During the period before the New Year, Shi Lei had basically never been out. He had been following the Yu Linglong sisters to personally arrange this temporary home in Guangzhou. That is, when he went to the governor's mansion to cancel the holidays and greet the governor's brother, he was considered to have gone out.

Since Shi Lei plans to operate Guangzhou into a stable retreat for his own country, a large part of the industries will develop here, and it is necessary to establish good relations with Guangzhou. As a well-deserved master, this governor, not only does he take the military and political control, but Shi Lei's immediate boss, so he naturally has to fight with him even more.

The easiest way to please him is to give him a hope to return to Chang'an, the political center, and better display his political ambitions.

Since he was sent here, although he has not been completely depressed, he has obviously lacked motivation. His backers have given him up, so he has no expectations for the future.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lei, who had accidentally made a good relationship, came here again. Unlike him, this person obviously just regarded this place as a springboard, and just used Guangzhou as a transit station to find an entry level.

This made him see another possibility, so he has always been kind to Shi Lei. Although Shi Lei did not fully accept him, his personal relationship was indeed good, and he also recognized his political philosophy and had already revealed some of his own.

After Shi Lei came back this time, he simply expressed his intention to pull him on the boat. This matter was also asked about the opinions of Yao Jin and Qin Qiong and his uncles. After all, it was also a heavyweight position. The governor of a state is not an easy position.

Especially Guangzhou is still a Shangzhou, and it is also the capital of Lingnan. What is more important is Shi Lei’s next overseas development plan. Such an important figure must be won over.

While Shi Lei gave him a reassurance in a straightforward manner, he was also thinking with him about what better way to go back with a more glorious identity, so that he could wipe out the sadness he had when he walked out of Chang'an before.

This requires him to achieve something, and it is best to have a few particularly eye-catching things so that his return will be undisputed.

When I first came here, the governor had thought of making such efforts, but his position was indeed relatively narrow and his access to limited power. The most important aspect of ocean trade has been controlled by the inherent nobles, and it is not easy to have greater development.

Without the joint support of all kinds of forces, even if he is the governor, this matter cannot be done. The simplest thing to want to develop the economy, you can't find projects, let alone invest in it.

It is also difficult to make a living from the perspective of population and people's livelihood. With the environment of Guangzhou, it is not easy to find a personal soul. Most of the places where people can live are villages where local indigenous people have lived for generations. Most of these places can be self-sufficient. At most, they can buy some salt. It is not easy for you to collect taxes from them, and it is even more difficult to develop the economy.

Besides, their goods are basically controlled by those noble agents. He has his own share. If he wants to do it, he will touch too many benefits. Maybe he will have to go to a certain place where birds do not shit, and he really doesn't have the courage.

So such a plan ended up being stranded, and then he became a state of depression like his subordinates.

It was Shi Lei's arrival that gave him some new hope. After Shi Lei expressed his attitude this time, he was even more confident. The idea of ​​trying to do something big once again came to his heart. However, this time, behind him was standing a military mountain represented by Shi Lei, and he was no longer alone.

There are many reasons why Shi Lei and his friends chose Guangzhou. The most important thing is that they are involved in the huge profits of the Japanese mining plan. There is no trading city that is completely controlled by them, which obviously makes people feel relieved.

There are already too many old-fashioned forces in traditional maritime trade power states like Yizhou and Yangzhou. Those famous and prominent families have invested a lot in these places. Even Cheng Yaojin and others are relatively latecomers in these places. In the territory where the strength of the old-fashioned nobles is deeply rooted, it is unrealistic to get the sweetest cake.

When you arrive in Guangzhou, it will naturally be much better. The power struggle here is much smaller. They are all unsuccessful people, and it is relatively easier to control them. Unlike those states, officials from top to bottom have different backgrounds and even those who play infernal Affairs.

It is obvious that you need to worry more about developing huge ocean trade in such a place, and don’t worry about being mixed up by those lingering families when harvesting the fruits of victory.

After the formation is settled, the upper and lower parts of the business are all solid. If those people want to intervene, they will just pick some scraps and just use them as a way to help them.

The benefits of this matter in turn to the governor are also obvious. Guangzhou's status has been further improved, so those who are in charge of their parents will naturally not become unlucky people who are not loved by their grandmother and stepmother raise them. If you pass such results, this bonus will be very great.

However, this is just one aspect of trade. In terms of people's livelihood, they must also make some achievements in order to really make people have nothing to say.

Shi Lei gave him a lot of ideas in this regard, and also allowed him to see a broader prospect, such as building Guangzhou into a core city and a complex integrating humanities and entertainment, rather than a simple trade city like a little leg walking. As soon as the merchants left, they became desolate like a small town in the countryside, making people feel sad when they saw it.

After reviving his ambition, the governor who bid farewell with almost a lot of gratitude, Shi Lei came out of the governor's mansion and went to Tulou for a simple walk, and Shi Lei went home again.

During the period when Shi Lei was away, the construction of this earthen building had never stopped. The salary given by the Shi family was very fair, and the food was good, so these people naturally worked very hard.

With the reasonable dispatch of the contractors under his command, the efficiency has also been greatly improved. With their unremitting efforts, the main body of the earthen building finally took all of them before Shi Lei came back.

After the spring starts, let the earthen building be dried properly and then simply decorate it. There is no need to make any exquisite landscape here, and it is mainly practical. So before the sultry summer comes, Shi Lei and the others can live in this earthen building with their own air-conditioning system.

The year I spent in my official residence is probably the last time I spent here. Shi Lei thought about it this way, and he was still a little reluctant to leave.
