Chapter 377: Xinqing Daily
There are five municipalities in the northeast, namely Shengjing, the nominal capital, Krasnoyarkes, the important town of Krasnoyarkes, Ulabaatar in Mongolia, Hanoi, the center of gravity of the five provinces in Southeast Asia, and Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, an African territory. Each of the five municipalities has its own functions, but on the whole, they are all important towns and play a crucial role in the local governance of the Northeast Autonomous Region.
There has been a major incident in Shengjing City in the past two days, and the city is full of wind and rain.
As the nominal capital of the Northeast Autonomous Region, in order to straighten out the local traffic, Shengjing City has built two railway stations alone. One is the South Railway Station, which connects North Korea and connects southern port cities such as Dalian and Yingkou, which is an extension of the sea route. One is the North Railway Station, which connects Jilin, Heilongjiang, Mongolia, and the entire Siberian region.
Because of the convenience of transportation and the special political status, the population of Shengjing City began to expand rapidly in the past two years, and the total population has exceeded one million. In order to alleviate the increasingly strict traffic pressure in the urban area, Shengjing City has built a subway network. Compared to the world's first underground network, the London Underground network, Shengjing's underground network has been fully electrified. To reach the same level of technology, the British will have to work for at least two more years, and their first electrified subway in history was completed in 1890. As for full electrification, that was after 1906. However, this is not to say that Shengjing's subway network has surpassed that of today's London, and the first subway network has been in operation since 1856.
Although the construction of the subway is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, most residents of Shengjing have a conservative attitude towards it. Except for those industries with opposing interests of pulling foreign carts and driving horse-drawn carriages, the rest of the people are very uneasy about this kind of long line of transportation that travels underground. It can be said that the fact that the people did not jointly dismantle the railway like the Wusong Railway is already a blessing for the Shengjing government.
There are all kinds of unreliable rumors about the Shengjing government's insistence on building a railway, the most widely spread of which is that the purpose of the Northeast Autonomous Region government's construction of the subway is to cut off the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. People of insight naturally scoff at it, as far as the Qing court's current virtue is concerned, do they still use other people's hands? It's already the old ladies who have the final say, isn't this dragon vein broken early? However, the folk are full of gossip and urine, and the more bizarre and mysterious the statement, the more marketable it is.
The role of the subway in diverting traffic has not yet been played, so road traffic is naturally the focus of the Shengjing government. Today's Shengjing is a public tram, a car, a horse-drawn carriage, a bicycle and a foreign car, five cars in parallel. Coupled with the various pedestrians scattered all over the street, the chaos on the street can be imagined.
In order to change this situation, the Shengjing government began to introduce new traffic rules and regulations, began to build traffic lights on a large scale, and strengthened traffic management. However, the original intention was good, but the result caused an uproar in Shengjing.
The new traffic law gives the people of Shengjing nearly a year to apply, and at the same time can give feedback to the Municipal People's Congress on various opinions and dissatisfactions, after improvement, the new traffic law was officially implemented at the beginning of this year. Those who violate traffic rules and regulations can be fined, whipped, jailed, or even shot.
Originally, this was nothing, the people of the Qing Dynasty were used to the people, and now they are well fed and warm, and the city government just let them walk according to the rules, and they didn't plan to make any trouble. However, I don't know why several old Confucian students looked at this traffic law as unpleasant, and thought that people should be educated with benevolence and morality to obey traffic rules, and should not be punished. They wrote hard in several private newspapers, and some people even said that the Northeast Autonomous Regional Government was competing with the people for profit, and that traffic fines were a bad means to collect the people's fat and cream in disguise.
Originally, if this matter was only like this, it would cause some saliva at most, but the spokesman of the Propaganda Department of the Shengjing Municipal Government clarified the next day and said a lot of high-sounding truths, but it was the same as the Central Propaganda Department of later generations, and this kind of official mouthpiece combat power can only be described as scum. said a bunch of things, not to mention that the people couldn't listen to it, but Wang Yi himself blushed when he saw it. Liars, who believes that!
Probably because the spokesman's words had a stimulating effect, perhaps it made people feel that they wanted to cover up, and several members of the Shengjing City People's Congress began to pay attention to the matter. They are very proud, after all, unlike the officials who passed the examination, they are voted by ordinary people. Although the Northeast in this year is also a money government, it is far less strict than that of the eagle sauce in later generations. Within a few years of the implementation of the people's congress deputies, these deputies were still relatively pure, and no matter what their purpose, they really showed a bit of a sense of ownership.
Shengjing West Tower is a North Korean gathering area, and there is a barbecue restaurant on the street near the railway bridge. On the second floor of his house is a small newspaper called Xinqing Daily. In the editor-in-chief's room sat a young man and two old men, all dressed in robes and horse coats with long braids.
"Kang Xian's nephew is back! Drink tea, on a cold day, moisten your throat. ”
Kang Xian's nephew, who was sitting in the editor-in-chief's position, took off the scarf around his neck, then took the hot tea, and saluted the two old men opposite: "Thank you, second elder." ”
"What was the result of going to Liu's Mansion this time?" Another old man asked at this point.
Mr. Kang smiled slightly, his expression was very happy, and said, "I have gained a lot, and it is worth the trip!" ”
"So...... Something sent out? ”
Mr. Kang nodded and said, "Not only that, but Committee Member Liu also promised to thoroughly investigate this matter. ”
The two old men looked at each other and finally laughed.
"In this way, Sheng Jing may also become a boiling of public resentment!"
"So when are we going to press out on this?" The old man who poured the tea looked at Mr. Kang, then at the old man beside him, and said, "Money is a trivial matter, and if we can take this opportunity to greatly increase the influence of our newspaper, it will also be of great help to us in the future." ”
"That's right." Mr. Kang nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have already promised Commissioner Liu to give him two days to prepare. Then this thing will be published in the newspaper the day after tomorrow! ”
Another old man hesitated a little and said, "Nephew Kangxian, is Commissioner Liu from a well-known background, is it reliable?" ”
"You can rest assured! This position of a member of the People's Congress in the Northeast is not for life, and it is elected every four years, and performance evaluation must be conducted every year. To put it simply, it is whether there are achievements in the work, and whether it is a corpse vegetarian meal. This is an important criterion for the election of deputies to the people's congress in the future. In this regard, Committee member Liu naturally had to rely on the help of our newspaper. Whether it's finding an issue or helping him with a few nice words in the newspaper, it's a great benefit for him. We are mutually beneficial, and I think he will not be so blind and sell what we give to others. ”
