The large-scale investment of Jiangnan businessmen in the Nanyang Islands soon attracted the attention of the sensitive South China Sea businessmen, who were challenged by the Jiangnan businessmen at their own doorstep, how the industrially developed South China Sea businessmen could swallow this breath, and the South China Sea businessmen, not to be outdone, under the leadership of several major industrial and commercial families, also began to set foot in the investment in the Nanyang Islands, especially the investment in the new ports of Princesa Island and Vergne Island aroused the great interest of the South China Sea businessmen.

In order to encourage the development of the two pearls embedded in the Great South China Sea, the new port and wharf will be operated by joint-stock companies, and the representative of the Nanhai Governor's Office will hold 50 percent of the shares, and the land needed for the construction of the port and wharf on the two islands will be the share capital, while the remaining 50 percent of the shares will be purchased by the merchants and individuals who will build the port and wharf, and the political axe will not participate in the construction of the port and wharf and its future operation and management, and the construction and operation and management will be supervised and managed by the board of directors elected by the remaining 50 percent of the holders。

This good news also directly stimulated the merchants of Jiangnan and the South China Sea, in the battle for the control of the new port terminal on the island of Princesa and Vergne, the merchants of Jiangnan and the South China Sea launched a fierce competition, and finally the merchants of Jiangnan won the controlling stake in the port terminal of Princesa Island, and the merchants of the South China Sea also obtained the controlling stake in the island of Vergne.

The recovery of the power of the Jiangnan merchants is not only manifested in the interest in the Nanyang Islands, originally after the double blow of war and economic policy, the Songjiang textile industry began to recover again, the silk weaving industry represented by the Hua family began to build a large-scale new machine room to take the first step in the economic revival of the south of the Yangtze River, the first investment of the flower family immediately attracted the attention of the Jiangnan merchants, everyone knows that the flower family daughter Hua Yumei is in the harem of the Qin Queen, and the attitude of the Hua family to some extent also represents the attitude of His Royal Highness the King of Qin to the Jiangnan merchants, and soon there will be news that the western Xinjiang will be further encouraged like silk, porcelain, pottery, tea, jewelry, handicrafts and other such materials, and it is possible to greatly reduce or even cancel the luxury tax that has been levied since the founding of the empire for such materials exported outside the control area of Western Xinjiang, which soon won the pursuit of Jiangnan merchants, Jinhua's ceramics, Quanzhou's tea-making industry, Yuhang and Gusu handicraft manufacturing, Weiyang's jewelry industry has quickly set off a new round of investment boom, led by the Jiangnan Seven Industrial and Commercial Giants have expressed that they will spend huge sums of money to increase investment, and strive to make Jiangnan industries occupy a greater advantage in the competition in the same industry, expand foreign exports, and ensure that Jiangnan industrial and commercial industry in the empire of the leading position.

The three noble families led by the Wen family announced that they would spend huge sums of money to build the Jiangnan Shipyard, known as the largest shipyard in the empire, in Yuhang, and the newly built Jiangnan Shipyard will have 12 docks and have their own dedicated wharves. The director of the Military Affairs Administration and the new governor of Jiangnan will attend the inauguration ceremony of the shipyard, which is the three on the basis of the original Yuhang shipyard is ready to invest heavily in the expansion, of course, the military affairs bureau and the Xijiang Navy also promised to give more than ten large and medium-sized military ships to the Jiangnan shipyard every year in the next few years, the current premise is that the Jiangnan shipyard must further improve the shipbuilding capacity in digesting the existing shipbuilding technology of the original empire, and overwhelm the Japanese and Milanese in technology, so as to ensure that the ships in the west are advanced in terms of surname.

When Jiangnan and Wuhu ushered in the first dawn of Western Xinjiang, almost from the coast of the East to the shore of Dongting Lake was a cheer. The people of Wen Ning and Jinhua Sanfu were even more jubilant after learning that Situ Biao announced his dismissal, and spontaneously expressed his respect and gratitude to Situ Biao who announced his resignation, the clouds of civil war finally disappeared in these three prefectures, and even Situ Biao was speechless for a while after learning of the people's reaction after going into the wilderness, he did not expect that his move would win the respect that he had never won in the land of the Five Lakes, but how pale and helpless it was to win the support of the people in this way.

Although Xiao Tang began to prepare for taking over the management of Jiangnan and Wuhu as early as when Western Xinjiang had not yet sent troops to Wuhu, reserving cadres was the most important task, and after encountering the poison of the Situ family, Jiangnan and Wuhu were probably a dying scene, and in order to develop Jiangnan and Wuhu as soon as possible, it was necessary to have a large number of capable and energetic cadres to enrich the local political axe at the middle and grassroots level. Xiao Tang had long estimated the difficulty of this work, and coupled with the importance of Jiangnan and Wuhu for the future new dynasty, he began to select capable officials and cadres among the administrative officials in the entire western Xinjiang region as early as possible.

