Chapter 137 Revenge
Gu Kun really didn't know about the conscience of the world and all the details of Lan Fang's recent happenings.
Just like Zhu Jingye wanted Qu Gang torture and collect evidence at the beginning, forcing confession was indeed what Zhu Jingye hoped, but if he beat someone up, it would definitely be that Qu Gang and Yu Weilie were temporarily unable to make a big move, which was really not Zhu Jingye's original intention.
When Gu Kun deliberately made a flaw and showed his enemy that he was weak, he also thought that Zhu Jingye would take advantage of the situation and even temporarily suffer some flesh and blood.
But Gu Kun could not have imagined that some subordinates were so severely involved.
His original intention was at most to operate with those cases of counterclaims and evidence collectors torture, and at the same time, he secretly compensated his subordinates for ten times and twenty times the cost of the injured decoction.
Therefore, the temporary counterattack on the dock was indeed Long Wu himself who developed a sense of crisis, and was passionate about it. He learned that "his subordinates were killed, but it is absolutely impossible for the other party to pay for their lives after legal procedures." So he made a quick decision to make this vote.
Of course, Long Wu believes that after he does this, the boss will not treat him unfairly.
Because if Qu Gang and Yu Weilie were allowed to escape from justice, or were dismissed from work for a few years and then they would be fined, then Long Wu would not think of leading the team under the boss again in the future, and no one would convince him.
Long Wu would rather choose to never return to Lanfang for the rest of his life and drift on foreign ships, and he would also establish the prestige of "I will stand out for my subordinates."
Of course, some people may wonder: Since in a foreign barbarian country like Lanfang, if something happens, you can escape overseas, then you will be completely confused? Aren’t you able to resolve it with force with a little grudge, and then you can use oil to abandon your ancestral property and escape?
But in fact, it won't be that simple, because if Zhu Jingye's people seek revenge in private today, he would probably not be able to escape. Zhu Jingye is just a local overlord of contractors. He does not have ocean ships at hand and does not have a way to go abroad.
If Sawuyang's people do this, it will be much easier. Even if Long Wu escapes in a small boat and jumps to a Sa family's foreign trade ship halfway, I believe that Sawuyang's people will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. (If Zhu Jingye's people fled to Sawuyang's ship in a crime, they will definitely be "sent" in minutes)
In addition, as mentioned earlier, Lanfang also has a coast patrol of about a company-sized scale, equipped with two gunboats and several patrol boats.
The Coast Guard's relationship with Sawuyang is better and has a worse relationship with Zhu Jingye, but in general it is still fair and only loyal to the Grand Duke himself. These ensure that "flee overseas after committing an incident" will not happen frequently.
These are just speculations and reasoning, and do not mean that these things will really happen.
...
On the other side, Zhu Jingye and Sawuyang were summoned to the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's Mansion is the most luxurious building complex on Lanfang Island, consisting of seven or eight buildings, imitating the style of the Ryukyu Royal Palace. They are all traditional Chinese palace buildings. Most of the buildings have only one floor, and the total area of the palace walls and gardens covers a total area of 60 or 70 acres.
The reason why I had to follow the Ryukyu Palace was that I was afraid of over-the-counter. Because the enthronement level of Grand Duke Lanfang since ancient times was only equivalent to a county prince at most, so the mansion could not be too awesome.
More than ten years ago, when Lan Fang was independent, the Ming-style royal palaces that still existed in the world for reference were Gyeongboku Palace in Seoul, Nanbain and Shuri Castle in Okinawa.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is at the level of the prince's mansion, which is too far beyond the reach. The Lanfang doesn't have that much money, so after going abroad for a visit, I imitated one according to Shuri Castle.
For this mansion, hundreds of millions of royal property have been spent over the years, accounting for nearly half of the royal income.
Zhu Jingye and Sawuyang were soon taken by the guards to the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, Ideological and Political Hall, to wait.
This is a building with a double-eaved hip roof. (The highest beam roof is used for the royal palace, and the hip roof is added. It is not daring to use the hip roof, which is used by the emperor. The Taihe Hall is a double-eaved hip roof. Both the Jingfu Palace and the main halls of Shuri Castle only dare to use the double-eaved hip roof.)
After a while, an old man in his early sixties walked gracefully to the golden seat in the middle of the hall and sat down, giving Sawuyang and Zhu Jingye a free gift.
It’s just that there is no mercy, not no mercy, because it is already a modern country, so there is no need to kneel down. Just bow slightly when you see the monarch.
This old man is of course the current Grand Duke Zhu Youdong.
He was able to restore the country under the colonization of the Brittans, so he was naturally good at doing things, and he was more diligent in his work and had a keen observation ability, so he was not easily deceived.
The name Zhu Youdong is obviously because his family has always been fighting with snakes and sticks, so after being given the surname by Emperor Yongli three hundred years ago, he took advantage of the situation and took it this way.
According to the generation of descendants of the Yan clan established by Zhu Yuanzhang that year, "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou", it was only when Emperor Yongli of Zhu Youlang (Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen was also Yu), the 10th word "Yu", which took 300 years to complete.
So it took Lan Fang another 300 years to use up the last ten words. Zhu Youdong's generation just used the 20th "Yao". As for how Zhu Youdong's descendants would name them in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that it would be so far away, so he just casually.
The third character in his name is also taken according to the five elements radical cycle of "fire, earth, metal, water and wood". His generation is 10 generations away from Emperor Yongli, so it happens to be two five elements cycles, and the radical of his name is just like the proof and inspection, and the word "betel" is the next character "mu".
As for the daughter, she does not have to follow the generation, but she also has to follow the radical rules, so the name of the little princess Zhu Youdong is next to the character "Huo".
