"But you don't have to worry, I didn't plan to use them as slaves, this time the blacks who went to Youzhou should be treated as ordinary laborers, and the wages will be paid, but it will be much less, and I will also let them eat enough food, and then let them be warmed! As for the rest, it's up to them!"

That being said, Huo Shan also knew that if Liberia's 800,000 blacks arrived in Youzhou, it would be great if half of them would be left in five years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

You must know that when the technology of later generations has been so advanced, the average life expectancy of the population of Alaska is only 31 years. It's definitely even lower in this day and age. These 800,000 blacks entered, even if there was no oppression by the Huo family's army, after ten years of land reclamation, I don't know if there would be 100,000 left!

"I know, young master!" Huo Feng knew that Huo Shan was determined, so he didn't say anything.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Woo......!"

The huge whistle of the huge Machen New Port resounded in the sky, and the merchant ships flying various national flags entered the port in order under the command of the port staff, and the anti-smuggling boats belonging to the coast guard in the distance were slowly wandering on the sea to ensure that once an unexpected situation occurred, it could be solved most quickly and effectively.

Adjacent to the huge Machen New Port, a new urban area is rising rapidly. Since the Huo family army occupied Nanyang and Ma Chen became the political center of the Huo family army, this small coastal city, which originally had less than 50,000 people, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In six years, the area of the city has increased sixfold. And the population has also increased from less than 50,000 to 1.2 million now. Among all the provinces and cities of Huojiajun, except for Pontianak (formerly known as Dongwanlu), which is known as the economic center of Nanyang, the population is 1.5 million. Beyond Ma Chen, all the other Huo Jiajun cities fell behind.

"Shaochuan, you have taken a lot of luck this time, the newly established Jiaozhou Province has a size of 880,000 square kilometers, and the land area alone is second only to Youzhou Province. And when it comes to development potential and importance, it goes far beyond that. The governor of Jiaozhou Province is not something that can be made by anyone, and many veteran governors in the People's Army have not considered it. This time you have a chance to do it. It can be seen that the young master and the prime minister attach great importance to you!"

Speaking of this, Ouyang Geng looked at his classmate in front of him who was dressed in a black new Hanfu, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, although he was now the minister of the Human Resources Department. But when it comes to power and importance, I'm afraid it's not as good as Tang Shaoyi.

And I think that he and Zhan Tianyou joined the Huo family army a lot earlier than Tang Shaoyi. Now it is surpassed by those who come after him. As long as it's not a saint. It's not very comfortable for anyone to feel good, of course, Ouyang Geng is also very human. After adjusting myself, my normal heart returned.

"Yes, Shaochuan! Now among those of us who studied in the United States, you are the fastest to rise! Now you have become the newly established governor of Jiaozhou Province! It really makes us jealous!" As he spoke, Rong Yu lightly slapped Tang Shaoyi's shoulder.

At this moment, Tang Shaoyi is also surging with new trends, and he didn't expect that he would actually ascend from the inconspicuous position of political secretary to the prime minister and become the governor of Jiaozhou Province. When he remembered that he got the news three days ago, he thought he was dreaming. Even now, I still feel something unreal.

"Okay, don't talk about me, aren't you also the vice minister of posts and telecommunications now, I'm afraid it won't be long before the post of minister of posts and telecommunications will fall to you!

After listening to Tang Shaoyi's words, Rong Kuo was also pleasantly surprised, and now he has been appointed as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Government Council, and it has been almost a week. According to the path Ouyang Geng and Zhan Tianyou have taken, it is believed that he will replace Huo Xuan as the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications in the near future, and Huo Xuan will be in charge of the Ministry of Communications.

After all, as the territory of the Huo Jiajun grows larger, it is already a little too busy for another person to hold two important positions! Therefore, it will be imperative to change the personnel within the Government Council now.

"If you say that, you have to congratulate Song Sheng! He is also the vice minister of finance now!"

At this time, Zhong Wenyao, who was standing on the side, said with a smile.

He has just been appointed as the minister of the Huo family army to the United States, and Ou Yangming, who was originally the minister to the United States, will be transferred back to Nanyang to replace Huo Huang as the minister of urban construction, while Huo Huang is in charge of the police department!

Hearing this, Liang Dunyan smiled bitterly in his heart, he is not as good as these people, Finance Minister Huo Di is the descendant of the Huo family, and he does not hold other positions, so if he wants to become the Minister of Finance, I am afraid it will be impossible in a short time.

However, even so, Liang Dunyan was very satisfied. After all, compared with other departments, the Ministry of Finance is second only to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is known as the largest ministry in the Government Council.

If it weren't for the fact that Huo Jiajun was newly established, lacked high-quality administrative officials, and many departments were vacant, I am afraid they would not have been in a high position at such a young age.

