Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 614 Maria’s path to politics
After releasing the wild wolves and wild boars, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, and after 30 wild boars ran into the forest, he simply rode a horse into the 3-acre super ranch.

With tits watching in the sky, Chu Xiangqian didn't worry at all that he would be discovered.

Go deep into banker Noel Rupp's ranch and release 15 hares from the novice village.

When they reached the sheep-raising area of ​​the pasture, they put the 12 foxes and 3 lynx that were spawned outside the Novice Village into the surrounding woods.

Although foxes and lynxes will eat hares, the more wild animals present, the less likely the cowboys at Rupp Ranch will suspect foul play.

Moreover, foxes and lynxes are also carnivores. After they appear in large numbers, the first thing Lupu Ranch will hunt are the wolves, foxes and lynxes that enter their ranch.

This would allow hares and wild boars to breed in stable pastures and in the surrounding mountains.

After doing this, I entered the novice village and cleared all other wild monsters and supplies, as well as all the orcs in the orc map.

Just brushing and brushing, Chu Xiangqian suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen many weed seeds in the forest outside Novice Village.

Plants such as flax leaves, horsetail grass, and dewgrass will either cause flatulence and poisoning when eaten by cattle, or they will rob the light and nutrients of the original grass in the pasture.

Even large and small ranches around Bakers County have seen large herds of wild boars descending from the mountains.

After 12 o'clock in the evening, the Novice Village was refreshed again, and all the wolves, foxes, lynxes, hares and wild boars were released, and the seeds were collected from the wolves, and finally the monsters were spawned.

Wild boars only need 5 months to give birth to one child, and two births in three years are no problem at all.

And there are basically more than three or five babies in a litter. Perhaps it will only take a year for this ranch to discover that there are hundreds of wild boars and countless hares in their pasture, which are constantly destroying the pasture of the pasture.

Chu Xiangqian naturally neither admitted nor denied, and even took Robert hunting in the pasture.

This was not the most troublesome thing. A large number of weed seeds that Chu Qianqian had casually planted in Lupu's pasture began to take root and sprout.

Or, they can’t even kill them all.

Now it was fun. I rode horseback all over the hilly areas of Novice Village and collected a total of more than ten kilograms of weeds and harmful weed seeds.

He even left the ranch and hid in the mountains.

In the past six months, Lupu Ranch has suffered not only from wolves, wild boars, and hares.

I searched around on horseback, and after seeing the plant I wanted, I used a gathering technique, and sure enough I collected a lot of seeds.

After staying around the Rupu Ranch for five days, we released 60 wolves and 75 wolves each, 15 hares, and lynxes.

As for wild boars, there are 150 of them.

Robert probably understood what Chu Xiangqian meant.

There was no need for Chu Xiangqian to ask Titmouse to check. Just in the mountains outside Lupu Ranch, Chu Xiangqian stood in a secret temporary camp halfway up the mountain. He could see that there were already cowboys in the ranch, riding horses, chasing, Shoot the wild wolves that enter the pasture.

In terms of threat, wolves do not cause as much damage to pastures as wild boars.

As long as they encounter a pack of wolves and can kill them, the cowboys will not let them go.

It may take several years to eradicate the wild boar and hare disasters.

The cowboys have long been accustomed to getting along with wild animals. If they see foxes or wild boars, they generally ignore them as long as they do not threaten the herd.

The banker, Mr. Noel Rupp, is no longer thinking about Chu Qianqian's pasture. His family's 3-acre pasture is now in dire straits.

After some wild wolves and wild boars are killed, others will naturally hide in pastures, areas that are basically free of human activity.

Large tracts of pasture are beginning to become unsuitable for grazing.

Moreover, during these five days and nights, Chu Qianqian would ride his horse into the Lupu pasture and sprinkle the weed seeds collected from the Novice Village on the pasture.

Think about it. After a month or two, a large number of weeds will appear in these places. If they are not eradicated in time, the pasture will be abandoned.

There are more than ten kilograms of weed seeds every day, let alone thousands. After five days, almost all the areas with lush pasture in Lupu Ranch have been visited by Chu Xiangqian.

But if you really offend me, you won't hesitate to take revenge.

Senator Robert Alessandro also made a point of visiting Chu Xiangqian when he returned to the ranch again, but the implication behind his words was obviously that he was asking whether Chu Xiangqian was responsible for the trouble at Lupu Ranch.

