Chapter 413: How To Manage A Country (1)

Although the birth of Zhang Ziming and Ziyue didn't make it to the public and media, the fact didn't prevent Jason Deng from creating a memorable celebration day out of nowhere.

For the next two days, everyone was given a two-day paid leave regardless of their profession. All business establishments also had a 50% discount subsidized by the government supporting the announced public holiday.

And about a week later, the festive mood finally ended.

The two infants also went through a series of health checks to ensure they were completely healthy. Even their mother had to go through all of these tedious bodychecks while Zhang Qin Feng was in a parliament meeting with Jason Deng.

He might have no political rights in this country, but that was just from the surface. As this country was literally his, he could decide to do anything with it. From restricting a particular faction from entering the country to suspending all their activities, Zhang Qin Feng has the power to abuse all his rights.

Inside the Marianna's Parliament Hall.

"Sir," it was a meeting of twenty-five representatives responsible for the Democratic Country of Marianna. Jason Deng was also included in these twenty-five people with the highest political authority. As for the person they respectfully address before them, is naturally Zhang Qin Feng.

"Get back to your seats, everyone. And be at ease. This is an order." said Zhang Qin Feng with a smile on his expression.

In this gap of a week without meeting anyone else, Zhang Qin Feng has all the time he wanted to investigate everything related to the Marianna itself. From business to politics, public opinion, and national interest, he was able to go through all of them in detail before setting up this meeting.

After ensuring that everyone was seated comfortably, Zhang Qin Feng gave the big roundtable a tap. This allowed the electronic devices hidden inside the table to be revealed for their uses.

Although the technology here was nothing surprising, it was still extraordinary in the eyes of an ordinary politician like them. They had long known about Zhang Qin Feng's mysterious ability and achievement, but it was still a surprise when things happened right in front of them.

I want to start with food first. Who amongst you can give me an answer regarding our country's food supply and reserve currently?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

"Sir, it's me. Your permission to speak freely, please," one of them raised his hand. From the number of paperwork in his hand, it seems he has been preparing for the presentation today for the day Zhang Qin Feng made his appearance in Marianna.

"Permitted." Zhang Qin Feng replied.

"Thank you, sir." the representative stood up and comfortably pulled the tablet computer wider until it reached the measurement of a 16" display. With a larger display area, the information on the display was also more precise.

"Before starting, I would like to make sure that everyone present understands. The presentation today was just an estimated figure based on Marianna's last five years, due to the huge disparity in the record."

"At present, our country's food production was increased by 2,500% compared to the agricultural report five years ago. At our highest capacity, the nation itself is capable of supplying a month's worth of dry and wet goods daily."

"Our food preservation technology also matured by leap and bounds, in which we believed that 70% of the food we produced can be kept fresh for five years and above. As for meat products, we're confident that their shelf-life won't be any lesser than two years."

"Also, for clarification, the longevity of the food's shelf-life was based on predicted daily temperature, and not in the subzero state. This means, in the like of electronic warfare or chemical destruction, the food reserve can still be kept fresh and edible between two to five years."

"And with this, I end my presentation on the positive report related to Food, Agriculture, and Husbandry. Do anyone here have any question before I continue with the next section of my report?" the representative asked.

And since nobody raised their hand up, it was time for the second part of his presentation.

"I will be continuing then." said the representative.

"While our country's own production, agriculture, and food reserve is steadily rising, the problem with varieties still remains. The limited arable land allocated for certain exotic or profitable produce has significantly impeded our nation's personal growth, especially in the agricultural sector."

"Compared to the other countries, only three new breeds of agriculture products were developed locally. The Marianna is currently positioned at 254th amongst the 255 countries worldwide in agriculture."

"Also in the question was the way the custom handle outside goods. I would like to suggest a different policy on handling raw and prepared edibles before coming into our country." the representative said. His presentation stopped right here as he knew there was something he'd have to clear before proceeding to the next slide.

"Trades, Export, and Import Office?" Zhang Qin Feng took a glimpse over the twenty-three other people present in this room, and soon, another representative stood up with his hand raised.

"Present, sir." he quickly answered Zhang Qin Feng's call.

"What is the current policy in practice when it comes to raw and prepared foods in the import and export side?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

"Sir, as for now, our policy towards food coming from the outside has been very lenient on imports. But some restriction was still applied due to the disagreement in the trade tariff. As for exports, our main clientele was the New Panem, Han Country, and Dongcheng."

"Barely 10% of our agriculture goods were sought after by the four alliances. Even if they did, the tariff applied to our products was ridiculous. We always ended up unable to sell them throughout the freighter's journey." said the representative.

"Food representative." Zhang Qin Feng called.

"Yes, sir," the representative quickly responded to Zhang Qin Feng.

"Where was the highest demand for outside goods comes from?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

"From the report here, it was the body of expatriates migrated or based here from their main office." the representative answered.

"And what's the percentage that these people comes from Dongcheng, Han Country, and New Panem?" the question and answer session continued.

"Zero, sir." the representative said.

"That explains everything." Zhang Qin Feng chuckled.
