Valley Emperor

On Xiaoxi Lake in the Five Lakes Province of North America, an inland passenger ship slowly moved westward along the New South Canal!

Although this small passenger ship is not big, with a displacement of only two or three hundred tons, the imperial dragon flag is also hung on the ship, which means that it is an official ship.

In addition to the imperial dragon flag, there are many other flags, and many of the flags on them have handwriting.

Many flags were written on:

The Sixteenth Issue of the Economics Department of Guozijian

Xuanping 23rd doctoral champion.

Ordered to govern the Five Lakes Province

There is also a small flag at the stern: Yangzhou Feng!

From these flags, you can see who the owner of the boat is!

He is Feng Xinyuan, the first governor of the Five Lakes Provinces of the empire. He is a native of Yangzhou. He is known for his handwriting. He was admitted to the Guozijian in his early years to study in the Department of Economics.

After entering politics, he first worked in the Economics Section of the Hanlin Academy, then was transferred to the Finance Department, and then he was transferred to the local government to serve as prefect, governor and other positions.

His life history is similar to that of many senior civil servants in the empire. He studied hard when he was a teenager, got an undergraduate degree in a university, participated in the imperial examinations and entered the political world after graduation, and went back and forth between Gyeonggi and other places to accumulate more experience. He became the governor of a province.

His resume, to some extent, can also be regarded as the standard procedure for training high-ranking officials within the Tang Empire.

After the Tang Dynasty established overseas provinces at the end of last year, he also took advantage of the situation to become the first governor of the Five Lakes Province, one of the seven provinces in North America.

Although it was a job overseas, no one thought it was a devaluation.

Now the world is different from before. If a dozen or twenty years ago, it was said that he was transferred to work overseas, no matter where he was, it would be equivalent to exile.

But now, they are also transferred overseas, but it also depends on the place. Some places are still remote, and the transfer used to be an arrangement of exile and demotion.

But some places are good places, such as North America.

It seems to be very far away, but North America is actually no different from the mainland now. There is no native aboriginal, and the number of immigrants from the empire has exceeded 10 million. Moreover, agriculture is developed, and various resources are extremely rich.

Therefore, the position on the North American side today is not very good, but it is not bad.

More importantly, Feng Xinyuan was promoted!

He used to be the governor of Liaodong Province, and his grade was only the third grade.

Now that he has been transferred to the Five Lakes Province, he has crossed the threshold of the second rank and has become a senior official from the second rank. This is naturally a high promotion for his career.

It's just that promotion is a good thing, but the complicated situation in the Five Lakes Province and even the whole of North America makes him a little worried.

Before leaving Jinling, he and many other officials who were assigned to serve as governors overseas had several interviews with the cabinet bosses. During the conversation, although the cabinet bosses said on the surface that they were all about developing the local economy and improving people's livelihood In other words, but everyone is an old fritter in the officialdom.

Naturally, it can be heard from the words of Chen Lifu and other cabinet leaders: Let you serve as governors in the past, not for other reasons, but to maintain stability.

Maintain the stability of these overseas provinces, don't let them toss.

How to maintain the stability of these overseas provinces is naturally to follow the policy of economic integration.

Adopt different policy policies for different people in overseas provinces, develop the local economy well, let the local ordinary people live a stable life, and at the same time guide the local gentry to engage in trade, agricultural investment, mineral investment and so on.

In short, don't let those gentlemen want to engage in manufacturing all day long!

On this basis, with the economic integration policy, these overseas provinces and the mainland will be more closely linked.

For example, in terms of education, we should encourage local students to study, and then apply for admission to various universities in the country, so that the second- and third-generation immigrants should come back to the empire to have a look, to see the strength of the empire, and to take a look at the empire. Prosperity, let them know how proud it is to be a Tang Dynasty.

This will put an end to the rise of localism!

Let's not let the second and third generations of immigrants give birth to the idea that I am an American, not a Tang Dynasty person!

After meeting with the cabinet bosses, Feng Xinyuan was also received by the Son of Heaven before he set off.

Although the entire interview process only lasted less than fifteen minutes, Feng Xinyuan had a deep memory. He remembered every action and every sentence of the Son of Heaven at that time.

He clearly remembered that the Son of Heaven at that time said to him: "In the past, we must do a good job of people's livelihood!"

A simple sentence sounds ordinary, but Feng Xinyuan thinks it is meaningful.

After departing from the mainland, during the time on the ship, he pondered this sentence repeatedly, combined with the opinions of the cabinet leaders and the actual situation in North America.

In general, he already has a general policy plan for the Five Lakes Province.

After the ocean-going 10,000-ton passenger ship he took arrived at Xinnan Port, he did not stay for too long, but directly changed to an inland passenger ship and went to the Great Lakes region along the New South Canal.

The New South Canal was also an important project for the empire to develop the Great Lakes region in North America in the early years, because there are many rapids in the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, and there is a super large waterfall.

In order to be able to travel to the Great Lakes region more conveniently, especially to connect the New South Port and the Great Lakes region, the American Affairs Office at that time used a lot of resources to dig a canal, that is, the New South Canal.

The entire canal was excavated from the Xinnan River and finally connected to Xiaoxi Lake (Lake Erie). The entire canal reached an astonishing 500 kilometers.

Of course, although it is very long, the canal is not very wide, and the water depth is only about one meter on average.

However, Rao is like this. In order to dig this canal~www.wuxiaspot.com~, at least hundreds of thousands of indigenous laborers were killed and injured, and millions of dollars were spent.

However, since it was completed and opened to navigation, the New South Canal has become the main artery of North America and played a huge role. Countless steam barges and passenger ships traveled between the Great Lakes region and the New South Port through this canal.

Not long after its completion, the construction cost of this canal has been recovered through tolls, and there is still a surplus. More importantly, this new South Canal has brought huge benefits to the development of the local agricultural economy in North America.

So it didn't take long for the cost to be recovered, the American Affairs Yamen directly announced that the canal would be free for navigation, and at the same time increased the expansion of the canal.

This is why Feng Xinyuan took the river cruise to Wuhu Province, otherwise, he would have to travel by land in a very troublesome way.

He went all the way along the canal, and the scenery along the way also made him deeply feel why the empire attached so much importance to North America and so feared North America.

On both sides of the canal, there is endless land!

Not plains, not meadows, but cultivated land...

In his whole life, he has seen many magnificent mountains and rivers in the empire, but this is the first time he has seen this endless farmland!

Look at how other farmers farm the land. They all use huge horses to cultivate the land. This is not the point. The point is that there are only a dozen people working in such a large area.

What he saw in the past were all cold data, and there was no intuitive feeling, but now that he saw these endless farmlands with his own eyes, he finally understood why many ministers in the cabinet were worried.

The natural environment of this place is really excellent.

This is already superior to the extent that the local people are afraid of it.