Before coming, Zhu Youdong had already learned about the situation a little, but now he still had to give Zhu Jingye and Sawuyang the opportunity to make statements.
The two of them briefly explained the latest developments outside. They must have been referring to the credit and attributed the responsibility to the other party.
After listening quietly, Zhu Youdong made a statement without anger and threatening statement:
"Dare to work, you caused the disaster this time first! You don't want me, Lanfang, to be involved in the selection of foreign forces, to take sides. I understand this, but you actually caused the lives of foreigners. If I don't punish you seriously, how can you calm the trouble!"
Although the employee of Hei Shui Security is an employee of Gu Kun, he is still a foreign migrant worker. Zhu Jingye can catch the other party’s suspicion of foreign spies, so of course he can take the blame. If he doesn’t catch it, just wait for the backlash.
Zhu Jingye couldn't help but scream: "Now ours are two of us, and we have nothing to do with me! And this matter really has nothing to do with me. Uncle, you have to know that Qu Gang is doing things rudely by himself."
Zhu Youdong waved his hand firmly: "Judge is justice, and international relations is international relations! In terms of justice, you can clear it up, but we have to give an explanation to foreign investors. As for Qu Gang being sought for revenge, that is another matter, that is the grudge between the Lanfang people and the Lanfang people, and it is an ordinary criminal issue."
Sawuyang heard it while secretly happy, but asked with a look of worrying about the country and the people: "The most urgent thing now is to suppress the matter first, and I don't know what to do?"
Zhu Youdong thought for a while and ordered Sawuyang: "You go and tell the person in charge of China COSCO that our Lanfang will further relax the access to private capital in the field of infrastructure investment in the future. As for foreign capital, it depends on his cooperation model with specific private capital, and it will not be opened directly for the time being.
In the future, infrastructure projects that cannot be commercially operated will still be fully constructed, planned and reviewed by relevant departments. As for infrastructure projects that can be operated commercially, such as toll roads, bridges, and hydropower projects, they can be changed to "approval" to "filing", with the prerequisite that 100% does not use state-owned funds, and all private funds will be raised by themselves, including private funds to raise foreign funds."
Zhu Youdong believes that such concessions should calm the emotions of Chinese investors.
His words are more theoretical. To translate them in human terms, in the future, urban roads, urban appearances and municipalities, such as urban and municipal infrastructure, will still require official approval and official funding.
However, commercial ports and airports, highways and sea bridges that collect tolls, power plants and water plants, telecommunications and other "infrastructure projects that can recover through operation" have all changed to "approval" to "filing".
If you think you have money, you can invest and operate with your own private enterprises, or invest and operate through the shell of your own private enterprises.
Of course, the strictness of filing is much easier than approval, which is a very good benefit to foreign capital.
In addition, the reason why Zhu Youdong only liberalizes private capital and does not directly liberalizes foreign capital is actually essentially for the good of foreign capital. I believe that China and COSCO can understand Zhu Youdong's painstaking efforts and kindness.
Because after directly opening up foreign capital in terms of policy, all foreign capital must be treated equally. China Capital can come, and Brittania Capital can come too.
Once the threshold for "foreign capital must borrow the shell of private capital" is set, it depends on who "private capital representatives" such as Gu Kun, Sawuyang, and Zhu Jingye are willing to cooperate with. If Gu Kun and Sawuyang hated Brittany and did not give Brittany opportunities, then Brittany would not be able to enter.
This is a firewall that "what countries can private capital choose from foreign capital is friendly to foreign capital."
COSCO probably wants Zhu Youdong to do this.
Zhu Jingye was like falling into an ice cave: In this way, nearly half of the power he had at hand was directly deprived!
From then on, it is estimated that he only has urban roads, and the residential real estate market can be monopolized by Lanfang. Other engineering markets will be eroded by Savuyang and others and the foreign capital behind Savuyang!
Unless, Zhu Jingye also colludes with foreigners.
But COSCO will definitely not cooperate with him.
Unless he colludes with the Brittanians.
But he thought to himself that he was still a "legitimate family", so why did he have the nerve to collude with former colonists like a traitor like Chen Mingcheng?
He also knew that the Brittany hated the most was the Brittany people. After all, the three children of the Prince died at the hands of the Brittany people. Even if Zhu Jingye put down his old face and colluded with the Brittany people, he would not let the Prince know, otherwise he would definitely have no inheritance rights in the future.
"Be dedicated, you can go back and reflect on other matters first, let the relevant departments do their business!"
Zhu Jingye was still hesitating, but Zhu Youdong told him to retreat.
Zhu Jingye's expression retreated in a gloomy and sunny manner.
After watching his cousin leave, Zhu Youdong asked his brother-in-law: "When will that Gu Kun come back? Do you think he is reliable? You and I both have children who die at the hands of Brittany people. You always know my attitude:
I actually don’t oppose pro-China. What I oppose is that when the situation is still unclear, I rashly surrender to a country that has no ability to serve as an umbrella for us, which will bring disaster to Lanfang. We are too weak and no one can afford to offend us."
Sawuyang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said good things to Gu Kun: "Although Gu Kun is also a keen person, he is definitely a sensible person. He will not flatter him when he meets a small character. He is definitely good at protecting the interests of our Lanfang and will not cause trouble."
Zhu Youdong nodded and ordered: "When he gets the gold medal from Japan, you will say that you will use this excuse to invite him to come here to the banquet, and that he is bringing glory to the country and I will receive and reward me. Then I will talk to him in person. Wu Yang, you are also in your forties. It is time for us to discover the younger generation of Lanfang."
