survival in the wilderness

Mingcheng developed rapidly, and there were many outsiders, and gradually developed homestays, hotels, etc.

The City Lord's Mansion has a special reception area, and several people took Lin Yan to settle down.

During this trip, Lin Yan planned to visit several cities together with Hua Min. Mingcheng was the first stop. After a general inspection on the first day, it was better than expected.

After arranging the dormitory, a few people are in the room, discussing the existing problems in Mingcheng in detail.

On the surface everything looks fine, but there are still many problems.

This is what Lin Yan wanted to know when he came here. In fact, with Shui Sheng and the others in charge, Lin Yan was not too worried.

Yun Qing took the lead and said: "Mingcheng set up a regiment of troops, which is composed of five brigades. Important positions such as brigade captains are stationed from Sun City, but the ordinary soldiers below are almost all Mingcheng locals. In order to appease them, vacancies positions are gradually being filled by locals.”

"The military department originally planned to change positions every five years, but in the past year, some people have been restless. People in Mingcheng want their own people to take the position, and they keep making small moves in secret. It seems to be stable for the time being, but if you let it go, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Shui Sheng: "The number of people sent from Sun City is too small, which has raised some people's hearts. The military has a lot to do with it, and we have also discussed it. We plan to reorganize the team, disrupt the people in several cities, and disperse them for easy management. "

Lin Yan pondered, "The changes are too big. If there is a backlash, Sun City's military strength is only eight brigades, and they cannot all be sent out to suppress it. It would be bad if it caused turmoil."

Hong Ling: "This is also our concern. The Arbitration Court has not agreed for a long time, and is still thinking of a better solution."

"Actually, it's not only Mingcheng that has such a problem, but also Qingyan and Yuanye, which makes people worry." Yun Qing frowned slightly, "These people forget their original intentions and conscience when they live a good life. Want to hold power, completely disregarding ordinary people."

"Power corrodes people's hearts." Lin Yan sighed, "The most basic food and clothing needs to be solved, so there is no need to think about other things. Everyone has selfishness and wants to become a master. When it develops to a certain stage, these problems cannot be solved. avoid."

Shui Sheng: "We expected it before, but the fight came earlier. There are also open and secret fights in Sun City, and each has its own ideas."

Speaking of this, everyone felt a little uncomfortable. They used to be high-spirited and smug, but the reality was always unsatisfactory.

Hua Min: "In this year's general election, the competition is very fierce, and factional disputes are gradually emerging. The minds of the arbitrators have also changed. They are not as pure as Ah Lan, and they are dedicated to the public."

"Alan is special, and it will be difficult to find someone like Alan in the future." Lin Yan has already recognized the reality, "Don't worry too much, everyone, there are conflicts at every stage, we just need to make sure The general direction is right, just go on unswervingly.”

Lin Yan said firmly, "Whoever dares to cross the line and violate the law will never tolerate it. The law is our bottom line, and we must stick to the authority and dignity of the law."

"Shuisheng, you and Huang Ying have done a lot of work in popularizing the law in the past few years. How is the effect?"

"Ordinary people have a good acceptance and have consciously fought to protect their rights. 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 hold power."

Shui Sheng thought for a while and said: "Our monitoring mechanism is still not enough, which has fostered the ambitions of many people. I am thinking, how can we prevent government officials from giving and accepting bribes."

Lin Yan said without hesitation: "Increase the punishment. Those who dared to do so did not pay a heavy price. The current law still imposes lighter penalties on public servants. In addition, set up a reporting mechanism to let the public watch, then It’s more reassuring to watch with multiple eyes than to watch with a few people. Anyone who can provide evidence and is verified by verification will be severely punished.”

Shuisheng's eyes lit up, "That's right, we can set up a reporting mechanism that can be anonymous, implement rewards and punishments, and motivate the public. Let me think about it again and promulgate a comprehensive system as soon as possible."

There was light in Yun Qing's eyes, "The military department can also follow suit. There are so many ordinary soldiers, and letting them stare at them is related to their vital interests. It is not easy for individual people to deceive others."

Several people discussed for more than an hour, bursting out many new ideas.There is Shui Sheng, he is the arbiter, and it is most suitable for him to propose.

For the next five days, Lin Yan wandered around Ming City in a low-key manner, getting a more comprehensive understanding.

Generally speaking, although there are disadvantages, the development is relatively good.

Afterwards, she and Hua Min took the boat to Qingyan City and headed south.

Lin Yan enjoyed the scenery along the way.Compared with the original route, there is nothing but weeds on the shore.

Today, on both sides of the river, there are temporary places to stop and rest after walking a short distance. Piers and houses have been built on the banks of the river, and people can be seen along the way.

"Hua Min, where do these people come from?"

"There are people everywhere, and there are people scattered nearby. They are gradually discovered, and temporary stops are built along the way to support many people. In addition to doing business to make some money, these people also reclaim wasteland around them, and their lives are getting better and better. good."

Hua Min often takes this route, "The alliance divides them into cities under the jurisdiction of each region, and they are all people with household registration. When the next stop is reached, there is a road leading to Qingyan City, which is the people of Qingyan and Yuanye City. It was repaired on my own initiative. Of course, the alliance paid a part of the money, the road has been repaired, and the road leading to Sun City and Ming City is still under investigation."

"Since the road was built, the popularity has become stronger and stronger, and there seem to be fewer and fewer ferocious beasts in this area."

Lin Yan was thoughtful, "Vicious beasts seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they also know how to find soft persimmons. 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 fierce beasts. Veterinarians are smart, and if they know they can’t be provoked, they will take the initiative to avoid them.”

"You are right. In recent years, the population has grown very fast. Most families have at least three or four children, and those who can have children are still being 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. We went out this time and walked through a large area of ​​no man's land. I think the population is still too small."

"According to the current population growth rate, within five years, the entire population will double." Hua Min once thought deeply, "Especially the large-scale growth of the population under the age of five will bring about a lack of educational resources. Get ready."

Lin Yan agreed, "You're right, you need to make preparations in advance. Especially the needs of kindergartens are the most urgent. You need to make plans early. Other resources you need, such as food and clothing, these foundations are already in place. , don’t worry too much.”

During the boat trip for half a month, Lin Yan saw all the places along the way, discussed a lot with Hua Min, and needed to plan too much in advance.
