Most of the games in Infernal Affairs have to start from the bottom, but it depends on the environment and conditions. Since you can buy officials, if you can operate to the point where there is a real shortage, wouldn't it be a shortcut to mastering the locality?

Big counties and big cities don't need to be considered for the time being, a small and remote county, well, if it is convenient by the sea, it will also become a safe foothold, or if it is properly managed, it will become a secret material hoarding point, right?

As soon as this idea appeared in Chen Qiang's mind, he could no longer get rid of it, and the more he thought about it, the more promising he felt. Sex bought several maps, and observed and pondered them in his spare time. Gradually, Hainan Island came into Chen Qiang's sight and began to collect relevant information, and Hainan Island became the focus of his research.

"Brother Zou Rong went to Japan?" The Shanghai Jesus-Sect anti-Russian rally was held in Muer Hall, and Chen Qiang was in the way of meeting and went to cheer, but was asked by Charlie Song about Zou Rong, and then complained as expected, "Why didn't you notify me, but you didn't go to see me off." ”

"I left in a hurry, and I didn't want to be too public, Brother Zou Rong asked me to apologize to Brother Charlie on his behalf." Chen Qianggan laughed twice, perfunctory.

"You're always secretive, and you don't know what you're doing." Charlie Song shook her head helplessly.

"Hehe, meet today, by the way, I'm also going to Japan, don't say I didn't inform you in the future!" Chen Qiang touched his chin and asked casually: "Does this YMCA have any people from Qiongzhou?" ”

Charlie Song looked at Chen Qiang in confusion and asked, "Qiongzhou, what do you want to know about the situation?" ”

"You know?" Chen Qiang smiled disappreciatively.

"I'm from Chang, so of course I know a lot about Qiongzhou." Charlie Song rolled her eyes.

This time it was Chen Qiang's turn to be stunned, Chang, yes, yes, it's a good place, it's one of the places that he is optimistic about.

Changxian is like a pearl, inlaid in the forefront of the northeast corner of Hainan Island. It is backed by Li Mountain, bordering the sea, out of Qinglan Port, is the vast ocean.

Chang has a long history, known as Zibei County in ancient times, and then changed its name. In 627 A.D., it was changed to Chang County, which means "Yanwu Xiu". It is not a large place, it has a small population, and it is an authentic remote area. However, due to its unique geographical location, it is a must-pass place for maritime silk.

For thousands of years, merchant ships often sailed into Chang Harbor before crossing the treacherous waves of the Indo-Indian Ocean and the South Plains, or after passing through the fierce Taiwan Strait, to rest and recuperate, replenish light fruits, vegetables or other food, and the small Chang also prospered for a short time.

However, with the appearance of ships with greatly increased seagoing capabilities, it was no longer necessary to rest here like the sailing era, and Chang gradually fell into depression and coldness.

"The scorching sun, the salty sea breeze, the sweet glutinous porridge and rice, the unique seafood flavor, the fragrant coconut water...... It's still the hometown of Hai Jui! When it comes to his hometown, Charlie Song feels extremely proud and mouthful.

Chen Qiang is not interested in Hai Rui, but is very enthusiastic about Chang's geographical location, people, nationality and other conditions. But Charlie Song said a lot, but it was all a few years ago, and it was outdated and outdated.

Charlie Song, with the shrewdness of a businessman, quickly saw Chen Qiang's intentions, and couldn't help but stop and ask, "Qiang, what do you think?" Do you want to start a business in Qiongzhou? ”

"Well, that's what I thought." Chen Qiang didn't tell the truth, he smiled, and said: "So I want to know something about the Qiongzhou government and the situation in terms of social security." ”

"I haven't been back for five or six years, if you want to know, I'll help you inquire." Charlie Song mentioned his hometown after a long absence, and his expression was a little stunned.

"Thank you, Brother Charlie, then." Chen Qiang arched his hand and said with a smile: "I will board the ship and set sail the day after tomorrow, Brother Charlie has anything to do in Japan?" ”

Charlie Song looked at Chen Qiang for a while, nodded, and said, "Then help me bring a letter, and a sum of money, help me pass it on to a friend." ”

"No problem, it's a gesture. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave. Chen Qiang didn't think much about it, shook hands with Charlie Song, and got in the car and left.

"It's easier to donate, but if you want to get a real shortage, the price will have to be doubled." Zhao Haizhen had already donated a county magistrate, and when he heard Chen Qiang inquire about this, he quickly took out a general market table and gave Chen Qiang a simple explanation, "After all, if you have a real shortage, if your heart is black and ruthless enough, you can make a lot of money in office." ”

Chen Qiang looked at the market table, and couldn't help but secretly disdain, selling officials and lords has reached such a stage, only the end of the dynasty will appear, right? The Manchu Qing Dynasty, a zombie that exudes a rancid smell, is really unreasonable. But this is interesting, the price is clearly marked, and Tong Suo is not bullied.

Although the Beijing officials are of high rank, they do not have real power than the local governors, and the price is relatively low. Among the magistrates, there are 4,820 taels of Taoists, 1,800 taels of prefects, 1474 taels of Tongzhi, 999 taels of counties, and 210 taels of counties.

"What's going on with this fraction, it's all accurate to the single digit?" Chen Qiang couldn't hide his smile and said: "There is also the price of this county, ninety-nine-nine, do you want to promote it?" ”

Zhao Haizhen smiled bitterly: "I think there are many people who are thin from the middle, and the level is different, so there is a whole zero." In fact, this is just a reference, and the price may change depending on the door. ”

"If you want to make up for the shortfall, the price must be different according to the different wealth and poverty in the place." Chen Qiang pondered for a moment and said: "The current situation in China, the town prince must also understand, there are many checkpoints, and the transportation cost is very high. In my vision, it is best to build a factory nearby to reduce costs in order to compete with foreign merchants and foreign goods. The coal coking plant under construction, as well as the salt chemical plant, are just laying the foundation, mastering the technology, and training skilled workers. When it is time to expand the operation, it is necessary to select the site and build the factory according to the plan. ”

Zhao Haizhen nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, the security in various parts of the country is really worrying. Traffic blockage, long-distance transportation, the risk is very high. And there are many checkpoints on the way, and there is no time for the expulsion. It is indeed a good way to build a factory nearby, with low risk and low cost. In the case of coal, it seems that Shanxi is better; As for salt, a place with a salt pan along the coast should be a good choice. ”

"Having a salt farm is one of them, and the state of the local government is also very important." Chen Qiang led Zhao Haizhen to his own thoughts, and began to reveal more thoughts, "This donation official is really lacking, it seems to be a solution." Of course, it may not be easy to operate. ”

"There must be people in the court, or local officials, so that they can not only get real vacancies, but also be able to choose the place where they want." Zhao Haizhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not easy, it's really not easy." ”

"It's up to man!" Of course, Chen Qiang knows that there are many difficulties, but it is not impossible to succeed in many ways, "Please pay more attention to the town prince, this matter is not urgent, I just imagined it first." ”

"I do my best." Zhao Haizhen looked at Chen Qiang, thought and said: "You are also famous, make more friends with some high-ranking officials of the Western-style faction in the government, maybe you will have greater gains." ”

Chen Qiang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's still too early, my reputation is not enough at all." Well, wait a little longer! ”
