I want to be emperor

Wang Tu himself was an ambitious person, and the experience of working in the Secretariat of Jinling City Imperial Academy not only increased his knowledge, but also increased his ambition.

He has seen high-level affairs in the top political arena, and he has been thinking about returning to Jinling City, the political center of the empire, all the time.

And this kind of return to Jinling City does not mean simply returning to Jinling City to take up a post. If he just returned to Jinling City to take up an ordinary position, he would have been able to go back two years earlier with his connections.

But he doesn't want to!
What he expected to return to Jinling was to serve as a high-ranking official of the empire and to hold a position of great importance.

Instead of going back as a middle-level official, he became an inconspicuous one among the countless middle- and low-level officials in Jinling City.

That was Jinling City, where officials of the third rank were inconspicuous, and the capital of the fourth and fifth ranks was everywhere.

At the very least, Wang Tu also hoped to return to Jinling City as a division chief with a third-rank status.

It is best to be able to directly mix in the position of chief envoy or even governor at the local level, and then be transferred back to the capital as a feudal official.

It was precisely with such ambition that Wang Tu willingly stayed in Heyuan, a remote mountainous area in northern Guangdong, for many years.

And if there is no accident, he will continue to stay for a few years, and will not leave until he has made outstanding achievements as the prefect of Heyuan.

Wang Tu's current goal is very simple, that is to develop Heyuan, a mountainous area in northern Guangdong, as a major achievement in his political career, and use this as a means to enter the high-level vision.

After all, Wang Tu is a traditional civil servant, and he is also a civil servant who serves as the chief local official. For him, there is no political achievement that can make a poor village develop more dazzlingly.

In fact, this is not Wang Tu's unique idea. In fact, many young officials with bright futures in the empire, and even with related backgrounds, will choose to serve as county magistrates and other grassroots positions in poor areas for a period of time.

On the one hand, they take the initiative to work in poor villages, which is easy to leave a good impression on the big bosses above.

On the other hand, although development is difficult in poor areas, the base is also low. As long as the operation is done properly, it is easy to achieve political achievements.

After all, many young officials who take the initiative to work in remote areas have strong backgrounds and rich resources. With their own connections, they can bring financial support or foreign investment to the local area. For the upper middle class of the economy, that's nothing.

For example, in the poor place of Shanghai County, even if you can pull a large enterprise to invest in a large factory with hundreds of thousands of dollars... In terms of the total economic volume of the local area, it will not even make a bubble.

Even many people will not think that it is your credit, but Shanghai County's own advantages have attracted enterprises to invest.

However, if it is a poor place like Heyuan Prefecture, if you can attract a large-scale project with an investment of hundreds of thousands, it will drive the rapid development of the local economy in minutes.

If the follow-up operation is good, a small-scale economic industrial chain can be created, providing a large number of jobs, and then comprehensively promoting the local economic development.

Then the growth rate of the local economic data will be very eye-catching, and it is possible to increase by dozens of percentage points or even double it.

what is this?
This is political achievement!

And the superiors are also happy to see this kind of situation happen, just like when Wang Tu was sent to Huizhou Prefecture for gilding training, the magistrate of Huizhou Prefecture saw that he was here for gilding, and without a word, he directly arranged for him to be the poorest and most miserable Heyuan Prefecture.

After a few months of transition, the then magistrate of Heyuan prefecture communicated with him and arranged for him to be the magistrate of Heping County, the poorest and most miserable county in Heyuan prefecture.

Back then, Heping County belonged to Heyuan Prefecture, and Heyuan Prefecture was still the prefecture of Huizhou Prefecture.

This is not to embarrass Wang Tu, but to hope that Wang Tu can use his own network resources and background to bring foreign investment to Heping County or get financial support from the province and even Jinling City, and then improve the local people's livelihood and economy.

Make the best use of everything, the local officials already have a complete set of unspoken rules on how to use the gilded supervisors photographed from above.

You can come to gilt, go to the poorest and most miserable place, and then use your own connections to develop the place. After a few years, your political achievements will rise all the way, and the place will also develop economically. The best of both worlds...

Of course, if your background relationship is not strong enough... to support funds or projects, then you will spend your life moldy in the backcountry.

Because this is not called gilding, but distribution!

The same position naturally has different meanings for different people.

Wang Tu also came here in the same way back then. He used his personal connections as the magistrate of Heping County to forcibly attract several projects, and then developed the planting and processing of tea and tea oil.Soybean cultivation and bean curd processing industries and several other industries.

In order to promote camellia oil, he found people to tout the health and nutritional value of camellia oil, and at the same time took the high-level route... He specially took the locally produced high mountain camellia oil as a souvenir and gave it to many of his friends and officials in the surrounding area Colleagues, many officials in the provincial capital.

