Ever since they decided to stay in Mexico, Angie and Chanrad's investigation trip was destined to be uneventful.
First of all, when he learned that his daughter wanted to inspect Mexico under the rule of the Aurora Legion, Father Lawrence, who was far away in New York, did not object, but he was worried about his daughter's safety.
David Lawrence not only asked the Legion to absolutely ensure Anji's safety, but also sent a security force of more than 100 people. But Zhou Qingfeng actually agreed to such an excessive thing.
It's just that every time she goes out, she is surrounded by more than a hundred people. No matter where she goes, Anji is like a monkey in the zoo. As long as she appears, others will stop what they are doing and look at her, and she doesn't even have the chance to talk to ordinary people.
nothing.
Without direct communication, there would be no inspection. After the bad experience lasted for two or three days, Anji strongly requested that the number of security personnel following him be reduced.
However, the current security crackdown in Mexico has not yet been completed. Both cities and villages are full of various thugs. A beggar who seems to have no ability to attack may go crazy and attack because of extreme hunger, let alone others.
So Zhou Qingfeng simply opened up his administrative system and let Anji understand how the Aurora Legion operates, so that it would be safer.
In Anji's opinion, this is too boring. She has experienced the whole process of her father's founding of the New York Brotherhood. She is not familiar with the administrative system, but she is also familiar with it, and there is nothing new. Especially since Zhou Qingfeng cannot open up key departments, and
She was sent to the Ministry of Agriculture.
"This place is really shabby, small and a bit messy." Standing in front of the office building of the Ministry of Agriculture, Angie, who has always been a delicate little princess, has no favorable impression of this department. In her eyes, the administrative department is extremely boring.
Since Zhou Qingfeng required all departments of the Legion to work together to improve administrative efficiency, the Ministry of Agriculture could only find a few ordinary-looking buildings near the Legion headquarters at Locust Ridge as office locations.
Minister of Agriculture Deng Chengwen has become like an old farmer, unlike Miss Fox, who has strict requirements on the appearance of his subordinates, so the people who come and go in and out of the Ministry of Agriculture do not look so beautiful and handsome - each one looks more rustic than the last.
"It would be great for a small force to have this kind of scale." A white man in military uniform followed Anji, his tone of voice full of certainty but full of ridicule. "Ms. Anji, you can't hold anything against Mexico.
Expectations are too high, and the forces that rule here have always been poor."
Angie asked to reduce the number of obstructive security personnel around him, so the guard captain Eugene followed with seven or eight of his men. In the eyes of this white man, Victor Hugo, who ruled Mexico, was like an indigenous chief, with some abilities but still
Not as good as white people.
It was not that Eugene had never heard of various magical rumors about the Aurora Legion, but the Aurora Legion in his imagination should be that the top brass lived in splendid mansions, raising a large number of arrogant troops and imposing martial law everywhere. The people at the bottom had no food to eat and no clothing.
Cover your body and wait for the day of redemption.
And now seeing that the top management of the Aurora Legion is not very good, Eugene is even more convinced that the entire Legion must be a bunch of poor people. In his opinion, wealth naturally accumulates in the hands of those in power. Now look at the people in power.
Being so poor, the people at the bottom are naturally even worse off.
"What are the capabilities of poor people?" What Eugene was thinking of was the poor people wandering around in the cities around New York. Those who can't do anything and can only rely on relief to make a living are considered rubbish in the eyes of the higher-ups.
The older Chandra did not comment on the dilapidated Ministry of Agriculture building and the simple to rustic Ministry of Agriculture staff. He asked Anji to go ahead and enter the Legion Ministry of Agriculture.
Minister of Agriculture Deng Chengwen was very busy during this period, but when he learned that Anji had arrived, he had to come out to greet her. Not only did this charming girl have a profound background, but she was also a distinguished guest sent by the army commander for inspection, so he had to spare half an hour to receive her.
"Hello, Minister Deng. My name is Angelina Lawrence, you can call me Angie." The young and beautiful Angie is as beautiful as a socialite before the catastrophe. She hung a camera around her neck like a reporter.
, I took a photo of Deng Chengwen when we met.
"Hello, Miss Lawrence." Deng Chengwen took the initiative to shake hands and invited Anji and his party to sit down in the office. Anji seemed elegant and generous, but he thought cautiously to himself: The boss has the right to call you Anji, so I will die if I call you Anji too.
.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Anji asked straight to the point: "Mr. Minister, I heard that you have recently raised a large number of agricultural tools and equipment to restart agricultural production in Mexico. Is this your main job at the moment?"
"Oh, we are indeed distributing some farm tools in large quantities..." Deng Chengwen said this and was suddenly interrupted.
Eugene, who was following Anji, deliberately whispered to the side: "Just some shovels, shovels, and even hammers and nails. There are mostly hand tools, and a small amount of mechanical equipment is also very old and dilapidated. It can be imagined that the production efficiency here will be very high.
Low."
After speaking, Eugene deliberately held his head high, waiting for Deng Chengwen on the opposite side to refute him. After all, agricultural production in North America is currently returning to the state of mechanized large-scale production, and the two are not the same in terms of scale and efficiency.
But Deng Chengwen just smiled and nodded, frankly admitting that the farm tools currently distributed by the army are very crude.
Anji glanced at Eugene beside him, but continued to smile calmly at Deng Chengwen: "Mr. Minister, please continue. I am very interested in the agricultural development of the legion, and I believe that Victor's subordinates are all real
A doer.”
Deng Chengwen didn't take it seriously, "The main tasks of our department at present are to clean up Mexican farmland and agricultural facilities that have been abandoned for more than two years, collect and repair various agricultural machinery and tools, and solve the supply problems of fertilizers and pesticides. Of course, the most critical thing is to train agricultural workers
technical personnel to build an agricultural service network.”
Anji's heart suddenly moved. These words seemed to be the same as the Brotherhood's agricultural policy, but they seemed to be somewhat different.
Chandra, the economist who had been silent all this time, asked: "How do you train agricultural technicians?"
"Open a school and provide short-term training." Deng Chengwen said.
Eugene immediately laughed and said: "To carry out literacy in a country full of illiterates? Or to transfer all the few educated people in the city to the countryside? Believe me, this is not feasible. The real solution is to use the market to solve the problem.
problem and let the market allocate resources freely."
When it came to the market, Eugene seemed to be an expert. However, after a few words, he found Angie and Chandra staring at him, so he could only lower his tone and said: "Sorry, Miss Lawrence, I didn't mean to offend.
But before I came, your father specifically told me to remind you more during the inspection. He was worried that you would be deceived. He was especially worried that you were too young to distinguish right from wrong and took other people's nonsense as the truth. You know now
There are so many liars.”
Anji's beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a little annoyance: "Thank you Mr. Eugene for your concern, but I am an adult and I am not a child who doesn't understand anything."
After stuffing a soft nail into Eugene, Anji turned back to look at Deng Chengwen. She asked with a puzzled tone: "Your Excellency, Minister, please forgive me, I understand that all policies are very good when they are introduced, but let
The smooth implementation of policies still depends on people.
Our brotherhood encounters all kinds of troubles when implementing its policies. For example, you just said that you need to become illiterate, which is probably not an easy task."
Literacy is not only not easy, but also extremely difficult. It is so difficult that most countries in the world are illiterate. It is so difficult that even the United States has a large number of illiterates, regardless of whether they are black or white.
Regarding this issue, Deng Chengwen had only one sentence, "This matter is indeed not easy. We mainly rely on administrative orders to force promotion."
