Chapter 1455 Benefits

The surrounding environment of Haihan's area in the southern circle of Jinzhou is complex and not as easy to take care of as the island colonies developed in the south. It directly borders the Liaodong mainland. To the north of the Jinzhou Isthmus is the enemy-occupied area. It will face armed attacks from Houjin at any time. In name, this is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. I think the Ming Dynasty will not be happy to see Haihan attacking Dongjiang Town. The flag line is actually occupied. Such an environment has resulted in the military's status and role here being very important for a long time to come, and it is an indispensable part of the Liaodong colony.

Whether it is Sha Xi or someone else who takes charge of this place, they must obtain the recognition and support of the military in order to secure their seat. Therefore, it was one of Shahi's established policy strategies to try to establish a good relationship with the military at the beginning of taking office. However, when he came to take office, he coincided with the start of the spring offensive. The military bosses all went to the front line to command operations. There was no Sit down and discuss opportunities for collaboration. If Chen Yixin hadn't appeared, Sha Xi would have had to wait for ten days and a half before meeting Qian Tiandun and others. In order to buy time, he did not hesitate to promise Chen Yixin some benefits in exchange for the army. Fang's favor.

Although Chen Yixin was aware of Sha Xi's intentions, he really couldn't imagine the extent of Sha Xi's plan, and he didn't want to think about this issue in depth. After all, everyone is colleagues in the same camp, and Sha Xi has no reason to use this method to harm himself. He can definitely get some benefits through open cooperation. Even the executive committee will not interfere with this kind of transaction, let alone What's more, according to what Sha Xi just said, even the executive committee member Bai Kesi is on the list of investors and shareholders, so there is nothing to worry about.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yixin already had an idea in his mind and asked Sha Xi: "Brother Sha, what are you going to do about this? Should you follow the southern approach?"

Sha Xi nodded and said: "There is already a mature model for colonial management and development. We don't need to find new ways to do anything new. We can just make some small adjustments to the details according to local conditions. First of all, we should establish a Liaodong comprehensive company. When developing companies and raising shares internally, they should take care of their own people first. Commanders and generals like your military will reserve corresponding shareholding ratios. For the specific content, I believe you have seen the prospectuses issued by units such as Qiong Development and Nanhai Commercial Alliance before. Books? In fact, they are all similar.”

Chen Yixin said: "But in the past, when we used money to invest in plantations in the south, even if we had enough funds, the shares we could hold in one place would be limited to very few. Since Brother Sha is taking the lead here in Liaodong, it shouldn't be Will you do the same thing?”

"This is a rule set by the Ministry of Commerce. It is necessary to limit the amount of shares held by each person within the company to avoid a situation where the wealth level is too different prematurely. Of course, there are many ways for people who are good at business to circumvent this restriction. This rule It's just to give everyone a psychological balance." Sha Xi patiently explained to Chen Yixin: "The local officials will have a relatively larger shareholding ratio. Don't worry, I will handle this matter. In the end, it will definitely be higher than the shareholding ratio. You had more shares in the south and the extra expenses were less.”

The colonies developed by Haihan overseas basically adopt two sets of development plans: external investment and internal fundraising. However, internal fundraising is usually the first step, and a part of the shares is allocated according to the prescribed proportion for all members of the public except local officials to subscribe. Each person has a limited share, and local military and political officials can subscribe for a larger share. Since this kind of subscription is the original stock with profit and no loss, there is basically no situation where the subscription is not completed and the state treasury is needed to cover the bottom.

In view of Chen Yixin's past investment experience, Sha Xi introduced him to this kind of internal stock offering, which had little risk but considerable returns. In fact, the specific number of shares given to each person was in the hands of Sha Xi, the leader. Of course, in addition to this, Sha Xi also has other private investment plans. He does not want to give too much of Liaodong's fat to outsiders.

