The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 425 Chu's Overseas Concessions

The final result of the negotiations came to an end with Dahan's concession and the signing of three port concession contracts.

Obviously, it is impossible for the big man to accept a war on two fronts, and now is not a good time to start a war against Anxi or Da Chu.In particular, the latest information shows that Nan Jiyun has led elite troops to prepare at the border of Yunzhou, and may cross the border to fight at any time.

Compared with direct war, loss of territory, or even destruction of the country, the two concessions are insignificant.Besides, it's just a lease, and the sovereignty is still in the hands of the big man, but if you look at the contract, you know what the big man lost.

"Chu is allowed to station 500 troops in the concession area, to store military supplies, and to form offshore patrol fleets... Is this to treat the coast of our big Han as their coast of Chu?" Liu Xie directly threw down the contract. .

In the first place, Yang Xiu and Jiang Jiong stood there silently. This matter is not heading for the worst. People in this era do not have much awareness of the country, and they have no concept of concessions.Losing face at most, but it has nothing to do with them. The one who really loses face is nothing but the royal family.

The three cardinal principles and five constant principles, the country is the royal family's country, they are just a group of officials who help manage the country, and may even become the new royal family's backup.But before that, this country does not belong to them, so no matter what happens in this country, it has nothing to do with them or their family, and they will not pay attention until the interests of their own family are damaged.

The reason why the royal family and relatives would jump out the first time when encountering a problem is actually because of this reason.The country is harmed, their interests are the first to be harmed, so they have to jump out, that's all.Under this premise, as long as their interests are not harmed, even the relatives of the royal family will just sit back and watch the direct line of the royal family lose face.

"That's all?" Liu Xie finally calmed down, and he found that his complaints were meaningless.

"The murderer must be handed over, and compensation will be paid at the same time." Yang Xiu said slowly, obviously the Yang family must pay for it.A little bit of blood, but compared to the value of the two medium-sized maritime merchant ships captured, these are insignificant, "The Yang family will come forward to compensate!"

"Then let's do this first!" Liu Xie leaned on the dragon chair slumped, and could only accept this result at this stage.The people below have reported the entire process of the meeting, including the dialogue between the two parties.

It cannot be said that Yang Xiu and Jiang Jiong are incompetent, it can only be said that the other three are too eloquent.The key is that the big man is weak now, so he is directly controlled by the opponent, otherwise he will have more chips, and he will have to fight for more.

"It is necessary to quickly strengthen the army, and immediately send people to contact the Anxi Kingdom, hoping to increase the scale of trade! The commercial firms going to Yunzhou should also send more cotton, etc., to appropriately expand the planting scale, weave it into cotton cloth and transport it there, and at the same time carry out technical Improve and weave cotton cloth better, and we must compare with the cotton cloth of Chu State!" Liu Xie immediately issued an order, and it is not difficult to see that he is becoming more and more mature now.

"If you need to improve quickly, I'm afraid you need to increase investment in this area. Otherwise, if you let the people do their own research, I'm afraid it will take a long time." Xun Yu stepped forward. The loyalty of the Han Dynasty made him stand out among many colleagues.

"Then pay it out of the internal funds!" Unlike Shihui's establishment of a royal firm, or even a private Royal Academy of Sciences, Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he regarded the entire Han Dynasty as his own business.

After all, he seems to have not realized the concept of 'the country is the country, and the royal family is the royal family', or in other words, he has been influenced by the long-term influence of 'Is it the land of the king', and he may also be worried about 'competing with the people for profit'.

According to the lease contract, one concession is set up on the east coast of India, two on the west coast, and three ports respectively.The area is not too big, only 15 square kilometers, which is really small compared to the 22 square kilometers of the ancestors of later generations.

As soon as the contract was signed, the navy immediately entered the port, took the copy of the contract and began to divide the area, and then built the military dock.About 30 male and female workers from Yunzhou boarded the ship immediately, followed the fleet to India, and then entered the three concessions.The concession requires a lot of labor for construction, such as shipyards, docks, fortresses and the like.

Many military buildings, even buildings that may involve secrets, cannot be built by outsiders.

The local officials are actually the most helpless, they have not received the notification from above at all, but when the navy pointed at them with bed crossbows, and then hundreds of Marine Corps members stared at them, most of the officials chose to keep their mouths shut .

Some even welcomed Da Chu to build here. After all, many subsequent purchases of materials were directly carried out locally. Many people relied on selling materials to Chu, mainly building materials, and made a fortune.

It was not until July 200 AD that the initial construction of the three military ports was completed, and Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, officially issued an order to let them cooperate with the army of the Great Chu and divide the concession area at the same time.

At the same time, according to the regulations, there is no garrison in the concession area, but there are armed police patrols.Considering that the weapons of these policemen are not that advanced, and the policemen don't look that elite, Liu Xie gritted his teeth and agreed to this request.

"You did a good job. I didn't expect to get justice for the sea merchants without a single soldier. The key is that there are three more concessions!" Shi Hui also received the news at this time, and reported it at the same time. The official document sent back by the governor of the state stated that he had mobilized 30 laborers and [-] armed policemen to rent land in the past.

"Yan Song is quite sensible, it's because he is so sensible, let's transfer him back next year!" Shi Hui looked at the reply letter and nodded. Xiao Chuo also praised him earlier, and his behavior now gives him extra points , "After Yan Song was transferred back, Cai Jinglai was appointed governor of Yuezhou. He has done a good job in Yunzhou in the past few years."

It was about three years ago, and it was idle anyway. Shi Hui held a banquet every three months, or ordinary recruitment, and now the minimum recruitment starts at the bronze level, and the whiteboard has disappeared.Even thirteen or fourteen-year-old women, most of them have bronze-level abilities, perhaps because of the influence of his vigorous promotion of education.

If you look carefully at the current roster of Dachu officials, you will find that there are more than [-] outstanding female officials in it, many of them are local talents, most of them come from aristocratic families, or they are originally outstanding talents.There are also a dozen of them who came from poor families, and from the perspective of a traveler, they will see the name of Qinhuai Liuyan.

Liuyan, after all, Chen Yuanyuan has already passed away.Originally, Shi Hui thought that Chen Yuanyuan from other planes might be recruited, but so far he hadn't seen it. Maybe if there was a Chen Yuanyuan, then he wouldn't be recruiting from other planes, right?Even if it's just a template character!
Cai Jing, Hong Chengchou and others were also recruited one after another at that time, such as Xu Ning, Hua Rong and others were also recruited at that time.

"It's a pity that the big man is too sensible, otherwise, I will occupy the area of ​​Bangladesh." Shi Hui suddenly sighed regretfully, Liu Xie has matured a lot these years.

"Your Majesty, our current main direction is to send troops to station in the original area of ​​the Guishuang Empire." Liu Bowen reminded that this Majesty's desire for land is too strong.Although there is no shortage of population, many refugees can be recruited every year, but is it really good to expand the territory so much?How can such a large territory be managed?For example, this time, it took a month to know what happened!
