Sir, the property of the Governor's Mansion? !
Finally, the smile on Principal Shen's face could no longer be maintained.
These industries are currently controlled by the Shen family, and they are no match for the Governor's Mansion!
Jiang Sui said that these properties belonged to the Governor's Mansion, and it was self-evident what he meant.
"Mr. Governor? You...you..." Colonel Shen spoke subconsciously, but he, who was always eloquent and could easily exchange fewer chips for more benefits at the negotiation table, could not even say a complete sentence at this moment. Not coming out.
He trembled with his right hand, trying to pick up the cup on the table, but failed to grab it twice in a row.
They gave you enough face and benefits, but you still didn't ask for any conditions or leave any room for it, and just chose to confiscate these properties of the Shen family?
In the eerie silence, Colonel Shen couldn't find any reason. He subconsciously said: "General...Mr. Governor, is this in compliance with the laws of the empire?"
Imperial law?
Even though Jiang Sui thought that Principal Shen would panic and speak in a panic, he never expected that the word "law" would be uttered from such a person's mouth.
Jiang Sui put down the tableware in his hand and couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Shen, I think it's funny when you talk to me about the law."
"Do you need me to help you recall how you obtained those assets just now?"
"Or do you want to receive the tax bill from the Governor's Palace tomorrow?"
"You are very well-informed. Didn't you find out what happened to the person who told me about tax issues last time?"
"Oh, by the way, not only your illegal assets, but also the mine where the accident happened just now. The Governor's Office has reason to suspect that this mine has major safety hazards and needs to be sealed and rectified."
As soon as the words fell, the entire banquet hall fell into dead silence.
In the air, you could only hear the sound of Gu Qinghuan cutting food slowly with cutlery, and the faint sound of sobbing from Shen Rong.
Colonel Shen suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years. After an unknown amount of time, he reluctantly raised his head and tried to make one last effort: "Mr. Governor, it is not in your interest to do this... Do you think I should be punished? I can accept it, but this, this..."
"You are very smart, but not that smart." Jiang Sui picked up a piece of cake from the plate and lifted it slightly, "You are good at taking more cakes for yourself, but you have never thought about it. How can we make this pie bigger?”
"Mr. Shen, development has never been a zero-sum game. Your thinking is too backward."
The many ideas from the time traveler and the understanding of the core territory of the empire from this body made Jiang Sui inevitably rise in ambition when he saw this land that was in ruins and waiting for development.
Being a local emperor on a broken planet, how could it be more important to reach the sea of stars?
How can ruling the impoverished people and lying in a palace made of gold compare with sitting in a prosperous city and leading the Star Sea Fleet?
"total……"
"Okay." Jiang Sui raised his hand to stop Colonel Shen from continuing, "College Shen, what I just said was a notification, not a discussion. Since you are abiding by the old government's old policies, the Governor's Office will not hold you accountable. Criminal liability is already the greatest mercy."
“You stand in the way of development and the wheels of development run you over, that’s all.”
"The defense of the north will be directly taken over by the Governor's Palace from now on, so I won't bother you."
Colonel Shen could understand every word Jiang Sui said, but he couldn't understand the meaning of these words together. However, he more or less realized that the young man in front of him could neither be shaken with force nor win over with benefits.
Why did he come here?
"You are a distinguished imperial citizen, and I cannot understand your profoundness." Colonel Shen did not dare to think about how much property the Shen family would have left after today, so he could only stand up tremblingly, "Thank you very much for your support to the Shen family. My kindness...I, let me give you a ride."
Jiang Sui put the last bite of food into his mouth and waved his hand: "Enjoy this dinner. This is food that many people will never get a bite of after working hard for a lifetime. Don't waste it."
After speaking, he picked up a napkin from the table, wiped his hands, and left the White Horse Manor with Gu Qinghuan.
…
"Eat it! There is still half a mouthful in the bowl! Do you know how many people in the past could not eat this food even if they worked hard for a lifetime?"
At a relief meal distribution point near the black mine, Marvin was sternly scolding a child of about three years old.
"The Governor is coming to inspect the black mine this afternoon. Do you want the Governor to see you wasting the food he gave us?!"
Mo Yu stepped forward and pulled Marven's sleeve: "Grandpa Marwen, he is still young, it is normal that he cannot eat so much..."
Marvin stomped his foot angrily: "I'm angry! You haven't experienced those great famines, and you have only lived a good life for a few days, and you actually learned to waste food!"
In fact, two bowls of gruel a day are still not enough for most people to fully fill their stomachs, but the children are too young to finish it in one sitting.
Marvin and other miners actually understand this truth, but they are subconsciously afraid that one day the Governor will withdraw his kindness, and they are afraid that they will go back to the days of eating grass roots and bark.
So even though the Governor has not arranged taxes for this month, the miners are working harder than usual, hoping to use more ore to please the Governor.
At this moment, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance.
The Governor's iconic car and two armored vehicles opening the way suddenly came into view.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The Governor is here," and the relief center suddenly became a mess.
Everyone gathered together spontaneously, looking at Jiang Sui who stepped out of the car with gratitude and anxiety.
The Governor gave them valuable food. What do they need to pay in return?
The miners restrained their instinct to kneel down and greeted Jiang Sui with loud cheers: "Mr. Governor, thank you for your kindness! Everyone in the black mine will always remember your generosity!"
Uh, kindness, generosity?
Jiang Sui subconsciously glanced at the unsightly relief food, then immediately turned his head and spoke quickly to cover up his embarrassment: "Ahem, hold on to this for a little longer. I came today to announce something important."
coming!
Sure enough, after the Governor gave them a full meal, he would also give them new tasks.
But at this time, instead of feeling uneasy, all the miners felt like a stone had fallen to the ground.
It is not an unacceptable fact to follow such a governor through life and death.
Jiang Sui paused and said: "Recently, the Governor's Palace purchased several sets of mining equipment and took over several rich mines... As for you, you don't have to work in the black mines in the future. A car will take you to the new one later. work place."
"I'll give you four hours to pack your belongings and prepare to leave."
The miners, who had been preparing for the worst, were all stunned on the spot.
