612 Mary's path to politics
After releasing the wild wolf and wild boar, Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and after 30 wild boars ran into the forest, he simply rode into this 30,000-acre super ranch.
With staring in the air, Chu Xiangqian was not worried about being discovered at all.
Go deep into the ranch of banker Noel Rupp and release 15 hares from the novice village.
When they arrived at the area where the sheep were raised in the pasture, they put the 12 foxes and 3 lynx that had been refreshed outside the novice village into the surrounding woods.
While foxes and lynx eat hares, the more wild animals appear, the less likely the cowboys at Rupp Ranch are to suspect that someone is deliberately causing the damage.
Moreover, foxes and lynx are also carnivores, and after appearing in large numbers, the first thing that Rupp Ranch hunts must be the wolves, foxes and lynx that enter their pastures.
In this way, it is possible to breed in the stable pastures such as hares and wild boars and in the surrounding mountains.
After doing this, I entered the novice village and swiped all the other monsters and supplies, as well as the orcs in the orc map.
Just brushing and brushing, Chu Xiangqian suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen a lot of weed seeds in the mountains and forests outside the novice village.
Plants such as flax leaves, artemisia annua, and dew grass can either be flatulent and poisoned by cattle if they eat them, or they will rob the pasture of light and nutrients.
And these things seem to be found in the hilly area to the west of the novice village.
After riding a horse and looking around, after seeing the plants he wanted, he went down with a collection technique, and sure enough, he collected a lot of seeds.
Now it's fun, riding horses all over the hilly areas of the novice village, and collecting a total of more than a dozen catties of weeds and pest seeds.
Only then did I continue to farm monsters to earn experience, and by the way, I collected all the materials such as fruit trees and minerals.
After 12 o'clock in the evening, the novice village was refreshed again, and wolves, foxes, lynxes, hares, and wild boars were all released, and then the wolves were collected from seeds, and finally the monsters began to farm.
After five days in this way around the Rup Ranch, 60 wolves and 60 wolves, 75 hares, and 15 lynxes were released.
As for wild boars, there are 150 of them.
There is no need for Chu Xiangqian to deliberately let the to check, just in the mountains outside the Rupu Ranch, Chu Xiangqian stood in the hidden temporary camp halfway up the mountainside, and he could see that there were already cowboys in the pasture, riding horses, chasing and shooting the wild wolves that entered the pasture.
But the cowboys patronize the wild wolves and foxes that shoot and kill the powerful attack, but they do not notice the wild boars and hares, which have hid and slowly multiplied.
The big trouble with ranches is that there are many areas that are not suitable for grazing, and even the cowboys on the ranch don't pay attention to them, or even visit them once a year.
Cowboys have long been accustomed to getting along with wild animals, and they generally don't care if they see foxes and wild boars, as long as they don't threaten the herd.
Only when you encounter a pack of wolves that you can kill, the cowboys will not let go.
In terms of threat, wolves are by no means as damaging to pastures as wild boars.
After some wild wolves and wild boars are killed, the rest of the natural ones will hide in pastures, and there is basically no human activity.
Even leave the confines of the ranch and hide deep in the mountains.
By the time the ranch finds that wild boars and hares are starting to overflow, the form may already be very bad.
Needless to say, the reproduction rate of rabbits can increase dozens of times in a few years once they are left alone.
Wild boars only need 5 months to have one litter, and there is no problem with two litters in three years.
And there are basically more than three or five of them in a litter. It may only take one year for this ranch to find that there are hundreds of wild boars and countless hares in its pasture, constantly destroying the pasture of the pasture.
Stealing corn, wheat and other crops grown in the pasture.
It may take years to eradicate the plague of wild boars and hares.
Or, you can't kill them all.
Moreover, during the nights of the past 5 days, Chu Xiangqian would also ride a horse into the Rupu Ranch and sprinkle the weed seeds collected from the novice village in the pasture.
More than a dozen catties of weed seeds every day, to say the least, there are thousands, and in five days, all the areas in the Rupu Ranch with lush grass have basically been patronized by Chu Qianqian.
Think about it a month or two later, weeds will appear in large numbers in these places, and if they are not cured in time, the pasture will be abandoned.
And although Chu Xiangqian only stayed for 5 days, he had to return to his ranch to accompany Margaret.
He had to leave the magnesium country again, and returned to Hong Kong Island to hand over the 400,000 tons of grain bill of lading to Qian Guotai.