At the same time, I still can't forget the former colleagues and superiors of the Secretariat of the Imperial Academy. Every autumn and winter, they can receive tea oil specialties from Wang Tu.

Even recently, Wang Tu was planning to take the route of the secretariat and send the tea oil of peace to Yuqian, not for anything else, just to mix up the label of a tribute.

Of course he didn't dare to expect that the local oil could become the common cooking oil of the court...but as long as His Majesty took a bite, he would dare to say that the local camellia oil is a thing used by the imperial court, and then make a big publicity and package the local camellia oil as the top cooking oil.

Because of this series of packaging and publicity, the tea oil in Heping has a certain reputation in the local government and business groups in the surrounding areas. I know that there is such a good local product in the mountainous area of ​​northern Guangdong: it is nutritious and healthy.

Some people would buy some specially as gifts, but ordinary people eat less, after all, these things are quite expensive.

If a family of five eats every day, it costs seven or eight yuan a month just for cooking oil... These days, the wages of ordinary workers are only a few yuan, and even low-level officials are not so extravagant.

Many ordinary people or low-level officials buy them as gifts... Just like the canned meat in the early years, the canned meat in the early years appeared on the market, and they were mostly used as gifts at the beginning. When visiting relatives during the holidays, they will receive and deliver canned meat.

As for eating by yourself?
Ordinary people are reluctant to eat it several times a year!
Even low-level officials can't do without walking around. You can't walk around empty-handed. You just send money or something. If you don't move around daily, it won't be effective.

If you give too much, you will not be willing to send hundreds or thousands, and even if you dare to give it to others, you can't accept it openly!
But some local products are much better. You can bring some local products, say that you are a special product from your hometown or the place where you work, and bring them to adults for you to try.

It also pretends to ask you to help promote the publicity, help local farmers increase sales and increase income!

The sending is aboveboard, and the receiving is also a peace of mind!
In fact, this is still within the normal range. In some places, high-value bribes are even offered in the name of local products. For example, in Liaodong Province, it is very popular to give vintage wild ginseng to superior officials!
Delivery in a box!
Officials collected wild ginseng, and then sold it to those wild ginseng recycling merchants, who then sold it to low-level officials or merchants who wanted to give gifts... It turned out to be a perfect cycle.

Some high-priced wild ginseng with a relatively high age has been circulated back and forth for many years, passed through the hands of countless officials...but it is intact, no one eats it!
Compared with the wild ginseng economy in Liaodong, Wang Tu's camellia oil marketing is far behind.

After all, no matter how expensive camellia oil is, it is only a condiment for daily use. It is just that the price is a little expensive, and ordinary people cannot eat it every day. It is not considered a luxury accessory.

Even if it is given as a gift, it is usually in the circle of ordinary people and low-level officials, or if you give a bucket of tea oil to the real dignitaries...that is not nonsense!

After those low-level officials received this thing, they would not say that they would resell it and sell it. They usually ate it at home.

And after such a toss of packaging, after packaging the local camellia oil as a good gift, Wang Tu has initially established the local camellia oil planting and processing industry. Every year, a lot of camellia oil is processed and packaged. , transported to many nearby places for sale, and even entered the market in Guangzhou.

In addition, soybean planting, yuba processing, and other small processing factories, workshops and the like.

Relying on his personal connections, Wang Tu was stunned to make quite a noise in Heping County, a remote village where he had nothing to ask for.

Even though the local industrial and commercial scale is actually small, it is not worth mentioning in an economically developed place, but it still doubles the industrial and commercial economy of Heping County year after year, and increases a large number of jobs in the secondary and tertiary industries. It has also increased the income of many local farmers by a large margin.

With this, he was able to rise continuously, and after a few months of transition in the governor's office in the provincial capital, he returned to Heyuan Prefecture as the prefect again.

In the past two years, he has continued to work on the development of the economy and the people's livelihood as the magistrate of Heyuan.

With the improvement of one's own political status, more people will befriend him, and even spend some resources on it, which will be smoother.

For example, Zhong Siyuan, director of the Commerce and Trade Department of the Western Trading Company, was more optimistic about him and helped him attract many companies to settle in Heyuan.

Among them is Donglin Trading Company.

Song Alin has been seeking a way to join the Western Trading Company, and wants to let his products enter the Indian and even West Asian markets.

For this reason, through many relationships, I found Zhong Siyuan's side. After Zhong Siyuan sent someone to inspect, he felt that several products of this Donglin trading company were not bad, especially their canned Donglin brand special flavor meat, which was very suitable to get India to buy.

With such a premise, and knowing that Donglin Trading Company is planning to acquire a tea planting base, Zhong Siyuan also hinted to Song Alin that Heyuan Prefecture has beautiful mountains and rivers, which is very suitable for the development of tea processing.

