In the quiet night, the telephone rang suddenly, the owner of the room often lost sleep due to anxiety these days, and tonight I drank some wine and felt a little sleepy, and finally was able to sleep well.

But it was this phone call that woke him up immediately, and he sat up from the bed with some irritation, and looked viciously at the landline of the telephone that disturbed his rest, as if his eyes could isomorphize the telephone line, and see the other person who was harassing him.

Calming down a little of the irritability in his heart, he took a deep breath to suppress the anger surging in his heart, and picked up the phone, "This is ......"

He stopped before he could finish his sentence, and he could hear the sound of a gunshot, except for the noisy human voices in the earpiece.

"Mr. Harry, our minecart has been ambushed...... The situation is critical, what should we do?", the person who spoke, Harry, knew one of the heads of the mine, mainly responsible for maintaining order on the surface of the mine.

Most mines do not have more than one person in charge, and depending on the function, the larger the mine site, the more people will be in charge.

He almost jumped out of bed in shock, and walked back and forth in the room a few steps, and in the dimly lit room, his eyes were shining with a cold light.

He knew very well that the person who could intercept their minecart at this time was nothing more than two possibilities.

The first possibility is that many of the mine guards in the mining area are former local gold diggers and mine guards, and the composition of these people is quite complex, and some of them may have some relationship with the robbers and robbers in the wilderness.

In the first half of the year, many bandit and robber groups were uprooted, including some mine employees and even the backbone of the mine protection team.

Only in this way can these robbers accurately grasp the news of the shipment of goods from various mining areas, and then intercept them.

Doolin has been effective in sweeping away illegal armed forces in Ambiluo, but this does not mean that all the robbers and robbers have really been swept away.

The wilderness terrain of the entire Ambiluo region is complex and vast, and it is really not a human search that can be found by a small group of people to drill somewhere, but it is reasonable to find some fish that have slipped through the net.

This time they did not take the transport from the Yagur mountain camp on this side of the Ambiluo state, but took the other way, probably thinking that the opportunity had come, and decided to plunder their convoy.

However, there is a second possibility, and that is Doolin's people.

Dührin is on the radar of the entire state of Ambiluo, and many of the policies he enacted since he came to power have made the state and economic development of the state of Ambiluo extremely significant compared to the past.

In particular, after the implementation of free education, it has won the support of the vast majority of people in the state.

The farmers and cowboys in the west were not like those in the cities of the south, they were stupid and ignorant, but they were also warm and loyal, and it was very likely that someone would find out something and tell Durin secretly.

Moreover, the kind of battle that I heard on the phone is definitely not something that ordinary small armed forces can do.

He quickly weighed it in his heart, gritted his teeth, and instructed, "Withdraw all the people on the ground to the mine, and then let the mine protection team in the mine area support the convoy, try to hold back the incoming enemy, and I will let the others rush over as soon as possible!"

After speaking, without waiting for the person in charge to answer, he hung up the phone, and then quickly mentioned it and dialed the duty phone of the tower shield security company.

Now Tadun Security Company has been wholly acquired by Ambilu Mining Company and has become a subsidiary, and it no longer receives various task orders from the society, and specializes in serving the mining area.

The gold diggers and mine guards in the company are also very satisfied, the salary is 20% higher than before, the food has become better, and they only need to work two days a week, and everyone has no complaints, and they all think that the new owner is a good person.

At this time, a phone call penetrated the entire staff dormitory of the tower shield security company, and the lights of the 150 four-person dormitories in the dormitory area, which had been expanded, were all lit up, and the harsh assembly number in the buzzer made the company's base brightly lit.

The base of the tower shield security company is not in the city, after all, these employees also have to undergo daily militarized training, and if necessary, there are weapons training subjects, if there is gunfire in the city center all day long, it will definitely not work.

Therefore, this base needs to be on the outskirts of the city, and the original board of directors of the company bought a piece of land in the camp area, perhaps to commemorate the glorious years of the camp outside the Yagur Mountain, or maybe the land here is cheap enough, in short, the base is attached to the Yagur Mountain and settled.

From here to the mine, if you drive all of them, it will take you four or five hours at most, and maybe it will be faster if they have other trails that others don't know about.

