Chapter 100: Going South by Boat
The lively New Year celebration ended happily. As the head of state, Lorraine Hill attended the final curtain call ceremony and met representatives from all over the country who came to Luojing, as well as some outstanding craftsmen, R&D personnel, etc.
That night, grand fireworks rose in the night sky and bloomed together. The gorgeous and huge fireworks flooded the sky, and the golden rain streaked across the sky, leaving long afterimages. Many old people, children, men and women in the city stood in the streets and alleys like this, watching the fireworks rising slowly and then blooming. Although the last time Luojing set off a large number of fireworks was only three or four years ago, but now there is a faint feeling as if it has been a lifetime.
The Plantagenet Dynasty ended, a new country was slowly established, new things that had never been seen before began to appear on the streets, students from all over the city, dressed in different races, airships and floating boats in the sky, and steam and iron boats shuttled on the river, all announced the beginning of many drastic changes in this country.
In the new year, Chun Lisi finally compiled new textbooks and began to spread them to the whole country. At the same time, a three-tier system of schools began to be established, namely elementary schools at the village level, middle schools at the county and town level, and institutions of higher learning in the city.
In fact, universities are composed of major factions. They are not only places for learning, but also participate in actual production, and complete tasks and missions issued by certain countries. Their recruitment of members is based on demand, that is to say, when the industry in which the faction is in is short of people, they will enroll a large number of students, otherwise they will not expand their enrollment at will.
This ensures that the disciples or members who enter the big faction are all aiming at specific positions, even if there is a small amount of redundancy, they will not deviate too much, so as to avoid the waste of the so-called mismatch between students and actual needs.
After the gradual establishment of the education system, schools in various places began to be established according to the plan. At the beginning, due to the shortage of teachers, they would be replaced by some disciples. According to the plan, after three years, the teachers of primary schools would be filled, and after five years, the teachers of middle schools would be filled gradually.
At present, all schools are public. Primary schools are exempt from examinations, secondary schools have moderately difficult exams, and higher education institutions will have more difficult exams. In the future, there will be sufficient educational resources, and the number of students will be appropriately relaxed so that 80% of students can enter higher education institutions. Among them, the tuition fees of primary and secondary schools are exempted, and institutions of higher learning will charge part of the tuition fees to offset expenses. There is not much difference between entering a faction and entering a job. 60% of the time is involved in actual work, and 40% of the time is spent on further studies.
After the education system was established, the first national census and household registration compilation began gradually. It is expected that by the end of the year, the information of the whole country will be collected, and then land distribution will be carried out, and granaries will be gradually established in various places to ensure farmers’ income and balance prices.
By the time the work of this year has been roughly arranged and future plans have been made, the time has slowly come to May, and Lorraine Hill also has time to visit and watch around Luojing, knowing the current policy implementation.
The weather has warmed up, and the Nightless River flowing through Luojing is also sparkling, bustling with light and breeze. There are boats passing by on the river, including roaring steam boats, a large number of old-style wooden boats, and a small number of new-style fuel-powered boats. They are loaded with various goods, driving this gradually prosperous trade.
Originating from the snow-capped mountains in the north, along the hills and plains, all the way to the east, the river that flows into the Yellow Sea became the main artery in the middle of the dynasty. The industries along the river flourished. The spinning and weaving industry in Moshangzhou, the grain and grain in Hedaizhou, and the special products of the states along the Yellow Sea all relied on this waterway for transportation, and the trade in the river and sea developed rapidly.
The country's first railway was also confirmed this year. The current plan is to build the main railway from Longquan Bay-Huiluzhou-Luojing to open up trade between the inland and the outer sea. The next step is the railway from Nanfengzhou to Muqingzhou on the south bank of the Yellow Sea. (The map is set in the comment area, and it is available in the book friend group, welcome to check~)
The last is the Beihaifu-Beishongzhou-Beifushancheng-Luojing railway. After the construction of the three main railway lines is completed, it is like installing a skeleton for the two wings and tail of a dragon, and the states and counties along the way will develop rapidly. On this basis, it will continue to expand until all states and counties across the country are connected to the railway network, which is planned to be completed within ten years.