This is why Song Alin went to Heyuan Prefecture to investigate again.

Still the same sentence...there are so many places in the world suitable for tea planting and tea processing, why did Song Alin come to Heyuan Prefecture where your Wang Tu is located, and make a final decision?

Zhong Siyuan's influence and Wang Tu's own political influence are indispensable reasons.

Otherwise, when it comes to geographical and climate conditions, transportation conditions, and even local policy preferences, tax incentives, etc., there are a lot of places in the world to give.In particular, in order to attract investment, many prefectures and counties in the inland area offer very high preferential conditions.

But in the end Song Alin chose Heyuan Prefecture at that time, and now Heyuan Mansion.

Because Zhong Siyuan and Wang Tu are both important members of the secretarial department in the southern coastal area.

Among them, Zhong Siyuan is the head of the Commerce and Trade Department of the Western Trading Company, and his grade has reached the fourth grade, which is directly related to whether the products of the Donglin Trading Company can enter the purchasing list of the Western Trading Company.

As a rising star in the secretary department, Wang Tu was also the governor of the fifth rank at that time, and had a bright future.

Song Alin finally chose to invest in Heyuan Prefecture, to a certain extent, to make friends with these two people, so as to have a real thigh to hug in the officialdom.

For many reasons, Donglin Trading Company finally made a large-scale investment in Heyuan Prefecture. The initial investment amount reached 20 Chu Yuan, which was used for the development of tea plantations and the establishment of tea processing factories.

Now the 20 investment has been implemented, and the second phase of 30 investment is currently being prepared.

In the end, the entire investment scale will exceed 50 Chu Yuan.

This is 50 Chu Yuan, which is not a small amount. Even in a large state capital with a developed economy, such an investment scale can be regarded as a large investment.

If it weren't for Wang Tu's relationship, this kind of large-scale investment would never have fallen on the Heyuan Mansion.

And this is the main role for officials with a deep background like Wang Tu to go to the economically backward places for gilding.

Want policies, find support, and attract investment!

Otherwise, with so many people staring at the throne of the prefect of Heyuan at that time, and now the prefect of Heyuan, where is it your turn to be Wang Tu, just because of your face?

With the tea planting base and tea processing factory of Donglin Trading Company settled down and put into operation, Wang Tu made persistent efforts and contacted many tea merchants.

It is planned to make the tea planting and processing industry bigger and stronger, forming a large-scale industrial chain.

For this reason, in the first month after Heyuan Prefecture was upgraded to Heyuan Prefecture, he held a tea industry investment promotion conference and invited many tea industry enterprises to come to inspect and negotiate.

Among them are not only ordinary tea trading businessmen, but also related enterprises engaged in large-scale professional tea plantation and processing, and even machinery manufacturers that provide various types of tea processing equipment.

Wang Tu tried his best to find some companies related to tea.

In November of the 28th year of Chengshun, Wang Tu successfully held the tea investment conference. At the conference, Wang Tu led a group of officials to try their best to persuade these businessmen who came to the conference to invest.

A number of professional visits have been arranged for this purpose.

With the investment precedent of Donglin Trading Company, especially those enterprises engaged in large-scale tea planting and processing, many people were also tempted after seeing the tea planting base and processing factory of Donglin Trading Company.

Since someone has already made the way ahead, it proves that the local geographical environment and climate are indeed suitable for growing high-quality tea. At the same time, Dongjiang transportation and railway transportation can be used to contact the outside world and transport materials.

The most important thing is the sincerity of the local officials headed by Wang Tu.

Not only is the attitude very sincere, but the various preferential conditions are also very good. For example, if the mountainous land for tea plantation is official land and there is no unused wasteland, you only need to pay a symbolic rent. Mountainous land, then the government can also come forward to help coordinate the transfer and lease.

The roads in and out of the mountains, not to mention those with streams and rivers, even if there are no streams and rivers to pass ships, the government can directly build a simple road for you.

I dare not say anything else, but it will definitely not affect the export of tea.

And if you invest in various factories, the conditions are more favorable. The industrial land will be used for free for ten years, and there will be no rent for ten years.

If you want to buy industrial land, as long as your investment amount is large enough and the deadline is in place, you can buy industrial land for any money!
The reason why they don't give it away for free is to avoid being accused of colluding with officials and businessmen and infringing on official interests.

In short, as long as you come to invest, you don't have to worry about land and transportation.

As for workers and the like, the government also has a special agency that can coordinate and help companies organize recruitment in counties and towns to ensure that there will be no problems in employment.

The high-tech personnel and management personnel of various enterprises who come to Heyuan to work do not have to worry about their board and lodging issues.

