Chapter 537: A Fallen Female Reporter
"Sister Lin, there is the Giant Bear Fortress in front of you." Assistant Xiao Zhang pointed to a dim point of light in the star map.
"Hmm."
Lin Yilian nodded slightly, then lowered her head and sorted out the interview manuscripts along the way.
The spaceship moved forward silently, and after another 2 minutes, the assistant Xiao Zhang spoke again: "Sister Lin, what kind of person do you say the new governor of Heyue is?" ”
Lin Yilian's hand paused slightly: "I don't know." When you see someone later, you may be able to see it. ”
Xiao Zhang showed a disdainful smile on his face: "Hmph, if you want me to say, this new governor is a careerist." ”
"Why?" Lin Yilian asked with a smile.
Xiao Zhang thought he was right, and continued: "Sister Lin, look at the methods he used, they are all buying people's hearts. His current position is unstable, and His Majesty the Emperor does not like him, if there is no support from the Heyue people, I am afraid that the chair will have to be ousted before it is hot. ”
Lin Yilian looked up at Xiao Zhang and shook her head: "There is a way to buy people's hearts, but it is by no means to guarantee the position of governor." ”
Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked seriously, "Why do you say that?" ”
Lin Yilian had already sorted out the manuscript, she sat up straight, and said to her assistant seriously: "Since ancient times, the most important thing for a ruler to have a stable position is to control the army. Judging from the information we have received, the new governor has taken control of the army as soon as he came to power, and the security in the province is also quite good along the way, indicating that the new governor has calmed down the turmoil in the province. has both an army and ability, and he is still a god of war, and with those ordinary people, he can't shake his position at all. ”
"But even if you control the army, if the people are in turmoil one after another, the rule will only be temporary, right?" Xiao Zhang argued.
Lin Yilian shook her head again: "You have made a mistake of turning the effect into the cause." The rise and fall of civil revolts is precisely the result of the rulers' failure to use the military properly and to bring out the violence of the army. ”
"I don't understand."
Lin Yilian carefully analyzed: "Once the ruler effectively uses the army, then he will definitely be able to successfully suppress the rebellion in the territory, even if not all of them, at least the most threatening bird will definitely be finished, right?" ”
Xiao Zhang thought about it and nodded in approval.
Lin Yilian continued: "When the biggest reactionary force is destroyed, its reactionary backbone will inevitably be brutally tortured and killed by the rulers, and this will inevitably have a shocking effect. ”
"Yes." Xiao Zhang nodded again.
Lin Yilian continued to analyze: "Ordinary people are pragmatic, everyone has their own interests, most people have families, they are bound by the world, no one leads at this time, and the ruler is strong and powerful, how do you say most ordinary people will choose?" ”
"Live honestly."
"Yes, live honestly and dutifully, even if there are occasional complaints about the status quo, they will never act, so that the reactionary backbone will die down, ordinary people will be at peace, and the social environment will tend to be stable, right?"
"That's right."
At this time, the ruler showed a little favor to the common people, so that most of the ordinary people received favors. You say, can those reactionary backbones still incite ordinary people to rebel with them? ”
"It's impossible, these reactionary backbones will create envy and hatred and become the enemy of everyone." Xiao Zhang had already understood, and he spread his hands and said, "Isn't that what the new governor of Heyue did?" He's showing kindness to ordinary people right now. ”
"That's the problem." Lin Yilian frowned and said: "Grace is right, but the current situation is that the new governor's grace is too heavy, far beyond common sense, and the input far exceeds the output. ”
Xiao Zhang immediately chimed in: "Sister Lin, I'll just say that the new governor is too generous." He invested so much, he must have other plans, he is a careerist! He must have ulterior motives! ”
But what is the purpose? What benefits can these ordinary people bring to the new governor? Lin Yilian asked.
