Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 171 Layout
Although the Lann family's plan is still a long way from success, and Huang Jiang still has a lot of time to complete the construction and expansion of his territory, Stowe's words made Huang Jiang aware of a problem.

I lack a pair of eyes.

As one of the components of the federal rule, many deacons are actually not sharp. It is just because they have sea souls that they have room to gain a foothold.But Huang Jiang is not the kind of deacon who just waits for death. He needs to keep abreast of the federation's trends and be able to brake in time to stop losses if the wind goes wrong.

Therefore, he must have a stable source of intelligence to let him know the major events happening on Lanhuadan Island. After all, newspapers can only see what he can know.

And he didn't want to have a family or chamber of commerce behind him like most deacons. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to get information from these third parties. Apart from the nominal council, he had nothing on his head and had to find a way on his own.

Preferably this person is a member of Parliament.

However, Huang Jiang does not trust the members elected by others, because they are likely to be elected by the governor, the chamber of commerce, or the nobles, and there is no guarantee that their information will always be correct.The first thing Huang Jiang thought of was Byron. When this member of the investigation team was stationed on Gloria Island, Huang Jiang once talked with him. The two people's tendencies were very consistent.

However, Huang Jiang soon gave up this idea. Byron was more conservative than him. His ideal was to take back most of the power from the hands of the deacons and hand it over to officials appointed by the parliament.But Huang Jiang knows very well that this kind of idea is difficult to realize in this world, because even if he loses most of his power, the deacon still holds the sea soul that represents the highest military power. As long as he has a gun in his hand, then power is not a problem. .

Unless Byron can be so awesome that he can use the constraints between various factions to achieve this goal, this hope can be said to be too slim. You must know that in the face of the red trend, capitalists who usually compete to the death We can all unite, not to mention the deacon group.

"Several members of the Lann family submitted a "New Development Act" a few days ago." Stowe continued, "They claimed that they would let nobles with noble blood bear their responsibilities and contribute to the federal government. The people charged into battle and drove the mirage out of the world. That's a nice thing to say."

Huang Jiang wanted to laugh a little, but he still held it back. You only need to believe half of this kind of show, because it contains too much water. He thought for a while and said, "This will definitely offend many noble members. Bar?"

"Of course." Stowe said matter-of-factly, "But the nobles are not all idlers. There are also many passionate young people who plan to restore the glory of their ancestors... Oh my god, don't they know that many of their ancestors were deserters back then? ?"

Huang Jiang shrugged and did not express his position.

Stowe continued: "But until now, the representatives of the nine governors have still not expressed their stance. Their attitude is really ambiguous."

After continuing to talk for a while, Huang Jiang and Stowe ended the conversation. They each took away a contract, which was made in triplicate. The other copy will be kept at the Commercial Alliance's office, with Joyce's assistant.

"Uh... what are you..." Huang Jiang pushed open the door of the conference room and walked outside, only to find Lexington and Hai Lixing playing around with something. When he looked closely, he saw that they were knitting a scarf.

Huang Jiang is very familiar with this movement, because the female classmate at the front desk helped her boyfriend knit a scarf in this way in high school. It's a pity that the fool didn't weave it for a whole summer, and Huang Jiang helped her weave it in the end. Maybe she My boyfriend still doesn’t know that the scarf embroidered with the Gudazi emoticon was made by a boy.

etc!Is this considered dog-licking behavior?

Huang Jiang stopped for a moment, pondering for a while, and then he couldn't remember the face of the female classmate.

Damn, why did I help weave scarves? Why didn't I knit gourds with wool?

"Huang Jiang." Lexington turned around and saw Huang Jiang and said with a smile, "Is everything done?"

"Yes." Huang Jiang nodded and found that most of the scarf in his wife's hand had been completed. It seemed that she had been knitting for a long time and did not start today.The knitted scarf was also embroidered with the Q-version images of several ship girls. Huang Jiang recognized it for a while and recognized Lexington, Saratoga, Constellation, Phelps and Blue Phantom, as well as the embroidered ones. Halfway through...is that the Empire?

"When winter comes, we will almost finish knitting." Lexington said with a smile.

"It's so good." Hai Lixing sighed, "I want to knit one for Stowe too."

After a few people chatted for a while, Huang Jiang called Hemingway and asked him to take Stowe and Hailixing to experience the scenery of Jialan. Stowe readily agreed and left the Deacon Mansion with Hailixing and Hemingway.

"Madam, is there anyone on the island who is worthy of our complete trust?" Huang Jiang asked Lexington, who was sitting on the sofa and packing his tools.

"It depends on what you want to do." Lexington raised his head and said, "It's only been half a year, and it's impossible to cultivate someone who is absolutely sincere."

"I want him to run for parliament." Huang Jiang said, squinting his eyes.

"Congressman..." Lexington thought for a while and said, "It's about time. But we don't have the opportunity to let people we trust run for election. It's better to find some congressmen who can be bribed. After all, you don't need it now. All they need to achieve results is a pair of eyes, isn't it? I think there are many MPs in the parliament who are waiting to die like this. They need to save up funds to participate in the next election. I think they are happy to see it. New sponsor."

"But... are they reliable?" Huang Jiang asked worriedly.

"The more eyes you have, the more real you will see." Lexington said, "It just so happened that Jiagang's dividend came today, and I was worried that I had no place to spend the money."

The construction of Jialan has not stopped for a moment, but Jiagang has earned more profits. After all, after opening up the construction market with three buildings, the entire civilian steel market has become the preserve of Jiagang, and other steel The group is either not large enough and the market is already full, or the technology is insufficient to produce steel that is far lower than the cost of Haihun Steel but is sufficient for the construction industry.

At least for now, Jiagang has a monopoly on this market.

Sure enough, monopoly means huge profits.

Huang Jiang had to sigh, no wonder there were so many Thomas the Tank Engine in his previous life... Um... It seems that's not the name, is it Trust?

However, Huang Jiang was not satisfied with this. While using the investment from the business alliance to continuously increase his shares in Jiagang, he also instructed Kaleji to produce special steel suitable for warships, not civilian ships, but The kind of warship that can withstand a few shells on the mirage battlefield.

This is also a virgin territory, because until now, most of the federal warships are still in dual-use status, both military and civilian, and have not become a separate system.

This is also because the advent of the sea soul has completely distorted the technology tree of this world. There are almost no points in the weapon column. Even with the mirage as a big enemy, humans have no chance to kill each other. Hot weapons such as firearms and artillery Still in the infancy of rifled guns, there was little development after that, as they didn't need to mass kill their fellow man yet.

"Then let's do it." Because of Lexington's reminder, Huang Jiang finally remembered that he seemed to be rich now.

Damn it, I'm used to being poor, so I didn't react for a while.
