Chapter 1302 Danzhou Preaching

Liu Shang tossed and turned that night and barely slept. When he woke up the next day, he couldn't help but have two big dark circles under his eyes. Yu Xiaobao was shocked when he saw it and quickly asked him if he felt uncomfortable in any way.

, and also asked the old doctor in charge of medical affairs in the inspection team to take his pulse and make a diagnosis. Liu Shang couldn't laugh or cry, and it was impossible to tell the truth. He could only deduce that he had been traveling all the way these past few days, and his body probably couldn't bear it.

Yu Xiaobao was silent for a moment and then said: "Otherwise, Mr. Liu will stay here to recuperate for a few days, and don't force yourself to follow the rest of the trip. After he recovers, he can take a boat back to Sanya on his own."

Liu Shang didn't expect that he would be self-defeating by just making up an excuse. He quickly waved his hands and declined and said: "You can't do it, you can't do it. Business is important. Although the villain's body is a little thin, he will not fall down so easily. Director Yu, don't worry, the villain will hold on."

Stay here!"

Yu Xiaobao said: "There are preaching arrangements today. Don't force yourself. Can you really hold on?"

Liu Shang hurriedly patted his chest and promised that he would not let anything slip during the propaganda activities. Yu Xiaobao was still worried and asked the doctor to prescribe him a prescription to recuperate his health, and ordered the people at the guest house to go to the pharmacy to give him the prescription. Liu Shang could not refuse.

, I had no choice but to thank him in advance.

Not long after, the owner of the drugstore came over with the doctor and clerk. He heard that a senior official from Sanya who came to Danzhou to inspect government affairs was unwell. The owner didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly took the medicine according to the prescription and some more.

He hurried over to take the tonic. The boss was also very attentive. He was afraid that there was no guy at the guest house to prepare the medicine, so he even asked the waiter to bring the medicine jar.

"It's really good to be an official..." Liu Shang could only sigh sincerely when he saw such a scene. Although he also knew that he was not a high-ranking Haihan official, he was only temporarily recruited to this inspection team.

As a small person, this kind of treatment was not directed at himself, but at the inspection team he was a part of, but it was enough to make him moved.

Of course Yu Xiaobao also knew that these people had misunderstandings, but because of his high position, he was too lazy to explain to the little people in the market. He immediately asked the people from the guest house to take the pharmacy group to the kitchen and arranged a stove for them to cook.

Medicine. As for the related expenses, naturally someone will come forward to settle the settlement with the pharmacy, but he will not use his official position to take advantage of these ordinary people. For him, these small things are far less important than Liu Shang's health. After all, Liu Shang

Responsible publicity of trade policies is one of the important tasks of this inspection team. The lack of this link will inevitably affect the completion of the task.

Liu Shang was originally just too anxious and didn't get a good rest at night. In fact, he didn't have any illnesses, let alone need to take medicine for treatment. But the current situation was beyond his control and he could only follow Yu Xiaobao's arrangements.

.

Not long after, Zhang Xin also came here to coordinate with Yu Xiaobao on the arrangements for today's lecture. Hearing that someone in the inspection team was sick, he also came over to give Liu Shang a few words of comfort. Liu Shang could only helplessly express that he had no serious health problems.

It will not affect today's work arrangements.

After Zhang Xin left, Liu Shang felt a little frustrated when he thought about how he nodded and bowed just now. Did he get too involved in the role of a Haihan official? How could he unconsciously begin to grovel to the high-ranking officials of Haihan?

This sign is really scary and must be stopped as soon as possible. Otherwise, after a while, I am afraid that I will really be assimilated by this evil Haihan system.

After a lot of trouble, Liu Shang finally didn't have time to take the medicine before departure, but the pharmacy owner guaranteed that the medicine would be taken to the venue as soon as it was fried, so that his condition would not be delayed.

I am well aware of my physical condition, so naturally I won’t pay too much attention to such things.

The propaganda activity at Danzhou was the one with the largest audience during this trip. Not only were there many representatives from the local business, cultural, and political circles, but also foreign envoys and businessmen who had recently participated in an arms exhibition in Danzhou. There were a large number of people.

There were more than 300 people. Including the staff at the venue and the security personnel outside to maintain order, the total audience was at least 500.

