Chapter 164 Emergency Meeting

Although he had labeled Weisi as a martial arts idiot in his heart, Ye Guyun soon found that he still underestimated the former's enthusiasm for martial arts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When he successively demonstrated a few carefully selected martial arts that he thought were suitable for the other party's style, his apprentice, the eldest lady of the Ai Hillon family, said very kindly - let's not choose, learn them all!

Some were surprised, some were stunned, some were helpless, and some were crying and laughing...... In the end, Ye Guyun could only smile and say: It's good if you like it.

Anyway, he also wanted to see how a person could practice or even practice seven or eight profound martial arts at the same time, such as the Ground Sword, Dividing Mountain Jin, Xiushui Sword, Broken Flow Chop, and Wing Chun. I really haven't seen anything like that. If you can do it, count me as an eye-opener and you have a lot of ability! If you can't do it, hey, I'm afraid that you won't abandon your delusions, let go of your impetuousness, return to the right path, and practice them one by one in a down-to-earth manner?

As for dissuasion--forget it! Dissuade a martial idiot in the matter of martial arts training? Moreover, this martial idiot is still a noble girl who is still in the second stage of middle school? Ye Guyun knew with his toes how thankless this was! In this case, knowing that things cannot be done, why should he ask for hardships?

Anyway, for most of the morning, Ye Guyun has indeed been the most competent master, teaching routines, pointing to mistakes, sharing experience, transcribing cheats, and preparing props (you always need wooden stakes to practice Wing Chun?)...... Boasting unashamedly, it is really wholeheartedly, there is nothing to hide, selfishness, and meticulousness, so that it is beyond reproach!

Just when Ye Guyun thought that he would spend this day in greatness and nobility, Miranda led a man with a humble face to the small school field where they were.

"Master!" Miranda called softly, and gave a formal salute, although it had improved greatly, but because of the presence of outsiders, she still unconsciously showed her original overly shy posture, "This is the messenger of the Grand Duke." ”

"Messenger?" Ye Guyun didn't immediately pay attention to the messenger who came forward to bow to him, but walked straight to Miranda's side, stretched out his hand to pick up the little maid's face, and laughed, "Hey, my Miranda! You can promise, you can't just lower your head~!"

Miranda's pretty face, which was already pink, turned a little red, but there was no embarrassment in her eyes, only gentle and charming, she wanted to laugh, and subconsciously lowered her head, but her chin was picked by Ye Guyun's fingers, and in a hurry, she could only reply like a mosquito: "Got it." ”

"Huh?"

"Got it!" Miranda struggled to raise her tone, though it was quite gentle by the standards of others.

"Ahem!" Coughing lightly, Weiss interrupted the annoying flirtation, she pointed to the innocent embarrassed messenger, and said coldly: "Father has an urgent matter to invite you over to discuss, it seems that he is in a hurry, I hope to meet you immediately, lo and behold, he has prepared lunch for you, just waiting for you to come." ”

"Oh?" Ye Guyun couldn't help but be surprised, "Okay, I'll go over immediately." ”

"Very well, let's go. ”

"Oh yes, it's important to do something, you can't be without a woman...... Vice-Captain of the Guard. ”

............

Riding in a carriage and passing all the way, it didn't take long for you to enter the long-lost castle of Ashlon.

The meeting was still held in the Grand Duke's study, and when Ye Guyun pushed the door in, he met many old friends: Petrov, the financial advisor, Jogel, the director of the port department, Urdon, the head of the Crescent Knights, the Rondon, the garrison of Crescent City and the chief of justice, as well as the Grand Duke, Vocal, and Roch.

Crescent City X giants......

However, there is no political adviser Turansen and diplomatic envoy José, which is a little rare. In addition, Frank is also absent, and of course the reasons for his absence speak for themselves.

The round table used for the meeting had been temporarily replaced by a table, with sumptuous food and a wide variety of drinks, but the people sitting around had apparently not yet thought of eating, and were engaged in a heated discussion about the city's increasingly deteriorating law and order problems in recent times.

The expressions of other people have their own meanings, but the real excitement is the person directly involved in the question.

Mr. Rondon, who was in charge of the matter, was particularly excited at this time. If you don't see it in person, it's hard to believe that black face that looks like the bottom of a pot can show the color of blue and red. And his expressions and movements are so rich, sometimes he raises his eyebrows, sometimes gritted his teeth, sometimes roars angrily, and his fan-like hands frequently slap the table. This kind of performance can be regarded as quite a gaffe for a veteran martial artist who has been in a high position for a long time and has always been rigorous and self-controlled.

