Chapter 3041
The Haihan Law stipulates that every year on the National Day, the whole country will have a day off.Officials and folks also hold various celebrations on this day to commemorate the birth of Haihan Kingdom.

And every five small celebrations, every ten major celebrations, this is also the rule set in advance by the people who traveled through when they decided to found a country.At this time of five or ten years, holding a grand National Day parade and military parade in Sanya is an indispensable and important link.

This year marks the [-]th anniversary of the time-traveling operation, and it is also the period when the national power is at its strongest. It is logical that there should be a big celebration.

The tenth anniversary celebration in 1637 coincided with the most intensive period of Haihan's foreign military operations, but at that time, a military parade was still held in Sanya.

At the beginning of the year, Haihan launched the expedition to the west, mobilized elite troops from all over the country, sent troops to Luzon, and captured Manila Bay controlled by the Spanish in one fell swoop, which was a gift for the National Day of that year.

Part of the participating troops who returned to Sanya after the war participated in the National Day military parade as a triumphant division.After the military parade was over, the troops under review immediately sent troops northward to the Korean Peninsula to assist North Korea in resisting the invasion of the Qing Dynasty.

Both of these two big battles were held overseas, and Haihan put out all the best and invested a lot.In the year of 1637, Haihan was in a state of war for nearly half of the time, and the whole country was also revolving around the war, and all production activities took war preparation materials as a priority.

By the time of the twentieth anniversary in 1647, the international situation was much easier.Haihan has already controlled the surrounding hotspots, and there is no need to prove his strength through large-scale foreign wars.

The celebration ceremony held in Sanya this year is also more leisurely. There is no need to rush as it was ten years ago, and let the troops set off on the expedition immediately after participating in the military parade.

Another ten years have passed, and the situation of Haihan today is obviously different from that of ten or 20 years ago.

The most notable point is that with the continuous expansion of the country's territory, in order to stabilize the rule, the administrative center of Haihan also needs to move north.

Of course, Haihan did not follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and move the capital to Beijing, which has a poor environment and scarce resources, but chose Hangzhou, which is very close to the coastline in East China.

Regarding the transfer of the capital, the executive committee had already reached a consensus, and there was no dispute.However, the process of moving the capital is very complicated, and there are still many specific problems that need to be solved slowly.

For example, regarding the [-]th anniversary celebration, the location of the venue proposed by Ning Qi must be decided earlier, so that all parties can have enough time to organize the preparations.

Yan Chujie was the first to express his opinion: "Shengli Harbor, Shengli Avenue, Shengli Square, basically every large-scale celebration is held in Sanya. The new urban area in Hangzhou has not yet been built. How can there be such a big place to hold events... ...I think this year will follow the usual rules, and it will not be too late to wait for the 35th anniversary celebration to be held in Hangzhou.”

Gu Kai also echoed: "Sanya's event venues and plans are ready-made, and there are a large number of experienced organizers. If you really want to go to Hangzhou to do it, you have to start a lot of things again. I agree with Lao Yan's opinion , or do it locally.”

Ning Qi explained: "Of course there are many advantages in doing it locally, but Shi Diwen proposed a plan a few days ago to put the [-]th anniversary celebration in Hangzhou and invite us to watch the ceremony there, which will be undertaken by the East China Sea Region What do you think of the related activity funds?"

"Assume the expenses? That can be considered!" Yan Chujie immediately changed his tone very realistically: "The cost of the celebration is not a small amount, and it is also a good thing to save a little financially. Are you right, Lao Tao?"

Tao Donglai was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but threw the topic to Schneider, who was in charge of finance: "What does Lao Shi think?"

Schneider said slowly: "According to the previous budget plan, the celebration activities in Sanya will need to invest around 200 million yuan, and some preliminary work is already in progress."

"If you want to change the location, it is estimated that about [-]% of the upfront costs will be lost in the middle. In addition, the materials and personnel needed for the celebration activities will be sent from Sanya to Hangzhou, which will also increase the budget."

"It is of course a good thing for Hangzhou to save money for the national treasury, but I must remind everyone that a considerable part of the funds required for the large-scale infrastructure projects related to the capital relocation plan in Hangzhou comes from loans from Haihan Bank."

"I don't know how the funds for the celebration that Shi Diwen promised came from. Don't let the money saved here flow out from there."

Everyone understood what Schneider meant.He was worried that Schneider would use the funds that belonged to the treasury to hold the celebration, which would be equivalent to spending the country's money to achieve his personal honor.It seems that Sanya has saved a large amount of activity funds, but in fact the money is just spent in another place.

Ning Qi responded: "According to what Shi Diwen said, the funds for related activities will be raised through private donations. Moreover, the budget he formulated is [-]% higher than our original figure, which should be able to completely cover the old people. What Shi said was the upfront loss and the extra gain.”

Schneider smiled and said: "Shi Diwen is quite capable! Then I have nothing to say, the budget is sufficient, and the scale of the event can be bigger."

What is the so-called "non-governmental voluntary donation", these senior officials present are actually familiar with it.

Those wealthy businessmen who have made a fortune relying on the business resources provided by Haihan have always been keen to make friends with high-ranking figures in Haihan.If spending some money can open up the joints and give them the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with the senior officials of the Executive Committee, there will definitely be a lot of people willing to pay for this rare opportunity.

Zhejiang merchants, Huizhou merchants, and the famous Yangzhou salt merchants all obviously belong to this group.Outsiders may look at them as if they have been taken advantage of, but only they themselves understand the various benefits that gaining high-level connections will bring them.

As long as the connections can be established, the money they spend in the process will be recovered in other ways in other places in the future.

There is another group of rich people who will take the initiative to show favor to Haihan, and that is the dignitaries of Ming Dynasty.

Like Shandong Dewang Mansion, there have been more and more high-level figures in Ming Dynasty who choose to cooperate with Haihan in recent years.

The general trend of the world has gradually become clear, and those in high positions must plan for the future in advance.Even if it is not appropriate to seek refuge with Haihan right now, but first try to establish a personal relationship with the high-level Haihan, and this may become his life-saving straw in the future when the dynasty changes.

Donating money is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way to show favor.And the Haihan National Day celebrations in more than two months later happened to be an excellent timing.