But he only needed to go back to the ranch once in a month or two, and then rode again to the outside of the Rupp pasture, a hundred and sixty kilometers away, and stayed for three or five days.
In the past six months, the Rupu Ranch has not only broken out of wolf plagues, wild boars, and hares.
Even the large and small pastures around Bakers County have seen large herds of wild boars descending the mountain.
This is not the most troublesome, after Chu Xiangqian had planted a large number of weed seeds in the Rupu Ranch before, they began to take root and sprout.
Large areas of pasture are no longer suitable for grazing.
And some weeds are eaten by cattle and sheep into their stomachs, and the cattle will start to flatulcate, and the belly will be bulging.
It won't take three or five days, or even just a day, to die in pieces.
The banker, Mr. Noel Rupp, not to mention his 30,000-acre ranch, is now in a state of flux.
Senator Robert Alessandro also deliberately came to visit Chu Xiangqian when he returned to the ranch again, but the meaning of his words was obviously to ask if Chu Xiangqian's troubles at Rupp Ranch were Chu Xiangqian's doing.
Chu Xiangqian naturally neither admitted nor denied it, and dragged Robert to hunt in the pasture.
Seeing that Chu Qianqian's marksmanship is ridiculously good, whether it is fighting wild boars and foxes hundreds of meters away, or fighting quails that suddenly fly up in the grass more than ten or twenty meters away, they are all shot one at a time.
Robert probably also understood what Chu Xiangqian meant.
If you don't mess with me, I won't worry about other people's inheritance.
But if you really provoke me, you won't hesitate to retaliate.
In addition, when the dozens of cult members who were killed by Chu Xiangqian last year, the information was still provided by Robert, that is to say, Robert knew that Chu Xiangqian had a very powerful combat team in his hands.
Of course, Robert was hoping that Chu Qianqian would kill the people of that sect.
First, his daughter and son almost died at the hands of a few madmen, and secondly, he was afraid that other madmen of this sect would look for them in the future.
And one of the reasons why Robert came to Chu Xiangqian this time was that he was afraid that the two sides would continue to quarrel, and when he got up one day, he heard that the banker Noel Rupp's family had been killed.
Sometimes money does not mean power, and power does not mean force.
A wealthy man like Noel Rupp, who is deeply involved in California, does have a lot of connections in the political arena, but if Chu is forced forward and directly killed, once Noel Rupp dies, basically no politician will really avenge him.
Robert saw that Chu Xiangqian's counterattack was not strong this time, so he was relieved, but he affirmed and recognized Chu Xiangqian more and more.
The magnesium countrymen, especially the people in the western magnesium country, have always paid attention to personal heroism in retaliation, and if they are bullied, if they don't fight back, they will definitely be bullied even more.
Even the scum that was eaten by the other party is gone.
"Chu, are you interested in attending the year-end donkey party's fundraiser in Los Angeles?"
Chu Xiangqian nodded without thinking about it, it was nothing more than the Donkey Party collecting protection money.
And California has always been the stronghold of the Donkey Party, and it would be a fool not to vote for the Donkey Party.
But there are some scruples about letting him personally come to such a public gathering.
A Chinese super-rich man, in the eyes of many whiteskins, is a fat sheep.
So Chu Xiangqian shook his head after thinking about it, "It's okay to donate, but I'll have Maria Tucker represent the ranch and me at the fundraising party." ”
Robert was stunned, he had come to the ranch a lot of times, and naturally knew who Maria was.
even knew that the relationship between her and Chu Xiangqian was definitely not simple, so Robert subconsciously asked, "Are you going to push Maria into politics?" ”
This time it was Chu Qian's turn to move forward for a few seconds, and then suddenly felt that this idea was not impossible.
With her influence in the town, it can be said that Maria started to enter the political arena from the small town of Solvan, which can be said to be easy.
It's hard to say how far she will go in the future, but if Maria becomes the mayor of the town, it won't be difficult.
The small town authority in the country is very simple, first the elected mayor and development manager, that is, the assistant to the mayor, and then three or five members come together to form a committee to discuss the town's affairs on a regular basis.
And these people basically don't get paid, which is equivalent to voluntary work, but in fact, there are a lot of hidden benefits.
The committee then hires departments such as administration, public affairs, community development, community services, talent and risk management, fire protection, and police departments.
However, in some small towns, the police chief is also directly elected by the people, that is, some sheriffs are not even bird to the town mayor.