Lorraine Hill has a few more weeks to spare after taking care of her current business and plans
Time, this time, she plans to go to Qilei Qizhou once. This is a place where there are many foreign races in the dynasty. The construction of some systems will be more sensitive, so she needs to go and see it. In addition, she also wants to meet a witch there, and the Ye family who moved here.
I don't know if Ye Ling has grown up now, Lorraine Hill had a reverie before going out, and then embarked on the journey after some disguise.
Because she was not in a hurry, she did not fly directly there, but took the new type of transportation in the dynasty to experience the situation along the way.
So, a girl with dark chestnut hair, wearing a coffee-colored coat, a long plaid skirt, black-rimmed glasses, and carrying a simple suitcase walked into the river port in the south of Luojing City.
In the port, there are many ships docked, some of them whistled, started slowly in the water waves, and headed for the distance.
"This is the passenger ship going to Hedaizhou. Please board the ship in an orderly manner with your tickets." On the two-meter-high platform, a staff member read out with a simple loudspeaker. In order to let many passengers who took the passenger ship for the first time know the process, he repeated it over and over again.
At the entrance of the boarding ship, several strong guards stopped the people who jumped in the line, and after some corrections and lectures, the line gradually became orderly.
Slowly, by the time Lorraine Hill boarded the ship, about two-thirds of the passengers had already passed by, and it was no longer crowded at this time.
"Miss, please show your ticket." After seeing Lorraine Hill, the more serious ticket inspector just now slowed down his words slightly.
It's not that he's biased or anything like that, but after spending the whole morning with those passengers who messed around and tried to explain, this intellectually beautiful girl looked a lot more reassuring.
"This is my ticket." Lorraine Hill handed out his boat ticket, which had a steel stamp and a blue stamp on it, with the name and time of the boat printed on it.
"Yes, I wish you a pleasant journey." Rarely, the ticket inspector remembered the welcome words to be said during the training, and let the gentle and lovely girl board the boat.
After boarding the boat, it started to be a little noisy, and then people's novelty dissipated a little bit, and then gradually quieted down, and Lorraine Hill also had time to look at the facilities in the boat.
Compared with the luxury cruise ship she used to take in Ubere, this passenger ship is much simpler. After all, many things in China have just started, and a lot of wooden furniture and facilities are used in the ship.
After waiting for a while, the passenger ship slowly slid into the river with the roar of its siren, then turned its bow and sailed towards the east.
On the way, Lorraine Hill looked at the scenery along the coast. Many towns were under construction, some were building roads, some were constructing water conservancy facilities, and many carriages towing goods had begun to appear on some of the newly constructed roads.
In a few years, motor vehicles should be on the road.
Sitting by the window, Lorraine Hill had an open diary on his lap, recording what he had seen and thought along the way. Although some people wanted to strike up a conversation during the journey, they all refused for this girl, and gradually no one came forward.
Today is not the years before the turmoil. In the early days of the dynasty, the laws were strictly enforced and supported by the army. Even extraordinary people dare not touch them easily, because those who uphold the laws have a large number of disciples who come to the door. Many of them come to the door.
In the era of extraordinary power, the cost of breaking the law has also increased a lot.
Looking at the thriving scene along the coast, Lorraine Hill also arrived at Hedaizhou, the destination of the passenger ship, within two days without knowing it. The rest of the journey would be a carriage ride for ordinary people, but she can walk there.
It is more free and convenient to walk over by yourself, you can stop at any time without saying anything, and you can also enter the mountain villages along the way to check, and you can easily visit and transfer, so Lorraine Hill did not choose a horse-drawn carriage for the rest of the journey.
In this way, stop and go along the way, Lorraine Hill looked at the implementation of policies in various states and counties, and then recorded the experience along the way, until
Stop at Yanyu Island.
