Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Hou Yao was confused by Jiang Qizheng's attitude.

What do you mean, who does this Jiang Qizheng think of himself? Huh, this is really unreasonable.

His originally smiling face turned gloomy unconsciously, and he didn't know if it was because he had been in office for a long time. Now his gloomy face made everyone afraid of him.

Even Yu Xiu'er didn't dare to speak when he looked grim, Chen Junnan would take the initiative to put away his playful smile, and the others were even more silent.

Jiang Qizheng, who was already timid, couldn't stand upright on the spot and fell to his knees with a plop:

"Sir... Your Majesty..., I will never argue... with Your Majesty."

He spoke with a cry in his voice, which made a man in his thirties almost cry out of fear, which shows that he was really scared to the extreme.

Hou Yao sighed and helped Jiang Qizheng up with both hands:

"I'm afraid Mr. Jiang has misunderstood me. I am not an arbitrary person. It's all because of the malicious slander by others.

I came here today just to discuss with Mr. Jiang. There is currently no one in charge of the county's chief bookkeeper and historian, so we have to take on this responsibility.

I know that your Excellency had few opportunities to display his talents under the pressure of Li Jingshan. Now he can no longer influence you.

Therefore, Mr. Jiang also has room to display his talents. In fact, in the field of government affairs, I don't have much experience, and I still need Mr. Jiang's full help. "

Jiang Qizheng said with a submissive expression:

"If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me directly. I will never refuse."

"No, Mr. Jiang, listen to me. We are colleagues. You have your responsibilities and I have mine. We just need to do our part."

"Sir, my duty is to be your deputy. Your subordinates can do whatever you ask them to do."

Emmm...

"That's true, but adults should also have their own focus, and they should also take on one of their responsibilities."

Jiang Qizheng thought carefully about Hou Yao's words, and then said:

"Xia...Xiaguan will be in charge of agricultural affairs. From now on, Xiaguan will be in charge of agricultural...farming affairs, okay?"

Hou Yao nodded with satisfaction:

"Of course. Farming is the top priority. If you can support this aspect, it will be much easier for me."

Jiang Qizheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hou Yao's affirmation, and then said:

"Okay sir, corn and sweet potatoes have been planted on your newly reclaimed land.

Although these two crops can replace staple foods, most people seem not used to eating them.

So Xiaguan wants to plant more rice, wheat and other staple foods in the next season, but I don’t know... "

Hou Yao immediately shouted coldly:

"It's nonsense. Corn and sweet potatoes can produce several kilograms per acre, but how much can rice and wheat produce?

Who will make up for such a huge food gap? "

Jiang Qi knelt down with a plop:

"My lord... please calm down. I know... I'm wrong. I want... or else please teach me what I can do and what I can't do."

"Xiaguan...Xiaguan must cooperate with you fully." "

"I……"

Hou Yao was speechless for a while. It seemed that he really needed to spend some time to teach him what he could do, what he couldn't do, what he should do, and what he shouldn't do.

But if you teach like this, how should outsiders see you?

I really don’t want to have the reputation of being arbitrary, but if I don’t act dictatorially, others will ruin my development plan...

Alas, working as an independent professional is really a technical job, and ordinary people really can't do it.

"Okay, I will teach Mr. Jiang how to handle government affairs in the county..."

……

Due to Li Kangsheng's death in battle, the Huangtian Salt Farm lost its director and was forced to close down.

Hou Yao also sealed up the Guanfu Salt Farm in the name of arresting the rebel Li Jingfeng.

It is an indisputable fact that Li Jingfeng has been lurking in the Guanfu Salt Farm for many years, and he has committed major espionage and rebellion cases. No one dares to stand up and openly oppose him.

No one dared to stand up and quarrel with Hou Yao. Anyone who dared to speak out now might be a spy of the Japanese country.

Hou Yao could basically be captured and killed directly.

So at the cusp of the storm, the Chen family could only hold their noses and admit it.

Although the Chen family has temporarily lost a cash cow and their income will decrease, it is because Li Jingfeng robbed the granary.

After they went through the operation behind the scenes, not only did they not lose money, but they made a lot of money. In the short term, they were not that uncomfortable.

As for the closed salt works, they can just wait until the limelight has passed and then rebuild them.

Two salt farms were shut down at once, and the remaining four were trembling.

The first person who came to Hou Yao to persuade him was Huang Fengyu, and he asked Hou Yao to meet him in Sihai Class in a very low profile.

Now he has long lost the arrogance he had when he was in Wanxiang Tower, and his whole person seems to be ten years older.

To be honest, he was also worried. If Hou Yao killed Dongguan Saltworks, his whole family would die without a burial place.

Moreover, the master behind him clearly told him not to be an enemy of Hou Yao.

Huang Fengyu didn't know why.

But almost no one in the entire court did not know the importance of Hou Yao at this time.

The emperor publicly slapped the first and second ministers in the face, and supported a small magistrate's platform. He clearly wanted to tell the whole world:

I am the one who protected this person. If you want to die, just try touching him.

