Arknights is too real, right?

The next morning, Xia Feng arrived at the Imperial Administration Building on time.

Here, as Governor of Yandong, he would participate in discussions on the establishment of the Victoria Colony.

Zhou Liang and Maren Laige were waiting at the door early.

Of course, Mullenleg's head was still wrapped with gauze, but this did not affect his good mood.

Because last night Xia Feng agreed to help recommend him as the colonial district chief.

Zhou Liang was wearing a meticulous Yanguo official robe and bowed his head slightly to Xia Feng.

"Sir, you are here."

"kindness."

Mullenleg patted him on the shoulder kindly.

"You had a good rest last night."

"fine."

Without too many pleasantries, Xia Feng directly motioned to the people upstairs.

"Let's go up and finish early and rest early."

It was still the largest conference room in the administrative building, but a large number of people inside had changed.

Sitting in the upper seat of the conference room, Xia Feng still remembered that this seat was once occupied by a first-class noble in the Imperial Yuan Parliament, and in the middle was the seat of the Yuan Speaker.

There was a time when extreme discussions about a tax on infected people were raised in this room.

Xia Feng even remembered that he was in this conference room when he threw his noble medal to the ground in front of Wei Lin.

After that, he returned to the south. Not long after, the empire decided to expel the infected, and the Dark Ages officially broke out.

Now that it's all over, many of the people who were sitting in this conference room are no longer here.

Verin died, Frey died, the major nobles were deprived of their status and property, the Yuan Parliament composed of nobles was also replaced by the National Assembly, and the Inspector General Kapewami became a military policeman on duty at the city gate. .

And he, Xia Feng, returned to this conference room after losing his right eye. His current identity is the Governor of Yandong.

When Xia Feng is touched by the scene, he will inevitably think of some past events.

At this moment, a polite call from beside him brought him back to reality.

"Governor Xia, can we start now?"

Xia Feng came to his senses and nodded to the president of the National Assembly beside him.

"I'm fine, I can start anytime."

"good."

As the door of the conference room was closed by the Royal Knights Guards, the meeting about the Yandong Colonial Zone officially began.

Today, as the king, Vina was not present in person. The chief executive instead was the chief administrator of the empire, Arlin.

In addition, more than half of the members of the National Assembly were present, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Office of Supervision, and the Ministry of Military Affairs. There were dozens of people sitting in the entire conference room.

At the beginning of the meeting, after a brief introduction, the chairman of the meeting, who presided over the overall situation, first raised several urgent issues that needed to be resolved.

First, the issue of border security in colonial areas, as well as the protection of public and private property of the empire and its citizens.

Second, the development and governance issues of colonial areas, as well as the construction of relative administrative systems.

Third, trade interaction and domestic resource mobilization issues.

Fourth, rational mobilization of the military.

5. Colonial policy.

After hearing these five key points, Xia Feng did not feel too messy, but had a clear mind.

Logically speaking, this is the top priority for the establishment of the colonial zone, and it is also the strategic policy that must be determined. Only when these things are finalized can the colonial plan be officially launched.

Regarding the first and third issues, he has asked Zhou Liang to draw up relevant drafts.

To put it bluntly, Yandong will fully cooperate with Victoria in terms of border security and trade interaction development. Of course, there is no bottom line.

Regarding matters between the two countries, Yandong has always adhered to one principle, that is, equality and friendship.

Throughout the morning, the meeting continued to focus on this topic.

As Yandong's second-in-command, Zhou Liang has full business capabilities and can handle all kinds of tricky problems perfectly.

Only when an important statement is needed, the right to speak will be given to Xia Feng, who will say "yes" or "no".

There were no surprises, the meeting went smoothly, and the National Assembly was also very satisfied with Yandong's attitude.

As a friendly response, Victoria also reserved most of its "free space" for matters between the two countries.

The National Speaker smiled and looked sideways at Xia Feng, who was sitting next to him.

"Governor Xia, I admire your open-mindedness and friendliness. I believe that our two countries can maintain such friendly relations forever regarding Yandong matters."

Xia Feng smiled and nodded.

"Will."

Next, it is about [the development and governance of colonial areas, and the construction of relative administrative systems].

To put it simply, this issue is to select the "leadership team", which is also the issue that Mullenlegg cares about most. To establish the administrative system, the most important thing is of course the colonial district chief.

Of course, Governor Yandong had no say in this Victoria's own issue.

However, the speaker of the parliament still asked him symbolically if he had any ideas.

In this regard, Xia Feng said calmly and seriously.

"The head of the Colonial District is a very important candidate for me, because it is inseparable from the development of Yandong. It can be said that he is the person who cooperates with me, Xia, on matters between the two countries. I still have some suggestions for this. "

After hearing his suggestion, the chairman of the conference immediately signaled.

"Governor Xia, as long as your suggestions and opinions do not violate international principles, we will definitely respect them first. Please speak up."

"good."

Xia Feng glanced lightly at Maren Laig, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

"To be honest, Xia has great ambitions for the development of Yandong. Of course, some of my ideas and decisions will be relatively avant-garde. Therefore, I hope that the candidate for the colonial district chief will also be in line with international standards. Young people, this will make it easier to work with and keep the development of the two countries at the same pace."

The Speaker nodded in understanding.

"I see, then do you have anyone you would like to recommend?"

"some."

"Oh? I wonder who it is?"

Xia Feng raised his hand and gestured politely to Maren Lege, who was sitting opposite.

"That's Mr. Marenlegg. I think that among the younger generation of the empire and the senior officials who meet the qualifications of the colonial district governor, Mr. Marenlege is the most suitable. Of course, this is just my suggestion. Everything is up to your country to decide. "

After hearing this most benevolent recommendation, Malenleg secretly nodded to Xia Feng gratefully.

Obviously, Mullenleg is not the only contender for the post of Colonial District Governor.

Hearing Xia Feng's words, several officials in the conference room who also wanted to sit in this seat turned green.

As soon as Xia Feng finished speaking, Director Yaerlin, who was the highest administrative level member in the meeting, took the lead in expressing his stance.

"Well, the Maren family has contributed a lot to the development of the empire. As Maren Legg is a member of the younger generation of his family, I think he can give it a try."

An official next to him whispered.

"My lord, you are right, but for such an important position, Marenleg is too young."

Chief Yaerlin's hair and beard were all white. Hearing this, he stared like an old naughty boy.

"Is there anything wrong with being young? Do you have to be an old guy like me to be qualified? Don't forget, our king is also a young man."

The official winced in fear.

"Yes, yes, sir, what you said makes sense."

Chief Ya'erlin and Xia Feng were old acquaintances. He was perhaps the only one among the empire's senior officials, besides Wei Na and Nan Feng, who regarded Xia Feng as a relative.

Naturally, Yaerlin fully supported Xia Feng's "suggestion".

After hearing what the Chief Executive said, other officials who still wanted to fight for it immediately put out the fire and could only sigh secretly with unwillingness.
