Chapter 543: Doing Bad Things with Good Intentions (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Recommending Tickets)
"This old dog is really a deception!"
Until she left the Prime Minister's Mansion and boarded the spaceship, Yang Yueqi was still angry and said angrily:
"I'm about to retire, and I'm still so suspicious! I knew that he was such a virtuous person, so we shouldn't have come here tonight! ”
Lan Ya's expression was a little dignified, and she said cautiously: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, that old guy's words are not falsehoods and threats, but they really have the potential to become a reality!" ”
Xiao Junling's expression tightened: "You mean that he will really initiate a proposal at the Great Consul Council and then put it to a vote?" ”
"In the past, there was indeed such a precedent in history!" Lan Ya said,
"If the archons really felt the need, they would surely pass such a resolution! At that time, I am afraid that even the appearance of the Great Sage will be difficult to change the result! ”
Xiao Junling said lightly: "Then this proposal must be able to enter the voting process and pass it!" No matter how powerful Wu Chenyu is, he still only has one vote, and he has to get at least four archons to echo his opinion! to get your wish! ”
"This is not certain, what if he fights to pay some price, he must have a hard time with you?" Lan Ya said with some concern,
"You've just offended this old guy by going against him like this! This situation is entirely possible! ”
Xiao Junling thought for a while and said, "Okay then! I'll go and meet Wei Qinghao's father to see what he has to say, and you can go and talk to the teachers and them, and then prepare a copy of all the overseas territories of the Wu family for me, since he dares to make a mistake. Then you have to be aware of paying the price! ”
Lan Ya jotted down his request. The ship was diverted halfway. sent him and Yang Yueqi to the Grand Consul's mansion. Return to the Temple of the Silent Star.
In the restaurant, Wei Zhenhua was unhurriedly fiddling with the bartending utensils in front of him, and when he saw Xiao Junling who came in behind Wei Feifei, he couldn't help laughing:
"I thought I would have to wait a while, but I didn't expect you to come here so soon! It seems that Wu Chenyu's old guy is even more excessive than I imagined! ”
“…… Do you know all about it? Xiao Junling was slightly stunned, and then relieved. As the biggest spy leader in the Huaxia Empire and even in the entire Xinghai Shilu Realm, if he doesn't even know what happened on his own territory, he might as well just go home and farm!
Wei Feifei motioned for them to sit down at the table. Then he asked the maids to bring the dishes one by one.
Xiao Junling looked at the dishes, basically they were all the types he liked, and even the types of red wine and tableware styles were arranged according to his preferences.
The daring consul not only knew about his trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet, but even guessed the outbreak of conflict and the possible threat that Wu Chenyu might have, and predicted that he would inevitably come to visit and ask about countermeasures, so he was ready early!
Just from these details, you can see how powerful this archon from the people really is! There are really no characters who can be on top, and none of them are simple goods!
Wei Zhenhua picked up his wine glass and said, "No matter what the problem." Let's fill our stomachs first! Don't worry, Wu Chenyu's little bit of Taoism is okay. Can't afford to make a lot of waves! ”
"With you, I really don't have to worry about anything!" Xiao Junling smiled and complimented, and together with Yang Yueqi, began to concentrate on dealing with the dishes in front of him.
After dinner, several people entered the study, Xiao Junling told what had happened, and then asked, "If he really put forward such a motion, will it be voted on?" ”
The archon was silent, and Wei Feifei, who was beside him, spoke: "In the past history of China, there are indeed such precedents, and there are many more!" For example, more than thirty years ago, the Kuimu Yuan Star Domain levy decree! ”
Located on the northeastern border of the Empire, the Kuimu Yuan Star Domain hangs outside the traditional borders of the Empire, but close to the border! It is an important place with an extremely critical geographical location!
At that time, this star field belonged to a great lord, and it had been fought for less than a hundred years, which did not meet the usual standards for overseas territories!
However, at that time, the empire and the alien civilization Ramslon Alliance were about to go to war, and this star field must be integrated into the entire star defense system! Therefore, after discussion, the Council of Great Archons decided to initiate a special procedure to expropriate that star field at a standard of double the average market price!
"In the past cases, it was worth starting the early expropriation procedure at the Council of Great Archons, basically because the geographical location was too important, or because of the overall consideration of economic and administrative planning and layout!" Wei Feifei explained,
"Your Biluo Galaxy is too far away from the known Star Sea Realm, so neither of these reasons is tenable! The only thing that can be used to make a fuss is the many precious resources in the galaxy! ”
"But most of the resources you brought back were sold to the Imperial authorities and the Temple of the Silent Star, so this reason is also unreliable!"
Xiao Junling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Since this is the case, then this proposal will definitely not pass?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Wei Zhenhua Road,
"Since Wu Chenyu dares to bring it up, he must still have a certain degree of certainty! So you can't take it lightly, and you can't do anything less......"
In this way, Xiao Junling talked with the archon for nearly two hours, including the matter of the eldest grandson Qingkong, the development of the situation at home and abroad, and the issue of next year's high-level change of the empire, etc.!
Afterwards, Wei Feifei sent them out of the door, and then returned to the Temple of the Silent Star on the archon's ship.
The next day, another meeting of the military on the bidding project for the procurement of warships was held as scheduled!
This time, Xue Cangyun and Yang Yingxuan were both present and personally supervised the entire meeting process! The final result was as expected, the huge order of four reorganized legions and as many as 1.2 million warships, the Xuanyuan family and the Qin family were divided by sixty percent!
Because of Xiao Junling's promise, the Yun family got an order for 150,000 ships this time, the Li family got 120,000 ships, and the rest of the orders went to several other smaller manufacturers.
But unlike several others, the Li family's orders were obtained at the expense of all their own profits, or even at a loss!