This is rare.

And Luo Qi, who assisted in this matter, did not look much better than Long Dong's face, but he was still able to maintain the demeanor on his face and did not spill his emotions excessively, but just had a gloomy face, leaned on the back of the chair, and clasped his hands speechlessly.

It can be seen that the problem of law and order has brought great trouble to these two managers.

Ye Guyun ignored these, he casually paced to the round table, found a seat at random, pulled out a stool and sat down, and didn't say anything, just picked up a nearby wine bottle, glanced at the emerald green wine in his eyes, smiled and then drank himself, and occasionally met someone's gaze, then nodded with a smile.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to arrive without attracting the attention of others. When Weiss also sat down, some people subconsciously looked at the Grand Duke, who coughed lightly, and took it upon himself to put an end to the discussion of public order that had not yet come to a conclusion: "Alright, put aside the other topics, now that everyone is here, it's time to start discussing our subject!" After a pause, he felt the need to add some emphasis, and then said, "But, in any case, Midwinter, Roche, you two must find a way to deal with the big and small matters of law and order!"

Big or small?

Ye Guyun frowned unconsciously. He thought of the two mass fights he had seen in the city in just a few days—especially the one last night, which was called violent and cruel without any scruples! He believed that the law and order problem in the city had reached a certain level, and it was necessary to make great efforts to deal with it strictly, rather than remaining in rhetoric and "finding a way to deal with it."

He felt that everyone in the room had misjudged the security situation in the city—at least not paying enough attention to it, and did not see the great risks lurking, and the terrible consequences brewing. But on second thought, these people are the natives of this world, they have been in high positions and have managed the city for a long time, they have the most real knowledge of the world and the most abundant first-hand governance experience, if they don't think this is a serious problem, and only themselves as visitors to the other world have this feeling, then, are they the wrong party?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate, after all, Ye Guyun still didn't express his opinion on the matter of public security. Immediately, he focused on another sentence, and his heart was confused, and he couldn't help but ask the Grand Duke, "Are you all here?"

"It's all right. The Grand Duke replied, "In fact, the absence of Turançon and José is one of the reasons for the urgent topic of our discussion today. ”

Ye Guyun nodded, and waited for the following, over there, Luo Qi, who had cleaned up his mood, took over the topic, replaced his father, and began to explain in detail: "Everything has to start with sugar." ”

"At present, our white sugar is processed from raw sugar purchased from various places, although the profit is still rich enough, but obviously there is still considerable room for improvement - we don't need to give the profit of raw sugar to others! Moreover, this raw material supply method is not stable enough, it is easy to be stuck, and it is not a long-term solution. After a pause, Roch added, "Considering the brewing and alcohol industries that must be launched......

That is to say, you who are not satisfied with only processing are ready to build a complete sugar industry starting from boiling sugar, and you must maximize profits with the healthiest industry model. Ye Guyun nodded and said, "This is normal, it must be so." ”

"Yes. "So Mr. José left Crescent City early with his mission, and the day after the first sugar mill was completed, he was going to connect us with a stable source of sugar cane." ”

Well, it's necessary. Sugarcane is the raw material of sucrose, which is the basis for the existence of the sugar industry, and without a stable source of sugarcane, there is nothing to talk about building a complete sugar industry. However, unchangeable objective facts limit Crescent City's access to sugar cane. It is important to know that sugarcane is a tropical and subtropical plant, and Crescent City or the entire northland is not suitable for cultivation and cannot be produced by itself, so it is necessary to find a place of origin for sugarcane from the warm south and import it in large quantities.

"Luo Qi, do you want me to praise you for your foresight and long-term vision?" Ye Guyun said jokingly, "Then, you have succeeded, and you are indeed worthy of praise—heh, the day after the completion of the first sugar workshop, you began to arrange the industrial upgrading behind you...... You are decisive enough, resolute enough, greedy enough, fierce enough!"

Profit is really a good thing, it can make people clear-headed, flexible thinking, and far-sighted.

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed—even Vokar, who never seemed to know what laughter was, and Vess, who was extremely stingy with smiles, curled the corners of their mouths.

"Alright, back to business. "Mr. José's first destination is Granshire in the west of the Republic, and of course we are more accustomed to calling it 'Kifushire' or 'Incense County', because it is famous for its abundance of incense—hehe, if it can be rich in incense, it must also be able to produce sugar cane and even cotton......"

Speaking of this, Luo Qi couldn't help but look at Ye Guyun, who once said that cotton is one of the several big killers that can change the times, he didn't understand, but he always remembered it.

