After the immigration was handled, John took the Morgan 1 to West Virginia that afternoon, and Audrey Hepburn stayed at the border, and she had sent volunteers without borders to procure food, medicine and clothing, and prepare to receive the migrants with the government.

When Morgan 1 arrived in West Virginia, it was already dark, and West Virginia Governor Philie DeHaan came with several officials to meet the plane, and after greeting each other, they did not stay at the airport for long, and went to the state government together.

"Boss, I've already arranged dinner, do you want to eat first?"

"No, I've already eaten it on the plane!"

John waved his hand, and he ate a steak with Dani on the plane.

"Oh, good!" said Phiri DeHaan, a little disappointed. John finally came to West Virginia and didn't even eat.

John didn't care if Phiri DeHaan was disappointed or not, and he didn't think about it at all, he let the officials sit down and looked around slowly. "I looked at your economy in the second quarter, the growth was very slow, the number of poor people in all states was the highest, especially the rural poor were as high as 43%, and the per capita income was more than $20,000, which is very uncomfortable. ”

Many officials were silent when they heard John's words, and the atmosphere at the scene became very awkward.

"I know that you are indeed very difficult to develop because of policy and geographical constraints, so I am not here today to find trouble with anyone or hold anyone responsible, but I just want to discuss with you how West Virginia should develop, how to get out of the predicament, find a way of its own, and catch up with the sister states at the dawn of the new century. ”

West Virginia is a mountainous region, very similar to Yunnan-Guizhou in China, where agriculture is difficult to develop in rugged terrain, and it is basically self-produced and sold, with little economic benefit.

Industry, because of the bad location, factories are reluctant to come, and West Virginia has many states with good locations next door, so factories are basically attracted to other states, and the industry is not developed.

As for the resources, they are very rich, with a lot of oil, natural gas, coal, salt, and forests, but these are all reserve resources, and exploitation is restricted, so it is equal to nothing.

"If West Virginia wants to develop, it must adjust its economic structure, and you can't win against other people's Virginia in industry, so don't use your weakness to compete with others, this is looking for abuse. Energy, as a national reserve area, can't be moved, so don't bother with this idea. ”

West Virginia is rich in resources, but why is it restricted? Because West Virginia is mountainous, rugged, and covered by many forests, it is a national wartime command center, and in order to avoid the Soviet Union's nuclear bombs during the Cold War, the government has built many huge anti-nuclear underground military bases in the mountains of West Virginia, which are equipped with a complete air filtration and exchange system, 30 years of food rations, and a large number of military equipment and weapons, which can meet the needs of tens of thousands of people.

So here is the national reserve, resources are restricted from exploitation, a country always has to have some foresight, such military bases are available in every country, but the United States chose West Virginia, so for the sake of national interests, it can only be wronged by the local government.

"Since industry and agriculture are not good, then develop and vigorously develop tourism, West Virginia has many forest parks, clear air and beautiful environment, rich tourism resources, such rich resources are not a pity, but also can be combined with tourism and culture, drive other industries in the state.

I'm taking the lead in building a hotel here in Xinfjord River Park, building a few cultural tourism blocks, and liaising with Lucasfilm, Marvel, DC, Disney, several major domestic publishing houses, and game companies, holding a week-long anime and game culture exhibition here every year, and helping you organize a North American fondant cake festival to help you attract popularity and increase visibility through these cultural activities.

When you arrive, you will do a good job of relevant services and supporting facilities, especially public security. ”

"Okay boss!"

Governor Philie DeHaan smiled when he heard John take the lead in helping West Virginia develop tourism.

"Of course, tourism cannot completely solve the problem of poverty in West Virginia, and the main reason for poverty in West Virginia is that farmers' incomes are too low. So I'm officially classifying West Virginia as an industrial hemp state, allowing farmers here to grow industrial hemp, and West Virginia to develop industrial hemp-related industries. ”

Hemp is divided into industrial hemp and drug marijuana, industrial hemp is a hemp with a THC content of less than 0.3%, this kind of hemp has extremely high economic benefits, all are treasures, can be used in textiles, clothing, papermaking, military supplies, chemicals, new building materials, bioenergy, food and health care, medicine and feed, etc. In particular, CBD extract has a wide range of medical uses, for anxiety, insomnia, pain relief, Epilepsy and other neurological diseases have good effects, and the price of extract CBD is more than gold, a kilogram of market can be sold for about seven or eight thousand dollars, generally 7 kilograms of industrial hemp raw materials can extract a kilogram of CBD, farmers plant this thing, an acre can produce about 300 kilograms, 15 dollars per kilogram, deducting the cost of net profit per kilogram of about 5 dollars, West Virginia farmers have more than 100 acres of land, less than 50 or 60 acres.

This means that if you grow marijuana, even if you have little land, you can earn more than $90,000 a year. This is only outdoor cultivation, one season a year, if it is indoors, you can charge several more times, CBD is also higher than outdoor cultivation, and the price is more valuable.

"Farmers and enterprises participated, and the government supervised the research and development of seeds, and resolutely cracked down on the cultivation of narcotic marijuana. Cannabis seeds planted by farmers must be uniformly distributed by the government, and it is resolutely forbidden to keep seeds for private use and cultivate their own seeds, and once it is found that the planting qualifications will be banned, and if the cannabidiol content of the planted cannabis is higher than 0.8%, it will be transferred to the judicial authorities for criminal responsibility. ”

Government breeding, John did this to prevent people from growing drugs and marijuana, and the second is to let the local government have an extra financial revenue, government breeding, farmers need to spend money to buy, so that the government can also make a little money to subsidize some finance.

West Virginia officials wept with joy after hearing that marijuana can be grown legally, the industrial hemp industry is done well, not only farmers have money, but many companies will also come to West Virginia to invest, this is an industry that benefits both workers and farmers, if you add tourism, West Virginia's economy will definitely embark on a path of rapid development.
