Several elderly people from the Shi family who were walking over also heard what Shi Jinqing just said. The leader walked straight towards Han Du. After the ceremony, he asked with tears in his eyes: "Dare I ask my uncle, is the Central Plains now a world dominated by Chinese clothes?"
Han Du's expression became serious, he cupped his hands towards the north and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, raised your troops in civilian clothes, destroyed the Yuan Dynasty in fifteen years, expelled the Tartars and restored China. Your Majesty founded the Ming Dynasty, and the reign name was Hongwu. This year is the seventeenth year of Hongwu." Years have passed. The land of the Central Plains is naturally dominated by Chinese clothes."
"Okay, okay!" The old man looked excited. It seems that Lao Zhu can win the world, and he is even happier than Lao Zhu.
Next, Han Du told the old man about his plans to establish the Ming Dynasty Old Port Propaganda Department in Old Port and let Shi Jinqing serve as the first Propaganda Department.
The old man naturally asked the same worries as Shi Jinqing.
But this time, without Han Du explaining to him, Shi Jinqing interrupted and whispered the plan to the old man.
The old man was not as excited as Shi Jinqing was at that time. Instead, he frowned, looked at Han Du attentively and asked, "Why did you give the Shi family such great benefits?"
There is no hatred without reason in this world, and there is no love without reason. Since Han Du has promoted the Shi family to be the new master of Old Port, it is such a huge benefit. If Han Du said that he had no other purpose, I am afraid no one would believe it.
For such a major matter, the old man naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Han Du smiled and said: "Those who are not from my race must have different minds! I wonder if this reason is enough in the eyes of the old man?" Han Du said this sentence has two meanings. One is that in fact, It is true that the Shi family is most likely to gain his trust, and secondly, it also expresses Han Du's willingness to re-accept them, the Chinese survivors.
But even so, the old man still shook his head and said, "Not enough."
Non-my family, its heart must be different. This is the truth, but in a giant port like Old Port with a strategic location, race alone means nothing.
For the position of Lord of the Old Port, let alone a race, I am afraid that even brothers would not hesitate to turn swords against each other in order to fight for the Old Port.
Han Du smiled and continued: "The Ming Dynasty will set up the Old Port Xuanwei Department here, and will also set up the Old Port Governor's Office. The governor will be sent by the Ming Dynasty, and troops will be stationed to maintain the tranquility of this place and protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty and you. .Is this enough?"
"That's enough." The old man relaxed and replied with a smile.
The old man can naturally see what kind of impact it will have after Ming Dynasty comes to garrison here. It can be said that by that time, Ming Dynasty will have the final say in Old Port.
On the surface, it seems that Shi Jinqing's official position as a consolation envoy is of no use, and the interests of the Shi family have been greatly damaged. After all, they have gone from being a stickler to a subordinate.
But in the eyes of the old man, this is not the case at all. Since Jing Haibo now has the strength to destroy forces stronger than the Shi family, he can naturally destroy them as well. Even if they become the masters of the old port and develop rapidly, they will not be Jing Haibo's opponent in a short time.
In this case, this possibility cannot be ruled out. That was because Han Du pushed the Shi family out to stabilize the situation in Old Port in order to temporarily maintain stability in Old Port. After all, the Old Port is a port, a place where merchants from all over come to do business. If there is no stability and weapons are everywhere all the time, then who would dare to come here to do business?
The greatest wealth of Old Port is the merchants who come here. If no merchants came here, the Old Port would be nothing more than a barren land worthless.
In the eyes of the old man, although Han Du has the absolute strength to overwhelm Old Port. But destruction is definitely not Han Du's purpose, but gaining profits is. As for Han Du, a new face who has just arrived, no matter how nice his words are, no businessman would dare to believe his words. Not to mention doing business, it's already good to have the courage to come here.
No one dares to come to Old Port to do business. Even if Han Du takes over the entire Old Port, what's the use?
Since Han Du said that the Ming Dynasty would not only set up the Xuanwei Division in Old Port, but also set up a governor's palace, and that the Ming Dynasty would send people to serve as governors and garrison troops, the old man was able to dispel his doubts. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty want to run the old port well, instead of killing the goose to get the eggs and run away like pirates.
Don't blame the old man for thinking this way, but after all, Ming Dynasty is too far away from Old Port. No one knows what Ming Dynasty thinks of Old Port.
The dinner was extremely lively. The Shi family also had a little say in Old Port, otherwise Shi Jinqing would not have participated in the discussion of war or surrender.
The whale oil candles thicker than an arm were arranged densely, and the bright firelight illuminated the place like daylight. All kinds of local delicacies were served in a smooth manner.
Han Du sat at the front seat, surrounded by people from the Shi family respectfully.
Seeing that Han Du took a few sips of wine and then put it down and stopped drinking, Shi Jinqing couldn't help but wonder, "Uncle, is the wine not good?"
"I'm afraid the wine in the wild land is much worse than that in the prosperous land of the Ming Dynasty. It's natural that my uncle is not used to drinking it." The Shi family elder laughed and relieved the embarrassment.
This brewing technology was brought from the Central Plains by their Shi family, and this is the basis for their foothold in Old Port. Just imagine, a person who has been floating on the sea for a month or two will already have birds in his mouth. At this time, if there is a bowl of wine, it will not be exchanged for real money or silver.
"No," Han Du shook his head and said, "Although this wine is different from Daming's, it's just the ingredients used. In fact, it has a different flavor when you drink it. It's just that there is a big show to watch tonight. After watching the big show, Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to drink it just now?”
As soon as Han Du finished speaking, everyone laughed meaningfully. Seeing the other forces' confused looks, they even laughed coldly in their hearts.
Other powerful people didn't know what was going on with Han Du and others. They didn't understand the language, so naturally they couldn't talk to Han Du. Just looking at Han Du and others laughing, they also picked up their drinks and laughed in agreement.
Information asymmetry is really a dimensionality reduction blow, and you don't even know how you were killed.
At this moment, fireworks shot into the sky from several different directions. This was a signal from the Ming Navy that they had succeeded.
After Han Du saw it, he immediately put down his drink, chuckled and said to Shi Jinqing: "Shi Xuanzhi, you can take action now."
Shi Jinqing was surprised when he saw the fireworks. They didn't know what it was, but when they heard Han Du's words, they understood that this was the signal sent by the Ming Navy.
