Chapter 223: The garbage king becomes a councilor

"Nicknamed,." The newsboy shouted and ran through the square outside the gate of Shenjing Railway Station. Wei Chijia, who had just gotten off the car, began to have a headache after hearing the news of his headlines, and his own problems were clear, since the empire annexed Tubo and the Karakhanid, the entire Western Regions had all fallen into the empire's sphere of influence. Ten years ago, he and a large number of young people in his family were sent by the family to the newly opened foreign Chinese university in Shenjing for further study, spending a large amount of higher education grants and a large number of corporate sponsorships in the empire, and ten years ago as the first batch of students secretly sent to the empire for training, the first batch of students after graduation devoted themselves to the construction of their hometown, and the cement, machinery, seeds, and technical books purchased from the empire loans helped them quickly get rich and become the new upstarts of the family and the region. After gaining power, it is naturally when the pro-China faction is in full swing, and naturally when the tentacles of the empire extend into the Western Regions, the task of having the help of one's own people and the party leading the way will be very effective with half the effort.

Wei Chijia was impressed by the power of the empire from the beginning of his university entry, and the strength of millions of people in the largest city in the world was enough to conquer every foreign country that he visited, and after learning the imperial commercial law, he was once again impressed by the sophisticated and rigorous institutional system. In Wei Chijia's heart, the empire where both hard power and soft power are like the sun and make everything surrender is not something that any force in the Western Regions can be hostile to, and there should not even be a trace of resistance.

After graduation, Yu Chijia successfully returned to his hometown and made a fortune by mining, processing and selling jade, and in just 2 years, he mined all the large and small pieces of rough stones in the known jade-producing valley streams and alluvial fan land, and announced that the jade mining was exhausted After the prospecting team returned home directly, those mine owners who held the original jade ore in their hands sold the ore to Yu Chijia at a fair price, and then he stored all these and his own ores in the newly built material warehouse in Khotan. A month later, he received a notice that he had been nominated as a local councillor in Khotan.

Li Ji personally wrote to him, suggesting that he collect a large number of antiques and cultural relics in the Western Regions and purchase a large number of jade jewelry from local residents, and Li Ji will personally guide him to establish a comprehensive environmental management network in the Western Regions, integrating garbage disposal, recycling, decomposition, and utilization. After he got the letter written by Li Ji, he was regarded by his family as the master of the family, and the people who manipulated the empire behind the scenes in their hearts were all god-like existences, and God's faith was naturally the power and the identity given to Yu Chijia.

Wei Chijia then pooled all the financial resources of the family and started an ecological restoration business by selling houses and land. A large number of hired manpower were sent to various places to purchase products of various drought-tolerant cash crops produced in the Western Regions, and at relatively high prices, they purchased a large number of special products such as satawang, alfalfa, aloe vera, robust hemp, wolfberry, and licorice produced in the desert and Gobi, and then purchased a large number of cattle and sheep offal, blood, whey, manure and other garbage discarded after making cheese, and saline-alkali blocks, which were special products in desert areas, and other things that could be found everywhere. When everyone thought he was crazy, their family actually spent an unprecedented amount of money to build a chemical plant covering an area of 2 square kilometers. Waste is used to produce fertilizers and purify a variety of high-value chemical raw materials.

Bags can be sent directly to the commercial outlets opened by the public in exchange for compound fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, soil amendment, whey protein powder, baking soda, caustic soda, salt, feed additives, medicinal wine, sesame oil, and high-end skin care products. Outsiders don't know the huge profits in this, and people who have seen the account books such as Wei Chijia and the accountant of the settlement know that this is the reward used by the crossing people to repay the peach. A wagon of raw jade ore for a wagon of money. This deal made Yu Chijia suddenly the richest upstart in the southern part of the entire Tarim Basin.

Wei Chijia, who came to Shenjing for the second time, is no longer the hairy boy who was shocked by the high-rise buildings when he came for the first time, but he was still shocked by the rapid development and changes of Shenjing. The northwest castle tower when he entered Shenjing to study has long disappeared, and has been replaced by a 20-meter-high super-span railway station waiting hall. After he got off the train, he couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the second letter that Li Ji wrote to him, before coming to Shenjing, he knew that he was just the lucky one chosen by Li Ji, but he didn't expect that he would one day be able to enter the core of imperial power. The tremendous pressure almost made him unable to breathe, and after thinking about what Lee Ki told himself in his second letter without closing his eyes for three days and three nights before the election, and in the agony of not being able to discuss the secrets in the letter with his family, he finally made a choice, or chose to obey Lee Ki's arrangement, and went to the election place where he was destined to be elected to carry out activities.

"After you arrive in Shenjing, you can come to my residence to meet first, and then we will discuss the next step in detail." Recalling Li Ji's instructions in the letter, he directly got into the Senate carriage that greeted him and went straight to Li Ji's apartment.

