135 Big Shots

Mandalay, Shunhua Company Office.

Chen Zaixing sat at the desk, listening attentively to the report of a staff member.

"As of yesterday, through territorial replacement, stock replacement and money redemption, a total of 8,000 hectares of land suitable for rubber plantations have been purchased in Monbon Province, with a total of 250,000 pounds of money, as well as 7,000 hectares of forest land and some mines. In order to resettle the migrants of about 62,000 farmers, they also need to take out corresponding arable land in the central region to resettle them-"

"Stop!" Chen Zaixing raised his right hand and interrupted his subordinates' report. He stood up and paced around the house for a few times, and suddenly stopped the trail: "There is no need to take out arable land in the central region to resettle these landless farmers. Whether it is a mine or the Yunnan-Burma Railway that is about to start construction, it requires a large amount of labor. The clerk, write down my next words carefully!"

"Yes, sir!" The clerk standing beside him picked up the quill and folders and prepared to record.

"In view of the current shortage of labor in mines and railway construction projects, it is required to conduct detailed statistics on the number and situation of existing landless farmers and register them to prepare labor for the upcoming Yunnan-Burma Railway Project! In order to prevent labor escape, labor bodies are required to be marked and determined as soon as possible in the form of kingdom laws!" Chen Zaixing said this, looked at the clerk who was lying on the head and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Okay, please see, sir!" The secretary took a step forward and handed over the order that Chen Zaixing had just said in the wooden board, which was recorded in beautiful floral characters, and took the ink paste again. Chen Zaixing carefully checked it, took a huge ruby ​​ring from the index finger of his right hand, dipped it on the ink paste, and pressed it hard on the paper. A tiger head logo was immediately left on the white paper, which was as red as blood.

"You send this order to the counselor of the Privy Council immediately and let him be issued quickly as a decree!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Zaixing took the towel presented by the clerk, carefully wiped off the remaining red marks on the ring, carefully put it back on his finger, returned to his seat, and nodded to the staff who had just reported: "Continue. The next thing!"

"Yes, sir!" The employee turned over a page and continued to report: "Sir, the Hanjing Office sent a telegram. The court issued a communiqué three days ago to auction the Hanjing shipyard and twenty-two ships, including eight paddle-ship cargo ships and fourteen steam sailboats. The displacement ranged from 350 tons to 2,000 tons-" The employee said this, but he felt that his hands were loose. When he looked up, he saw that the document was taken away by Chen Zaixing. He saw that the other party's hands were trembling slightly, and he was obviously extremely excited.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Zaixing suddenly asked sternly.

"This--" The staff member was stunned. Before his mind could turn around, he saw Chen Zaixing wave his hand impatiently and shouted: "Go and prepare quickly and return to Hanjing!"

Royal Palace.

"Husband, are you going to go back to Dashun like this?" Luo Lin leaned on the couch. At this time, her abdomen was already bulging high. She had been pregnant for more than six months and leaned lazily and weakly on the cushion, looking at her husband who was giving orders to several subordinates.

"Not bad!" Chen Zaixing made a gesture to his subordinates to retreat, walked to his wife's side and knelt down on one knee, reached out to touch his wife's little hand, and said softly: "There is an important matter in Hanjing. The court will sell a shipyard and a batch of old ships. It is a good opportunity!"

"Hey!" Luo Lin sighed: "Husband, I remember that you were not by my side when Song Qing was born. Although our family is not as rich as the Heavenly Family, it has thousands of miles of land and millions of subjects. Why do you have to be so difficult? Isn't this a matter of being left alone? Our daughter's family still hopes that her husband will be by her side at this time."

After hearing what his wife said, Chen Zaixing hesitated and replied in a low voice: "Alin, after reading the news from Hanjing these days, these are just the beginning. The cabinet has made an order to sell many industries to private individuals in exchange for money to make up for the financial deficit and launch a new plan for breeding and industrial development! I went to Hanjing this time for this. If I fall behind others, I am afraid that everything will be in trouble!"

"Then let Mr. Liu from Houde Bank go for you, right? Or Mr. Kong can do it!"

Chen Zaixing did not answer, but his silence itself was an answer. Luo Lin quickly understood the meaning and sighed, "I guess he couldn't believe them!"

"It's not unbelievable!" Chen Zaixing smiled awkwardly: "In the business world, we are doing business. When it is profitable for everyone to cooperate, we will naturally work together; and in this situation, the past friendship is put aside. This time, the matter is very important. If someone else can't do it, I'd better go there!"