Looking at the tall and imposing mountain gate on the mountainside from a distance, Lorraine Hill hesitated for a while, and decided to go in for a visit.
Because when I passed by Yanyuzhou, I accidentally participated in that special sacrifice, which was also the time when I came into contact with the practice method of the Dragon Sequence. Although I used a lot of secret methods of Yuyanhongmen, I have never paid a good visit.
With this in mind, Lorraine Hill walked up the long stairs with a light rattan suitcase.
The residents in the city looked at the girl curiously, but they didn't exclaim in surprise. After all, this is the capital city of the state, and they have seen many western travelers, and even an elf family passing by occasionally.
When they came to the huge three-dimensional archway where the phoenix was flying, several guarding disciples asked about the origin of this chestnut soft-haired girl.
"I met a senior in the faction before, so I came to visit." Lorraine Hill knew that it was not easy to be trusted, so he paused for a while, took out a letter from the box and handed it to the disciple.
Looking at the emblems of Huizhihuo and phoenix owl on the greeting card, this disciple became more cautious, and did not immediately refuse, but asked the younger brother behind him to send it to the elders in the faction for questioning.
"Please wait a moment, this girl." He looked about 30 years old, about the fifth level of cultivation, with a pendant carved with red jade hanging on his waist, he should be the second generation disciple of the sect.
During the waiting period, this disciple also curiously asked about the origin of Lorraine Hill, and in order to deal with this, Lorraine Hill also had to make up an impromptu compilation.
"I'm from the Western Continent, and I've been to the Eastern Continent before." Looking at the scenery of the red leaves on the mountain, Lorraine Hill narrated in the gentle summer wind.
"That was the seventh year after the world changed. At that time, a grand sacrificial ceremony was held in the city, and many scenes of waving flame ray lanterns were seen..." There was a trace of nostalgia in her words.
"That time, when I was a child, I was playing in the street with my family. I remember that the snacks at the night market were delicious. Later, my mother complained that I spent too much money." The disciple also felt emotional.
Then the two chatted for a few more words. The disciple was a little curious about the appearance of this young girl, but he didn't ask directly, after all, this kind of thing is not polite.
"Brother, I asked the uncle of Huoyetang, let this lady come in." The disciple who asked before trotted over.
"Okay, please, miss." As he spoke, the disciple led Lorraine Hill to the inside of the mountain gate.
Because Lorraine Hill's invitation is not considered a high-level invitation, the other party probably thought it was just an ordinary true disciple of the Xiangyu Sect, so he was not surprised, and it was just a matter of being notified.
On the mountain road along the way, there are neat fiery red sycamores, which are bright in color and faintly exude a scorching breath. It seems that they are not ordinary varieties.
It is said that Chifeng took the star in the mountain of the Yellow Sea
The seeds of the Huowu tree came out, and many of them were given to Yuyan Hongmen, because the land here was suitable for planting.
Although there is still a gap compared to the fire sycamore tree where the phoenix lives, the quality is not low. Lorraine Hill estimated in his heart that it probably has a fifth-level gold-level evaluation.
In the Maple Leaf Garden where I used to live, the red maple tree used to be at the seventh level, but it has now advanced to the eighth level, and the fire sycamore tree on the Yellow Sea Mountain is also at the eighth level, and the tree progresses very slowly. Because it lacks the ability to change its own activities, it often needs external help to solve some problems, so there are so few high-level trees.
Walking through the stairway full of fallen leaves, Lorraine Hill came to the front hall of the Yuyan Red Ray Gate, where an old man was already waiting for her.
"Hello, little friend." He stepped forward to greet him and asked someone to bring tea, and then asked about Lorraine Hill's purpose in detail.
"Actually, I have also practiced some of the methods of your sect, and I also want to come here to discuss this time."
When he heard it at first, the old man frowned slightly, but he opened his mouth in surprise when he saw the increasingly hot aura and magic power emanating from the girl.
.
