Dominate the Country

"I broke the rules, but I only broke your rules."

Chen Yu looked at Pang Yun in front of him and smiled indifferently. He implied that the 'rules' were only your rules, not my rules. His attitude was quite arrogant.

Pang Yun was Pang Zhenkun's nephew. He had never entered the officialdom, but was more involved in the business world. This time he came to visit Chen Yu because Pang Zhenkun's son had gone to America, and he was already the actual host of the Pang family.

"Uncle, the King of Guo has a sharp personality and a tough attitude. This is what the nephew expected. But this 'toughness' is also divided into categories. It is toughness that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, or toughness with full confidence. That feeling is different." What confused Pang Yun the most about the King of Guo was that the King of Guo, who obviously had nothing to rely on, acted as if he had a real big backer and was full of confidence.

This feeling is not home. Pang Yun is also a man in his forties. He has been in the business world for more than 20 years. He can still distinguish this clearly.

Pang Zhenkun narrowed his eyes. He recalled Chen Yu, the King of Guo, in his mind. He was a capable man and a sharp man. The emperor had suppressed him before, and Pang Zhenkun knew this. No matter how unconvinced Chen Yu was, he could not withstand the emperor's overwhelming pressure. But Pang Zhenkun also felt that Chen Yu would cause trouble again sooner or later, and this "100 acres of land grant" was a proof.

But Pang Zhenkun thought more deeply than Pang Yun.

Did Chen Yu rely on something to do this this time?

100 acres of land per capita is a huge number, far exceeding the previous vassal states and vassal states. This will be like a ferocious black fish jumping into a calm fish pond, messing up the agreements of the vassal states in North America and the vassal states in South America, and tearing them into pieces. No one would give up a hundred acres of good farmland and take the twenty or thirty acres of land.

Pang Zhenkun thought again, could Chen Yu do this with the support of the emperor behind him?

Because Chen Yu, a smart man, could not tear his face with so many uncles, brothers, and the civil and military nobles of Chen Han without any guarantee. Does his Guo State still want to mix in America in the future?

There must be a great force supporting him.

Pang Zhenkun thought about it, this could really be the current Emperor Chen.

Otherwise, where did Chen Yu get so bold? He offended everyone, and only Emperor Chen could calmly collect the bottom for him.

This would be troublesome?

Pang Zhenkun thought about the conditions offered by his family and the conditions offered by Chen Yu. Did Emperor Chen want them to cut flesh and bleed? You know, when Chen Han first involved North America, and even when he was operating Nanmingzhou and Nanyang before, he was very stingy.

The immigration conditions at that time were much worse than the current immigration conditions.

"Yes, the current immigration conditions are much higher than before. Why don't you see that the per capita wealth of Chen Han's people is much higher than it was thirty years ago?"

In the Prince of Yu's Mansion, Chen Ding looked at the people sitting below him. These people were his supporters and also one of the princes of the South American vassal states. These people came to Chen Ding now because of Chen Yu, the troublemaker.

Now the battle for Chen Han's throne has come to an end. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Ding's ascension is a foregone conclusion. In the eyes of some of Chen Ding's supporters, Chen Yu is a loser. It would be fine if he didn't keep his tail between his legs, but now he is..., he is simply ignorant of life and death.

But they didn't expect that what they heard from their "leader" was such a sentence: The per capita wealth of Chen Han's people is much higher now than it was thirty years ago?

They really haven't thought about this question.

Speaking of it, Chen Yu's "coming to the fore" this time is really because of Chen Ming's efforts behind the scenes, and what is the reason? That's also very simple, it's the sentence just now.

Thirty or forty years ago, when Chen Han first started to play with immigration, the immigrants at that time were absolutely paupers, with nothing but four walls and no place to stand. This can be said to be the best portrayal of them. So the immigration conditions at that time did not need to be set too high.

And now?

It is not impossible to find people who are so poor that they only have one life left in the whole country. But there are definitely not tens of thousands, countless.

So, the government has to improve the treatment. Is this a better way to lure immigrants?

With such a large territory and such vast fields in America, if there are not 70 or 80 million immigrants, when will Chinese immigrants be able to completely assimilate the Indians?

But Chen Ming signaled to his subordinates several times, but no one took the initiative. I don’t know if they are pretending to be blind or really blind.

But Chen Ming was not going to try again. It happened that Chen Yu came up at this time, so fortunately, Chen Ming pushed him.

Chen Ding watched several supporters leave with disappointment on their faces, and he sat on the chair without moving. The curtain behind him swayed, and a figure lifted the tassel of the curtain and walked out from the side. If the people from before were still here, they would be shocked to see this person, because he was Chen Ding's most dangerous enemy before - Chen Yu, the King of Guo.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

The change in the relationship between Chen Ding and Chen Yu perfectly illustrates this sentence. Chen Ding is the successor of Chen Ming. Chen Ming just started this matter. It was mainly the cooperation between Chen Ding and Chen Yu. At most, Chen Ming pushed them twice in secret~~

"This person really can't let go of the little advantage in front of him." Chen Yu's face was full of disdain.