Due to the lack of access to cheap raw materials. They are not allowed to choose alternative materials with high prices. As a result, the production cost of a single ship far exceeds that of those few! Basically, it's working for the military for free. I have to pay the labor cost upside down, and I can't even recover the R&D cost!
It's just that for the current Li family, making money is already a secondary issue, and the top priority is to maintain the family's battleship market share first! At the same time, we will concentrate a lot of manpower and material resources to develop new materials!
After Xiao Junling met the Great Sage in Jin, he seized the time to visit the heads of the wealthy families one by one, and they all said that they would use their family connections to interfere with and stop Wu Chenyu's actions.
Of course, during this period, the strength of the Li family faction was not idle. They have sent envoys to lobby among many bigwigs, promising all kinds of benefits, and striving to get more recognition for their ideas!
On the morning of the third day, at the regular meeting of the archons, the Imperial Prime Minister unsurprisingly came up with his own carefully prepared proposal, citing the great value of the Biluo Galaxy to the Empire, requesting the initiation of a special expropriation process to turn this cornucopia-like galaxy into the legitimate territory of the Empire!
It's just that such an unreasonable proposal was refuted by many archons on the spot, and in the end, it didn't even enter the voting procedure, and it was directly "killed"!
on the sixth planet. Qin Yayu's garden.
Xiao Junling, who was chatting with his teacher, saw the message sent by Wei Zhenhua on the light brain. Finally put my mind at ease.
"According to the practice of the Empire, if the same proposal is to be submitted to the Council of Great Consuls for consideration and vote again, it will have to wait at least half a year later!" Qin Yayu explained with a smile,
"And at that time, the period of change of the top level of the empire is approaching, and the minds of many big people will not be in this regard, so you don't have to worry about anything at all!"
Xiao Junling nodded, and said, "I plan to set off back to the Biluo Galaxy tomorrow!" Then bring back a new batch of resources there, plus the time spent there, it is estimated that it will take about a month to go back and forth, and then it will be just in time for the end of the midterm elections in Congress and the time for the new members of parliament to meet with the public! ”
"That's right! But ......" Qin Yayu stared at him for a while, and suddenly smiled:
"I almost forgot an important thing, since I am a public figure, I can't ignore my own image! It's too late now, and when you come back from there, arrange a few top image design teams for Shide to plan for you! ”
Image design is not only the patent of celebrities, but also those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who are in high positions and have great influence will also need this kind of service! Most of them will have senior image consultants and experts, from personal body shape, hairstyle, makeup, clothing styles, accessories, personality elements, psychological elements, cultural accomplishment and so on, to provide the most professional guidance!
Xiao Junling didn't care much about this, but since she had decided so much, it was nothing for her to agree.
After talking about business, the topic of the two of them was much more relaxed. Looking at the teacher's plump and bewitching figure, his heart was ready to move again.
As soon as Qin Yayu saw his fiery eyes, she understood what bad idea this guy was playing again, she glanced at him coquettishly, stretched her waist slightly, and leaned lazily on the couch.
This kind of acquiescence could not be clearer, Xiao Junling naturally understood, walked over and sat down on the edge of the couch, gently hugged her in his arms, and kissed the charming and seductive red lips.
The two of them warmed up for a while, and Qin Yayu was gradually provoked, and the jade arm suddenly exerted force, and the anti-guest was the main thing, pressing him under him......
In the distance, among the flowers, two pairs of large bright eyes were staring at their strange behavior without blinking.
"What are mom and brother doing?" Qin Xiyan asked her sister with some doubts.
Qin Xiyao rubbed her little face at a loss, and said blankly, "How do I know the Dao?" It doesn't seem like they've done this kind of thing once or twice! And every time you have to find an excuse to break us apart, huh! ”
Qin Xiyan blinked and said, "I always feel that this shouldn't be a good thing!" Otherwise, why would they avoid us? ”
"Hmmm! That's how it should be! Sister Qin Xiyao looked at it for a while and said:
"But I think it seems that my brother made it up, and he seems to be bullying his mother! I really didn't expect him to be so bad! ”
"Really?" Qin Xiyan quietly stretched out her little head this time, looked at it seriously for a while, shook her head and said:
"I don't think so! Mom is so powerful, who can bully her? Speaking of which, I think she should be bullying her brother! ”
"Hmmm! That's just as well! When Qin Xiyao heard this, she felt that what her sister said made sense, and she couldn't help but get a little angry:
"How can Mom do this? My brother was her student, and she shouldn't have done this to him! We'll bring it up to her next time! ”
Qin Xiyan said a little discouraged: "Don't be delusional! How could Mom listen to us? It is estimated that she will scold us directly, and then be grounded for three days! That's what she did when we weren't doing our homework before! ”
"Then you can't do nothing, right?" Qin Xiyao waved her small fist a little unhappily,
"That's our brother, how can he be bullied by his mother like this? No way! We've got to figure out how to come out! ”
The younger sister wrinkled her nose, frowned and thought for a while, and her eyes lit up: "There is!" ”
"What's the solution? Come and hear it! Qin Xiyao hurriedly asked.
Qin Xiyan said: "This is not simple? In the future, as long as my brother comes over, we will always stay by his side and protect him! Don't let mom have a chance to bully him! What do you think? ”
"This method is good, but my mother will definitely be angry......" Sister Qin Xiyao hesitated.
Qin Xiyan was a little annoyed: "Then you can't bear to watch our brother being bullied?" It's a big deal to be scolded by her, what's so scary? ”
"This ...... All right! Qin Xiyao gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind:
"That's fine! In the future, as long as he comes, we will always guard him! Never let him and his mother have a chance to be alone! (To be continued......)
