Southern Star Sea.

This newly acquired land has been newly divided into administrative regions under the leadership of the central government of the empire, and more than ten star fields that were originally named Takira Province by the people of the Northern Hell have been renamed Qinyue Province by the imperial government.

The capital of the new Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region is located in the Mingyuan Star Field, the most economically developed area in the center of the province.

Since the Seven Elements Province was captured by the Huaxia Legion and immediately formally ceded to the Huaxia Empire in the armistice negotiations between the two empires, the division of power and the appointment of administrative officials in this newly acquired land has become a controversial problem at the top of the empire.

In this rich land, almost every star field has one or several kinds of rare mineral resources produced, and a large number of heavy industry manufacturing bases are distributed in it!

The various industrial manufacturing bases here are advanced in technology and complete in categories, which can produce almost all types of military equipment of the Northern Hell Empire, and the largest strategic energy reserve base in the empire is also located here! It has more than 20 star fields, and almost all of the planets inside are planets containing high-quality energy spar veins!

It stands to reason that such a piece of fat, as long as it is a slightly ambitious family and power, or an official and politician who is committed to accumulating political capital to climb up, will not be unthinking!

However, the strange thing is that when the Great Consul Council released the news and began to plan the formation of the administrative team of this new frontier, and asked the people below to consider the list of officials appointed to the Seven Provinces, there were very few applicants! Two weeks have passed, and only a third of the number of people scheduled has been confirmed!

The specific reasons are naturally well known to the senior management. This new frontier is next to a superpower, such as the Northern Hell Prisoners, who are extremely unfriendly to the Chinese Empire! There was such a beast crouching beside it. Maybe at some point they will rush over and devour people! It is no wonder that those officials with a bright future and the family forces behind them are hesitant.

Finding a job in such a newly acquired land. If you can survive your tenure without incident. That, of course, is a lot of political capital. But the people of the Northern Hell would never be willing to lose such a large piece of territory in vain! If in the past few years, the opponent's army suddenly hits, none of these officials will be able to escape!

Therefore, those who are really wealthy and powerful, and those who have powerful hands and eyes are not as enthusiastic as they imagined about the exercise of political power in this newly acquired land!

It can also be explained from this that the supreme governor of the Seven Provinces Special Administrative Region, who should have been absolutely short of positions, had no one to fight for anything, and he could only be forcibly assigned to Zhou Wenchang, who lost power in the political struggle.

Once during his tenure. If the war in the Southern Star Sea resumes, and the Huaxia Legion can't hold this territory and is recaptured by the Northern Hell Prisoners, then the fate of the imperial immigrants and officials in this territory can be imagined! And even if Zhou Wenchang can survive in the end, his political future will be completely over!

Xiao Junling understands that although the Northern Hell Empire has suffered a heavy setback, the foundation of the superpower is still strong, and when he recovers, he will inevitably report his revenge! With the current strength of the Chinese Empire. There is no guarantee that it will be completely defeated in the short term!

Therefore, the cruel contest between the two civilizations will inevitably be protracted, and without a hundred and eighty years of hard work, don't really want to distinguish the winner or loser!

But then again. If the Chinese Empire can really hold this rich land, then the corporate consortium and family power that entered in advance will inevitably receive extremely rich returns! The same goes for civilians and officials!

Therefore, after discussing with the family elders, Zhou Jiyuan decided to take a gamble! Invest a lot of his family's resources in it, helping Zhou Wenchang build a political legacy in the hope that he will be able to return to the center of power in five years.

So far, the planning has gone smoothly. It's just that the mainstream consortia of the private sector have never been enthusiastic about investing in this territory, and it is still a little powerless to really develop this place with the Zhou family and a few friendly forces.

Therefore, Yu Xin'er put forward such a huge investment plan, only the first phase of capital investment reached 300 billion energy points, and the total amount of funds in the entire plan exceeded one trillion!

It is conceivable that as long as this amount of funds can really be put in place, it will play a role in promoting the economic development of the seven provinces! And it can benefit countless civilian families here!

"Kid, we're going to land soon!"

In the large interstellar cruise ship, in the extremely luxurious first-class VIP cabin, An Xuanyi, who was dressed up and noble and elegant, looked at Xiao Junling, who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed, and said softly.

He opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful mother-in-law with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, delicate face, and a smile, and nodded lightly: "Okay then!" I'll be able to see my dad soon, but unfortunately they can't come now. ”

"It's okay, they can come back next time!" An Xuanyi laughed softly, her full and firm chest rising and falling slightly with her breathing.

Xiao Junling lowered her eyes quietly, no matter what, it was indeed rude to look at her mother-in-law in this way, although she was indeed very beautiful now, her snow skin was as delicate as jade, and she looked no different from the Zhou Meng sisters.

An Xuanyi pursed her lips and smiled, two shallow dimples appeared on her jade face, revealing a girlish playfulness and cuteness.

She reached out and picked up a snow dragon ice pattern fruit from the ruby table in front of her, peeled the peel herself, then cut it with a fruit knife, picked up half of it and brought it to her mouth and took a bite lightly, after trying the taste, handed it to him and said:

"This is a specialty of the family's territory, and the taste is not satisfactory, come and try it!"

Xiao Junling couldn't refuse, so he took it.

The silky and refreshing flavor is mixed with a sweet and fruity aroma, which is indescribably pleasant and refreshing.

"Very good indeed!" He spoke up.

