Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhou Shumo is a capable official.

He once went abroad for inspection with five ministers, and after returning he was promoted step by step.

He petitioned for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, but of course, like others, the petition ended in nothing.

Training troops, establishing schools, establishing industries, adjusting and recruiting farmers, setting up banks, etc., may sound cliché, but there may not be many frontier officials who can do it well.

Zhou Shumo is considered one of the best.

After hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words, Zhou Shumo's heart beat rapidly, but he pretended to be serious and asked: "What kind of industry?"

What Zhao Chuanxin values ​​​​is the advantage of Longjiang Prefecture as the provincial capital and the Guangxin Company that Zhou Shumo is reorganizing.

Guangxin Company is a money management bureau jointly established by the government and businessmen. Zhou Shumo also adjusted official funds, rents and taxes. He required that these must be paid with the official subsidy issued by Guangxin Company.

Official stickers are banknotes in units of hanging coins, which the common people call Ha Dayang. Because Zhou Shumo forcibly linked it to the payment of various taxes and public funds, Ha Dayang's popularity has gradually surpassed that of Xian Dayang. After all, it is portable.

This idea is the same as Zhao Chuanxin.

Banknotes will promote local agricultural and commercial transactions and make trade more developed.

But this is not what Zhao Chuanxin values. What he values ​​​​is Guangxin Company's ability to transport bulk grains, which can be called a primitive logistics company.

The Lubin Prefecture and the Dongqing Railway are in a stalemate. Even though Tsarist Russia appears to be subdued on the surface, it can actually cause obstacles for the Lubin Prefecture secretly.

But Zhou Shumo was different. Although he argued hard for territory and Tsarist Russia, he adhered to the will of the Qing court and adopted an attitude of "treating Russia with peace and firmness" towards Tsarist Russia.

Zhao Chuanxin's plan requires the help of Guangxin Company's logistics and transportation capabilities.

On the one hand, he wants to issue banknotes to compete with Ha Dayang of Guangxin Company, and on the other hand, he also needs to use his strength to make good calculations.

But Zhou Shumo didn't know.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I want to open a company in Longjiang Prefecture, called Xingyue Media Company. This is a chain industry."

Song Xiaolian was confused: "What is that?"

"It is a magical heavenly road that can bring the warmth of the world to the bitter cold frontier."

Song Xiaolian: "..."

Tired.

Zhou Shumo was suspicious: "Can Xingyue Company make up for the tax deficit of Lubin Mansion?"

"More than that?" Old God Zhao Chuanxin said: "The tax payment is considerable, and at the same time it can help Longjiang Prefecture promote local industry. In the end, Old Zhou, you will gain more."

Having said that, Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: To promote the logistics industry, we must also strangle your financial institutions.

If he succeeds, Zhao Chuanxian will monopolize the financial industry of the entire Heilongjiang Province and even the three provinces outside the customs.

Longjiang Prefecture may not suffer any losses, but Japan and Russia, which are domineering in the three provinces outside the customs, will definitely feel uncomfortable.

But neither Zhou Shumo nor the senior officials of Japan and Russia could have predicted Zhao Chuanxin's next outrageous move. It can be said that the whole world had never heard of it at this time.

Zhou Shumo's heart was pounding.

It's just that Zhao Chuanxin called "Old Zhou" in his mouth, which made Zhou Shumo unhappy.

so rude.

"Do you dare to issue a military order?"

"Issuing a few military orders, all I can say is that I will do my best."

Zhou Shumo's old face darkened.

However, Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to express his position, but he was even more convincing.

At least it shows that Zhao Chuanxin is not just talking nonsense.

Zhao Chuanxin added: "But I also have a few conditions."

"You said."

"I want Longjiang Prefecture to provide me with a piece of land to build a house free of charge. It should not be too far away from the business district and cover an area of ​​at least five acres. Guangxin Company has the ability to transport bulk grains. I need to cooperate with it and sign a treaty."

Five acres?

