Chapter 340: Removal of Vacant Seats
"The mighty one, the righteousness of heaven and earth, the grand appearance. We hold great power in our hands and control the fate of tens of millions of people, so we should have the heart of Haoran, cultivate the spirit of Haoran, and take the responsibility of helping the world and helping the people. ”
Hua Yu's words were indeed majestic, but looking at the expressions of the other people, they didn't seem to agree.
Even Zhang Huaiyuan, who was closest to him, looked at Hua Yu with a slight gaze, for them, this was too high-sounding and meaningless.
Hua Yu, who knows that the lord of these forces is not a stupid idealist, is naturally not the only one who sounds like these words that can make many people's blood boil, he continued:
"However, there should be rules for this heavy responsibility. ”
Looking at Zheng Miao, Lin Wuyue, and Baili Huafeng, who had slightly cold eyes, Hua Yu smiled indifferently and said:
"I received the decree of the imperial court to take over the general inspection of Jianghuazhou, Huizhou, and Luozhou, and I will leave for office in the near future, but the foundation of my general inspection office is in Jianghuazhou, so I want to discuss some things with you before taking office. ”
Seeing that Zheng Mo wanted to open his mouth to speak, Hua Yu probed his hand and stopped slightly, and said:
"Brother Zheng wait a minute, wait until I finish, if Brother Zheng thinks there is anything wrong, let's discuss it again. ”
Zheng Mo stopped talking and said with a smile:
"Okay, then let's hear what Brother Hua has planned, haha. ”
Hua Yu is naturally not modest, and said:
"Jianghua Prefecture has always been a place of outstanding people, but there are many wars, and the reasons for this must be well known to you. The twenty transcendent forces will not allow another unified super force to appear in Jianghua Prefecture, but you all have the talent of the world, so you are willing to be trapped in this depression for the rest of your life?"
The Baili family is a kendo family, and the head of the family, Baili Huafeng, is of course one of the top swordsmen in the world, and his people are also like swords, cold as a sword, his eyes are staring at Hua Yu, and he said:
"You want to trick us into fighting them?"
The disdain in his tone was obvious.
The other people also had similar expressions, but Zhang Huaiyuan knew that Hua Yu was not a person who spoke in vain, so he didn't speak, but there were doubts in his eyes.
Hua Yu smiled indifferently:
"Confrontation? Why should we fight? With our strength, even if we really join forces, we will not be able to get benefits from them, but now that the relationship between the imperial court and them is like fire and water, it is a good time for us to reap the benefits from it. Can you see that our Jianghua Prefecture now has the opportunity to rise to the sky?"
"Opportunity, isn't the Lord of the Flower Mansion joking about us?" Lin Wuyue said with a cold look in his eyes.
How can the head of their family allow others to joke?!
As each of them controls a first-class power, their self-esteem and wisdom are all superior, if there is really the so-called opportunity to rise to the sky, how can they not know?
"The head of the Lin family is calm and impatient, wait for me to talk about it in detail. If a force wants to develop, it is inseparable from wealth, couples, law, and land, and for a long time, these four resources in Jianghua Prefecture have been distributed to the hands of major forces, and it is extremely difficult to develop again. And now, the canal will be open, coherent Quartet, as long as we make Yangzhou City the center of this coherent Quartet, countless resources naturally gather here, as the lord of a place, we can naturally get the moon near the water, not out of Yangzhou, you can also enjoy the benefits of the world. ”
Everyone present was a person of excellent ability, and they all had a vague understanding, but they were not clear.
Zheng Mo opened his mouth and asked:
"Brother Hua, what you said is indeed good, but how can we make Yangzhou City a coherent center?"
Others have the same doubts.
"Actually, it's not difficult, it's just that no one has thought about it before. Although there are no famous mountains and rivers in Jianghua Prefecture, it is a vertical and horizontal waterway, dense islands, and when the Grand Canal is navigable, Yangzhou as a water transport node in Jianghua Prefecture can directly penetrate more than ten states in the north. As long as the waterway is opened to the south and the Jingchu Mountains are opened to the west, Yangzhou will naturally become a hub connecting the north, west and south.
The waterway in the north has been built and sorted out by the imperial court, and now we have to do it ourselves by the waterway to the south and the land route to the west.
Of course, it is certainly not possible for everyone to pay in vain and then be enjoyed by others, so I would like to issue a decree that each family can build a road of its own choosing, and after completion, the General Inspectorate can be responsible for setting up checkpoints at the intersection of the state and collecting a fixed amount of tolls for cars and horses.
Each family can send someone to supervise, and all the fees collected are divided into three parts, two are the general inspection office, three percent are handed over to the imperial court, and five transactions are made by the lord who is responsible for the construction of this road.
In this way, as long as there are endless people coming and going to Jianghua Prefecture, each family will be able to reap the benefits for a long time, and there is no need for me to say more about the benefits.