Needless to say, the reproduction rate of rabbits can multiply dozens of times in a few years if they are left alone.

Moreover, if some weeds are eaten into the stomachs of cattle and sheep, the cattle will start to have bloating and bulging stomachs.

Only then did he continue to farm monsters to earn experience with peace of mind, and collected materials such as fruit trees and minerals.

But the cowboys were busy shooting wild wolves and foxes with strong attacks, but they did not notice that wild boars and hares were already hiding and slowly multiplying.

If you don’t mess with me, I won’t worry about other people’s property.

It won't take three to five days, or even just one day, to kill people in pieces.

By the time wild boars and hares begin to overrun the pastures, the situation may already be very bad.

Stealing corn, wheat and other crops grown in pastures.

And even though Chu Xiangqian only stayed for five days, he had to return to his ranch to accompany Margaret.

These things seem to be found in the hilly areas to the west of Novice Village.

The trouble with ranches is that there are many areas that are not suitable for grazing. Even the cowboys on the ranch don't pay attention to them, and they won't even visit them once a year.

I had to leave the Magnesium Country again and returned to Hong Kong Island to hand over the 40 tons of grain bill of lading to Qian Guotai.

But he only needs to return to the ranch once in a month or two, and then ride back to the Rup Ranch, 160 kilometers away, and stay for another three to five days.

Seeing that Chu Qianqian's shooting skills were ridiculously good, whether he was hunting wild boars or foxes from a few hundred meters away, or quails that suddenly flew up in the grass ten or twenty meters away, he would always shoot one at a time.

In addition to the dozens of cult members killed by Chu Xiangqian last year, the intelligence was provided by Robert. In other words, Robert knew that Chu Xiangqian had a very powerful combat team.

Of course, Robert was eager for Chu Xiangqian to kill all the members of that sect.

Firstly, his daughter and son almost died at the hands of a few lunatics, and secondly, he was afraid that other lunatics from this sect would look for their family in the future.

One of the reasons why Robert came to see Chu Xiangqian this time was that he was afraid that if the two sides continued to quarrel, he would wake up one day and hear that banker Noel Rupp and his family had been killed.

Sometimes money does not mean power, and power does not mean force.

Rich people like Noel Rupp, who are deeply involved in California, do have a lot of connections in the political arena, but if the enemy is imminent and kills him directly, once Noel Rupp dies, there will basically be no Which politician would really avenge him.

Robert felt relieved when he saw that Chu Xiangqian's counterattack was not strong this time. However, he became more and more sure and approved of Chu Xiangqian.

Magnesians, especially those from the west, have always been particular about tit-for-tat personal heroism. If you are bullied and do not fight back, you will definitely be bullied even more.

Even the dregs eaten by the other party are gone.

"Chu, are you interested in attending the fundraising party held by the Donkey Party in Los Angeles at the end of the year?" Chu Xiangqian nodded without thinking. It was nothing more than the Donkey Party collecting protection money.

And California has always been the stronghold of the Donkey Party. You would be a fool not to vote for the Donkey Party.

But he had some scruples about letting him attend such a public gathering in person.

In the eyes of many white-skinned people, a Chinese-American super-rich man is a fat sheep.

So Chu Qianqian thought for a while and then shook his head, "Donating is no problem, but I will let Maria Tucker attend the fundraising party with me on behalf of the ranch."

Robert was stunned. He had come to the ranch quite often, so he naturally knew who Maria was.

He even knew that her relationship with Chu Xiangqian was definitely not simple, so Robert subconsciously asked, "Are you going to recommend Maria to join politics?"

This time it was Chu Qianqian's turn to be stunned for a few seconds, and then he suddenly felt that this idea was not impossible.

With her influence in the town, it can be said that it was easy for Maria to enter the political arena from the small town of Solvang.

It's hard to say how far she can go in the future, but if Maria becomes the mayor of a small town, it won't be difficult.

The small town power structure in Magnesia is very simple. There is an elected town mayor and development manager, also known as the town mayor's assistant, and then three or five committee members form a committee to discuss small and large affairs of the town on a regular basis.

Moreover, these people basically do not receive wages, which is equivalent to voluntary work, but in fact there are many hidden benefits.

The committee then hires administration, public affairs, community development, community services, talent and risk management, fire, police and other departments.

However, in some small towns, the police chiefs are also directly elected by the people. In other words, some police chiefs are not even the mayor.

