23.10 Rusting

September 550.

As the cooperation gap between Qianchuan and Xunyuan opened, hundreds of smuggling channels between the two countries quickly disappeared. The only three railways between the two countries were operating from day to night. Qianchuan's large number of cheap civilian industrial products began to be transported north, while heavy industrial raw materials, animal husbandry and agricultural products were transported south.

The benefits open the door, and it is not that easy to close.

...

Qianchuan's changes caused a drastic change in Xunyuan.

Twenty years ago, 70% of the grain in Qianchuan was supplied by artificial food, and the side food was also worm meat. Rodent meat, which is conducive to large-scale production. Only vegetables and fruits were supplied by farmland near the city on the table.

As Chiba began to fully deploy manufacturing, a large number of industrial workers became the main consumer force, not only with a large demand for raw materials, but also with a very high demand for animal husbandry and agricultural consumables.

549 years later, a large number of people from Qianchuan flocked to these areas. After measuring the mines, they signed supply contracts with the military guarding the original. The mining economy tripled and continued to rise.

The farmland controlled by the original military was originally used to produce biofuels and lived on state subsidies. However, with the rise of Qianchuan's consumer market, it immediately became high-quality assets.

The Haobei Plateau was originally the most miserable place in Qianchuan and was used to send exiled officers, but the dividends of the huge market in the south made it a fragrant bun.

...

Many strange phenomena appeared in the political arena of the country.

In terms of economy, the original country's finances were not enough to make ends meet. When several new assault groups were added, all parties shouted that they had no money and could not squeeze out. They emphasized that they had to hate the tough hawks in the south, believing that the chaebols were unwilling to serve the country.

But now I suddenly have money, but the problem is no longer about money. Faction division has become the main problem. The big family led by the Lu family wanted to replace officers from Haobei area several times, trying to control the emerging wealth. Haobei area, the former main force of the foreign hawks, has now stopped criticizing Qianchuan and has begun to compete with the intrigues who are snatching money in their family.

The industrial structure of the middle and lower levels of the patrol are serious. This situation is the same as the situation of all marginal countries on Earth in the 21st century.

In international competition, no manufacturing industry can seize the advantages of these second-rate countries, and can only supply ore and agricultural products in globalization.

However, both mining and agriculture are a few miners. If farmers benefit, others must serve these people to make a living. In the service industry, except for medical care, education, and law, others are service industries with extremely low incomes, such as doormen. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening and the unemployment rate is high.

If you want to retain your own industries and maintain your own industrial workers, you will not be able to change this industrial structure problem unless you refuse globalization.

Of course, rejecting globalization is an anti-capital act. Moreover, if the people do not understand, the government will inevitably be scolded by the government and thankless. For example, the north of a certain peninsula did this, and all fields were lagging behind the world for 30 years. In the 21st century, it was ridiculed by the world.

However, after the great powers launched a higher-level industrial revolution, and the world could not laugh out loud after using artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to further integrate manufacturing. All second-rate countries in the world do not have the courage to give up capital interests and impose blockades, nor can they support the competitive development of manufacturing, and will all become comprador governments, selling mines and agricultural products.

...

If you find a reference for Xunyuan in detail, then it is the country where the national anthem is Gongjinou.

Chibai seems to have opened up Qianchuan's technology supply, but has not blocked military technology. A year ago, he also showed his ambition to catch up with Qianchuan in various military fields.

But a year later, the upper class of the Shangyuan felt that there was no need for this. They felt that as long as they kept the key military industry, electronic chips, optical instruments and other equipment were just enough to stockpile key components.

The current politicians in the patrol are very similar to the Westernization factions in the late 19th century.

The Westernization Party did build a number of military industries, which could build shells, artillery, ironclad ships, and even took the lead in developing smokeless gunpowder. It seemed that it could keep up with the world's advanced countries, but at that time the industry developed rapidly and industrial economies also made rapid progress. The military industry created by the Westernization Party has been more than ten years, and compared with the advanced Western countries, it was like a workshop.

The same is true for Xunyuan. Their military industry will not last for twenty years, and compared with the industries that Qianchuan has vigorously renewed, it is the workshop level.

Military technology is based on the development of manufacturing industry.

Now Xunyuan's manufacturing industry has begun to decline in a full-scale recession.

Although companies have not laid off large-scale employees, they have begun to cut wages. Without the stimulation of bonuses, in the huge production system, personnel are unwilling to abide by the regulations. Sweaters produced can have problems with different sleeve lengths, and insect eggs can be seen in the beverages produced. These are not equipment problems, but personnel problems and management problems.