After Wei Chijia arrived at Li Ji's house, he was stunned by Li Ji's young appearance like all the people who met for the first time, and after some greetings, the two sides sat down, "It's not the first time we've met, I've seen you in my student graduation album, although I have only taught you one class, that is, the time when I gave a guest lecture at the University of Foreign Chinese, it was your principal Bai Jia who asked me to go on the day of the school's 5th anniversary, don't you remember?" The topic is the guiding program for resolving religious contradictions in the northwest. I remember you asked a question in the last quarter of an hour of interaction, as if Buddhism could reoccupy the Green Mountains, and I tell you, the answer was yes. You don't remember! ”

"His Royal Highness (the privilege of the one-word king, as the Viscount of Phnom Penh, it is impossible for Chi Jia to be presumptuous in front of Li Ji, the hereditary prince) has a really good memory, and the student still remembered it after mentioning it, at that time, His Royal Highness was dressed in civilian clothes, with a beard and glasses, and he really couldn't be connected with his young appearance now. At that time, we only knew that His Highness was a professor of sociology and philosophy and doctoral supervisor at the Imperial University, how could it be related to His Highness, a member of the Supreme Standing Committee of the Senate. "Wei Chijia is really surprised by Li Ji's appearance, 10 years later, he is almost four, and the professor who looked like he was in his 30s now looks like he is only 23 or 4 years old at most.

"It doesn't matter, you are not a member of the council because you are our student, but because of your determination to spread the Dharma. Reintroducing the Buddhism that you practiced during the Wei Chi family to the west of the Green Ridge is the main reason why we elected you to the Senate. As a representative of the local forces in the Western Regions, when the Qarakhanid annexed Khotan, your family was still a close branch of the royal family, and now although it is not a royal relative, it is also very popular. Buddhism is still the dominant religion in Khotan, and your family has been devout Buddhists for generations, which is why you chose to study the history of Buddhism, right?

Next year or the year after, there will be a fat vacancy to appoint the governor of the newly conquered areas in the Western Regions, but you must be an old official with experience in local governance to serve, you can't be the president, but you can be the speaker of the parliament. With your family's power, with a large amount of imperial investment and project contracts, there should be no problem sitting in this position, right? Li Ji asked kindly.

"Yu Chijia is here to promise that there is absolutely no problem, if there is a mistake, I will be told to fall into hell forever and not be reborn." Wei Chijia stood up excitedly and raised his hand and swore an oath. (Three fingers upright means that there is a god witnessing the oath with three feet above the head)

"Don't get excited, there will be no problem, but you are still good at business, not good at dealing with those wealthy families, study in the Senate of the empire for a while longer, and when you perform in the future. You must first learn to coerce, and before you learn to induce, you must know that you are not representing yourself, but your family and hometown, or the interests of your constituents. The biggest job of a parliamentarian is to fulfill the promises made during the election, and if he can't do it, he is incompetent, and if he exceeds it, he is a good politician. Not only must you learn to keep the resources left by your predecessors and your own faction, but you must also strive to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and compete for more shares in power and budget. We are about to embark on an unprecedented path of political civilization, ending the old era of balance between monarchs and bureaucracy, and beginning an era of balance between various classes and factions.

The legislator who now appears to have an elected background in name only will soon take away the rights of the class behind him from the newly promoted legislators of aristocratic status.

Now is a turbulent era, but also an era of you young people to show their strength, you let go of learning to do it, I am very optimistic about you! ”

In fact, Yu Chijia has the qualifications to enter the center of the empire, that is, he has a commercial network covering 200,000 square kilometers, although the downstream of this network is in the hands of the traversal, but it is after all Wei Chijia who determines the income and future of countless herdsmen and people who rely on Yu Chijia's factory to live, and this new aristocrat has won the votes of the entire Khotan 80 by virtue of his huge influence. The Western Regions Affairs Committee, which Wang Xinyu managed by Wang Xinyu, who directly entered the Imperial Senate, and the Environmental Protection Committee, which Li Ji personally managed, became the first members of the Senate to get a real job in less than a month after entering the Senate.

Some people think that this is a signal that the empire will shift its center of gravity from the southeast coast to the northwest, some people think that this is a move by the empire to balance the power gap between various local factions in accordance with the election law, some people think that this is a rehearsal of the imminent explosion of a new environmental protection industry, and some people think that this is another ** by Li Ji and others to support the new upstarts to participate in the water at the top.

In any case, there are no people who believe that Wei Chijia relied on his own efforts to make a fortune step by step from the grassroots level, and relied on the legal and compliant election process to win the position obtained from the many candidates for parliament in the southern Xinjiang region.

However, it is already a sure fact that the traversal has promoted a large number of juniors and disciples who they fancied. The traversal who opened the golden finger continued this tradition to the disciples and grandchildren, and there were many lucky people like Yu Chijia, who were all helpers who were ready to create miracles in this era. Not only are they about to take up important positions, but they are also ideal candidates to replace the high-ranking officials who are about to retire from the former Song Keju. (To be continued.)
