Chapter 80 Gold and Black Gold

——When the news that the emperor dismissed a series of officials in Wuding Prefecture made headlines, Ye Zhao had already returned to the capital.

The magistrate of Wuding was dismissed, and his son was accused of waiting for the court's ruling on multiple charges. The top leader of the Supervisory Bureau of Wuding Prefecture and the Chief Political Envoy of the Council were also dismissed.

In fact, Ye Zhao was also considering a problem. Whether it was the prefect of Wuding Prefecture, the supervisor of the Supervision Bureau, and the Speaker of the Council, he actually did not make any major mistakes.

Now it seems that the magistrate of Wuding Prefecture has been repeatedly held, and the supervisor of the Supervisory Bureau and the Speaker of the Council also have more or less the meaning of being implicated in the dynasty era of "knowing but not reporting".

This large number of officials removed seemed to violate the spirit of modern law.

However, the magistrate of Wuding Prefecture opened a casino and bullied goodness. If he was always kept in the dark, then he could not understand his family's affairs, how can he be competent for the political affairs of one prefecture and eight counties?

Needless to say, the supervisor of the Supervision Bureau is dereliction of duty.

The Council of the Council, the local Council of the Council does not have much power now, but it is somewhat similar to the functions of the former censor, and has the obligation to express his grievances to the higher-level Council for local omissions.

Even if you are sitting, Ye Zhao feels that you cannot blindly introduce laws in later generations now. For example, if the immediate relatives of an official violate the law in his jurisdiction, even if you are sitting, you can formulate a charter based on the severity of the circumstances, from warnings to demotions or even dismissals.

Yingtai Xiangluan Pavilion, the autumn outside is bleak, the blue waves overflow, but the spring is full of spring on the second floor of the attic. It has been a long time since the whole family has been lively. Today, all the concubines gather together, the sound of orioles and swallows, and Ye Zhao is very unhappy.

The matchmaker also temporarily returned to the Beijing class, and the West Siberian Command was temporarily appointed as the Chief of Staff Suna.

The chief of staff of the Central Army was originally Zhao Puyu, but later he suffered from dysentery due to physical reasons and returned to Beijing to recuperate due to medical treatment. The Western Siberian Front and the Western Siberian Front can now be said to be connected. Suna was transferred to the Western Siberian Command as Chief of Staff.

Sisi, Jin Feng was telling Rong'er about the novelty encountered in Africa. Gu Lixiayier sat aside with Rong'er intimately hugging Rong'er and listening curiously, interrupting and asking a few questions from time to time. Only she didn't understand the rules. Rong'er looked young and elegant, so she liked her a lot. Every time she saw Rong'er, she would hold Rong'er, so Rong'er had no choice but to be afraid that in Rong'er's eyes, Gu Lixiayier became a child.

Hua Ji was pregnant and sat beside Ye Zhao's orders with her belly straightened, so she was not allowed to run around. Hua Ji was naturally obedient.

Aiyue Yiori was careful and sat beside Hua Ji to take care of her.

Ye Zhao was talking to the matchmaker and Sharapova about Russia.

When Sharaba was really indifferent to the concept of the country, she wanted to be sweet-hearted to occupy the entire Russia. She was saying, "My matchmaker, when will you go to fight Moscow and St. Petersburg?"

The matchmaker laughed and said, "I don't know, it's up to your sweetheart."

Sharava looked at Ye Zhao expectantly and said, "I haven't returned to St. Petersburg for a long time."

Ye Zhao pinched her fair and tall nose and smiled and said, "We can't go to St. Petersburg for a while, but you can go to Novosibirsk with me in two days, so it's also considered returning to your hometown."

Sharava smiled and said yes, then said worriedly: "But when we arrive in Novosibirsk, it will be cold. Sweetheart, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

But Gulisha'er's ears turned around and said, "Will he be afraid of the cold? Once it was snowing outside, and he had to go to the snow."..., but I was so scared..." After all, I felt something was wrong, and I didn't say it too explicitly.

The room was silent, and then all the girls secretly pursed their lips and smiled softly, their pretty faces flushed, and more or less, they were scared by this inconspicuous husband.

Ye Zhao's old face was a little uneasy, she glared at Gu Lixiayi and said, "Absurd words!" But she knew in her heart that she was afraid that none of her wives believed her.

He clapped his palms hard, and Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, let's take the truth and take the risk. Those who don't tell the truth will be punished to choose me or Iori to give a scented kiss." The wolf's ambition is that it's best to choose him to give a scented kiss. If Iori is chosen, it will definitely be quite fun.

After a while of silence, all the girls went to chat with red faces, but no one responded.

Ye Zhao felt helpless. On the side, Hua Ji asked timidly: "Long live, I'll get the bottle?" Seeing that no one moved, she was pregnant and was ordered not to leave Ye Zhao's side for half a step, so she naturally asked for instructions.

Ye Zhao had no choice but to pinch her face and said, "Why don't you say I love you the most!" Suddenly, his feet moved, and when he saw Jin Feng sitting opposite him, he was so charming that he must have hooked up with him with bright red leather shoes. Ye Zhao's heart beat a few times. Looking at the beautiful wives in the room, each with beautiful women with different appearances and beauty, he felt happy and indescribable.