"I don't know." Xiao Zhang shrugged his shoulders: "Perhaps, the new governor didn't understand the situation, so he gave too much, haha." ”
"Don't you understand?" Lin Yilian glanced sideways at her assistant: "Do you think that a powerful person who relied on that kind of means to ascend to power, and then used strong means to suppress the turmoil in the province, but executed nearly 100,000 people in ten days, will not be able to see such a simple truth?" ”
Xiao Zhang hurriedly explained: "Sister Lin, I'll just say it casually, don't be serious with me." ”
Lin Yilian frowned: "It's not more serious, this is the question we want to clarify in this interview, otherwise we just report the facts we saw, then wouldn't our Ta Kung Pao be no different from an electronic recorder?" ”
At this moment, the main control brain of the spacecraft sounded a prompt.
"Arriving at the spaceport, please sit down and get ready to land."
Lin Yilian stood up, sorted out the miniature holographic record buttons on the collar of her hand, and sorted out the questions to ask when she met the governor later, and then she quietly waited for the spaceship to dock into the harbor.
The interview has been contacted, and the Governor of Kawagoe will meet them after 0.5 standard hours, and the whole interview will only last 15 minutes.
"Ding~ The spacecraft has entered the port, the landing passage has been arranged, please enter the spaceport as soon as possible."
"Zi~"
In the slight sound of air currents, the door of the spaceship slowly opened, and Lin Yilian took a deep breath and strode out of the spaceship. Assistant Xiao Zhang hurriedly took a few steps and followed behind her.
Entering the spaceport, less than 30 meters, two soldiers in dark red uniforms strode over, after seeing Lin Yilian, the two soldiers solemnly saluted her, and one of the soldiers said: "Is it Reporter Lin?"
"I am." Lin Yilian looked the two soldiers up and down: "Very energetic, there is an indifferent life momentum on his body, it should be a veteran who has seen blood, but the strange thing is that this veteran does not have the usual cold aura on his body, so he will not make people feel afraid...... It's weird. ’
The soldier continued, "I will take you to the corridor of the stars in the fortress. The governor will meet you there. ”
"I'm honored." Lin Yilian smiled, but there was a trace of nervousness in her heart, although she had interviewed many governors in the past, but this time the situation was different, it was not only the governor, but also the god of war.
"Please follow me."
The two warriors turned around to lead the way, and Lin Yilian and Xiao Zhang followed behind. The four of them walked all the way along the passage, and after walking about 50 meters, the four of them got into a hovercraft.
The hovercar traveled all the way, and after flying most of the distance of the fort, it was moored on a platform high above the fort.
"Reporter Lin, after getting out of the car, you walk along the passage all the way, and about 300 meters later, there is the Star Corridor. Wait a moment in the hallway, and the Governor will come. ”
"I see, thank you very much."
Lin Yilian got up and left the hovercar, and when Xiao Zhang saw this, he wanted to follow, but was stopped by the soldiers.
"I can't go?" Xiao Zhang was stunned.
"Yes, only Reporter Lin was allowed to meet with him, and you didn't." The soldier's voice was cold, and there was no room for doubt.
Xiao Zhang didn't dare to refute, so he could only stay on the hovercar honestly.
Lin Yilian didn't say much, she walked along the passage alone. The passage is very high, 30 meters, very wide, more than 40 meters, there is no one in the passage, it is empty, walking in it, you can hear many echoes.
Lin Yilian's heart was a little weak, she walked forward, about 300 meters later, the walls on both sides of the passage suddenly became transparent, through this wall, you can clearly see the blue mercury and golden stars in the distance, you can also overlook the entire giant bear fortress, look up, you can see a huge dark nebula, Lin Yilian knows that it is the bear nebula.
She also saw a figure in a long black trench coat striding towards her across the hallway, he had come alone, with no guards behind him.
When she walked in, Lin Yilian saw clearly, this was a black-haired young man, who looked no more than 25 years old.