What do you think?"
Everyone present was silent for a while.
What Hua Yu said had a big impact on them, and they had to think about the pros and cons.
Only Shui Aoyun reacted the fastest, and had to look at Hua Yu with admiration and admiration, he had seen the ins and outs of it.
This is a conspiracy above board.
He believed that as long as these lords of power were not fools, it was impossible to refuse.
And as long as they don't refuse, then they can only be tied to the General Inspection Office, or tied to Hua Yu.
If the soldiers are bloodless, Jianghuazhou will be in their hands.
Shui Aoyun thought to himself that he really hadn't been able to have such means and vision.
Zhang Huaiyuan looked at Hua Yu, he also understood the Tao, Hua Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and bowed his head slightly.
The meaning is obvious, he will not pit the wind dart game.
The others recovered from their contemplation and looked at each other slightly, all understanding each other's decision.
Zheng Mo said:
"Brother Hua gave us a big surprise, I can't think of it, I have to say I admire!"
Hua Yu smiled:
"I only had this idea after I became the chief inspector, everything is created by the times, and if you are also in this position, you may have a better idea. So, let's settle this matter and discuss it later, do you still have any questions?"
They are all masters of everyone, and in dealing with people of the same level, they will not do capricious things.
Something that almost affects the world was determined in such an ordinary conversation.
"This matter has been decided, so please move to Haoranju now, and the banquet should begin. Hua Yu said.
Zheng Mo got up first and laughed loudly:
"Haha, let's go, speaking of which, I only attended such a grand banquet when I was young, and twenty or thirty years have passed, but I didn't expect to have this opportunity today. ”
Who has never been young, but now they are all in high positions, with heavy power in their hands, and they are entangled in all kinds of mundane things, so how can they still have the mind of feasting.
Young memories, they all have feelings.
Even Baili Huafeng, who was indifferently like a sword, had his face softened a lot.
It was almost noon, and it was already quite lively in the center.
Rows of small maids shuttled through the room with tea and fruit snacks, and kept serving them to the guests.
There were not many guests invited to the banquet, except for the other four giants of the Haisha Gang, and there were less than fifty people from the forty-seven counties of the nine counties of Jianghua Prefecture.
Eight large tables are neatly placed in the open space in the middle of the wide and bright Haoran, the sun is shining, the shade of the trees is faint, and most of the people who come to the banquet are familiar with each other, so they naturally gather at the same table to chat.
But there are also enemies who show murderous intentions when they meet, but they are all extremely restrained.
Although the people in the audience chatted happily with each other, their attention never left the entrance point.
When Hua Yu and the Lord of the Four Giants, as well as Shui Aoyun, walked in, everyone stopped talking and looked over.
Hua Yu's eyes swept away, forty-nine people came, and seven people who were invited did not come, and these seven families were directly crossed out of Hua Yu's mind.
Looking at the guests who got up to greet each other one after another, Hua Yu said with a smile:
"You've been waiting for a long time, please take a seat. ”
The maid led a few people to the table at the top, and Zheng Mian and the others naturally did not surrender their identity to the same table with others.
After everyone was seated, Hua Yu directly commanded:
"Remove all the empty seats. ”
The guard in charge of acting as a small servant was stunned for a moment, and then immediately quickly removed the seats and chopsticks that were still free.
The positions under the seven voids are quite clearly revealed.
This subordinate Ma Wei is very abrupt and shocking.
Domineering to the extreme.
The people in the audience were somewhat dissatisfied, and looked at Hua Yu with a gloomy face.
There are also people who look directly at Zheng Miao, or Lin Wuyue, or Baili Huafeng, or Zhang Huaiyuan.
But all four of them had calm faces and did not say anything.
These people naturally understood very easily that the four bosses had reached a tacit understanding with this mansion master.
Dozens of people exchanged vague glances, shocked and puzzled, but they all remained silent.
However, there were still hot-tempered people who jumped out directly and glared at Hua Yudao:
"The Lord of the Flower Mansion is too domineering with such an attitude, what do you think of us people, subordinates who come and go as soon as you call?!"
Hua Yu swept towards this person lightly, with a burly figure, an ordinary face, and bulging eyes, and said:
"You are Wu Renxing, the head of the Wu family in Ning'an County, Chen Shi'an, who didn't come to Donglai County, is your brother-in-law, are you unhappy for him?"
Wu Renxing's face froze, he didn't expect Hua Yu to know him so well, and he couldn't help but weaken a little bit of momentum.
"Chen Shi'an and I are brothers-in-law, but what I said is for all of us, not all selfish. ”
The more he spoke, the more reasonable Wu Renxing became, and his voice couldn't help but rise.
It's just that he doesn't know about Huayu.
Or rather, he's too stupid.
