Qiongzhou doesn't need cavalry because it's close to the sea?
Who said that?
Qi Yu shook his head and said sternly: "It is said in "Sun Bin's Art of War" that danger is more dangerous than cavalry. In other words, once encountering a dangerous terrain, the cavalry should be deployed first. They can attack when advancing, defend when retreating, and be mobile. It is also flexible and has many benefits. The entire land of Nanyang is full of jungles and sparse plains, and various dangerous terrains are everywhere. With such a geographical location, how can there be no cavalry to control the formation?"
This is pure sophistry!
The areas under your jurisdiction in Qiongzhou Province are all islands, and there are no land connections between the islands. Even if you encounter unexpected dangers, it is impossible to carry out rescue operations. In other words, equipped cavalry is basically useless.
I want to go back and think about it, but I can't say it so openly.
It's better to be more tactful.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyu asked with a smile from other aspects: "Master Qi, if Qiongzhou builds cavalry, how do you plan to transport the horses?"
Qi Yu said without thinking: "Of course it's a huge ship."
"Sea transport... war horse?"
"What's so strange about this? Confucius said: If a person has no long-term worries, he must have short-term worries. Who can conclude that we have no possibility of using cavalry in Nanyang? What if our Qiong army wants to land in a certain place for combat, but there is only a lack of cavalry in the camp? If you help out, wouldn’t that mean you’re lagging behind others in the war?”
What? Do you want to land for combat?
Doesn't that mean...opening up new territories?
Hearing this, Zhao Mingyu couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and said to himself: Mr. Qi's ambition is not small!
Now that he has made it clear, Qi Yu no longer intends to hide it.
"Master Zhao, this Nanyang territory looks calm on the surface, but in fact there are dark waves surging all the time. If I don't build defensive sea walls in advance, how can I withstand those high winds and waves? Prepare the cavalry , is a precautionary measure, by no means a malicious waste of resources, it is what the times require!"
Hearing this, Zhao Mingyu couldn't help but look thoughtful.
It seems to be analyzing in secret.
Seeing this, Qi Yu said calmly: "Let's do this. I hereby promise you that within the next five years, I, Qiongzhou, can provide Mobei with unlimited free military supplies within our capabilities. But in exchange, I want to What does Mr. Zhao think of asking for three thousand adult war horses?"
Three thousand horses?
Do you really dare to ask for it, Taotie?
Zhao Mingyu refused without even thinking about it: "Master Qi, you want too much. With Zhao's current power, he cannot be the master."
Without waiting for his reaction, Qi Yu immediately asked: "Are you saying too much? Then, how much is appropriate?"
"At most, a thousand horses!" After saying this, Zhao Mingyu realized that he had been deceived.

Oops, how could I take the initiative to spit?
Doesn’t this amount to acquiescence?
Miscalculation!
When Qi Yu heard this, he laughed loudly and said with a generous face: "A thousand horses is a thousand horses, I don't think it's too little!" After saying that, he didn't forget to add: "A gentleman's words, A horse is hard to catch! As for the war horse, we have settled it like this!"
Zhao Mingyu said with a bitter face: "Sir Qi, why are you so unreasonable?"
"Hey, don't be angry. I'll let Qi pour you a few glasses of wine later to wash away the dust. Then you'll feel better."
"You are much more cunning now than when you were working at Xingtaipu Temple!"
"My old boss gave me a reward..."
In this way, this friendly exchange of interaction between the North and the South was achieved.
Although both parties have contributed, from the perspective of what is needed, each party has gained something, which can be regarded as helping each other.
Everyone is happy!
Since it is a happy occasion, a banquet is naturally indispensable.
Qi Yu attached great importance to this special significance of the reception and cleansing banquet, and made arrangements on the spot.
The location was naturally set at the best restaurant in Qiongzhou - Shi Brothers' 'Really Delicious'.
Needless to say, in terms of dishes, Qiongzhou is rich in seafood, plus a variety of new vegetables from South America, it can be said to be a dazzling array, even the state banquet at Guanglu Temple is not far behind.
In addition to Qi Yu, there was another person accompanying him, the chief envoy of the area, Mr. Yu Haiyu.
He and Zhao Mingyu had both worked in Yongchuan Mansion, and they had a direct superior-subordinate relationship. Now that they were seeing each other again, it was natural to reminisce with some enthusiasm.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to clean up the dust, Qi Yu sent out an invitation to stay here for a few days to allow Zhao Mingyu to observe the next two grand events.
The latter readily agreed upon hearing this and did not refuse at all.
In fact, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a special trip to check the household in Qiongzhou to see if Hong Tao's name was on the household register.
…
A few days later, the business guidance meeting, one of the two sessions, was held as scheduled.
The scene was filled with loud gongs and drums, huge crowds of people, and the atmosphere was extremely rich.
As far as the audience is concerned, most of them are businessmen from all over the world. These people are the direct beneficiaries of this conference, so they are the most enthusiastic to participate.
However, some ordinary people who were influenced by the newspaper propaganda also rushed here out of curiosity. Although they said they were cheering, they actually came to watch the excitement.
Since it was a formal occasion, Qi Yu specially wore formal official uniform to show his solemnity.
He was accompanied by the following people:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yu Hai, Tan Junyan, Qunliu of the Municipal Shipping Department, Zhao Mo, the prefectural household house manager, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce Hai Dafu and others.
The conference was presided over by the newly appointed Lifang Jingcheng of Qiongzhou Government Office.
In addition to the above-mentioned big shots, there were also many newspaper couriers present at the scene. They were all attentive and meticulously recording every move at the scene.
After a tedious etiquette, it went directly to the main part of the conference.
What?
Governor Qi's unscripted speech.
Just listen to him:
"Sufficient food and clothing depend on agriculture, and wealth depends on business. From this we can see the importance of commerce... Commerce generally governs the logistics of goods, and the flow of goods governs the people's livelihood. Good people's livelihood means the stability of the society. Only in this way can we create a glorious and prosperous era in which wealth is stored among the people... …”
"In order to create a fair and just business environment, the governor has specially convened this meeting. The purpose is to publicly clarify the government's attitude towards business. Taking this opportunity, the governor makes a promise to you that all those who come to Qiongzhou for business and trade will , treat everyone equally, and never favor one against another. In addition, we also promise that as long as it is a legitimate income with a bright future, it will be protected by the law, and no one will be allowed to infringe upon it, including the government..."
"..."
As far as meetings are concerned, leaders are basically only responsible for conveying the spirit of the policy, while their subordinates will explain the details.
This time is no exception.
Yu Hai took the baton and explained all the specific rules one by one, no matter how big or small.
In general terms, Qiongzhou Province advocates free trade and does not set any malicious thresholds. The government is only responsible for formulating trade rules, but will never participate in any form of transactions between private individuals, thereby maintaining commercial independence and autonomy.
Of course, if you want to enjoy these preferential policies, you must be a legal operator and pay taxes in accordance with the law. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything.
The above are mandatory requirements.
As far as the current business environment in Qiongzhou is concerned, it is almost perfect.
You see, this place is rich in human resources, has mature manufacturing technology, convenient land transportation, and developed maritime transportation. All the elements needed for business and trade are all available here. What is currently missing is just a guiding policy. .
Now that the opportunity has suddenly arrived, how can we not be delighted?
It can be said that this business guidance meeting was like a timely rain, which directly gave the businessmen a reassurance. At the same time, it also pointed out the direction for their future business plans.
However, some people are happy and some are sad.
Look, all the Fujian businessmen who came after hearing the news had sad faces and seemed very unhappy.
Um? This is why?
