“I thought so too, which is why I didn’t take action yet.
I've already had a meeting with Commander Zhao and Director Lu, and Director Lu has already sent out elite experts to investigate and try to capture them all."
Xiao Fuxing was very happy to be recognized by his eldest nephew.
Xiao Fuxing has lived for more than 20 years, and he has only two people he admires: his father Xiao Qingyang and his eldest nephew Yang Baiyi.
When he came to Annan from Sucheng, although Yang Baiyi repeatedly told him to just go ahead and do it, and it didn't matter whether he did it well or not, he still felt a lot of pressure, fearing that he would disappoint his nephew's trust.
Whenever something big happened, Xiao Fuxing would call Zhao Changzhi and Lu Kai to a meeting, but the two could only give some suggestions, and the final decision still depended on him.
In order to ensure better development for Annan and live up to his nephew's trust, Xiao Fuxing has indeed put in a lot of effort and his own abilities have also been greatly improved.
Zhao Changzhi and Lu Kai have both been fighting for decades. One of them is a senior military official and the other is the director of the National Security Bureau. Their methods and positions are tougher.
In their words, those who are not of our race must have different hearts! If they want to implement any policy, they just force it down.
When encountering resistance, just push them down, kill some and leave some, and those who remain will naturally behave themselves.
Although the population will decline rapidly in the short term, it is estimated that the descendants of the Celestial Empire and the obedient people of Annan will have more children, so population reproduction will not be a problem at all.
What they both said was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective method, but Xiao Fuxing couldn't do that.
He knew that his nephew wanted a prosperous Annan and was determined to develop Annan into the Pearl of the Orient.
All the people have been killed, so what development can we talk about?
After thinking about it for a long time alone and sending a telegram to my father for advice, I came up with the idea of all-round development today.
Crack down on opium, obtain development funds, increase the income of fruit farmers and rubber tree growers, introduce tea trees, and vigorously develop industry.
As long as the people can get tangible benefits, there is no need to worry about them not being loyal.
People all over the world are the same. They will work for whoever can feed them.
It was not until the sun set that Mu Xue brought everyone back to the Governor's Mansion. Seeing everyone's smiling faces, she knew that they had a great time outside.
"Xiaoxiao, Lele, Junjun, why did you buy so many fruits?"
Three children got out of the car, each carrying a lot of fruit.
"Cousin, I bought this for grandpa. When we came here, grandpa said he wanted to eat the fruit we brought back."
"Godfather, these fruits are so sweet. We bought a lot, enough for Great-Grandfather to eat for many days."
"Humph! You two little brats have interrupted me."
The three children all rushed to reply.
"You should eat these fruits. The weather in Annan is even hotter, and they will spoil in a few days. It won't be too late to buy some more to take back with you when we return."
"I heard from Director Lu that Annan's coffee is very good, almost the same as our tea. I'll have someone brew some for you to try later."
Mu Xue bought two bags of Annan coffee in a shop run by descendants of the Celestial Empire.
This thing is very rare in China and is basically imported. In the past, it was only drunk by big capitalists. Mu Xue has never tasted it.
Now that she is in Annan, she doesn't have to worry about people talking about her or worrying about any bad influence. Mu Xue just wants to try this foreign thing.
I'm not being Westernized, I'm just simply curious about what the difference is between foreign tea and Chinese tea.
"Aunt Liu, take the coffee that the old lady bought and make it."
After dinner, Xiao Fuxing said to the staff who were cleaning up the dishes.
"Yes, sir."
Aunt Liu was also a miserable person. When she was young, the whole village was captured by the Japanese and taken to Annan to mine. The men lost their lives under the high-intensity labor.
After raising his two sons with great difficulty, they had to suffer oppression from the aristocracy in Annan.
After Annan was recovered, Aunt Liu immediately took her two sons to sign up and let them become police officers.
Xiao Fuxing also kept Aunt Liu and asked her to do what she could in the Governor's Mansion. The family could finally finally have a happy ending after suffering so much.
“It’s so bitter!”
Lin Wanru took a sip out of curiosity, and her little face immediately wrinkled.
"The shop owner praised it so highly, but it turns out coffee is just like this. It's a poor and remote place, and I've never tasted anything good."
Mu Xue also took a bite, frowned and shook her head.
Compared to the bitter and stimulating coffee, Chinese people prefer the softer taste and rich aroma of black tea and green tea.
"Mom, if you're not used to it, you can add some sugar or milk to neutralize it.
Coffee can refresh people, make them more focused, and improve work efficiency. I really like drinking it."
Xiao Fuxing personally added sugar and milk to everyone's cups and asked everyone to try it again.
"It's much better now, but I still think tea tastes better."
After adding sugar, the caffeine is neutralized a lot, and people can barely drink it.
"Fuxing, tea from the mainland can be shipped to Annan for sale. Tea is durable and easy to transport. The people of Annan will definitely like the tea from the mainland after drinking it."
After trying coffee, Mu Xue felt that Tianchao tea was a good thing.
"Mom, I not only need to transport finished tea, but also import tea trees.
Annan is mountainous and not suitable for growing crops, but perfect for growing tea trees."
Xiao Fuxing briefly repeated his thoughts.
"Grandson, is what your uncle said feasible?"
Mu Xue does not participate in politics and does not know much about this aspect.
"Grandma, my uncle's ideas are very good and will be very useful for Annan's development. They are all strategic plans that will benefit the present and future generations."
Yang Baiyi also praised Xiao Fuxing highly.
"Okay, okay!"
"When you came to Annan alone, I was a little worried. I didn't expect my son to grow up so fast and be able to handle things on his own."
Mu Xue looked at her son, unable to hide the pride in her eyes.
The next day, Yang Baiyi arranged tasks for the young men from the capital, all of which were within their capabilities and could be started immediately.
Handling general government work is not difficult at all for them who come from a family background and have been exposed to it since childhood.
The elders in their families are all powerful figures, and they have been exposed to family training since childhood, which is their advantage.
In the next few days, Yang Baiyi accompanied his family to travel around Annan, understanding the local customs and cultures, and visiting Annan's scenic spots and historical sites.
A week later, the people sent by Lu Kai came back to report that they had already grasped the strongholds of all opium families and the activities of their family members.
Yang Baiyi summoned Zhao Changzhi, Lu Kai, and Xiao Fuxing to hold a secret meeting.
The defenders from all over Annan were mobilized at once and surrounded several mountains in Annan.
