Chapter 753 Bidding
".I will come again, but next time, I will pick you up, and you have slept too long."

It was still a huge Yihuan library where every inch of land was expensive. Zheng Li stood silently in a familiar place.

This is the seventh time I've been here in ten years. The last time I came was two years ago. Zheng Li also said the same thing at the time, but since I came to Shiqian City for some reason, I couldn't help but not come to see it.

"Thank you."

"It's our duty to do nothing."

Different from the uneasiness and hesitation at the beginning, now Zheng Li, in the face of guards with top-level combat power, can still look at him at the same level and even "observe" the opponent's ability composition with interest, and determine some average combat power.

"It's really good. Once something happens, there are more than twelve quasi-mythical combat forces. It seems that they are not ordinary civilian combat forces."

Being in a different position, with different eyes, seeing the same thing is completely different.

As far as Zheng Li saw, the original two guards took turns, which is not the reality here at all.

Two people were on the bright side, two people were hiding in the shadows, four people were hiding on the sub-planet, and four people Zheng Li only felt their presence, and didn't find out where they were for a long time.

When I came here before, I still felt that the resident power here was a bit small. It seems that I was too young at the beginning.

".That's right. After all, this is Shiqian City's most important strategic weapon. If you really want to attack this city, a surprise attack here is too cost-effective."

After walking out of the solemn but somewhat depressing hall, Zheng Li sighed, found a vending machine for himself, and took a bottle of hot drink.

".Go to the R&D department to have a look. By the way, I will have a meal with Dr. Snake later."

But before he reached his destination, he could only shake his head helplessly. It seemed that he had nothing to choose for lunch.

"Brother Zheng, you didn't say hello to your brothers when you came here. Let's go for a walk and have a meal together."

"Minister Yang Yang, how dare I bother you."

This is also the fourth minister that Zheng Li has "accidentally encountered" in the past few days. Counting the top executives in Shiqian City, there are about seventeen or eighteen ministers.

Thanks to these people's hard work, Zheng Li, a young man with no title and no official position, is not good at anything. If he is called high, he will be laughed at if he is flattering. If he is called low, he will not be close. .

These days, Zheng Li has become "brothers" with several hundred- and two-hundred-year-old elders, and the titles "little brother" and "little brother" have received a lot of attention.

At the same time, I also ate a few extra lunches and dinners, and I drank afternoon tea.

Under the advice of his staff, Zheng Li did not refuse any invitation. This made him more neutral.

Anyone can talk about being friendly and wooing, but in fact, it is a kind of performance of not taking sides.

In the first few days, most of the bigwigs came to talk about the news released by Zheng Li through the speaker, the "ticket" that was being sold. However, since the election will take several months, the situation is still too chaotic. No one made up his mind and took out chips that Zheng Li was satisfied with.

To put it simply, there are not many candidates who have been eliminated. The other side of everyone's hope is that everyone's hope is not great, so these candidates are not willing to give up their fortunes.

Zheng Li is not in a hurry, even if his staff does not give advice, he also knows that as time goes by, as the election process becomes more and more clear, the last few candidates will go crazy. Even more valuable.

"Hehe, don't blame me for raising the price when the time comes, it's you who are not willing to spend money now because they don't know what I want most, and they are reluctant to give it."

At this level, what Zheng Li wants is naturally not just gold, silver and jewelry. Everyone needs precious god-level materials, and it doesn't make much sense to use them as bargaining chips.

"...The southern end of the great road, just this plan is released, and my world will be more than ten times prosperous. Not to mention, the construction permit of a fortress-level city."

What Zheng Li wanted was actually something quite pure—policy.

For the towns and fortresses outside, there is actually a certain evaluation mechanism in the city. From the fifth-level village to the first-level fortress, the highest level is the fortress-level capital, which can basically be regarded as an important town at the sub-capital level.

This rating is actually just an administrative title, which means little to many people. Even if you rise to the sky, the local officials are still responsible for their own profits and losses.

After all, Shiqian City's central faction has mastered the local faction. Ahem, everyone understands this. This level is more of an honor. At least find some work for the establishment department.

Some areas have not changed their administrative levels for a hundred years. There are quite a few examples of fourth- and fifth-level villages marked on the map that are now metropolises with a population of one million. Many people are used to ignoring the so-called "administrative level".

As far as the current situation of the Monsoon Land is concerned, it is obviously far from the highest level of assessment. It is said that tens of millions of people are needed as a base, and the last census of the Monsoon Land was less than one million.

But that's what Zheng Li wanted, in fact, he just wanted a pretense and a reason.

"With the title of 'Frontline Capital City', I am eligible to apply for the extension of the Great Road to my direction. Even if the construction is a matter of a monkey year, I can get countless opportunities and investments with only this plan and plan. "

In the current fast-paced and investment-oriented era, what you do is really good, which is far less important than "others think you will become better". Really, when everyone thinks you are good and is willing to invest in you, a A pig can fly.

Six years have passed. Due to the increase in military pressure, the Great Road, the main road of the Revival Alliance, has received more investment and support. This is the lifeline linking the six cities, and it is an important main road for the circulation of countless military forces and resources. It is a road to wealth.

The land of monsoons can develop so fast, in fact, because of the free ride, that is, Shiqian City and its affiliated forces, the transportation channel to the front line.

Due to the dissipation of spiritual energy, all materials are time-limited, and many things must be purchased locally, mined and produced locally. When this road is fully operated by the war machine, the cities and villages along the road will naturally receive countless The orders, high-quality projects that were coveted in the past, fell from the sky one after another, just to make the war potential of the entire Shiqian city force come into play.

This is like a peninsula war on a certain planet, where two major powers fought to the death. As a result, a certain island country next door received a large number of orders from one of the major powers and quickly recovered.

Land of the Monsoons is moving so fast, it is eating the dividends of the times, and it is only eating a part of the total war, which means that the width of the front line exceeds expectations, and there are at least dozens of various main roads.

What Zheng Li and the Monsoon Land can eat is only a part, which is the part of the front line closest to his area, but due to the geographical advantage of the Monsoon Land, they eat more (compared to the surrounding areas).

But now, what Zheng Li wants is the extension of the "Road to Greatness". This is not a decision that any high-level executive can come up with. Negotiate internally.

What Zheng Li wants is this "proposal" itself. As long as it is determined that the Monsoon Land is one of the key points of future development, or the highest administrative capital, then his "small world" can become an important component of the entire human power map. It's not just the parts of Shiqian City.

The war dividends that can be eaten at that time will really be lying down and winning.

Sometimes, the focus is not on the chessboard at all, but outside the chessboard. With the help of some think tanks, Zheng Li came up with this bold proposal.

"In any case, you are also one of the three poles, and you are officially recognized. As long as you get the full support of the other pole, even if it is only verbal, two-to-one, this proposal must be decided at the meeting. Spend some money to stir up some news, even if it fails in the end, we will change from 'a rural place unknown to city people' to 'a future deputy capital with great potential'."

Zheng Li's request for selling tickets is "after becoming the speaker, you must fully support this plan." This is not a blank check that can be agreed casually. Political commitments must be fully responded to, otherwise public breach of trust and promises will be destroyed. It is tantamount to destroying one's own political reputation.

"As long as I keep this promise, I don't need to seriously develop my territory. Sooner or later, it will become the most prosperous world in the southern theater."
