The best liquor shop in Sunset Valley Town, Dasanyuan Restaurant.

The hotel is brightly lit and full of friends.

In the quiet private seat upstairs, the wine and food come up like a flowing stream, all of which are authentic Cantonese cuisine practices, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which look fragrant and delicious and tempting to appetite.

Li Siyuan, the new director of the Koi Mining Bureau, sat on the top with a red face, and Duan Qirui and several logistics officers from the Longmen Garrison Area sat in the host and guest positions, accompanied by Lu Qiang and his entourage, who had arrived in Longmen Town not long ago, and everyone talked happily.

The curtain of the development of the Jinshui River Basin has not yet been opened, and all interested participants are in full swing to prepare, trying to get a piece of the pie in the new round of development.

Today's Queensland is different from the past, the rapid economic development for many years has driven a large number of businessmen to get rich, and a new upstart group has emerged, with abundant private funds, Lu Qiang and Zhao Qishan are one of the new upstart groups.

From Queensland to Shangri-La to Borneo, under the enlightened policy of the Red Fort, the excellent business talent of the Chinese has been fully stimulated, and various trading companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the official statistics have reached thousands a year.

Today, Li Siyuan invited Duan Qirui to the East Banquet, firstly, to introduce Lu Qiang to be familiar with everyone, and secondly, to be familiar with the officers of the garrison area, and there are many places that need to be cooperated in the future work, in a society full of human feelings in China, the official relationship is not talked about for the time being, and personal friendship undoubtedly occupies a very important position.

"Come on, please drink this glass of wine, in the future we will be a brother in a pot and a spoon, our mining bureau and your military are two systems, tacit cooperation between each other is extremely important, Brother Qirui is a well-known military star, outstanding talent, please help in the future!" Li Siyuan raised his glass and looked very kind.

"Qirui is not talented, where do you dare to work Shangguan to toast, this cup I salute Brother Siyuan."

Duan Qirui raised his glass with both hands and showed great humility, and said sincerely; "Thank you Brother Siyuan, maintaining the stability and prosperity of the Longmen area is the unshirkable responsibility of our soldiers, Brother Siyuan is in charge of the affairs of the Mining Bureau, but there are orders, the foolish brother obeys all the orders, please ......"

After finishing speaking, he raised his glass with both hands and drank it first.

Li Siyuan laughed and drank the wine in the glass, looked at Duan Qirui carefully, and the evaluation in his heart couldn't help but be higher.

Sure enough, Duan Qirui, who is worthy of being called "Little Zhuge ", even when he is drunk, his speech is still impenetrable, well-organized, and maintains an excellent sense of proportion.

Under the Red Fort

The Longmen garrison area is a special existence, and its jurisdiction covers the entire Koi Mining Bureau, all of which are listed as military strict management areas, and the mining towns, Koi copper and gold mines, and the Crescent Lake Hydropower Station are listed as military restricted areas, and the degree of vigilance belongs to the highest level.

It is bounded by the town of Sunset Valley

Further into the high-altitude mountains requires special permits, and all tractor drivers are screened and vetted, traveling in groups, and are not allowed to move alone in military restricted areas.

It was only after arriving at the ancient town of Sunset Mountain that the management relaxed a little and could have some fun on your own. Outsiders such as Lu Qiang will not be able to enter the mountain, and they will be stopped at the checkpoint for detailed interrogation, and no one can leave.

The three major departments of the Safety Department, the Political Intelligence Department and the Audit and Audit Department all have dispatched agencies here, which are responsible for the safety supervision of the operation of the entire mining area.

Therefore, on the one hand, the Longmen Garrison Area needs to cooperate with the control of the Mining Bureau, and on the other hand, it has a great deal of independence and belongs directly to the General Staff of the Army.

A new broom sweeps clean

After Li Siyuan took office, he was ready to make a big effort to develop the economy, and the current system is a great constraint. He is ready to adopt the practice of changing the soup without changing the medicine, and after the establishment of Longmen City, he still implements two sets of management methods;

The military restricted area in the mountainous area is still the same, and the focus is on the peripheral areas with Longmen Town, Dachang Town and Sunset Valley Town as the core, and this development plan needs to be approved by the Red Fort before it can be implemented, and it is temporarily in the planning stage.

"Sir Duan, I feel very close to you as soon as I see you, our Queensland is really a good place for talents, and young heroes are stubbling out." Lu Qiang's face turned red from drinking, and he, a local gentry who won the "Good Citizen Award" issued by the State Autonomous Office, was still very dignified, and continued with drunkenness; "In the future, Lu Moushao will not often come and go to your place, and there will be many disturbances, I hope to be able to get closer to Chief Duan, I salute you three cups, and talk about my heart."

"Mr. Lu is polite, but I'm not strong enough to drink, is a glass good?"

"Where can a glass of wine represent my heart, it must be three full drinks, Chief Duan, you can drink it, I'll do it."

After Lu Qiang finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank three cups in a row, showing extremely boldness.

This guy has a trait, that is, he climbs up the pole with vigor, and he can climb up without a pole to create a pole, and he is not annoying.

