Chapter 607: The Wind Direction Gradually Changes
Luan Xiaochen didn't know that Yang Chendong had known about the development of this matter from beginning to end, and even planned it by others, he was just fulfilling the duty of a provincial governor and reporting things truthfully.
Yang Chendong did not interrupt the other party's speech, but listened to the report very seriously, frowning and nodding from time to time, and stayed for a while, and finally waited for Luan Xiaochen to finish speaking, especially when he talked about the Phnom Penh Dynasty that began to gather troops and recruit new troops, Yang Chendong couldn't help but say, "It's just looking for death." ”
He was qualified to say such things. In the eyes of others, the Phnom Penh Dynasty is a great existence, but in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, because the distance is too far, it is also quite beyond the reach of the whip, but in Yang Chendong's view, it is completely different.
The Phnom Penh dynasty bordered Vietnam, Laos, and Siam. It's like a bun filling, tightly surrounded by dough. If it is really aimed at him, Yang Chendong can start from several places, how can he put such a Phnom Penh dynasty in his eyes?
Luan Xiaochen was also excited because of Yang Chendong's words. "Yes, the Phnom Penh Dynasty's move is no different from looking for death, but the problem is that now the three small countries of Phnom Penh, Siam and Ava have formed an alliance, no matter which of them is moved, the other two countries will immediately react, although the mercenary strength is strong, it will still be difficult to fight with one enemy and three fears."
"You're right. But I ask you, are the Solangon family citizens of Laos? Yang Chendong asked rhetorically.
"Of course." In terms of this, Luan Xiaochen gave the answer without the slightest hesitation.
"Well, even if they are citizens of Laos, then they are being bullied, how can we, as masters, ignore them. This will not only lose the hearts and minds of the people, but also make others think that we are easy to bully, which must not happen. So anyone who provokes us, it's just one word - hit. Beat them until their flesh hurts, beat them until they are afraid, and beat them until they are obedient and obedient. If we don't have the courage to do so, then what's the difference between us and other small countries? You have to remember that whether a country is strong or not depends not on how much territory you occupy and how many resources you have, but whether citizens go out and have their status, whether they can be respected by others, understand? ”
This is equivalent to Yang Chendong giving Luan Xiaochen a lesson. The latter listened carefully, and finally his eyes lit up, "Sixth Young Master, I understand." ”
"Okay, now that you understand, then you can do whatever you should do, and the war on the Phnom Penh Dynasty's side will be completed by Young Master Ben." Yang Chendong said confidently. For others, this war was a bit sudden, but for him, it had been prepared for four months, and all the arrangements that should have been arranged had already been arranged.
Luan Xiaochen left with a happy face, even if the sixth young master said that he wanted to take charge of the war, then he only needed to do a good job of logistics support. Of course, the economic development of Lao Province cannot be stopped. On the contrary, the huge Lancang Palace can be used, and he can also bet more goods to carry out more grand economic trade.
After Luan Xiaochen returned to the provincial government, he did not mention anything related to the war, but on the contrary, announced the decision to move the commercial street into the palace and increase the development of economy and trade.
As soon as the news came out, everyone who heard it was shocked and confused. What's going on? Could it be that the mercenaries are afraid of the Phnom Penh dynasty? Then I want to use the increase in the share of the economy and trade to attract everyone's attention.
I think so. Although the mercenaries have the most advanced repeating muskets, after all, the background is too poor, plus they have just taken Vietnam and Laos, I am afraid that they should be weak in the future. Even in the face of the provocation of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, they had to suppress it first.
The patriarch of Solangon, who got the news, was panicked at the first time. What does that mean, does it mean that Governor Luan retreated? He has already created enough public opinion, and now many business families are waiting to see the results. If the matter is not known like this, it must be very embarrassing to be a party involved. In the future, not only will the family's business tentacles not be able to reach into the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but I am afraid that other countries will also vigorously attack them. After all, this matter seems to have been caused by them first, a business family, admit it when it suffers a loss in a foreign country, and then take out more silver and more sincerity to get through the relationship.
But you are still trying to kidnap the mercenaries and the Lao government, and you want to solve everything by means of administrative pressure. If it happens, it is normal for others to look up to you, and even give the green light to let you go. But the current Lao government doesn't care about you anymore, and the Solangon family, which has no backer, will naturally become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it.
