Mao Geng didn't know that Qu Laisan was still alive in the world, let alone that this guy followed Chen Liang to Zhancheng, and how did he know that this guy would definitely go all the way west to pursue his dream! If Mao Geng knew about Qu Laisan's attempt, he would naturally try to stop it, but Chen Liang hid this matter from Mao Geng, and Mao Geng didn't know anything about it.

Mao Geng just thinks that it is always good for Chinese businessmen to build more commercial ports overseas, and it would be great if they could further find an enclave to be used as a commercial port.

According to the press of this matter, it is said that Jiang Kui and Jin Ding and his party went to Annam, anchored at a new port in Halong Bay, and then Jiang Kui and his party boarded 6 from there and went to Thang Long (now Hanoi) in Annam Province.

The name of Annam was given by Song Xiaozong in the first year of Chunxi (1175). In April of this year, Li Yingzong, the king of Annam, died, and Li Gaozong, who was only two years old, ascended the throne, and Su Xiancheng, the auxiliary minister, was also loyal, and Su Xiancheng yearned for the culture of the Celestial Empire, built a Confucian temple, respected Confucianism, and had the potential to build Annam into a small China. But after only five years of auxiliary government, Su Xiancheng died, and Annan's national politics has deteriorated since then.

As the seventh king of the Li Dynasty, Li Longhan gradually grew into a model of a loser. Historically, he had no way to govern the country, believed in slander, liked hunting, and overrepaired palaces, and Li Longhan's achievement in his life was to basically lose the family business of the ancestors of the Li Dynasty in his hands. As soon as Li Longhan died, the enthroned Li Huizong became the puppet of the Chen family, Li Huizong was in a daze on the throne of the king of Annam for 14 years, and in 1224, he witnessed the fall of the Li Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty took his place, and the next year, Li Huizong, who was dedicated to facing the Buddha, was killed in the Zhenjiao Zen Temple, and the Li family was all buried alive, and all the people with the surname Li in Annam were forcibly changed to the surname Ruan, and even the Li Dynasty was changed to the Ruan Dynasty. Tracing back to the roots, this qiē is all due to Li Gaozong and Li Longhan.

It is said that Li Longhan is seventeen years old this year, although he is still the auxiliary government of the Queen Mother, but Li Longhan, who is getting older, has already shown the potential of some losers, and hunting is no longer a problem, and at the same time, like all rich N generations, is slowly showing his usual generosity in squandering. However, it is a pity that he can't completely make up his mind when it comes to big things, but Li Longhan has already made up his mind that once he gets power, he will build a new luxury palace as soon as possible.

Jiang Kui came to Thang Long in this context.

Although Jiang Kui was not a great Confucian in the Great Song Dynasty, he was undoubtedly a top Confucian when he arrived in Annan.

Li Longhan's respect for Confucianism is just a surface, but for singing and dancing is a sincere love, Li Longhan listened to Jiang Kui's lyrics and music, and was greatly impressed for a while, especially Jiang Kui's "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn" for Li Qingzhao's "A Cut of Plums", which made Li Longhan, a seventeen-year-old young king, fascinated.

Jiang Kui never expected that after coming to Annan, he suddenly became hot, and the treatment he received was incomparable.

The language is not understood on the Champa side, but the Chinese language is spoken on the Annan side, and many customs are like the Great Song Dynasty, and Jiang Kui found the feeling of being worshiped by thousands of people here. Just because in Zhancheng, after all, Chen Liang is more in the limelight, but when he arrives in Annan, Jiang Kui's lyrics advantages have been fully reflected.

Looking at the whole of Annan, who can write such a good word as "Yangzhou Slow", let alone make a song on their own. After Jiang Kui, who was not officially treated in the Great Song Dynasty, arrived in Annan, his fortune suddenly changed, and he was suddenly regarded as a great Confucian and a peerless talent, and was warmly sought after by thousands of people, including Li Longhan, who was the lord of Annan.

