As for Victoria's past, Xia Feng never regarded it as something to show off, because for him, that past was equally heavy.

If no one asks, he will never say.

At the same time, just as to prove that he will not be bound by heavy memories, he will not deliberately hide it in the face of people he trusts.

There is no doubt that Zhou Liang has a certain degree of trust from him, so he can speak.

Those two shadow guards sent by the Yan Mainland, although he couldn't trust them, he didn't care about them at all, this kind of thing was not a secret to people at the peak of power.

......

The smell of spring is getting stronger and stronger, the temperature is starting to warm up, and every inch of land is full of life.

Like bagpipes, the people of Yandong began to plant seedlings, and this year should be the best harvest in their lives so far.

Under the management of Xigong Pinglong, the Yandong Guard General Bureau carried out a round of public security rectification of the entire region.

Exiled samurai, bandits in the mountains, village bullies, homeless homeless people, all the destabilizing factors that could constitute a crime were effectively managed.

Now Yandong has perfect laws, as well as political and legal institutions to deal with all kinds of criminals, and correspondingly, punishment facilities such as detention centers and prisons have also been established.

The public security problem in Yandong has been effectively controlled.

.....

As time passed, Minister Liang's grave grass grew higher and higher.

Regarding the "unfortunate killing" of Comrade Liang Zheng, Xia Feng reported it to the General Internal Affairs Institute of Yanguo, however, the General Internal Affairs Yuan did not inquire too much about it, and only responded to him with four words and handled it properly.

In addition, he did not even ask about the new minister, and it seems that smart people know about it.

As he thought, Yanguo's supervision of the regional governor is not strict, at least not strict with him, the rule is that the dead are alive, and some things are just on the surface.

The Governor only needs to do superficial work, and the General Ministry of Internal Affairs only wants to see superficial work, and as for the interior, it can only be said that everyone understands it.

The world is inherently unfair, and it can never be absolutely fair, the difference is only in which end of the scale you are in.

.....

With the spring breeze blowing across the land, the dispute between Dongzhou and Xichuan has become history, and the former rule of the Nishinomiya family and the Sakura samurai family has gradually been forgotten.

As far as the eye can see, Yandong is like a peaceful and prosperous era, but it is far from enough for the supreme power holder of this land.

In Xia Feng's complete plan, what has been completed now is nothing more than a "beginner's tutorial".

First of all, if Yandong wants to develop further, it will face several serious problems.

First, the lack of population and productivity.

According to the census of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Yandong, the total population of the whole territory of Yandong is about 6 million.

Excluding children and the elderly, the effective labor force is only about 7 percent, which is a pitiful small number of people.

Second, there is a serious shortage of productivity.

Because of the backwardness of science and technology and communications, the productivity of various industries in Yandong can be said to be unbearable to look at directly, to put it bluntly, it is to spend the greatest effort to obtain the least return.

For example, in a family with old and young, the couple gets up early and is greedy for darkness, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, and can only provide the diet of the family.

But if you put it in Victoria, the ratio is completely upside down.

Far from it, take the bagpipes who live with him on the south coast, for example, she boasted that she would support the entire sandworm breeding base by herself.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it also proves the huge gap in productivity.

The same husband and wife are farming, Yandong and his wife can only feed the family, while Victoria's farmers can supply most of the town's food needs.

In addition to farming, this is the case in all walks of life in Yandong, which is the difference in productivity brought about by Yuanshi technology, production technology, and efficient communication.

.....

Xia Feng had done his research, and Yandong's natural resources were not as scarce as he had imagined.

Especially in the Dongzhou region, there are many relatively large mining areas in the mountain range, containing several more precious ores.

In addition, there is also a "golden mountain" in the Xichuan area that was split by his sword.

At the beginning, he and Ying Wulan fought a decisive battle in the natural disaster, and in the end, he absorbed all the source stone energy in the entire natural disaster area, and chopped the bones of Ying Wulan with one sword.

In that battle, not only Sakura Wulan cracked, but even the entire land was split into an abyss that stretched for several kilometers.

.....

In the aftermath, the nearby villages and civilians all fled, and it was not possible to determine what had happened, and he himself did not give a detailed explanation for this.

At present, the mainstream theory is that the natural disaster caused a strong earthquake in the Nishikawa area, which caused the land to subside.

After some time, the Yandong Special Zone was established, and the staff of the Yandong Resources Department conducted a round of investigation of all the natural resources in the territory.

When the investigators came to the vicinity of the cracked earth, they were surprised to find that under the crack was a huge iron ore vein.

As for how huge this iron ore is, it is impossible to find out with the technical means of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Yandong.

According to a rough estimate, with Yandong's mining capacity, it should not be able to be mined until death.

.....

Governor's Palace, inside the Governor's Office.

Xia Feng sat at his desk, staring at the many reports on production and construction on the desktop, and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that Yandong is rich in exploitable resources, but at this stage, Yandong does not have the ability to vigorously develop.

For example, in the fishing industry, Yandong does not have a large-scale fishing fleet, so it can only catch a limited number of fish with the uneven fishing boats of coastal fishermen.

Another example is the mining industry, Yandong does not have large-scale excavation equipment, and lacks relevant technology, to put it bluntly, this mine can only mine a surface, if you dig deeper, you may not know which one will dig and collapse.

Others, such as manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, etc., are also facing the same problem.

It's like if you want to eat barbecue, and now you have meat and spices, but you don't have a fire.

You don't have the tools to make a fire, and you don't have the skills to make a fire at all.

.....

What Yandong lacks now is "a fire", but with the importance that Yanguo attaches to the Yandong Special Economic Zone, he will not provide assistance at all.

The only thing that the high-level officials of the Yan Kingdom want is the source stone, and other than that, they don't care about anything else, as long as the governor can ensure that the jurisdiction can maintain the level of starvation.

Therefore, the Yan domestic mainland cannot be counted on.

Sorting out the materials on the desk back into the drawer, Xia Feng leaned back in his chair and exhaled heavily.

He will not be satisfied with the status quo, if he wants to play, he will play a big game.

In his plan, Yandong must become the second dragon gate, and it will be achieved in a short period of time, or even surpassed in an all-round way.

....

At present, there is only one way to get "fire".

It's better to rely on heaven and earth, than on yourself, cough, and his allies, as well as his "wife".
