Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1270 - 719: How Great the Contribution, How Deep the Love
Chapter 1270: Chapter 719: How Great the Contribution, How Deep the Love
Jason Morgan is also an elder of the Alliance.
Back when the Alliance was just starting out on Rage Owl Star, Jason Morgan was the head of the first province established.
He himself was indeed quite capable, and if there were no unexpected occurrences, his political career would have been smooth sailing.
Unfortunately, the Alliance’s first major corruption case happened under his jurisdiction. Although he himself had no issues, he still bore the leadership responsibility, which greatly affected his promotion path thereafter.
Otherwise, he would have already been a high-ranking official at the Central Empire of the Alliance by now.
But in the end, he was a seasoned fighter, and his capabilities were enhanced through the process of managing a planet, and later a Star Sector, especially during his tenure in the Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector, where he performed quite well.
He secured an Alliance battle cruiser named after the capital of the Steel Fire Dragon, Ronglin Star, gaining a good reputation and winning over the locals, making them proud of their association with the Alliance; afterwards, he also strengthened ties with the most important planet within the Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector—Founding World Jindi Star.
In the past, under the conventional Empire system, although the various worlds of the Steel Fire Dragon were under Empire jurisdiction, due to their proximity to the Founding World, they were naturally heavily influenced by the Founding World.
Which wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
The “old hands” of the Founding World never cared much about places outside their homeland. These places served as a shield for the Founding World, as resource acquisition sites, fiefdoms for Knight Families, and exile places for those who failed in political struggles…
But overall, they weren’t places meant for proper development.
Extensive, exploitative management left the development of these planets less than desirable.
The Alliance certainly would not allow this situation to continue.
The Mingyang Sect initially had quite a few criticisms about this, but soon stopped caring. All they wanted was security and abundant resources. The Alliance could fully guarantee both, leaving no need to continue clinging to these planets.
In this regard, the proximity between the Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector and Jindi Star showed its advantages: they could undertake many tasks serving Jindi Star, from providing consumer goods to services, even labor export.
Besides, they could locally receive substantial foreign investments from Jindi Star, or investment attraction, and undertake some manageable low-end industrial orders from Jindi Star.
Plus, acting as a transit hub for trade between the Alliance and the Mingyang Sect…
With little developmental funding from the Alliance’s center, Jason Morgan wisely leveraged geographic advantages to rapidly bring many worlds of the Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector into industrialization and commercialization.
After more than a decade of development, today’s Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector has become the region in the Dragonhawk Star Domain second only to the Seven Horse Territory and Yunluo Center. It is gradually showing signs of becoming a third center. Its developmental momentum has extended beyond the Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector itself, covering two or three nearby Star Sectors that used to belong to the Mingyang Sect’s sphere of influence.
In this series of efforts, the outstanding leadership of Jason Morgan played an indispensable role.
A capable, experienced, and meritorious regional governor naturally gains promotions.
Past blemishes can no longer hold him back from advancing further.
Now, he has become the Star Domain Governor of the Fox Moon Star Domain.
The first thing he did upon arriving at the Fox Moon Star Domain was to clearly analyze the basics of Fox Moon, as well as the goals he needed to achieve, to better plan the subsequent work.
His most important and core goal is to improve productivity.
Whether it is to ensure the Fox Moon Star Domain Government has more financial surplus or to enhance the overall living quality of the Fox Moon Star Domain populace, stronger productivity support is necessary.
And to boost productivity, the new Alliance Star Domain Government must strengthen control over the entire Star Domain.
The local forces, be they companies, landlords, or feudal lords, as well as the remnants of the Imperial Bureaucratic Institution… in Jason Morgan’s view, they are all stumbling blocks hindering the development of productivity, and he wishes to clear them all at once, then deploy civil servants and administrative officials from the core area of the Alliance to take over the entire Star Domain, so that he can operate it smoothly.
But evidently, that is impossible.
If he insists on clearing these groups, who knows how many years that would take. While it’s not impossible, the duration is too long, and by then, his achievements in Fox Moon Star Domain might not just be mediocre; he might even cause great disappointment to the Alliance’s center.
If he wants to quickly make the entire Star Domain’s forces work for him, then negotiation, compromise, and interest exchange are indispensable.
He has to pinch his nose and endure for the moment.
Mutually enduring for the sake of the country, indeed.
In this regard, Jason Morgan is quite experienced.
Throughout his decades of work experience, dealing with stubborn conservative interest groups has constituted a large part of it.
Moreover, many experiences are applicable because the political environment faced is similar: the regions to which he was appointed belonged to newly acquired Lands of the Alliance, and the Alliance held ultimate authority over these lands.
In the past, Gu Hang was the Head of the Dragonhawk Star Domain appointed by the Empire’s center, and as the appointed Star Zone Leader, Jason Morgan was naturally the highest legitimate officer. Now, in the Fox Moon Star Domain, he is also the Star Domain Head appointed by Cosmic Domain Chair Gu Hang, similarly with full legitimacy.