If you want to push Maria to the throne, you only need to get the current mayor and other members of the town in terms of interests.
Then help Margaery come up with a small town development plan, and let the townspeople see that she can really get money, and this is basically no problem.
It is easier to deal with the current mayor and other committee members, who used to earn $30,000 or $50,000 a year, but now they can earn $100,000 with Chu Xiangqian.
Even $200,000, a fool knows how to choose.
And if Robert, a state senator, is willing to be Maria's guide and foreign aid, Maria's path in politics will be much easier in the future.
This is also one of the reasons why the vast majority of politicians in magnesium countries have relevant interest groups behind them.
To put it bluntly, without considering personal ability, even in the election of the commander, whoever raises more money will have a greater advantage.
The politicians below are naturally also who has the most money and who is in power.
Chu Qianqian looked at Robert with blazing eyes, "Man, if I really push Maria into politics, what do I need to pay?" ”
Robert frowned at first, but he thought that the horse racing rider that Chu Xiangqian was looking for was also a woman, and he was still a Texas country woman, so he secretly said that Chu Xiangqian pushed Maria into politics, which seemed to be in the past.
Moreover, when women enter politics, they are naturally weaker to a certain extent.
Not to mention the age difference between Mary and herself, which is nearly 30 years old. And he is already a state senator himself.
As long as you don't make mistakes, you can say that it is okay to continue to sit in the position of senator until death.
If you can't threaten yourself, why refuse?
Thinking about this, Robert smiled and said, "Have enough money, even if you push Maria to become a state legislator in three or five years." ”
Chu Xiangqian didn't doubt Robert's words.
As a senator with only two states, it can be said that Robert's political status and influence in California are by no means small.
There are two types of parliamentarians, the Senate and the Public, as well as the National Assembly and the State Legislature.
To put it bluntly, the state representatives are just the beginning of the entire magnesium state power structure.
As long as there is enough exposure, plus a reliable staff team and no small political backers, or allies, it is indeed possible to make Maria a member of the California House of Representatives in three or five years.
Chu Xiangqian didn't have the intention of hunting anymore, so he pulled Robert and chatted for more than two hours.
When Robert left, he had a check for $500 donated to the Donkey Party in his pocket, and a small flannel bag with a dozen soybean-sized diamonds.
In those years, the incorruptibility restrictions on politicians in the magnesium country were not strict, and diamonds were easier to hide than cash and gold.
It's also easier to shoot.
Find a trusted buyer and sell it, but the money is deposited in a bank in Switzerland or an offshore island, and no one has been able to find it for at least two or three decades.
No one will look into this either.
And this small bag of diamonds, worth at least $50,000, got Robert's promise that when Maria actually entered politics, he would not only be her leader in the political arena, but also publicly support her if necessary.
And when Robert returns to Los Angeles, he will find connections and let the prosecutor secretly investigate the current mayor of the town of Solvan Town.
There is only one purpose, to force him to resign.
To a certain extent, this is several times lower than Chu Xiangqian's cost of using money to win over the mayor of the town.
In other words, if you find the right person, sometimes it doesn't cost much to get things done.
After sending Robert away, Chu Xiangqian returned to the ranch and saw Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng, Fei Fei, and Ehime pointing to the people working in the manor, preparing food and utensils for tonight's party.
And Ehime is here, so naturally Sophia, who has a good relationship with her, is indispensable.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care whether Sophia had finished today's work or not, and let her play with Ehime.
I said hello to my three daughters-in-law, but I don't need to help myself.
He rode to the ranch office and found Maria, who was working, and talked about what he had talked to Robert about before.
Maria's reaction was as Chu Xiangqian expected, although she hesitated at first, worried that if she entered politics, no one would be able to take care of the affairs of the ranch.
But Chu Qianqian said, if you are in politics, you can better protect the pasture and better protect your property in the magnesium country, which immediately made Maria start to move.
And as soon as he heard Chu Xiangqian say that he was willing to spend $200,000 to push himself to become the mayor of the town.
Spending $2 million to push herself to become a state representative within a few years, Maria was moved in her heart.
At such an instant, the ambition in this woman's heart also burst out.
Got up and walked in front of Chu Xiangqian, sat on his lap, put his hands around his neck and said with a smile, "My dear, when I take the governor's position, we will play a game in my office." ”
Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Maria, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed quite exciting.
Then there is no accident, the future is not known yet, but now, there must be a game first.
