Chapter 493: Expansion of the shipyard
Chen Hao was always smiling, he walked up to Cen Chunxuan and saluted and said: "The Governor wants to deduct the military salary of the Navy Division, and I have no choice but to try my best to appease the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, I hope there will be no mutiny!" In any case, it was imperative to build a ship for the sailors, and the Governor had come to see the Governor to discuss the expansion of the shipyard. ”
Cen Chunxuan flicked his sleeves and said: "Lord Chen not only has the money to raise his own sailors, but also has the money to expand the shipyard to build warships, since he has such a big ability to do what he wants to do directly, can he report to the official?" ”
Chen Hao said with a smile: "Xia Guan has some spare money in his hands for the time being, and the matter of building the ship has also been reported to Lafayette, but the Whampoa Shipyard is too small." The lower officials were going to build some new docks, which would require a lot of land to be acquired, so they came to consult with the governor. ”
Chen Hao said that the new warship was approved by the Empress Dowager Cixi, which dispelled the possibility of Cen Chunxuan impeaching him to increase his strength privately. Cen Chunxuan fell behind everywhere, and he was a little resentful in his heart, he just wanted to leave now, so he said impatiently: "Lord Chen's methods are clever, and the funds are extremely sufficient, just make your own decisions on such a trivial matter as land requisition, and the official doesn't want to pay attention to it." ”
Chen Hao said happily: "Thank you for the support of the Governor, then the lower official will immediately contact the craftsmen to expand the shipyard and build a new ship for the Guangdong Navy as soon as possible." ”
Cen Chunxuan casually perfunctory about the land acquisition, because he didn't think it was a big deal, but the eagle feather face next to him was green. Since he had long coveted the Whampoa Shipyard and had the idea of developing the navy, Yingyu's base was built near the shipyard. The damn Chen Baxian must have been uneasy and kind to talk to the governor about land requisition, and he got Cen Chunxuan's permission to definitely give up on his own grounds.
When Cen Chunxuan turned around and was about to leave, Ying Yu hurriedly followed, and he said with a heavy face: "My lord, I have a grudge against Chen Baxian, and he wants to expand the shipyard mostly to target me. Over the years, I have built many new factories near the Whampoa Terminal. There are also a lot of buildings, and if he occupies land under the pretext of expanding the shipyard, I am afraid that the industry I have developed will be ruined. ”
Cen Chunxuan suddenly realized, he was also wondering why Chen Baxian solemnly discussed the matter of land occupation with him, it turned out that the root was here. He was about to turn around and talk to Lord Chen again, but found that Lord Chen had already entered the shipyard. It would be a shame to ask for a meeting now.
Cen Chunxuan didn't want to humiliate himself, he pondered for a moment and said: "Yingyu, there are a large number of workers in your factory, if Chen Baxian forcibly occupies the land of the factory, you can let the workers come forward to stop it, in order to avoid provoking the people's rebellion, Chen Baxian should not dare to do anything wrong, right?" ”
Eagle Feather cried and said, "My lord, Chen Baxian dares to go against you unscrupulously, what else does he dare not do?" ”
Cen Chunxuan said coldly: "There are more than a thousand aborigines in your factory, if he dares to kill these aborigines." The official will definitely impeach him, and I believe that the court will not sit idly by. Chen Ba was arrogant and domineering, and the official was worried that he would not have a chance to deal with him, and it was best for him to be willing to send such a handle. ”
Ying Yu couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart, this was a great thing for Cen Chunxuan, but it was terrible for him. It is not easy for players to recruit NPCs, and many of the more than 1,000 NPCs in his base are technicians, and some of them are also skilled workers. He spent a lot of effort to recruit these NPCs, and if he let these people clamor to resist the forced conscription. Damn Chen Baxian will definitely order all of them to be slaughtered.
These NPCs under Eagle Feather are very important, and he can't afford to lose them, so he said with a straight face: "My lord, the workers under my command are all raised by my father's mother, and I can't bear to use them and watch them die." ”
Cen Chunxuan showed an appreciative look and said, "This official is also tempting you. It's rare that you have the heart to pity the people, so the official will try his best to be the master for you! If Chen Baxian dares to forcibly occupy your factory, you can come to the governor's yamen to complain, and this official will definitely accept it. ”
"If Chen Baxian still behaves recklessly after the trial of this official, you can go to Beijing to sue the royal court. I believe that the imperial court will not sit idly by. ”
Ying Yu finally put his mind at ease, he also felt that Cen Chunxuan's method was feasible, and the laws of the Qing Dynasty protected the interests of the squire. If Chen Baxian dared to forcibly occupy the land, he would first go to the governor's yamen to complain, and if the governor dealt with it after Chen Baxian came to mess around, then he could directly take the governor's token to Beijing to complain.
Eagle Feather quickly returned to the base area, and as he expected, Chen Hao was fighting his base idea. He and Ying Yu have long formed a big feud, and they will compete in Guangxi in the future, so he will not let go of any opportunity to deal with Eagle Feather. Under the banner of expanding the shipyard, it is a good way to start against Eagle Feather, as for how to implement it, there are too many classic cases to refer to.
The technicians from Cam Ranh Bay quickly came up with the shipyard renovation drawings, and according to Chen Hao's requirements, several important buildings in the Yingyu base area were all in the shipyard expansion range. Based on real-world experience, Chen Hao first sent an official letter to the owner of those buildings, Ying Yu, in the name of Admiral Yamen, informing him that the shipyard expansion needed to occupy the surrounding land, and asked him to relocate as soon as possible.
After receiving the official letter from the Admiral's Yamen, Ying Yu immediately went to the Governor's Mansion to find Cen Chunxuan and handed over the paper. Eagle Feather's reason was that he had purchased the land in advance and invested a million taels of silver dollars, and the Admiral Yamen of the Navy wanted to occupy it unreasonably, and begged the Governor to call the shots.
Cen Chunxuan quickly sent someone to send a post to the Admiral's Yamen, asking the Admiral to give an explanation, and the Admiral quickly replied that he was willing to compensate for the loss of Eagle Feather. Since Ying Yu said that he had invested a million taels of silver, the Admiral Yamen was also happy to win and lose so much money to him, but all those buildings had to be demolished.
Chen Hao didn't lose anything by doing this, Eagle Feather's command was an A-level command, plus many factories, worth far more than one million taels of silver. When Ying Yu complained, he said that it was worth one million just a general statement, but Chen Hao understood that his loss was one million, and directly expressed his willingness to compensate him for the loss of one million.
Cen Chunxuan didn't understand the value of Eagle Feather's base land, and when he heard that Admiral Yamen was willing to compensate one million taels of silver, he smiled and said: "Eagle Feather, Admiral Yamen is willing to compensate you so much silver, this matter is over, if they want to occupy that land, you let him occupy it!" ”
Ying Yu hurriedly said: "My lord, one million taels of silver is just a general statement, the value of my buildings far exceeds this amount, if Chen Ba occupies the grass people first, it will be over." (To be continued......)
