Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour passed by in the blink of an eye.
time up!
The result came out: both parties were happy.
After thinking about it, Duan Zicheng stood up and bowed, expressing his willingness to surrender. At the same time, he was also willing to use his sharp tongue to persuade the knights in prison to work for Lord Qi.
Is this a ‘declaration of surrender’?
Well, that’s a good idea!
commendable!
Since others have shown pious sincerity, you must also show some so-called trust.
Therefore, Qi Yu made a solemn promise: all the knights who have surrendered will still be under your sole command and no others will be allowed to interfere.
"Master Qi, isn't there something wrong with this?"
"Haha, if there's anything wrong with it, just accept it!"
"..."
So, the matter was settled.
Maybe someone said that Qi Amo was too arbitrary. If this guy betrayed him in the future, wouldn't today's move be like seeking the skin of a tiger?
Don't worry, gentlemen!
The current Qi Yu is no longer the Ah Man of the past, so how could he not have his own in-depth consideration?
how do I say this?
In fact, Qi Yu made the judgment after having a thorough understanding of Duan Zicheng's motives.
That is, why did he come to Qiongzhou and why did he murder himself.
This is a long story, and we have to start talking about it when he was forced to retire.
After leaving the field, he was depressed all day long, regretting his original soft-heartedness and inaction.
After he took up the high position of Second Assistant, he began to deliberately restrain himself to avoid becoming the target of public attention. Yes, if he endures it for another two years, Zhong Yi will become an official. By then, he will be able to smoothly
Climb to the position of chief assistant. Who would have thought that this plan would eventually come to nothing...
If I had known this, I should have used poisonous tactics to kill the political opponents!
Alas, it's too late to say anything now!
Now, he was just a hemiplegic patient suffering from the sequelae of a stroke, and could no longer be reused by the court. He was so moved that he gave himself the nickname of Canmu layman.
A single word directly expressed his tragic feelings.
Now that your official career is over, you should consider other options.
So, he retreated to the next best thing and came up with the pragmatic idea of making money: do business and make big money!
Having held a high position, he could see the development potential of Qiongzhou at a glance. The reason was simple, because the sea ban there had been completely relaxed.
However, after he actually came to Qiongzhou, he found that the situation here was very different from what he had imagined. With such a stable public security environment, how could he have the conditions to smuggle firearms and resell illegal salt?
Or, do other types of business trade?
It’s not appropriate either. It can’t compete with these experienced local businessmen.
Since there was no opportunity for chance, it was better to lurk first and then wait for the opportunity. So, he adjusted his strategy in time and switched to recruiting and raising followers to secretly develop his strength.
The reputation of the former Second Assistant to the Cabinet was truly worthy of his reputation. Within half a year, a group of chivalrous people came here to admire his reputation and worshiped Duanzi as their master to be driven around.
After gaining strength, Duan Zicheng came up with the idea of getting rid of the prefect Qi Yu. As long as this person did not die, his financial path would not be smooth. It was really frustrating. It happened that at this time, Zhong Yi's son-in-law
Yin Junnan came down to the land of Qiongzhou.
If there is a person in this world that makes Duanzi hate him to the core, it must be Zhong Shoufu, and his son-in-law is naturally also within the scope of hatred.
Why not... take action?
While getting rid of Qi Yu, Yin Jun was also killed.
good!
Thus, there was a series of games that followed.
Qi Yu smiled after hearing this and joked: "Mr. Duan wants to find a way to make money, why don't he come to the government office and ask for it from me? Even with our past friendship, I can't categorically refuse him!"
Duan Zicheng smiled bitterly and said: "What Duan wants to do is smuggling, how can he openly ask for it from your side? That's why I have the intention of killing you."
Now that the words had been spoken, the two of them had settled their differences.
At this time, talking about the past events of fighting and killing is just a piece of nonsense, and no one cares about it.
Qi Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, then said seriously: "To be honest, Mr. Duan, I recently want to start a women's clothing factory. I wonder if the eldest son of your family is willing to invest in it?"
"Women's clothing?"
"good!"
"..."
With these words, Qi Yu revealed his cheongsam plan.
He said that at present, the two major conditions for setting up a garment factory are mature and can be started at any time.
What are the two major conditions?
Let’s see:
The first is the required factory building.
There is no need to worry about this. Since last year, the factory has been building factory facilities non-stop. They are already available and there is no need to wait.
There are also issues regarding machinery and equipment.
Regarding this, Qiyu plans to learn from the pedal sewing machines from the previous life and copy and modify them to complete future batch operations. Although it is still far from the ideal efficiency, it is far better than the stitch by stitch of traditional craftsmanship.
Pedal sewing machine?
Can this be achieved?
Probably... almost.
Think about it, Mahan was a clockmaker who specialized in fine work. How could such an instrument be so hard for him?
If it doesn't work, throw two more gold bricks to encourage it.
The only worry is the track problem, which is the technical difficulty that Mahan urgently needs to solve. Alas, if rubber is available now, it will become much easier to handle.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu couldn't help but glance towards the distant southeast.
Duan Zicheng listened very carefully to the garment factory's production plan. After analyzing it secretly, he came to his own conclusion: not only was this deal feasible, but it also hid huge profits.
This is simply a free inheritance for my son.
Consciousness promotion is the basic awareness of smart people.
Duan Zicheng was once the second assistant in the previous cabinet, so how could he not be good at human affairs?
Therefore, he bowed and thanked you: "From now on, Duan will be relying on you, Mr. Qi! If you have anything to do, please just ask me. I will definitely be there for you."
"Haha, that's great! I have a husband, I am like a fish in water, it is really a blessing in life!"
…
For Qi Yu, conquering Duan Zicheng is indeed a good thing, which makes him even more powerful.
However, Peng Wenchang didn't think so.
"Sir, Duan Zicheng is an insidious and cunning person. Why do you still reuse a treacherous villain like him?"
"Master, don't be impatient, please listen to me in detail..."
After serving tea, Qi Yu followed the logic and explained to him: "This person is indeed a bit sinister in his behavior, but I just value this aspect of him." After a pause, he continued: "I believe you can see it too.
Well, for now, our Qiongzhou has made great strides in development, and it won’t be long before we are on the world stage.”
Peng Wenchang nodded and replied: "Well, there are already overseas businessmen coming here to visit here, and it will be even more so in the near future. The talk of being on the world stage is indeed true."
"Then, Master, you know that when dealing with foreigners, you not only have to have your own strength, but you also have to be good at using some unconventional rules, and Duan Zicheng is such a person." Qi Yu said with a smile.
Peng Wen long thought about the former Andre, then he stroked his beard and nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed not appropriate to discuss the conversion of barbarians with the methods of Confucius and Mencius. Unconventional methods are most suitable."
"Haha, what Master said is true!" Qi Yu put his hands behind his back and paced while saying: "Let me tell you a hypothetical scenario. If one day, there is a military conflict between us and foreign countries, we need to send troops to resist.
, this Duanzi is a rare commander-in-chief. With his vision and height, he can definitely be entrusted to you."
This is not because Qi Yu deliberately promoted Duan Zicheng, but this person is indeed of a high standard.
Just kidding, how can a dignified secondary minister of a country be a mediocre person? The country's economy, politics, finance and taxation, and military, are all things that he is not familiar with?
Therefore, as long as he is not disloyal, he can be reused.
Qi Yu smiled faintly and said: "The property given to him looks good on the surface, but it is actually a shackle that binds him. With such a shackle, what other ideas can he have?"
