doomed in dream

Chen Jiuqi once thought that Qu Fengyang's words of consolation that "the border town does not engage in individual heroism" were words of consolation for her, but when she arrived at the scene, she realized that she should have realized this sentence in the secret realm-it turned out that Qu Fengyang Lying again.

It's just that the lie was not about Nancheng, but about herself.

After meeting, exposing, and confessing, what Qu Fengyang showed seems to be her grasp of the outcome of survival, which stems from the fact that hiding outside Lu Nan is safe in the plot.

As for the conversation in a few words, Chen Jiuqi naturally felt that Qu Fengyang was ready to die or hide his name, so he didn't intend to show his true face in front of the heroine.

But Nancheng's government affairs system was telling her another answer.

When Chen Jiuqi entered the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion with the token, he was followed by the secretary of the council. The other party was a monk in the early Yuanying period, but at first she felt very dogmatic. After checking the token, she asked Chen Jiuqi two questions in a very businesslike manner. One is how to treat elite politics, and the other is to list some legal orders that should be added in the current business transactions in Nancheng.

Chen Jiuqi politely raised an objection to the parliamentary secretary: "But this time, I am entrusted with urgently launching defense and military measures?"

Although the secretary of the council is Senior Yuanying, although he spoke in a business-like manner, his tone was unassuming: "This is a rule left by the city lord. If you can't answer correctly, the token will not take effect and will be detained and disposed of by someone in the future."

Chen Jiuqi didn't need to look around to see if his escape route was blocked, and he didn't need to suspect that if he couldn't answer the question, the City Lord's Mansion would catch a turtle in his urn, because the secretary alone stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Jiuqi. Forget it: "Let's make sure first, how do you define the word elite?"

"Shuliuxia's Chengye, Ru Bashi's elite, monks who have memorized "Baopuzi", right?"

"But here it should be extended to refer to people."

"Yes, there is no ambiguity in your understanding." Although Chen Jiuqi didn't answer the question directly, when Chen Jiuqi pointed it out directly, the secretary of the parliament was not stingy with affirmation, so Chen Jiuqi can believe that the other party should be able to understand her next words, and she There is no need to speak more plainly in order to pass this "test".

"Governing the country requires sages, and peace of the people requires insight. If we can rule out prostitution and corruption, maintain an open and accepting attitude towards the elites in society, and effectively use them to serve the city people and even ordinary people, the current level of cultural and moral popularization in the cultivation world, It is the most appropriate." This is the answer to the first question, anyway, it is only about the attitude, not the specific measures.

"There are currently two main trades in Nancheng, one is the mutual market among border residents, and the other is the large-scale trade of special products such as dogwood and Huoyun concentrate, which are mainly sold to the north.

The area where Moxiu is allowed to enter the Nancheng District is only the Beicheng District, where there are also two designated border trade fairs approved by the City Lord's Mansion. "Chen Jiuqi had heard about it, and had walked around the inn with "Xiangmu" before the meeting, so while summarizing what he knew about the situation in Nancheng, he observed the secretary's face so that he could adjust and correct it in time if he made a mistake.

"Then there are two problems. Spirit stones are easily polluted in the hands of demon cultivators. For them, they are far more scarce than us ordinary monks. Therefore, the form of the market is more of an exchange of commodities that do not exceed the specified amount and quantity, and this This form often leads to disputes, because both parties to the transaction will not take the initiative to disclose the defects of their products, and may even exaggerate the advantages, which will eventually lead to losses for one party.

In disputes, for non-counterfeit and fraudulent goods, the other party often refuses the injured party’s claim for compensation on the grounds that different people have different subjective evaluations of the goods and thinks that the exchanged goods are equivalent when exchanging. "

Chen Jiuqi speaks fast, but it is her brain that spins faster than her speech. Of course, she has not done accurate market research, but many things can be seen, such as rampant peddlers and quarrels in the market, which are enough to make her Guess the current problem.

Then came the solution proposed by continuing to directly "brain supplement": "In terms of legal system, it is best to issue a common currency, and make a book to publish the guiding price of common commodities in the mutual market. Rare commodities need to be submitted to the official for valuation before trading."

"To support the issuance of currency, the City Lord's Mansion needs to have a foothold in both Dao and Demon, so another legal measure should be related to the management of commercial banks' large-scale transactions at the border.

Lunan's special products are not only needed by the inland. The people of the magic land also need seasonings. The magic cultivator also wants concentrated ore and spirit grass, which can be sold to the inland, and the business can also be sold to the magic land. The relationship and the degree of danger of magic repair, the management method must strictly control the types of goods sold by the business, and formulate reasonable tax laws--Nancheng itself should be very good at taxation. "

"Okay, thank you for your answer." After the secretary of the council said the official words, he immediately put on a helpless expression, "Now I can tell you the truth, the keywords you said overlapped a lot with the words left by the city lord. , and it sounds logical to me, that's enough.