It was absurd all night. I didn’t know how many wife’s room I touched in Yingtai in one night. On the second day, Ye Zhao was still refreshed and summoned Miao Yundun, executive director of Taihe Group, in the Yangxin Palace.

Like Huang Wenxiu, Miao Yundun is one of the most powerful bosses of the Taihe Group. In fact, Miao Yundun is a Dutch native, so strange because of his name. He has moved his family to the capital and has also become a Chinese nationality.

Ye Zhao is trustworthy of the Dutch business acumen, and Miao Yundun is one of the best. He is also one of the supervisors responsible for the overseas development of Taihe Group.

He is responsible for the construction and negotiations of the Maputo port in southern Africa.

Even the heavyweights of Taihexing who could meet Ye Zhao were not clear about Ye Zhao's real deployment, and only thought they wanted to gain a foothold in establishing a sphere of influence in Africa.

Originally, Ye Zhao would not reveal any news to anyone, and now he is not yet at the time to explore gold.

Before summoning Miao Yundun, Ye Zhao reviewed the performance report and asset appraisal of Taihe Group. In fact, it is very difficult to calculate the value of Qingtaihe Group now. Just say, how should the oil group in Nanyang evaluate its value?

However, generally speaking, the entire Taihe Group and its controlled factory industries should be worth more than 6 billion yuan, or more than 600 million silver dollars, close to 200 million pounds.

It is far more than the British's annual fiscal revenue, which has to be said to be an extremely terrifying number.

In fact, even if the invisible income brought to the government by the empire's issuance of paper money, the empire's fiscal revenue exceeded that of the UK last year. This is the benefit of a large population and a large number of enterprises. Of course, the country's infrastructure is weak, and the country's huge territory requires much more public investment and fiscal expenditure than the UK. Overall, the finances are still short of money. Although the military expenditure figure also exceeds that of the UK, to maintain an extremely large army, the investment in the navy is far less than that of the British.

In short, Taihe Group can be regarded as the world's first trust enterprise, and it is a consortium of several trust organizations. In today's world, there are few and few companies with more than 5 million pounds, and 200 million pounds, which is simply a myth, especially most of its assets belong to one person.

It was the first time Miao Yundun met the Great Emperor of China. Even before that, he had no idea who the mysterious big boss was. He just heard that the big boss had a close relationship with the royal family, but he never expected that the big boss behind the scenes was the Great Emperor.

He respectfully reported on the construction of the Maputo port that had begun and how the 10,000 Chinese workers who arrived in Maputo were resettled.

Today, Maputo uses private capital to enter. Taihe Group owns 70% of the land assets in Port Maputo Port, and the remaining 30% are held by Portuguese merchants, Dutch merchants and Spanish merchants. Of course, different shares, the capital investment required is naturally different.

In terms of security, it is the model of armed merchant groups. In Maputo, about a thousand Chinese armed personnel have maintained order.

Ye Zhao sipped the tea, listened silently, pondered for a while, and said, "The entire land in the Bay of Delagoa is still negotiating with the Portuguese?"

Miao Yundun said with a look: "Yes, and the Boers also want to gain control of the Bay of Delagoa, so that they have an outlet on the east coast of South Africa."

Miao Yundun said again: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to declare force when necessary. Most of the African indigenous people and the Boers do not know about my Eastern Heaven."

In Maputo, the Taihexing Armed Merchant Regiment is nominally a Merchant Regiment, but in fact they are well-trained soldiers. Both the Heavy Infantry Imperial Guard Brigade and the Zhenghuang Banner Infantry Brigade have professional soldiers who were transferred to the Merchant Regiment, and there was also a Gurkha Infantry Company who changed their appearance and became a member of the Merchant Regiment.

The weapons of the merchant regiment are also extremely well equipped. Four heavy machine guns, no less than 30 light machine guns, and some mortars and light artillery. In today's world, if not artillery, any infantry regiment-level firepower configuration is far inferior to that of the others.

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "As soon as you click, you should contact more people in the local Bantu native tribes, especially the indigenous tribes of Transvaal and Orans under the Boers rule, and you should establish trade contacts with them earlier."

Although Miao Yundun was a little puzzled, he still bowed to say yes.

Ye Zhao opened the information on the table again. Now the focus of Taihe Group's domestic investment is oil refineries. The oil industry has just started and people are keen to invest in oil extraction, but soon they found that the loss is not worth it. Without a large number of refineries, the entire oil industry would not be able to develop rapidly.

Rockefeller seized this opportunity and slapped the US refineries. He also opened one refineries after another, monopolizing 90% of the US refining industry, and became the world's first oil tycoon.

It is undeniable that although his oil kingdom was eventually semi-determined as violating antitrust laws, it played a huge role in promoting the development of American industrial development in the late thirty and early twentieth century.

However, Rockefeller is a migrant worker and a small shareholder, and is a partner and executor of Shenghexing's oil investment in the United States.

There are domestic oil refineries in China, driven by the Taihe River, and they spring up like mushrooms after rain, which also makes oil extraction on the Nanyang islands in full swing, with oil derricks one after another. In fact, in a short time, in a few decades, the Nanyang oil can fully meet the needs of the empire, and with current technology, it will never calculate the oil fields in the ocean.
