Valley Emperor

Because the Five Lakes Province is a newly established province, the governor's office was built from scratch, and even the governor's office was temporarily rented as an office building.

​​

Feng Xin originally arrived at the governor's yamen station under the welcome of local officials and gentry. After a brief rest, he went out to meet at Prince Zheng's mansion.

​​

This Five Lakes Province is the fief of King Zheng.

​​

When he took office, he naturally had to obey the etiquette and go to see him.

​​

Zheng Wangfu is not in the city center, but in the suburbs. The entire Wangfu covers a huge area. It has a traditional Chinese style. The style of the entire Wangfu is strictly constructed according to the princely etiquette formulated by the Ministry of Rites.

​​

Speaking of which, this is the first time Feng Xinyuan has seen the official residence of an imperial lord.

​​

There are quite a few vassal kings in the empire, but one counts as one, all of them are overseas, and their mansions are also built in overseas fiefs. The king's mansion is gone.

​​

However, seeing this large-scale Zheng Wangfu, Feng Xinyuan didn't feel excited, instead, his expression was calm.

​​

Because he knew very well that one of his most important tasks as the governor was to restrain King Zheng.

​​

If overseas fiefs want to make trouble, it is absolutely indispensable that these feudal lords are behind the push. In the past, any localization in North America was promoted by the three major feudal lords in North America.

​​

However, Feng Xinyuan knew better that he restrained King Zheng himself, and he didn't say anything about using spies or the like. That's not his task, that's Han Tong's task.

​​

It's not even military defense against King Zheng. That's the military's mission, and it has nothing to do with him, Feng Xinyuan.

​​

Feng Xinyuan reined in King Zheng, and more had to start from the source, do a good job in people's livelihood, and completely cut off the possibility that the palace of King Zheng would incite the local people to conspire.

​​

Once the local ordinary people return to the empire, even if the feudal lord conspires, it will be rootless duckweed.

​​

After entering the palace, Feng Xinyuan paid respects according to the etiquette, but only limited to the meeting, and soon left the palace of Zheng.

​​

He knew very well that if there were no accidents in the future, he probably wouldn't step into Prince Zheng's mansion for the second time during his tenure.

​​

It is not a good thing to befriend a vassal king.

​​

So whether it is secretly or openly, he doesn't intend to leave anyone behind.

​​

Seeing Feng Xinyuan hurriedly come and hurried away, Zheng Wang smiled: "This person is cautious!"

​​

Another person said: "After all, he is the newly appointed governor, so caution is inevitable, but there is no way to pull him over in the future. As long as you pull this Feng Xinyuan over, it will be much easier to follow up!"

​​

But King Zheng shook his head and said, "Draw him up? There's no need!"

​​

Others are puzzled: "Why, if you can pull him over, there will be a lot of benefits!"

​​

Zheng Wang said: "I'm afraid that this king will meet him a few times, and this person will be transferred back to the mainland, so don't waste your time!"

​​

"But other than the governor, others can continue to keep in touch!"

​​

King Zheng didn't have any hope of wooing Feng Xinyuan. It didn't mean that he was worried about the possibility of wooing him, or that his father knew and punished him, but just as he said, there was no such thing as necessary.

​​

It took a lot of effort to win over, and it is estimated that they were not successful. This Feng Xinyuan must be transferred back to the mainland 100%.

​​

Even if the royal father doesn't care about making friends with the civil and military ministers here, the prince does, and the important ministers in the imperial study do care!

​​

In order to keep his career, Feng Xinyuan would not make friends with him easily.

​​

Just like the previous Wuhuzhou state orders, none of them interacted with him.

​​

They don't have the guts!

​​

But, it doesn't matter!

​​

He has been a vassal of Wuhu for many years, and he has already completed the layout locally. Even if Feng Xinyuan keeps him at a distance, it will not affect the Wangfu's control over the Wuhu area.

​​

After all, the Five Lakes region is still his fief!

​​

After leaving Prince Zheng's mansion, Feng Xinyuan didn't stop, and returned directly to the governor's station. After a good night's rest, he summoned many officials under his command the next day.

​​

Including the local officials who originally served in the local area, as well as the officials of various agencies in the newly established governor's yamen.

​​

Naturally, he didn't say anything important when he was summoned, he just said a few simple greetings and recognized the person.

​​

After the summoning is over, he will have time to truly understand the specific situation of the Five Lakes Province that he needs to govern.

​​

Before he came, he had already learned about it through numerous files, but there was no way to fully understand it just by looking at the files. The best way was to actually look at it.

​​

Therefore, Feng Xinyuan started the frequent inspection mode.

​​

On the third day of his tenure, he inspected all parts of West Lake City, including walking around the city, and then went to briefly inspect some infrastructure such as ports and water supply, and then went to the commercial street to take a look.

​​

After seeing this in person, I also have a preliminary understanding of the entire West Lake City.

​​

This West Lake City is very different from the cities in the mainland. First of all, it is big!

​​

The entire urban area is dozens of square kilometers, but there are not many people!

​​

The land is vast and sparsely populated, so some infrastructure is more difficult to develop, at least the shape of the tap water supply has not been able to take shape, only the city center has tap water supply, and other places do not have it.

​​

The same is true of roads. In most of the mainland cities of the empire, and even the main roads of ordinary state capital cities, cement roads are popularized. Large cities even have high-grade asphalt roads. No matter how bad it is, there are cinder roads.

​​

But in West Lake City, most of the roads are dirt roads, and the one in the city center is the cinder road.

​​

There is no way to do this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The urban area is so big and the roads are developed in all directions, but the population is so small, and the urban tax revenue is relatively limited, so it is difficult to support the perfect road construction in the urban area.

​​

After reading this, Feng Xinyuan just felt that this typical American city has a good side and a bad side.

​​

The good thing is that the place is big enough, and people's living space is very sufficient, but the bad thing is that the place is too big, and it is difficult to develop public facilities.

​​

The roads are not good, not even many stagecoachs!

​​

Because there are not many people, there are naturally not many passengers. Although there are public carriages, there is only one shift for a long time. Otherwise, the carriage company will lose money.

​​

Feng Xinyuan didn't see many public carriages along the way, and he was worried that the local public transportation system would not work, and it would be difficult for people to travel.

​​

However, along the way, Feng Xinyuan didn't see many people walking out on the road. Instead, he saw a lot of people driving small single-horse two-wheeled carriages, many private four-wheeled carriages, and many men simply rode Horse travel.

​​

Seeing this scene, he was speechless.

​​

The lack of public carriages in this place is not only a big place but a small population.

​​

But in this broken place, every household has a private carriage...

​​

This even gave Feng Xinyuan an illusion that the people of West Lake City lived better than the residents of Songjiang Prefecture!