It is not uncommon for the practice method of the door-to-door school to be exiled. After all, it is impossible to keep it completely secret for hundreds of years, but it has not declined or been replaced because of the door-to-door practice, because the practice of any method needs supporting things, and many of the difficulties and nodes can not be solved by just reading books. There are countless seniors in the faction who taught you the experience of stepping on the pit, and recorded all kinds of problems encountered in practicing this set of methods, as well as supporting materials and medicines, solutions, required secret environment, etc. This is the reason why they are not afraid of the method being left outside. If someone can really succeed in practicing and advancing only by relying on the knowledge in the book, that is a rare genius. It is a good thing to absorb it into your own family.
"Miss, can you tell me your name?" Looking at Lorraine Hill who faintly possessed eighth-level strength, this old seventh-level true disciple had no choice but to respect him modestly.
"This..." Lorraine Hill looked at the people around her. She didn't like lying very much, but she didn't want to embarrass each other.
"It's not convenient for me to say my real name now, but you can call me Mesia." The girl pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"Ms. Mei, please wait a moment, I'll call all the masters over here." Then the huge Yuyanmen gradually became lively.
Uh, obviously wanting to keep a low profile, Lorraine Hill watched a few breaths gradually rising outside, regretting it in his heart.
That's all, let's show it a little this time, and then pass the improved method back to Yuyanhongmen.
Now she is no longer practicing the original version of the method, but a new 3.0 version of the method that Suqin, Chifeng, personally suggested.
The sun in the sky slowly passed the noon, and the bells began to ring in Yanray Mountain City, and then amidst a burst of fiery red piercing the air, many disciples from the faction gathered at the lecture altar on the mountain behind the main hall.
For a whole afternoon, Lorraine Hill stood on the altar with a warm welcome and told about the new practice method and experience, which made everyone in the Yuyan Red Ray Sect unable to help but immerse themselves in it. They didn't wake up in amazement until the sun went down.
And this is just the beginning, after that Lorraine Hill stayed here for three days before finishing the preliminary explanation of the practice experience.
However, she can't stay here any longer. Lorraine Hill feels that if she stays any longer, her identity will be exposed. She has heard that the other disciples of Chifeng's direct descendant are also slowly coming over.
It's really embarrassing for me to pretend to be a phoenix.
In the end, Lorraine Hill began to bid farewell amidst the mournful farewell of everyone in the Yuyan Red Ray Gate.
"This is some experience I have recorded over the years, and I will give it to Senior Sister Xiangxia." The woman standing in front of Lorraine Hill is the witch who presided over the sacrifice back then, and is also the current head of the Yuyanhongmen, Feng Xiangxia.
She was dressed in a fiery red crimson dress with gardenia yellow prints and feather decorations on the hem. It was very bright and gorgeous, and it was impossible for ordinary people to suppress this kind of clothing, but she did have a classical and simple beauty in it, which was amazing.
"Thank you Mesia, you were the one who helped me in the sacrifice back then. Although it's been many years, I'm still faintly aware of this familiar aura." She lightly brushed the hair flying up her cheeks with her hand, and looked at the young girl in front of her with a smile.
"I know you don't want to show your name and cause trouble, but if you come to the Red Ray Gate again in the future, we will still treat you with the highest courtesy. If you need help, you can come to us."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Xiangxia, for your kindness. I will come again in the future, but this time I will say goodbye first." Lorraine Hill saw her holding a suitcase in front of her body, bent to return the greeting, and then raised her head with a smile.
Then she turned and left, walking down the steps step by step in the eyes of everyone.
Pieces of fiery red sycamore leaves rolled up in the breeze, and flew up from the steps in circles, making a soft clattering sound, and then the girl's figure disappeared among the fiery red leaves.
Looking at the direction in which the girl was leaving, Feng Xiangxia looked at the leaf that had fallen into her hands, a line of golden words quietly appeared in it, and then burned quickly
And rise, dissipate in the air.
The people behind her didn't notice anything yet, but her eyes were full of water, she clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes to pray.
Thank you, it turns out that His Majesty Chifeng is still somewhere in the world.
