Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 1155 The Road Not Envisioned

For the Victorian Empire, the problem of infected people within the country is an eternal "hidden danger".

Although the hidden danger seems to be minimal now, even infected people are no different from normal people. They should go to work, go to school, eat and drink, and there are many citizen benefits.

But that dark age still seems like yesterday.

Decades ago, Willanson, who succeeded the king, announced Victoria's decision to accept infected people out of some considerations.

From an objective point of view, this decision is undoubtedly wise.

As long as the royal family's dominance is not threatened, then coexistence is the best option, not expulsion and exclusion.

Because, no one can guarantee that a country will always be strong.

Once in the future, the national strength declines, or there is a huge turmoil, the oppression accumulated before will break out.

After King Willanson succeeded, Victoria began to accept the infected, and this tradition continued for decades.

The empire has established concentrated areas of infected people in every city, restricting the flow of infected people to ensure that large-scale infections do not occur.

At the same time, it is precisely because the empire accepts a large number of infected people that Victoria will have a large amount of cheap labor and its national strength will rise so rapidly.

From the perspective of outsiders, this coexistence of ordinary people and infected people seems to have reached a delicate balance.

For ordinary people, although there are hidden dangers, cheap labor is really delicious.

For the infected, although there is oppression and discrimination, they can still have food and clothing.

In this way, Victoria has been developing.

However, the hypocritical peace cannot last long after all, and the tofu dregs project cannot withstand a major earthquake after all.

Because of the shortcomings of the monarchy, after King Willanson died of illness, the successor Princess Verin issued a notice and sentenced the infected to death.

At this point, the dark age broke out.

Today, it is no longer nutritious to discuss objectively who is right and who is wrong. Now Wei Na is the king, so Wei Na is right.

What Wei Na advocates is equality, not only the infected are equal to ordinary people, but ordinary people and nobles are also equal, so the status of nobles disappears.

Under such a strategic policy, almost all citizens have enjoyed the benefits, and no one raised any objections to the peaceful coexistence with the infected.

However, the citizens are acquiescing and supportive, but the top management of the empire cannot foolishly follow along. As a management team that controls the direction of a country, they need to prevent problems before they happen.

This "suffering" refers to the millions of infected people within the country.

For more than a year, the National Council has successively formulated a number of policies to stabilize the infected and achieve the effect of disease prevention.

The biggest one is the official announcement of the death of "Xia Feng".

But later, the news of the death turned into an oolong incident, and the king personally announced that "Xia Feng" was not dead.

For the empire, the seemingly harmless infected people in the country seem a little awkward again.

Things developed here, and a road that was never imagined before appeared.

Not only has Xia Feng never imagined it himself, even the top officials of the empire and the members of the National Council only thought of it recently.

That is, without hurting the personal feelings of the infected, separate the infected group from ordinary people, transfer the infected out of the country, but still stay in the "land" of Victoria.

The significance of the Yandong colonial area suddenly became great.

in the conference hall.

All the congressmen looked at Xia Feng with a kind of tacit understanding. As for why the infected people agreed to immigrate to the Yandong colonial area, they can only say that they understand.

The chairman of the council asked tentatively.

"Governor Xia, look at this plan."

Xia Feng pretended not to care.

"This is your country's internal affairs, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to intervene."

"It's okay, we just want to hear your opinion, and it's good as a reference."

"it is good."

Xia Feng took a sip from the teacup that had just been refilled with hot water, and said calmly.

"I think this plan is very good. It not only solves the immigration problem, but also solves the labor problem in the initial construction of the colonial area, and also solves the employment problem of immigrants. Oh, yes, I can also help with employment. My The private sandworm breeding base is located on the south coast, and now that spring is here, workers are in great need, heh, this may not be called helping, it should be called helping each other."

What he said was very subtle, and he didn't show any meaning of "crossing the line".

Some tacit past events are known to everyone. He is Xia Feng, the "infected hero" who once led the infected in Victoria to complete a shocking comeback, pushed the old empire to a desperate situation, and brought light back to this land.

However, the current plan does not have any serious disadvantages, because the infected person is no longer in the country.

To put it simply, the upper echelon of the empire has been worried that the infected will make a comeback, but they are not worried that the person who will lead the infected to make a comeback is "Xia Feng".

Because the current Xia Feng has no reason to "rebel", and he is no longer a Victorian, but the governor of Yan Kingdom.

The upper echelons of the empire are not fools. From Xia Feng's current attitude, including the attitude of the king, they can all sense a signal.

Although the current Xia Feng is the governor of Yandong, he will not become Victoria's enemy, even if Yan Kingdom and Victoria are at war again.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and people's hearts are also unpredictable.

However, looking at the overall situation, weighing the pros and cons, choosing the option of immigrating the infected to the Yandong colonial area would far outweigh the disadvantages for the empire.

In the following meeting, the high-level officials of the empire discussed in detail the plan for the infected to immigrate to the Yandong colonial area, and almost 90% of them agreed.

Even the young congressman who raised the question just now agreed. Obviously, he figured it out.

As the governor of Yandong, Xia Feng is of course not suitable to express too many opinions on this issue, but after receiving the hint from his eyes, Maren Leger immediately understood.

Next, Mullen Legg took the lead in the charge throughout.

This kid is articulate, clear in thinking, even asking and answering himself, repelling all difficulties, and his analysis of the correctness of the immigration of infected people is convincing.

In the end, the plan was formally passed at the meeting.

So far, all the topics of this meeting have been perfectly resolved, and the plan for the Yandong Colonial Area can finally be fully launched.

After the meeting, Xia Feng's legs were numb.

He shook hands with the imperial officials one by one, and declined the invitation to the dinner, saying that he still had important matters to attend and needed to hurry back to Yandong.

Walking out of the conference room, Maren Legg came to him with a happy face.

"Hey, Xia Feng, thanks."

Xia Feng patted him on the shoulder kindly.

"You don't need to thank me, I can only help you if you have the ability, otherwise you won't even be able to help."

"Haha, are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Of course I'm complimenting you."

Maren Leger glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist.

"Xia Feng, let's have dinner together tonight, don't do any food stalls this time, I'll arrange it."

Xia Feng walked to the elevator, smiled and shook his head.

"No, time is limited, I have important things to do, brother, see you in Yandong."

After that, he walked into the elevator with Zhou Liang and left the floor where the conference room was located.
