The lively New Year celebration ended in joy. As the head of state, Lorraine Hill attended the final curtain call ceremony and met with representatives from various places 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. Golden rain streaked across the sky, leaving long afterimages. Many old people, children, men and women in the city stood like this in the streets and alleys.
, watching the fireworks rising and then blooming, although the last time Luo Jing set off a large number of fireworks was only three or four years ago, now there is a vague feeling of being in another world.
The Plantagenet dynasty ended, and a new country was slowly established. New things that had never been seen before began to appear on the streets. Students came from all over the city, aliens in different clothes, airships and pontoons in the sky, and rivers.
The steam and iron ships passing by announced that many drastic changes had begun to take place in this country.
In the new year, Chun Guanshi finally compiled new teaching materials and began to popularize them all over the world. At the same time, three-level schools began to be established, namely primary schools at the rural level, secondary schools at the county and town levels, and
and institutions of higher learning in the prefecture.
In essence, universities are composed of major factions. They are not only places for learning, but also participate in actual production, completing tasks and missions assigned by certain countries. Their recruitment of members is based on demand, which means that when the faction is in
When the industry is short of people, it will recruit a large number of students, otherwise it will not expand enrollment at will.
This ensures that the disciples or members who enter a large faction will target specific positions, and even if there is a small amount of redundancy, they will not deviate too much, thus avoiding the waste of so-called mismatch between students and actual needs.
After the education system was gradually established, schools in various places began to be established according to the plan. In the early stage, due to the shortage of teachers, they would be replaced by some visiting disciples. According to the plan, after three years, the primary school teachers would be roughly filled, and after five years, they would gradually be replaced.
All teachers from middle schools will be recruited, and after eight years, teachers from higher education institutions will be guaranteed to be staffed.
At present, all schools are public. Elementary schools are exempt from exams. Middle schools will have moderately difficult exams, and institutions of higher learning will have more difficult exams. In the future, there will be sufficient educational resources and the number of students will be appropriately liberalized so that 80% of students can
Enter a higher education institution to study. Tuition fees for primary and secondary schools are exempted, and higher education institutions will charge part of the tuition fees to offset expenses. There is not much difference between joining a faction and joining a job. 60% of the time is spent on actual work, and 40% of the time is spent on further studies.
After the establishment of the education system, the first national census and household registration compilation have gradually begun. It is expected that by the end of the year, all information will be collected across the country. After that, land distribution will be carried out and granaries will be gradually established in various places to ensure farmers' income and balance.
Prices.
After all the work for this year was roughly arranged and future plans were made, time has slowly come to May. Lorraine Hill also has time to tour around Luojing to understand the current policy implementation.
The weather has warmed up, and the Evernight River flowing through Luojing is also sparkling and lively in the warm breeze. There are ships on the river, including roaring steamboats and a large number of old wooden boats.
There are also a small number of new fuel-powered ships, which carry various goods, driving this increasingly prosperous trade.
Originating from the snow-capped mountains of the northern mountains, along the hills and plains, all the way to the east, and flowing into the Yellow Sea, this river became the main artery in the central part of the dynasty. The industry along the river flourished, including the spinning and silk weaving industry in Moshangzhou, Hedaizhou
Cereals and specialties from various states along the Yellow Sea relied on this waterway for transportation, and inland river and sea trade developed rapidly.
The country's first railway was also confirmed this year. The current plan is to build this trunk railway from Longquan Bay-Huiluzhou-Luojing to open up trade between the inland and the outer sea. The next step is to build the railway from Nanfengzhou to the Yellow Sea.
Railway at Mu Qingzhou on the South Bank. (The map is set in the comment area and is available in the book club, welcome to check it~)
Finally, there is the Beihaifu-Beisongzhou-Beifu Mountain City-Luojing railway. After the construction of the three main railway lines is completed, it will be like putting the skeleton on the wings and tail of the dragon. The provinces and counties along the way will develop rapidly. Here
It will then 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.
