Chengdu, also known as Chengdu or Jincheng, was the capital of Sichuan Province and the only sub-provincial city in the southwest region. It was a huge city.
In the future, this place was an important high-tech industrial base, a trade and logistics center, and an important central city in the western region. It was also a famous historical and cultural city in the country, the birthplace of the ancient Shu civilization, and one of the ten ancient capitals of the Chinese Dynasty.
Because it was located in the Western Sichuan Basin, the river network was crisscrossed and the products were rich. Since ancient times, it had enjoyed the reputation of "the land of abundance".
After several adjustments, the administrative area of Chengdu expanded from 29.9 square kilometers to 14312 square kilometers. At present, Chengdu only had one Laocheng District.
Lu Yao, Chen Xi, Lin Ling, Fan Buji, and a few security guards walked on the streets of Chengdu. Listening to the familiar Sichuan accent, Lu Yao felt as if he had been through a lifetime. However, as he looked at the thin and poor people, reality still crushed all of Lu Yao's fantasies.
Over the past month, more than 500 Bio-Humans had been deployed. There were Chinese and all kinds of foreigners. Currently, Sichuan was the focus. They used the gemstones and diamonds in their hands to exchange for silver and gold. Lu Yao and the others had 2 million taels of silver and 200,000 taels of gold. However, they still had to spend this money.
And in various places in China, they had used these gems and diamonds to exchange for more than five million taels of silver and more than 400,000 taels of gold.
Lu Yao came to Chengdu today to visit the current leader, Kui Jun.
Guaerjia Kuijun, also known as Lefeng, was a Manchurian from the White Flag. He was a member of the Guaerjia family, a Mongolian, and one of the four richest men in the capital. He was Rong Lu's uncle, a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and a calligrapher.
At present, he had just taken up the position of Governor of Sichuan. This guy was a local tycoon. He was very rich and was a tactful official. He could be considered a guy who was wise and protected himself.
This time, Lu Yao was able to see him because Michelle, who was in the United States, had informed Conger, the American envoy to China, that they had today's meeting. The reason was to invest in the factory.
In fact, they had done a lot of things in the past month. First, they sent spies and businessmen all over the world. Second, they infiltrated the country. They used the identity of foreigners to make a lot of money everywhere and then established an intelligence network. At this time, all the Chinese Bio-Humans came out. Because they had money, they quickly opened up the situation.
On the border between the United States and Canada, near Seattle, a small town was built. There were all kinds of Bio-Humans in it, and some seemingly old daily necessities were specially made to create a reasonable identity.
It was enough for now. With Michelle's endorsement, their identities were no longer a problem.
The purpose of looking for Kuijun today was to buy land to set up a factory and become a Qing citizen. He had already sent gifts in advance. When Kuijun saw Lu Yao and the others, he was very enthusiastic. After all, foreigners in China were currently active in the outer coastal areas, and these Chinese and foreigners coming to the mainland to set up factories in Sichuan were all his political achievements. Coupled with the bribe money, how could he not be happy?
"This, how should I address you?”
"Sir, I am Lu Yao, an American Chinese. I have returned to the country to set up a factory to benefit the village and revitalize the country.”
" This is a good thing. Of course it has to be approved. You can ask where you want it to be. It's for the country and the people. I just hope that Brother Lu can put in a good word for Minister Kang Ge."”
Lu Yao only wanted to roll his eyes now. So that was what you were thinking. I'm drunk. But speaking of which, this isn't anything difficult. It's just a pity that Conger doesn't know me.
"That's good, that's good. Oh right, I still want to do more for the court, so I came here today to submit my citizenship application to you. Also, I want to donate an official position.”
As Lu Yao spoke, he took out some silver notes and silently handed them into Kuijun's sleeve. Kuijun merely rolled his eyes and immediately smiled." No problem, no problem. I can understand Brother Lu's feelings for the country and the people. Where do you want to go?”
"Neijiang and Panhua, please approve.”
"This…"
Lu Yao instantly understood and handed over another stack of banknotes. Kuijun instantly smiled." Sure, sure, no problem. Then Neijiang and Panzhi."”
"Hmm, how about the position of Neijiang County Magistrate and Huili Governor?”
"Thank you, sir. It's just that the Boxer Rebellion in Neijiang has been happening frequently. I hope that you will approve of my military post so that the border can be safe.”
This time, Kuijun did not open his hand again. He also knew that these businessmen valued safety. It was true that rebellions often occurred there, so he was very generous when he gave it to the Neijiang County Magistrate. However, when it came to Huili Prefecture, he was a little too much. However, it was indeed understandable that Lu Yao wanted a military position now.
"President Qian, Brother Lu, I've been worried sick for you.”
"Then thank you, sir. I have arranged a banquet at the Jinjiang Restaurant in the east of the city. You must come!”
"Sure, sure, sure. I'll definitely be there!”
"Then I will take my leave."
After leaving the governor's manor, Chen Xi was about to suffocate to death. Lin Ling also looked at Lu Yao strangely as if she did not know him. Lu Yao naturally knew what they meant and said indifferently,"I'm new here, so it's better to be safe. Only a real man can be flexible!”
"By the way, have the machines and equipment that we bought from those foreign companies returned?”
When Chen Xi heard that they were talking about serious matters, he immediately became serious." We can basically arrive in half a month, but you know the domestic transportation. It's really terrible.”
"Time waits for no man. Think about the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Do you still want history to repeat itself? We still have to develop as soon as possible.”
"Yes!"
At night, it was naturally a situation where the guests were satisfied. To do such a thing, Lu Yao really had to come. Being thick-skinned was not just for show.
After the meal, Lu Yao and the others only waited for a day before they had to trouble themselves with their official seals and all kinds of certificates. Now that they had become local figures, everyone's hearts relaxed.
Now that he had his own territory, he could follow his own ideas to realize the idea of reviving China. That night, Lu Yao was so excited that he couldn't sleep. The next day, before dawn, he returned to the Mi Yi Base.
