September 550.

As the gap in cooperation between Qianchuan and Xunyuan opened, hundreds of smuggling channels between the two countries quickly disappeared. The only three railways between the two countries operate day and night. A large number of cheap civilian industrial products began to be transported to the north, while the products of heavy industry raw materials, animal husbandry, and agriculture were transported to the south.

Benefits open the door, and it is not so easy to close it.

……

The change in Chikawa caused the upheaval of the Patrol Plain.

Twenty years ago, 70 percent of Qianchuan's grain was supplied by artificial grain, and the non-staple food was insect meat and rodent meat, which is conducive to large-scale production. Only greens and fruits on the table are supplied by farmland near the city.

With the comprehensive layout of the manufacturing industry, a large number of industrial workers have become the main consumer force, not only for raw materials, but also for animal husbandry and agricultural consumables.

After 549, a large number of Qianchuan people poured into these areas, surveyed the mines, signed supply contracts with the military patrolling the plains, and the mining economy tripled and continues to rise.

The farmland controlled by the military was originally used only to produce biofuels, and it lived on state subsidies. But with the rise of Qianchuan's consumer market, it immediately became a high-quality asset.

The Haobei Plateau was originally the most bitter place in Qianchuan and was used to send exiled officers, but the dividends of the huge market in the south made it a fragrant bun.

……

There are many strange appearances in the political arena of the Patrol Country.

Economically, the finances of the original country were originally unable to make ends meet, and when a few new assault groups were added, all sides shouted that they had no money and could not squeeze them out. He stressed the need to hate the hawks in the south and believe that the chaebols are unwilling to serve the country.

And now suddenly there is money, but the problem is not money. The split of factions became a major problem, and the great family led by the Lu family tried to transfer officers in the Haobei region several times in an attempt to control the emerging financial resources. The Haobei area, which used to be the main force of the foreign hawks, is now no longer spraying thousands of rivers, and has begun to fight with the gang of money-grabbing people in his own family.

In the middle and lower strata of Xunyuan, there are serious problems in the industrial structure. This situation is the same as that of all the marginal countries of the planet in the twenty-first century.

These second-rate countries (well, Maozi?) In international competition, no manufacturing industry can compete for excellence, and in globalization can only supply ores and agricultural products.

But whether it is mining or agriculture, a few mine owners and farmers benefit, and others must serve these people for a living. As for the service industry, except for medicine, education, and law, the others are all service industries with very low incomes, such as doormen. The gap between rich and poor has widened, and unemployment is high.

If you want to retain your own industries and keep your own workers, you can't change this industrial structure unless you reject globalization.

Of course, rejecting globalization is an act of anti-capital, and the people do not understand it, and the government will inevitably be scolded and thankless for doing this. For example, the northern part of a peninsula did just that, and it was 30 years behind the rest of the world in various fields. In the XXI century, ridiculed globally.

However, after the big countries started a higher-level industrial revolution, after the use of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to further centralize and integrate the manufacturing industry, the world will not be able to laugh. All second-rate countries in the world do not have the courage to give up their capital interests to engage in blockade, nor are they able to support the competitive development of the manufacturing industry, and will all turn into comprador governments, selling mines and agricultural products.

……

If you specifically find a reference for Xunyuan, then it is the country whose national anthem is Gong Jinou.

Blazing White seems to have opened up the supply of technology to Chikawa, and there was no blockade in military technology. A year ago, he also showed his ambition to catch up with Chikawa in various military fields.

But a year later, the upper echelons of the patrol didn't feel the need for this. They feel that as long as the key military industry is kept, then electronic chips, optical instruments and other equipment only need to stock up on key components.

The current state of the Patrol Politicians is very similar to that of the Westernists of the late nineteenth century.

The Westernists did engage in a number of military industries, capable of making shells, artillery, and ironclad ships, and even took the lead in developing smokeless gunpowder. It seems that it can keep up with the advanced countries in the world, but at that time, the industrial development was rapid, and the industrial economic countries were also making rapid progress.

It's the same with Xunyuan, their military industry, in less than twenty years, compared with the industry that Qianchuan has vigorously renewed, that is, the workshop level.

Military technology is built on the basis of a well-developed manufacturing industry.

Now the manufacturing industry in Xunyuan has begun to decline in an all-round way.

Although there were no large-scale layoffs, companies began to cut wages. In the absence of bonuses, on the huge production system, personnel have no intention of complying with the regulations. The sweaters produced can have the problem of different sleeve lengths, and the eggs can be seen in the drinks produced, which are not problems with equipment, but problems with personnel and management.

Blazing arrangement: In the future, when Xunyuan can't solve the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor, and then further open up Xunyuan and Qianchuan, then a large number of the middle class in Xunyuan will be transferred to the factories of Qianchuan manufacturing to make a living. When the metropolises of the north were able to absorb more than 70 percent of the population of the country by relying on manufacturing, the regime of the minority of mine owners and farmers in the country could not maintain its independence at all.

At that time, Qianchuan will be able to fight in a dignified manner.

