Of course, these southern businessmen, including He Li, have a strong desire to invest in Liaodong. Otherwise, how could they sharpen their heads to win the task of a carrier, which is not too much oil and water.It's just that they won't risk their wealth until they fully understand the local situation in Liaodong. After all, even Shaxi admitted in his words that the war between Haihan and Houjin is not completely over, and the area currently under the control of Haihan It is still possible to fall into war again, and the investment of businessmen may be damaged or even lost due to the war.To invest money here with peace of mind, in addition to fully understanding Haihan's investment promotion policy, the more important point is to determine whether the general environment of Liaodong is stable, and whether the Haihan people can resist the counterattack of the northern enemy.
Even if Liu Shang's tongue is eloquent, at most it is to increase the willingness of these businessmen to invest. Before seeing the situation here, they will definitely not spend real money.About this, Liu Shang himself is very clear, so at the end of this interview, he announced the inspection itinerary arranged by the official Haihan for the businessmen, including the areas where people are more concerned about the resettlement of the people of Dongjiang Town, and the The Northern Front in a state of war.
This tour is more exciting than the previous arrangement in Shandong. For these businessmen living in peaceful areas, the fierce and bellicose Jin people have always only existed in rumors, and it is difficult to imagine the front line confronting them. what an environment.As a commoner, visiting the front line of war with the Jin people may be a rare experience for ordinary people in their lifetimes. When they go back, they can also brag about their adventures to their relatives and friends in their hometown.
Although He Li was calmer than other businessmen, his heart beat faster when he heard such an arrangement.Although he is not a warrior, what man has not had a heroic dream in his heart?Although it is impossible to become a fighting hero in the army in this life, being able to see the legendary battlefield with your own eyes is a dream that has been hidden in the heart since childhood.If you are lucky, maybe you can also see the battle scene between the Haihan Army and the Jin people, and watch how this invincible army behaves on the battlefield.
When He Li was still thinking about it, an impatient businessman asked this question directly: "Master Liu, when I go to the front line, will I encounter a battle between the two armies?"
Everyone was also very interested in this question, and immediately stopped other discussions, to listen to Liu Shang's answer first.
After all, Liu Shang is someone who has seen real war scenes in the army. Hearing this, he just smiled and said: "The combat arrangements in the army are all military secrets. Rest assured, even if you encounter a frontline war during the visit, you will definitely ensure that your personal safety will not be threatened. Of course, during the visit, please follow the arrangements of the military and do not act on your own, so as not to attract unnecessary Trouble."
Liu Shang's caliber is the same as that of Sha Xi, and he will not talk about all possible secret information in front of these outsiders. Although everyone is curious, they also know that since the other party is very tight-lipped, they should not continue to entangle on this issue. let go.
That night, the merchants rested in Lushun Fort. After Shaxi took office, the guest house, which was supervised and completed in a hurry, finally came in handy.Although this two-story guest house has only ten rooms for accommodation, the conditions are far from those of the more mature colonies in the south, but it is already rare in the large construction site of Lushun Fort, at least it is much better than living in tents.
Of course, no matter how simple it is, it is still more comfortable than living on a boat, and at least there is a stable bed for a good night's sleep.For these people who have been at sea for many days, there should be nothing more important than a good night's sleep.
I don't know if it's because I'm not used to the new environment or I'm too excited, but He Li can't sleep. After tossing and turning in bed for a while, he finally got up and approved a coat and walked outside the house, intending to blow the night breeze and go back to sleep.
Although it has been dark for a long time, the construction in Lushun Fort has not stopped. A construction site in the distance is still lit with torches, and the construction is carried out all night.Although it was not clear what exactly was being built on the construction site, the sound of hoes and shovels digging into the soil could still be heard from a distance.Seeing that there was no martial law nearby, He Li walked slowly in that direction.
When he got closer, He Li could see clearly that the foundation of the house was being excavated here. Several processed thick beams and piles of bricks and stones had been piled up next to it, and more than 20 craftsmen were cleaning the big pit where the beams and columns were buried.
