Chapter 494: Appointment of the Provincial Governor

readx;

"You don't have to worry about this, I already said it when Xiaoshan sent this administrative division of the American Territory, this provincial division is just an expedient measure, and ten years later, when the population and economy of the provinces develop, it will be redivided!"

Huang Sheng's voice fell, and everyone nodded clearly, so it is much more reasonable, after all, the territory of the Americas plus Alaska has more than 7 million square kilometers, and there is only one municipality in fourteen provinces is too little!

"Well, the administrative divisions of the Territory of the Americas are now demarcated, and there are no changes to the provincial government officials except for the two new provinces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Apex Novel: But now we need to elect a governor of Jiaozhou Province!"

"What about Yangzhou Province?" Rong Hong said in surprise.

Hearing this, Huang Sheng smiled faintly, "The candidate for Yangzhou Province has already been selected! Murong Fei, the former magistrate of Yapu County in Yingzhou Province, who was hand-picked by Xiaoshan!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces were different, but most of them had a hint of envy. Although their current position is not much worse than that of a provincial governor, they have also made too much effort in the early stage for today, and although Murong Fei has served in Yapu County, he has also made quite a lot of political achievements, and he can be regarded as the younger generation with excellent internal administrative ability of the Huo Jiajun.

However, from the first term of the county magistrate directly to the provincial party committee, the governor of Yangzhou Province was newly established, and he managed nearly 400,000 square kilometers of land. Although the population of this land is less than 500,000, it is not difficult to develop with the good land and transportation conditions here. It is conceivable that this Murong Fei's career after him must be a smooth progress.

Of course, if it weren't for the coincidence that Huo Shan fell to Yap Island. After getting to know Murong Fei and seeing his achievements in governance and personality, I am afraid that he will not have such a great transformation. After all, there are not many young officials with political achievements and abilities in the entire Huo Jiajun. But there are not many of his creations.

Looking at the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, Huang Sheng secretly sighed in his heart, at the beginning, even with his current status, Murong Fei was promoted quickly, from a county magistrate directly to the governor of a large province, he had envy in his heart, and even after receiving Huo Shan's telegram, he even spoke out against it.

However, in the end, Huo Shan's decision was not changed.

Of course. The reason why Murong Fei was chosen to become the governor of Yangzhou Province this time was not decided by Huo Shan arbitrarily, except for Murong Fei's outstanding achievements in governing Yapu County. Another big reason is that he was a soldier, strong-willed, and young and pioneering.

Now the territory of the Americas is in ruins, and even most of the area is wild. Therefore, the officials of this land need the kind of young and energetic doers. Rather than an old politician who is old and has rich experience in government affairs.

Therefore, the young Murong Fei entered Huo Shan's eyes with his performance.

In addition, Yangzhou Province is close to the Mississippi River, which will become the forefront of the confrontation between China and the United States in the future.

Of course, this time the choice of the governor of Jiaozhou Province. The requirements are still the same as other identities, what Huo Shan needs is the kind of young and enterprising young officials. Although they may not have a lot of experience in government affairs, the first thing that Jiaozhou Province needs now is to forge ahead.

"I recommend Xu Jixiang, the governor of Abbot Province, to be the governor of Jiaozhou Province!" Huo Tian said first.

Of course, among the eighteen iron guards of the Huo family, Huo Feng's ranking is still above Huo Tian, but as a female streamer, Huo Feng rarely expresses opinions on Huo Jiajun's major affairs except for managing her supervision department, so it is natural that Huo Tian has become the vane of the Huo family's descendants.

Hearing the candidate he recommended this time, the other Huo Lei, Huo Huang and others all nodded in agreement.

Of course, Xu Jixiang recommended by Huo Tian is also enough to convince the public, as the governor of Abbot Province, although he has jurisdiction over thousands of large and small islands in the South Pacific such as the Lane Islands, Phoenix Islands, Samoa Islands, Cook Islands, Tubuai Islands, and Tuamotu Islands, but among all the provincial-level administrative divisions within Huo Jiajun, the land area is slightly larger than that of Yingzhou Province, and the combined land area of all the islands does not exceed 10,000 square kilometers.

However, compared to the small land area, the sea area controlled by Fangzhang Province is indeed the broadest in the entire Huojia Army, and about one-eighth of the Pacific Ocean is within the scope of Fangjia Province.

Moreover, the location here is also very critical, controlling most of the routes from Huojiajun's American territory to Australia, as well as between Asia and the Americas, North America and South America, and the strategic position is very critical.

Therefore, in order to control here, Huo Jiajun made great efforts to the development of Abbot Province, and Xu Jixiang, as the governor of the province, also worked hard and invested a lot of energy in the four years since the establishment of Abbot Province. Seven islands with a land area of more than 1,000 square kilometers were filled out in the province of the abbot.

