After all, Yunnan is too far away from you and it's inconvenient.

But Guizhou is very close to Guangdong."

Hearing this, Shen Hao nodded. It must be said that Duan Zhigui was very politically wise.

Transferring Tang Jiyao away and sending Cai E to Beijing was obviously a step to further weaken local power.

You can say that Yuan Datou was obsessed with power, but he definitely had strong political skills.

Three days later, the train arrived in Hankou.

Shen Hao stayed for a whole day, after all he had to take Qingqing, Yao Yuying, Yao Yulan, and Wang Keqin back to Guangdong.

The next day, after lunch, Shen Hao left with the girls in a car.

As soon as Duan Zhigui returned to the Governor's Mansion, the family's chief steward came running over and whispered, "Governor, when Bai Lang attacked Laohekou in Hubei two days ago, the Dahan Newspaper published an article.

And they opened a special column called "Central Plains Wolf Disaster Theory" to report this incident.

Duan Zhigui said unhappily: "Stop wasting time and get to the point."

“Yes, Governor.

The Dahan Daily reported the news openly.

It is obvious that he is secretly communicating with Bai Lang, and the newspaper is suspected of colluding with bandits.

Didn’t they offend the governor last time in the newspaper? We can fight back by banning the Dahan Newspaper and arresting the responsible person on the charge of “leaking military secrets, inciting rebellion, disturbing public order, and confusing people’s hearts”.

Hearing this, Duan Zhigui's eyes lit up, he stroked his bald head and said with a smile: "You are the smart one, you bastard. Let's do this. Those who dare to spread rumors that I am a pimp, lock them all up and see who dares to say anything more."

"Yes, you will see."

In the afternoon, Duan Zhigui sent people to arrest Hu Shi'an, the manager of Dahan Daily, and more than ten editors, directors, distributors, and reporters and put them in jail.

Moreover, they did not send the police, but instead handed the case over to the Army Trial Office for interrogation, intending to put Hu Shi'an and others to death.

The charges were leaking military secrets, inciting rebellion, disturbing public order, and confusing people's hearts."

Everyone knew that Duan Zhigui took the opportunity to vent his personal anger and slandered the Dahan Daily, but they could not refute this excuse.

However, this move also came under pressure from all sectors of Hubei society.

Duan Zhigui had no choice but to give up on killing them and sentenced them to three years in prison.

Xiong Kewu's escape to Sichuan also announced the failure of the entire Second Revolution.

Due to insufficient preparation and other reasons, the "Second Revolution" soon ended in failure.

Sun, Huang Xing, Li Liejun, Bai Wenwei, Hu Ningmin and others had to go into exile abroad.

In this revolution, in just a few months, Shen Hao benefited the most.

From a brigade commander to a division commander, then to a governor, and concurrently the governor of Guizhou, it was a quick rise to fame.

After returning to Guangdong, he placed the munitions factory awarded by the system in his base camp, Qingshi.

The construction took one month and could produce fifty Mauser rifles every day.

At the same time, the power plants and light bulb factories rewarded by the system also began construction.

Garment factories rewarded by the system are also under construction.

At present, Shen Hao has monopolized the sand, gravel and cement business in the entire Guangdong Province.

Even so, maintaining a large army is very difficult.

Shen Hao's troops now have only 40,000 people, which is obviously not enough.

If you want to completely control the two provinces, you must increase the army to 100,000, and have 30,000 troops in reserve.

These military expenditures are a huge expense.

After thinking about it, Shen Hao wrote down a lot of profitable industries on the paper.

Finally, many unrealistic ones were crossed out, leaving only a bunch of profitable industries such as tobacco bureau, power bureau, bank, lottery, horse racing, etc.

211. Take the initiative to throw yourself into someone's arms

Of these industries, horse racing is the fastest to be implemented.

The power bureau must also start this immediately. The initial investment in monopoly is large, but the later income will be very considerable.

You can also play lottery.

After making the plan, Shen Hao immediately began to implement it.

On September 9, two unfamiliar departments were established in Guangzhou.

The Electricity Bureau and the Tobacco Bureau were officially established, causing quite a stir.

Among them, the Tobacco Bureau caused an uproar among countless people.

Because it cut off many people's livelihoods.

From now on, all tobacco in Guangdong and even other provinces must be sold through the Tobacco Bureau, otherwise it will be illegal.

To put it bluntly, it is a monopoly.

The Tobacco Bureau has the final say on which brands of cigarettes you can sell and which brands you cannot sell, and all cigarettes must be sold to the Tobacco Bureau at the lowest price, and then sold to private individuals through the Tobacco Bureau.

Of course, the most important reason is that Shen Hao does not have his own tobacco factory.

This is a big blow to those large dealers.

Moreover, Shen Hao is also planning to create his own cigarette brand called "Qiujiusan".

The cigarette packaging of this era is so tacky and there are no filters. Once Shen Hao makes one himself, it will be a dimensionality reduction blow.

Directly monopolized the high-end market.

This also led to the Tobacco Bureau directly overshadowing the Electricity Bureau.

Many big tobacco dealers started to make trouble, but they could not cause any waves in front of the army. Shen Hao simply ignored them.

When Jin Ruizhi got the news, she immediately went to find Shen Hao.

She wanted to use this relationship to get close to Shen Hao and consult him about the purpose of these policies. Of course, she still wanted to meet Shen Hao in her heart.

"Governor Shen, you are such a busy person, how can you finally have time to meet with a little reporter like me?" Jin Ruizhi said with some resentment;

She wanted to see Shen Hao, but it was too difficult.

