Chapter 469: Discuss the Great Plan
During this period before the Chinese New Year, Shi Lei basically never went out, and has been following the Yu Linglong sisters to personally arrange this temporary home in Guangzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is to go to the Assassin's Mansion to sell the holiday, and by the way, when I pay a New Year's greeting to the Assassin Brother, I can be regarded as going out.
Since Shi Lei plans to turn Guangzhou into a stable retreat for his own family, and a large part of the industry will develop here, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Guangzhou. And this old brother who assassinated Shi as a well-deserved one, not to mention the military and politics, is still Shi Lei's top boss, so naturally he has to fight with him hotly.
And the easiest way to curry favor with him must be to give him a hope of returning to the political center of Chang'an and better displaying his political ambitions.
Since he was assigned here, although he has not been completely depressed, he has obviously lacked motivation. His backers have given up on him, so he doesn't have much hope for the future.
Unexpectedly, Shi Lei, who had inadvertently formed a good fate before, came here again, and unlike him, this person obviously just used this place as a springboard, and completely used Guangzhou as a transit station to find a step into the body.
This made him see another possibility, so he has always been kind to Shi Lei. Although Shi Lei did not fully accept him, this private relationship is indeed good, and he also recognizes his political philosophy, and has faintly revealed some eyebrows.
After Shi Lei came back this time, he simply expressed his intention to pull him on the boat, and this matter was also asked about the process of biting gold, and Qin Qiong's opinions of several of their uncles, after all, it is also a heavyweight position, and the history of a state assassin is not an easy position to get.
In particular, Guangzhou is still a Shangzhou, and it is also the seat of Lingnan's governance, and more importantly, the bridgehead of Shi Lei's next overseas development plan.
Shi Lei gave him a reassurance very straightforwardly, and at the same time, he was also thinking with him about what better way to go back with a more glorious identity, so as to sweep away the gloom when he walked out of Chang'an before.
This requires him to make some achievements, and it is better to have a few particularly bright spots to make his return uncontroversial.
When he first came here, Brother Thorn Shi didn't think of making such an effort, but this position in other places is indeed relatively cramped, and the power he can access is relatively limited, and the most important aspect of ocean trade has been controlled by the inherent noble group, and it is not easy to have greater development.
Without the joint support of various forces, even if he is an assassin, this thing cannot be done. If you want to develop the economy, you can't find a project, let alone someone to invest in.
If you want to make a fuss about the population and people's livelihood, it is also difficult, in the environment of Guangzhou, out of the city of Guangzhou, it is not easy to find a personal soul, and the places where people can survive are mostly villages where the local aborigines have lived for generations, most of these places can be self-sufficient, at most come out to buy some salt, it is not easy for you to collect their taxes, and it is even more difficult to develop the economy.
Besides, their goods are basically in the hands of those noble agents, and he himself has a share, and if he wants to do it, he will touch too many interests, and if he doesn't know it, he will have to go to a place where birds don't to guard the island, and he really doesn't have the guts.
So in the end, such plans had to be put on hold, and then he became in the same state of twilight as his men.
It was the arrival of Shi Lei that gave him some new hope. After Shi Lei expressed his attitude this time, he was more confident, and the idea of wanting to do a big job came to his mind again, but this time behind him, standing on the top of the military represented by Shi Lei, he was no longer alone.
Shi Lei and they chose Guangzhou for many reasons, the most important of which is that the Japanese mining plan involves huge interests, and there is no trading city that is completely controlled in their own hands, which is obviously not very reassuring.
Yizhou Yangzhou, a traditional maritime trade powerhouse, has too many old forces in the game, and those famous families with surnames have invested their strength in these places. Even if it is Cheng Biting Jin and them, relatively speaking, they are all latecomers in these places, and in the territory where the strength of the old nobles is deep-rooted, it is unrealistic to want to get the sweetest cake.
When I arrived in Guangzhou, it was naturally much better, and the power tilting here was much less, and they were all unwilling people, and it was relatively easy to control, unlike those states, from top to bottom officials, the background was not simple, and there were people who played Infernal Affairs.
The development of such a place involves a huge ocean trade, obviously it is much more reassuring, and there is no need to worry about being beaten by those ghostly families when the fruits of victory are reaped.
After the position is settled, the upper and lower levels are operated as an iron plate, and those people want to interfere again, so they just pick up some leftovers, and they should share the profits.
And the benefits of this matter to Brother Shi are also obvious, Guangzhou's status has been further improved, and those of them who are parents and officials here will naturally not become unlucky people raised by grandma and grandpa. If you hand over such a result, this bonus point is very remarkable.
However, this is only one aspect of trade, and in terms of people's livelihood, they must also make some achievements in order to really make people have nothing to say.
In this regard, Shi Lei gave him a lot of ideas, and also let him see a broader prospect, such as building Guangzhou into a core city, a complex integrating humanities and entertainment, rather than the current simple trade city that walks on one leg. As soon as the merchants left, it was like a small country town, which made people feel sad when they saw it.
Under the farewell of the old brother who had revived his ambition, Shi Lei came out of the Assassin's Mansion and went to the tulou for a brief walk, and Shi Lei went home again.
During Shi Lei's absence, the construction of this tulou has not stopped, the wages given by the Shi family are very fair, the key food is good, and these people are naturally very energetic.
With the reasonable scheduling of Shen Xing and his contractors, the efficiency has also been greatly improved. With their unremitting efforts, the main body of this tulou was finally taken before Shi Lei returned.
After the beginning of spring, let the tulou dry well, and then simply make a decoration, there is no need to make any exquisite landscape here, or to be practical. So before the arrival of the sweltering summer, Shi Lei and the others were able to live in this tulou with its own air-conditioning system.
The year I am staying in the mansion now is probably the last time I spent here. Shi Lei thought about it like this, and he was a little reluctant.
