Chapter 606: The Usefulness of the Palace

With the support of the people, the support of the allies of the two countries, and the pressure of the magnates, Poramo had no choice, made up his mind not to bow his head, and then began to mobilize the army, and began to recruit soldiers among the people while asking for military expenses from the magnates.

There are no impermeable pants, not to mention that the actions of the Phnom Penh Dynasty are not concealed, just when the envoy has just returned to Vientiane City, new news came again, the Phnom Penh Dynasty has begun to prepare for war, and the people nervously recruited 100,000 troops, so that the number of his original army has reached 400,000.

When the number of 400,000 enemies was reported to Luan Xiaochen's ears, he was also taken aback, and his first reaction was to ask his subordinate where the sixth young master was.

When he learned that the Sixth Young Master had returned to Vientiane City and was in the original Lancang Palace, Luan Xiaochen put down everything in his hand and went straight to the palace. The matter has become bigger, and he is a little unstable, and now he urgently needs the support of the sixth young master.

Yang Chendong returned to Vientiane City the night before yesterday, and the so-called silent return to the city after going out of the city is also silent, and he came back after arranging things.

After being busy for a while, he came back and had a good night's sleep, and after waking up, Yang Chendong began to wander around the palace. And while walking around, he sighed at the same time, "These bastards, they can really enjoy it, the country is not very big, and the people still have a lot to eat, their palaces are bigger than the other, and each is more gorgeous than the other, how much people's hard-earned money is this." ”

"Young master, the palace in Chiji City is better than here." Listening to Yang Chendong's exclamation, Hu Mang thought that the sixth master was psychologically unbalanced, so he wanted to enlighten him.

"I know." Yang Chendong nodded, and then looked at Hu Mang who was following on the side with an idiot look, which immediately attracted Yang Er's hey laughter on the other side.

Knowing that he was laughed at by Yang Er, and he was also regarded as an idiot by the sixth young master, Hu Mang was a little unconvinced, and wanted to explain a few sentences, but Yang Chendong had already taken the lead in speaking at this moment, "Young Master Ben wants to make such a big palace stand here without one living in it, what a big waste, then it's better to make good use of it." ”

"Why is there no one to live, the young master can live, in the future, there will be a palace to rest in any province, how cool is that." Hu Mang seemed to be dissatisfied with being despised just now, and took the initiative to answer.

"What? In your eyes, is Young Master Ben a person who likes luxury and waste? After rolling his eyes again, Yang Chendong didn't give Hu Mang a chance to speak, but said as if he had made some kind of decision, "I think it is completely possible to get a commercial street into this palace, so that the territory of doing business is larger, not to mention, doing business in the palace can also attract more people to come curiously, so that you can earn more silver, right?" ”

If you really do business in the royal palace, it can really attract more merchants to come. Think about it, because of the rank, although the merchants were rich, their social status at that time was not high, and most of them did not have the opportunity to enter the palace to have a look. If there is such an opportunity, presumably some businessmen who have not yet established business ties with the Yang family also want to take a look at this point, so as long as they come, with the variety of flowers and novelty of the Yang family's commercial varieties, they are not afraid that those people will not take out the silver to buy goods, so wouldn't it be possible to increase the speed of making money? In terms of the speed of making money, the Outer Heaven Trading Company is no worse than the mercenary army's combat power, especially the novelty of the goods, the variety of variety, no matter where they go, these goods are going to be robbed by people. But Yang Chendong is still a little dissatisfied, and there are too many places for the entire Yang family to spend.

It's like a high salary. Officials in Vietnam and Laos provinces now earn a lot of money, which is far more than the current tax revenues of these two provinces, and if they want to achieve parity, they will have to develop at least for a while, and if they want to achieve the goal of making money, they will have to wait a few more years. In addition to some infrastructure construction in the two provinces, such as building roads and houses, the materials used are the strongest and best materials of reinforced concrete, and the investment required is even more astronomical.

That is, Yang Chendong has been replaced by another person, I am afraid that he can only dream of it, and he will not be able to use it in reality.

Although it is said that the current Chichicheng is developing very well and already has a strong ability to make money, every time it is shipped on the ship, it is equivalent to countless gold and silver being thrown into the pocket. But just with the hematopoietic ability of this place, it is not conducive to long-term development, and it is also extremely expensive to add arsenals, power plants, sea shipyards, etc. in the red embedded city, and sometimes in order for a research to succeed, you don't know how much silver you need to pay.

