In Xinhua Port, drizzle is continuous.☆→

"Even during the dry season, it rains for at least one week a month." Shi Qinjie stood in a blue shirt with a slightly white wash, looking at the hazy sea view in Xinhuaxia Bay. He said with emotion: "I have been here for more than ten years. I used to complain that it was humid and stuffy, with many mosquitoes, many diseases, etc. I didn't expect to leave, but I was extremely reluctant to leave."

Shi Qinjie recently received a notice of appointment and removal from the Executive Committee, that is, the Executive Committee intends to remove Shi Qinjie from the position of captain of the new China Development Team and the security commander of the new China Development Team, and also appoint Ma Wanpeng as the acting captain of the new China Development Team. As for whether this island will be officially taken over by Ma Wanpeng in the future, or whether the local government will send another personnel to replace the position of captain of the development team, it is not yet determined. But in any case, Shi Qinjie will leave New China Development Island in the near future and return to the local government.

As for Shi Qinjie's future, it is likely to be one of the nine elders who are joining the Executive Committee to serve as a central executive committee, commonly known as one of the nine elders (the next executive committee plans to reduce 11 members to 9). Recently, many small groups in the local area are optimistic about him, and everyone agrees that these "outside town governors" have rich political experience. If they enter the Executive Committee, they will definitely effectively improve the current "bad" governance level of the central government. Therefore, Shi Qinjie is likely to be selected into the Executive Committee at the People's Congress at the end of the year.

Kyle, who was reporting work in Shi Qinjie's office, was also silent when he heard this. He had already moved his whole family to Xinhua Port to live. As a new family with ambitions, he still respected Shi Qinjie, a relatively kind boss, so he felt a little regretful for his departure. He is now particularly afraid that the local people would send a great honor to come here. You should know that the entire New China Island only has 48,000 East Coast military and civilians. Compared with at least 1.5 million indigenous people of various routes, it is really insignificant. What everyone should do now should be to be in a deep and focused on development, but if the new leader is a war maniac, then it is difficult to say what will happen next, and it is difficult to say good things for the entire New China Island.

"I have been in charge of this place for more than ten years. I have asked myself that I have no credit and hard work." Shi Qinjie held his hands on the windowsill made of ebony, allowing the sea breeze to bring rain ribbons into the house. He only heard him say: "With the harvest of cotton this year, the total trade volume between New China Island and the local area will exceed one million yuan historic. It is not difficult to see people if you take out such a report card, right?"

Shi Qinjie was born in the Ministry of Agriculture and naturally had some experience in how to farm. He came to New China Island for more than ten years, fighting against the local harsh natural environment, fighting against fierce and cunning dirt people, and fighting with Western colonists such as Portugal, Netherlands, France, etc. Although the policy measures cannot be said to be without errors, at least the general direction is no problem.

In addition, although he is a little hesitant, cowardly, and not strong enough in his style, fortunately, he knows people and is willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates, and is willing to delegate power to those who can do things. In addition, he is from the agricultural system and is the best friend of Jin Kola, a member of the Central Committee. He is still familiar with the New China region, which mainly focuses on the plantation economy, so he has been in charge of this big island for more than ten years. His achievements can basically be described as "qualified" - not particularly outstanding, but at least above the average level.

In addition to making great achievements in agriculture, Shi Qinjie is also more determined to implement the central government's intentions. For example, with his strong support, Xinhua Shipyard has taken advantage of its unique advantages (rich raw materials) and has developed into a medium-sized shipyard with two special ship platforms and one general ship platform. It has technicians, skilled workers and apprentices in total. With their efforts, although ships have been repeatedly drawn (some have been drawn to the Far East and some have been withdrawn back to the local area), the fleet size of the East African Transportation Company is still steadily growing. Currently, the company has a total of 16 transport ships - all of which are 650-ton flute-type ships - with a total tonnage of 10,400 tons, which is second tonnage in the southwestern Indian Ocean.

It is precisely because of this large tonnage ocean transport fleet that the potential of New China Island was fully realized. For example, they transported a large number of Polish and German prisoners of war from Suez Port, which effectively enriched the manpower everywhere on the island. Some (German prisoners of war) were even transferred to the Far East to support the local Anti-Qing War. For example, they used these transport ships to sell various commodities in the large-scale material reserve warehouse built in Xinhua Port to Ottoman, Persia, Oman and other countries in various categories, making hundreds of thousands of yuan in annual profits - of course, the livestock, raw silk, female slaves, fruits (such as dates), blankets, gems, perfume and other commodities from these countries were also transported back to New China and even the east coast from these transport ships, greatly enriching the domestic commodity market.

