Wang Qi followed the excavation progress of the ruins, coordinated with various departments, and left it alone. There were other matters waiting to be dealt with.
Before getting back on the plane, Wang Qi promised the locals to coordinate with the City of White Veil to arrange flights for them. This matter was also arranged diplomatically during the ministerial meeting on the first day after returning, with the army providing some escort.
By this point in time, the relevant arrangements were in place, but there was another problem - the leakage of guns.
At that time, someone in the group who wanted to hitch a ride had a gun. These things should not be in the hands of non-lord forces.
Of course, when he first decided to export firearms, he did not count on the integrity and management capabilities of the lords and large landowners. The current situation is not too unexpected. Therefore, Wang Qi did not deal with the problem immediately after discovering it.
Over the past month, Wang Qi has occasionally thought about how to do it, and arranged to hire private companies to conduct overseas investigations.
More than half a month passed, and the investigation information was gradually completed and sent to Wang Qi, and a decision was made.
In nine of the fourteen cities where gun purchases were investigated, investigators used informants to buy firearms from the black market within three days; another three were more cautious and could confirm that there was a gun transaction but no purchase was made; and only two No news at all.
The files from the Ministry of Trade were also called here, and they also showed a similar pattern. The cities where it is easier to buy guns have more reported losses.
According to the previous version of "Sales Methods", gun sales are arranged based on the total local population. The queuing period does not count. During the non-queuing period, a single city can only purchase guns of 1% of the total population at most, which is 20 A city with a population of 10,000 can only have 2,000 guns.
When being attacked by demons in large numbers, it is difficult to form a resistant line of defense with only 1% of the gun holding ratio. However, the kingdom needs to consider that each family can obtain a certain amount of weapons to suppress the low-level demons in the exile. daily diffusion capabilities, coupled with production capacity constraints, will tend to favor a more decentralized sales strategy.
Reporting losses is a way to exceed the 1% limit in various places, and if you can come up with a legitimate reason, if you have really fought against the demons, you will also have certain preferential treatment in queuing.
The relevant departments knew that there was something fishy about it, but they did not pay attention to it.
The situation existed before Wang Qi went on a trip. At that time, Wang Qi no longer cared much about trivial matters, but if he had to blame Lai Wen and related units for problems with their work ability, that would not be the case.
The transformation of the crowd's understanding from "I am a humble person" to "I am very valuable" cannot be completed in one generation, not to mention that the objective environment after coming to the penal colony was not calm.
In the superimposed magic world, there is a group of professionals who are superior to others. If one more weapon is spread, it will not kill a few more people. On the contrary, it can form a certain deterrent effect on the group of professionals, so naturally it will not attract attention.
In short, there is no point in pursuing the past, but Wang Qi has to make trouble after knowing this situation.
The main reason for this is that he believes that "the lords have taken the benefits and do not work, so you should not take the benefits."
The original sales plan focused on the governance of the lords, trying to maintain the current stability while enhancing the resistance of various regions to the invasion of demons. An army of lords holding rifles can be better compatible with different levels of strength. Professionals formed a more adaptable armed force and suppressed disobedient large households and criminal gangs in the territory.
Since the lords are ungrateful and think that the price difference of weapons is more important than governance, then don't do it.
From the strategic perspective of the Phoenix Kingdom, a city that cannot stop the demons will become a nutritional supply station when faced with the demons' swarm operations. It is useless to keep it. It will lose some of the unarmed people in the city, and it will also lose some of the unarmed people in the city. It can have the effect of strengthening the wall and clearing the field.
Now that we have the general direction, we still need to be more detailed when actually doing things.
First of all, we need to identify the areas with governance capabilities.
This article takes into account the limited number of new people the Kingdom can admit each year, which involves many factors such as construction, education, and people's livelihood security. Once a large number of people flee due to deteriorating security in many areas, more destinations will be needed to accommodate them.
Cultivating some larger cities will also help those lords with high governance capabilities to play a greater strategic role.
This survey work is still entrusted to private enterprises.
The Kingdom has not developed a specialized foreign-related intelligence department, and there are three types of enterprises that can be entrusted with foreign-related investigation work: security, intermediaries, and cross-border logistics.
The previous investigation work was done by intermediaries. If they want to do well, they must have good relations with both the local black and white industries. Cross-border intermediaries are generally labor intermediaries, and their customers are very diverse and easy to contact. to black market information.
Entering the formal stage, it is necessary to further investigate the small circles of professionals in various regions. Some small circles will be more secretive than the general black market information, so it would be more appropriate for security companies to join them.
Cross-border logistics is only suitable for investigating explicit information, and is more entrusted by the Social Investigation Agency.
Through a special commissioned survey, the lords were roughly divided into three categories: high governance ability, temporary disregard, and priority goals.
The source of distinguishing the latter two still depends on the production capacity of export-type firearms. The total population of each production category in the Kingdom is relatively tight, and production capacity cannot be expanded without limit. Wang Qi does not want the people in the target area to gradually adapt to the proliferation of guns over a long period of time, so he must focus on the target and suddenly raise the safety fears of the people in the target area to the top, in order to truly achieve the purpose of population transfer.
The specific population transfer also involves the financial status of the people. This part requires the cooperation of the civil aviation department and some air ticket subsidies. For those who move within the floating island, the "Ganlin" disaster relief plan will provide a certain amount of toll subsidies.
The differentiation index is customized by Wang Qi.
First, the degree of threat that leaked guns pose to ordinary people. For example, if more guns go to local gangsters, big points will be deducted.
Second, the participation of the lord himself. If his subordinates hide the truth from their superiors and bully their subordinates, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the lord. This happens more often because most lords are professionals with strong personal abilities and do not care about the little tricks of their subordinates; they must also take the initiative to participate. Second-hand gun trading is also the first priority to be targeted.
3. Comprehensive population change rate.
Population is the most important indicator for Wang Qi.
Without culture, one generation can turn over by relying on systematic education, and two generations will undergo qualitative changes; but if the external population is reduced to a certain extent, there will not be enough market to maintain the kingdom's own production vitality. As a result, the equipment level will approach Stagnation.
Investigating the population change rate in each lord's territory is to examine the overall survival situation and calculate the reasons for the outflow of guns. Its impact on the actual population increase or decrease is not necessarily greater than the persecution of local gangsters, food cultivation and transportation bottlenecks, etc.
This is a long-term investigation to determine the order of subsequent rankings. In the first round of diffusion, only the first two indicators will be considered.
The investigation cannot be completed instantly. During the waiting period, let the Ministry of Trade limit the number of rifle exports and stockpile some goods.
Although the export sales of magic firearms are contracted to private companies, they do not have the right to sell them. Every order needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Trade, and this Ministry of Trade is also a new department composed of personnel transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and the Border Agency. Gemstone It was built before the decentralization of technology.
There is nothing confidential about the work of the Ministry of Trade. Wang Qi nodded and agreed that the Ministry of Trade should directly explain the reasons to the relevant manufacturers.
The news that "the king is going to take action against certain lords" will almost certainly be widely spread. It would be a good thing if some people can shrink their hands and feet. Anyway, the first batch cannot take care of so many places.
While Wang Qi himself was waiting, he hung out with the military headquarters for a few days, watching the friction between the army and the demons.