Of course, the platform does not necessarily mean how much it values ​​Hou Yao. In fact, the emperor knows the problems in Baoan County better than anyone else.

If he could handle it, he would have done it long ago, why would he wait until today?

In fact, he couldn't cure that kind of problem.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

As long as the profit is still there, those profit-seeking people will kill and cut down endlessly.

The only thing that can be done is to let some people who know their own sense of proportion seize the benefits and choose the lesser of the two powers.

The platform was nothing more than a warning from the emperor to those behind Yanli, expressing his serious dissatisfaction with the current situation.

The purpose is to scare them and give Hou Yao the ability to suppress the situation in Bao'an County.

The two people who were slapped in the face happened to be the real bosses behind the salt farm affected by this incident.

Those who understand know what it means, but those who don't just think that Hou Yao is about to soar into the sky.

Regardless of whether he understands it or not, it has become a consensus that he cannot be an enemy of Hou Yao at the moment.

The big guys behind him were all soft, and Huang Fengyu was even softer. When Hou Yao sat there and coughed lightly, he would tremble three times.

"Mr. Hou, the villain really has no idea about the fact that Snake Lao San and his two men are doing loan sharking outside behind the villain's back.

Everyone has been handed over to Capt. Zhou, you see... "

"Oh, just let Mr. Zhou take care of it. Isn't that why you went to so much trouble to come to me to talk about this?"

"The adults see it clearly, but the villain is just passing on a message: We are just asking for money, and we do not want to be enemies with the adults. It is good for everyone to keep the net open."

"Okay, take what I say back here: Salt is just a small profit, it hurts the country and the people. There are thousands of ways to get money.

If you want to make a lot of money and have sincere cooperation, you can come to me. "

Huang Fengyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied:

"Okay, I will definitely take the adults' words back word for word."

At this time, Miao Siniang walked in charmingly and said softly:

"Master Hou, a young man named Yao saw you in the lobby below. He claimed to be your friend. Do you want to bring him up?"

Hou Yao glanced downstairs and saw that it was Yao Yingzhe, Hou Chengyun and a strange middle-aged man.

"Hey, bring them up."

Huang Fengyu said knowingly:

"My lord, if you have friends here, I will take my leave first."

Hou Yao waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Not long after, Miao Siniang brought Yao Yuanzhou upstairs:

"Master Hou, Mr. Yao, please talk slowly, I won't disturb you two."

Yao Yuanzhou couldn't help but smile when he saw that there were only Hou Yao and a guard in the room:

"Brother Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so independent. Even when you go to a brothel, you are alone."

When Hou Yao heard that Yao Yuanzhou actually called him brother, he also gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

Smart people are indeed smart people, and their emotional and IQ levels are really high.

If he came up and called himself sir, he could act businesslike.

But his attitude was like reminiscing about old times, and he found it hard to speak.

"Brother Yingzhe said this. Didn't the previous one just leave? Things are different now. The life of wage earners is not easy.

I have to work so hard all day just for a few taels of silver, how can I have time to find a girl?

But Brother Yao, if I remember correctly, my cousin's marriage should not be consummated, right?

You didn't go find her? "

Yao Yingzhe blushed rarely:

"I met him once and gave him a few words of comfort, but...well, actually I really envy Brother Hou for being able to do whatever he wants."

"You can do whatever you want. I worry about being killed every day. Brother Yao knows what's going on in Bao'an County better than I do."

Hou Yao claimed to be his own official and had already set limits. If Yao Yingzhe continued to be careless, he was not sincere in his conversation.

"Master Hou, let me get straight to the point. My family can give up [-]% of the profit. I just ask Master Hou to show your kindness. I am very grateful."

Hou Yao shook his head slightly:

"Brother Yao, if you and I are fighting, I will tell you everything. In my plan, the cancer of private salt must be put to an end.

However, the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.Since I have cut off your financial resources, I naturally have to help you make up for it.

I can give you three options:

First, let you act as an agent for the products produced by Baoan County Industries. We can even divide an area for you to operate exclusively, which will be enough to make up for the loss of salt profits.

Second, if you invest in the company's property, you will receive profit dividends every year according to the shareholders of the stock, which will also ensure that you make a lot of money.

Third, work with me to create new industries, make huge profits, and make money all over the world. "

Yao Yingzhe pondered for a long time, and Hou Yao had already given the bottom line. Sooner or later, the secret relationship under his rule would become cold, and there was no need to talk about it.

The only thing that can be thought of now is how to minimize the losses after the closure of private salt.

To be honest, Yao Yingzhe felt that the three plans given by Hou Yao were all sincere plans.

Now the industries in Hou Yao's hands are all hugely profitable industries that can drive people crazy, but the key point is that there is only one company and no other companies.

Not to mention Liuli, high-alcohol wine has been around for a while, and the new soap has just been launched on the market. It has become a household name in Guangdong in just ten days.

If we can really invest in any of these industries, we can indeed make up for the lost interests of private investors.

In this case, it's not too bad, but which way to cooperate is worth pondering... .