Sha Xi was actually not very fond of the Southern Colonies' open-handed approach to foreign investment development. He believed that although it could absorb a large amount of funds in the shortest time, it would leave the land resources in the hands of external capital for management. It would take ten, twenty or even more years to hand it over. In his opinion, it smelled like fat water flowing into an outsider's field. If he can control these land resources as much as possible in his own hands, he believes that he will be able to operate better than those pure businessmen - after all, he will be the parent official here in the future, and the power in his hands can develop and operate these land resources for him. It brings more convenience, which is a condition that foreign investors cannot match.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. If Sha Xi chooses to control the land resources in Liaodong as much as possible in his own hands for development, the funds and social resources that can be used in the early stage will definitely be inferior to the open investment model, and he himself is very Knowing this drawback, he had to try his best to attract as many social resources as possible in the early stage to protect his plan. For example, if the military is deeply involved, Sha Xi can firmly suppress the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town who are about to move back to Liaodong to avoid future disputes due to interests. Of course, before that, he had to figure out how the military planned to arrange the Pidao gang so as not to backfire.

Sha Xi saw that Chen Yixin's questions were getting deeper and deeper, and he also knew that the other party must have been persuaded by him. The remaining undecided part was probably not that he could make a decision on his own, but that he had to wait for Qian Tiandun's instructions before he could make a decision. Result.

Sha Xi is a person who likes to take the initiative in his own hands, whether it is running a place or negotiating with others. Seeing that Chen Yixin has not been able to give a definite answer, he has already guessed where the other party is uncertain. , and immediately took the initiative to mention: "Brother Chen, you don't have to rush to express your position to me right away. You can contact Commander Qian later and convey my intention to him. He has been to more places than you and I, and he can handle everything." Having seen it, you will naturally know if I say this is feasible. Anyway, several people in the headquarters are qualified to participate. Of course, everyone should share the benefits. What do you think? >


Chen Yixin got off the slope, nodded and replied: "Then I will contact the headquarters first to see what they mean."

Sha Xi was also very measured and stopped mentioning the issue of stock raising immediately. He had a drink with Chen Yixin and then asked about the situation of the Dongjiang Army: "I heard that more than a thousand troops came to Pidao this time. They also went to the front line. How did they perform on the battlefield? ”

Chen Yixin did not doubt his presence, so he explained to Sha Xi the performance of the Pidao Army on the front line this time. In fact, although the Pidao Army has been stationed on the front line, there are not many fighters that actually fight face-to-face with the Houjin Army. They attacked Jijiabao with the special operations battalion, and their shortcomings of insufficient firepower were exposed in the first battle. If the tactics had not been formulated properly beforehand, they might have become a breakthrough for the Houjin Cavalry. After that, the headquarters no longer dared to take the risk of letting the Pidao Army stand on the front line. Shen Zhixiang also knew that his strength was limited, so he did not force himself to apply to the headquarters for combat. Instead, he acted as a firepower attractor and cover outside Jijiabao as arranged. The special operations battalion secretly crossed Chencang from the middle and used explosives to break through the isthmus defense line. After that, Haihan continued to push the main force several miles north to cover the defense line reconstruction project. The Pidao Army was completely reduced to rear defense and logistics, and could only be temporarily stationed in Jijiabao.

In terms of battlefield performance, it can only be said that the Pidao Army has displayed its combat capabilities normally. Due to the lack of experience in cooperating with Haihan in carrying out thousands-man operations on land in the past, and the lack of adaptability to the battle formation combining spearmen and musketeers advocated by Haihan, the performance was actually not as good as Haihan's. The expected effect, but fortunately it did not collapse at the critical moment, which is not a hindrance. However, it is obviously a bit reluctant to credit the Pidao Army with such a performance. At least according to the standards of the Haihan Army, their performance has not yet reached the level of receiving awards.

However, the Haihan army roped in the Pidao army to participate in this battle, not because of their combat capabilities, but because of the name of the Ming army. When Dongjiang Town reported to the Ming Dynasty, the main force in the avenging battle naturally became the Pi Island Army, and Haihan's existence was probably only mentioned in a few words, so it would not attract too much attention in the memorial. This kind of memorial cannot fool the discerning people anyway. As long as the Ministry of War and Emperor Chongzhen are not broken-headed, they will naturally know what is fishy in this matter.