Yang Chendong didn't want to put all the pressure on the red city, Yang Chendong wanted to make the commerce of Vietnam and Laos provinces more developed and larger, so that they could achieve enough hematopoietic function and produce and sell themselves. However, due to the fact that the scale of the commercial street was still too small, and the number of merchants he could receive was limited, and the goods that could be stored were also limited, so he made the idea to the palace where no one lived.

"Governor Luan is here." Yang Er's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen Luan Xiaochen from far and near, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Hehe, Governor Xiaoluan is here." Yang Chendong returned to reality from contemplation, turned around and laughed.

The title of Governor Xiaoluan was first shouted out of Yang Chendong's mouth, so that Humang often called it this way in private, because of habit, sometimes he would still call him like this when he saw him, which attracted Luan Xiaochen's dissatisfaction, but he couldn't say anything, who let this be a kind of "love" for Yang Chendong for him.

Just adding a small print in front of the governor really won't affect his majesty?

"Sixth Young Master." Although he was unhappy with this little word in his heart, but in front of Yang Chendong, he didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, and even knew better in his heart that with this small word, Yang Chendong regarded him as his own. If you don't believe me, if you look at others, has anyone had a small word added in front of the official title? He should be happy for this honor.

"Come on, you're just in time." Yang Chendong stretched out his hand and pulled Luan Xiaochen's arm, then pointed to the palace in front of him and said, "What do you think of making this place a place for business?" ”

"Here?" Luan Xiaochen was also taken aback by Yang Chendong's statement. He instinctively wanted to say the same as Hu Mang, this is the place where the sixth young master came here to rest, which is equivalent to the emperor's palace, is he really willing to take it out for business?

"Yes, this is it." Yang Chendong didn't care what Luan Xiaochen thought in his heart, but said to himself: "Usually there is no one living here, but it is a waste to arrange people to guard and clean here." If you can take it out and put it to good use, wouldn't it be a good name to attract more businessmen here? Don't you think that's a good idea? ”

Of course it's a good idea! Luan Xiaochen said affirmatively in his heart. As the situation in Laos becomes more and more stable, more and more businessmen come here to get their goods, and he is worried that the original commercial street is a little too small. But if he wants to expand, he needs to invest a lot of silver, which makes him feel a little distressed. If the palace can really be taken out and used, it will not only solve a big problem of investment, but also expand the commercial street, store more goods, meet the needs of more people, make more money, and get more commercial taxes, which is a great thing no matter how you look at it.

Although he was thinking like this in his heart, Luan Xiaochen still asked a question in his mouth, "If this place is changed to a commercial area, where will the sixth young master live here in the future?" ”

"It's okay to leave a separate palace, this palace covers too much area, and I can't live alone." Yang Chendong replied casually, obviously he had already thought about this question just now and made a decision.

"That's fine." Luan Xiaochen nodded, but he just said yes, but he didn't say that it would definitely work or say no, this is his cleverness.

The palace is equivalent to Yang Chendong's private property, how to deal with him can be judged in a word, and others will not have such power, even if he may be Yang Chendong's uncle in the future. Otherwise, once others know that it was the idea of beating the palace by themselves, and then the sixth young master agreed, then who knows if it will cause some sycophants to be unhappy. It is even possible to cause a group attack from others because of this.

As the territory controlled by Yang Chendong became larger and larger, and as the strength of the mercenaries continued to expand, no one thought that the Sixth Young Master would only be limited to being a loyal and courageous man. Don't say that it is a prince, that is, it is extremely normal to be called a king and an emperor in the future. Everything about the Sixth Young Master is not a trivial matter, and there will definitely be more and more rules in the future. Now that he has hit the idea of his private property, it is inevitable that he will not be counted in the future.

Luan Xiaochen is very careful, and it can even be said that he has a long-term vision, and in Yang Chendong's eyes, he just smiled. He likes to do things with measured subordinates, such talents can be entrusted with important responsibilities and have greater prospects in the future.

"Well, if you don't object, the matter is settled. In the future, not only the royal palace here, but also the royal palace of Vietnam Province, but all other royal palaces that are occupied can be classified as commercial use, so that you can save some time and financial resources to build a commercial street, hahaha. Yang Chendong was happy about his idea. But at the same time, you don't object, and you also took Luan Xiaochen out of this matter.

If you don't object, this is enough to show that this matter is led by Yang Chendong alone, and has nothing to do with other people, and if there is something in the future, you will naturally not be able to find anyone else.

Yang Chendong's words revealed another news, that is, he would occupy other palaces in the future, and this remark also shocked Luan Xiaochen's heart, and he took the opportunity to tell the main thing about seeing Yang Chendong. "Sixth Young Master, something is wrong now, and it happened because of a business family called Solangon..."