At this moment, He Li heard Liu Shang's voice behind him: "Boss He hasn't rested yet?"
"Can't sleep, come out and walk around." He Li turned his head with a smile on his face, and greeted Liu Shang, "Master Liu hasn't rested yet, do you still have to supervise work here at night?"
Liu Shangying said: "There are a lot of unfinished projects in Lushun Fort. Chief Sha hopes to complete a batch of infrastructure as soon as possible, so he can only rush the work around the clock. But I am not a supervisor, I just came out hungry to find a late night snack, just in time. I saw Boss He coming out."
He Liqi said, "It's just that there is no curfew in this Fort Lushun. Could it be that there are still people selling supper in the middle of the night?"
Liu Shangdao: "That's not true, but there must be something to eat in the cafeteria. Would Boss He be interested in taking a look?"
He Li also felt that he didn't seem to be full at dinner time, and immediately nodded to express his willingness to go with him. Anyway, there should be nothing wrong with Liu Shang.So Liu Shang led the way, and the two went straight to the collective canteen in Lushun Fort.After arriving here, He Li learned that the cafeteria also reserved a small stove for the officials stationed in Lushun Fort, so that they can add meals at any time in the evening.
Although He Li was an outsider, with Liu Shang taking him, of course, he also enjoyed the treatment of an official.Of course, in a place like Lushunbao, it is impossible to have too many choices in the middle of the night. He Li looked at the late-night snack menu hanging on the wall, which was nothing more than porridge, noodles, and steamed bread.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Liu Shang opened his mouth to recommend: "The cook here is from the Central Plains, and the pasta is well done. Why don't you try this oily and spicy noodles?"
Since it was Liu Shang's suggestion, He Li would not refuse it.So Liu Shang ordered two servings of oily and spicy noodles, and asked the kitchen to make them quickly.After Liu Shang was seated, he continued to introduce to He Li: "Compared to Shaanxi, the oily and spicy noodles here is better than the seasoning. There are as many as thirteen kinds of spices in it, some of which are not available in Daming, so it is also This unique flavor can only be eaten under my Haihan rule."
In fact, He Li had never eaten this Shaanxi pasta at all. He didn't know what the mystery in the seasoning meant, so he could only nod his head first.Seeing that he didn't seem to realize what he meant, Liu Shang continued: "Many of these spices are produced in the south and are only grown in our country of Haihan. After they are trafficked to Daming, they are often looted by the market. , the price has remained high all the year round. Nowadays, many plantations in the south of Fujian are mainly based on spice cultivation, so rich businessmen who have made their fortunes can also be found everywhere.”
If He Li hadn't smelled the business opportunity, he would have been a businessman in vain. He quickly said, "Then these spices will be shipped to the north, and there must be excellent sales. I wonder how your country arranged it?"
Liu Shang Ying said: "In the past two years, I have been busy transporting people, materials, food, and weapons to the north, and I haven't had much time to carry out trade. Moreover, Shandong is also more wary of us, and many things are handled by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. It is much easier to deal with it than we do it in person. If Boss He is interested in this aspect, he can consult the officials of the Ministry of Commerce for more consultation.”
Liu Shang stopped at the point, and did not intend to have an in-depth discussion with He Li on this topic.In fact, the products that Haihan can export to the northern region are far more than edible spices. If He Li has the will, he can naturally obtain a useful list from the Ministry of Commerce, and then choose the products that suit his business conditions.
He Li also noticed Liu Shang's attitude, and did not continue to ask questions, but thanked Liu Shang for his suggestion first.The two chatted for a while, and the chef had already served two big bowls of hot oily and spicy noodles. The aroma of the seasoning was inhaled into his nose, and he immediately hooked out the greedy worms in He Li's stomach.
"Eat the noodles first, while it's hot!" Liu Shang mixed the noodles and seasonings in the bowl with chopsticks, and started eating.