"It should be the Governor of Kawagoe, who is younger than expected, and doesn't seem to be majestic at all. If it weren't for the facts, who would have thought that he would be able to kill Ye Liuyan and take the throne? Well, there is a peculiar temperament about this young man, I seem to have seen it somewhere. ”
As soon as she felt a sense of familiarity in her heart, the other party had already arrived in front of her, and she didn't have time to think about it, she hurriedly walked a few steps and curtsied: "Your Excellency the Governor, be well." ”
The black-haired young man was Zhang Yuan, with a gentle smile on his face, and after nodding in return, he praised: "Ms. Lin, you are younger and more beautiful than I imagined." ”
Although I know that this is etiquette, it is always pleasant to be praised for my appearance, Lin Yilian smiled: "Thank you for the praise of the governor, you are also extraordinary and impressive." ”
"Haha~" Zhang Yuanlang laughed, at this time, he didn't look like a high-ranking governor at all, let alone the majesty of the god of war, but like a sunny and cheerful boy walking by the side of the road.
Lin Yilian felt that the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the pressure in her heart disappeared without a trace.
Here, Zhang Yuan continued: "Ms. Lin, let's not praise each other. You're a Ta Kung Pao reporter, and you must have a lot of questions to ask me along the way, right? ”
"Of course." Lin Yilian raised her hand and pushed a strand of messy hair on her forehead to the back of her head: "Since this is the case, then I will be offended." ”
Zhang Yuan straightened his posture, and his demeanor became solemn: "Excuse me." ”
Lin Yilian felt that she had been valued, and she was very useful in her heart, and she unconsciously straightened her posture: "Lord Governor, I have been to a total of 3 space cities along the way, and I have seen along the way, and I found that you have updated the air and water circulation system for each space city, and a fairly complete guard system has been established around the space city. According to my estimates, this expenditure is at least more than 300 billion star shields. I'm curious, why did you do that? ”
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This has something to do with my background. ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Yuan said seriously: "I was originally an ordinary person on Bi Mercury, and I have personally experienced the life of the body. I know that many of the cities in space do not have clean air, do not have safe drinking water, the cost of treatment is high, and the income of the people is so small that if they get sick, they basically have to wait at home to die. At that time, I thought that if I could become a lord one day, I must do something. As a result, as you can see, by chance, I became the governor of the province. Since fate has given me a chance, of course I want to achieve what I want. ”
Lin Yilian was stunned when she heard it, she had seen too many high-ranking people, and after hearing Zhang Yuan's high-sounding words, she instinctively was suspicious, but when she looked at Zhang Yuan carefully, she found that his eyes were clear and his demeanor was firm, which did not seem to be a fake at all, making it difficult for people to doubt what he said.
However, no matter how this sounds and how it makes people feel detached from reality, with the insight of a god of war, he must know that this will not last long. Now we are in a hurry to do things for the people, and invest the money for maintaining the rule to improve the people's livelihood, and when the time comes, even the governor will not be able to do it, how can we talk about benefiting the people?
Lin Yilian couldn't help but ask more: "Lord Governor, forgive me for being presumptuous, but is this what you really think?" ”
As soon as she asked this question, she regretted it, firstly, because this sentence carried her subjective judgment. The second is because it may anger the young governor.
Zhang Yuan still had a smile on his face, he looked down at the female reporter who was a little frightened, and said with a smile: "Ms. Lin, judging whether it is true or false, let's leave it to the readers of Ta Kung Pao." Anyone does anything, there are always people who doubt, someone who believes, you say yes? ”
Lin Yilian exhaled lightly: "You are right, Lord Governor. ”
After sorting out her mood, she continued to ask, "Lord Governor, what are you going to do next?" Is it to continue to improve people's welfare? Or is that the end of it? ”
Zhang Yuan said categorically: "Of course, I will do my best to improve." ”
Lin Yilian blinked: "I don't understand."
