19. Holidays and Storms (4)
"It's so pretty......"
Nona, who had no resistance to the uniform, clinged to the window glass, her eyes moving behind as the carriage moved, her tail flicking out of her skirt.
"It's really beautiful, but it's not easy work, one stop is half a day, and you have to keep waving the signal board and the baton, and the male policemen have a lot of yelling that they can't stand it. ”
The opinions and reports submitted by the female policemen have long been in the hands of Li Lin, but the municipal department has no good solution for a while. With so many people on hand, all departments are rushing to ask for interns, and it is impossible to cover everything. To be able to ensure the production and manufacturing of each factory has been desperate.
In terms of technology, we have prepared signal lights, and we are in the process of finalizing them. However, as it is part of a huge municipal planning project, it is not immediately possible to invest in helping to manage traffic and ease the work of the policewomen.
"Look, that strange carriage has no horses!"
Pascal cried out as if he had discovered a new world, and pointed with his right hand to a man who had been driving smoothly on the road without any animal traction, with a horn on top of his head resting on a metal wire hanging above.
The monster was apparently a man-made vehicle, and through the window glass it could be seen that there were passengers standing or sitting, and it was impossible to imagine a land vehicle other than a horse-drawn carriage, so the half-breed had to be called it.
"It was a tram. Shrugging: "It is mainly used for the citizens in the city to travel, and in the future, intercity transportation will be handed over to the train." ”
"It's amazing~~~~~"
The children watched intently at the various magical industrial wonders on the streets and alleys, and exclaimed in amazement. Brunhill and Li Lin explain to them that every aspect of this emerging city is attracting three children, who are greedy for new knowledge and insight.
It is the only city in Wilt that has started to use electric and methane gas lamps to provide nighttime light for the public, and it not only surpasses many large cities in terms of size and population, but also has a much larger economy and technology industry than any other human city.
Located in the southwest block, there are flour mills, paper mills, printing mills, sugar mills, and distilleries...... Countless factories operate day and night. Wagons of horses sent wheat, milk, pigs, iron ore, timber and other raw materials into the factory, and then sent away all kinds of goods such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Exchange it for gold and silver and bring it back.
Under the growing demand for production capacity, the elf workers are almost unable to meet the monthly refresh indicators in three shifts, and the demand for new technologies is imminent. Steam engines and generators derived from the use of high-pressure steam to store the flame-based heating of water and the use of high-pressure steam instead of livestock work are in trial operation, in addition to powering trams and street lights. Make the urban living environment more convenient. These new devices were mainly developed to meet the needs of industry. Soon, those big and bulky guys will set off a huge wave of industrial revolution.
It's hard work right now, but the elves are happy that their quality of life is really improving. Li Lin and his ruling team did not plan for Yalfheim as a rigid Soviet system that prioritized heavy industrialization and military expansion. Alfheim practiced a loose economic model that was dependent on V.E. Konzein. Within the scope of the system, the private economy and macroeconomic regulation and control coexist. There are more consumer goods on the market than in other cities of all races, and citizens have more savings than in other cities.
In such an environment, the culture of utilitarianism spread among the burghers.
"That's the price. The biggest victim of economic policy said: "The civil service and the military have a lot of opinions about this." ”
Speaking of which, those two departments are not actually opposed to the activity of business and the increase in government revenue. They don't have any reason to object. But they just don't have a good time.
Civil servants have a strong problem with the regulations restricting civil servants from doing business and the civil servants' asset declaration system, especially the property declaration system, which clearly stipulates that Stacy has the right and obligation to participate in the disclosure of civil servants' assets.
They didn't even think of protesting against this, and even united to complain directly to Li Lin's side. But they may have the courage to face the secret police, but they don't have the courage to face the thrifty and almost perverted Li Lin.
In addition to the legal salary of a military man and the same salary as an ordinary worker, the only additional income is a few bonuses from the council to reward Li Lin for his efforts in building Yarfheim and forming an army, and all the money was spent on the three bear children, and Li Lin, who has not even solved his own housing problem, can be called the poorest leader. Looking at this leader, who no one could accuse him of corruption, the civil servants who had higher salaries than Li Lin and had their own three-bedroom house and villa outside the city finally swallowed their stomachs and complained, pushed the door and ran away in tears.
The military also attaches great importance to economic development, and a growing economy means a sustainable increase in military spending, and the army can have more money to research and equip what interests them. In an environment where the whole people are tightening their belts and engaging in military politics first. The elves are well aware that economic construction is the basis of armament building. Active-duty military personnel will reasonably wait for the council to review the budget and allocate funds for the development and purchase of new weapons. As long as there is no wanton deprivation of the military budget, they don't bother to care what the council is arguing about.
But the liberal and utilitarian ethos of the citizens gave the army a lot of problems. It is believed that this will corrupt the fighting spirit of the elves and affect the morale of the army.
Most of those who hold this argument are cadets and cadets. Their arguments were not only repeated in their mouths, but also published and circulated in the pamphlet they founded, the Knight of the Sorrowful Country. Overall, though. They haven't come into existence yet, so as long as they don't cause security problems, the police and gendarmes won't find them.
In the eyes of Li Lin and his staff, these nonsensical angry youth behaviors are more like trying to get their wealthy middle-class parents in trouble.
"Rebellious children. ”
Looking at a group of youth league members wearing light brown shirts, black suspender breeches, and brown scarves tied around the collar passing by across the road, Li Linchao was drinking chocolate milk, munching on all kinds of cream toast and old eggs with a meaningful smile.
PS: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: Congratulations!