Although our Heyuan Mansion is a bit poor, we are hospitable and hospitable. Before the dormitory building in your company is completed, we can live in the official inn of our government... Of course, you have to pay as much as you want... After all, the government-run inn is also a commercial operation, so it is impossible Live for you at a loss.

Not to mention eating, although it is a mountainous area, there is no shortage of rice and vegetables for you, and there are many mountainous areas, and there are many kinds of mountain delicacies, and they are all cheap.

In the future, there will be more workers in major factories, and it doesn’t matter if the demand for food is large. Our local area has enough food production, and there is a Lighthouse Basin in the north. Large-scale development and land reclamation have already been carried out.

It is one of the few small basins in Guangdong Province that is suitable for large-scale grain cultivation. It has abundant water resources, good climate and flat terrain.

Even the largest grain production base in northern Guangdong has this basin. Heyuan is currently a grain production base. Every year, a lot of grain is transported to Guangzhou by railway or Dongjiang to supply Guangzhou.

Relying on the local grain production, Wang Tu is still supporting the development of some grain processing industries. For example, the local specialty hand-paved noodles is very good, which is very suitable for large-scale industrial production and sales.

After all, with such a good grain production base, it would be too wasteful not to engage in grain processing.

In this tea investment conference, an investor did not take a fancy to the local tea industry, but aimed at the local grain processing industry, planning to set up a grain processing factory, mainly to produce high-quality rice and hand-paste flour.

Wang Tu naturally welcomed this, and also offered a lot of preferential conditions.

As long as you come to invest, and it's not a mess of illegal investment, then Wang Tu welcomes you!

Of course, more businessmen are still interested in the local tea industry, and they come here for the tea.

Moreover, Donglin Trading Company has already made samples, which gave many investors more confidence.

Therefore, during the follow-up inspections and discussions, Wang Tu successively finalized the investment willingness of many investors. Although the investment scale was not as large as that of Donglin Trading Company, many of them were more than one hundred thousand, or even two to three million Chu Yuan.

A small investment of tens of thousands is even more.

After the Merchants Conference was successfully concluded, Wang Tu and the others did their calculations, and in the end they all laughed from ear to ear.

At this investment promotion conference, they have attracted investment in 23 projects with a total amount of 180 million Chu Yuan, most of which revolve around tea planting and processing.

In addition, there are other planting and processing of economic crops, as well as grain processing and other industries.

Most of the sources of investment are foreign investors, but there are also a small number of local gentry businessmen who took advantage of this opportunity to start investing.

The investment amount of 180 million Chu yuan is a huge progress. Once it is fully implemented and developed, it can drive the rapid development of the local people's livelihood economy.

Not only will the industrial and commercial output value increase, but it will also provide a large number of jobs in the secondary and tertiary industries, allowing local people to obtain more income.

Not to mention that many of Wang Tu's industries are planting and processing industries with cash crops as the core, which will have a significant positive impact on a large number of farming families.

For example, many tea processing factories do not engage in tea planting themselves, but choose to sign supply and marketing agreements with local tea farmers to purchase tea from local tea farmers. The increase in tea processing factories has brought more demand for tea. This allows more people to grow tea, grow more industries, and gain valuable income.

Even Donglin Trading Company, which owns a large-scale professional tea plantation, needs to hire a lot of people to plant it. It is fine on a daily basis. Once the tea picking season comes, it will need a lot of people in a short time.

How did this manpower come about?Naturally, it is necessary to invite people from nearby areas.

In this way, some local farmers can get more extra income in their spare time.

Numerous investments have brought about an increase in economic output, brought about an increase in the income of the local people, and will naturally lead to an increase in fiscal revenue.

With more financial revenue, Wang Tu can do more things, such as the dredging of the Dongjiang waterway can no longer be delayed, especially the dredging of the shallow water beaches so that larger tonnage ships can pass.

Then the corresponding wharf should also be built. The existing small wharf has insufficient berths, and a larger wharf will be built.

In addition, the official roads connecting the counties and towns must continue to be built, even if it is just a simple dirt and gravel carriage road, it must be repaired.

Of course, it is indispensable to improve the water conservancy facilities everywhere, especially the water conservancy facilities of several major grain industries.

Water conservancy facilities can be used not only for irrigation, but also for flood control, which is indispensable for food production.

Just when Wang Tu was thinking about how to make a big splash and do a big job.

Guangzhou City also ushered in a new Cong Sanpin participating in politics and the director of the Office of Civil Affairs. This participation in politics was not a promotion within the Office of Officials, or even a transfer from within the province, but was airborne directly from Jinling City.

Moreover, this person's employment experience before the airborne aroused the suspicion and even fear of countless people: the third director of the Supervision Department of the Civil Affairs Office.

This person is engaged in administrative work, or a full-time anti-corruption.