Reclaiming his thoughts, Roche continued: "To the west of Kifo County is bordered by the Toguo Desert, and within the territory is a large alluvial plain, with flat and fertile land, a warm climate, abundant sunshine, and a large river running through it, and easy irrigation, and has always been a large agricultural county in itself. This place is definitely suitable for large-scale sugarcane cultivation, in fact, even now there is a large scale of sugarcane cultivation, and it is one of the main sugarcane producing areas in China. It is also close to the sea, and the rivers flow into it, which has given rise to a number of seaside/riverside cities with excellent harbors, and if we buy sugar cane from here, it will be convenient to ship it directly back to Crescent City by sea. ”

"It's a natural match with Crescent City. Ye Guyun couldn't help but comment.

"Haha! yes!" Rocchi laughed, "for a long time the two places have complemented each other, and we have to import a lot of grain from them every year, and they buy a lot of handicrafts from all over the northern continent from us. As a result, the Crescent Dominion and the Kiffordshire County Government have always had good relations, even at this time when our relationship with domestic politics is very delicate and sensitive. ”

"And I have a good personal relationship with Shalombas, the warden of Kifordshire!" said the Grand Duke.

"Shalombas?" The name made Ye Guyun confused for a while.

"Yes, Chalonbass. A black-faced Humpty Dumpty man who likes to wear white robes, is a rare big businessman in Kifu County, quite a good way of doing business, a lot of money, and a rich party. Later, somehow he had the idea of participating in politics, and as a result, he was elected the head of a county. The Grand Duke touched his beard and introduced with a smile, with a hint of banter and ridicule of his old friend in his tone and demeanor, and it seemed that he had a very good relationship with that Shalongbas.

The confusion in Ye Guyun's mind became even more serious: Is everyone named Shalombas this kind of image?

"What's wrong?, is there a problem?" Obviously, Ye Guyun's strange expression made the Grand Duke feel puzzled.

"Oh no, I just happen to have an old friend named Shalombas......" Ye Guyun replied embarrassedly, then turned to Rochi, "Please continue." ”

So Rocchi went on to explain: "Mr. José went directly to His Excellency Charombas, and made it clear that we had a huge demand for sugar cane, and hoped that Kifoshire would be able to help solve it. Thanks to the good relationship between the two sides, the agreement was quickly reached. In fact, they don't have any reason to refuse, this is an unplanned sky-high order that comes to the door, the profit is huge, the risk is not high, just like a mouthful of oil flowers full of fragrant and no bones, no need to worry about being knocked on the fat meat, no one will be stupid to shut up!

At this, Lotch couldn't help but laugh again, and a chuckle was all around him, and an optimistic outlook always brought joy easily, even if it was just a not-so-funny quip.

Interested, Rocchi reached out and picked up the bottle in front of him, poured a glass for himself, drank it all in one gulp, then exhaled happily, and then said: "Things are going well, soon we will have a stable source of sugar cane, just wait for the agreement to be signed and put into practice." However, this is a major cooperation agreement between the Dominion of Crescent City and the county government of Kifukushire, and it must be rigorous and solemn, and the other side has asked for a detailed meeting between the two heads of state before it is formally signed. Of course, the attitude of the other side was very positive, and in order to show his sincerity, Mr. Shalombas decided to come to Crescent City in person to complete the talks, accompanied by a large visiting delegation. Mr. Turansen was absent from the meeting precisely to welcome the delegation. ”

"Talk about!" said the Grand Duke, who had made a rare use of vulgar language in front of outsiders, and he was smiling, with a heavy banter in his smile, "That's just an excuse! The reason why that Chalonbas guy came to Crescent City is only for these two purposes: one is to avoid the county council that keeps troublesome for him!

Oh, the two paragraphs of father and son, so informative! What is about to be signed is a cooperation agreement between the two regional governments (not a purely commercial agreement), a large visiting delegation, and a poor relationship between the county guard and the county council......

With his mind racing, Ye Guyun pondered many things, but there was still a big question that he couldn't figure out, so he frowned and asked, "Since everything is so smooth, what is the purpose of this emergency meeting, and what is the reason why I have to show up?" He shrugged his shoulders, "Don't tell me, it's to study how to entertain the visiting group?"

That's exactly what I'm going to say next. Roche responded, "An emergency meeting, of course, is to discuss the emergency. And the emergency situation we are facing is that the visiting group is not only from Kifu County now!" Speaking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Ye Guyun with a meaningful gaze, "Among them, someone is specifically here for you. ”
