Chapter 179 Beating Frank
Wu Xuewen returned to Australia to report his job. He never thought that he would get a wife, and Shi Mo, one of the most outstanding maids around the master, was so happy that he couldn't even sit still.
Whether it is a secretary or a maid, they are all people close to Li Fushou, and they all know each other well.
These girls were chosen by many choices, and their appearance and personality were all the best. Even if the secretary was attracted to the pretty maids, no one dared to go beyond the rules. That was not what the secretary dared to expect.
The Count did not speak, but could only bury his admiration deeply in his heart.
From Li Fushou's perspective, these girls have been with him for four or five years, and the youngest is in his early twenties. It is impossible for them to have all taken over the house. The master's body can't stand it!
Therefore, it is inevitable to send off the marriage.
In this era, women followed their father and brother at home, and after selling themselves, they became their masters. They had no power to control themselves, just like vines attached to big trees. Destiny followed the flow.
If you meet a kind-hearted master, you can end up with a good end, otherwise you can only ask for more blessings.
These maids who have served by their side for five or six years have mateed their marriage to their confidants, and have solved the maids' lifelong affairs, with the best of both worlds.
Everyone sat down again and discussed some hot topics recently.
After a while
Taking advantage of Li Fushou's great joy, Beilun mayor Zhang Li took out the design blueprint of the Sydney Cross-Sea Bridge from his briefcase and presented it to Li Fushou for review with both hands.
The cross-sea bridge is really the top priority in the development of Beilun Town. From Pan Shoudao to Zhang Li, the heads of this one or two will never miss the opportunity to make suggestions as long as they have the opportunity.
Li Fushou just nodded and agreed. In just a few days, the blueprint of the cross-sea bridge has been presented there. The timing is very good. It is the opportunity for Li Fushou to chat with his confidant. I guess he has prepared for it.
Zhang Li is a very talented secretary. In his eyes, the only one who chased the target was Luo Qianjin, the mayor of Songjiang Town, and he was secretly competing.
See through and don't say it
Li Fushou knew and felt deeply relieved that these subordinates were urgently trying to develop the economy and competed for victory.
He took the design blueprint and took a closer look. This was no different from the Sydney later cross-sea bridge.
For decades
The design blueprint of Sydney's large iron bridge has been revised several times and has been placed on the desks of the Governor and the Governor of New South Wales. Under the conditions of the current construction level and productivity, the design of the large iron bridge is already very mature.
The concrete piers below and the single-hole steel truss structure above have very good bearing capacity.
The bridge is fixed by about 6 million rivets, with a maximum weight of 3.5 kilograms. The bridge tower and piers are 17,000 cubic meters of granite. The span of the bridge arch is 503 meters and the highest point is 134 meters away from the sea.
From a design perspective alone, the design blueprint is considered in every detail, and the construction party only needs to follow the map.
The entire Sydney Bridge bridge has a length of 1,149 meters (including the guide bridge), 58.5 meters from the sea surface to the bridge deck, and 134 meters from the sea surface to the top of the bridge. A 10,000-ton giant ship can pass under the bridge.
This is an extremely majestic landmark building. After completion, it will open a smooth connection between the two sides of the straits and become thoroughfares.
The design bridge deck is 49 meters wide and can be passed by carriages. A double-track railway is laid in the middle. The sidewalks on both sides are 3 meters wide. The design includes two railroad tracks, reflecting the most advanced design concept of the current era.
The railway and tram are all included, connecting the tram lines in Sydney to the north shore, which greatly facilitates people's travel and achieves seamless connection between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The following highlight is here; the project cost is expected to be 890,000 pounds, a slight increase from the initial plan.
This is not the entire cost of the final calculation of the project, it is just the budget cost. It is not uncommon for a large amount of the final calculation after the project is completed.
According to the annual tax level of more than 30,000 pounds per year in Beilun Town, it will take 30 years to use it without eating or drinking on the Bay Bridge project.
Such a major project can only be organized and implemented by Honghe Valley, and this major project related to the national economy and people's livelihood will be implemented in place, and all forces will be organized to overcome difficulties in construction, so that the natural barriers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will become thoroughfares.
In the design plan, Li Fushou discovered that Beilun Town had already come out to buy all the land near the bridge base on the Sydney side of the south coast of the strait, spending a total of £3,770, which is a very interesting detail.
This must be done by Pan Shoudao. Only he has the right to approve expenses of less than 5,000 pounds. The Beilun mayor Zhang Li's approval power is only 300 pounds.
This old guy, let me take action first and then report.
Li Fushou put down the blueprint in his hand and pondered without saying a word. Zhang Li waited nervously, as if he was facing a primary school student in a big exam.
"Well, I agree to this project in principle, and it also needs to be reviewed by the Budget Committee. You Beilun Town will send the design blueprint to me first, but the procedures are messed up!" Li Fushou said calmly.