After dealing with the current affairs and plans, Lorraine Hill has a few more weeks of free time. This time she plans to go to the Qi Lei Seven Continents. This is a place where many foreign races gather in the dynasty, and the construction of some systems will be carried out.
It's quite sensitive, so she needs to actually go see it. In addition, she also wants to meet a witch there and the Ye family who has moved here.
I don’t know if Eidolon has grown up now, but Lorraine Hill imagined it in his mind before traveling, and then embarked on the journey after some disguise.
Because she was not in a hurry, she did not fly there directly. Instead, she took the new means of transportation in the dynasty to experience the conditions along the way.
So, a girl with dark chestnut hair, wearing a brown jacket, a 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 docked ships, some of which are honking their whistles, slowly starting in the water waves, and sailing into the distance.
"This is the passenger ship bound for Hedaizhou. Please use your tickets to board the ship in an orderly manner." On a two-meter high platform, a staff member announced using a simple loudspeaker. In order to allow many passengers to take a passenger ship for the first time.
Knowing the process, he repeated it over and over again.
At the entrance to board the ship, several strong guards stopped those who jumped in line. After some corrections and lectures, the queue gradually became orderly.
Slowly, by the time Lorraine Hill boarded the ship, about two-thirds of the passengers had passed by, and it was no longer crowded.
"Miss, please show me your ticket." After seeing Lorraine Hill, the ticket inspector who was quite serious just now slowed down his words slightly.
It's not that he is partial or anything like that, but after spending the whole morning with those passengers who were messing around and struggling to explain, this girl who looked very intellectual and beautiful seemed to be particularly reassuring.
"This is my ticket." Lorraine Hill handed over his ticket, which had a steel seal and a blue stamp on it, with the ship's name and time printed on it.
"That's right, I wish you a pleasant journey." Rarely, the ticket inspector remembered the welcome message he had to say during the training and let the gentle and lovely girl board the ship.
After getting on the boat, it was a little noisy at first. Later, the novelty of the people dissipated a little, and then it gradually became quiet. Lorraine Hill also had time to look at the facilities on the boat.
Compared with the luxury cruise ship she once took in Yubeile, this passenger ship is much simpler. After all, many things in China have just started. A large number of wooden furniture and facilities are used in the ship. The cabin is divided into three floors.
Next, it can carry about 200 passengers and about 40 crew members.
After waiting for a period of time, the passenger ship slowly slid into the river amidst the roar of its whistle, then turned its bow and headed east.
On the way, Lorraine Hill looked at the scenery along the coast. Many towns were undergoing large-scale construction projects, some were building roads, and some were building water conservancy facilities. Many carriages hauling goods had begun to appear on some of the newly built roads.
In a few years, there should be motor vehicles on the road.
Sitting by the window, Lorraine Hill had an open diary on his knees, recording his experiences and thoughts along the way. Although there were people who wanted to strike up a conversation from time to time during the journey, they were all rejected by the girl, and then gradually no one came over.
Came forward.
This is not the turbulent years before. In the early days of the dynasty, the laws were strictly enforced and maintained by the army. Even extraordinary people did not dare to touch them easily, because there were disciples from large sects who came to uphold the laws, many of whom came here.
His hunting methods are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, including but not limited to summoning ghosts to inquire, sending special monsters to search, using special divination rituals based on the objects you carry with you, etc.
In an era of extraordinary power, the cost of breaking the law has virtually increased.
Looking at the prosperous scene along the coast, two days passed without realizing it. Lorraine Hill also arrived at Hedaizhou, the terminal of the passenger ferry. For ordinary people, the next journey would be a carriage ride, but she could walk
Move over.
It is more free and convenient to walk there by yourself. You can stop at any time, and you can also visit the mountains and villages along the way, and easily move around. Therefore, Lorraine Hill did not choose a carriage for the rest of the journey.
In this way, while walking and stopping along the way, Lorraine Hill looked at the implementation of policies in various continents and counties, and then recorded his experiences along the way until he stopped at Yanyu Island.