However, Li Longhan's troubles also followed, that is, the neighboring country of Zhancheng was building a gorgeous new palace, and the overseas edition of "Xin Pao" continued to report on the luxury of the new palace in the city of Zhancheng in the future, which aroused Li Longhan's heart of comparison and made Li Longhan feel slapped in the face by the city.

Li Longhan was already dissatisfied with the old palace, even if there was no occupation of the city to build the palace, Li Longhan was definitely going to build a new palace when he was in power for two years, but the new palace of Zhan Nai Zhancheng suddenly crowned one side, Li Longhan envy, jealousy and hatred all came to his heart, Li Longhan decided that Annan was the only one of the three kingdoms, and how could he make Zhancheng exclusive in the prestige of the palace!

Once upon a time, Annan waved his troops to smash the city, 20 years ago the city had to submit to the soft respect of Annan as the boss, but time has passed, the city of Zhancheng ten years ago was stunned to occupy Angkor, plundered a lot, presumably the city is a palace built with real wax looted property.

Everyone has the heart of comparison, especially the rich N generation. It's not just the rich N generation, but it's actually human nature. Just as later generations competed to build the world's tallest building, it was also a matter of comparison, if you build the tallest building, I will build a higher one to cover you, so the height of the building has reached a new high.

At this moment, Li Longhan was crazy that the new palace in Champa was about to cross the palace of Annam, but Li Xiaowang's mind was naturally speculated, so some speculators in Annam began to operate the construction of the new palace. However, at this time, the power was in the hands of the Queen Mother, and the construction of the palace was not a small amount of money, and the Queen Mother did not let go, and the money was not settled for a while. Without money, no matter how Li Longhan is, a new palace cannot be built.

Jiang Kui's side quickly learned about this trend, Annan, like the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court couldn't hide any secrets, and Annan's enthusiasts made temptations, but Jiang Kui was not sensitive to this and did not regard this movement as a business opportunity.

The scenery of Ha Long Bay is truly beautiful, with more than 2,000 large and small islands, each of which stands out on the turquoise sea, which can be called a fairyland on earth. Jiang Kui decided to live in Ha Long Bay, which, according to Mao Geng's vague description, seemed to be the place where coal was hidden. Of course, in addition to this, Jinding did not forget to send people to look elsewhere.

Forty years ago, a new commercial port was built here in Halong Bay, and merchants from all over the world came and went to the port, making Halong Bay prosperous day by day. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, among these countless islands, there are often pirates, among the pirates, there are both Annan pirates, there are also Great Song pirates, and even pirates who are partners with the Great Song and Annan people. And the official Annam has not been able to exterminate the pirates in the archipelago.

On this day, a group of Great Song pirates sent representatives to find Jiang Kui, Jiang Kui looked down on the pirates, and pushed it to Jinding with a push.

But it turned out that Lin Gui, as a pirate of the Great Song Dynasty, occupied an island, and the group of pirates led by him had robbed a lot of money over the years. But Lin Gui was worried that he would be liquidated by the Annan government after he went ashore, and when he heard that Jiang Kui was respected by the Annan monarchs and ministers in Annan, he had the heart to follow Jiang Kui's door, wash his hands and go ashore to be a decent merchant of the Great Song Dynasty. In view of the lack of knowledge, Jin Ding couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to help these pirates.

To say that Jiang Kui's luck is really too good to be good, at this moment, a group of Jinding's subordinates who were looking for coalfields nearby bumped into Dayun, and they really dug up the best coal on a mountain bag that does not grow trees, originally thought that digging coal was a needle in a haystack, but things turned out to be so surprisingly smooth, it can only be said that the luck was amazing.

Everyone was overjoyed, but the coal field was born in Annam, and how to maximize the benefits of the coal field is really a big problem. A very direct way is to spend money to buy land, but if you buy land, how many acres should you buy? Even if you buy the land, but the minerals are not as good as others, a little understanding, the Annam government also has another set of methods for managing minerals, so buying the land may not work, so how can it be good!