Raising an injury can get acquainted with a close minister like Tang Shaoyi, and the relationship is quite close, I have to say that it is a natural ability, Zhao Qishan and these people can't learn, they have to be unique.

Duan Qirui had a good subjective feeling about this ranch that was a few years older, and when he saw this scene, he only hesitated slightly, so he smiled and said; "Hahaha...... Duan is just a martial artist, where can he be called a young man, just a lot of money, since Mr. Lu is so gracious, Duan is not good for Mr. to be beautiful, I drank these three glasses of wine, which is considered to be your friend. ”

Soldiers never grind and chirp when they drink, Duan Qirui poured three glasses of wine into the bowl, raised his head and drank them all, and the bottom of the bowl was really trickle-down.

"Good amount of wine, good man."

"Each other, hahaha......"

A table of wine was eaten high in the moon, and everyone dispersed happily.

After Li Siyuan arrived, he naturally inevitably interacted with the military, and the two sides were already familiar with each other.

At night, I stayed in the backyard of the restaurant, and it was a short walk away.

Under the bright moonlight

The drunkenness on Li Siyuan's face was gone, Shi Shiran walked in front, his eyes in the night became brighter and clearer, as if he asked unintentionally; "What do you think of these people today?"

"Be cautious in your words and deeds, only Duan Qirui is the first to look forward, and sure enough, there is a fixed number of people and birds." Lu Qiang is not as bold as at the banquet table, his tone reveals shrewdness, and sure enough, there are no simple characters who come out to mix.

"The Longmen garrison area is a soldier trained by Commander Li Lianzhu, Duan Qirui is his follower, Li Lianzhu is also the most dazzling new star in the military world, the earl is very optimistic about this person, this time he went to Africa to fight is obviously to give credit, such an outstanding officer stands out, it is indeed not without reason."

"Brother Siyuan, I think the Earl's territory is already big enough, and it will take more than ten days to walk around by boat, why do you have to go to Africa to grab territory?"

"Shh......h Silence. ”

Li Siyuan looked left and right cautiously, there were only the two of them under the shadow of the tree, and his expression slowed down slightly and then said in an accentuated tone; "The Earl used to say; Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.

The vision should be long-term planning, the talents of adults, the wisdom and martial arts are far-reaching, how can small people like you and me be measurable?

Speculation is meant to be taboo, and this kind of thing is just something you and my brother say in private, and you must not openly announce it, so as not to attract the attention of people with intentions. ”

"Oh, it's the foolish brother who took the liberty of saying it, and the figure said it for a while, and there will be no next time."

"Just be careful with what you say and do."

"That'...... Brother Siyuan, please refer to the next investment plan. ”

"I know this, you want to move some Huguang relatives here, I have asked Commander-in-Chief Ouyang on this matter, in principle, there is no big problem, since the beginning of this year, the expansion of the immigration policy has affected the two lakes, Henan, Shanxi and other inland provinces, there are branches opened by Guangjitang, this is the Earl's personal decision, but the specific county government, need to pay an extra part of the expenses, mainly used for the capitation fee of the special institution."

"Of course, the matter of a few thousand taels of silver is borne by the younger brother."

"This is very good, and in addition, the establishment of the machinery and equipment of the cigarette factory needs to be started immediately."

"I've already done this, and there must be news coming in the near future......"

The two discussed things as they walked, and walked forward calmly, and their figures quickly disappeared into the thick night.

Today, Shangri-La has developed more than a dozen cigarette factories of all sizes relying on local high-quality tobacco leaves, which are still in the ascendant.

Cigarettes are different from the old-fashioned dry tobacco pipes and hookahs of the Chinese, and are known for their convenience and excellent taste.

Soldiers and cowboys, in particular, can enjoy the strong and mellow smell of cigarettes anytime and anywhere as long as they have a box of matches by their side, smoke one when they are lonely, smoke one when they are bored, smoke one when they are in a good mood, and smoke one when they are at a gathering with friends......

Cigarettes are a versatile product for almost every occasion, and they are suitable for the occasion.

As a result, there are many cigarette brands on the market, such as "Double Happiness", "Big Iron Tower", "Qingshui River", "Great Auspiciousness", "Mayincense", etc., which have gradually become the characteristic fist products produced in Borneo, which not only meet the needs of Australia, but also become popular in the South Seas.

Lu Qiang wants to invest in the cigarette factory, in fact, the equipment of the cigarette factory is very simple, in addition to the tobacco leaf drying needs machinery and equipment, the rest is completely handmade, the workers have a set of handmade tools, loading, rolling, sticking, cutting each process is all manual.

The difference between the tobacco factories lies in the different processes of tobacco leaf roasting, so there is a huge difference in taste, which is the core secret of the cigarette factory.

The Qingshui River Basin has many tobacco plantations, and the Jinshui River Basin, which is about to be greatly developed, is also suitable for the development of tobacco production.

At worst, it will not lose too badly.

Queensland does not have a monopoly on salt, spices, tobacco and liquor, but all of these products are heavily taxed, and whether they can be profitable or not is determined by the market.

Needless to say, no cigarette factory owner dared to defy the law, and the price was too heavy.

Not counting the bankrupt family who has been fined, they will also be subject to severe criminal charges, which can basically be said to say goodbye to a happy life.
