632 Forgotten Scars
It's not hard for a person to forget a scar on their body, especially when the scar is small enough and insignificant enough.
Magnifying to the entire human society, good scars and forgetting pains abound.
I have to say that this is a race that is very easy to forget, and at the same time, the society composed of this race is also the kind of society that is easy to forget.
When the threat of the devil is no longer visible or tangible, most of the people in the Irlanhill region have begun to live in peace and contentment, living a peaceful and ordinary life.
They stayed away from the war and never seemed to be affected by it. They ploughed the fields, watching the rising and falling double donkey pumping machines in the distance, piling up the year's harvest and transporting it away together on a tractor.
In the summer of Irlanhill's 7th year, the fields were already green. Everywhere there are vegetables and grains, everywhere there are frogs chirping and insects chirping, everywhere is a busy scene.
The topic of the core area of the empire has changed from a short expedition to the demon world to the human games, everyone is talking about sprint track and field events, discussing the shocking picture of the magician duel, and then from the Tubao-Hanhai bicycle round-trip race, talking about the strong rise of the Seris A-share market in one breath.
Everything went well in the war in the Demon Realm, and after a month of wait-and-see, several related stocks were rising.
First of all, the military sector, after getting a large amount of orders, the stock is naturally rising.
Secondly, there are pharmaceutical sectors, food sectors, high-tech sectors, and even light industry sectors, which have been stimulated and risen sharply, which makes people happy.
Spurred on by the positive stock market, Alan Hill's economy is booming. The empire issued a bond for the expedition to the Demon Realm more than a month ago, and the total issuance of ten trillion gold coins was swept away in one day!
Anyway, everyone has money now, and if you don't study some investment projects, you really can't resist the very uncomfortable inflation.
For the first time, those who have forgotten the war have touched the true peace with their hands! There is no more unequal exploitation, and everyone can live peacefully in the sun! This is a prosperous era that can only be seen in books in the past, and it is also a good life that everyone dreams of.
For this country, the threat of demons is long gone, and war seems to be just a legendary existence that cannot be seen and touched.
At the end of the farmland is a wide highway, and on the other side of the road, there is a parallel railway. A street lamp is installed every short distance to illuminate the road at night for vehicles and pedestrians.
The entire empire was able to generate electricity so abundantly, and so quickly did the spread of electricity. In fact, 60 percent of Irlanhill is still unelectric.
There is no way, after all, the entire empire is expanding too fast. Combined with the land that had been exchanged from other allies, the territory under the command of Alan Hill was simply too large.
Including the areas occupied and controlled by the Golem Empire by Elanhill, some areas ceded by the former Eternal Empire, part of the Norma Empire, most of the Palak Empire, most of the Jesno Empire, and most of the Bameihil Empire, none of them are covered by the power grid.
Add to that the surrendered Kasik Empire, which has almost zero infrastructure, and the Southern Kingdom, which has been completely destroyed by demons and is still in need of reconstruction—these two regions are a savage land in the eyes of the higher echelons of Elanhill.
And this is also the direction of the Illanhill Electricity Department - according to the plan, in the next year, the electricity coverage of Illanhill must exceed 90%!
plus water supply and drainage systems, plus road and rail systems, plus airport and airport facilities...... The demand for construction in Irlanhill has not slowed down in the slightest, but has increased exponentially.
In the past year, the entire Iranhill Empire has laid 30,000 kilometers of railways alone! But such a construction speed is far from enough!
Don't underestimate these 30,000 kilometers, it doesn't seem like much, but you must know that the main transportation force of Iran Hill is now more and more floating transport ships, not traditional railways.
City-to-city connections have never been closer, with Dosenar just a few hours from Seris on a plane, and a dozen hours from Greken to Iran Hill.
This was unthinkable in the past, when a mortal in a carriage would have to travel more than half a year to travel from Dosenal to Seris......
Similarly, Iran Hill also has a number of problems, such as the fact that life in the core area is good and he is starting to slack off. For example, the empire is too large and too extensive, which makes it very troublesome to manage.
The gap between the rich and the poor is too great, and the economic level between the core and the poorest areas is simply a huge gap between the information age and feudal society.
On the busiest streets of Irlanhill, in front of the hotel that never closes at night, those beautiful women who are well-dressed and have a sweet voice are in stark contrast to the white bones in the mud puddles next to the roads of the Southern Kingdom.
Similarly, the actual standard of living of the people living in Seris has surpassed that of Manhattan, New York, the richest city in the United States, and the refugees living in the aftermath of the catastrophe in the southern kingdom are even more miserable than the hungry refugees waiting to be rescued in Africa.
Such problems pervaded all corners of the empire, and some garrisons in remote areas may still be making do with World War II-era weaponry, and there are still a large number of M4 tanks in the army that are barely in service. But some of the troops, already wearing powered exoskeletons, are fighting bravely in another world.
Who would have imagined that the most advanced part of an empire has built spaceports and star rings in outer space, and that the most backward part of it still relies on donkey carts on wooden wheels on potholed dirt roads......
Iran Hill is such a strange empire that Chris doesn't even have the slightest doubt that a ridiculous social structure similar to that in Star Wars will appear in the country he rules.
The country's technological progress is too fast, but the social structure, the construction of government departments, is not so perfect.
Chris is trying to perfect these things, and he wants to turn Ellen Hill back into a tightly functioning machine, a super-sophisticated machine that can export cultural, political, economic, and military power to the outside world!
God willing, he has thousands of years of lessons from a great world, and likewise understands the ten-thousand-year-old stubborn traditions of this other world.
All he has to do is to combine these things, take their essence and remove their dross, and finally form a perfect thing that can be used by him.
--------
That's all for today......
