Chapter 324 Year-End Summary

After roughly explaining the principle, Ning Wanjun's eyes lost focus for a while, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses. "You mean, as long as you master the tricks, everyone can achieve immortality?"

"Yes." Xia Fan affirmed, "As long as the research on the human body progresses to the microscopic level, I believe this art will appear sooner or later."

So the key is to apply the art to research - the former is equivalent to a portable tool that can greatly reduce the difficulty of exploring the truth.

"You always come up with some amazing words." Ning Wanjun sighed, "If this art really appears, I'm afraid that the air sensor will become an immortal and will never be able to integrate into the ordinary people again."

This is a very realistic problem. Xia Fan thought to himself that the unfairness of life span is undoubtedly the greatest unfairness of mankind. If the air sensor can achieve immortality through art, the existing society may really be torn apart.

"At least we don't have to worry about this problem now." Li interrupted.

"That's true." Ning Wanjun stretched, "By the way, how many days do you plan to rest?"

"Uh...what do you mean?" Xia Fan suddenly felt something was wrong.

"You've been gone for a month, and there are so many things piling up in Jinxia City, all of which are related to the plans you led. Eunuch Li and Governor Hong can share other things, but they can't take care of the school and the Machinery Bureau." Ning Wanjun clapped her hands when she said this, "Qiuyue!"

"Hey, the maid is here."

Then Xia Fan saw Qiuyue staggering in with a stack of documents nearly half a person's height.

Click.

All the documents were piled in front of him.

The princess showed a sly smile, "You have worked so hard for so long, you must rest, but it should not be a problem to approve documents during the holidays. Otherwise, you can just live in the palace these days. Just tell Qiuyue what you want to eat. When you have enough rest, you can almost finish reading these reports summarizing the plans for the next year."

"Ahem... Xia Fan, I suddenly remembered that no one has paid attention to Shanhui for so long. I don't know if he is still alive." Li stood up, "I will go to see this guy first, and come to see you later."

"Well... Hey, wait..."

Before Xia Fan could react, the fox demon had slipped out of the palace.

"Then, leave it to you." Ning Wanjun also put on her outer robe and walked out the door.

After a while, Xia Fan was left alone facing the pile of documents.

He was a little amused.

Sure enough, the princess still didn't forget that she owed half a month of contact times.

Xia Fan opened the top book, and the first one was Mo Yun's report on the Mechanical Bureau.

…

When it was getting dark outside the window, he finally read through all the documents roughly.

It must be said that the emergency officials trained by the Affairs Bureau have begun to show their effects. At least in the summary report, all the contents involving quantity, increase and decrease are listed with specific and detailed figures, instead of just vague words such as "a lot, a little" as before.

This requires officials to not only be literate, but also master basic arithmetic rules and calculation skills. Although these skills are only at the elementary school level in later generations and do not involve multiplication and division operations, they are already a great improvement compared to the past.

Among all the reports, what Xia Fan is most satisfied with is the population growth rate of Jinxia City.

In a recent household census, the permanent population of Jinxia has exceeded the 200,000 mark. Although there is a lack of specific records from the government office before, it is estimated to be around 100,000. In other words, relying on the refugee policy and word of mouth from the locals, the population growth rate during this period can be described as explosive. The growth in half a year exceeded the total of the past 30 years, and Jinxia City also touched the threshold of half of the total population of Shangyuan City.

Among these people, refugees from Leizhou are not the mainstream, accounting for only 30%, while the remaining 70% are provided by surrounding towns. In other words, after half a year of construction, Jinxia City has produced a population siphon effect and has begun to accelerate the gathering of surrounding resources and wealth.

This attraction can not only lure the poor, but also the rich will gather here because of business opportunities, fame and other factors. If the parents of these towns are also time travelers, they will definitely curse Jinxia City for sucking blood, but this process will not be interrupted by protests, not to mention the county officials and gentry who know nothing about it.

It was Eunuch Li and Hong Siqi who expressed concerns about this "abnormal" growth rate.

There is little land left in the city that can be used for housing construction, the influx of a large number of people has caused food consumption to be far higher than expected, and the silver seized from the Wang family has reached the bottom... All data show that Jinxia City has reached a "shaky" point. If it continues to absorb like this, the Affairs Bureau will be overwhelmed and the current order may collapse.

Seeing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Now the two have learned to use data to provide theoretical basis for their advice.

But he had no intention of stopping this carriage.

Development is the most effective way to resolve all contradictions. As long as it does not fall apart, the faster it runs, the better.

Because Xia Fan pays more attention to another column of numbers.

According to the report of the Affairs Bureau, the urban employment rate has approached the 50% mark!

Since no one has ever counted the relevant data before, this report was placed at the bottom by Ning Wanjun. Only Xia Fan knows how shocking this number is.

The total population cannot make a city different from another. Shangyuan City, which has 500,000 residents, is the best example.

But the employment rate can.

An employment rate of more than 50% means that at least 20% to 30% of women have left their homes and participated in various positions provided by the Affairs Bureau.

This is an improvement that no other city can compare with.

Considering that industries such as traveling merchants and opening shops will not be included in the statistics of the Affairs Bureau, the number can be increased by a few tenths of a percentage point.

Nearly half of the people in a city have their own jobs, can earn stable income and support their families, including a large number of women, which is absolutely a healthy proof for Jinxia City. The rapidly growing population is not a burden, but a guarantee for the rapid development of this city!

For example, in Mo Yun's year-end summary, it was mentioned that the Machinery Bureau has opened a new third factory building and employed more than 2,000 people. Among them, there are more than 300 elves, and air rifles and celestial instruments have entered the mass production stage. In terms of scale, it is no less than the Machinery Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, the expenses during this period are also quite "considerable".

There is another gold-devouring giant school that is also progressing rapidly.

Not only is the second college area about to be put into use, but the number of students attending classes has also exceeded 1,500. If the serious shortage of teachers can be solved, the two schools will be able to accommodate 5,000 students. When these people start working, they will definitely bring a new round of leaps and bounds to Jinxia City.
