Chapter 193: Changes in Sensation II
All residents were given free currency that could be spent in various functional areas next to the subway station. After receiving the currency, the commercial entities in the functional area will disperse the currency again through investment and employment. Villadusag also established a bank that established the original mechanism for exchanging gold, silver, mineral and iron coins. Money is the blood of modern commerce, and with the accelerated circulation of money, the productive forces have been expanded in a big way.
There are many factories around Villadusag, and the Cult of Winter itself has inherited the original trade channels between Villadusag and the outside world, which were originally privately owned and now temporarily state-run (in order to ensure the short-term secrecy of Villadusag's changes). As a result, a steady flow of goods from outside factories and trade into Villadusag.
Of course, Villadusag is currently a closed system, and Lin Xu does not intend to let the goods of this system flow out of the world to obtain profits.
Lin Xu and Victoria chose a subway stop, then bought a subway ticket, went underground, and waited for the Haunted Minecart to arrive as the front train.
This is a somewhat dim underground space, and there are currently no assembly line electric lights in the territory, and the station is still a kerosene lamp for the time being, and the kerosene lamp is still used as an auxiliary light on the train when the train arrives in the distance.
The appearance of the train is very rough, nothing more than a lot of large iron pipes with wheels attached to the front of the haunted minecar, and people sit on fixed iron chairs in the iron pipes, and the top of the iron pipe is also kerosene lamps, and the whole train is obviously not very well lit.
Lin Xu and Victoria got on the car, and the air in the carriage was still good, and it was surprisingly not uncomfortable. Lin Xu estimated that this was because the haunted railroad track was set up to make people pass in the previous game, whether underground or aboveground, it can pass for a long time, which itself means that the air circulation is guaranteed, and when the haunted rail is materialized, this attribute is naturally reflected in the automatic circulation of air.
The two of them sat quietly in a corner of the car, and Lin Xu looked around the carriage.
The size of the carriage is much smaller than that of the subway in the previous life, because the haunted minecart itself is smaller than the subway front of the previous life, and there is only room for two people to stand between the subway seat and the seat opposite. There were not many people in the carriage, at least there were no people sitting opposite Lin Xu and Victoria, and this section of the entire carriage was about five or six meters long, and about seven or eight people were sitting or standing. The passengers were plainly dressed, but all appeared to be complete, and they were probably mid- or lower-middle-class residents of Villadusag, a population that was rapidly being transformed into city citizens under the new system under the guidance of the priests of the Temporal God.
The faces of these residents are not very magical, and some of them are still a little nervous, holding a few pieces of paper or books in their hands, reading something. The people who used the subway were initially members of factories, schools, the military, and various other administrative organizations under the new system, and they gradually influenced the understanding of the new city by those around them.
Lin Xu chatted with Victoria, the current industrial layout of Villadusag, sorted out what the Cult of the Winter God has been doing recently, and then, Lin Xu was curious about how Victoria had integrated those small tribes of snow wolves that were originally wandering away in Villadusa. Victoria knows everything, but what concerns her more is the significance of some of the directions in which Lsyllinster is headed. The two of them walked out of the subway station and came to the entrance of a huge school campus.
This is a tribal college with the style of a high school in the previous life, in terms of architectural style, it blends the layout of the school in the previous life, but the exterior has added some decorations and styles inherent to the Snow Wolf tribe's belief in Tiandong. There is a long sign on the bluestone road closest to the entrance of the campus. A young man dressed in the clothes of a priest of the god of winter, was gluing a roll of notices with sticky, and after pasting them, he turned around and prayed aloud with the canon.
People passing by inside and outside the campus saw this praying pastor and stopped and prayed in the same way as a pastor for more than ten seconds before hurrying along. On campus, bookshelves are placed in many places, and the canons of the Cult of the Winter God can be found everywhere.
Lin Xu and Victoria walked around the campus. The botanical and horticultural style of this campus has been carved according to the appearance of Lin Xu's memories in his previous life, and the entire campus is full of trees, flower beds, and even fountain buildings that have not been properly filled with drinking water, portraying the entire campus atmosphere like an ivory tower in the previous life. Outside the campus, the snow wolf tribe originally built with stone blocks in a drastic contrast.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
At this moment, the bell tower at the top of a towering building on the campus rang a distant bell, representing the arrival of a certain hour.