"Okay, everyone, the ship is about to leave! Tang Shaochuan said goodbye!"

"Everyone, Zhong Wenyao says goodbye!"

This time, the two of them are the governor of Jiaozhou Province and the other is the minister of the U.S. Legation of Huo Jiajun! So this time the two of them went all the way!

"Shaochuan, Wen Yao has a good trip!"

"Have a nice trip!"

......

In the farewell of their friends, Tang Shaoyi and Zhong Wenyao walked onto the deck of the cruise ship, and it was not until after the ship left and after the new port of Machen became blurred, the two reluctantly lowered their arms.

"I didn't expect to leave again after returning to China for three years!" Looking at the city in the distance, Tang Shaoyi's face showed a hint of emotion.

"Hehe, Shaochuan, you are wrong this time! In the future, America will not be a foreign country, but an old country!"

Zhong Wenyao's words fell, and Tang Shaoyi also reacted, "Hehe, that's what I said! Now America is also the homeland! However, thinking back to the scene when we followed Mr. Da Meng to study in the United States, although more than ten years have passed, but now when I think about it, I still remember it vividly, as if it was close at hand!"

"Yes!" Zhong Wenyao still remembers the anxiety, panic and confusion about the future when he first traveled 32,000 kilometers to study in the United States.

"However, the world is impermanent, and I didn't expect that there was a day when we were defeated in our prosperous and powerful United States, and it was defeated by the People's Army composed of our Han Chinese. When the news of the Chicago Treaty spread, I was surprised if you didn't know it, and I still can't believe it!"

Zhong Wenyao's words made Tang Shaoyi, who had the same experience as him, also nodded in agreement. At the beginning, he did not expect that the Chinese People's Military Government he served would actually defeat the Americans and swallow all the land west of the Mississippi River in one bite.

For this result, not only them, but almost all the young children who have studied in the United States feel a little incredible. This alone is a fact that cannot be changed.

"The first time we went to the Americas, we were studying abroad. I went to the Americas for the second time after more than ten years, but I went to be an official! But this time I am not an official!" Zhong Wenyao's face showed a trace of bitterness.

Hearing this, Tang Shaoyi smiled. After the signing of the Sino-American Chicago Treaty, although the Americans in Alaska would not care, nearly five million square kilometers of land west of the Mississippi River were ceded to the Chinese People's Army, and the resentment in the United States did not need to be thought about to know how big it would be.

However, although everything was a foregone conclusion after the signing of the treaty. In the case of the helpless Huo Jiajun, Zhong Wenyao, as the minister to the United States, will definitely bear the resentment of the Americans.

Of course, the attitude of the US government is still secondary, what it is afraid of is retaliation from the people, if there are a few people who do not die, I am afraid that Zhong Wenyao's life is in danger.

"Wen Yao, when you come to the United States this time, you should keep a low profile for a while, and if it's okay, try not to leave the legation! After a year or two, the Americans' mood will calm down, and it will be fine!"

"It seems that this is the only way!" Zhong Wenyao said with a slightly wry smile on his face. However, after the end of the Sino-US war, the United States was busy restoring its domestic economy, and it is estimated that it did not bother to trouble Huo Jiajun. At that time, he, the minister of the People's Army in the United States, is estimated to have nothing to do.

"Okay, don't patronize me! This time, you have been appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou Province, although it is a step up and unlimited scenery, but the list on this shoulder is not clear! If you can't make dazzling achievements, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your future career development!"

Hearing this, Tang Shaoyi nodded, with a slight heavy look on his face.

Jiaozhou Province, Texas and Oklahoma, which were originally Americans, especially the former, because of the close proximity to the Caribbean Sea, has been developed and built by the Spaniards hundreds of years ago, and then after the Americans came, Texas developed faster, and now it has a very complete industrial base, steel mills, shipyards, oil extraction and smelting, coal chemical industry, and even the road system is also very perfect, 15,000 kilometers of railways are distributed in Jiaozhou Province.

All of this was preserved intact because of the rapid rout of the Americans in the early days of the war.

It can be said that the current Jiaozhou Province is the province with the best industrial base among the fourteen provinces and one city in the Huojiajun American Territory. In addition, it is located in a plain, the land is fertile, and the water source is abundant, which is also very beneficial to the development of agriculture.

Therefore, the entire Huojia Military Administration Yuan is very much looking forward to the development prospects of Jiaozhou Province.

In this expectation, Tang Shaoyi was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou Province, if he can't develop Jiaozhou Province more prosperous on this basis, then it means that his ability is not enough to hold this position.

Once this impression is solidified, it will not be easy to make a difference in politics later. (To be continued.) )