An Xuanyi smiled: "Since you think it's good, then I'll send you more later!" Those two girls also like it, you can eat it together! ”

For this handsome young son-in-law, whose potential and luck are extremely amazing, and can be called the first person in the empire in hundreds of years, she likes it from the bottom of her heart. I was also secretly glad that I didn't interfere with Sister Zhou Meng's choice at the beginning, otherwise I would have lost his help, and now the situation facing the Zhou family would have become completely different! Recession is not enough. But it will be difficult to regain its prestige, at least for a long time!

At least for now. The rivals of the family have suffered at his hands more than once. Heavy losses! Under the advantages of this and the other, for the change of high-level power in a few years, the Zhou family's winning chance will undoubtedly be much greater.

In a short time, the interstellar cruise ship, escorted by many Zhou family warships, entered the star system where the provincial capital was located.

On the planet of the beautiful capital, a huge disk-shaped city in synchronous orbit is in sight. All sorts of spaceships are flying around like bees!

An enclosed luxury take-off and landing platform, which has been surrounded by a large number of heavily armed Adepts.

A few minutes later, the starship slowly landed on the platform. The hatch opened silently. A glittering silver liquid poured out of the hatch and condensed into a beautiful gangway in a matter of seconds.

Xiao Junling and An Xuanyi stepped out of the hatch and found a well-dressed, shrewd and capable middle-aged man already waiting below.

"Zhou Shangrong, it's you who came over," An Xuanyi greeted after seeing him. At the same time, he introduced Xiao Junling to Zhou Wenchang's confidential secretary and a member of the Zhou family.

Zhou Shangrong nodded respectfully and said, "Your Excellency the Governor is very happy to know that Mrs. Lu Dao and Uncle Lu are coming. That's why I was sent to greet me! ”

With that, he invited the two of them and the rest of his entourage into a welcome flying saucer. Then take off and head towards the Governor's Mansion on the planet's surface.

“…… His Excellency the Governor has been in good health recently, but because of some problems in official business, he is under a lot of pressure! On the flying saucer, Zhou Shangrong said to An Xuanyi.

"Are the consortia giving him a problem again?" She clearly knew what was going on, and her face was a little displeased.

"Isn't it? In order to attract investment, those guys have to inch in, and obviously all kinds of policy treatment are already very favorable! But they weren't satisfied! Zhou Shangrong was also a little angry when he mentioned this.

"Humph! If it really doesn't work, let them go, aren't we praying for their charity, without their investment, can't these seven provinces develop? An Xuanyi hated the authentic language.

Zhou Shangrong sighed secretly and didn't say anything more.

Of course, he understood how annoying the insatiable greed of those guys was, but there was indeed a huge funding gap in the economic development plan of the Seven Provinces at present, and the central government was busy with the war against the Grosjavi Empire, and military spending was soaring, so there was really not much surplus money to support it.

The flying saucer landed on the square at the entrance of the governor's mansion, and Zhou Shangrong led them all the way into the door unimpeded, and came to Zhou Wenchang's office area with ease.

As soon as he walked to the door, with Xiao Junling's keen perception, he heard a fierce argument coming from inside.

“…… Your Excellency the Governor, if you are not sincere enough, then there is no need for our talks to continue! It's all up to you! "It's a high-pitched, high-pitched female voice.

Zhou Wenchang's voice is not high, with the usual calmness and steady:

"Ms. Song, the policy treatment we gave is already very favorable! It should be said that your conditions are too harsh, and the tax exemption period in the agreement, the wages and benefits of employees, and the regulations on environmental protection are all determined according to the relevant laws of the empire, and no corporate consortium can shirk such social obligations! So we really can't agree to your excessive requests! ”

The female voice said disdainfully: "The Seven Elements Province is a new land, and the most important thing at present is to develop the economy, and it is only natural that the central government will collect less taxes!" As for those poor mud legs, they just have something to eat, what do they do with such good treatment? There is no need to invest in environmental protection! ”

Zhou Wenchang said patiently: "Ms. Song, this is your mistake!" The Seven Provinces are now the legitimate territory of the Empire, all the laws of the Empire are fully applicable here, and all immigrants should also enjoy uncompromising national treatment! Your actions are not recognized by the laws of the Empire! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor!" The woman's voice was a little higher,

"Don't forget, how big our investment plan is! That's hundreds of billions of energy points, hundreds of billions! Got it? Our Song family took out such a large amount of money to help you Zhou Wenchang improve his political performance and pave the way for your career! If you don't even want to give such a small benefit, then what else is there to talk about between us? ”

"I'm telling you, agree to our request, and then let your daughter marry Zhaoyang, and the funds you need will be in place soon, otherwise you will wait for us to withdraw your investment!"

Xiao Junling's eyes outside froze, and a cold glow appeared.

No matter how good Ren is Zhou Wenchang's cultivation, he can't help but feel a little angry:

"Ms. Song! You must understand that this is the territory of the Empire, I am an official of the Empire, and my words and deeds must follow the terms of the laws of the Empire! While it's true that your investment plan is not small, it must also be done within the rules of the game! ”

"No matter who it is, there is no right to break the rules! And as a person, I don't need to beg for anything! If you are trying to make things difficult, then this investment plan is not to be discussed! ”

The woman sneered, "Don't agree? So you, the Governor, are you going to do it anymore? I've heard that in a few years' time, those people will definitely step you down! Without these achievements, I see what your Zhou family will do to fight them! (To be continued......)