Although it cost the lives of more than one million Nanyang natives in the process, it also really stabilized the dominance of the Huo family army in this huge sea area.

Now that the number of immigrants who have migrated to Abbot Province has reached 800,000, it is conceivable that with the large-scale land reclamation, more immigrants will migrate over, and at that time, in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, the rule of the Huo family army will become more stable.

It was precisely by virtue of this achievement that Xu Jixiang was also favored by the Government Council, and this time Huo Tian also deliberately pushed him out.

"I recommend Tang Shaoyi to be the governor of Jiaozhou Province!"

Just when everyone was thinking about whether Xu Jixiang was suitable to be the governor of Jiaozhou Province, Rong Hong, who was sitting under Huang Sheng, suddenly spoke.

"Tang Shaoyi?"

Everyone is no stranger to this candidate personally recommended by Huo Shan to Huang Sheng to serve as the office secretary, and they have also communicated with this person a few times in the middle, and they are all deeply impressed by his talent.

Looking at the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Rong Hong nodded and continued: "Yes, Jiaozhou, as the original territory of the Americas, has the best foundation for development, and has a certain industrial and agricultural foundation, coupled with a huge area, so there are more than 300,000 white American talents and their families left there! Therefore, we need someone who is more familiar with the situation in the United States and the West to manage them! And Tang Shaoyi, as the original child studying in the United States, is undoubtedly the most suitable!"

Although the Huo family army occupied the west of the Mississippi River and drove more than eighty percent of the white people who originally lived here to the east bank of the river, they also looted a large number of talents from the states on the east bank of the Mississippi River, including university teachers, senior technicians, doctors, etc., plus their families, these people together numbered nearly five million.

Except for half of them, who migrated to the various territories of the Huo Family Army in the South Seas and the Pacific, almost all of the rest stayed in the territory of the Americas.

The newly established Jiaozhou, because it is close to the Caribbean Sea, developed earlier, has a good industrial base and a large number of educational institutions, so among all the American provinces and cities, there are the most white talents left here.

Therefore, it is very necessary for a person who is familiar with Western civilization and understands the living habits and religious beliefs of white people to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou Province.

"In addition, the young master once sent a telegram that the selection of the chief executives of the provinces and cities in the Americas should be mainly young and composed of people with a certain amount of experience in government affairs, Tang Shaoyi has been in the administrative department of the Government Council for three years, and has accumulated a certain amount of experience in government affairs! And now at the age of 25, he is in the prime of life, he dares to think and dare to do, and he is the best choice for the governor of Jiaozhou Province!"

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, Rong Hong's words were very reasonable, Tang Shaoyi was indeed the best candidate to serve as Jiaozhou Province in that regard.

"Tang Shaoyi is indeed good, but he has never had any experience in local work, so is it appropriate to put him as the governor of such an important province as Jiaozhou all of a sudden?" said Chen Jitong, Minister of Agriculture, cautiously.

"However, although Xu Jixiang has made outstanding achievements in politics, he is from the military, he is very unfamiliar with Western society, and he does not know much about the living habits and religious beliefs of white people! If he serves as the governor of Jiaozhou Province, will he be able to handle well the relationship between white people and us immigrants? If there is a confrontation between the two sides because of improper government decrees, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the development of Jiaozhou Province and the stability of our rule in Jiaozhou!"

Ouyang Geng, who was also born as a young child in the United States, of course supported his classmates, but what he just said was also an objective situation.

The lack of understanding of Western society is indeed Xu Jixiang's shortcoming.

In addition, Xu Jixiang was born in the military and has a strong personality, if he encounters a confrontation between whites and yellows, I am afraid that he will focus on tough suppression, which is not conducive to the stability of Jiaozhou.

You must know that these whites are all high-level talents in short supply in the Huo Family's army, and they can't be invited in normal times, although a war has plundered most of the United States and obtained a large number of talent reserves, but for the development of the entire Huo Family's army, it is only just enough.

However, with the rapid development of Huo Jiajun and the lag of its own talent training, the shortage of Huo Jiajun's talents will soon reappear, so now every highly educated talent who can be used by Huo Jiajun is very important, if it is not necessary, we must try to avoid the confrontation between the East and the West.

Especially now that the "Chicago Treaty" has been signed, and the west of the Mississippi River has been officially assigned to the Huo family's army, these whites are at the most psychologically sensitive time at this moment. Therefore, it is very necessary to have a provincial governor who is very familiar with both the East and the West, and who can balance the interests of both sides.

After the analysis and comparison of the four people, Tang Shaoyi's advantage is undoubtedly relatively greater! )
