Chapter 963: The Grand Canal Project

Xiao Nan, Kanzang's face was vaguely confused, obviously confused about the conversation between the two, only Yahiko understood the subtext of Maeda Takashi, so he leaned his head a little closer and replied in a low volume:

"Mr. Gao Zhi, in next year's general election, I would like to support your promotion to the post of prime minister on behalf of the people of Yu Province, and I believe that the teacher's side should not raise any objections after learning of your generosity."

After speaking, Yahiko retracted his head, his expression was easy-going and natural, Maeda Takashi heard what he wanted, so he received the umbrella in his right hand, took off the glove in his left hand, and stretched it out, the smile on his fat face became more and more filled:

"In this way, I am willing to inject 2 billion taels of capital in advance for the Grand Canal project in Yu Province, and also initiate a proposal to raise more funds for the excavation, construction, and maintenance of the canal."

"This money, to say the least, should be able to reach about 10 billion taels, enough to repair the canal from the rain province to the wind province, maybe it can also be repaired to the soil province? It doesn't feel like it's impossible. ”

"In short, Yahiko-sen, my sincerity, ideals, aspirations, and benevolence have all touched me, so let's both of us work together to create a new era and achieve common prosperity for the people of the empire."

Yahiko stretched out his hand without hesitation, his back was slightly bent, and he held Maeda Takashi's chubby palm tightly, and the violent fluctuations in his mood caused him to speak with a faint trace of trill:

"Mr. Gao Zhi, thank you for your support to Yu Province, I Yahiko can make only one guarantee: including myself, the 200,000 people of Yu Province will not let you down!"

Seeing Yahiko's excited appearance, Maeda Takashi seemed to be touched, he stepped forward and hugged each other, patted the young man on the back, and then stepped back a little, sincerely encouraging Yahiko.

The negotiations went smoothly, and the Grand Canal project was successfully finalized, whether it was a ninja such as Konan Kanzo or Maeda Takashi's subordinates, everyone couldn't help but cheer, and the atmosphere in the venue was happy for a while.

Subsequently, the two sides agreed on a series of specific matters such as the next negotiation time and docking personnel, and Maeda Takashi took the initiative to say goodbye, intending to return to China as soon as possible to raise funds and convene a congress.

Until Maeda Takashi and his party were sent to the train station, watching the backs of several people disappear at the door of the platform, the smile on Yahiko's face did not dissipate, Xiao Nan saw this, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and said with a happy smile:

"Yahiko, congratulations, you're one step closer to your dream!"

"No, it's our dream." Raising his arm lightly and hugging Xiao Nan's body, Yahiko's face was calm, his voice was not high, but his tone was very firm, and the husband and wife snuggled together silently, enjoying the joy of success together.

"Lord Yahiko, the rain province can come to this day step by step, but it is really beyond the old man's expectations......" Kanzang didn't want to break Yahiko Xiaonan's warmth, but his excited heart still made him can't help but praise loudly:

"The old man probably never dreamed that he would be able to witness the land under his feet in his lifetime and experience a great change that changed the world, Lord Yahiko, you are really the ...... of the people of our rain province."

Sensing the smell of sycophants in Kanzang's words, Yahiko hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and Zhengse interrupted: "Senior Kanzang, don't lift me up, today in Yu Province is the result of the joint efforts of all of us." ”

"If it weren't for the support of you and your old rain ninja, how could I, Yahiko, have gained the trust of the people? How to make some achievements and attract the favor of big capitalists like Mr. Gao Zhi? ”

"You should be the first to take shape for the Grand Canal project to take shape."

Looking at the current councilor of the Fire Empire and the ruler of the Rain Province with a solemn face, without a trace of reluctance when he spoke, and even a little humble, Kanzang felt a lot of emotion in his heart, deeply feeling the unpredictability of fate and the creation of people.

If Hanzo-sama were still alive, he would like this young man very much, right? It's a pity, it's pitiful, it's pathetic, it's a pity...... There is a saying that one misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and then looking back is a hundred years old.

Is...... The five flavors are mixed and difficult to describe.

Shaking his head, Kanzang dispelled the complicated thoughts in his mind, thinking of the last exchange between Yahiko and Maeda Takashi, the old man was a little worried, so he couldn't help but remind a little:

"Lord Yahiko, although the old man is overjoyed that the Grand Canal project can be finalized, and the people of Yu Province will definitely praise each other in the future, but the agreement between you and Mr. Gao Zhi ...... And be careful, watch out for those guys at the roots. ”

No matter how many flowers are covered on the surface, no matter how many gorgeous and righteous words are used, they cannot hide it...... The Grand Canal project is essentially a political transaction.

Maeda Takashi intends to be the next prime minister, and the choice of prime minister is decided by the citizens of the provinces of the empire, and Yu Province, as a province of considerable scale, has 200,000 votes, which is worthy of the big capitalist's money and efforts.

As a high-ranking official of the Rain Province designated by the Diet, Yahiko successfully received the help of the old Rain Shinobi such as Kanzo, plus the name of the Prime Minister's disciple, so he quickly gained a firm foothold in the Rain Province, and after several years of development, he had a strong control over the people under his rule.

In this way, it is not surprising that Yahiko and Maeda Takashi traded the Grand Canal project with the votes of the rain province, but it is difficult to say whether this kind of political transaction is easy to do, and if the roots smell the wind, it is difficult to ensure that there is no trouble for both sides of the transaction.

"Uchiha Fugaku......" Thinking of the rumored head of the root department who was not recognized by the six relatives, Yahiko's brows tightened slightly unconsciously, but it didn't take long for him to slowly stretch out as if he thought of something.

First, he nodded slightly to Xiao Nan, who was looking at him worriedly, and returned a stable look, and then looked sideways at Kanzang, Yahiko considered his wording, and replied cautiously:

"Exploration predecessors, the starting point of the Grand Canal project is good, even if there are some shady things in it, but in essence, it is still for the sake of the people of Yu Province, and the country has nothing to lose, I think Minister Fuyue should understand."

"Also, I'm going to visit the teacher in Konoha after a while." When he said the first sentence, Kanzang still frowned, but when he reached the second sentence, he suddenly stretched out and had a smile on his face.

"With Mr. Prime Minister coming forward, it should be fine, Yahiko, you really should visit your teachers more often, you haven't seen each other for a few years? Don't forget to bring extra gifts. ”

Speaking of this, Kanzo no longer addressed Yahiko with honorifics, but with a tone of a person who has come over, he earnestly admonished in the tone of an old-timer: "Remember not to be in a hurry in everything, and it is right to listen to your teacher's opinion." ”

"yes, I know."

Yahiko nodded slightly, looking clear, Kanzo didn't say much when he saw this, he felt that Yahiko should be able to understand his subtext, this young man was stupid on the surface, but in fact he had great wisdom, and there was no need to say everything.