Chibai arrangement: In the future, when Xunyuan cannot solve the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor, Xunyuan and Qianchuan will be further opened. At that time, Xunyuan's large-scale middle-class people will be transferred to Qianchuan's manufacturing factories to make a living. When the northern metropolis rely on manufacturing and can absorb more than 70% of the Xunyuan's population, Xunyuan's mine owners and farmers' minority regimes will be completely unable to maintain independence.

By then, Qianchuan will be able to conquer the battle in a dignified manner.

...

The autumn wind swept across the northern land.

After Yu Lan arrived at Xunyuan from the south by train, she passed through the Xunyuan city and saw the relaxed and pleasant mountains and rivers in the north along the way.

The railways, cement highways, buildings, and huge power towers here are generally one size larger than the specifications in the south. The transmission tower is one size larger and the railway is one size wider. Of course, these building facilities are somewhat old.

Qianchuan has been continuously building and renovating the city in recent years. At this time, Xunyuan has no intention of additional investment in infrastructure such as railways.

This has caused the northern infrastructure to appear in a twilight scene. On a short 100 kilometers of road, street lights and signal lights fail in many places. The cars driving on the road are more or less broken, and no car is a new car.

Yu Lan saw with her own eyes that two drivers wiped the cars sideways on the road, and then got off the car and took out a bottle of wine to warm up each other. Then, one of them got into the car and the other was outside to command, moved the car away, greeted each other and left. Everyone was not surprised.

Such a bold style shocked Yu Lan.

...

Seven hours later.

Yu Lanzi followed the guidance to the building base of Pole Star Gate.

A few years ago, Yu Lan never thought that she would visit the commercial building of the Northern Magic Sect in the name of business dealings.

In the current world, Qianchuan's world has been drained. With the advancement of the social order, the employment situation of every household is in government files, and all unemployed people are under key monitoring and included in poverty alleviation work. As for illegal business activities? Tsk tsk, the money fell and the money was scattered. These brothers in the world reported each other in order to get rid of crimes and reduce sentences in front of the government machine, and staged a plastic brotherhood. Qianchuan's world is now basically only turbulent among the gangsters who have just dropped out of middle school.

And here on the side of Xunyuan, the heroic and violent appearance of the world remains the same.

Yu Lan saw two young men at the entrance of the building, wearing formal clothes, tattoos on their wrists, and a social style. Yu Lan Zi seemed to be a different world.

Yu Lanzi handed over the business card. The guard looked at Yu Lanzi's business card and realized that it was a southern sect. A smile appeared on his face. From the cuffs of his clothes, the blade tentacles of metal chains rushed out along his wrists. The spiraling blade chains on it were at least a level 4 magic position.

When Yu Lan saw this, she took out the lighter, lit a cigarette, and looked at the young man in front of her and smiled.

The chain composed of blades beside the guard was stretched into rings, and he said in a tone that was not at all comfortable: "Old sir, the door has been busy recently, so I have to go back and wait."

Yu Lan took a sip of cigarettes and responded in a slanderous voice: "Today, you can't be a guest. You may have to ask for a glass of wine to go up the mountain in the future."

Yu Lan Zi made this statement because he knew that he was trying to exert his power at the beginning, otherwise how could Pole Star Gate send a level 4 magic position to see the gate at will?

The young man at the door heard the sharp edge of Yu Lanzi's words, his eyes turned cold, and a click on his wrist. This was the sound of Ji Kuo Spring firing. A blade as big as a fingernail was slashing towards Yu Lanzi's cheek. Judging from the trajectory, he wanted to hurt Yu Lanzi's face.

However, the splashing silver light suddenly flashed like a bamboo that exploded. The light blade was ignited by the charge and the track was broken and inserted into the xylem of the large potted plant next to it.

Yu Lan stared at the young man who was acting, and his aura suppressed him, making him take two steps back.

After a few seconds.

Yu Lan turned and left. However, the young man felt that he had to save face. As his blood and energy rolled, he immediately took a step forward and wanted to chase after him and give him another threat, but was screamed by an old man behind him: "Be careful." As soon as he finished speaking, a cigarette butt fell on his spiraling chain, as if gunpowder was ignited, and the metal chain was lit in an instant, bursting out dazzling sparks.

Yu Lan is a fire-type magic position, and is at the level of the master. As long as he wants, the entire building can ignite a surging fire. However, the sparks are now burning the metal chain. With the lack of oxygen, they immediately curbed the flames, which is a punishment for this attacker.

At this time, Yu Lan had already walked down the steps and threw the letter in her hand over.

Yu Lan sighed and said, "You should do it yourself."

...

That night at the Pole Star Sect, a group of veterans of the sect gathered together and looked at the photos of the killer who had been missing for several years in the sect. There was only one sentence on the letter, "Don't bother him."

The end is covered with a seal from Qianchuan diplomatic department and a remittance note with an electronic code with the address number 00001.
