As soon as Brother Lan Mao's words fell, a prickly parliamentarian jumped out and asked in a loud voice: "The Qiyao Stone Mine is the most stable financial source for Zhulai, according to such a plan, how can Zhulai's interests be guaranteed?" ”

The Governor stared at the councillor and said impatiently: "Isn't there already a provision in the bill for Julai's fiscal share, and according to the current sharing ratio, Julai's fiscal revenue should not be lower than it is now." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The councillor let out a sneer: "Your Excellency the Governor, don't take us all for fools, after the Qiyao Stone is franchised, who will decide the price?" As long as one more company was set up, the left hand was turned into the right hand, and Julai's Qiyao Stone soon fell like wheat to the point of bankrupting the farmer. At that time, Julai's finances may soon turn negative. ”

"That's right, when the land tax was reformed, it was said that each peasant household only needed to sell 30% of the wheat to the unified purchasing company, and it would be able to offset the agricultural tax of that year, but now the unified purchase price has become 2 mila and 1 comm, and the losses suffered by the farmers are even higher than when the tax was first introduced."

"At first, it was well said that after the opening of the railway, it would greatly promote the trade between Julay and the empire, but now all the train traffic is controlled in the hands of the railway company, and the local merchants do not enjoy the convenience brought by the railway transportation, and the goods of Julai are getting cheaper and cheaper, and more and more unsalable."

Someone made a start, and the parliamentarians quickly turned into powder kegs. All of those who can become members of parliament are masters of mouthball, and all of them have the idea that the law will not be held accountable, and they are gossiping and criticizing the governor's policy strategy.

The Governor listened patiently for a long time under the fire, until the ammunition supply of the councillors was insufficient, and then Shi Shiran took over the conversation: "This Governor is the supreme administrator of Julai, how can he not care about Julai's financial revenue and expenditure, this plan has been carefully calculated, and Zhulai's financial revenue in the future will never be lower than now." Actually, you are not worried about Zhulai's finances, but you are worried that after the merger of the mines, you will lose the opportunity to participate in the business of Qiyao Stone. Everyone is a smart person, and they all know in their hearts that if the mines are not merged, with the primitive mining methods and disorderly mining state of Julai, the mining industry in Julai will not be able to last long. Considering that there are indeed many people among you who have been engaged in the trading of Qiyao Stones, I am not without a compensation plan for you. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and an adjutant suddenly came out with a document and began to read it, to the effect that in the future, the by-products of mining, Yaohua wafers and associated ore business, will be invited to bid for agents, with a total of 5 agents.

The councillors below, all of a sudden, gathered together and whispered.

"There are only 5 places, isn't this a deliberate bait?"

"The requirements are too high."

"However, we can get together and fight for a share, and the average number of people here is six people to get a share."

"With that in mind, will those guys who didn't come tonight agree? I think I have to have a copy for 7 people, and leave one for those who didn't come. ”

"What about the Speaker?"

"Hmph, the speaker hasn't said anything so far, and he must have taken other benefits."

After only a few minutes, the councillors quickly agreed, and they soon stood in circles of five or six men, waiting to receive the bones thrown by the Governor.

At this moment, another attentive guy whispered: "How many years can this business be done?" ”

"yes, what about deadlines?"

It didn't take long for bold guys to ask the question.

The adjutant announced with a blank face: "The agency period is three years, and after three years, the agency price and conditions will be readjusted according to the market conditions at that time." ”

It turned out to be only three years! The deputies suddenly felt mocked, and their eager hearts gradually cooled.