The entire set of amplification equipment consisting of electric speakers, microphones and batteries specially brought by the inspection team from Sanya was finally put to use. The technicians had set up and debugged it at the venue last night. Today, they only need to go on stage and use it directly. But Liu

Shang had never used this kind of amplification equipment before. After arriving at the venue, Xiaobao explained how to use it himself, but he didn't understand the principle at all.

After Liu Shang arrived in Haihan, he had seen too many strange things, and he had already adapted to this novel feeling. He knew in his heart that this thing was probably some kind of black technology mastered by the Haihan people, even if it was Yu Xiaobao

Even if he was willing to reveal its principles, he would definitely not understand it, so he simply didn't ask for the secret.

"You have also seen that many foreign businessmen, including Daming, were present at today's lecture, so the content of trade must be explained in as much detail as possible. Slow down your speech appropriately and enunciate clearly to avoid some confusion.

Foreign businessmen can't understand." Yu Xiaobao did not forget to give Liu Shang some more instructions before starting.

Liu Shang did not dare to neglect and responded quickly. At this time, the drugstore owner and his waiters hurriedly delivered the fried medicine to the venue. Liu Shang could only hold his nose and drink it. In fact, the doctor prescribed it to him.

It is nothing more than a common prescription for treating colds, and drinking it will not cause any harm to the body.

According to the practice of previous information conferences, the local administrative officer Zhang Xin still appeared first, explained the significance and purpose of this propaganda event, and introduced the identities of the inspection team members. When Liu Shang was introduced, there was no

It was mentioned that he was temporarily hired by Yu Xiaobao as a substitute, and instead he was given the position of "Propaganda Department Officer".

Of course, Zhang Xin did not forget to promote the local area: "...after you buy guns and armor locally, don't forget to take some time out from your busy schedule and walk around Danzhou City and beyond. The local food and scenery are also quite good.

If you plan to buy a house or land, invest in a farm, or set up an academy in Danzhou, I also welcome you on behalf of the Danzhou Management Committee. Of course, if you report your name to me when the time comes... there will be no discount."

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience. Those who have the ability to purchase property and land locally will of course understand that Zhang Xin is just joking. In fact, the Danzhou area has considerable incentives for investment promotion, especially for investment in plantations and

For long-term projects such as farms, Haihan City will provide great tax incentives, and will promise to purchase the output of these private farms and plantations at reasonable prices in the agreement. In the past few years since Danzhou changed hands

, the area of ​​cultivated land has increased two or three times compared to the Ming Dynasty. Most of the increased cultivated area is plantations and private farms developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and foreign investors.

In the process of dealing with Haihan, more and more foreign businessmen have realized that in the business of cooperating with Haihan, in addition to agency sales, there are two other businesses that are also very profitable. One is that Haihan's foreign trade is very dependent on

Maritime transportation, and the second is to invest and develop plantations in Haihan territory.

When Haihan first started the plantation project, except for a few die-hard followers such as Fulifeng, the vast majority of foreign businessmen still had a wait-and-see mentality and did not invest in such projects in a large scale. On the one hand, they were worried about Haihan.

Whether the Han people's agricultural technology is as advanced as they boast, on the other hand, they are still a little worried about Haihan's nationalized land policy. After all, the land occupied by Haihan is almost all the territory that used to belong to the Ming Dynasty. What if something happens?

When Tian Daming calls back, all the money and effort invested in these places will be in vain, and he might even be accused of colluding with outsiders.

Later, as Haihan's national strength gradually emerged, the experience and conditions of the plantations were gradually recognized by the outside world. With the support of the Haihan Ministry of Agriculture, almost all of the first batch of plantations operated by private investment achieved quite good returns.

, and this kind of benefit does not end in one year, but can last for several years. The long-term return on investment is quite considerable.

In addition, the most promising thing about these projects among investors is that they have low operating risks. Hainan Island, under the rule of the Haihan people, has basically been recognized as one of the most important places in the entire South China Sea, and even in the mainland including the Ming Dynasty and the Indochina Peninsula.

, can be regarded as the safest and most stable place. When investing in Haihan, there is basically no risk of war or man-made disasters. This can be said to be a condition that other places in the Far East at the same time are difficult to meet.

