Chapter 861: The End (7)
On October 3, when the parliament was busy with the first round of the prime minister's vote, Li Yang took a few attachés and William to the first important trading town on the border, Shanhaiguan.
"You have worked hard in the south for so many years, and when you come back, you naturally have to be properly settled, but you also understand that you are not Zhang Changsheng and Wen Xinxin's gang of warriors, stuffed into the army, you can do it anywhere, government officials, you must understand the local situation in order to govern, the local is different from the south, these years, the local area pays more attention to stability, unlike the south, which has been fighting, let's take a walk, let you be familiar with the current local environment, so that you can govern in the future and have a clear idea."
This trip, Li Yang also wanted to go, there were not too many attachés, even if it was by train, he did not take his special train, but rented a private room at random, except for Li Yang and William, there were only four attachés, two attachés of the secretariat and two capable people of the special service team.
It was considered to be a distraction, of course, the masters of the special service team still followed in a special way to prevent accidents.
However, although Li Yang is not the strongest among human beings, the almost immortal body brought by the supreme dragon blood makes him not have so many worries.
William found a comfortable position and leaned back on his seat and said: "Actually, I have heard about the prosperity of the homeland, I am in the south, and I have always been in the rear to unify and economy, settle the population and land, and the war is almost all the work of the army and the logistics department, and I am just responsible for receiving it." ”
"Doesn't that mean you Americans can't be modest? How much of the difficulty of the south has been alleviated by the continuous import of rubber, sugar, timber, and cotton to the north over the years? The local area is too far north, if you want some southern crops, you need to get it, those merchants are mercenary, without your management, they would have been in chaos. ”
William showed a shrewd smile: "It's still cultivated in the general environment, if I just say thank you, this is what I should do, it seems too arrogant." ”
"It's better to be arrogant than those people hiding and letting people guess."
"It's all for human beings, a little careful, in general, it's still for the country, and there have only been three cases of embezzlement over the years, which shows that Your Majesty was still very accurate in knowing people back then."
It's not good to get involved in this topic, I can only say good things, since William has been estranged from Chen Ang, he is a foreigner, and he has no friends here, after all, in the homeland, there are few blonde and blue-eyed foreigners who are officials, and he is the only one above the deputy minister, he can only hug Li Yang's thigh when he returns to his hometown, and if he wants to stand firm, he can only hug Li Yang's thigh.
This is also what the two people present know well, so they have this trip.
Li Yang said with a smile: "You have done a good job in the south this time, over the years, the territory in the south has been expanding, you have managed it very well, I have not found too many problems with the officials in the south twice and one unannounced visit, your royal family's ability is very good, whether it is to deal with the world or the ability to do things, it is the best choice, call you back, I want to entrust me with a heavy responsibility." ”
"You have to familiarize yourself with the situation in the north first, and then you have to be in the south for many years, even if you adapt to the climate, it will take time."
William was not modest this time, Li Yang wanted to bring him up, so he naturally wouldn't be polite.
The two took the train and walked down the train station, they saw that the train station was very lively, as soon as they got out of the station, there were stalls doing small business everywhere, and the city management could not drive them away, these backpackers, the goods were either hidden on their bodies, or they were only with samples to solicit business, and the bulk goods were placed elsewhere, although the clothes were prosperous, but they looked a little dirty and messy, they could have left from the fast lane, but in order to see the people's feelings more clearly, they walked from this main channel.
"Are there so many aliens here?" William looked at a big-shouldered and round-waisted earth demon man peddling there with an iron lump in his hand, and he didn't shy away from it, although there were some disdainful glances around, no one drove him away.
As far as the eye can see, there are goblins, werewolves, degenerates, tiger people, and harpies, and this is simply a meeting of the hundred tribes.
"The four major foreign trade places in the Northeast all allow foreigners to come here to do business, and similarly, because of our openness, the surrounding races also allow human beings to enter, and we both protect each other and benefit each other."
Li Yang pointed to a whitewashed red line under his feet and said, "However, there is also a boundary, the demon clan can only stay in these four cities, once the line is crossed, there will be no mercy." ”
"It seems that the country has been really peaceful in recent years, and I have lived in the south for a long time, but I can't imagine this scene."
William sighed that he was in the south, receiving the rebels every day, settling the wounded, watching the troop carriers, warships, and merchant ships transporting strategic materials and troops.
"If we want to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, we must continue to fight, otherwise, the soldiers will have a comfortable mentality, and when the soldiers eat food, they must fight, this is the principle of heaven, only the army that keeps forging ahead and pioneers can ensure the peak combat effectiveness and deserve to enjoy the current treatment of officers and soldiers."
"But the country also needs to develop and recover steadily, and this generation has already lost a lot, and you have to wait for the next generation to grow up." William answered.
Li Yang's thoughts have always been upright and bright, letting everyone know that as long as they do not go against the direction set by Li Yang, their subordinates can use it at will.
"That's right, opening up the southern battlefield, not only to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, to deter the outside, but also not to affect the homeland, even if the war is devastated, it will not affect the homeland, and the more fierce the south fights, the more stable the north, these demons who have signed a contract with us around are thieves, as their vitality has recovered over the years, and the human race has become richer and richer, they have been staring at this piece of fat all the time, if our army is silent, they will not be able to bear it for a long time."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and thoughtful, and I am ashamed of myself." William bowed respectfully.
They had already walked far away from the train station while talking, and looking at the various creatures in the streets, chocobos, horses, griffins, horned eagles, mountain goats, high-speed turtles, etc., made people feel the excitement of the city.
Li Yang hadn't been here for a long time, and suddenly he had an idea, grabbed William's hand, and said: "I heard that there is a restaurant here in Shanhaiguan where the food is good, and there are foreign dishes brought back by cooks who are mixed with other races, and they taste quite good, let's go and take a look." ”