Zhou Shumo stared: "What a huge appetite. Although Longjiang Mansion is not as good as the capital, it still has a lot of money."

Zhao Chuanxin vowed: "At least I can make up for the land tax within a year, not to mention driving Guangxin Company's transportation business. If not, the house I built will be confiscated."

Although five acres of land was a lot of land, Zhou Shumo didn't have to worry too much about his status as governor. He immediately decided: "Okay, it's a deal."

He felt that he was not at a disadvantage either way.

Zhou Shumo and Song Xiaolian barely moved their chopsticks, but Zhao Chuanxin was in a hurry and did not delay eating or drinking while talking.

So when Zhou Shumo and Song Xiaolian felt like they were chatting, they wanted to use their chopsticks, but when they lowered their heads, they saw that the table was almost empty.

How big is your belly?

Their faces turned dark.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up, patted his belly, and called to the waiter: "I still have something to do. I have to go first. The guy will settle the account. I'll take this meal."

Then Zhao Chuanxin paid the money while the waiter looked at him in astonishment.

Zhou Shumo's nose was so hung up and crooked.

Okay, okay, you eat everything yourself, but you earn a treat, right?

So neat, right?

But before Zhao Chuanxin left, he said, "You two eat slowly, I'm going back to Lubin Mansion first."

The two of them had dark faces and didn't speak. What's wrong with this?

Zhao Chuanxin went out in a hurry.

"Damn, there are really very few people as open-minded as me nowadays. They are all just people who take advantage of the autumn wind." Zhao Chuanxin went out, stroking his belly and walking out with a figure-footed step.

He ate too much today and he needs to digest it.

……

Hulan Mansion.

A Russian ship slowly sailed into the Hulan River along the river channel exposed by the cut ice.

There were policemen on the shore shouting and trying to stop him. The Russian on the boat was holding a wine bottle in his hand and yelling at the patrolman on the shore with a red face. There was also a Russian who took off his pants and urinated and humiliated the patrolman on the shore across the water.

The patrolman was furious.

"How to do?"

"Go and inform the prefect."

So some people stared at the Russian ship, while others hurriedly turned around and went to inform the prefect.

The prefect of Hulan Prefecture is called Huang Weihan. He was promoted by Zhou Shumo, the governor of Longjiang Prefecture. In addition to being the prefect, he also serves as the general office of the Hulan Taxation Bureau.

At this time, Huang Weihan was leading the patrol outside the gambling house opened by the Japanese to prevent Chinese people from entering and gambling.

"Integrity and shame are gone, how can there be any etiquette and justice?" Huang Weihan angrily stopped a group of gamblers at the entrance of a Japanese gambling house: "The Japanese only want to enrich themselves, regardless of ruining the customs of the country, seducing other people's children, destroying Destroying other people's property, even disturbing the dignity of the elders and children, destroying people's minds and lives, upsetting the country's constitution, and ruining the people's customs. You are so foolish to give money to others, how stupid is it?"

A group of gamblers drooped their heads with no regrets on their faces.

The Japanese are even more angry.

They opened a gambling house, and Huang Weihan came to stop them. Wouldn't this ruin their business?

Therefore, Etajima, a Japanese who runs a gambling house, said angrily: "Master Huang, don't bully others too much."

Huang Weihan glanced at him coldly: "Humph, as long as I, Huang Weihan, am in Hulan Mansion, I will definitely stop you from ruining the order in which our farmers, industry and merchants can do their own business. I can't control you, and I can't control the people under my rule. What?"

Etajima was speechless.

Yes, what's wrong with people managing the people within their own jurisdiction?

But that made him angrier.

Huang Weihan saw that he was at a loss for words, so he turned to the gamblers and said: "Today I am just trying to persuade you. If you continue to be stubborn tomorrow, there is no need to lose all your family wealth in the gambling house. I will confiscate all your money." To prevent the young people of Hulan Prefecture from getting used to the bad habits of gangsters, this is the basis for eradicating evil!"