Looking at the tall and majestic mountain gate halfway up the mountain from a distance, Lorraine Hill hesitated for a while and decided to go in and visit.
Because I accidentally participated in that special sacrifice when passing by Yan Ray Island, and it was also that time I came into contact with the practice method of the Dragon Sequence. After that, although I used a lot of the secret methods of Yu Yan Red Ray Sect, I have never been able to do it.
I would like to pay a good visit. I feel a little ashamed to say that I was too busy when the various factions in the world formed an alliance the year before last and did not discuss it in detail alone.
With this thought in his mind, Lorraine Hill carried the light rattan suitcase and walked up the long stairs.
The residents in the city looked at the girl with some curiosity, but they didn't express any surprise or anything like that. After all, this is also the capital of the state, and they have seen many Western travelers, and even the elves occasionally passed by.
Arriving at the huge three-dimensional archway with flying phoenixes, several guarding disciples asked about the origin of this chestnut-colored soft-haired girl.
"I have met a senior in the sect before, so I came to visit." Lorraine Hill knew that it would not be easy to gain trust by saying this. Then he paused for a moment, took out a greeting note from the box and handed it to the disciple.
Looking at the emblems of Huilu Fire and Phoenix Quaibo on the invitation, the disciple became more cautious and did not refuse immediately. Instead, he asked the junior brother behind him to send it to the elders in the sect for questioning.
"Please wait a moment for this girl." He looked at someone in his thirties, about fifth level of cultivation, with a ruby carved pendant hanging around his waist. He should be a second-generation disciple of the sect.
While waiting, this disciple also asked curiously about the origin of Lorraine Hill. In order to deal with this person, Lorraine Hill had to make up temporary information.
"I'm from the Western Continent, and I've been to the Eastern Continent before." Lorraine Hill looked at the scenery of red leaves on the mountain and told it in the gentle summer breeze.
"It was the seventh year after the sudden change in the world. 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 hint of nostalgia in her words.
"That time? When I was a child, I was playing on the street with my family. I remember that the snacks at the night market were very delicious. Later, my mother complained that I spent too much money." This disciple also sighed with emotion.
Then the two chatted for a while. The disciple was a little curious about the young girl, but he didn't ask directly. After all, this kind of thing was not polite.
"Senior brother, I have asked the senior uncle of Huoye Hall to let this young lady come in." The disciple who asked before trotted over.
"Okay, please, young lady." With that said, the disciple led Lorraine Hill towards the inside of the mountain gate.
Because the invitation given by Lorraine Hill was not considered a high-level invitation, the other party probably thought he was just an ordinary true disciple of the Xiangyu Sect, so he was not surprised and just asked someone to notify him.
Along the mountain path are neatly planted fiery red sycamores, which are bright in color and faintly exude a burning smell. They seem to be unusual species.
It is said that the red phoenix carried the seeds of the Fire Wu tree in the Yellow Sea Mountain, and many of them were given to Yuyan Hongraymen 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 mind that it probably has a fifth-level gold rating.
In the Maple Leaf Courtyard where I used to live, the red maple tree used to be the seventh level, but has now advanced to the eighth level. The fire sycamore in the Yellow Sea Mountain is also the eighth level. The trees advance very slowly because they lack self-esteem.
The ability to change activities often requires external help to solve some problems, which is why high-level trees are so rare.
After walking through the stairway covered with 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 serve him tea. Then he asked in detail about the purpose of Lorraine Hill's visit.
"Actually, I have also practiced some of your sect's methods, and I want to come and discuss them this time."
When he heard it at first, the old man frowned slightly, but when he saw the increasingly intense burning aura and magic power emanating from the girl, he opened his mouth in surprise.
