"There are not these two kinds of people?" Xu Qian was even more confused. He could understand without servants, but how could a country have no officials? When there are officials, there will naturally be distinctions in ranks, and there will inevitably be high and low levels.
"Yes, Mr. Xu. Our public officials here do not distinguish between high and low positions. Except for technical staff, managers do not even distinguish between professional fields. They are all rotated. These situations are common in the city of time and space. If it were not in I studied before taking up the job, but I didn’t even know that there are high and low levels of public officials in other major cities!”
"How can there be no distinction between high and low positions? Even if there is a transfer, the position will be transferred or promoted at the same level, and it doesn't matter who is the leader. How to decide whose opinion should prevail? Who will bear the responsibility? Everyone should Whose orders are you taking?”
"Of course I obey the city lord's orders! Everything is subject to the city lord's opinion!" Hua Jian's reaction was so natural, because in her opinion, this is what should be done.
"Although your city of time and space only has the main city, unlike other main cities that have many large and small cities, it still has a population of over 100 million, and it can be considered a big country on Earth. How many big and small things are there in a day? , all listen to the city lord, can he listen to it? Can he manage it? "
"It's like this, Mr. Xu, when dealing with matters within a certain range, there will be a person with decision-making power among public officials, which is equivalent to what you call a leader, but this person is only dealing with a certain matter. He has the decision-making power when something happens or during a certain period of time, but it is replaced by someone else during other events or during a certain period of time. This position is likely to be held by every public official."
This reminded Xu Qian of the squad leader election rotation system implemented in some classes at Yingyu School. That is, the squad leader changes every month, and every student in the class is eligible to run.
"This does achieve equality, but it also sacrifices efficiency! Excellent people and professional people should make long-term and stable decisions. I think for the sake of equality, let some unsuitable people make decisions, even if it is only temporary. It’s also enough for the entire group to suffer bad results during events or periods of time when mediocre decision-making takes place.”
"Mr. Xu, the situation you mentioned may exist in other major cities, but it does not exist here. Because if someone makes an unwise choice when making a decision, he will receive a reprimand from the city lord. , correct the mistake immediately. So it doesn’t matter who makes this decision.”
Xu Qian was shocked. He looked at Qinglong, who looked out the window with a thoughtful expression.
"You mean, the Lord of Time and Space City is in charge of everything? He can have a hand in every detail of the eating, drinking, and drinking of hundreds of millions of you people? Is he still a human being?"
"The city lord is God! I know that the concept of 'god' is different in other places from our city of time and space. Here, god refers to the city lord, and the city lord is God. This word was created for him. !”
Xu Qian was speechless. Under the coverage of spiritual consciousness, one can indeed understand the affairs of the world, as long as the coverage of spiritual consciousness is large enough. But for ordinary monks, it is very tiring to unfold their spiritual consciousness for such a detailed investigation for a long time. Even if it is not so detailed, it is just a rough investigation, and it will not be able to persist over time. To be like the Lord of Time and Space City, the powerful and terrifying soul required is beyond what Xu Qian can imagine at his level.
But looking at it from another perspective, it is not impossible to achieve this. As long as the soul is strong enough, Xu Qian can also do it.
"If this is the case, it will indeed solve many problems such as official corruption and poor supervision. What about you, do you have a way to contact the city lord at any time?"
"Well! Of course there is a way! The city lord welcomes us to communicate with him, but if we take the initiative to contact the city lord, there is only one way, and that is to go to the city lord's statue. As long as we contact the city lord within three kilometers of the city lord's statue, we can Talked to him."
Xu Qian slapped his thigh. Fortunately, what Hua Jian said was not "prayer", otherwise he almost thought that the so-called "God" mentioned by the Vatican guys was the vest of the Lord of Time and Space City on Earth.
"Where is the statue of the city lord?"
"Mr. Xu, the statue of the City Lord is not an attraction. Non-residents of the City of Time and Space are not allowed to approach it. So I haven't mentioned it to you before."
Can't get closer? Xu Qian originally planned to meet the city lord through this method, but it was no longer possible. wrong! Since the Lord of Time and Space City is so awesome, it means that if he uses his spiritual sense to communicate with him within the scope of Time and Space City, the other party can theoretically sense it.
In this case, just do it.
"Mr. Shi - I am Xu Qian. I came to the City of Time and Space to meet you for coffee. Can you show up and meet me?"
Just when he was about to repeat it, the response came quickly.
"Xu Qian, I have something to do and I can't get away now. I'll see you next time. You have a good time in the city. The days are long."
I go! He really unfolds his consciousness all the time, this guy is so awesome!
Xu Qian had to give in. He believed that even Qinglong could not do this. No matter they are gods or immortals, they all get tired. There is no eternal life in the world, and there is no inexhaustible energy. If there is, it is only because the value range of the observed data is too small to get a full picture. Even stars will eventually burn out and decline.
However, the strength of the Time and Space City Lord once again shocked classmate Xiao Xu, once again enhanced his knowledge, and deepened his curiosity about this mysterious man.
Unfortunately, the city lord refused this meeting, which ruined Xu Qian's plan.
"Do we need to be allowed to go to a place three kilometers away from the Statue of the City Lord?" Qinglong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this.
"Yes, Mr. Meng is right. Tourists can still go as long as they don't enter within the three-kilometer radius. It's just that it's so far away and you can't see anything, so there's no point in going there."
"Let's go, go now." Qinglong actually became interested in this city lord.
Qinglong's move played right into Xu Qian's heart, and there was a hint of excitement in his heart. Maybe you can learn some secrets from Qinglong soon!
A circle with a radius of three kilometers is a large area, enough to form a small city. Here at the statue of the city lord, there is a large empty flat land. In general attractions or performances, the more people go in, the more people come in. Those who come late can only find a place to stay outside, but it is different here. The effect is the same within three kilometers, so people give priority to the outer areas. There are too many people. If there are too many, then we will go in. Therefore, from three kilometers away, there are conveyor belts to transport people in. According to Huajian, there are 24 round-trip two-way conveyor belts responsible for transporting people.
There is a wall at three kilometers, and the twenty-four conveyor belts correspond to the twenty-four entrances. The wall is only symbolic. Although it has no meaning to the monks, few people dare to run wild here.
"What exactly do you want to do here?" Xu Qian lowered his voice.
"Look! What do you think I want to do?"
"Look? Didn't you 'see' everything with just a sweep of your consciousness? Do you need to come here specially?"
Qinglong did not respond to this question, but slowly rose into the air.
When Hua Jian saw Qinglong's actions, he immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Meng, come down quickly! Flying is prohibited here! Come down quickly!"
The laws of the City of Time and Space are very strict, and it is impossible to hide it from the city lord. It is impossible to take chances.
Their location is equivalent to a parking lot, where all flying cars, or amphibious and amphibious passenger aircraft, will land here. In the world of monks, flying is considered disrespectful to the strong. You must fall to the ground before approaching the statue of the city lord, just like the Holy See does not allow believers to wear hats to worship the statue.
Suddenly, four figures appeared around Qinglong at the same time. The auras of these four people are not weak, they are all great monks in the phaseless realm, and they are all holding guns, and the muzzles of the guns are pointed towards the green dragon in the middle.
Seeing the appearance of the four people, Hua Jian's expression changed drastically. She wanted to shout something but couldn't make a sound at all. For her, Qinglong's actions would undoubtedly bring disaster to her. If both parties took action today, no matter what the outcome, she, the tour guide, would have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.