However, the phenomenon of lack of competent officials has been plaguing Western Xinjiang, although Northwest University can train a large number of students every year, but most of these students have no practical experience, and they cannot adapt to administrative management work in a short period of time, and it also takes a period of time to inspect and exercise them, not every student who graduated from Northwest University is a talent, Xiao Tang and Li Wufeng have surprising consensus on this point, both of them appreciate the kind of officials who have been sharpened in the middle and grass-roots political axes and then selected to enter the Northwest University for training。 Although a considerable part of the main officials of the Nanhai Dominion and Zhongnan County were produced locally, a considerable part of them were still sent from the western Xinjiang, especially the Zhongnan County, in view of the fierce folk customs and economic backwardness in this area, and the complex ethnic composition, in addition to appointing Jin Ning, who had served as the director of intelligence, as the governor, three of the five prefectures under its jurisdiction were sent by the western Xinjiang to serve as city guards, and most of the officials of the various bureaus under the government were from the western Xinjiang.

The Beiyuan and Heshuo regions have not been attached for a long time, and the two war-torn counties are also seriously deficient in the demand for officials, in terms of official appointments, Xiao Tang and Mo Lun tend to prefer shortage to abuse, Mo Lun did not relax the supervision of officials because of the shortage of officials, and the personnel of the Supervision Department under the Legal Affairs Department have expanded several times, one by one like wolf dogs with a keen sense of smell to spy on the secrets of officials, which also makes Xiao Tang more cautious and cautious in appointing officials. The two counties of Beiyuan and Heshuo still did not have a separate county, and the affairs of each prefecture were managed by the governors of the two counties of Northwest and Kansai respectively, which was also a problem that needed to be solved urgently, without a unified plan, the economic development of the two counties was inevitably greatly affected, but in the case of the tense war in the early stage, neither Wufeng nor Xiao Tang had much energy to ask about this matter, and now with the clarity of the war situation and the easing of the situation, these matters have also been put on the agenda.

The speed of the annexation of Jiangnan and Wuhu greatly exceeded Xiao Tang's expectations, and even Wufeng did not expect that Jiangnan and Wuhu would become so easy and fast to incorporate into his rule, but this also brought many problems, because during the period when Jiangnan and Wuhu provinces were controlled by Situ Tai and Situ Biao, almost all the administrative officials of each province were controlled by the descendants of Situ and Situ's sons, and with the collapse of the Situ family's rule in these two regions, the real Jiangnan Wuhu and Thirteen Prefectures needed to be adjusted on a large scale, which was also a means that must be taken to stabilize the rule, which also made Xiao Tang, who was a little caught off guard, feel even more tricky。

The special situation of the Jiangnan and Wuhu regions also made Xiao Tang dare not easily dispatch officials, these areas are more economically developed than the original ruling areas of Western Xinjiang, and in order to make Jiangnan and Wuhu quickly recover and develop, it is necessary to evaluate the ability of the administrative officials who preside over the overall situation of one side, especially as the county guard of Jiangnan and Wuhu counties. Originally, Wu Feng intended to let Liao Qichang and Chang Gui continue to serve as the two county guards, but Liao Chang and the two of them politely refused Wu Feng's request, they were willing to help the new county guards work in the role of advisers, but they were unwilling to hold the position of county guards again, which made Wu Feng feel a little disappointed and also increased his respect for the two, after all, after being included in the new regime, they do need a new atmosphere, and those who are completely loyal to themselves can implement their own policies more freely, and the two veterans who have been up and down in the political arena for decades are very clear about this, and it should be the most appropriate to decline this position but fully express their willingness to support and cooperate with the new county guard。

In view of the important surnames of Jiangnan and Wuhu status, after Liao Qichang and Chang Gui, who had arrived in Hanzhong together, had a long talk, Xiao Tang officially nominated Li Wufeng for Wang Zongxi to serve as the governor of Jiangnan County, and Su Minshun to serve as the governor of Wuhu County, Lu Zhonglin, director of the administration of Jinzhou Prefecture, served as the city guard of Jinhua Prefecture, and Yan Qing, director of the Internal Affairs Department of Longdong Prefecture, served as the city guard of Anyuan Prefecture.

The series of appointments is dazzling, but even with a large number of personnel adjustments and appointments, there are still as many as a dozen prefectures without city guards, and some important prefectures and counties such as Gusu, Weiyang, Huzhou, Songjiang, Jiujiang, Huanggang, Baling, Anqing, Wenning, Hejian, Shuangdui, Qinghe, Longquan, and so on are still in a state of vacancy.
