Unifying Nanyang seems simple, but in fact, there are still many things to do.
"The great cause has not yet been achieved, but beauty still needs to work hard!"
"Don't worry, I will do my best!"
After chatting about the retreat, Qi Yu took the initiative to ask about the situation in Sarawak.
Leng Qing said that the reason why this country is willing to worship the mountains of Qiongzhou is mainly due to the combination of internal and external factors.
The internal reason was naturally due to Qiongzhou's previous righteous act of "killing the rich and giving to the poor", extorting the ill-gotten gains from Java and giving them to each other. People like this who don't spend money can harvest more easily than leeks.
The external factor was the statement from the Valois State. The clear statement in it directly caused the disillusionment of these old politicians in the country to collapse, and they no longer had the motivation to resist.
Anyway, this place was finally taken down.
Moreover, it didn’t cost a single soldier.
Later, Duan Zicheng respected Leng Qing's choice and allowed Sarawak to surrender in name only, but in fact it was internal autonomy.
In terms of responsibility, the provincial government is responsible for protecting their local security, and they need to pay a certain amount of protection fees, oh no, it should be said to be taxes.
Qi Yu honestly expressed his opinions on the future development of this place.
"There are many tin and copper mines in Sarawak. If it was in the Bronze Age, this must be a very rare and fertile land. But now that the world has developed into the firearms age, these resources seem a bit useless. Especially in the After the popularization of the Asian dollar and peace, the status of copper has plummeted, and even the currency attribute is about to be lost. So I think this place is not conducive to the development of mining-based heavy industry."
After thinking for a while, Qi Yu added: "I think the climate here is humid and the rainfall is sufficient, which can provide favorable conditions for agricultural production..."
Leng Qing asked: "Then, can we appropriately support business development?"
"It's okay, but don't go too far!"
"Oh? Why?"
Qi Yu smiled faintly, pointed at the map and said: "How can such a place that is a must for military strategists be built too prosperously? If so, it will definitely become a big piece of meat for foreign races to plunder."
Leng Qing was stunned: "I really haven't thought about this... Do you think this embarrassment can be resolved?"
"Yes!" Qi Yu first gave an affirmative answer, and then said meaningfully: "Unless we can include the adjacent Sumatra into the territory, in which case, the front line can be
The frontier was pushed there, and Sarawak thus avoided the military edge and gained stability. Only with stability can we be free to develop business. "
Leng Qing suddenly understood and nodded in recognition.
As if unintentionally, she set her sights on Sumatra on the map...
In terms of the overall situation, Qi Yu was much better than her, and he revealed the mystery between talking and laughing.
And it makes people feel convinced when they hear it.
This matter needs to be considered in the long term and cannot be rushed.
After coming back to her senses, Leng Qing changed the subject and said, "Master Qi, can you do me a favor by the way?"
Qi Yu was stunned and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Well, I would like to ask you to perform a public and pro-people act here to indirectly strengthen my reputation here. Such an act can not only deter those domestic students with bad intentions, but also send a message to neighboring Sumatra. Conveying the message that you have a backer can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Leng Qing expressed her appeal very sincerely.
"It's possible, but I'm worried that my reputation is not enough to meet your expectations!" Qi Yu said with a slight embarrassment.
This is not a deliberate attempt to be modest, but rather a statement of fact.
In the eyes of the people of Sarawak, Qiongzhou is just a strong local province capable of conquering and fighting. Although they have some support, it is far from the level of sincere worship.
In short, the basis of public opinion here is still relatively weak.
However, Leng Qing shook her head and said: "Master Qi, you seem to be a little worried. In Sarawak, the reputation of your Qi family is no less than that of a king. How can you say that the reputation is low? Of course. Well, this phenomenon is all thanks to the eldest lady in the past, not you!"
oh, I get it.
Are you playing the trick of watching a son respect his father?
I, Qi Dalang, am in my prime years, am I so old?
The diaphragm should return to the diaphragm, and things must be agreed to.
…
Not long after, the secret conversation between Qi Yu and Leng Qing officially ended.
Then, the welcome banquet began.
Amidst the joyous sound of drum music, Qi Dalang walked into the seat with a posture of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi. Every time he raised his hands and stamped his feet, he revealed the unique and solemn demeanor of a feudal official.
The young king, after listening to the advice of Leng Qing's 'godmother', directly moved Mr. Qi to sit side by side with him.
After exchanging a few words, the banquet officially began.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The officials gradually let go of their restraints and began to chat freely.
At this time, an old man who was proficient in Chinese culture suddenly stood up and asked Qi Yu: "Sir Qi, I heard that people in your country call me a Sarawakian who has transformed into a foreign barbarian. I wonder if this is the case?"
"Haha, there is something wrong with what the elders said!"
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Qi Yu corrected his mistake: "Now, Sarawak has abandoned the dark side and surrendered to the Qiongzhou jurisdiction. If this is the case, where does the term 'your country' come from? Now, we drink Nanyang water together and eat food from outside the region. We belong to the same country." It’s a true close-knit, close-knit relationship, and the era of each trying to keep things in check has become history.”
The old man's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I just said something inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me! However, please give me a positive explanation for the question just now."
You old bastard, you are just looking for trouble!
Qi Yu's face tightened, and he said without salt or indifference: "The so-called transformation of barbarians is a general term for those poor places in China. It does not have a clear geographical reference. In fact, except for Sarawak, In addition, current Sumatra and Java are also included.”
Um?
This is obviously a discriminatory term, but how come it becomes synonymous with poverty when it comes to your mouth?
The old man spread his hands and looked like he was asking for advice.
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "I have a saying in Tai Shi Gong's book: A solid warehouse will tell you the etiquette, and you will know the honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing. It can be seen that only when they are full and full of food and clothing, and have no worries about food and clothing, can people's cultivation improve. And As your self-cultivation becomes higher, you will naturally get rid of the low tastes of barbarians."
This old man originally wanted to make Mr. Qi look bad on the grounds of discrimination, but he never thought that he would resolve it with distorted words.
It is not difficult to see from this incident how profound his political wisdom is.
However, what he didn't expect even more was that Qi Yu continued to use the topic to make fun of it.
"Since Sarawak has surrendered to Qiongzhou, it must forever take off the hat of being a barbarian! Otherwise, it will be my crime! This governor hereby promises that in the future, he will support the agriculture and mulberry here, and promote culture and education, so that The local people have truly realized the real benefits and will never break their promise!”
"Good! Great!"
This is the chief minister’s promise!
Who doesn't believe it?
Invisibly, Qi Yu gained a wave of 'official hearts'.
