Cosma Empire

In the quiet night, the phone rang abruptly. The owner of the room had often suffered from insomnia due to anxiety these days. After drinking some wine this evening, he felt a little sleepy, and finally managed to get a good night's sleep.

But it was this phone call that woke him up immediately. He sat up from the bed a little irritable, and looked viciously at the landline phone that disturbed his rest, as if his eyes could be aligned with the phone line and saw the person harassing him on the other end.

Slightly calming down the irritability in his heart, he took a deep breath to suppress the anger surging in his heart, picked up the phone, "This is..."

He stopped before he finished speaking, and he could hear, apart from the noisy human voice, there would be a sound like a gunshot within a few seconds.

"Mr. Harry, our mine car has been ambushed...the situation is critical now, what should we do?" Harry knew the person who spoke, and he was one of the persons in charge of the mining area. order.

Most mining areas have more than one person in charge. According to different functions, the larger the mining area, the more people in charge.

He almost jumped up from the bed in shock, and walked a few steps back and forth in the room. In the dimly lit room, there was a cold light in his eyes.

He knew very well that the people who could intercept their minecart at this time were nothing more than two possibilities.

The first possibility is that many of the mine protection team in the mining area are former local gold diggers and members of the mine protection team. The composition of these people is quite complicated, and some of them may have a certain relationship with the robbers in the wild Relationship.

This is not his random guessing. During the raid against illegal private armed forces in the first half of the year, many bandits and robbers groups were removed, and some mine employees and even the backbone of the mine protection team were implicated.

Only in this way can these robbers be able to accurately grasp the news of mining and goods from various mining areas, and then intercept them. Without the help of these people, it is estimated that they will not be able to do a single job in a lifetime.

Durin's efforts to wipe out the illegal armed forces in Ambiluo State have achieved remarkable results, but this does not mean that all robbers and robbers have really been wiped out.

The wilderness of the entire Ambiluo state has complex topography and a vast area. If a small group of people drills somewhere, it is really not possible to find it by human search, but it is reasonable to find some fish that slip through the net.

This time, they did not transport from the Yagur mountain camp on the Ambiluo State side, but changed to the other side. Maybe these people thought that the opportunity had come, and decided to rob their convoy with cooperation from inside and outside.

But there is a second possibility, that is Du Lin's people.

There is Du Lin's eyeliner in the entire Ambiluo State. Many policies promulgated after he came to power have made the situation and economic development of Ambilao State significantly improved compared to the past.

Especially after the implementation of staged free education, it has won the support of the vast majority of people in the state.

These farmers and cowboys in the west are different from those in the southern cities. They are stupid and ignorant, but they are also enthusiastic and loyal. It is very possible for someone to find out and tell Du Lin secretly.

Moreover, the kind of battle heard from the phone is definitely not something that ordinary small armed forces can do.

He weighed quickly in his mind,

Gritting his teeth, he ordered, "Evacuate all the people on the ground into the mine, and then let the mine guard team in the mine area support the convoy, try to hold back the incoming enemies, and I will let others rush over as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the person in charge to answer, and then quickly mentioned it and called the duty phone of Tower Shield Security Company.

Now Tower Shield Security Company has been fully acquired by the Ambiluo State Mining Company and has become a subsidiary company. It no longer accepts various task orders from the society and specializes in serving the mining area.

The gold diggers and mine guards in the company are also very satisfied, their wages are 20% higher than before, the food has improved, and they only need to work two days a week. No one has any complaints, and they all think that the new owner is a good person .

At this time, a phone call penetrated the entire employee dormitory of Tower Shield Security Company, and all the lights in the 150 four-person dormitories in the expanded dormitory area were all lit up, and the piercing assembly number in the buzzer lit up the company base. brightly lit.

The base of Tower Shield Security Company is not in the city. After all, these employees have to undergo daily military training, and if necessary, there are weapons training subjects. If there are gunshots all day in the city center, it will definitely not work.

Therefore, this base needs to be on the outskirts of the city. The original board of directors of the company bought a piece of land in the camp area. Maybe it was to commemorate the glorious years of the camp outside Yagur Mountain. Maybe the land here was cheap enough. Settled down on Mount Yagur.

From here to the mining area, if you drive all the way, it will take up to four or five hours. If they have other trails that others don't know, maybe the speed will be faster.