After the bell rang, the entire quiet campus was in turmoil, and many young people and teenagers of different ages and appearances poured out of the rooms of each building, all facing the same direction, closing their eyes, clasping their hands, and praying quietly.
"Whew-" Victoria looked at the girl who had just finished praying with the pastor on the bulletin board at the door, and after hearing the bell ring two steps, she stopped and began to pray, "Don't you think it's a waste of time?" ”
"There are some things that need to be improved." Lin Xu nodded, but his expression was unimpressed, "But this is also necessary." The work of the mind is not as simple as it is for you. Many times, your power is not as powerful as you think it is, and your power is not necessarily as powerful as you think it is. ”
"Oh?" Victoria said she didn't understand.
"Have you ever heard of the saying 'government decrees do not go out of the central government, and the royal power does not go down to the towns'?" Lin Xu explained, "This is from a management point of view, a person can probably maintain no more than 150 interpersonal relationships for a period of time, and it is easy to become strange beyond this boundary, and a person's direct and effective management range is normally only seven or eight people." Seven or eight people, if you want to use these people to manage a faction, how can the number of people be enough? So, the best thing to do is to let all the people who are managed understand what you think, believe him, and then execute him. This is the vision, mission, culture, and values of the community. ”
"But your men, and theirs?" Victoria retorted.
"The more layers, the more you deviate from your control, especially power, under the precipitation of time, it is easy to form a structure of interests with checks and balances on all sides, and at that time, it will affect the whole body. The fact that the decree does not leave the central government means that the various local relations of production have formed a stable structure of checks and balances, and at that time, if you want to do something that will undermine that checks and balances, you will be instinctively obstructed and covered. The royal power does not go down to the township, that is, at the grassroots level, it is often the actual formation of various large and small families, no matter what system you adopt, often the powerful wealthy families are the ones who the residents of this area are really afraid and convinced. Historically, there have been many people who have tried to bypass the feudal system to establish a centralized and unified empire, but over time, they often die on these two phenomena. This is true not only of empires, but also of large chambers of commerce, armies, etc. “
"Don't think that because you own an organization, you have power. It's like if you have a chamber of commerce, don't actually touch it, then the person who presides over the decision-making has the decision-making power, the outside people will listen to him, the person who presides over the affairs has the personnel power, the person who wants to be promoted will listen to him, the person who presides over the finance has the financial power, then the person who wants money will listen to him, in addition, for example, if you send someone to open a workshop in a certain place, and the person who actually sends out to preside over the work will naturally get the external relationship related to this work, what if one day he takes the relationship to stand on his own? Another example is what if the person in charge of a certain job trains the assistant to become an apprentice wholeheartedly, and you drive the master away, and the master takes the apprentice away by kindness. ”
"Force often means status, but without wisdom, it is impossible to control more power. It is precisely because of this that I will establish and carry forward the Cult of the Winter God. Religion is a tool to change people's hearts, and only by controlling more people's hearts can I truly realize my ideas. ”
Lin Xu said in detail to Victoria.
"And what do you want to do, what do you think?" Victoria curious.
"At least ......," Lin Xu thought for a moment, "let's make more places better." I do not deny that I am a person with a desire for power, and taking advantage of the situation is the best way to gain power, and the right path is the best general trend. Joining the Church of the Winter God will allow those civilians to create more value and obtain more value, which will make the church snowball in this world. I firmly believe that. ”
This is the most rewarding job I've seen so far. Lin Xu also clarified his own thoughts while speaking, and the tone of his speech was also more firm.
"Let's go. We're leaving Villadusag, I'm on an expedition to the borders of the Violet Alliance and the Winter Mountains, and you'll stay with me, Vidor. See what the scenery is like outside. ”
Lin Xu no longer hid his figure, called for two Winter Snow Wolves, and asked Victoria and himself to ride one each, and fly to the northwest border of the Winter Mountains, bordering the Violet Alliance and Lance City, Georgia.
As the winter snow wolf flew higher and higher, the entire city of Villadusag, which was shrouded in a large construction and snow-colored atmosphere, slowly unfolded under Lin Xu's eyes.
