This is to send out an invitation, Long Qi was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, He Guang's elbow was already against his waist, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was already very obvious, that is, there is such a good thing, you can agree quickly.

That's certainly a good thing. This means that Luan Xiaochen needs Longqi to unite the hearts of the nobles, which is equivalent to doing things for the mercenaries, so if anyone dares not to give face, it is not to give Longqi a face, but to the Lao Provincial Government, to show the mercenaries a face, what will be the result, obvious.

Long Qi is actually not very old, just over fifty, he can still continue to shine, the most important thing is that he used to be the national teacher here, and he is very familiar with the upper class, such as integrating the hearts of nobles, in the eyes of Luan Xiaochen, an outsider, it may not be easy to do, just to investigate and understand some of the situation It takes a lot of time. But none of this is a problem with him, and it's not too much to say it's easy.

Thinking that once he could become a representative of the mercenary, who would dare not give himself face, Longqi's heart was alive at the moment. At the moment, the old face flushed and clenched his fist at Luan Xiaoli to the end, "Thank you Governor Luan for your attention, as long as my old bones are still there, I will definitely do my best to do this well." ”

"Haha, okay." Luan Xiaochen laughed and reached out to help Long Qi up. This can be regarded as a bonus, with Longzi to take the lead, many things will be done much more smoothly. At least I know who can be friends and who can be enemies.

It's okay to be generous with your friends. But for the enemy, there is one word - kill. Kill them until they are afraid, kill them until they are afraid, and if they can't do it, then kill them all. Anyway, the life of an alien is never the first priority.

After greeting Long Qi, Luan Xiaochen's eyes were on his Nong Si again, "The Solanggong family is a well-known business family, and the governor of this province has also heard of it, you are very business-minded and capable, and the business channels are also perfect, which is admirable." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Seeing that Long Qi had already leaned over, he was already envious. But he knew that such a good thing had nothing to do with him. Not for anything else, just because they are businessmen. Businessmen must not have too strong political overtones, otherwise, if they want to make money doing business in other countries, they will be excluded, and it will be a huge loss.

Luan Xiaochen didn't mean to woo him, the development of Laos Province is inseparable from businessmen, which is inevitable. But it doesn't mean that you can't do without any businessman, can you still eat hairy pigs without you?

As he spoke, he had already walked to the banquet hall. Luan Xiaochen is naturally under the first seat, He Guang is on the left, Longqi is on the right, and he is on the opposite side. The wine and food were then served, and then the cup was pushed and changed, the wine was passed three rounds, the dishes were five flavors, and everyone ate almost, and then it was time to get down to business.

He made full use of the potential of the merchants, and told the story of what happened to the Solangon family on the Mekong this time, without adding anything or personal opinions, and he knew that such a big event would not come with the slightest bit of water, otherwise it would be easy to be self-defeating. Luan Xiaochen listened very carefully, and until he finished speaking, he didn't express his opinion at the first time. On the other hand, He Guang, who was on the left side, rebuked General Hun Sen of the Phnom Penh Dynasty very angrily, which seemed to be intentional, after all, he is now a mercenary, of course, he has to stand in line.

"Hun Sen? What is the background and identity of this person? Luan Xiaochen wanted to know more about the situation, so his eyes fell on the three of them.

"I'll answer." Long Qi opened his mouth, he has always wanted to perform well, and as a former national teacher, he can be said to have a very good understanding of some of the surrounding countries, and it is not too much to say that he just opened his mouth.

From Long Qi's mouth, Luan Xiaochen learned more about Hun Sen. This person was one of the important representatives of the military of the Phnom Penh dynasty, and his position in the army was second only to General Dahn.

Although they are both generals, Hun Sen and Dahn are quite different. For example, the general leads the troops to talk about sincerity, unless necessary, he will not be too ruthless to his soldiers, and if possible, he will give the soldiers below some opportunities to advance. Hun Sen is different, this person is ruthless and extremely greedy for money, that is, he even dares to deduct the salary of his soldiers, which has attracted the dissatisfaction of many people. This person is still very good at things that are stronger than him, and he will give big gifts every New Year's Day, which makes him have a good impression in the eyes of the high-level of the Phnom Penh Kingdom, even King Poloma. It can be said that this is a typical representative of bullying and bullying.