But let me tell you first, in the words of the city lord, the people in our meeting hall now have no political literacy, don't dislike them, in fact, the old-fashioned bureaucrats have been liquidated by the city lord in the past two years—"

While saying these words, she led Chen Jiuqi to go in, and when she pushed the door of the conference hall, she said: "I was originally a thug, and there are businessmen and technical people in there."

This is really very unusual, and "two years" coincides with the length of time since Chen Jiuqi entered this world. It seems that it can be assumed that Qu Fengyang also entered the scene at a similar time, so the current situation can explain that Qu Fengyang The management of Nancheng is not hasty. Unlike other towns, Qu Fengyang’s Nancheng adopts a parliamentary system and considers elite politics, which are obviously transplanted from modern deformation. If you look at it from Chen Jiuqi’s perspective, the template Qu Fengyang refers to Most likely Singapore.

Guided by the secretary of the council, Chen Jiuqi sat down on the right side of the long table, and looked around at all the people who had been notified by the chairperson of the council, they all looked young——

The youth of Xiujie reflects aptitude and age at the same time. This group of people is basically around the late Jindan stage, and they are also the backbone of Lubei Xianmen. Compared with the "franchise store" Xianmen scattered in other areas of Daolu, they are absolutely crush of.What's more interesting is that these people are more like "honest people" in the traditional sense than the "elites" who are generally imagined to talk high in the chamber.

At this time, Chen Jiuqi was almost convinced that Qu Fengyang was lying to herself before. Not only did she spend time reforming the political system in the city, but she even carefully selected candidates for the cabinet. The original plan could never be to abandon the city and live alone. The only explanation is It could be that her chances of winning are not great, and her plan is rather risky, so she made a temporary decision after seeing herself, and prioritized the safety of her life together.Or the process of pursuing the magic cultivator with Yan Ning is already in danger of death.

Really, this guy has been a lawyer all these years, and he has really learned how to use words to create misunderstandings and make you fall into a thinking trap without telling lies

Chen Jiuqi looked again at the council secretary who chose to stand behind him, holding a notebook and pen but more like a bodyguard. He simulated his position again in his mind, and instead of expressing it in the tone of an envoy, he chose to directly turn against the guest: "The city lord is currently in the secret realm. The trajectory of the magic cultivator is tracked internally, but it has been determined that the situation is not optimistic. The opponent may use formations and advanced magic tools to cause extremely strong damage, and the scope of impact may include border towns and surrounding mundane countries.

I hope that those who were in charge of city defense before will now report on the city lord's specific instructions on emergency mobilization at that time, as well as the current state of combat readiness. "

At the beginning, no one responded, so it was unavoidable to be a little nervous, but the people in the meeting hall looked at each other in a daze, and it didn't look like non-violent non-cooperation. Finally, the secretary of the parliament said behind Chen Jiuqi: "The guard I brought, two hundred Members who have established a foundation and cultivated at Jindan can be transferred immediately; the government servants led by Lao Zhang are more likely to be in charge of city patrols for refining Qi;

Duanliu is in charge of the academy, and she can lead a team to participate in city defense for basically school-age monks from the city. "

Lao Zhang, who was named, raised his hand: "There are a total of 3000 yamen servants, and it takes half an hour to assemble, but the city still needs manpower. The ideal situation is to dispatch 600 people within a stick of incense."

When the flow was not there, the secretary explained that she was still in the early stage of Yuanying, and the academy was still teaching normally. If necessary, she could send a signal, and she could bring people over in about a short time, but the secretary did not know the exact number of people.

Inspired by the above conversation, a sister who was dressed in a cool Lu Nan style on the opposite side said: "The city lord told me that I can organize bodyguards and thugs from the chamber of commerce. But the time is a bit slower, and it will take about an hour to order."

Another older male monk said: "The formation plate that the city lord ordered us to make is about [-]% complete, but the workshop can send half of the people to the front line to transport the formation plate——

If it takes half an hour to assemble in the valley of the secret realm, it takes two hours to gather back to the city—er, the number of people is seventy, and the cultivation base is about [-] yuan. "

Qu Fengyang really caused her a problem. Nancheng's military reserve was completely insufficient. In the Dao Demon War, Qi refining was basically a delivery of food. A conservative estimate of [-] Jianjin Pills constituted Nancheng's defense line.

And these are stragglers with different sources of power, no strict military discipline, no unified training, and no tacit understanding. How can you win more with less?

Although Chen Jiuqi suspected that Qu Fengyang had deliberately divided power when the secretary spoke, but from what he heard, Biancheng actually only had such a small team.Although this amount is also very reasonable.If the three border cities have the same control over the monks, then they add up to nearly [-] Qi Refining Pills, about [-] Building Fund Pills, and dozens of Nascent Souls. Apart from the lack of top-level Transformation God combat power, they are almost on par with Lu Bei Xianmen below Transformation God .

It's just that there is no way for the alliance army to face the magic land with a whole city to become as tragic as in the book.
