After the agreement is signed.

The clouds of war have disappeared for the time being.

The forces that have been closely following the progress of this conflict do not dare to conclude that in the end the other side will win.

But at least for now, Zhenlin City, which suffered minor losses, undoubtedly achieved an extremely brilliant victory.

The forces of all parties have lost their glasses.

In Jinyan City, two different family dramas are being staged everywhere.

"Chixing Mountain lost, the immortals actually lost! Zhenlin City, which was bound to lose, actually won?!"

"How can such a ridiculous thing happen in this world?

"Demons, those guys in Zhenlin City are not people at all, they are a group of demons!"

"It's over, my glassware sales agency in 10 cities will definitely be taken away by Zhenlin City, Zhenlin City is in trouble, I didn't help when I got promoted, the agency will definitely be taken away, it's over!"

"Zhenlincheng said at the beginning that it is good to go with them, and if you don't follow, there will be no ...... Knowing that this would be the case, the Tu family would definitely send all the family monks to help that town in Lin City!"

Countless voices were annoyed, regretful, and extremely worried, for fear that Zhenlin City would take back the agency rights of all kinds of commodities that could bring a lot of benefits.

Naturally, there were also a few voices celebrating and ecstatic, and there was a boiling within the family.

"My Yang family can share weal and woe with Zhenlin City, Zhenlin City will definitely value my Yang family and give the Yang family greater benefits!"

"Zhenlin City is so strong, the immortals are not afraid at all, the small strength contributed by my Jin family will definitely be able to be exchanged for infinite returns!

"After this battle, Zhenlin City has no power to restrict, my Gao family should follow in the footsteps of Zhenlin City, get out of this small Jinyan City, and obtain greater benefits. ”

The head of the Gao family looked at him like a torch, and muttered: "Perhaps, with that town in Lin City, one day, I mortal can also be compared with immortals." ”

……

No matter how the forces of all parties evaluate and discuss, on the side of Zhenlin City, after the state of war readiness was lifted, all production activities have fully returned to normal.

The lives of millions of city citizens have returned to peace.

At this time, Zhou Ming was mainly busy with two things.

One, Zhou Ming, who has been sitting in the position of the head of the city for ten years, has only two months left before his term expires, and he plans to move his ass and support the newcomer to take the position and serve as the head of Zhenlin City.

But this matter, which followed a fixed procedure, attracted a lot of opposition.

It's not just that the 24 city councilors don't want him to step down, but it's Yang Zheng, the successor that Zhou Ming values and has cultivated for many years, and he has also found him many times in private, saying that he is only shallow, immoral and incompetent, and manages such a big city, and the city is nearly forty years old, and he is still young, and he hopes to serve two more terms!

What's more, the crisis in Zhenlin City has not been completely resolved, and once Chixingshan tears up the agreement and suddenly targets Zhenlin City, Zhenlin City may not be able to deal with it.

In short, as the backbone of millions of people in Zhenlin City, no one hopes that the founder of Zhenlin City will step down early.

There are even quite a few people who do not understand the so-called "tenure system", if the head of the city is wise, let the head of the city continue to work, and after the son of the head of the city succeeds to the throne, if he is also wiser, then it is good to continue to work...... That's not the case in that city, where there is a head that changes every ten years?

Zhou Ming had to do ideological work for these people, he retired as the head of the city, and he followed the procedures agreed upon by everyone, and no one was allowed to violate this set of procedures, and he was the first to abide by them...... This is both for the benefit of all and for the future of Zhenlin City.

In addition, for the development of Zhenlin City for more than 20 years, he has been busy with his feet on the ground, his personal time is very small, there are too many affairs to deal with, and his cultivation is in a state of stagnation, he hopes to unload most of his burden and concentrate on doing a few things.

Especially in the education system, he plans to personally check and speed up the training of students.

As for agriculture, industry, municipal, commerce and trade, military and other areas, Zhou Ming will not completely ignore, after retiring as a member of the city council, he can provide some suggestions for his development, and will also participate in major decisions, but in most affairs, his role is a "consultant".

Moreover, before officially retiring, Zhou Ming also formulated a plan for the "Zhucheng Business Alliance", which was handed over to Yang Zheng, and let him start to implement this plan after taking office.

"Zhucheng Business Alliance?"

Yang Zheng flipped through a few pages and was a little puzzled: "Teacher, in the "Armistice Agreement" signed with Chixing Mountain a few days ago, didn't Chixing Mountain not allow Zhenlin City to expand externally and annex other cities?"