When Zhang Li heard the Earl's words, he couldn't help but feel happy and forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart. "Please forgive me. Zhang Li hopes that the Sydney Straits Iron Bridge project can pass the review as soon as possible and start construction one day, so that we can do some practical things and live up to the master's high expectations of putting us in this important position, and also explain to Beilun Town."
Zhang Li used the title of Master, which is a private name for secretary and close people, rather than a Count in public.
"Haha... get up, no need to be polite. I understand your intention to be ambitious. It is worthy of praise." Li Fushou looked at Zhang Li and stood up, pointing at him and said with a smile. "But in the future, we have to follow the rules to apply for projects. This is only once, so I won't be the case. Look at Luo Qianjin, Wu Xuewen and the monkeys were all tempted, and they didn't know what they were planning? You Zhang Li can do this... They can of course be able to do it too. In the future, all major projects will be sent to me first, wouldn't it be a waste of the budget committee?"
Hearing this
Everyone laughed out loud. It was fake to say that he was not moved when he saw this scene just now, but it made Zhang Li blush and kept saying "forgive me" and "forgive me".
After continuing to chat for a while, Li Fushou left a group of confidants to have a meal at the Hubin Hotel, and they only dispersed after the meal.
Li Fushou had a routine activity for a while, and then went back to the study to handle official duties.
At this time, Dai Yingcai, the commander of the black-clothed guard who had always been mysterious, stood respectfully on the side. When he saw Li Fushou strode in, he immediately saluted; "Master, I have important things to report to my humble position."
"Yeah, let's talk."
Li Fushou walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down. On the desk in front of him was a confidential document... a report on the fleet and force configuration of the colonial government of the Dutch East Indies.
Li Fushou did not rush to read this important document, but instead turned his attention to Dai Yingcai.
Dai Yingcai said in a deep voice;
“According to the latest news received by Beiyi;
Queensland Governor Frank recently interacted with New South Wales Governor Ben Stevens, white hardliners behind the scenes Morgan McLaury, and Melbourne Mayor Jeff Bridgesdo. He kept secretly corresponded, intending to form an offensive and defensive alliance against the Red River Valley, with his intentions very vicious.
After careful deployment, the black-clothed guard recently intercepted the secret messenger between Sydney and Brisbane. I believe the master has heard of this person too much..."
"Oh, who is it?" Li Fushou asked with interest.
"It was Smith, the rancher who was hostile to the Red River Valley Ranch at the beginning. After torture, Smith confessed to the crime of hiring Billy's gangsters with the intention of not being good to the master. This is a long-hidden poisonous snake." Dai Yingcai bowed and answered.
"It turned out to be him!" Li Fushou suddenly realized.
This man once buried two large barrels of black gunpowder on the road to the Red River Valley, intending to blow up Li Fushou and his entourage to death. After the matter was exposed, he disappeared for 6 years, but was captured under this circumstance.
Thinking of the past
The farmer Smith's family suffered a late-night raid. None of the whole house survived. Only Smith stayed in Brisbane and did not return. He was spared. After the incident, the man died in the end of the world.
Since the above involvement is the same, hatred is irreconcilable, no wonder he is resentful and unswervingly wants to take revenge.
Fushou's slender fingers hit the desk and said, "This Smith is so brave that he dares to sneak into Brisbane. It can be seen that we still have a lot of omissions in control of this city. We will take it as a warning in the future."
"I will start doing this matter immediately." Dai Yingcai replied respectfully.
"Yeah." Li Fushou responded lightly, asking as if he felt something; "Aaron Johnson has been working for us for more than 4 years, right?"
"Yes, Master, it's been 4 years and 9 months to be precise. The news this time was also reported by Aaron Johnson. Only after we analyze the relevant news, we finally captured the secret messenger Smith and seized their secret plot."
“How many people are involved?”
"Frank is very cautious this time. He is involved in the plot with several white senior officials in the Autonomous Office and several gold mine owners. Eight people have been identified. No Chinese senior officials have been found to be involved. It is still to be further tried and received."
"Since that's the case, then take action quickly and send evidence of these people's corruption to the state prosecutor's office. As for those gold mine owners..." Speaking of this, a sharp look flashed in Li Fushou's eyes; "Which gold mine owner is not carrying a few lives on his hands, arrest the person first and torture him seriously, don't be afraid of the wide range of coverage. This time I want to give Frank a color to see who is the world of Queensland?"
"As for the order!"
Dai Yingcai took the order and left, and what followed would be a severe blow like a storm, completely clearing the unstable factors around Governor Frank, allowing him to see the reality clearly, and adopt a cooperative attitude obediently.
Li Fushou stood up and walked around the room twice.
He doesn't want to touch Governor Frank for the time being. He has only 10 months left in his full term. It seems that he is too ugly to defeat him at this time and has no tolerance for others.
Death crimes are spared, but living crimes are inevitable.
Only by making Frank feel heartbroken can this restless guy have a memory.
I can't say it, I have to feel wronged Aaron Johnson.
Thinking of this
Li Fushou decided to take detention and review measures against Aaron Johnson, and the two sides jointly performed a bitter plan.
Chapter completed!
