Chapter 2503
"Hongfang, you visited Haikou and Danzhou a few days ago, did you have any insights?"

Tao Donglai was not eager to get to the point right away, but first asked Tao Hongfang about his recent work status.The Ministry of Commerce has official investment industries in various places, and will occasionally send senior officials to inspect the local business conditions. The errand that Tao Hongfang went to run a few days ago is of this nature.

Tao Hongfang responded respectfully: "My child thinks that the industries of these two cities have their own characteristics. Haikou is close to the mainland, and most businessmen coming from the mainland will choose Haikou as their first destination. Danzhou is mainly based on culture and education. Famous, the number of colleges is second to none in our country, and it cannot be imitated elsewhere. Therefore, if a region wants to develop well, or occupy a unique geographical advantage, or have a unique industrial form, it must be at least one of the two.”

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Although it is not comprehensive, it is basically accurate. Then do you think, if you were sent to these two cities to govern, would you be able to manage the current situation?"

Tao Hongfang said: "Mayor Zhang and Mayor Ma are both powerful people, and my child dare not compare them."

Tao Donglai said: "Actually, these two cities already possessed the two characteristics you just mentioned during the reign of the Ming Dynasty. After we took over these areas, what we did was to scale up these conditions on this basis. Industrialization, thereby driving the local economy. I don’t think you don’t understand the reason for this, it’s just that you lack confidence in your own abilities.”

"You have to know that when Zhang Xin and Maiko were appointed to be magistrates, they were only a few years older than you. And before that, neither of them had any experience as magistrates. At that time, the environmental conditions you are facing now are many times better.”

Tao Hongfang raised his head when he heard the words, looked at Tao Donglai and said, "Father wants to send the child a job as a magistrate?"

Tao Donglai shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that time yet. Before that, I hope you can go to the outside world more to increase your knowledge and understand the current real situation of the country.

"Father means... to go to a place other than Hainan Island?" Tao Hongfang couldn't help showing a hint of excitement in his tone.

Tao Donglai nodded and said, "I plan to let you go to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It is the future capital of the country, and there are many places worth visiting."

"Hangzhou?" Tao Hongfang couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this destination.

He originally thought that his father would arrange for him to go step by step, and go to a place not too far away from Hainan Island first.For example, Annan Da Nang, a colonial area under the rule of Hai Han, or a place like Hong Kong, whose environment is similar to Sanya, did not expect Tao Donglai to plan to send him to the distant Hangzhou.

Although Tao Hongfang has never been to Hangzhou, he knows roughly how far Hangzhou is from Sanya.The Ministry of Commerce has official ships that depart from Shengli Port from time to time, pass through Hong Kong, Penghu, Zhoushan and other ports, and end in Hangzhou. The entire sea voyage exceeds [-] miles, and it takes half a month to reach the end.

Although Tao Hongfang felt that his wings were full, he still couldn't help feeling uneasy when he suddenly learned that he was going to a place so far away from home.

"What? Are you scared?" Tao Donglai keenly caught the subtle changes in his son's expression and asked jokingly.

Tao Hongfang replied: "That's not true, it's just that the child feels a little guilty when he thinks that he will no longer be able to perform his filial piety in front of his parents after leaving."

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "Filial piety is commendable, but you don't have to worry, we are not unattended here. Besides, although the place is a bit far away, in a few years, the institutions in Sanya will move there one after another, and our family will also I will move there, but when you get there, you can go and see if there is a good place to buy and build a new house."

In fact, this kind of thing does not require the Tao family to take the trouble to make arrangements. With Shi Diwen as a person, he will definitely make preparations in advance. At that time, he will take the initiative to let Tao Hongfang choose a place to arrange. Build a new house.

Tao Dong finished his gossip, put away his smile, and then got to the point: "Shi Diwen is currently presiding over the affairs in Hangzhou. Of course, his loyalty to the country is beyond doubt, but he has too many things to take care of. The land is too large, and it may not be possible to take care of everything. I am not worried about other things, but the projects related to the capital relocation are related to the national destiny, and there must be reliable supervision measures."

When Tao Hongfang heard this, he asked, "Isn't the Ministry of Security responsible for the secret supervision?"

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "The Ministry of Security is responsible, of course there will be corresponding arrangements. However, the local environment is complicated, and some information levels are difficult for the Ministry of Security to access. But your identity is different. You can Participate in various engineering projects openly and openly investigate what you think is a problem.”

"But if there is a real problem over there, wouldn't you startle the snake after the baby goes?" Tao Hongfang asked puzzled.

"If some snakes are really scared away, that's a good result." Tao Donglai continued: "The purpose of your visit is not to eliminate all non-compliance practices, but to avoid hidden dangers that will affect the future operation of the capital. .”

Tao Hongfang still half-understood, which was beyond the scope of his work in the Ministry of Commerce in the past few years.

"...These hidden dangers may appear in construction projects, or they may be conflicts of interest between the government and local people, or they may appear within the government. I don't need you to start to solve these problems, but you can write a report and send it return."

Tao Donglai opened the desk drawer, took out an envelope from it, and put it on the table: "Here is a list, you can go to these people for help if necessary. They are not officials of any department, and there is no way for them to You provide a personal army, but if you want to ask for information, or seek some special contacts, these people should be able to help."

Tao Hongfang couldn't believe that his father had such an arrangement thousands of miles away, and hesitantly asked, "Are these people reliable?"

Tao Donglai said in a deep voice: "The most fickle thing in this world is the human heart, especially when faced with huge interests or threats. The people on the list are not reliable, you have to judge for yourself."

Tao Hongfang respectfully responded, and then reached out to take the envelope.

Tao Donglai continued: "I will ask Schneider to arrange an official job for you. You can think about what to do when you get there."

Tao Hongfang couldn't help asking: "Then, is the child going to perform this task alone?"

Tao Donglai asked back, "Who else do you want to go with you?"

"My child is just asking, and has no other intentions." Tao Hongfang hastily bowed in response.