By then, the Ming court will definitely send officials to inspect the results of Liaodong's operations, and they can have a more formal diplomatic contact with Haihan in an official name. Emperor Chongzhen's true attitude towards Haihan may be revealed through the performance of his envoys. Of course, these arrangements are still in the plan and will have to be implemented step by step. No one can guarantee 100% that they will be successful.

Sha Xi listened and silently digested the information in his mind. He believed that Chen Yixin would not have any reason to deceive him on this issue. Based on the other party's description, he could roughly judge the current importance of Dongjiang Town in the minds of the Haihan military bosses.

Obviously, the performance of the Pidao Army did not meet the expectations of General Haihan. However, for the sake of the overall situation, the military will probably still follow the established plan and give this great military exploit to Dongjiang Town, who will report to the Ming Dynasty court. achievement. In order to legitimately let Dongjiang Town come forward, Haihan will definitely arrange for the soldiers and civilians of Pi Island to move back to the Liaodong mainland as soon as possible. This is what Sha Xi is most concerned about at the moment.

"Has the headquarters decided how to relocate the people in Dongjiang Town?" Sha Xi asked seemingly casually.

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Brother Sha, you are the civil officer here. From now on, we must discuss with you the placement of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town. How could the headquarters just decide it directly? Commander Qian also said that this matter When the situation becomes more stable, he will meet with you for an interview.”

After hearing this, Sha Xi felt a little more relieved. One of the situations he was worried about was that the military took its own initiative and directly led the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town to be resettled near Lushun. When the affiliation of both parties is unclear, the other party may not be able to follow the arrangements of this Haihan official, which will lead to a series of troubles. If the military is willing to seek Sha Xi's opinion and discuss this matter together, then Sha Xi actually has some ideas of his own. After all, he has been engaged in immigration work in Guangdong for several years and can be said to be quite familiar with this area of ​​affairs. , the details are much clearer than those in the military. He was convinced that if he took the lead in relocating the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town, it would be more appropriate and comprehensive than if the military handled it. Of course, the premise is that the military is willing to hand over the leadership of this matter to him.

However, Sha Xi is also very confident in this. He believes that the operating space he has left for the military generals in the development of Liaodong plan will be enough to bring them very generous benefits in the next few years. Such benefits will definitely be exchanged for the military. support in local affairs. Even if Qian Tiandun and other generals are transferred from Liaodong to fight elsewhere in the future, as long as their status in the Ministry of National Defense does not change significantly, their industries in Liaodong will continue to operate. The military has no regard for him. The support of the Liaodong governors will also continue in the long term.

If he thinks more long-term, Sha Xi may select some outstanding young people from the families of his two wives, and use the good relationships established with these generals to train them in the army for a few years, and then think of a solution. He was transferred back to Liaodong to take up a post. At that time, you can slowly build up a private armed force in Liaodong that obeys your orders to defend your family and territory. When the time comes, you will become the emperor of a land and can do more things.

Although the two of them had a meal without any singers and dancers to accompany them, they had good wine and good food, and they had a lively conversation, and they were very lively at the moment. Although the two of them had worked together before, there were not many opportunities to meet up for a drink alone. After each of them drank half a catty of wine, the conversation started, and the topic of conversation gradually shifted away from business matters. Everyone told anecdotes about the anecdotes they had seen in the past few years, and they all lamented the changes in the people and things around them in the past few years.

Most of the people in this group were not successful in the society before time travel, and some even came to participate in time travel because their lives were too depressing. But in the past few years after time travel, most of them have changed their identities and become leaders of certain departments and agencies in this emerging country. Although not everyone can become a qualified official, at least these hundreds of people who did not know each other have now successfully run the country and quickly become a regional power. This achievement is worth it People like them are proud of it.