It is not unusual for the practice methods of the great sect to be lost outside. After all, how could it be kept completely secret for hundreds of years? However, it has not declined or been replaced because of this, because the practice of any sect requires supporting things, and many of them are difficult and
Nodes can not only be solved by reading books. There are countless seniors in the faction who teach the experience of stepping on the pit, and record the various problems encountered in practicing this method, as well as the supporting materials and medicines, solutions, and the required
The secret environment and so on, this is the reason why they are not afraid that the method will be lost outside. If someone can really succeed in practicing and advancing by relying only on the knowledge in the book, then that is a rare genius, and it is a good thing to absorb it into their own family.
"Miss, can you tell me your name?" Looking at Lorraine Hill, who had vaguely eighth-level strength, this old seventh-level true disciple had to be humble and respectful.
"This..." Lorraine Hill looked at the people around her. She didn't like lying, but she didn't want to embarrass each other.
"As for my real name, it's not convenient for me to say it now, but you can call me Mecia." The girl pushed up the glasses on her nose.
"Miss Mei, please wait a moment, I'll call all the junior uncles over." Then the huge fire-filled Ray Gate gradually became lively.
Well, obviously he wanted to keep a low profile. Lorraine Hill looked at the smells gradually rising outside and felt a hint of regret in his heart.
That's all, let's show it a little this time, and then teach the improved method back to Yuyan Hongray Sect.
What she practices now is no longer the original method, but a new 3.0 version of the method that has been systematically completed and improved, and then modified according to her own needs. Then there is the new 3.0 version of the method that Suqin, Chifeng, personally suggested.
As the sun in the sky slowly turned towards noon, bells began to ring in Yanlu Mountain City, and then amid a burst of fiery red sound breaking through the sky, many disciples of the sect gathered at the lecture altar on the mountain behind the main hall.
For a whole afternoon, Lorraine Hill stood on the altar with warm welcome and talked about the new practice method and experience, which made everyone in the Yuyan Red Ray Sect immersed in it. It was not until the sun set in the west that they woke up from surprise.
.
And this was just the beginning. After that, Lorraine Hill stayed here for another three days before he finished explaining his experience in practice.
However, she can no longer stay here. Lorraine Hill feels that if she stays here any longer, her identity will be exposed. She has heard that other disciples from the direct descendants of Red Phoenix are slowly coming over.
People will see through your identity, which would be embarrassing.
It's really embarrassing for me to fake my identity as a Phoenix.
Finally, amid the regretful farewells of everyone at Yuyan Red Ray Sect, Lorraine Hill began to say goodbye.
"These are some of the experiences I have recorded over the years, and they are given to Senior Sister Xiangxia." The woman standing in front of Lorraine Hill is the witch who presided over the sacrifice back then, and is now Yu Yanhong.
At the head of the Ray Gate, I meet the fragrant clouds.
She is dressed in a fiery red dress with gardenia firewood prints and feather decorations on the edges. It is very bright and gorgeous. It is not something that ordinary people can resist. However, her dress does have a classical and simple beauty, which is amazing.
"Thank you Mecia. You must have helped me during the sacrifice back then. Even though it has been many years, I am still vaguely aware of this familiar atmosphere." She gently brushed the flying hair on her face with her hand and smiled.
Look at the young girl in front of you.
"I know you don't want to cause trouble by showing your name, but if you come to Red Ray Gate again in the future, we will still treat you with the highest courtesy. If you need any help, you can come to us."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Xiangxia, for your kindness. I will come again in the future, but I will say goodbye this time." Lorraine Hill looked at her holding the suitcase in front of her, bent down to return the favor, then raised her head and smiled.
.
Then she turned around and left, walking down the steps step by step in the eyes of everyone.
Pieces of flaming red sycamore leaves rolled up in the breeze and flew up from the stairs, making a soft rustling sound. Then the girl's figure disappeared among the flaming red leaves.
Looking at the direction in which the girl was leaving, Feng Xiangxia looked at the leaf that fell into her hands. A line of golden text quietly appeared in it, and then quickly burned up and dissipated in the air.
The people behind her didn't notice anything yet, but her eyes were filled with water, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes in prayer.
Thank you. It turns out that His Majesty Chifeng is still somewhere in the world.