Chen Ding did not refute, but sighed and said: "It is indeed a bit disappointing."

These people are running a country, not a company. The key is to lay a solid foundation for the country as soon as possible. And what is the foundation of a country? population.

What kind of country is it without people?

Look at the Netherlands in Europe. How come there are not one million Dutch people, but a full 10 million people? Can the French still annex it easily? There are also Switzerland and Portugal, these are real examples.

Population is the foundation of a country. , without people, there is no country.

But what about these people? But they feel sorry for the land in their hands, and therefore reject the population. How irrational this is, how sacrificing the foundation to seek the last.

Only population can create wealth. Without people, can land automatically produce food, or can mines automatically produce mines?

"It's not that they don't understand this truth, it's just that they can't let it go. In a word, they still can't let it go."

…

While brothers Chen Ding and Chen Yi were chatting here, a farewell scene was going on in the courtyard of the Li family.

"Well done, President Zhang..."

"Brother Li, walk slowly..."

Li Hao personally escorted these people out of the gate.

"The eldest son, stay here and stay..."

These people who were sent away all seemed to be well-known figures in Chen Han's business world, but now they were respectful to Li Hao, not to mention Li Kun.

In front of the uncle's house, Li Hao was saying goodbye to everyone. No one here is wearing anything resplendent, many people are simple and plain, and the colors are very bland. Just looking at their appearance, they look like a group of ordinary people. But this is a bun that has meat but not pleats. It is low-key and has connotation.

Which of these ordinary people is not a powerful person when they say their name?

For example, the old man wearing light blue cotton silk looks like a teacher, but in fact he is Zhou Junren, a big businessman from Wuhan who has served as the president of the Northern Hubei Chamber of Commerce for three consecutive years in the past ten years. He has a lot of business in the two lakes, Sichuan, the Central Plains, and Jiangnan. A business tycoon who is very influential in the entire Chinese business community, and the connections behind him can directly lead to Longting.

The Zhou family, which started as a carriage, horse and boat shop, hotel and restaurant, and food supply, suffered a lot when Chen Ming's army entered northern Hubei. The grain trade route was completely gone, and the carriage, horse, and boat shops were confiscated by Chen Han's army, which was still the "Fuhan Army" at the time. Apart from the old relationships, the entire family only had a few restaurants and hotels left.

When Chen Ming held a business conference in Lushan, another big merchant in Wuchang, the Zhao family, who was as famous as the Zhou family, Zhao Wenbo had just arrived in Lushan when he was summoned by Chen Ming, then Lu Gong. This was the first time for the entire Hubei business group. The glory of both.

The Zhou family has been oppressed by the Zhao family for twenty years and has not turned around. It was the Zhao family who broke up the family themselves. After Zhao Wenqi and Zhao Wenbo died, the leading figure in the Zhao family was Zhao Jingchun and Zhao Yanshou, the son of the second master of the Zhao family. His father, Zhao Wenyi, was Zhao Wenqi's younger brother and Zhao Wenbo's older brother. Zhao Jingchun is the eldest son of the next generation of the Zhao family, but he did not live in the shopping mall, but entered the officialdom. He first became the magistrate of Wuchang. Although it was indeed unfortunate for the magistrate to be attached to Guo, Wuchang's special status made this step a very solid foundation. Now he has gradually reached the position of a feudal official. It can be said that he is the Zhao family's strongest support.

However, as Zhao Wenqi and Zhao Wenbo died of illness, the relationship between Zhao Jingchun and his cousins ​​became more and more rigid, and the differences became more and more serious. By ten years ago, they were intensifying, and the conflicts were irreconcilable. The final result was Separate families.

Zhou Junren also used this opportunity to surpass the Zhao family in one fell swoop. Not only did he become the president of the Northern Hubei Chamber of Commerce, he also expanded his family business horizontally into multiple industries such as the textile industry, venture capital, and pawnshops in the past ten years, and many of these industries have been Zhaojiapan's long-standing territory. Li Hao's wealth and energy cannot be underestimated.

Of course, the Zhou family cannot be compared with the Li family. Although the latter's industries are only concentrated in Jiangnan and Lingnan, their influence has spread to the entire Chen-Han Empire early. Especially during this period, as Chen Ding took over the throne, the influence of the Li family has rapidly expanded to all parts of the country.

Whether it is Nanming Prefecture or Central Asia, it can be said that as long as the power of the Chen Han Empire can reach, that is where the Li family's influence will be extended.

The Li family is the 'leader' of merchants in the world. Although the Li family's daily behavior is not much more high-profile than Zhou Junren's, and their own assets cannot be compared with those real wealthy merchants from all over the country, they cannot stop their girls from giving birth to a child. A good son.
