Chapter 102: Contact (Part II)

In the Lanfang camp on the bank of the Kun River, the leaders of all walks of life gathered together today, because the chief Liu Enguan had important matters to discuss with everyone.

In the largest bamboo building in the camp, the heads of people stood tall, and the leaders from Sanfa, Yamaguchiyang, Pontianak, Dongwanlu, Gaoping and others rushed over.

The soldiers and civilians of Lanfang, who were guarding here, felt that this meeting was extraordinary.

"Isn't this Zheng Zhengxin Zheng Chief, the three hairs he is in are not close to here."

Zheng Zhengxin, the leader of Zheng Zheng, who was talked about by the military and the people, is a fat man in his forties with a kind face, don't be confused by his appearance, the smiling tiger is his nickname. I saw this smiling tiger walking slowly, slowly walking into the venue, choosing a seat on the side and sitting down.

Within two minutes, another tall, thin middle-aged man with a gloomy aura walked over.

"The leader of Ye Tingfan Ye of Gaoping is also here."

This time, the voice of the person who spoke was much quieter, and this person was also a well-known name in Lanfang, but his reputation was obviously somewhat negative. Because he grows opium in Gaoping, and many of them are sold to his own people, he is an opium dealer, but there are many people who eat in his hands, and he can gather two or three hundred people at any time, which can be regarded as a tyrant in Gaoping.

Subsequently, Guo Yawei, Yu Kang, Huang Fuyuan, Chen Heer, Luo Sating, Lin Congee Tang and other leaders from Shankouyang, Pontianak, Dongwanlu and other places arrived one after another.

These leaders are all from all over the world, and they have their own sides, and it is rare for such a good student to get together, so they naturally started to move around when they took this opportunity.

"Leader Luo, I'm glad to meet you."

"Chief Chen, how are you doing?"

"It's not good, it's hard to do business."

"Who said no, don't look at my large number of people, but everyone is counting on me to eat, and now one head and two are big, and they are all about to die."

“……”

With the conversation of the leaders, there was a commotion in the venue for a while, and there was a smell of the vegetable market.

Of course, this situation continued until a shout rang out.

"It's always long."

With the appearance of Liu Enguan, the chief minister of Lanfang, with Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo, the venue immediately quieted down. The Liu family has served as the chief of Lanfang for decades, and its prestige is not a joke, although Liu Enguan has only served as the chief for more than a year, but with the strength that the Liu family has accumulated in Lanfang for many years, he can still dominate the audience.

To say more, this Liu Enguan's father was appointed by the Netherlands to make Lanfang Liu Shoushan of the Dutch Dependent Republic. However, compared with his father's compromise and begging for perfection, Liu Enguan's attitude towards the Dutch is different, and his attitude towards the Dutch is very tough.

Of course, this may have something to do with the Dutch opinion on the disposition of Lanfang, which was previously tacitly accepted by the Dutch as a vassal republic, and now they intend to turn it into a direct government. This seriously threatens the interests of the Liu family, and Liu Enguan, who is also the head of the family, will certainly not allow such a thing to happen. Of course, the main thing is that the Dutch don't want to leave benefits for the leaders of Lanfang at all, and they just want to sweep them all away.

After Liu Enguan sat down at the head of the representative chief, he spoke. "Let's get started."

As his words fell, Luo Yibo stood up. "Ladies and gentlemen, this time the chief has summoned you to discuss important matters. Everyone knows that now that the Dutch are overwhelmed, we have to resist it. However, the odds of victory against the Dutch are low on our strength alone, so the Chief-General has been trying to bring in another force to help us resist the Dutch invasion. Here's the good news that we've found forces that are willing to help us. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Yibo paused and said the answer. "The Italians, who reached out, were willing to protect us."

"Wait. You say that the Italians provide us with protection? ”

A voice suddenly appeared in the venue to interrupt Luo Yibo's words, and he saw a man dressed in black, with his hands on his chest and looking waiting for an answer.

Everyone knows this person, it is Guo Yawei, the leader of Guo Yawei from Sankouyang, this is not simple, he has a high prestige in Sankouyang, and he can gather five or six hundred men with just one order.

Facing Guo Yawei's words, Luo Yibo glanced at Liu Enguan, and he said immediately after receiving instructions. "Yes, you heard me right, I'm talking about Italy's all-round protection of Lanfang, not only externally, but also internally."

Luo Yibo's words were like a boulder falling into a lake and immediately setting off stormy waves.

"When we are Dutch, we can still take care of ourselves, and if we are Italians, we can take care of everything."

"Isn't that the same as the Dutch's conditions, and such conditions are acceptable?"

"Yes, if that's the case, what are we fighting for, it's better to let the Dutch call the shots, at least everyone knows about it."

"your cucumber, don't think that labor and management don't know that you and the Dutch are eye-catching, and tell you that as long as I, Chen Heer, live for one day, the Dutch will never be allowed to appear in Lanfang."

"Chen Ergou, you took the wrong medicine, you said that it was impossible for me to collude with the Dutch and do something to sell Lanfang, and besides, you also heard from others that your family was killed by the Dutch, and you didn't see it with your own eyes."

"Made, labor and management will clean up your traitor first."

"Chen Ergou, you ...... Oops......"

