Chapter 66: Measure the material resources of Dali, and form the heart of the Central Plains
[New] https://Fastest updates! No ads!
Regarding the agreement on the territory, the envoys from Central Plains and Dali had several "elegant and easy-going" conversations and discussions.
The final result remains unchanged.
Weak countries have no diplomacy.
The Central Plains would not relent, and Dali had no solution at all.
Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Dali Fang honestly ceded Jianchang Prefecture, Huichuan Prefecture and Dongchuan County to the Central Plains.
As the contract was drawn up, Gao Fang returned to Yangjume City without waiting for the handover between the two parties.
Dali has a total of eight prefectures and four counties. Now it has lost two prefectures and one county because of him.
Among them, Jianchang Prefecture is related to the Tea Horse Road, Huichuan Prefecture is located on the Jinsha River defense line, and Dongchuan County is home to the Copper Capital.
Each county has unique value and significance.
Gao Fang believed that his series of actions would inevitably greatly reduce his prestige.
Sure enough, as he thought, the Central Plains army did not retreat, Dali's courtiers did not dare to offend, and the Gao family was inevitably resisted.
Relying on decades of prestige, Gao Fang has temporarily suppressed the situation, but for a long time to come, he will have to sit in charge of Cangshan and Erhai until the decline of the Gao family is swept away.
Gao Zhiwu broke into Gao Mansion in a dusty state.
Gao Fang looked at his eldest son who looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong with my son? The Central Plains hasn't sent troops to Dongchuan County yet?"
After the contract was finalized, Gao Fang returned to Yangju City to take charge.
The handover of the ceded state capital was handed over to his eldest son Gao Zhiwu.
The handover in Jianchang Prefecture and Huichuan Prefecture went smoothly, but there were some problems in the handover in Dongchuan County.
"Father!" Gao Zhiwu said with such humiliation on his face, "Zhongyuan has never sent anyone to take over Dongchuan County, but instead informed the child to go to Huichuan Mansion in five days to discuss Dongchuan County. This is simply unreasonable, and we are all humiliated.
I gave Dongchuan County to them, and they are still picky. Boy, I'm so angry."
There was anger in Gao Fang's eyes, but he still said calmly: "Should my son know Gou Jian?"
Gao Zhiwu said without hesitation: "My child knows that he has to endure the hardships of his life."
Gao Fang's eyes were far-reaching and he said: "No matter how great the grievance is, you have to endure it. I believe in you as a father. The power of the Central Plains will not last long. Once Luo Youdu has an accident, the huge Central Plains court will collapse. No matter how powerful a person is, he will be defeated."
It’s just birth, old age, sickness and death.”
Gao Zhiwu nodded heavily and said: "My child understands, bear the humiliation and wait for the collapse of the Central Plains."
Gao Fang looked at Aizi with firm eyes and a steady look on his face, and suddenly realized a problem. It seemed that Luo Youdu was younger than both his father and son.
It doesn't matter, I still have grandchildren...
Gao Fang comforted himself and stopped thinking about this unhappy thing, and warned: "No matter what tricks Zhongyuan plays, Dongchuan County will be completely lost anyway. We will fully cooperate. Let's see if they have the ability to take over Dongchuan County."
…”
Father and son understood each other and smiled at each other.
"My child understands."
Gao Zhiwu came to Huichuan Mansion as agreed.
Upon entering the government office, Gao Zhiwu saw a person he would never forget in his life... Yang Kaihun.
Gao Zhiwu even forgot to salute Gao Huaide, who was looking up to him, and blurted out: "Why are you doing this again?"
Yang Kaihun's status in Dali is the same as him.
He is the eldest son of the Gao family, and Yang Kaihun is the eldest son of the Yang family.
The two were born to be rivals, burdened with the rise and fall of their families, and have been fighting since childhood.
Gao Fang and Yang Jian have the overall situation in mind and are secretly fighting each other.
Gao Zhiwu and Yang Kaihun represent the future of the two families, and they are directly competing with each other openly and openly.
The parents of both parties came out to deal with the commotion, and the winning party naturally made fun of the other party for not making progress.
For some reason, the two have long been incompatible.
Yang Kaihui smiled proudly and said: "You can come, why can't I come?"
Gao Zhiwu no longer paid attention to him, but saluted Gao Huaide above and Guo Wuwei next to him and said hello: "I have met Marshal Gao! Mr. Guo!"
Gao Huaide pointed to the chair opposite Yang Kaihun and said: "Sit down, I asked you to come here for Dongchuan County. His Majesty sent people to explore Dongchuan County and found that Dongchuan County is too remote and far away. If you come from Shu
Recruiting absentees to come to mine from far away. Laboring people and putting people's lives at risk."
"It's better to hand over the mining rights to you, and the court will only send people to coordinate. The court will divide the profits 50%, and your two families will each share 2 and a half. The court will use 10% of its 50% to pay for all absentees.
Disburse weekly stipends and some disability pensions and other funds."
He glanced at Gao Zhiwu and Yang Kaihun's faces, saw their reactions in his eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you two think?"
Yang Kaihun didn't say anything and said directly: "I, the Yang family, have no objections and are willing to help solve problems for the Celestial Empire."
Dongchuan County has always been controlled by the Gao family. Now that the Yang family can intervene, how can there be any reason to refuse?
Gao Zhiwu's eyes flashed with fear. The development of this situation was completely beyond his expectation.
He never imagined that the Central Plains would let them manage Dongchuan County.
This robs them of their things and then gives them to them to help them make money?
Is it so shameless and shameless?
The key is that he can't refuse yet.
Yang Kaihun's voice rang in his ears.
"If the Gao family is unwilling, our Yang family can do it for us. Our Yang family only needs 10% of the Gao family's income. The remaining 15% will be used to honor His Majesty the Emperor of the Central Plains."
The Gao family was in charge of Yangjumei City in Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, which was also Dali, while the Yang family was in charge of Shanchan City, which later became Kunming.
The two major families occupy the two core areas of Dali Kingdom, and their strength is almost the same.
Historically, the Gao family was able to defeat the Yang family because of the wealth of Dongchuan County.
Now if the Yang family were allowed to monopolize Dongchuan County, not to mention only 40%, he would do it even if it was 30%.
The key is not how much you get, but not letting your opponent get this huge sum of money.
There was a hint of fear in Gao Zhiwu's eyes, and their calculations seemed as ridiculous as child's play.
Can he refuse to accept Luo Youdu's charity?
Failure to accept it would mean benefiting the Yang family. The Gao family was already severely weakened, and if the Yang family was allowed to gain control of Dongchuan County, what could the Gao family do to fight the Yang family?
But after taking over, the people in charge of mining are all their people. Is it possible to send "disobedient" clan tribes to attack their own people, or to openly start a war with the Yang family?
Gao Zhiwu stood up and bowed, feeling aggrieved in his heart, but he said loudly: "My Gao family has always admired the Central Plains, and can solve the problems for His Majesty the Emperor of China. The Gao family will never hesitate to die."
Guo Wuwei took out three drafted contracts and said, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com: "For the Gao family and the Yang family, I will express my sincere gratitude to your majesty. I believe that your majesty will not treat you badly. If there is any situation in the future,
If you want anything, you can send someone to contact the governor of Huizhou."
There was something in Guo Wuwei's words, and the three parties drew up contracts respectively.
Gao Zhiwu handed the contract to his father with some frustration.
Gao Fang looked at every word on the contract and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
"That's it, forget it. If you can send away opponents like Luo Youdu, you can forget about your worries and can focus on the inside..."
It is truly a measure of Dali's material resources and the joy of the Central Plains.