Jiang Kui remembered that Chen Liang had talked about the countermeasures, but unfortunately he was absent-minded at the time, but the countermeasures were in the bag, and they could be opened and pondered carefully.

But Jiang Kui and Jin Ding opened the bag and pondered carefully, but they still couldn't get the point. The two had no choice but to find Mao Geng's disciple Yang Zhe to sum up, Yang Zhe was originally sent by Mao Geng to assist Jiang Kui, after reading the tips, he pondered for a while, and then said:

"Mr. once said that it is not easy to ask the government to come out with money, but the government has a lot of resources, and it can always find resources to exchange benefits. Most of these islands are terra nullius, and the coalfields have remained deserted to this day, so we can build a new royal palace for the king of Annam if he agrees to take half the money and lend us some more land as a concession. ”

Of course, Mao Geng's strategy was copied from the government of later generations, and the government of later generations borrowed money from the people or paid contractors, often using land to pay.

"Why do you have to make it a concession?" , Jiang Kui is still a little puzzled, this concept is too out of his knowledge.

"The concession is just a statement, to put it bluntly, the reason why you want to lease the concession, rather than simply buy land, is because after the concession pays the rent, it is the ** kingdom, for example, there is no need to pay taxes, and so on. As long as the concession period is not exceeded, the concession can be regarded as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and Annam cannot meddle in the affairs of the concession anyway. ”

Jin Ding immediately said:

"Yes, this 'concession' is very good, but since you want to build a concession, of course, you have to choose the site on this side of the coalfield, what is the use of wanting that island!."

Jiang Kui estimated that Li Longhan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay half of the money, so he said:

"In fact, it is enough for Annan to pay 30 percent."

Yang Zhe thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Pay two percent, two achievements are enough! Since Lin Gui wanted to be a serious Song maritime businessman, that achievement fell on Lin Gui. ”

Chen Liang Huaxi Construction Company's bottom line is 30% cash, and if it is less than 30% Huaxi Construction Company, it will have to be discounted, so 30% must not be less. As for the profit sharing on this basis, it is Mao Geng, "Taisong Haimao" and "Huaxi Company" to calculate the detailed accounts, in short, the affairs of the three are much easier to say.

The cost of building a palace in Zhancheng is 200,000 taels of silver, and if Annan wants to build a palace that has been renovated in Zhancheng, he will have to pay at least 300,000 taels of silver, 30 percent is 90,000 taels, and 20 percent is only 60,000 taels, 60,000 taels of silver, Li Longhan must have been able to take it.

"Wouldn't that really be to get one or two islands for Lin Gui as a concession!" , Jiang Kui actually wants to have a picturesque island.

"Although it's cheap, but with Lin Gui, a person who is familiar with Halong Bay, here, there is also a place where it can be used." , Jinding is more practical.

"That's right! He's got to listen to us. Jiang Kui felt that Lin Gui didn't look so hateful at the moment.

The three of them summed it up and drew up a negotiation plan. Before Yang Zhejian threw the plan to the Annan official, Feige passed the book to Mr. Mao, and Mr. Mao might be able to give a better opinion.

Mao Geng did give his opinion, but the content has not changed, but the concession has been greatly beautified.

As a result, the notorious "concession" in history was transformed into a new policy for attracting investment in Annam in Mao Geng's plan, and its slogan was: "Annam's window, a century-old concession, rest assured to do business, and prosper." ”，

This slogan is full of positive energy, when Li Longhan learned about Jiang Kui's mention of yì, he immediately felt that Jiang Kui was simply too thoughtful for Annan, such as "partial payment for the construction of the palace", which is very much in line with his own heart, well, it is not a problem to pay two into five. In addition, if Ha Long Bay attracts the great Song Dynasty merchants to come to operate, it is difficult to say who borrowed whose chickens and laid eggs! Well, "open down Longwan and create a small China", this is a very good idea.

Li Longhan instructed his subordinates that such a meaningful matter must be done as soon as possible.