For a while, tasks and guns and ammunition were distributed in the base, and then mountain bikes entered Yagur Mountain directly from the side of the base, and some people rode horses. Most of these people were gold diggers, and they were more familiar with For the terrain and routes in Yagur Mountain, riding a horse is more advantageous than driving a car.

The impact of the fierce gun battle that broke out in the mountain soon spread to the outside of the mountain. Dulin was chatting with the state secretary of agriculture about some work issues.

In Ambiluo State, agriculture and animal husbandry were the mainstay of the local economy in the past. Because of the existence of the Western Mining Association, the government could not extract much tax from the development of mineral resources. Agriculture and animal husbandry have become the most important economic growth point embarrassingly. .

With the abolition of the Western Mine Association, some riots occurred in the western mining industry. Many mine owners were arrested for buying and selling slaves, abusing and killing slaves. Some mining areas have now been seized, which gave agriculture and animal husbandry the upper hand again.

However, this situation lasted for less than a year. Durin began to govern the state of Ambiluo, and vigorously developed the tourism industry. The scale of the agricultural and animal husbandry industry once again shrank even more than before.

If it weren't for the support of Durin's agricultural and animal husbandry company, I am afraid that the agricultural and animal husbandry industry in Ambiluo State would be over.

People are happy to be loyal to jobs that are more leisurely and earn more, and weeds are overgrown in patches of arable land. If it is not for people's need for meat, they may not even want to continue raising cattle and sheep.

If the situation in the state continues to spread according to the current situation, people's development of agriculture and animal husbandry will soon be limited to a scale that is "enough for their own use", then agriculture and animal husbandry can be said to be really over, and the Ministry of Agriculture will also be over. .

After finally getting into the position of the Minister of Agriculture of the state, and then inexplicably having no power at all, such a day is not what the Minister of Agriculture wants.

"Then what do you mean?" Du Lin poured him a little wine, which helped him ease his emotions and made people relax.

Alcoholic beverages have always played a very important role in the social culture of the empire. No matter success or failure, abjection or prosperity, from shady deals to horrific-scale agreements, alcoholic beverages are inseparable.

The Prohibition Law still exists, and the Contraband Investigation Bureau has not revoked it, and it still exercises its unique powers. Every year, many businessmen who sell bootleg alcohol are arrested and sentenced, and a large amount of bootleg alcohol is burned and dumped.

But now these things have nothing to do with Dulin. We all know that Dulin is a decent businessman, a successful governor, and his businesses are all legal and licensed.

The entire moonshine industry is changing dramatically, but that's another question.

The Minister of Agriculture drank a little wine and felt a lot better. His shoulders, which had been flat, slumped a little, which meant that his body had begun to relax.

"Your Excellency Governor, I have no opinion on your decision. I just think that while vigorously developing the tourism industry, we should also take into account our local agricultural and animal husbandry industry. Whether we can develop some local characteristics like you have developed green tourism. A new concept of farming and animal husbandry?"

In fact, Du Lin listened carefully to the words of the Minister of Agriculture, and also considered them carefully. If rapid economic development is the basis for a country's take-off, then agriculture and animal husbandry are the basis for a country's survival.

This is already related to national-level policies, and we cannot be cautious enough.

The Ministry of Agriculture of the Empire has issued several reports in the past few years, pointing out that while the economy is developing rapidly, the empire's agriculture and animal husbandry is shrinking rapidly. From self-sufficiency to now needing to import food from the Colt Empire, it is enough to explain the problem severity.

However, it is not possible for Du Lin to solve this problem. This requires the cooperation of various departments of the entire empire and society to achieve it, and to promote the process of mechanized farming and animal husbandry production.

He frowned and thought for a while, "I can't intervene in other places, but here I can make the decision. Your opinion is very important to me. I will hold a meeting to discuss this matter in the near future. In addition, you can send your opinion to It has been announced that starting next year, Ambiluo State will cancel the collection of agricultural taxes, and give farms and ranches certain subsidies, and underwrite sales of high-quality products, and..."

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Du Lin's train of thought. He glanced at the phone, turned his head and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'll take a call first."

"It doesn't matter, your matter is more important." The Minister of Agriculture is a person who understands "markets" very well. Maybe Du Lin is much younger than him, but he absolutely dare not underestimate this young governor.

Du Lin nodded, stood up and went to the landline to answer the call, and soon his brows frowned, "I remember that you have a sentry platform there, and if that thing is driving in the forest area, it should be very fast... Don't talk to me about wear and tear, money has never been an issue!"