……

The autumn wind swept across the northern land.

After arriving in the Patrol Plains from the south by train, Yu Lan passed through the city of the Patrol Plains, and saw the relaxing mountains and rivers in the north along the way.

There are railroads, concrete highways, buildings, and huge power generation towers. These are generally one size larger than the southern ones. The transmission tower should be one size larger, and the railway should be one section wider. Of course, these buildings are somewhat old.

Qianchuan has been constantly building in recent years, and the city has been constantly renovated. At this time, Tsunahara had no intention of investing in infrastructure such as railways.

This has led to a dull scene in the north of these infrastructures. In the twilight, on the short 100-kilometer road, the street lights and signal lights failed in many places. The cars on the road are also more or less dilapidated, and none of them are new.

Yu Lan saw with his own eyes that the two drivers on the road wiped the car sideways with each other, and then after getting out of the car, one took out a bottle of wine and warmed each other's bodies, and then one got into the car and the other person was outside to command, and after moving the car away, they greeted each other and left. Everyone was surprised.

Such a bold style makes Yu Lan staggered.

……

Seven hours later.

Feather Blue followed the guide to the Polestar Gate building.

A few years ago, Yu Lan never imagined that he would visit the commercial building of the Northern Demon Gate in the name of business.

In the current world, the rivers and lakes of Qianchuan have been drained. With the advancement of the general social order, the employment status of every household is on the government files, and all unemployed people are focused on monitoring and included in the poverty alleviation work. As for illegal business activities? Tut-tut, the trees are falling and scattered, these brothers on the rivers and lakes report each other in order to get rid of crimes and reduce their sentences in front of the government machine, and stage a plastic brotherhood. The rivers and lakes of Qianchuan can basically only be stirred up among the gangsters who have just dropped out of middle school.

And on the side of Xunyuan, the recklessness of the rivers and lakes is still the same.

Yu Lan saw two young people at the entrance of the building, they were wearing formal clothes, tattoos on their wrists, and they looked like social people. Feather Blue is like a world away.

Yu Lan handed over his business card, and the doorman looked at the company on Yu Lan's business card and realized that it was the Southern Sect. A smile appeared on his face, and from the cuffs of his clothes, the tentacles of metal chains of blades rushed out of his wrists, and the flying blade chains on them could only be done by at least a fourth-level spell bit.

Seeing this, Yu Lan took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He looked at the young man in front of him and smiled.

The chain of blades beside the doorman was stretched into a loop, and he said in a tone that was not accommodating at all: "Old gentleman, the door has been busy with affairs recently, and I am tired of waiting for you. (This is a slang phrase, similar to the Earth Recruitment, "Go back and wait for news.") ”）

Yu Lan took a puff of his cigarette and responded in the black dialect of the rivers and lakes: "Today, I can't be a guest, he may have to ask for a glass of wine when he goes up the mountain one day." (In the past, mountain bandits would usually say to the owner of the village, "Come here to ask for a glass of wine to quench your thirst", but now this sentence means, don't toast and don't eat and punish wine.) ）

Yu Lan released these words because he knew that this was the beginning of the dismount, otherwise how could the Pole Star Gate send a fourth-level spell position out to see the gate at will?

The young man at the door heard the sharp edge in Yu Lanzi's words, his eyes were cold, and there was a click on his wrist, which was the sound of the machine spring firing, and a fingernail-sized blade slashed towards Yu Lanzi's cheek, judging from the trajectory, it was to give Yu Lanzi a wound on his face.

However, this splash of silver light suddenly snapped, and flashed like a bamboo explosion over fire, and the fluttering blade was disintegrated by the fire light ignited by the electric charge, and stuck upside down on the xylem of the large potted plant on the side.

Yu Lan stared at the young man who was doing it, and his aura pressed over, making him take two steps back.

After a few seconds.

Yu Lan turned to leave. However, the young man felt that he had to save face, and under the tumbling of blood, he immediately took a step forward and wanted to catch up and give another dismount, but an old man behind him exclaimed: "Shu'er be careful." As soon as he finished speaking, a cigarette butt fell on his spinning chain, like gunpowder being ignited, and the metal chain was instantly ignited, bursting out with dazzling sparks.

Yu Lan is a fire-based spell position, and it is at the grandmaster level, as long as he wants, the entire ground floor of the building can be lit with surging fire. However, the spark now only burned the metal chain, and under the lack of oxygen, it immediately contained the flames, which was regarded as a punishment for the person who did it.

At this time, Yu Lanzi had already walked down the steps, and the letter in his hand was thrown over.

Yu Lan's voice sighed to herself: "It's good to do it yourself." ”

……

At the Pole Star Gate that night, the patriarchs of the sect gathered together and looked at the photos of the killer who had been missing for several years in the sect, and there was only one sentence on the letter: "Don't bother him." ”

And stamped at the end is a seal from Chikawa's diplomatic department. and a remittance slip with an electronic code with an address ending in 00001.

Of course, none of this is as eye-catching as the signature of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing at the bottom: blazing white.
