27. Deliberations
(Thank you for the support of the book friends "The Immortal King!", "God's Loneliness" and "Life Picture Scroll" monthly passes, thank you!)
The witches got into the car, which was a slightly larger car than a medium bus, with rows of seats in the middle, and it was more comfortable to sit in, and the driver spoke: "Everyone, please do well, the car will start." ”
The driver is two, mainly due to the long distance, which may not be enough for one person.
The witches became nervous one by one, the driver touched with mental power, the sound of the vehicle was very small, which was stronger than the car in Wang Qi's previous life, almost the vehicle had no voice processing, and the car drove forward, and the witches' bodies involuntarily fell back, and then it was normal.
The car drove along the highway, driving fast, the scenery outside the window receded, because industrialization is still in its infancy, there is not much pollution, the surrounding environment is very good, Wang Qinian looked out the window, the witches chattered and discussed, they were the first time to sit in the magic car, a qiē is very fresh.
They found that Wang Qinian was not lying, and the car was very fast. After a day and a night of hurrying, the driver also changed people, passed through two small cities, and a few small towns, Wang Qinian sighed in his heart, Yi'an is still too populated, on the way, almost no people can be seen, although in the past few years, there are many immigrants, plus the local aborigines, but the overall situation, the population is too small, many places are not wastelands, or forests, can build roads in a few years, mainly thanks to magicians and puppets and the like, if you use people, I am afraid that you can't build such a long road, that's it, the road is also simple。
But it doesn't matter, there aren't many vehicles at the moment. With the road, Yi'an has finally formed a whole, and in some places, there are only three or four households, mainly for the purpose of establishing a communication base station, and there will be people.
Wang Qinian thought about building a railway in his mind, the steam engine has been successfully trial-produced, the transportation capacity of the railway is much greater than that of the highway, first build an east-west passage, if the army is sent to the Shun lì. Capture a piece of land in the eastern foothills of the Andi Mountains that Bactria has not yet had time to colonize. To gain access to the sea and build a coastal city on the edge of the endless ocean, it is necessary to build a major artery that runs from east to west, and the Andean Mountains are a barrier. Tunnels are to be built. Fortunately, there are magicians. Earth magic, in particular, combined with technicians, should be able to break through the Andean Mountains. In this way, from the Sea Eagle Fort on the edge of the Sunset Ocean in the east to the endless ocean in the west, it is necessary to build several railways in the north-south direction.
"Wang, what are you thinking about?" Xiaoshuang saw Wang Qinian's eyes looking out of the window, motionless, knowing that Wang Qinian was thinking, so he asked.
Ju Nong and the others also calmed down, Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm thinking about whether to build a railway." ”
Xiaoshuang knew that she had followed Wang Qinian to the steam engine research institute, knew about the steam engine, and had heard Wang Qinian talk about the use of the steam engine, and even saw the experimental rails.
"You mean a locomotive driven by a steam engine along the railroad tracks?" asked Xiaoshuang.
Wang Qinian nodded: "I'm thinking about whether to build a railway starting from Seahawk Fort and crossing the Andean Mountains to the edge of the endless ocean. ”
"It costs a lot of money?" Xiaoshuang is now a money junkie.
"It's a lot of money, and now the treasury of the country is very full, and the population of the country is small, but foreign trade brings a lot of profits every year, and more money is also a disadvantage, so you have to find a way to spend the money. Wang Qinian said.
"Why spend the money, those shiny gold coins look very comfortable, besides, they can be given to the residents of the country. Xiaoshuang asked puzzled.
Wang Qinian shook his head: " It's not that I'm stingy, but I can't make a big deal, otherwise it will cause prices to skyrocket, now there is more money, and the number of goods is limited, the banking sector can not send money at will, overproduction has begun to show signs, now our country exports a large number of commodities overseas, overseas money continues to flow in, tax revenue alone is very amazing, although it is still very early from the saturation of the market, if the money is issued, the people will lie in the pile of money, but it will cause many problems of laziness of the people, money must flow, now is the time for infrastructure construction, spend the money reasonably, in the process, let everyone benefit, governing the country is a university question, a little carelessThe results may not be what you imagined, and good intentions may do bad things. ”
Xiaoshuang shook his head: "This question is too profound, you can't actually send money, didn't the countries of Taixi also come over?"
"That's different, their people are still in a situation of very low productivity, food and clothing have not been solved, we are different, a large number of new technologies have been adopted, most of agricultural production has adopted construction and puppet operations, the labor force in society has begun to transfer to industry, the textile industry and the shipbuilding industry, the vehicle industry, the military industry, etc. have digested a large number of labor force, and there are some bad signs in society, especially for the non-Iranian black workers, there are no less than hundreds of thousands, they do not have the nationality of the Ian country, the wages are very low, the capitalists are always looking for high profits, this phenomenon will create new inequality, this phenomenon has been noticed at the top, is thinking of a way to eliminate. On the one hand, Wang Qinian answered Xiaoshuang's questions, and on the other hand, he also pointed out that new questions are emerging one after another.