There are too many people who have received benefits from him, and it is difficult to move him. After Long Qi introduced the situation one by one, he finally added some of his own thoughts, "As far as the old man understands, although this person is ruthless, he is still very discerning in doing things, and he can be very clear about who can be offended and who can't be offended." This time, he suddenly attacked the Solangon family, which was not in line with his usual behavior, and it was really a little unreasonable. ”

What Luongchi means is that the Solangon family is a part of Laos Province, and has a good relationship with Daen in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, so it is said that Hun Sen should not have any idea of doing anything, is it really a matter of profit, and dare to rob any money for the sake of silver?

It's no wonder that Long Qi would think like this, this matter itself was not done by Hun Sen, but was manipulated by the lark under Yang Chendong's acquiescence. The reason why Hun Sen was chosen is also because this person is greedy for money and is very famous, who will carry such a black cauldron if he does not carry it?

Of course, Luan Xiaochen will not delve into the reason. He only knew that the citizens and merchants of Laos Province were persecuted, and as the governor of a province, he had to seek justice, otherwise an official who only knew what was wrong would not be respected.

After seriously understanding the matter, Luan Xiaochen set his eyes on his Nong Si and wanted to listen to the other party's opinion.

He knew that it was time for him to express his position, so he told his own approach and plan. "Governor Luan, I have arranged for someone to go to the Phnom Penh Dynasty to ask Hun Sen to return the robbed silver, and I also sent someone to intercede with General Doon, hoping that he can put some pressure on Hun Sen."

"That's all?" Luan Xiaochen looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, only then did he know that the other party had finished speaking, so he looked at him with some dissatisfaction. "Well, that's all." He nodded with a puzzled expression. Heart, aren't these enough? It's good enough to be able to recover the lost losses, but as for the people who were killed, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

"It's not enough." Luan Xiaochen shook his head very decisively, then looked at him Nong Si and said: "His patriarch, if you find me in this matter, it means that you have found the Lao Provincial Government, if the matter is so simple, it is tantamount to blaspheming our provincial government, understand?" ”

"Huh?" He didn't think so much about just wanting to recover the lost silver and reopen commercial trade with the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

Looking at his shocked look on Nongsi's face, Luan Xiaozhen shook his head, businessmen are businessmen after all, what they see in their eyes is only interests, and where can there be any overall situation. Looks like I need to remind him. "Patriarch, now give you two choices. First, if you haven't reported this matter to our provincial government, and we haven't received your request, how to do it, you can handle it yourself, whether you suffer a loss or make a profit, it's your family's business. Second, formally report the matter to our provincial government, and then ask the other party to hand over the murderer, compensate for the damages, and publicly apologize to ensure that such a thing will not happen again. As for whether the other side will agree, then we will communicate with them, and if they are really arrogant and do not take our citizens and businessmen of Laos Province seriously, then we must teach them a good lesson. ”

"Lessons?" He Guang on the side listened to it sincerely. "Does Governor Luan mean to send troops?"

"I can't rule out the possibility of that." Luan Xiaochen didn't even mean to hesitate, and said very directly.

"Shhh

Whether it was He Guang, Long Qi and his Nong Si, they couldn't help but gasp when they heard that Luan Xiaochen didn't rule out the possibility of sending troops.

It's just the loss of some money and the death of some subordinates, and these losses are the business of the Solangon family themselves. They didn't pay a single cent more in taxes to the Lao government, but for this reason, Luan Xiaochen did not hesitate to send troops to conquer, this result was really unexpected, and even everyone had never thought about it before.

At this moment, the eyes of the three of them looking at Luan Xiaochen changed. Although this person is still young, he seems to have an aura on his body that makes people not look up.

"Alright, patriarch, you can make a choice. What I can say is that no matter what choice you make, I will respect you. But please remember that if you are not prepared to make a big deal out of it, then your family will be responsible for all the consequences of this matter, and you don't want to think that we will stand up for you when you encounter unfair things in the future. That means you only get one chance, you know? ”

Luan Xiaochen would say this, of course, there was his thoughts in it. Now that Laos Province has just been established, there are too many things to do and too many things to be busy, and it is not the right time to start a war with a foreign country now. It is of course best to avoid it if it can be avoided. However, if the Solangon family opens their mouth to ask the government for this, it is a different matter, and if they ignore the request, it will chill everyone's hearts, which is very detrimental to the establishment of a united Lao province.
