Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Chapter 103 Add 2 provinces, should it be called the 8 Provinces of Daqin?

It took about three and a half hours for three DC-3 passenger planes to fly at a speed of 230 kilometers per hour from the Northern Sichuan Military Airport to the Kundu Military Airport.

Cao He, the Inspector General of Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces, who received the news, dressed in formal attire and waited for the arrival of the young marshal of the Qin army at the airport with Liang Yongfu, deputy commander-in-chief of Cao's army.

"Lao Liang, I understand what you said to me."

Cao He looked at the sky and said, "But whether this young commander of the Qin family is really the real boss still needs to be investigated. I can't just send millions of people from Yunnan and Guizhou away without knowing the reason."

"Brother," Liang Yongfu said, "The Daqian Kingdom is now divided into three parts. The imperial court is one side, the little devils are one side, and the Qin family is one side. We will never choose the little devils even if we die. We have experienced the imperial court's tactics of killing the donkey after it has done its work before, so we must not choose them, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of Cao army soldiers who died unjustly will not forgive us!"

“As for the Qin family!”

Liang Yongfu looked at Cao He and said, "I think you must have sent people to investigate the six northwestern provinces and the Qin family's actions?"

"You still understand me."

Cao He smiled and said, "The six northwestern provinces have ushered in great development under the Qin family. This is undeniable. In the past, these six provinces were remote areas in the northwest, poor and backward, but in the Qin family's hands, they have become prosperous. Just looking at the province of northern Sichuan, we can see that it has the potential to become a major industrial province."

"The industrial development level of this province is far ahead of that of Daqian Country. There is also Baibao Street, which has hundreds of international brands settled in. This makes Beidufu of Northern Sichuan Province as prosperous as a special city like Shanglu."

"As for reputation, I have inquired about it on a large scale in the six provinces," Cao He continued, "99% of them are favorable. There are no banditry, no starving people, the people have food and land, and the tax rate is one-third of ours, which is very low. The commercial tax is one-fifth of ours. Even so, the tax revenue of the six northwestern provinces last year was nearly 100 million. If they collected it according to our rate, the tax revenue of the six northwestern provinces would be two to three times that of the rest of the Daqian Kingdom."

"Even if war comes, the tax rate remains the same. I, Cao He, admire this kind of courage and approach!"

"It seems that you have learned a lot during this period," Liang Yongfu asked curiously, "Then why did you say that we should continue to investigate, is that possible?"

"Here they are," Cao He did not answer Liang Yongfu's question, but looked at the sky and said, "Three transport passenger planes, what a big deal! I have been frugal all my life, and I only have a special train, but the young commander of the Qin family even has a special plane."

As soon as the words fell, the three passenger planes landed steadily on the runway. Then Zhang Hu led the guard platoon out first. Looking at the fully armed guards with eyes full of elite intentions, Cao He commented, "The Qin army's elite soldiers are not called in vain!"

"General Cao, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I finally meet you!"

Qin Lin walked off the plane with a smile on his face. He walked up to Cao He, shook his hand and said, "We are neighbors. This is the first time I meet your neighbor! Haha."

"Young Marshal, what are you talking about? It's me who is so careless. I haven't had time to visit you. It's really a great honor for me to have Young Marshal come to my place in Yunnan and Guizhou in person!"

"I have prepared some drinks," Cao He continued, "Let's eat and talk at the same time."

"Very good, very good." Qin Lin said, "I am a little hungry after such a bumpy ride."

Then, the group took a special car to Kundu Prefecture. Qin Lin looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "This Yun Province is really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

“The scenery in the northwest is also great!”

Cao He said, "I was fortunate enough to go to Western Xinjiang once. The scenery there was truly breathtakingly beautiful."

The two chatted for a while and then came to the reception room of Kundu Mansion. At this time, in this reception room, many Yunnan and Guizhou specialties were served on the table.

The three of them first exchanged a few polite drinks, then chatted about family matters, asked about Qin Yuanzhong, the Inspector General of the Six Northwestern Provinces, and then the topic turned to the current situation in the Daqian Kingdom.

"The myth that the devils wanted to invade Daqian for six months has been broken," Cao He said with a red face, "This is all thanks to the Northwest Qin Army. Without the Qin Army's strong efforts to curb the devil's advance, our Daqian Kingdom would be in danger!"

"That's not what Commander Cao said. This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts."

"Work together?"

"Humph!"

Hearing about working together, Cao He became angry and said, "United to fight the war, the imperial court killed hundreds of thousands of my Cao army soldiers. The grief in my heart cannot be understood by anyone. These are all good men from Yunnan and Guizhou, but the imperial court used the hands of the Japanese country to keep them on the front line forever. They died in the calculations of their own compatriots. It is really sad!"

"Marshal Cao, please accept my condolences."

Qin Lin felt very sympathetic and said, "The court is dark and no longer worthy of being called the Lord of Daqian. Some time ago, they gave up Yuzhou Province and tens of millions of people in Yuzhou. This is really hateful!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Cao He said calmly, "My Cao family is the first to deny the imperial court! I understand the young marshal's intention when he came to Yunnan and Guizhou this time."

Cao He went straight to the point and said, "To be honest, I, Cao He, do not have the ability or the heart to fight for world domination. It is all thanks to the support of my brothers. Otherwise, I would just be a farmer. The only thing I am worried about is the millions of people in Yunnan and Guizhou. So! If you want Yunnan and Guizhou to submit to the Qin family, I have a few conditions."

"Just ask for it," Qin Lin said sincerely, "As long as my Qin family can do it, we will do our best."

"Young Marshal, I'll drink first to show my respect for your sincerity," Cao He said after drinking the wine in his glass. "The first condition is that Young Marshal must treat everyone equally. He must treat Yunnan and Guizhou the same way he treats the six northwestern provinces."

"Of course. If Yunnan and Guizhou surrender, then that will be our Qin family's territory, so of course we will treat them equally."

"The second condition," Cao He continued, "I, Cao He, will still be the provincial governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, but only for one year. I want to see whether the Qin family has preferential policies for Yunnan and Guizhou, and whether the lives of the millions of people in Yunnan and Guizhou can become better and better under the Qin family's control."

"no problem."

Qin Lin said, "As long as Yunnan and Guizhou surrender, our first step will be to ensure that the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have enough food to eat. I believe this is also what General Cao is most worried about."

"Also, taxes will be reduced by 1000%, just like in the northwest. Later, I will also take out million yuan to support the development of Yunnan and Guizhou, connect the railways with the six provinces in the northwest, and build a provincial national security office to maintain local public security, eliminate local bullies, protect local peace, and let the people have a place to seek redress for their grievances, and everyone is equal."

Cao He's eyes lit up when he saw the policies Qin Lin mentioned. He finally understood why the six northwestern provinces had been able to achieve such great development under the Qin family. The reason was that the policies were good and everyone was equal.

"The third condition."
