Chapter 408: Fortune and Misfortune (5)
"I was overjoyed to learn that my mother and child were safe. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I wish you good health. Wang Mingshan revised and revised the telegram on the letterhead, and finally determined the content of the telegram. Among the content that has been abandoned by Wang Mingshan is too focused on being seen by others, or completely angry and pretending not to care about being seen. In the end, Wang Mingshan decided to take his own mood as the only criterion.
After burning the letterhead with a lot of content, Wang Mingshan wrote a message on a blank stationery and asked the secretary to send it to Grace. Recalling the days when he got along with Grace, Wang Mingshan couldn't help but sigh slightly. Those days left Wang Mingshan with very good memories, and Wang Mingshan didn't want to complain at all. Besides, complaining about Grace is also the wrong target, and it is probably not Grace who wants to hit Wang Mingshan, but someone else. So Wang Mingshan took out a piece of letter paper again and began to list some abbreviations on it, and drew various thin lines. Wang Mingshan never thought that pinyin was such a convenient thing, he could easily establish a relationship diagram, but he didn't have to worry about others seeing any clues.
"Secretary Wang, it's time for a meeting." The secretary reminded Wang Mingshan.
"What will we discuss today?" Wang Mingshan asked.
"Today, we are still discussing the design ideas of Nanzhan City." The secretary replied as he looked at his notebook.
"Send a telegram to Wei Kun and hear what he thinks." Wang Mingshan replied.
"Accelerating the Labor Problem of Building the East African Railway."
"Well......" Wang Mingshan simply said that he heard it.
"Mineral Exploration and Port Construction ......"
"...... of Labor Sources for Railway Construction and Mineral Exploration"
“……”
After four or five meeting topics in a row, Wang Mingshan finally raised his head and put the paper in the drawer. He looked at the composure that had regained his composure, "You go to send the report now, and I'll go to the meeting." ”
So on April 2, 1890, Wei Kun received a short telegram. Wang Mingshan's secretary is quite competent, and he condensed the content into two short options, "Nanzhan City, the current sugar producing area or the future huge city, choose one of the two." ”
Wei Kun was amused by such simple and bright words, which was the handwriting of Secretary Wang Mingshan. He immediately called back, "Design a huge city of the future, build with the size of the population of today." Sugar cane fields can be built later. ”
Because of the rank, whether it is Wang Mingshan's telegram to Wei Kun or Wei Kun's telegram to Wang Mingshan, they all enjoy the highest level in East Africa. So when Wang Mingshan was still talking to a group of East African officials, the secretary sent the telegram to Wang Mingshan.
After reading the telegram, Wang Mingshan knocked on the table with his hand, and the officials below immediately stopped arguing.
Looking at the engineer who advocated the design of the big city of the future, Wang Mingshan said: "You first design according to a city that can accommodate 6 million people. ”
Without waiting for the supporter of the big city to show his joy that his wish had been fulfilled, Wang Mingshan was heard to continue: "These do not delay us in planting sugarcane in Nanzhan City, and now the sales of white sugar have been very good. Hurry up and plant it now, and I'm afraid that there will be benefits this year. ”
"Good! It's a good idea! The officials immediately chimed in.
Wang Mingshan was not moved at all in his heart, he glanced at this group of people, and considered the possibility of this group of people making trouble behind their backs. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Mingshan was probably sure that these people must be dissatisfied with him, but most of them had never even been to Florence, let alone knew about Grace's existence. Probably not these people were the ones who planned this.
Since it's not these people, is it possible that it's a guy from the central side? Wang Mingshan also thinks it is unlikely, and coming to Africa to work means that there is no possibility of going to the next level in the future. There is no need for those people to die like this. What's more, everyone knows that some people do almost the same thing as Wang Mingshan. It wouldn't do them any good to make such a fuss.
Excluding those on both sides, only those who are in charge of the work in Europe remain. Then Wang Mingshan couldn't help frowning.