When Kikuno heard this, he asked, "As a member of the parliament, I heard that I have the right to put forward bills, can I raise this issue?"
"Yes, the purpose of the National Convention is to be able to go down to the grassroots level, find problems, raise problems, and of course, propose solutions, and gather the wisdom of all people to solve problems. Wang Qinian said.
"What if someone disagrees with the government?"
"Of course, you can, it's not that you are the echo worm of the government, your role also has the function of supervising the government, a parliamentarian's speech, as long as it does not violate the laws of the country, no matter what you say, it is protected by the law, seeking common ground while reserving differences. Wang Qinian said, and came up with a sentence that he had heard many times in his previous life, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Others didn't feel abnormal at all, they just felt that Wang Qinian's language was relatively fresh, and after Wang Qinian said this, Ju Nong had a deeper understanding of the position he held as a councilor, and asked another question: "Is there a term limit for parliamentarians or deputies?"
"There is no restriction on this, but six years is a term, and after that, whether you are still a councillor or not is chosen by each region, of course, at present, some regions, such as your witch tribe, and the elf tribe are directly appointed, and we also accept it, you have this tradition, but most of the regions, the election method is adopted. Wang Qinian explained, "In this way, the legislators can basically represent the majority of the people's opinions." ”
They discussed in the car, after a long journey, finally arrived at the southwest border city of Ulatu, Ulatu is a small city with a population of 1120,000, developed by the local Uratu tribe, but three-quarters of the population of the city is a latecomer, the city streets are wide, the houses are neat, the infrastructure has been equivalent to the city of Yi'an, the urban construction of the country, have formed a certain standard, the city supporting facilities, such as water, sanitation facilities and street lights.
Wang Qinian came directly to the city government, the city government has received the news, the communication system has already informed Wang Qinian of their whereabouts and tasks to the municipal personnel, as soon as Wang Qinian arrived, all kinds of situations converged into his hands, including the whereabouts of Sham and others, some people have seen them, and they are still in the Andy Mountains, which almost traverse the entire Yi'an Island, but the direction is north-south.
It's just that someone found out that the intelligence officers and police of Yi Anguo didn't do anything, because Wang Qinian had made it clear that they were not opponents of Sham and others, so they were just collecting information instead of startling snakes.
Sham they have not yet arrived, they will not come to Ulatu, they must leave the country directly from the Andi Mountains, there are still three or four days to go, Wang Qinian got this information, and began to think about where to intercept it.
After searching on the map for a long time, Wang Qinian's eyes focused on one of the colonies of Hippan, which was in the Andean Mountains, where the Andean Mountains formed two rivers, and the two rivers were holding each other, forming a narrow strip between them, and the rivers did not meet, but flowed into a valley, the narrowest point was only more than two miles, and a land was formed between the two rivers, and then the two rivers separated, one to the southeast and the other to the south.
If you go south from the Andean Mountains, there are many roads in other places, but here, if you don't cross the river, you can only pass through here, these two rivers originate in the Andean Mountains, one is the Red River, the other is the New Tiber, the Red River goes to the southeast, while the Tiber River goes south, and continues to the south, until after five hundred miles, it joins another great river, the Yosun River, and turns east.
Wang Qinian looked at the map carefully, Ju Nong waited anxiously on the side, and Xiaoshuang said, "Wang, where are you sure to intercept those thieves?"
Wang Qinian pointed to this place with his hand: "It's here!"
Xiaoshuang looked at it: "This is not in Yi'an, but out of Yi'an, in the colony of Xipan, but there are no people here, why did you choose to be here?"
Wang Qinian was just about to answer, but Ju Nong spoke: "There was originally an Indida tribe here, and then they avoided Hipan and the whole tribe moved to the mountains, why did you choose to be here?"
"Because there are two rivers here, if they go all the way up the mountain, this is the only exit, and other places may diverge, but not here, we will wait for them here. Wang Qinian said.
Hearing Wang Qinian say this, Ju Nong and the other witches took a closer look, and sure enough, there was only one way, and suddenly realized in their hearts, Ju Nong nodded and said, "We are waiting here, how far are we from here?"
"Judging from the map, about 200 miles, we should be able to arrive in two days, after all, everyone is capable. Wang Qinian said.
"Would you like us to help and call in some police?" asked the person who said the city. (To be continued......)