If you want to push Maria to the top, you only need to win over the current mayor and other committee members in terms of interests.

Then help Margaery come up with a town development plan, and let the town residents see that she can really make money, and this matter will basically be no problem.

It is easier to win over the current mayor and other committee members. In the past, they could earn between US$10 and US$ per year, but now they can earn US$ by following Chu Xiangqian.

Even for $20, a fool knows how to choose.

And if state senators like Robert are willing to be Maria's guide and foreign aid, Maria's path in the political arena will be much easier in the future.

This is one of the reasons why most politicians in the country have relevant interest groups behind them.

To put it bluntly, regardless of personal ability, even in the election of a general, whoever raises more money will have a greater advantage.

Of course, among the politicians below, whoever has more money will get the upper hand.

Chu Qianqian looked at Robert with bright eyes, "Man, if I really recommend Maria to join politics, what will it cost?"

Robert frowned at first, but then he thought that the horse racing rider that Chu Xiangqian was looking for was also a woman, a woman from the Texas country. He secretly thought that it seemed reasonable for Chu Xiangqian to recommend Maria to join politics.

Moreover, women in politics are naturally weaker to a certain extent.

Not to mention the age difference between Maria and myself is nearly 30 years. And he is already a state senator.

As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, it can be said that there is no problem in continuing to sit in the position of senator until death.

Since it doesn't threaten you, why refuse?

Wanting to understand this, Robert said with a smile, "Prepare money, enough money, and it will be no problem even if Maria becomes a state legislator in three or five years."

Chu Xiangqian didn't have much doubt about Robert's words.

As a state with only two senators, it can be said that Robert's political status and influence in California are by no means small.

There are two types of members: Senate and House of Representatives, as well as Congress and state assembly.

To put it bluntly, the state representative is only in the initial stage of the entire state power structure.

As long as she has enough exposure, a reliable staff team and a lot of political backers or allies, it is indeed possible for Maria to become a California representative in three to five years.

Chu Xiangqian no longer had any thoughts of hunting, and chatted with Robert for more than two hours.

When Robert left, there was a $500 check donated to the Donkey Party and a small velvet bag containing more than a dozen soybean-sized diamonds in his pocket.

These days, the integrity restrictions on magistrate politicians are not strict, and diamonds are easier to hide than cash or gold.

It’s also easier to take action.

Find a trusted buyer and sell it, but the money is deposited in a bank in Switzerland or an offshore island. For at least the past 20 to 30 years, no one can find it.

No one will investigate this matter.

And this small bag of diamonds, worth at least 5 US dollars, got Robert's promise that when Maria actually enters politics, he will not only be her leader in the political arena, but will also publicly support Maria when necessary.

And when Robert returns to Los Angeles, he will find connections and let the prosecutor secretly investigate the current mayor of Solvang Town.

The only purpose is to force him to resign.

To a certain extent, this is several times lower than what Chu Xiangqian spent to win over the town mayor.

In other words, with the right person, sometimes it doesn’t cost much to get things done.

After seeing off Robert, Chu Qianqian returned to the ranch and saw Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng, Feifei, and Ehime pointing at the people working in the manor, preparing food and utensils for tonight's party.

And since Ehime is here, Sophia, who has a good relationship with her, is naturally indispensable.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care whether Sophia had finished her work for the day and let her play with Ehime.

I greeted my three daughters-in-law and saw that I didn’t need to help myself.

He simply rode to the ranch office area, found Maria who was working, and talked about what she had talked about with Robert before.

Maria's reaction was just as Chu Xiangqian expected. Although she was hesitant at first, she was worried that if she joined politics, no one would be able to take care of the ranch's affairs.

But Chu Xiangqian said that if you join politics, you can better protect the pasture and your property in the Magnesium Country, which immediately made Maria's heart flutter.

And after hearing Chu Xiangqian say that he was willing to spend 20 US dollars to promote himself as the mayor of the town.

Spending 200 million US dollars to promote herself to become a state representative within a few years, Maria was deeply moved.

At this moment, the ambition in this woman's heart suddenly burst out.

He stood up and walked to Chu Qianqian, sat on his lap, put his arms around his neck and smiled charmingly, "My dear, after I sit in the position of governor, we will play the game in my office."

Chu Qianqian was startled, and then rolled his eyes at Maria, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed quite exciting.

Nothing unexpected will happen next. We still don’t know the outcome of the future, but now, we must have a game first.