"Secretary Wang, do you have any thoughts on that port data?" Seeing that Wang Mingshan showed a very disgusted expression, the official who was reading the content hurriedly stopped reading the manuscript and asked Wang Mingshan.
"Nothing, you keep reading." Wang Mingshan said. After realizing that he was completely distracted, Wang Mingshan decided to consider these contents after the meeting. Relying on such a thing can't defeat Wang Mingshan, there are many lice and no worries, if that person really wants to complete the goal, he will definitely take action in the future.
Wei Kun dealt with the problem on Wang Mingshan's side, and felt much happier in his heart. When it comes to the big cities that may appear in the future, Wei Kun feels that Africa actually has a future, which means that Wei Kun's efforts will not be in vain. So Wei Kun went to talk to the staff in Port Sudan.
One percent of these staff members must be black brothers, and one percent of them are also said to be Arabs, and because these Arabs were found to be involved in the Mahdi rebellion, the Arabs with whom they were connected were purged, and those who were not related were also suspended from their posts for examination.
Wang Mingshan and Wei Ze have been comrades-in-arms for more than 30 years, and he actually has no special reaction to the emperor and the royal family. However, these ordinary officials heard that the current county guard was the son of His Majesty Wei Ze, and their emotions were naturally different from when facing others. Faced with a crowd of scorching cadres, Wei Kun did not want to lead the topic in any direction related to his origins, he said: "Comrades, I think everyone already knows that there have been some changes in our policy. There is a part of the Arabs who will leave Sudan. What I want to tell you about this change is that we will never allow those who feel that what they have been given by the gods of bullshit to stay in Sudan. ”
A group of government officials didn't expect the current county guard to come up and talk about this problem, everyone was confused, and naturally looked at Wei Kun more intently. Wei Kun asked: "Let me ask, do any of you comrades oppose the option of sending the Arabs out of Sudan?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to ask, let alone what to ask. The style of this prince is really too surprising. Finally, the head of the Port of Port Sudan asked in fluent Shandong Mandarin: "Secretary Wei, we have no objection to sending the Arabs away. But since you said it, I want to ask why? ”
Wei Kun immediately replied: "That's why I'm going to talk to my comrades about this in person. Arabs have always relied on their religious culture to be above blacks. Even if the blacks do not like the Arabs, they have a demand for Arabs in many places because of the relatively low level of civilization as a whole. And now what we have to do is to save the black people from the clutches of the Arabs. And the most effective way to save this is to send the Arabs away. ”
The Chinese were surprised when they heard this, but those black brothers showed a rather happy expression. China has been in Africa for more than a decade, and most of the black brothers in the administrative system of Port Sudan are second-generation, or the group that was included in the Chinese system with their parents when they were young. One of them immediately raised his hand and asked to speak, and when he was allowed to do so, he stood up and said, "Secretary, we blacks don't want to be third-class people. Why do the Arabs regard themselves as second-class people, and we resolutely support the removal of all Arabs! ”
"That's right! Arabs get out, we blacks are not inferior to third-class people! The black brothers shouted.
Wei Kun raised his hand and pressed down, and a group of Chinese comrades and black brothers also temporarily eased their emotions. Wei Kun then continued: "I came this time to have a meeting with everyone to reason and solve everyone's doubts. Of course, I haven't worked in Port Sudan before, so you have to tell me about Port Sudan as well. This time, let's start with a question that looks far away, what do you think is His Majesty Weese's greatest initiative? ”
This is such a big problem, and many people are afraid to speak up because of this problem. Port Sudan is still thousands of kilometers away from the nearest Chinese territory, and it is a place where everyone is puzzled to talk about the greatest feat of the Weese Emperor.
