Arknights is too real, right?

Regarding 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 tell.

At the same time, just like to prove that he will not be bound by heavy memories, he will not deliberately hide it from those he trusts.

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

Although he could not trust the two shadow guards sent from the interior of the Yan Kingdom, he did not take them into account. This kind of thing was no secret to those at the top of their power.

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

Like bagpipes, the people of Yandong began to plant rice and sow rice. This year should be the best year in their lives so far.

Under the management of Nishimiya Pingryu, the Yandong Security Bureau carried out a round of public security rectification of the entire area.

Wandering warriors, bandits in the mountains, bullies in the village, homeless vagrants, all unstable factors that may constitute crime have been effectively managed.

Now Yandong has complete laws and political and legal institutions to deal with various criminals. Correspondingly, punishment facilities such as detention centers and prisons have also been established.

The public security issues in Yandong have been effectively controlled.

As time went by, the grass on Minister Liang’s grave grew taller and taller.

Regarding the "unfortunate death" of Comrade Liang Zheng, Xia Feng reported it to the Yanguo General Internal Affairs Council. However, the General Internal Affairs Council did not ask too much about it and only responded to him with four words, "Properly handle it."

Apart from this, he didn't even ask about the new minister's affairs. It seems that all smart people are aware of this matter.

Just as he thought, Yan State's supervision of the regional governor was not strict, at least not strict with him. The rule was that the dead were alive, and some things were only seen on the surface.

The Governor only needs to do superficial work, and the General Internal Affairs Department only wants to see superficial work. As for the inner workings, it can only say that it understands everything.

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

As the spring breeze blows across the earth, the dispute between Dongzhou and Nishikawa has become history, and the former rule of the Nishinomiya family and Sakurabu family has gradually been forgotten.

Looking at it, Yandong looks like a peaceful and prosperous age, but for the person with the highest power in this land, it is far from enough.

In Xia Feng's complete plan, what he has completed now is just a "novice tutorial".

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

First, the shortage of permanent population.

According to the census conducted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Yandong, the current total population of Yandong is approximately 6 million.

Excluding children and the elderly, the effective labor force is only about 70%. This population is really pitifully small.

Second, there is a serious lack of productivity.

Because of the backwardness of technology and communications, the productivity of various industries in Yandong can be said to be unbearable. To put it bluntly, it means spending the most effort and getting the least return.

For example, if there is a family with an elder and a younger child, and the couple works from dawn to dusk, plowing in the spring and harvesting in the autumn, they can only provide food for the whole family. In addition, they can only save a few hundred kilograms of food to support the sky.

But if you place it in Victoria, this ratio will be completely reversed.

Let's not talk about it far, just take Bagpipe, who lives with him on the south coast. She boasted that she could support the entire sandworm breeding base with her own efforts.

Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated, but it can also prove the huge gap in productivity.

The same couple works in farming. The couple in Yandong can only feed their family, but the farmers in Victoria can supply most of the town's food needs.

In addition to farming, this is true for all walks of life in Yandong. This is the difference in productivity brought about by Originium technology, production technology, and efficient communication.

Xia Feng did some research and found that 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 mountains, containing several types of relatively precious ores.

In addition, there is a "Golden Mountain" in the Xichuan area that was chopped out by his sword.

When he and Ying Wulan fought in the natural disaster, in the end, he absorbed all the source stone energy in the entire natural disaster area, and chopped Ying Wulan's body into pieces with one sword.

In that battle, not only did Yingwulan crack, but the entire land was split into an abyss that stretched for several kilometers.

Afterwards, all nearby villages and people fled. People were not sure what happened, and he himself did not give a detailed explanation.

The current mainstream theory is that a natural disaster caused a strong earthquake in the Xichuan area, leading to the subsidence.

Some time later, the Yandong Special Economic Zone was established, and staff from the Yandong Resources Department conducted a round of surveys on all natural resources within the territory.

When the investigators came near the cracked land, they were surprised to find that there was a huge iron ore vein under the cracks.

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

A rough estimate is that with Yandong's mining capabilities, he should not be able to finish mining until he dies.

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

Xia Feng sat at his desk, staring at the multiple reports on production and construction on the table, 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 them.

For example, in the fishing industry, Yandong does not have a large-scale fishing fleet, so it can only catch a limited amount 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 the surface. If you dig deeper, you may collapse at any point.

Other industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, etc. also face the same problem.

It's like you want to eat barbecue. Now you have the meat and seasonings, but you don't have the fire.

You don’t have the tools to make a fire, and with your ability, you don’t have the skills to make a fire at all.

What Yandong lacks now is "a fire", but given the importance Yan State attaches to the Yandong Special Zone, there will be no assistance at all.

The only thing the top leaders of the Yan Kingdom want is the Origin Stone. Other than that, they don't want to take care of anything else, as long as the governor can ensure that the area under his jurisdiction is not starved to death.

Therefore, the interior of Yan country cannot be counted on.

After sorting the information on the desk into the drawer, Xia Feng leaned on the chair and exhaled heavily.

He will not be content with the status quo. If he wants to play, he will have a big one.

In his plan, Yandong must become the second Longmen, and achieve it in a short period of time, or even completely surpass it.

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

Instead of relying on heaven and earth, it is better to rely on yourself, ahem, his allies, and his "wife".
