On the Seven Towers

Chen Hansheng knocked on the door of the vice principal's office. Guo Qian came over and shook his arm cordially.

"Old Chen, you have worked so hard. Just after the New Year, I asked you to go out for a run. You didn't let Karanda complain that we old men are unreasonable, right?"

"Chairman Guo, from what you said, do I seem like someone who can't control my wife? Besides, she is wild-minded and can't sit still like me. The two of us always find it refreshing to walk outside."

"Old Chen, I'm going to criticize you. Female comrades still need to be respected. They're not big tigers. How can you use the word surrender? Otherwise, if she comes to complain someday, I won't protect you." Guo Qian smiled. Invite him to sit down on the sofa.

"Haha, with her eyes closed, she can kill a tiger with her fingers. If she wants to lose her temper, why does she need to file a complaint?" Chen Hansheng patted the armrest of the sofa and laughed.

"You, Karanda, are also blessed. I will have a lot of fun with you." Guo Qian made him and himself a cup of tea each: "Didn't the previous meeting say that in the new year, our organizational structure will be better? Will it be formalized? When the Civil Affairs Bureau is established, I will give you the first 001 marriage certificate."

"That's because you want me to be a role model." Chen Hansheng took the teacup and said, "Of course it's my duty."

Guo Qian nodded and said: "To be honest, none of the people around you are more suitable than you. Lao Chen, you are a member of the committee and our top management. Kalanda is a local, an imperial citizen, and a civilian. It’s almost the first one to join us. The symbolism is very good.”

"Chairman Guo, you have the final say on these meanings. Anyway, for me, it's enough that I like her."

"Yes, yes, I am utilitarian." Guo Qian picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam with the lid, took a sip and said, "There is one more thing that the committee wants to discuss with you. There is good news from the capital, the kingdom A large area of ​​land has been allocated to us in accordance with the specifications of the Magic Tower. Most of the land is undeveloped land, but there are also some areas where there are residents.

The committee has held several seminars before, and most people's opinions are still to develop these lands mainly by building new towns, supplemented by existing villages and towns. The initial idea is to have a center with six radiating points, driving dozens of villages. The other five radiating points are all our new cities, but there is one exception, which is a town called Arano. This town is the only place that the south road leads to the earl territory. If you stay here, you can block the coming from the south. any intrusion. We estimate that the Earl should never have given us this town. But the king may have had the intention of provocation and just gave it to us. "

"Since you've eaten something like this, you can't spit it out, right?" Chen Hansheng said.

"Of course. Therefore, we need to arrange for a senior person who can take charge of his own affairs to be the first mayor there. When you were away a few days ago, everyone held a round of recommendations, and the voice for you to go was the highest. But said After all, you still have to seek the opinions of the parties involved.”

Chen Hansheng took a sip of tea and said: "Chairman Guo, you are all high-level intellectuals. If you trust me, a veteran with junior high school education, on such a major matter, you think highly of me. If I push back at this time, I will be disrespectful."

"Hey, Lao Chen, you can't say that. When you were the deputy team leader, everyone saw what contributions you made. When you get here, everyone is equal, don't talk about that!"

Chen Hansheng smiled and said, "Chairman Guo, what do I mean? Wherever the school wants me to go, I will definitely obey the order. But..."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me." Guo Qian said immediately.

"Well, I originally wanted to give Chairman Guo a report when I came back this time. We found ironware using modern technology in Suero. I checked for a week, and not only did I find pots and pans, but also We also found things like armor and swords. We looked for clues to find the source first, but the other party was very cunning and evacuated them completely without leaving any traces." Chen Hansheng took out a scrap of paper from his pocket. That was the corner of the exercise book, "We only found this in their warehouse."

Guo Qian put down the tea cup and took it over for a closer look with a solemn expression, "Is he really one of ours?"

"I quietly asked the people in the industrial group to find out. The local people do this differently and they won't make it like that."

"What do you think is the most likely possibility?"

"We cannot produce and sell this thing by ourselves. There must be cooperation from local people. I suspect that someone has leaked the technology in an organized way and secretly set up a factory with local people." Chen Hansheng disagreed. Consciously lowering his voice, "Chairman Guo, this matter may not seem big, but it is very serious in nature. In business, from the perspective of our business team, what attracts people to do this must be money. If They have established this business and found that the profit from selling our products is attractive enough. Today they are still selling swords, guns, swords and halberds, but tomorrow they may even sell air guns.”

Guo Qian pursed his lips and nodded slightly. He agreed: "What you said makes sense, but if you think about it a little more, the problem may be more serious. After all, political power comes from the barrel of a gun."

"You mean, they have bigger plans..."

"This is all just speculation. You originally wanted to continue investigating this matter yourself, right?"

"Yes!" Chen Hansheng slapped his thigh, "I didn't expect that when I came back, they actually transferred me out of the business group and pinned me to one place. It would not be easy to take the opportunity to run around."

"You said that when you were investigating, the other party responded quickly, right? What date did that happen?"

"It should be around January 10th. I saw the iron cup at the market in Suero that day." Chen Hansheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you suspect that someone in the school received the news, and then I was transferred?"

"That was October 15th. Now we are equipped with magic communication arrays one after another. If those people also have this, it is enough for them to send messages back."

"If it is a messenger, riding two horses can also get back in time."

Guo Qian pointed at him and said, "Old Chen, maybe you are going to touch someone else's cake, so you can take a rest. But the first person who proposed that you should be the mayor was the old man Li Mingde. He said that he and others jointly established an underground steel plant. I don't believe it. I guess you are being used as a gun."

"What should we do now?"

"Go to take up the post. If you don't leave, how can they settle down to start work? If they don't start work, how can they show their tails and be caught by us?" Guo Qian said.

Thanks to the book friend No. 26 Dice for the reward.
