Chapter 1137: The Unconceived Path
For the Victorian Empire, the problem of infected people in the country was an eternal "hidden danger".
Although this hidden danger seems to be very small now, there is no difference between infected people and normal people, who should go to work, go to school, eat, drink, and have a lot of citizen welfare.
But that dark age is still as good as it was yesterday.
....
Decades ago, the successor to the king, Wilansen, issued Victoria's decision to admit the infected.
From an objective point of view, this decision is undoubtedly wise.
As long as the dominance of the royal family is not threatened, then coexistence is the best option, not expulsion and ostracism.
Because no one can guarantee that a country will always be strong.
If, one day in the future, the country's power declines, or there is great upheaval, then the oppression that has accumulated before will explode.
...
After King Wilansen succeeded to the throne, Victoria began to accept infected people, a tradition that continued for decades.
The empire established concentrations of infected people in each city, restricting the movement of infected people to ensure that there would be no large-scale contagion events.
At the same time, it is precisely because the empire accepts a large number of infected people that Victoria has a large number of cheap labor, and the national power will rise so rapidly.
To outsiders, this coexistence of ordinary people and infected people seems to have reached a delicate balance.
For ordinary people, although there are hidden dangers, cheap labor is too fragrant.
For the infected, although there is oppression and discrimination, they can always have food and clothing.
In this way, Victoria has been developing.
However, the hypocritical peace will not last long, and the tofu scum project will not be able to withstand the earthquake after all.
Because of the shortcomings of the monarchy, after King Wilanson died of illness, the successor Princess Verin issued a public notice and sentenced the infected to death.
At this point, the Dark Ages broke out.
.....
Today, it is no longer nutritious to objectively discuss who is right and who is wrong, and now that Vina is the king, Vena is right.
Vina advocated equality, not only for the infected and for ordinary people, but also for ordinary people and nobles, so the nobility disappeared.
Under this strategic approach, almost all citizens have enjoyed the benefits, and there is no longer any objection to peaceful coexistence with infected people.
However, citizens are acquiesced and supportive, but the Empire's top brass can't just fool around, and as a management team that controls the direction of a country, they need to be able to prevent problems before they happen.
This "affliction" refers to the millions of infected people in the country.
Over the past year or so, the National Assembly has enacted a number of policies to stabilize the number of infected people and achieve the effect of preventing the disease.
One of the biggest is the official announcement of the death of "Xia Feng".
But later, this death turned into an oolong incident, and the king personally announced that "Xia Feng" was not dead.
For the Empire, the infected people in the territory of the country who seem harmless to humans and animals seem to be a little awkward again.
.....
.....
Things have developed to this point, and a path that has never been conceived before appears.
Not only did Xia Feng himself never think of it, but even the top echelons of the empire and the members of the National Council had only thought of it recently.
That is, to separate the infected group from the ordinary people without hurting the personal feelings of the infected person, and to transfer the infected person out of the country, but still stay in the "homeland" of Victoria.
The significance of the Yandong Colonial Area suddenly became greater.
.....
Inside the conference hall.
All the councillors looked at Xia Feng with a tacit implication in their eyes, as to why the infected people would agree to immigrate to the Yandong Colonial Area, they could only say that they understood everything.
The Speaker asked tentatively.
"Governor Xia, look at this plan......
Xia Feng pretended not to care.
"This is your country's internal affairs, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to intervene."
"It's okay, we just want to hear what you think, and use it as a reference."
"Okay."
Xia Feng picked up the teacup that had just been filled with hot water and took a sip gently, and said lightly.
"I think this plan is very good, it not only solves the problem of immigration, but also solves the labor problem of the initial construction of the colonial area, and also solves the employment problem of immigrants, oh yes, I can also help with employment, my private sandworm breeding base is located on the south coast, and now spring is here, but there is a great need for workers, heh, this may not be called help, it should be called mutual help."
....
His words were very subtle, and he did not show any meaning of "crossing the line".
Some tacit past events are clear to everyone, he is Xia Feng, the "infected hero" who once led the Victorian infected to complete a shocking turnaround, cornered the old empire, and brought this land back to light.
However, there are no strong drawbacks to this plan today, because the infected people are no longer in the country.
To put it simply, the upper echelons of the empire have been worried about the comeback of the intested, but they are not worried that the person who led the comeback of the infected is "Summer Wind".
Because of the current Xia Feng, there is no longer any reason to "rebel", and he is no longer a Victorian, but the governor of the Yan country.
The upper echelons of the empire are not fools, from Xia Feng's current attitude, including the king's attitude, they can all sense a signal.
Although Xia Feng is now the governor of Yandong, he will not become Victoria's enemy, even if Yanguo and Victoria are at war again.
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and it is difficult to guess people's hearts.
However, looking at the overall situation, weighing the pros and cons, choosing the plan of immigrating the infected to the Yandong Colonial Area will far outweigh the disadvantages for the empire.
.....
At the subsequent meeting, the imperial high-level discussed in detail the plan for the infected to emigrate to the Yandong Colonial Area, and the number of people in favor reached almost 90%.
Even the young congressman who had just raised the question was in favor, and it was clear that he had figured it out.
As the governor of Yandong, Xia Feng was certainly not suitable to express too many opinions on this issue, but after receiving his gaze, Marenleg immediately understood.
Next, Marenleg led the charge.
This kid is articulate, clear-minded, and even asks and answers himself, rejects all difficulties, and analyzes the correctness of the immigration of infected people with reasonable and convincing evidence.
Eventually, the plan was formally adopted at the meeting.
At this point, all the topics of this meeting have been perfectly resolved, and the plan for the Yandong Colonial Area can finally be fully launched.
.....
After the meeting, Xia Feng's legs were numb.
He shook hands with the imperial officials one by one, and declined the invitation to the dinner, saying that he still had important things to do and needed to hurry back to Yandong.
Walking out of the conference room, Marenleg leaned next to him with a spring breeze on his face.
"Hey, Xia Feng, thanks."
Xia Feng patted him on the shoulder kindly.
"Don't thank me, you have your own ability, I can help, otherwise I can't help it."
"Haha, are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Of course it's a compliment on you."
Marenleg glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist.
"Xia Feng, let's have a meal together in the evening, don't do any food stalls this time, I'll arrange it."
Xia Feng walked to the elevator and shook his head with a smile.
"No, time is limited, I still have important things, brother, we'll see you in Yandong."
With that, he and Zhou Liang walked into the elevator together and left the floor where the conference room was located.
