Chapter 641: Dagang Reform (9)
The city government has included the surrounding houses, forming a government affairs building, where the personnel of various bureaus are working, and there is a police station nearby, and now there is a squadron of cavalry and more than 20 policemen, forming a police station in the new district of the government, responsible for the security of this area, and in the future, there will be a garrison of the victorious army here, the government is an important place, and it must be strictly protected.
Today, the government building is full of the so-called fame and wealth in Dagang, some people, even if the catastrophe can't change their superior status, just like the three old people sitting in the middle, they look like they are all over seventy, but they are well maintained, they are the local rich, the world's famous businessmen, even if their property is reduced by less than one percent of the previous one, but they are still rich and outrageous, let's just say that their private treasures are William can not let go.
Gold, silver, jewelry, pearls, these things, is William came to Dagang has been committed to looting, although he does not know the specific storage of huàn bracelets, but he has been the director of the Department of Commerce for so long, the long-term flow of accounts, if you can't see the clues, it will not be worthy of the name of the seven heroes of Liaozhong, he once asked Chen Ang, Chen Ang just vaguely said that this is Li Yang's secret, but since then, he knows that the growth of the Northeast Army, these jewels are the top priority, Otherwise, it would be unclear from the source of the 70,000 military and civilian war horses sent out by the Department of Health Management. Please, there are a lot of foals running everywhere in Qinglin now, but how can horses be ridden by two or three years old?
Not to mention the ammunition and medicines that have been consumed in the war.
So, he doesn't need to be particularly clear, he just needs to ship the jewelry he can get back to the Northeast, that's right.
But after all, he came too late, Dagang has been closed and self-made for more than a year, the public gold building, silver building or something has been looted almost, those small households handed in the jewelry is only a fraction, more is still in the hands of these big households, and a large part of it is not willing to hand over, only these people take the lead in handing over, in order to achieve the real whole territory of gold, silver and jewelry into the bag, and transported back to the Northeast, in exchange for currency, Li Yang in order to strictly control the currency, this time the Dagang Special Economic Zone did not get the right to mint.
When these people were talking to each other, a woman with a charming body was wearing the officer uniform of the Victorious Army, and walked into the venue without wearing a military rank, found a place in the first row and sat down, took out a notebook and said nothing.
But this woman is really tasteful, not to mention being tall, that figure, with this military uniform, is absolutely amazing.
"Uncle Shi, this meeting must be for us to set an example and hand over all our net worth, what kind of charter is this, you will always inform us, and we also have a bottom in our hearts."
The bald old man, one of the three elders, not only has no hair on his head, but he doesn't even have eyebrows and beard, but he has a momentum that is not angry and arrogant, and the large birthmark on the top of his head is shocking.
The bald old man opened his eyes slightly, and said: "The Li family should be defeated, why are you such a person left, you can rest assured that you will be a rich man, follow us closely, why do you ask so much?" ”
This fat man has retreated, and he can still eat as a fat man in a non-northeastern place, which shows that his family has a strong background.
A middle-aged man next to him glanced at the fat man with disdain, and said: "Old Li and the second eldest of the Li family are both outstanding people, why didn't they survive, but this person who is nothing is alive." ”
"Shut up, no matter how he is, he is the current family of the Li family, and the background of the family is not comparable to your Chen family, step down."
Another old man with white hair and a hat scolded, turned to the bald old man and said, "Li Dayin is our son and nephew, you should be polite to him." Be careful to raise a rebellious heart. ”
The bald old man looked at Li Dayin, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, vigilantly, and said with a smile: "He won't." Just eat and drink, if you don't go with us, can he keep the little things he has in the Li family? ”
The old man in the hat was just about to speak, when the door was pushed open, and William walked in in a well-cut suit, followed by two people, sitting on the side and preparing to record.
William looked at the people in the room with a smile, Lu Yangsheng and Wang Mofu have completely surrendered to the Northeast Army, and they are at ease as their merchants, and they have all the secrets in the Dagang area, as long as those superficial officials remove their ruling foundation, it is easy to deal with, the Dagang Army has been banned, they have become tigers without teeth and claws, and they are just slaughtered by others, the real power of Dagang is these deep-rooted families, if Dagang is not recaptured, they don't have much power, but now they live in Dagang City, it is no exaggeration to say, Together, these people own half of the wealth of the port, especially gold, silver and jewelry, which accounts for more than half.
After investigation, there are no more than 30 families in size, and there is such a force, I have to say that they are really a century-old family.
But William will not be afraid of them, not to mention that the squadron of capable people of the special service team who listened to Li Wen's orders is the newly recruited local capable people, and the number is more than they control.
In the face of absolute strength, they are nothing, but they do need to take the lead in handing over gold, silver and jewelry, and pay some materials.
Xianwen, can save a lot of things.
"You are all the virtuous and wealthy people in Dagang City, I am admired, and there is no meaning of bullying, I am an American, I speak more straight, let's say directly, today, is the government needs to use the market price to buy all kinds of gold and silver products, diamonds and jewelry in your hands, this is a mandatory expropriation, soon Dagang will introduce the regulations that private ownership of more than a certain amount of gold and silverware, this Dagang City is so big, there is a lot of gold and silver, I want you to set an example, take the lead in responding to the government's call, of course, as a respect, I am in chargeNo matter how much you give, our government will give more than one percent as a gift. ”
The old man, who had been pretending to sleep and dyed black hair, finally opened his eyes, and said with a hard smile on his face: "Your Excellency Mayor is polite, we are not stubborn people, and we also agree to hand over our gold and silver products, but the market price is a little inappropriate, and we do not take advantage of the government. ”
William didn't look at the old man with a smile on his face, but looked at the other two: "Do you two also have the same meaning as Elder Wang?" ”
The bald old man and the white-haired old man with a hat said calmly in their cloudy eyes: "Wang Shao's meaning is the meaning of our ten families, and we are ten families."
William said coldly: "What you ten families mean is the meaning of the rich people in Hong Kong and the people of Hong Kong, yes or no?" ”
After no one spoke, William's cold and shuddering gaze glanced at the people in the room, and then said coldly: "Add two percent to the market price, this is the last price I give you, and it is also an ultimatum, give you five days to think, I hope that the people who have considered it will come to the government to find me directly and dismiss the meeting!" ”R1148
