Chapter 285 Give me a big bear hug
Ye Baiqing sacrificed herself, cultivated the beauty, and finally got the invitation of Governor Peter.
This time it was not a banquet, but a family banquet, only Peter, Larisa, and Ye Baiqing were there.
Ye Baiqing brought several jars of aged wine that had been cellared for more than 20 years as a gift. Peter asked someone to open the jars, and the room instantly filled with a strong aroma of wine, making everyone want to get drunk.
"Dear Mr. Bai Qing, are you sure this is wine?" However, when Peter looked into the wine jar, he couldn't help frowning.
Because the jar is not filled with wine, but half of the jar is thick green liquid... Or is it that the wine is broken?
"Haha, Governor Peter doesn't know something. This is an old wine with the essence in it. It's undrinkable like this. It needs to be mixed with some new wine."
As Ye Baiqing spoke, she opened another jar of new wine, poured it in with her own hands, picked it up and shook it twice, so that the new wine and fermented wine would blend together, and then poured it out into a green and fragrant wine.
"Oh, my God, I can swear to the ghost of my grandpa, this is the best wine I've ever drank in my life!" Governor Peter impatiently picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose to smell it Smell it, then drank it down, and then praised it loudly.
"As long as Governor Peter likes it, that's fine." Ye Baiqing said with a smile.
"I like it very much, my dear friend." Governor Peter opened his arms and gave Ye Baiqing a big bear hug.
The opening atmosphere was good.
"We have a lot of fine wines like this in China, and I would like to give them all to you, Governor General, to taste and appreciate, but it's too far away from our Great Zhou, and it's very difficult to transport them." Ye Baiqing took the opportunity to talk about serious business .
"Mr. Bai Qing, you are so stupid, then you don't need to transport by land, you can transport by sea, this is a port, did you forget?" Larissa covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly, taking advantage of Peter not paying attention, He even cast a wink at Ye Baiqing, which means that I am talking to you, you have to remember how good I am to you...
"But that only needs Governor Peter's consent." Ye Baiqing said, "Otherwise, my cargo ship wouldn't dare to come over."
"Do you have cargo ships? How many?" Peter asked suddenly.
"Yes, I have one. If you ask me how many there are? Hehe, I can't tell. There are dozens or even hundreds of ships." Ye Baiqing laughed.
"I don't think it's your cargo ship, but a merchant ship?" Governor Peter smiled slyly, "Or a grain ship, right?"
"Governor Peter, you are the most aware of the current situation in Yanyun County. We urgently need a lot of supplies, including food, but the transportation by land is too far away, so we can only rely on your port." Ye Baiqing also said bluntly. .
"You know Mr. Bai Qing, our queen does not allow you to use our port in Dazhou, and you are not allowed to transport any materials, so although I sympathize with your situation, I cannot agree to your request." Peter said.
"Da Zhou can't, but I, Ye Baiqing, can do some business by myself, right?" Ye Baiqing raised his wine glass to signal to Peter.
"Oh, if that's the case, it's okay. We don't prohibit private business transactions, as long as you are willing to pay our taxes and fees." Peter saw the tricks.
Ye Baiqing thought to herself, if I am willing to pay your exorbitantly high taxes and fees, young master, will I still come to fuck you?
Why don't you grab the 50% tax!
In fact, it is robbing.
You dog robbers!
"In that case, Mr. Bai Qing won't be able to make any profit." Larissa said hastily, "In fact, what Mr. Bai Qing means is to cooperate with us to establish a trading company..."
"That's right. I would like to cooperate with Mr. Bai Qing. You know, I like you, but I don't know how you plan to cooperate with me?" Peter laughed.
Isn't it cooperation at all?
To put it bluntly, just send him money!
This guy Peter is greedy, so he opened his mouth like a lion, demanding a 20% commission for each shipment.
Moreover, each ship has to provide a detailed manifest after entering the port, and he has to send people on board to check, what if you ship any contraband?
Such as military supplies.
What the hell is it military supplies or is he in charge?
"It turns out that you, Governor Peter, have no sincerity at all, so we can't negotiate this business." Ye Baiqing expressed his disappointment, sighed and raised his glass, "I wish the governor and his wife a happy life and a wealth of wealth." It means not to talk about it.
"I think Mr. Bai Qing, you have misunderstood. Of course Peter is sincere, otherwise he would not have invited you, isn't it my dear?" Larissa played the role of this lubricant.
"No, no, I think Governor Peter has misunderstood me. Until these misunderstandings are resolved, we have no possibility of cooperation, but of course, we are still good friends. Wait until the construction of the road from Changshan Prefecture to Haining Bay three years later. After I recover, I can still guarantee that the governor can drink fine wine from China every day."
Ok? Both Peter and Larissa were taken aback.
You want to build roads?
From Changshan Prefecture to Haining Bay?
This is a distance of six or seven hundred miles, with the Yanyun Mountain Range in between...
Ye Baiqing seemed to realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly changed the subject, trying to cover it up, but Peter kept chasing after her, and kept asking when you plan to start working on this road?
In the end, Ye Baiqing was forced to have no choice but to say that this was the meaning of the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and he wanted to build the road a long time ago.
Because there has never been a road between Yanyun County and Dazhou that can pass a million troops, this made it impossible to mobilize troops and a large amount of food and supplies in time when Yanyun County was invaded.
The sudden arrival of the Xianbo people this year made the emperor of Zhou even more determined to build the road. He decided to build the road within three years at all costs!
As long as this road is repaired, everything will be fine.
The 700-mile road is still separated by a large mountain, and it will be repaired within three years. It sounds unbelievable, but Peter firmly believes it.
Because the population of Dazhou is really too many, as many as hundreds of millions!
As long as Li Wanjiang decides to build this road, theoretically he can recruit hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of migrant workers!
With so much manpower gathered, let alone three years, it might be completed in two or even more than a year!
If this road is repaired, it will be a great disadvantage to him, Peter, and Rose.
Now the Dazhou Navy has just been established, but with their terrifying national strength, they will definitely grow stronger in three years, and they will definitely regain the Shunfeng Harbor by then.
With Ross's powerful fleet, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with their navy, but the problem is that once Li Wanjiang deploys heavy troops in Changshan Prefecture and cooperates with the navy, if the sea and land fight together, Shunfeng Harbor will be attacked on both sides, and he will not be able to defend it no matter what. of!
Anyway, he, Peter, will definitely not be able to keep it.