Zhou Ming shook his head:

"Business is business, how can it be confused with expansion, is it because of an agreement that we don't even develop normal business?"

"On the contrary, we just want to take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop business alliances and extend the interests of Zhenlin City!"

In fact, in the past two years, although the business of Zhenlin City has also been greatly developed, the growth momentum has obviously declined, and it is not as strong as before.

The reasons are manifold.

One is the frenzied dumping of strong commodities in Zhenlin City, which has encroached on the interests of countless traditional forces and attracted countless backlashes and boycotts, so the road tax in many cities has increased to an unbearable level.

Of course, the world is so big that opening up new roads, bypassing inhabited cities, or taking air routes can avoid road taxes, but the cost increases and additional losses are often higher than paying road taxes.

The second is that after Zhenlin City exposes its own powerful force, it will inevitably attract the attention of countless sects, as well as suspicion and vigilance, no one wants to become the second Red Star Mountain, and no one wants this mortal force to use all kinds of exquisite commodities to earn the spirit coins in their hands at the same time, and also have the strength to destroy them.

And once Zhenlin City is boycotted by various sects, it is foreseeable that the mortal cities under the control of these sects and all kinds of commodities produced in Zhenlin City will also be boycotted.

That was undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhenlin City.

Therefore, Zhenlincheng needs to adopt various methods to win over more alliances and expand internal demand, preferably to form a large internal market to achieve healthy internal consumption and circulation.

Relying on foreign exports to make a profit is still not very stable...... Unless it is possible to achieve relatively cheap air transportation.

In recent years, Zhou Ming has also led people to do preliminary research, and has developed a prototype, and finally found that from the comprehensive point of view of speed, cargo capacity, range and other indicators, the propeller transport aircraft equipped with "spiritual machine" has the best economic benefits.

The only restriction is that the number of monks in Zhenlin City has not yet reached the level of large-scale promotion of "psionic machines".

At present, the more reliable vehicles with large carrying capacity are still steam locomotives that run on ground tracks and are driven by burning firewood.

At present, in the "Twin Cities Alliance", the number of tracks is only two.

One is the "Zhenjin Track" from Zhenlin City to Jinyan City.

There is also a "Golden Crow Track" from Jinyan City to Wuhe City.

Other cities, of course, see the benefits that the track can bring, but still have no plans to repair it.

In the plan of "Zhucheng Business Alliance" formulated by Zhou Ming, he planned more than 50 rail lines for 33 cities with a population of one million, with a total length of more than 50,000 li, and planned to complete these tracks within five years to establish a strong business alliance.

And with great certainty, I believe that more than 30 cities will join.

He said:

"Needless to say, the rabble city has long been assimilated by us, and two years ago they clamored to join the 'Twin Cities Alliance' and form the Three-City Alliance, but they gave up because of Jin Yancheng's opposition, and this time, they will definitely actively join. ”

"Bihua City, there is a kind of Bihua tree in this city, the paper made is white and soft, and the shelf life is long, so the paper industry can be transferred to Bihua City, specializing in the production of all kinds of paper. ”

"Baihu City, the city is located in a flat and low-lying terrain, rivers and lakes, suitable for the cultivation of fairy crystal rice, the development of dried fish industry, in addition, I heard that there are several 'brine lakes' in Baihu City, the salt content is very high, we can provide technology, help them refine the salt in the brine lake, develop the salt industry, and create a lot of income......"

"The reserves of red crystal in Chijing City are not less than the yaojin stone in Jinyan City, and the use of red crystal is also very wide, but the people of Chijing City do not have smelting technology to smelt, and they have been selling low-end raw ore for so many years, we can provide advanced smelting technology to help them create greater wealth. ”

"There are other cities that can develop characteristic industries that belong to these cities, and Zhenlin City has technologies that they don't have. ”

In short, the theme of "Zhucheng Business Alliance" is mutual benefit and win-win, and cooperation with Zhenlincheng is equivalent to shaking hands with opportunities and embracing interests, which is a good thing, no one will refuse. ”

Putting this plan solemnly into Yang Zheng's hand, Zhou Ming encouraged him:

"There is no need to have too much psychological burden, you have done a lot of work very well before, after you became the head of the city, you only focused on the realization of the plans in this plan, if within five years, you can turn these plans into reality, you are a fully qualified and excellent city head!"

"Hmm!"

Yang Zheng nodded, feeling full of motivation and confidence. 7119