The Governor couldn't help but sneer when he saw that the councillors were so ignorant, and with a wave of his hand, the adjutant announced in a loud voice: "You still have ten minutes to decide whether to give priority to this agent, and if there is no one to fight for it in ten minutes, tomorrow there will be an open recruitment of agents on the exchange." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and some of them were thinking about whether to speculate, when a councilor suddenly stepped forward and shouted: "This agency qualification was obtained at the cost of the Zhulai people losing their qualification to operate Qiyao Stone, and the value of these associated ores and Yaohua chips is far lower than that of Qiyao Stone, even if we obtain an agent, we must divide the agency share to other merchants who are currently operating the Qiyao Stone business, so that we can gain a foothold in the local area." Even so, this agency authority is only three years, isn't this obviously a fool? ”

The Governor stared at the councillor who spoke, and said slowly, "In that case, what do you think will be done to be satisfied?" ”

The councillor boldly said, "Your Excellency, our demands are not too high, as long as the mines of Julai are merged, they can still give thirty percent of the Qiyao Stone to the local Qiyao Stone merchants to operate, and the other seventy percent will still be operated by the United Company." In this way, together with the associated ore and flare wafer business, it can also stabilize the current mood of gem merchants. ”

"Oh, Sancheng, this request is not excessive, it is worth considering." The Governor muttered, a faint smile on his face, "If you have any other opinions on the affairs of the district, you can also put them forward." ”

Seeing that the Governor had loosened his tone and put on a good deliberative appearance, the other councillors could not help but be overjoyed, and made other demands:

"At present, there are too few trains between Julai and the empire, and there are only passenger transport, I hope to increase the number of freight carriages, speed up the flow of materials in Julai, and let Julai's economy recover as soon as possible."

"Gatapunia has always been an important source of goods for Julai, and we hope to lift the anti-smuggling checkpoint at Eagle Pass and allow the local surplus agricultural products to circulate."

"I hope that the special economic zone plan on the outskirts of Julai will be launched as soon as possible. The plan for the development of Chulais tourism that was promised to the citizens should be carried out as soon as possible. ”

The councillors tried to make several demands, but the Governor did not object, much to the delight of the councillors. One of the councillors boldly asked, "Your Excellency, since you have no objection to these proposals, when will they be implemented?" ”

The Governor smiled heartily and raised his voice abruptly.

"You said it very well, but I didn't expect that under Zhu Lai's rule, there would be a backlog of government affairs that urgently need to be solved. I recall that according to the rules of the Parliament, a vote in the Parliament is valid as long as more than two-thirds of the members are present, and the number of people present here today seems to have reached that requirement. On the first agenda item, let's vote on the mine merger proposal in Julai! ”

When the governor said this, even Delgado was startled, and he screamed regardless of his manners: "What! Isn't the vote on the mine not going until tomorrow? ”

The governor looked at him and smiled: "It's a matter of Julai's economy and people's livelihood, the sooner you deal with it, the better, besides, it's already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and there are still more than two hours, isn't it tomorrow!" ”

Delgado shuddered and suddenly became aware of the Governor's sinister intentions.

In the past few months, he has been instructing the parliamentarians to disobey the Governor's increasingly excessive demands, and even to divide them into two factions on the surface, creating the appearance that the opposition is too loud rather than he is not ineffective.

And at this moment, he suddenly had a sense of helplessness that the authority in his hands had really left him.

Duchamp, who was watching the bustle upstairs, saw this, helplessly reached for the communicator on his waist, pressed it four times in succession at the second yellow button, and after a while, repeated the action again. As soon as the signal was given, he turned his head to see the blue-haired man looking inquiringly at him.

"There's nothing going on down there." Duchamp said with a shrug at the blue-haired man.

"Yes!" The blue-haired man said noncommittally.

"In the later scenes, you can think of it with the soles of your feet, if the parliamentarians don't want to suffer, they should hurry up and obediently agree to the governor's request."

"This is not a council, how can a vote on such an important matter that can affect all Julay be secretly carried out at night. I protest, I won't participate! A member of parliament, already in a state of euphoria, raised his hand in protest and walked towards the door of the hall.

Two heavily armed men flashed outside the door, blocking it firmly.

There was a huge uproar among the parliamentarians, and many people felt a wave of fear, but more than that, anger, which was a violation of their rights. The parliamentarians threw up their hands in anger and shouted: "This is an abuse of power, why, Lord Governor, are you going to use soldiers to intimidate us, or even point guns at us to vote?" ”