The venue was in chaos now, some stepped forward to try to pull Huang Fuyuan, Chen Heer and the two, and some were kind words and persuasions on the side, which was much more lively than the vegetable market.

"Smack."

A loud slap on the table brought all this to an abrupt end, and I saw the angry face of Liu Enguan, who was the chief minister. "What do you think of here, do you want me to give you two knives and let you share life and death."

After yelling at the leaders in the venue, Liu Enguan turned his head and said to his right-hand man. "Lu Er, you maintain order in the venue, if there are any more gibberish, throw them out to me."

"Yes, Chief."

"Yibo, if you continue, the focus will be on the conditions of the Italian people."

Luo Yibo, who spoke again, spoke about the conditions given by Italy. "I, Lanfang, have been incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy and have become the Italian Overseas Departments in the East, and our citizens are therefore automatically granted the national status of the Italian Overseas Departments. As a condition of the merger, the Republic of Lanfang will present to the Kingdom of Italy, the Census Register, the Trial Files, etc. The Italian side will train the current Lanfang officials, and then arrange positions according to their abilities. In addition, in terms of the military and police, the Kingdom of Italy will also give preference to people of this level in our country, and ......"

Luo Yibo Lin always said a lot of terms, but most of them were the benefits that Lan Fang could get after being incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy, and now only his voice was left in the venue, and every leader would listen attentively, afraid that he had missed something.

However, when he heard that Lan Fangyuan's citizens would be 20% higher than Italians in taxes in the future, there couldn't help but sound a commotion in the venue, but under Liu Enguan's gaze, it calmed down.

However, on the whole, the future Lanfang Chinese and Italians are much worse in terms of political rights, and in order to show their goodwill, Italy has also given many positions to appease them, only in terms of taxes, the Chinese are higher. It can be said that this condition is the most friendly condition for the Chinese in various regions of Nanyang, but there is a saying that it is good that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

Sure enough, after Luo Yibo finished speaking, the focus of the scene was on taxes.

"Why, our Chinese taxes are higher, two tiers higher than Italians, it's not fair."

The first to speak was Ye Tingfan from Gaoping, who saw that he looked indignant and seemed to have a lot of opinions about this article.

Since someone has come forward, then it is just right to take him under the knife, and President Liu, who is afraid of long nights and dreams, is not a good man and a woman.

"What, what is Leader Ye's opinion?"

"Chief, Gao Jian doesn't have it, the main thing is that he is unhappy in his heart. Why should the Italians pay two less layers, we have to pay two more layers. Also, what does that training mean, if it doesn't meet the wishes of the Chinese people, then it doesn't mean that the training will continue all the time. ”

If Ye Tingfan was to put forward opinions at the beginning, then there were some other signs later.

In the face of Ye Tingfan's provocative words, Liu Enguan smiled and said unusually kindly. "Then what do we mean by Chief Ye?"

"I think it's a waste of everyone's time to at least find the big guys to sum up, it's all negotiated, and then gather everyone?"

This is already a serious provocation, I don't know what medicine this Ye Leader took wrong, but now he can't be presumptuous.

I saw Liu Enguan looking at him with contempt and said casually. "You deserve it."

These fluttering four words made Ye Tingfan feel hot on his face, and he pointed with his hand when he felt that he had lost face. "The surname is Liu, what did you say?"

Without waiting for Ye Tingfan to continue speaking, Liang Luyi, who had already received the hint, took the two of them and pressed him to the ground.

Facing his uneven expression, Liu Enguan walked in front of him. "Don't think that you colluded with the Dutch, I don't know, I didn't move you for the overall situation before, since you jumped out by yourself now, then don't blame it."

After speaking, Liu Enguan turned his head to Luo Yibo and asked. "How should I be punished for colluding with outsiders and plotting against others?"

"Gouge out your eyes, three cuts and six holes."

This three-knife and six-hole is not three stabs on the limbs, but against the waist and chest and other torso, which can be said to be the death of the person who is stabbed.

Hearing Luo Yibo's words, Liu Enguan said to Liang Luyi, who was holding down Ye Tingfan. "Then let's do it."

As soon as he heard that Liu Enguan was going to kill him, Ye Tingfan was also a bachelor, and he scolded loudly. "Liu Enguan, you don't have to die, I'll wait for you below."

It was only after Ye Tingfan who was provoking trouble was brought down that Liu Enguan spoke to the others. "Now that we have disposed of Ye Tingfan, a traitor, let's continue the meeting. If you have any opinions, please put them forward, and I will listen to everyone's opinions. ”

Who can say what happened just now, and there can still be opinions on things at this time.

"I'm okay with that."

As the first person spoke, the rest was logical.

"I'm okay with that."

"Me too."

“……”

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Liu Enguan continued. "Since everyone has no opinion, then it is decided. However, considering that it is rare for everyone to get together, everyone will stay for a few more days and let me enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Liu Enguan explained. "In order to avoid the news of our merger with Italy, we have wronged everyone for a few days."

As soon as they heard that they were not going to be placed under house arrest, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

And also relieved Director Liu, you must know that Italy has also given a benefit, that is, the future deputy governor can have Lan Fang to fill the position, although this position will not have too much real power, but it is still tempting for Liu Enguan. Of course, if he wants to get this position, he needs to do something, and in order to avoid being disturbed by other people, he will settle these people here first.