He Li saw that Liu Shang didn't care about eating, and he also followed suit at the moment, but as soon as the noodles were eaten, the spicy taste made him, a Zhejiang native who eats bland flavors all the year round, a little overwhelmed, and sweat immediately came out.
Seeing this, Liu Shang smiled and said, "It's okay, the first time I ate it, I was so embarrassed." After that, he asked the cook to bring out two bowls of noodle soup, so that He Li could rinse his mouth a little.
He Li drank two mouthfuls of noodle soup to relieve the spiciness, and then asked, "Master Liu is also a southerner, right?"
Liu Shang nodded and said slowly: "I was born in Lingnan, and I have always lived in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, that is, I was transferred to the north last year. I didn't get used to it at first, but later I learned that most of the troops stationed in Liaodong are mostly people. They are all from the south, and some are even from the islands in the South China Sea. Others can march and fight in this place, so I am not so delicate, and I have gradually adapted to the environment here, and this spicy food is one of them. "
Perhaps even Liu Shang himself didn't realize that what he said was not just a re-adaptation from the south to the north, but also a re-adaptation from the two different living environments from Daming to Haihan.It's just that He Li didn't know his past experience, and it was difficult to associate these words with other things.
He Li asked again: "Since Mr. Liu is from the south, he was sent to the north on business, which shows that he was highly valued by the Haihan court. I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is the long-term effect of your country's actions in Liaodong? Intend?"
Liu Shangxin said that your question is really high-end. I have always wanted to know what kind of results the Executive Committee fought against Houjin in Liaodong, but so far no high-ranking Haihan official has made it clear to him. Therefore, he could only deduce Haihan's true purpose half-guessed by himself.Of course, his own conclusions cannot be said casually to outsiders like He Li. As for the official publicity strategy, the tone has long been set.
"Actually, the plan in Liaodong, as the head of Sha mentioned earlier, is to snatch back Liaodong, a place where the Han people live, from the golden thieves. But I want to give it back to Daming because I'm afraid that Daming won't be able to see the land. It was taken away by the other party, so the chiefs planned to recognize Daming's ownership of the land in name, but the actual ruling power still remained in their own hands. In the future, your taxes will naturally go into the treasury of our Haihan. The boss must not have just started doing business with my country, and he should also have some understanding of the situation of my country's overseas colonies. As long as Liaodong starts to develop, the speed of making money in this place will not be worse than that in the south."
Liu Shang skipped He Li's somewhat sensitive question, and then brought the topic back to the business field where it is easier to use his eloquence.His job is to make these southern businessmen firm in their determination to invest in Liaodong. If these people are not at ease about whether the environment in Liaodong is stable, then they should try to dispel their doubts as much as possible, and this persuasion work is exactly what Liu Skills that are still good at.
He Li was still not reconciled, and asked a few more questions. He wanted to inquire about the current situation and future trend of the Liaodong Peninsula. The topic has been pulled back to the economic field again and again.
After a late-night snack, He Li felt that he had received a lot of information, but the really valuable information was relatively limited.The enthusiasm of this Lord Liu is not to be said, but the degree of slickness is no less than that of his boss surnamed Sha. After talking for a long time, he just repeatedly persuaded He Li to invest in the local area with confidence, and the future will be bright. He has not come up with a clear answer to the question He Li is concerned about.
"Boss He, let's rest early, we have to go on the road tomorrow morning." After Liu Shang finished eating a large bowl of oily and spicy noodles, he took the initiative to get up and leave, pretending not to see He Li's unfinished expression.
Of course, He Li didn't have a full stomach. In fact, the bowl of noodles in front of him had only been wiped out by half. He really wanted to take advantage of the night when no one was bothering him, to dig out some useful information from Liu Shang's mouth. come out.But now it seems that the other party is not so easy to routine, at least when it comes to verbal communication, it is difficult to gain the upper hand.
But after such a struggle, He Li felt a little tired when she returned to her residence. After lying on the bed for a while, she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was already dawn.The guest house's own servants woke them up one by one, brought hot water and toiletries, and then informed them that they could have breakfast in the lobby on the first floor.