"Many people think that His Majesty Wei Ze founded the Min Dynasty, which is his greatest innovation. In fact, His Majesty Wei Ze's greatest initiative was the creation of the Liberation Party. Many of you here today are members of the Liberation Party, and since you were a child, the circles around you are probably very regional. Of course, this is normal, Shandong students will naturally study in Shandong, and most of the students around him are also local people in Shandong. It is very difficult for a Nanjing person to go to school in Shandong. However, the Liberation Party is different, and it is open to all those who are willing to join the Liberation Party. In the Liberation Party, there are people from all provinces of the country. In the Liberation Party, all regions, genders, and origins are not issues. Party members only have different tasks, not different status......" Wei Kun said eloquently, some of the comrades below were attracted, while some had some disapproving expressions.
Wei Kun didn't care, he had a deep conversation with his father Wei Ze before he came to Africa, and Wei Ze's advice to Wei Kun was, "If you want to solve problems in this era, you really can't rely on feudalism." We must rely on the people and build a strong political party in order to face the fierce storms of this era. ”
Of course, Wei Kun knew that the first of his father Wei Ze's three positions was the chairman of the Liberation Party, the second was the chairman of the Military Commission of the Liberation Army, and the third was the president of the country. As for the title of the emperor, it is only the gold edge that decorates these three positions.
So Wei Kun's roadmap for himself is very simple, he can learn from his father Wei Ze and become the real controller of the three positions in East Africa. Moreover, after spending so many months in East Africa, Wei Kun has already discovered that the construction of political parties and armies in East Africa can only be described as a mess.
Regardless of the attitude of the Chinese comrades, Wei Kun continued his speech. People who pretend to be asleep can't wake them up, and Wei Kun has no intention of waking them up. Now he's looking at guys who are awake and just don't know how to solve real problems. Wei Kun was very impressed by a passage from his father Wei Ze, "Political parties exist to solve problems, and they are united and powerful." The reason why political parties far outnumber feudal gangs is because industrialization-based political parties know that if they want to solve the problem fundamentally, they must start with politics. ”
The current level of these people in front of them probably does not realize the significance of politics, but it can be seen that they have encountered a lot of problems. So Wei Kun was not in a hurry, he asked later: "Everyone thinks that there are any problems that can't be solved now, so they all bring them up." We brainstorm and solve problems together. ”
As a result, the mayor of Port Sudan, who had been responding coldly when Wei Kun spoke, was the first to speak, "Secretary Wei, it is said that our next month's salary will be postponed. This month's salary has already been delayed due to the relocation of the administrative district, and if it continues to be delayed next month, we will not be able to do many things. Can you help us solve this problem first? ”
"Oh?" Wei Kun immediately frowned. Although he didn't speak, he knew very well in his heart that before this move, Wei Kun was sure that the financial department had included the on-time payment of wages as an important matter. Because he didn't continue to chase this matter, Wei Kun didn't know what the outcome of this matter was. So he asked, "Tell me more about the situation." ”
"The finance department said that salaries could not be paid for two months." The district chief repeated.
Wei Kun didn't mean to give up, he said, "In this way, you can show me your salary system and the data on how much salary each person receives." ”
These words made everyone feel good, and everyone wanted to know what the amount of other people's wages was, and the district chief instinctively showed a hesitant and resistant expression. Revealing wages is a big deal, and the mayor certainly doesn't want that to happen. However, opposition is opposition, Wei Kun, as the county guard of the three counties of Sudan and the secretary of the party committee of the three counties of Sudan, has every right to check his salary. Now the district chief felt that he was Meng Lang, and he felt that he should choose to deal with this matter in a more calm way. It's just because he didn't pay his salary, and because he cared about it, he was in chaos, so he accidentally got up.
Wei Kun did not continue to pursue this matter, he said: "I know about this matter, everyone will discuss this matter after I have read the data." Let's talk about other problems first. ”
In a place like East Africa, there are naturally many problems, and Wei Kun is certainly not prepared to pick it up on his shoulders, he knows very well that no one has the ability to do this. Therefore, Wei Kun just summarized the problems first, which are specific administrative problems, which are political problems, and which are ideological problems. Such a division alone is very energy-consuming, and it raises more questions among comrades. What is the criterion by which Wei Kun divides these issues?
