Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 443 Status Quo of the Territory

The taste of Navy's baked beans was much better than Huang Jiang expected, with a very strong flavor of tomato juice.

"This is Ms. Hood's specialty." Prestige looked at the beans in Lexington's hands, and he knew who the author was.

After all, the people in charge of meals in the Deacon Mansion are either Lexington or Shirayuki Fubuki. None of them know how to cook such simple dishes. I guess the only one is Miss Hood.

It's the only thing she can do.

Reputation added in his heart.

"Hood is very satisfied with it." Lexington came back, and he naturally gave up his seat. Lexington blinked and sat down without any false politeness.

"After all, it was the dish that she won in the cooking competition that year." Shengsheng said with a smile.

As he spoke, Shengsheng came to Huang Jiang's side and bent over to fill Huang Jiang's cup with coffee.

Huang Jiang wanted to stop him, but Lexington glared at him.

Prestige didn't feel much, and after putting down the coffee pot, he naturally stood beside Huang Jiang.

Oh my god, why do you feel like a noble man?

Huang Jiang glanced at the head maid standing next to him, and felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu in his heart.

Lexington covered his mouth.

This is a laugh!Madam, you must be laughing!
Huang Jiang has already confirmed this in his heart.

"Hu De actually excelled in cooking." Huang Jiang quickly retracted his gaze from Sheng Sheng and asked while sipping the white porridge.

"We did win." Reputation said with a smile, "But London won..."

What's there to be proud of!
"London also made baked beans at that time." Lexington seemed to recall a very unpleasant past, trembling slightly and said, "But she didn't use tomato juice."

Lexington paused and said, "It's said to be for technological innovation, and I used sour bamboo shoot juice."

"Sour bamboo shoot...juice?" Huang Jiang hesitated.

"You guessed it right, it's the sour bamboo shoots in the snail noodles." Lexington said.

Huang Jiang thought of the strange smell, and it was engraved in his bones: "It does not smell good, but the taste...is okay?"

To be honest, Huang Jiang had never eaten it. He only beat up his roommate who was cooking snail noodles in the dormitory, but it was not just him, but several other people.

It's a very intimate interaction, and the name is Aruba.

"But no one dares to taste it." Lexington covered his nose and said, "Ning Hai and the others don't dare either."

"Huh?" Huang Jiang was stunned for a moment.

Reputation added on the side: "London thought the taste was too bland, so he added canned herring juice."

"..."

Huang Jiang looked at the white porridge in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Let's avoid this topic for now?" "Agree." Lexington nodded.

Huang Jiang chatted with Lexington and gradually returned his attention to the newspaper in his hand.

This is the "Garland Daily News" purchased by Lexington in Garland. The front page of the newspaper is about Huang Jiang. It was Huang Jiang who led the blue side to make a miraculous comeback and win the joint exercise.

The newspaper page also included a photo of Huang Jiang and the ship girls when they returned to Jialan. Judging from the clarity of the photo, it was obviously a photographer deliberately arranged by Lexington.

"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Huang Jiang said with a guilty conscience.

Newspapers almost touted Huang Jiang as the only god of war for the blue side, which was not true. Huang Jiang only seized an opportunity, and the enemies he faced did not have any sea souls in formation except for a few sea gods. The main pressure on the army is on Hesse.

"People will only see what they want to see." Lexington said bluntly. "Forcing to remain observable in this regard will only weaken people's perception of the news. And it's not a boast, right? It's just that some details are not mentioned. That’s all.”

Details are something that people tend to overlook, but a few missing details can fundamentally change the nature of a piece of news. This is the routine that Lexington and Hood are most familiar with.

There is nothing wrong with the report, what is written is the truth, but some things are not mentioned.

Huang Jiang shrugged and didn't express any concern about it. He didn't have any burden in his heart. He just mentioned what he just said casually.

He flipped through it and came to the second page, which contained some introductions to the latest policies of Jialan Daily. They all used the most simple sentences. In some places, simple examples were used to explain. Jialan Daily has always been benchmarking. It is not for the upper class. It is a newspaper for everyone. Naturally, it has to make some compromises for some people who are not well educated and have just become literate.

Jialanling's latest policy still follows the development trajectory set by the Yellow River. Except for agriculture on Wutou Island, which will not give up, almost all territories have begun to move towards industrialization.

The Deacon House strongly advocates the popularization of machines, and the popularization of machines naturally requires the improvement of the quality of the labor force. Operators cannot be simple manual labor and need to receive a certain amount of training. Training also increases education expenditures. At least the literacy rate must be Go up.

To be honest, because of this demand, the Deacon Mansion's money bag has been very tight recently, giving Hood a big headache.

Until Huangjiang, this is all part of the pains of development, but it is impossible to completely pass on the pains and costs to the factory owners, because this is the request of the Deacon House of Huangjiang, and it is not the factory owners who are eager to carry out transformation. .

In their view, Huang Jiang's actions are undoubtedly meaningless, because some things have already been done by manpower, so why develop machines.

Of course, Huang Jiang couldn't tell these factory owners who only needed to satisfy the regional market before about the huge productivity needed after the integration of the federal big market in the future.This is a scene that the people of the Federation have never seen before. The newly born market monster can swallow up all the goods produced. Only those who can keep up with its rhythm can survive this wave.

Huang Jiang hopes that most of the factories in his territory can develop in an orderly manner and connect to the huge future market without any disturbance.

But this is almost impossible, because people have limitations after all.

In order to prepare to seize the market, Huang Jiang must improve the productivity of the entire Jialan. Under the condition that human resources cannot break through in a short time, he can only go further and vigorously develop machines.

However, it was very difficult to implement this kind of behavior in Jialan. Hood had to subsidize the factories that responded to the Deacon Mansion and bear about [-]% of the machine costs for them.

This is a quite expensive expenditure, especially after Huang Jiang returns.

Most of the huge profits that came from Haikongxing were swallowed up by this giant beast almost instantly.

However, the price of Huangjiang Zhizhi is worth it.

Compared with the existing money, occupying a large market is sitting on a mountain of gold.

Among them, those who have benefited the most are undoubtedly the newly built factories on Iliao Island, Violet Island and Maran Island. Almost all of them were established by the Deacon's Palace investing money and land, and businessmen providing technology and machinery. Most of them are in the machinery manufacturing industry.
