Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 102 Structural Injustice (13)

"Lai, did I disturb you?"

In the conference room, Genji, who was belatedly aware of the situation, suddenly realized why Yoshimitsu kept dragging him forward to say hello after the ceremony.

Lai, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Naqi sat next to him with a calm expression.

"We are very grateful that Mr. Genji can come to attend the opening ceremony. Since you said you have something to talk about, it must be something important. Of course it is important."

"Okay, Yoshimitsu, tell me." Genji, who was slightly embarrassed, felt Naki's eyes, sat up, and gave instructions to Yoshimitsu.

"Lai, Mayor Ikeda, let me make a long story short. The captain brought us here this time, firstly, to attend your opening ceremony. The captain is also from Nanhai and takes this matter very seriously. The captain is very happy that his hometown can be rebuilt."

Listening to Yoshimitsu's words, Genji nodded.

"The second thing is about your taxes and education funds on Tianshui Island."

Hearing this, both Lai and the mayor sat up straight. Over the past few days, they had communicated with the trusteeship department of Kaina City through various channels, but the other party took the alliance's management charter and acted according to the regulations, leaving no room for error.

"Has this matter changed?" Mayor Ikeda asked eagerly.

"Yes, we are here to do this. After the situation of Tianshui Island and the entire South China Sea Islands was reported by the owner of the Iron Spin Hall, the alliance headquarters attached great importance to it and has been holding meetings. The captain felt that this was too slow, so he came here in person , after arriving in Kaina and getting first-hand information, I realized that the seriousness of the incident had been skewed due to the lag in information transmission."

Genji added: "It's not that the alliance doesn't want to provide help to the disaster-stricken South China Sea, but the current alliance does have many problems. They have been pressed down and passed on layer by layer. All the regulations are reasonable, but there is nothing that can be done. "

Lai was convinced of this, while Naqi on the side heard it for the first time. She had been living in Yinyu City and knew almost nothing about such things under the care of her parents, and she seemed a little surprised.

Lai said: "The alliance's governance of Tianshui Island does not have the appearance of evil people, but structured procedural violence. This kind of legal and compliant governance model has brought Tianshui Island and the South China Sea Islands into the abyss after the disaster. . In the inefficient circulation, the validity of information deviates, resulting in the structural crisis being invisible to the upper levels.”

"That's right." Liangguang took Lai's words and continued, "So when we come here this time, we also need to start with specific problems and solve some first. After all, we have to eat one bite at a time. This is my preliminary handling opinion. The city of Kaina was very resistant, but we came with the authority of the council and didn’t need to pay attention to them.”

Saying that, Yoshimitsu handed over two documents, and Rai and the mayor took them respectively.

Lai opened the document, and Naqi moved her chair over to read with Lai. A strand of lavender hair hung down gently, making Lai a little distracted.

Soon, however, the contents of the document caught his attention.

There is not much content, just a few thin pages, which can be summarized into two points:

First, the South China Sea Islands will be exempted from tax for two years and tax reduced for the next three years. Part of the tax collected in previous years will be refunded and used for reconstruction funds and education funds. The use will be supervised by commissioners assigned by the council.

Second, special funds are allocated to rebuild law enforcement forces and maintain social order, and personnel are recruited from various places.

Genji took action personally and selected key points that could just solve the urgent needs of this place.For the Nanhai Islands, education, public security, and industry are the top priorities for reconstruction. If the requirements of this document can be implemented, it may be possible to reverse the decline in a few years.

The mayor seemed a little excited, but Liang Guangxu pressed his hands to stop him from getting up, walked over and whispered a few words, and the two left together.

Only Genji, Rai and Nachi were left in the conference room.

"Lai, now that we've finished talking about these official matters, here are some private words about you." "About me? Please tell me."

"Do I need to avoid it?" Naqi gestured to get up.

Lai held her hand and placed it on the armrest, "No, there is nothing to keep secret between us."

Feeling each other's warmth, both parties realized that their actions and words just now were a bit ambiguous. Naqi gently pulled out her hand, sat back in her seat, and lowered her head slightly.The low-hanging hair slightly covered her cheeks.

Rai quickly put his hands back on the table and sat upright.

"Ahem." Genji cleared his throat and drew their attention to him.

"Lai, I have heard about what you have done during this period. These are definitely good things, whether it is fighting gangs or building schools. But for a young man like you, the actions are a bit too big and deviate from people's expectations of you. gone."

As he said that, Genji took out a few newspapers, which contained the recent news of the young trainers of Hoenn.

"Dawu from Devin, Furong from the Holy Mountain, your acquaintance Hua Yue, and Mi Keli who has been hiding in Liuli. They are the most influential people recently. After many years, Fengyuan has to gather them together again. There are many talents who are challenging the Eighth Avenue Pavilion at the same time. However, your name should also be among them."

Looking at Rai, Genji spoke seriously.

"At your age, improving your own strength is the key point. Running a school and building a school are not things you should consider now. I'm not saying that you are not doing well. I even think it is too good. It will delay your main task as a trainer. Industry.

I listened to your opening speech. It was very good, but it was also very dangerous.You have to know that the Alliance is the dominant player in the Hoenn region. Although it has many problems, we must try to do something within its framework.do you understand me? "

Lai is always grateful to this elder who has taken care of him since Pal Island:

"Your Excellency Yuanji, I understand what you mean. I have always been taken care of by you, but I have not been able to meet your expectations in some aspects. However, the purpose of my trip is not to achieve any achievements, but to do something within my ability. , to make things better within the scope of what I can see.”

Saying that, Lai turned his head, looked at Na Qi with each other, and smiled at each other.

"As for my strength, I will work hard to improve it, but I believe that there are various fates between myself and Pokémon, and I have to follow them. I believe you and I have the same idea about this? I can feel it, The bond between you and your Tyrannosaurus.”

Seeing Lai's serious look, Genji's face was full of care for the younger generation: "You kid, you are talking about me, yes, this is what we, the sea men of Hoenn, want to be like.

If you don't have this kind of responsibility, even if you have similar experiences to me when I was young, I won't appreciate you.

Now that you have made up your mind, I understand that as long as it does not violate the principles, the Feilong will be your backing. Just go ahead and do it. As long as you don’t betray our Hoenn Alliance, I believe you will one day There was some achievement. "

After saying that, Yuanji propped himself up on the table and stood up.

"It just so happens that you have a training ground here. Let me check your results in the past few months. Miss Naqi, please follow me. It's just a good time to test your own vision."

"Okay, Genji-dono, this way please."

Naki stood up, as if she hadn't heard Genji's last words, and followed Rai expressionlessly.