"Now, I have only met the basic survival needs of the residents of the province, but this is far from enough, I not only hope that my people will live, but also hope that they can live well and be the envy of everyone. Oh, by the way, if anyone is willing to come to Ha Yue, I am also very welcome, as long as you can come, I will definitely arrange legal status for you. In Heyue, everyone will live the same as the aristocracy, with dignity and freedom, as long as everyone works hard, they will definitely get the life they want! ”
At this moment, even Lin Yilian felt that Zhang Yuan was a little crazy, and she hurriedly changed the topic: "As we all know, in this sacred decisive battle, the strength of the two sides cannot wait, and Heyue is in a rather unfavorable situation. What do you think? ”
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly: "In terms of the number of warships, Heyue is indeed at a disadvantage, but for me, the battleship is just a moving target." It's nothing more than one more target, which is a little more difficult, but it's still within the acceptable range. ”
"Uh~ you look pretty confident." Lin Yilian didn't know what to say: "Lord Governor, you are 21 years old this year, and you have only participated in warrior training for half a year, even if you become a god of war in terms of strength, you will definitely lack in combat skills, I am curious, why do you have so confidence?" ”
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Ms. Lin, can I lend you a hair?" ”
"Uh~ Of course."
As soon as Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand, his fingers gently brushed over Lin Yilian's head, and when he withdrew it, there was already an extra long hair on his hand.
He pinched his hair and said to Lin Yilian: "The combat skills in this world are almost endless, but in the end, the essence is nothing more than the control of power, and after entering the God of War realm, my control of power has been improved to a certain extreme. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan shook his hand slightly, and the soft hair in his hand suddenly seemed to be infused with some kind of energy, becoming as hard as iron.
Immediately after, Zhang Yuan pinched the high-strength alloy wall next to the hair king and poked it, and silently, the hair did not enter the alloy wall that was enough to resist the nuclear explosion, and pierced most of it before stopping.
This alloy wall is crystal structure, highly transparent, so Lin Yilian can clearly see that half of her hair is in the wall, but the other half is hanging down softly, looking as if it is growing on the wall.
"Oh my God, how is that possible?" She covered her mouth, her face full of incredulity.
"Nothing remarkable. An insight into the structure of matter, coupled with a fine grasp of power, and that's my self-confidence! ”
After saying this, Zhang Yuan said: "The 15-minute time is over, and I hope that Ms. Lin can truthfully put today's interview into Ta Kung Pao." ”
Lin Yilian hadn't recovered from the previous shock, and after hearing this, she subconsciously said, "Of course I will do this." This is my professionalism...... This ......."
Before she finished speaking, she found that there was something more in her hand, and when she opened it, it turned out to be 4 Black Star Coins, a full 4 million star shields, which was her salary for 10 years!
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Ms. Lin, this is a little local product of Heyue, you must accept it." ”
"But....." Lin Yilian wanted to refuse, but the attraction of Xingdun was too great, and what she wanted to do was just to report the governor's words truthfully, she really couldn't refuse.
However, this violates her professional ethics, how can she take the money?
"Ms. Lin, you know this, and I've turned off all the surveillance probes here. If you can say a few words for Kawagoe, I will give you more souvenirs. Zhang Yuan smiled and made up for the final blow.
Lin Yilian finally couldn't resist the temptation, she quickly withdrew her hand and put the four black star shields into her trouser pocket.
"Your Excellency, this ...... This...... Thank you very much for your gift, I will definitely report the situation of Hawayue objectively, especially every word you say, I will report it truthfully, and I will not miss a word. ”
"Thank you very much."
After saying this, Zhang Yuan turned around and left.
Her gaze suddenly fixed on Zhang Yuan's back, and she finally discovered the source of the familiarity, this Zhang Yuan and the two soldiers who picked her up before, as well as many officials she had seen in Space City along the way, all had a similar temperament.
This temperament is indescribable, but it can be experienced from the other party's every move, Lin Yilian now finds that there are many people in this Heyue who have a very unique temperament.
This kind of temperament, she had never seen in anyone else before, Orm, Sky City, and Crimson Empire.
However, this is just a matter of temperament, a very subjective feeling, Lin Yilian did not pursue it, but sighed in her heart: "This is really a group of strange people." ”
Her mind quickly turned to the star shield in her trouser pocket: 'How could this governor be so generous?' As soon as you make a move, you will have four Black Star Shields, and you can buy a newly published luxury spaceship. Shouldn't I say a few words for Kawagoe? Earn more? ’