Especially the Persian Safavi Dynasty, the increase in the trade volume between the country and the East Coast in recent years has been astonishing, from less than 100,000 yuan to 430,000 yuan last year (1652), and this year's data will reach a new level in the scale of last year - according to statistics, the East Coast Republic imported about 600 dans of raw silk from Persia this year (the Persians have increased the import quota of raw silk from the East Coast to 1,000 dan per year, second only to the United Kingdom), which is more than 380,000 yuan in trade volume. If we include a little metal utensils, dyed leather goods, soap, high-end printed cloth and a large amount of military funds exported to Persia, it would not be a problem for the trade volume between the East and Poland to exceed 500,000 yuan this year. Even if the intensity of their war with the Indians increased, the total trade volume exceeded 600,000 yuan.

Persia has gradually grown into a market that people on the East Coast cannot ignore!

Of course, it is certainly gratifying to use New China Island as a springboard to trade with Persia, Oman and the Asian and African parts of the Ottoman Empire, but for the local area, the most important part of New China Island is always the massive resources it can provide - all of which are urgently in the local area. For example, wood, although the local forest logging volume is increasing day by day, in such a large southern cone area, there is no high-quality wood comparable to New China Island. The guard gunboats and ocean-going merchant ships on the east coast today are basically made of New China Wood, which is proof of this; for example,

The extremely wide range of sisal, agriculture, industry, fishery, and navy are basically used; for example, cotton, cocoa, coffee, rubber, high-quality fine coal, unique seafood, tropical dried fruits, and pepper and herbs that have just begun to be planted on a large scale. This large island with a local trade volume of more than one million yuan with the East Coast is now the most important overseas colony of the East Coast Republic and the most dazzling gem in the crown! The East Coast can be lost to Australia and South Africa, but it is absolutely impossible to bear the serious consequences of losing the New Huaxia Island.

"Forget it, they are all people who are leaving, and it is not appropriate to complain about these things." Shi Qinjie smiled at himself, then looked at Kyle who was a little embarrassed, and said gently: "But before leaving, I still have a few things to do, which is my final work. The first and most important thing is to implement the intention of the Executive Committee and clarify the finance and taxation of the towns under the jurisdiction of the New China Development Team, especially several more mature settlements, such as Xinhua Town, Xixiang, Lobster Port, Tacheng Port, Guihua Port and other places. The collection of seven major taxes determined by the Ministry of Finance must be resolutely implemented. Taxes that are good for collection, such as Qi, etc.

Taxes, customs duties, personal income tax, business tax, and consumption tax must be resolutely collected. The movable property tax that is difficult to collect should also be collected as much as possible. We cannot take it seriously anymore. As for the Mianhe area, the new and old settlements in the Daqing Basin, due to the short development time and the conditions are not very good, and the possible impact of the war, we are temporarily exempted. However, the real estate registration work of local residents must be fully carried out. The sooner this matter is carried out, the smaller the resistance. Well, this is Ma Wanpeng's business, not your job. You just need to be responsible for Xinhua Port and its surrounding areas. I will talk to Weikeduo in Tacheng..."

"In addition to this matter, the second important thing is medical science and disease prevention and control. This is not an exaggeration in tropical areas," Shi Qinjie seemed to be saying to Kyle, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "The launch and sewage facilities of various settlements have been done at present. Xixiang is being transformed, and the naturalized port and Tacheng Port are included in the renovation plan, and other places have no plans. Alas, there are many things to do, and these things are much more important than fighting the natives in Mianhe. Our population on the island is less than one-thirty of that of the natives. If we want to account for the majority of the island in the future, or even exterminate the natives, there is still a long way to go. The first step is to improve sanitation facilities, strengthen disease prevention and control and publicity, and reduce the mortality rate of our infants and young children. Those things in war are really nothing."

"Haha, the third thing is the war I just mentioned. Eliminating the Saccaravar natives is the top priority, and the next goal is to expel other Western powers' colonial strongholds on the island. Now the Dutch are taken away by us, but the French are still standing there, so we have to find a way to target them. This island must be exclusively owned by my Great East Coast, which is absolutely uncontroversial. Alas, it's not enough time. I really want to solve these two things before leaving office. What a pity." Shi Qinjie pounded the desk hard and said with a little annoyance.

It is conceivable that when Shi Qinjie, who almost regarded New China Island as his child, entered the supreme authority of the East Coast Republic of China, he would definitely mobilize various resources to encourage the Executive Committee to increase investment in it so that the world's fourth largest island can become an important part of the national economy.
