Mingcheng developed rapidly and attracted many outsiders. B&Bs, hotels, etc. gradually developed.
The city lord's mansion had a special reception area, and several people took Lin Yan to settle down.
During this trip, Lin Yan planned to visit several cities with Hua Min. Mingcheng was the first stop. After a rough look on the first day, it was better than expected.
After arranging a place to stay, a few people were in the room and discussed in detail the existing problems in Mingcheng.
On the surface everything looks fine, but there are still many problems.
This is what Lin Yan wants to know here. In fact, with Shui Sheng and the others in charge, Lin Yan is not too worried.
Yun Qing took the lead and said: "Mingcheng has set up a regiment of troops, consisting of five brigades. Important positions such as captains are all posted from Sun City, but the ordinary soldiers below are almost all locals from Mingcheng. In order to appease them, the vacancies are Positions are gradually being filled by locals."
"The military originally planned to rotate positions every five years, but in the past year, some people have been restless. The people in Mingcheng want their own people to be promoted, and they keep making small moves secretly. It seems to be relatively stable for the time being, but if we let it go, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Shui Sheng: "Sun City sent too few people, which raised the hearts of some people. The military is of great importance, and we have also discussed that we are going to reorganize the team, disrupt the people in several cities, and spread them out for easier management. "
Lin Yan pondered, "The changes are too big. If there is a backlash, Sun City only has eight brigades. We cannot send all of them out to suppress it. It will be bad if it causes unrest."
Hong Ling: "This is also our concern. The Arbitration Court has not agreed yet and is still thinking of a better solution."
"Actually, it's not just Mingcheng that has such a problem, Qingyan and Yuanye also have this problem, which makes people worry." Yun Qing frowned slightly, "These people have forgotten their true intentions and lost their conscience when they have a good life. They want to hold great power and have no regard for ordinary people.”
"Power corrodes people's hearts." Lin Yan sighed, "You can solve the most basic problems of food and clothing, but you don't have to think about other things. Everyone has selfish motives and wants to be a master. When it reaches a certain stage, these problems cannot be solved. avoid."
Shui Sheng: "We had expected it before, but the fight came earlier. There are also overt and covert fights in Sun City, and everyone has their own agenda."
When it comes to this, everyone feels a little uncomfortable. We used to be high-spirited and full of ambitions, but the reality is always unsatisfactory.
Hua Min: "In this year's general election, the competition is very fierce, and factional disputes are gradually emerging. The minds of several arbiters have also changed. They are not as pure and dedicated to the public as Alan."
"A-Lan is special. It will be difficult to find someone like A-Lan again in the future." Lin Yan had already recognized the reality. "Don't worry too much. There are contradictions in every stage. We just need to ensure that The general direction is right, just keep going unswervingly.”
Lin Yan said firmly, "Whoever dares to cross the line and violate the law will never be tolerated. The law is our bottom line. We must uphold the authority of the law and the dignity of the law."
"Shui Sheng, you and Huang Ying have done a lot of work in popularizing the law in the past few years. How has the effect been?"
"Ordinary people accept it very well and have the consciousness to fight to protect their rights and interests. What I am more worried about is that managers and civil servants at all levels think that they can trample on the law if they have power."
Shuisheng thought for a while and said: "Our supervision mechanism is still not enough, which has fostered the ambitions of many people. I am wondering how we can prevent public servants from giving and accepting bribes."
Lin Yan said without thinking: "Increase the punishment. Those who dare to do this still have not paid a heavy price. The current law still imposes light penalties on public officials. In addition, if a reporting mechanism is set up to let the public keep an eye on it, then It is always more reassuring to have multiple pairs of eyes watching than just one person watching. Anyone who can provide evidence that has been verified will be severely punished."
Shuisheng's eyes lit up, "Yes, we can set up a reporting mechanism, which can be anonymous, implement rewards and punishments, and motivate the people. I will think about it again and promulgate and implement a complete system as soon as possible."
There was light in Yun Qing's eyes, "The military can also follow suit. There are so many ordinary soldiers, and having them keep an eye on them is related to their own interests. It's not easy for an individual to deceive others."
Several people discussed for more than an hour and came up with many new ideas. There is water, he is the arbiter, and it is most appropriate for him to propose.
In the next five days, Lin Yan walked around Mingcheng in a low-key manner, gaining a more comprehensive understanding.
Generally speaking, although there are disadvantages, the development is relatively good.
Later, she and Hua Min took the boat to Qingyan City and headed south.
Lin Yan enjoyed the scenery along the way. Compared to the original route, there was nothing on the shore, just weeds.
Today, on both sides of the river, there are temporary resting places along the way. Piers and houses have been built along the river bank, and people can be seen along the way.
"Hua Min, where do these people come from?"
"They are found everywhere, and there are scattered people living nearby. They are gradually discovered. Temporary stops are built along the way and support many people. In addition to making some money through business, these people also reclaim wasteland in the surrounding areas, and their lives are getting better and better. good."
Hua Min often takes this road. "The alliance divides them into cities under the jurisdiction of each other by region. They are all people with household registration. When they reach the next stopping point, there is a land road leading to Qingyan City. Those are the people of Qingyan and Yuanye City. It was built on its own initiative. Of course, the alliance contributed part of the money, and the road has been built. The road leading to Sun City and Ming City is still under survey."
"Since the road was built, it has become more and more popular, and there seem to be fewer and fewer ferocious beasts operating in this area."
Lin Yan thoughtfully said, "Vicious beasts seek advantages and avoid harm, and they also know how to find weak persimmons to pinch. With more people, coupled with the continuous improvement of various tools and the use of explosives, people have more and more ways to deal with vicious beasts. Ferocious beasts If you are smart about animal science, you will take the initiative to avoid it if you know it is not to be provoked.”
"What you say makes sense. In recent years, the population has grown very fast. Most families have at least three or four children, and more and more children are born. Fortunately, food production has increased and land has increased. Otherwise, it would be a big problem to feed so many people. .”
Lin Yan said with a smile: "The land in the wasteland is suitable for planting. This population is still far from the vast wilderness. This time we went out and walked through large areas of no-man's land. I think the population is still too small."
"According to the current population growth rate, the entire population will double in less than five years." Hua Min once thought deeply, "Especially the large-scale growth of the population under five years old, which will bring about a lack of educational resources, so we must do it in advance." Be prepared."
Lin Yan agreed, "You are right. You need to prepare in advance. Especially for kindergartens, which are in urgent need, you need to make plans early. The foundations for other needed resources, food and clothing, are already in place. , don’t worry too much.”
After half a month of sailing, Lin Yan looked at all the places along the way and discussed a lot with Hua Min. There was a lot that needed to be planned in advance.