He was flustered, not only could he not do it as a patriarch, but even the entire Solangon family was afraid that it would fall apart under heavy pressure. At that time, he will definitely become the sinner of the family and be engraved on the list of shame forever.
Unable to sit still, he Nong Si got into the carriage and went straight to Longfu, he wanted to ask Long first for clarification. In fact, in his capacity, he has no access to any high-level officials in Laos Province, and the only one who can have some connections is the partner of the family.
Lonzi was also taken aback by the sudden news from the provincial government. Luan Xiaochen swore that as long as they poked out the matter and made it known to everyone, the provincial government would not ignore it. But now all of a sudden, the wind has changed, what's going on? What the hell is going on in between?
When he Nong Si appeared in the Long Mansion with a anxious face, Long Qi had already sent someone to He Mansion, and he wanted to try to see if he could see General He Guang. If you can see people, it means that things are not too bad, otherwise, things are afraid that things will be troublesome. Recently, he has been using the banner of the provincial government to contact the nobles of Laos Province, and he has seen results. But if he is abandoned this time, his previous efforts will be wasted, and he Longqi himself will become the object of everyone's spit, I am afraid that in the future, except for staying in the mansion honestly, he really can't do anything, and no one is willing to believe in himself.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." When Longzi saw him appear in front of him sweating profusely, he comforted the other party loudly, and at the same time comforted himself. "I, Governor Guanluan, is responsible, and he won't just abandon us."
"But he's still too young. Young people always like to be impulsive. He said with some disbelief.
"This... I've already arranged for someone to go to General He Guang, let's see if he wants to see us. Longzi was also affected by this sentence, but at this moment he could only hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that he could wait for the good news.
Looking at it, it seemed that an hour had passed as if a year had passed, and finally the people sent rushed back, and brought a message from He Guang, "Don't panic, everything is under control, and wait to see the result." ”
This is the message brought by He Guang. Although Long Qi was a little incomprehensible, when he learned that the people sent out had not only entered the He Mansion, but also met General He Guang, his high heart fell a lot. Even if He Guang is still willing to meet his own people, it means that things are not too bad and there is still hope.
No matter how Long Qi comforted himself, now many people have begun to watch his jokes, and the pressure has increased greatly for a while, whether it is Long Qi or the Solangon family, they are now in a deep crisis.
The envoys of several countries, who had been staring at the Lao Provincial Government, especially the provincial governor Luan Xiaochen, were indeed secretly celebrating.
In view of Luan Xiaochen's strong statement, they were all ready to fight with the mercenaries, but who would have thought that it would be a loud thunder and a small rain, and the matter seemed to be unknown, which inevitably made some people sigh that mercenaries are just like this.
As the five days passed, the effects got worse and worse. The former Lancang nobles who remained in Laos Province also began to step up contacts, and from time to time there would be some remarks that they were not optimistic about the future of Laos Province.
These aristocrats no longer have power, but over the years, their tentacles and influence have penetrated into various industries. These people don't have a lot of ability to get things done, but they are still very capable of getting things done. Under their influence, the volume of goods sold in the commercial street has been greatly affected.
The issue that the businessmen now have to consider is the safety of the goods that enter the Yang family and leave Laos Province. Although no one denies that the novelty and high-end of the Yang family's goods are incomparable, and the goods are not to be sold, what if they are like the Solangon family, what if the goods are robbed?
The affairs of the Solangon family are too big to be properly resolved, and the safety of all merchants will be lost. The Phnom Penh Dynasty robbed the silver without incident, will other small countries and regions do the same?
There was a backlog of goods for the first time, and the official in charge of this area went to see Luan Xiaochen and proposed whether it was possible to suspend the delivery of goods from the Red Embedded City side, or to deliver less goods, otherwise, there would be problems with too much backlog. In particular, some goods still have a retention period, and if they cannot be sold in time, it will be a big loss.
Regarding the suggestions of the officials below, Luan Xiaochen seemed to have not heard of it. Not only that, but he also sent people to Chiji City in the name of the governor to urge the goods, which was all the confidence that Yang Chendong gave him.
In the face of Luan Xiaochen's approach, many officials expressed their puzzlement, and some straight-tempered people have begun to write to Chijicheng, raising questions about whether Luan Xiaochen is capable of being the governor of Laos.
