell to their pirate careers and follow the Great Song Dynasty sea forces to kill the rest of the pirates. After the pirates were reformed, they could choose to transport coal or participate in the construction of the royal palace. In this way, the pirates have been transformed into Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, who have not only a legitimate place to live, but also a long-term business, do not spend much money, and gain a lot, it must be said that these pirates and Chen Liang have achieved a win-win situation.
Mao Geng heard that all kinds of rumors were popular in the government and the opposition in Annan, all of which said that Chen Liang could calculate by pinching his fingers, knew astronomy and geography, and had the ability of the legendary Zhuge . The pirates were also convinced of this, because the coal dug up in Ha Long Bay was obtained from Chen Liang's magical powers. In view of Chen Liang's supreme supernatural powers, all kinds of rumors predict the end of the pirates - those who go along will prosper, and those who go against will die! Therefore, in addition to the six Great Song pirates who returned to Chen Liang, other pirates also began to have similar plans.
Hehe, Chen Liang was used as a magic stick to offer, it's okay!
It's just that the 70-year lease right feels a little grotesque, and how can it be like the 70-year land use right of later generations. But then I think about it, the concession is different after all, and it can be called a ** kingdom.