For a while, the base was allocating tasks and guns and ammunition, and then mountain bikes entered Mount Yagur directly from the side of the base, and some people rode horses, most of these people were gold diggers, they were more familiar with the terrain and routes in Yagur Mountain, and for them it was more advantageous to ride horses than to drive.

The effects of the fierce gunfight that broke out in the mountains soon spread out of the mountains, and Durin was chatting with the state agriculture minister about work.

In the past, agriculture and animal husbandry were the backbone of the local economy, but the existence of the Western Mining Association caused the government to extract little tax from the development of mineral resources, and agriculture and animal husbandry became the most important economic growth point.

With the uprooting of the western mines, there were some riots in the mining sector in the west, and many mine owners were arrested for buying and selling slaves, abusing and killing slaves, and some mining areas have now been seized, which has given agriculture and animal husbandry the upper hand again.

However, this situation lasted less than a year, and when Doolin became the governor of Ambiluo and vigorously developed the tourism industry, the agricultural and livestock industry once again shrank even more than before.

If it weren't for the support of Doolin's farming and animal husbandry company, I'm afraid that the agriculture and animal husbandry industry in Ambiluo would be finished.

People are happy to be loyal to idle and more well-paid jobs, and the fields are overgrown with weeds, and if it weren't for the need for meat, they might not even want to keep their cattle and sheep farming.

If the situation in the state continues to spread according to the current situation, and soon the development of agriculture and animal husbandry is limited to a scale "sufficient for their own use", then agriculture and animal husbandry can really be said to be finished, and the Ministry of Agriculture will be finished.

finally got into the position of the state minister of agriculture, and then inexplicably had no power at all, such a day is not what this minister of agriculture wants.

"And what do you mean?", Durin poured him a little wine, which helped him calm his mood and also made him relaxed.

Alcoholic beverages have always played a very important role in the social culture of the Empire, whether they succeed or fail, whether they are downcast or glamorous, from shady deals to agreements signed on a terrifying scale.

Prohibition still exists, and the Bureau of Contraband Investigation has not been revoked, but still exercises its unique powers, and every year many businessmen who sell moonshine are arrested and sentenced, and a large number of moonshine is burned and dumped.

But now these things have nothing to do with Doolin, who is known to be a decent businessman, a successful governor, and his business is all legal and licensed.

The moonshine industry is changing dramatically, but that's another story.

The Minister of Agriculture drank a little and felt a lot more comfortable, and his shoulders, which had been flat, slumped a little, which meant that his body had begun to relax.

"Your Excellency Governor, I don't have any opinion on your decision-making, I just think that while vigorously developing tourism, we should take into account our local agriculture and animal husbandry industry, can we do the same as you develop green tourism, and make some new concepts of agriculture and animal husbandry with local characteristics?"

In fact, Du Lin listened carefully to the words of the Minister of Agriculture, and he was also carefully considering, if rapid economic development is the basis for a country's take-off, then agriculture and animal husbandry are the basis for a country's survival.

This is already related to the policy at the national level, and we cannot be cautious enough.

The Imperial Ministry of Agriculture has issued many reports in recent years, pointing out that while the economy is developing rapidly, the empire's agriculture and animal husbandry are shrinking rapidly, from being self-sufficient to now needing to import grain from the Colt Empire, which is enough to show the seriousness of the problem.

However, it is not possible for Durin to solve this problem, which requires the cooperation of all departments and society of the entire empire, as well as the promotion of the process of mechanized farming and animal husbandry production.

He frowned and thought for a while, "I can't interfere elsewhere, but here I can call the shots, your opinion is very important to me, I will hold a meeting in the near future to discuss this matter, and you can announce in advance that from next year, the state of Ambiluo will abolish the collection of agricultural taxes, and give farms and ranches a certain amount of subsidies, and underwrite the sale of high-quality products, and ......"

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Durin's train of thought, he glanced at the phone, turned his head and said with a slight apology, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first." ”

"It's okay, your business is a little more important. The Minister of Agriculture is a person who understands the "market" very well, maybe Duhrin is much younger than him, but he definitely does not dare to underestimate this young governor.

Durin nodded, stood up and walked to the landline to answer the call, and soon his brow furrowed, "I remember you have a sentry platform there, and that thing should be quick if it travels in the forest area...... Don't talk to me about attrition, money is never an issue!"