Especially for businessmen from the Ming Dynasty, investing in and operating a farm outside the Ming Dynasty is almost equivalent to leaving a way out for themselves and their families overseas. In the event that the war in the Ming Dynasty intensifies, the court will be concerned about internal worries.

If there is no effective way to control the foreign invasion, you can at least go to Haihan to escape the war. Even if you can’t take any property with you, you will still have your own property to support your family when you arrive in Haihan. From this perspective, in Haihan,

Haihan's investment is actually buying an insurance for his family's future, and the investment is protected by the most powerful armed force in the entire South China Sea. To be honest, even if the profit is a little thin, in view of the protection Haihan promised to investors,

This long-term investment is also worth it. What’s more, I haven’t heard of anyone losing money in business cooperation with Haihan.

It is precisely based on this consideration that many people, after observing the situation for a period of time, decisively began to invest in various agricultural and forestry projects on Hainan Island. On the one hand, it was a long-term operation project, and on the other hand, they also used it to build a good relationship with Hainan.

relationship so that we can obtain Haihan’s asylum when necessary in the future.

Although Danzhou is not as good as Haihan's current capital, Sanya, in terms of business environment, it also has its own advantages. After the Danzhou assassination in 1631, Haihan used the excuse of purging the rebels to eliminate a large number of people who were not amenable to management in Danzhou.

Landowners were cleared and a large number of ownerless lands were state-owned. Therefore, when Danzhou implemented the plantation development plan, there were rarely disputes over the ownership of the land. As long as the funds were in place, investors could

Thousands of acres of contiguous land are obtained for development, which can also greatly reduce the initial development and construction costs.

Danzhou's success in becoming one of the three municipal administrative units in Haihan is directly related to the regional prosperity brought about by foreign investment. Although there are not as many foreign investors here as in Sanya, they are already

A very considerable amount.

After Zhang Xin finished his speech and left the stage, Yu Xiaobao motioned for Liu Shang to come on stage. Liu Shang had already given a lecture elsewhere before, so he knew that this job was just memorizing a manuscript. He was good at storytelling and performance, so it was nothing to him.

I was so nervous. I immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Zhang Xin who was walking down the stage, and then made his debut on the stage.

Liu Shang walked to the podium and couldn't help but look at the microphone standing on the table. Yu Xiaobao had told him before that as long as he spoke to this thing and used a normal volume, everyone could be heard.

Listen clearly, Zhang Xin's speech on stage just now has confirmed this.

Liu Shang calmed his breathing, and then introduced himself: "My Excellency, Liu Shang, is currently working in the Haihan Propaganda Department. Today, I will tell you about my country's recent trade policy..."

Although Liu Shang has not spent time memorizing the manuscript in the past few days, he has an excellent memory. After reading the manuscript twice last night and this morning, he was able to give a speech without script. And he was used to it when he was a storyteller.

Being surrounded by people, he is not nervous when talking on stage. While speaking, he can also observe the emotional reactions of the audience and make adjustments to his speech. Even measured by professional standards, Liu Shang can be regarded as a person of good quality.

of speakers.

Zhang Xin listened for a while, then turned his head and asked Xiaobao in a low voice: "Is this the new person recruited by the Propaganda Department this year?"

Yu Xiaobao nodded and said: "You are very new. I picked him up and recruited him during the on-the-job training."

Zhang Xindao: "That means it hasn't been assigned yet? I'll tell Mr. Ning later and ask him to assign Liu Shang to Danzhou."

Yu Xiaobao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that won't work. This Liu Shang is quite capable. After this trip back, I will also report his performance truthfully. At that time, the superiors will probably directly name the person and let him in.

Ministries do things.”

Zhang Xin sighed and said: "Fort Victory has wiped out all the talents, which makes it difficult for us to carry out work at the local level! You can go back and report it to the superiors, and also allocate some professional talents to the local area!"

Yu Xiaobao smiled and said: "I will convey your opinions on my behalf, but I don't dare to complain so much to the leaders. I probably won't be able to play any role in Liu Shang's distribution issue. If you really want people with peace of mind, then

It would be better to send a telegram to the Executive Committee in person."

Liu Shang, who was talking eloquently on the stage, had no idea that he had become a fragrant man without knowing it, and a high-ranking official from Haihan had named him as his subordinate.