After waiting for a whole week, Shen Hao finally found time to see her.

The reason why he was able to agree to meet her was because of Bai Xiuzhu's relationship.

This made Jin Ruizhi feel a little uncomfortable.

Shen Hao said calmly: "You only have ten minutes to interview, do you choose to continue wasting everyone's time?

Or do you choose to start the interview? "

Jin Ruizhi said aggrievedly: "After all, we are acquaintances, right? Do you hate me so much? Do you dislike me so much?"

Shen Hao shrugged and said, "First, we don't have any friendship, and second, you and I have no relationship at all, so I won't waste my time on you.

Third, I am really busy and I don’t have time to waste with you. The value of our time is different, understand? "

This is true. The establishment of the Electricity Bureau and the Tobacco Bureau, the recruitment and training of personnel, and the construction of a large-scale horse racing factory all require Shen Hao's personal signature and supervision.

Shen Hao’s bank is also under preparation, but he currently lacks suitable talent.

Not only that, there is also the water company. These are all part of the plan, and Shen Hao doesn't have time to waste on this.

In addition, Shen Hao has already planned to develop a new city.

I'm so busy with all these things, how can I have time to take care of Jin Ruizhi.

Jin Ruizhi is not Shen Hao's woman, so Shen Hao is not in the mood to play with her.

Jin Ruizhi was unconvinced and asked, "Then why can Bai Xiuzhu stick to you all day long?"

Shen Hao said: "First, she is my woman. Second, she is now my personal secretary. Of course, she is qualified. It can be said that she has no problem seeing me at any time."

Bai Xiuzhu, who was about to come in with some tea, felt so happy when she heard these words that her eyes and eyebrows were curved with a smile.

She pouted proudly, restrained her smile, and then pushed the door open and went in.

"Come on, Sister Ruizhi, hurry up and get some coffee. I just made it."

Jin Ruizhi said: "Thank you, my wife of the governor."

Bai Xiuzhu said happily: "You're welcome."

The beige cheongsam perfectly set off Bai Xiuzhu's figure, with exquisite curves and exposed arms as white as lotus roots, leaving Shen Hao speechless.

Bai Xiuzhu is indeed a daughter of a rich family, and she has extremely high demands on her image.

She pays great attention to dressing.

In the morning, Shen Hao wore a dress, at noon she wore a cheongsam, and at night she wore a long Western-style skirt, always keeping herself in a decent and attractive posture.

The purpose is to let Shen Hao see a different side of me every day.

It’s true, although it felt a bit wasteful, it gave Shen Hao a great sense of freshness.

The key is that Bai Xiuzhu persisted for several months.

Jin Ruizhi looked at Bai Xiuzhu standing behind Shen Hao, with no intention of leaving, and pleaded: "Xiuzhu, your master only gave me ten minutes, please don't waste my time."

Bai Xiuzhu rolled her eyes at Jin Ruizhi, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'll get rid of you after I'm done with you. Humph, you guys chat then and I'll be out."

As she spoke, Bai Xiuzhu walked to Shen Hao's side, kissed him happily, and then quietly closed the door.

Looking at Bai Xiuzhu showing off their affection, Jin Ruizhi was speechless and felt inexplicably envious and jealous.

"Xiuzhu is really favored. With so many concubines of yours, is she the only one who can enter your study at any time?"

Shen Hao shrugged and said, "They are all fine. I don't have any big requirements for this.

You are my woman, you can come in to me anytime.

It's just that they each have their own hobbies.

One more thing, let me remind you, three minutes have passed. If you keep wasting time, there will be no more time. Don’t blame me for kicking you out when the time comes.”

Jin Ruizhi said: "Governor Shen, let's start. What was your original intention in establishing the Tobacco Bureau?"

"It is my duty to regulate the cigarette market, resolutely crack down on those counterfeit, inferior and unsafe products on the market, and let citizens smoke good, cheap and safe cigarettes."

“What about the Power Bureau?”

"Serving the people, I want every household to have access to electric lights, so that it is no longer exclusive to the rich. Everyone has the right to use electricity, and light up every home with heart," Shen Hao said;

Serving the people and lighting up every family with heart, that’s a very good saying!

Jin Ruizhi admired Shen Hao deeply, her beautiful eyes twinkling with stars, and she looked at him worshipfully...

For a moment, I was a little dazed.

Shen Hao really did what he said. He faced the criticism from thousands of people and remained silent, willing to be a servant of others.

Since Shen Hao became the governor of Guangdong, the public security in Guangdong has been completely rectified.

All gangsters and thugs were arrested, and many of the brutal ones were shot.

All the bullying gentry in Guangdong were arrested.

There are people patrolling the streets every day now, and anyone who is seen bullying others will be arrested immediately.

The public security is very good and many people are willing to come to Guangdong to do business.

Moreover, Shen Hao does not disturb the people and does not collect taxes indiscriminately. It can be said that his reputation is very good. He follows all the rules and does not violate any rules or laws, so he can walk away with his life intact.

Shen Hao's reputation in Guangdong has long surpassed that of the revolutionary party's Tongmenghui. In their hearts, Shen Hao is the best official.

The city is well governed, clean, tidy and everything is moving in a positive direction.

Nowadays, if every household can afford electric lights, it would be a great joyful event, and Shen Hao's reputation would surely spread throughout the country.

For some reason, Jin Ruizhi felt a little envious of Bai Xiuzhu, who could pursue anyone she wanted.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't dare to take the initiative if I liked someone.