Although he was very tired, Wei Kun felt quite happy. He has always felt that when he was in Asia, the party meeting was actually a different kind of executive council, because the government and the party were based on solving problems, so even if they did not specifically talk about the political line, it would not delay the party's operation. Because His Majesty the Emperor Weser always comes up with ideas.
In Africa, on the other hand, because of the low level of social development, many things that are not at all problems in Asia have become central political issues here. This is something Wei Kun has never encountered, and it is something he never expected.
Wei Kun was not prepared to solve all the problems in one day, he arranged these problems, first of all, the party organization should be operated, including clarifying the party's political philosophy internally, publicizing the party's concept externally, and at the same time opening a party school, inspecting party members, and absorbing party members.
After talking about what should be explained first, Wei Kun and the district mayor went to the district finance department, and a large amount of data was placed in front of Wei Kun, and Wei Kun picked it up and began to read it.
As night fell, Port Sudan was lit up. Under the light, Wei Kun flipped through the pages of information. At this time, his face was so gloomy that he could almost wring out water, and on one side was a large amount of information, and on the other side were Wei Kun's notes. That's a lot of data on it. There is really no right to speak without investigation, Wei Kun found that these people in East Africa are far more daring than he imagined, really very bold.
No one was willing to come to East Africa back then, so when the East African Administrative Region was created, of course, the officials had a lot of gray income. Wei Kun didn't expect that these people had changed in more than ten years, not so much that these people were officials who managed the East African administrative region, but that these people were moths lying on the East African administrative region and sucking blood.
"Goo...... ...... "Wei Kun's stomach protested with a sound, and Wei Kun also felt that he should eat something. I didn't expect to feel slightly dizzy after standing up, and it seemed that I was hungry.
The most common rice in Port Sudan is the black pepper steak set, which is naturally the best beef, and the black pepper shipped from the provinces of the South China Sea is naturally the best in terms of flavor. Underneath the steak is snow-white rice, a soft-boiled egg, and a peeled half-cooked tomato to provide a more complete range of nutrients. In addition to being delicious and nutritious, this dish also has the benefit of using less water, which has always been a big problem in Port Sudan. Built on rocky hills, Port Sudan is surrounded by a desert with a growing population and a growing shortage of distilled water. Everyone has been trying to figure out how to solve this problem.
Of course, trying to solve problems will always pay off. For example, the beverage that is now rationed in a package is beer, and if water is not sold at a price, beer has a significantly higher profit margin. Wei Kun ate and drank, and after a while, he felt that the feeling of weakness in his body had disappeared, and the whole person even felt very comfortable in the slight drunkenness brought by beer.
At this time, there are no people around, and the port is basically closed to loading and unloading goods at night. Just when Wei Kun was comfortably burping and was about to have another set meal, Wei Wenrui walked in, she walked up to Wei Kun and said with a smile: "It's okay if you're busy with official business, don't call me for a supper now." ”
"How dare I disturb you, the God of Wealth." Wei Kun also smiled.
"Oh? I finally know that I am the God of Wealth. Then why don't you hurry up and offer incense? Wei Wenrui responded to Wei Kun's ridicule happily.
"No, is it okay to have a copy of this package?" Wei Kun said jokingly.
"I want one." Wei Wenrui immediately agreed. Looking at Wei Kun's surprised expression, Wei Wenrui explained, "The craftsmanship of the chefs here is probably not as good as the top restaurants in Europe, but the good thing here is that the real material is real, and the black pepper seems to have to be eaten in a hotter place to feel better." ”
Wei Kun nodded, "Since you're here, I want to ask you something." said that Secretary Wang Mingshan and a foreign woman had a child, which bank in Europe was it? ”
