Chapter 121: Development and Accidents
If you want to get rich and build roads first, it is already common sense in the world, and it is impossible to do anything under the premise of inconvenient transportation.
If there are no roads, the five-year plan and the 10-year revitalization will be empty talk, and the labor and natural resources will be trapped in the villages, rotten in the mountains, and the merchants who promote the circulation of goods and culture will not be able to enter.
In a certain part of the world, the colonizers could not build roads to develop the local economy.
Roads are the lifeblood of the national economy, and if you grasp the lifeblood, you can naturally absorb all kinds of resources and benefits.
It's vague to say, after all, colonial bloodsucking is relatively indirect and hidden, but now the situation in the Great Harait Wasteland is in front of you.
This train track is neither the most worry-free straight line, nor the most scientific road according to the topography, but the most profitable and important route.
Along the way, it passed through seven small and medium-sized towns and touched thirty-seven large and medium-sized mines, basically in the shallow inhabited areas of the wasteland, horizontally and vertically.
The labor, goods, and supplies of the two cities can travel by train to and from the mining areas and towns, and the harvested ores, materials, and resources can be sent back to the city, which is the lifeblood of industry and the blood vessel of the economy.
Transporting goods in peacetime, transporting troops in wartime, when encountering threats, the railway can run away with civilians and resources, and magic armor and all kinds of magic armor machinery can also be deployed at the fastest speed.
With its ontology and radiation zone as the core, that area will become the control area of the Ish people, as long as it can develop steadily, accumulate and infiltrate bit by bit, and gradually lay down the small and medium-sized towns and railway network, it will become a real actual control area.
Compared with the grass platform team that started the business back then, this kind of bigwig church that has been in business for a hundred years not only has a huge investment, but also has more skillful methods.
Over the years, how to operate, how to invest, and how to make profits have formed a set of effective wasteland reclamation system, and Rorschach also knew back then, but they didn't have the ability to take it down.
It's not just the investment in land reclamation and the technical capital, in the final analysis, it's a huge investment.
Due to the existence of the thunder season, the annual working period is only less than half a year, and there are still wages and labor expenditures during the thunder season, and the damaged mining areas and towns must be maintained and cleaned up after the thunder season, and the investment is even more huge.
After a little calculation, Rorschach knew whether it was a huge investment that could not raise a third of the huge investment by tying up all the churches in the past, or whether it was impossible to receive a return in a short period of time.
But I have to say that in the past two years, this railway project has driven the development of the entire city.
The newcomers to Seymour don't know anything, but they still have the strength, and they can work hard to process railroad tracks, erect rails and build roads, and they will become skilled workers after working for a few months, and other industries can also enter.
The large demand for labor has brought a large number of job opportunities, and job opportunities are the entry point for individuals to integrate into society, and professional vocational training includes language, basic teaching, magic, science and other projects, although they are all very simple and superficial.
It seems complicated, but it's actually as simple as how to turn on and off the lights, the four arithmetic, and the scientific reasons for the formation of clouds.
There is nothing more important than a job that allows them to integrate into the Ash society and recognize their habits and values.
When the Seymour people who settled in the country left the fur of their ancestors, wore suits and work clothes to and from work, played ball, watched TV programs and listened to songs during their breaks, and saved money to buy a house, a car, and a mobile phone, they naturally became a part of society.
When the original tribal shaman's mysterious explanation of the ancestral spirits and nature's angry natural disasters is explained by the rational theories in the textbooks, perhaps this is not the magical witchcraft and potions that can interpret the shaman, but the views such as "what the shaman said are right" and "the ancestral spirit is supreme" are quietly shattered.
The original values were shattered, new faith choices were given, job opportunities were provided, and the culture and enjoyment of the Ash people were exposed, and the simple heart changed unusually fast.
Once people start questioning, they can't stop at all, and the complete change in lifestyle makes Seymour people realistic.