Luo Lin sighed. She had already heard the firm determination from her husband's gentle tone. She knew that she would shake her husband's steely mind no matter what she said. She turned her head in disappointment and turned her back to Chen Zaixing and said, "Resurrection, I used to like you to be strong and persistent. As long as you make up your mind, there is nothing that can't be done, but now it seems that this may not be all good."

Seeing this, Chen Zaixing knew that his wife was already angry. He hurriedly got up and walked to the other side of the brocade bed, looked at his wife's face and said softly: "Alin, don't worry too much. As the saying goes, 'Ten months of pregnancy', you should be more than three months away from giving birth. I will never stay here for a long time when I go back and forth. I will definitely come back before you give birth and watch our children be born!"

"Take it seriously!" A hint of joy appeared on Luo Lin's face: "Don't talk nonsense to make me happy. The journey between Hanjing and Mandalay is long. If you delay it, you may not be able to get there!"

"Who is talking nonsense!" Chen Zaixing said with a smile: "This time I go there, just to manage the court, form an alliance with the Liu family and the Kong family, and divide the interests. The rest can be handed over to my subordinates! Besides, is the kind of man who is the kind of nonsense who speaks nonsense?"

"Okay, okay!" Luo Lin saw her husband's beard and glaring at him, and looked like he was about to curse and swear. He couldn't help but laugh and held his husband's right hand that was about to raise, and said with a smile: "My husband is a man with a strong promise. He naturally wouldn't lie to me, a daughter!" Speaking of this, Luo Lin held Chen Zaixing's right hand and placed it on his raised abdomen, saying: "You kid, you heard that your father just swears that he will definitely accompany you to this world!"

Chen Zaixing felt the slight vibration from his palm. Looking at his wife's beautiful face, he felt tender in his heart. He stretched out his left hand and gently stroked his wife's cheek, and said softly: "Don't worry, wait until I come back. The government can be handed over to Dioc, and I will hand over the guards of Shunhua Company to you. After I leave, you can find an excuse to release Weiji and give him another thousand taels of silver to suppress his shock. This person is quite prestigious among moderate nobles and peasants!"

"I understand, I want to take this opportunity to show kindness to him, right?" Luo Lin smiled, closed his eyes slightly, gently rubbed Chen Zaixing's rough palm with his cheeks, and whispered: "Hey, it would be great if I didn't have to spend my time on these power tricks. Find a beautiful place to ride horses and row boats every day!"

"Yes!" Chen Zaixing sighed. His heart was flooded with this special warmth at this time, so that he forgot his ambitions on weekdays. But just as the reefs on the shore always emerged from the low tide sea water, twenty minutes later, Chen Zaixing returned to his usual nervousness and calmness. He carefully carried his sleeping wife to the bed, covered her with a blanket, walked out of the room carefully, and ordered to the maid in a low voice: "Come Counselor Dioc!"

Two hours later, Dioc stood respectfully in front of Chen Zaixing, lowered his head, and carefully observed the man in front of him from the corner of his eyes. He saw him quietly looking at the documents in front of him and modify them from time to time with the quill in his hand. Finally, Chen Zaixing completed his work. He handed the documents in his hand to the secretary beside him, looked at Dioc, and smiled and said, "Sir, I've let you wait for a long time, forgive me!"

"Don't dare!" Dioc hurriedly bowed and smiled, "It's all for the kingdom that sir is so busy, and it's the duty of waiting for the officials!"

"Please sit!" Chen Zaixing stood up and pointed to the chair beside him: "Sir, I will go to Hanjing next. Your Majesty the eldest princess is pregnant and can't work hard. If I'm not here during this period, the affairs of the kingdom will be more troubled!"

"I dare not!" Dioc stood up as soon as his butt touched the surface of the chair: "This is just the duty of the minister, please rest assured!"

"That's good!" Chen Zaixing smiled slightly, his face became serious: "Now some people in the kingdom are clamoring and making trouble under the guise of the king ascending the throne. In fact, Luo Qin is the eldest princess's brother and a mother. Don't we want him to ascend the throne? But you have also seen the situation in the kingdom now. Internal and external forces are forced, and the storm is storm. If you accidentally get overthrown, it will hurt her. In a few years, when he is older, he will take some practice and know that the state is difficult, it will not be too late to ascend the throne again. With more than tens of millions of people in Myanmar, and the Emperor Dashun is watching, can we still dominate this position and not let us do it?"

"The people and nobles know the painstaking efforts of the Lord and His Majesty the eldest princess!" Dioc responded quickly. No matter what he thought at this moment, he still pretended to empathize on the surface: "Even if there are a few villains with ulterior motives, they can't cause any big waves." At this point, Dioc paused for a moment and whispered: "But the official thought that some things would be better off than being stuck!"