New Tonia City is not a charitable organization, as a collection of SBN churches, it is natural that they should make collecting faith their first priority.
It's just a very simple difference, the believers of Ash God pay an extra 10% salary subsidy, take more than half a day off for prayer days a week, have a church organization to send warmth when they are sick or unwell, and organize some blind dates on festivals, people are very realistic, especially ordinary people who are not satisfied with real life.
"What's the use of the tribe's set? Can you eat, drink, see a doctor, or divide the room?"
"Take refuge! Take refuge! A mobile phone card printed with the oath of my god and the holy emblem, click to send!"
"Convert! Convert! Believe in my God, give food stamps, and give movie tickets!"
The big church is full, and the small church is fed.
Especially the original shares of the first-level churches at the beginning, they have gained a lot, and even the rookies who can't operate can also take advantage of the crazy wave of new people and converts to become second-level churches.
It is worth mentioning that today's game church is already a third-level church, or which of the top third-level churches has surpassed the unsightly silver elf god of war on the spot.
In less than five years, from nothing to a third-level church, the game church can be regarded as refreshing history.
This is not the seed of some great power, and the game church is all on its own.
With such a big project from scratch, the most unbelievable thing is that it has successfully entered the income period, and the carp jumped into the dragon gate in one step, saving at least 30 years of hard development.
For a while, the game church also gained a lot of prestige, and even many big gods handed olive branches, and the Rorschach brothers and sisters finally entered the eyes of some bigwigs.
Naturally, there is additional investment, and because there are more choices, more investors to choose from, and fewer restrictions, the church is still in the hands of Lori and Rorschach.
Of course, this kind of attention is "I heard that there is a good seedling in the south", "Is that brother and sister of the Lan family? "This kind of neighbor's child class is valued.
Expectation, valuation, disdain, and many emotions are there, but at least they are no longer a passer-by without a reputation.
As for how it developed to this point, ....... cough, it's really too far, probably enough to write another book, which involves the original development strategy and accidents, and it can only be said that the game church now has its own set of industries.
The focus of the moment is still the current development route, and it is also the hottest news in the city at the moment.
".................After two years of hard work and such a price, the Horn Winter Line has finally started, and under the leadership of the Board of Directors, our tomorrow will be better!"
It's really a chatter about Siphilos, and you can also give an impromptu speech when you cut the ribbon.
Holding scissors and posing, the reporters hurried to take pictures, and the crunch sound of clicks continued.
"It's a bit of a bit of a no-brainer. ”
Although he complained in his mouth, since Rorschach came, he was still working seriously.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in my ears.
Rorschach turned around and found the camera of a tall Seymour reporter, sparking.
"For the freedom of the Seymours! We Seymour Liberation Organization ........"
Halfway through the slogan, he was stunned, and a high-ranking swordsman suddenly appeared, turning it into minced meat, and then there was a scream.
And not far ahead, there was no comment on the chatter just now.
A huge gap appeared in his head, if he hadn't prepared for the lich transformation, the rotating city lord would probably have to change shifts again.
"yes, in three months, although the odds are not high, I have earned it!lucky! and the headline 'the shortest city lord in history', is he a week or two weeks?"
In the midst of the chaos, Rorschach seized the opportunity to take pictures, and the two corpses were photographed repeatedly, and the panicked fellow reporters were on camera.
"Yes, yes, the best location and the best first-hand photos, which can be used as headlines, this time it was not in vain. There is also a gambling money in hand, you can add dinner tonight, or invite guests to Apple's new restaurant, I owe Suna several favors to repay........ Isabella will forget it, and now she will definitely lose the bet. ”
The assassination of the city lord is politically comparable to the major event of the crypt disaster of the year, but Rorschach treats it very normally, and is still thinking about where to eat at night.
The more mature a social structure is, the less dependent it is on a certain individual, and Sidney will be in chaos if the corner city is dead, but Rorschach at this time is still thinking about tomorrow's news headlines.
