I'm Really Strong

"But the forging skills of Aoliha steel should still be passed down in the imperial capital, right?" Bai Ziqing valued the metal of Aoliha steel more than Murasame itself, and compared to the super dangerous material contained in Murasame.

"If the imperial capital doesn't have it, then at least the foreign nations in the West may have the relevant skills." Lakiri didn't finish his sentence.

"Western aliens?"

"Yes, the Western nations." Lakiri nodded affirmatively, "In the West, alchemy has been their unique culture since ancient times. In addition, they still retain the tradition of witch trials."

"...The Witch Trial."

Bai Ziqing remembered that there was a singer named Cosmia in Sheila's team in the original book, who was regarded as a witch because of her singing ability to confuse the mind, and her home was burned down.

Immediately, he put Murasame into the scabbard.

"Western foreign nations and the imperial capital are not the immediate problem. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry about Aoliha Steel." Bai Ziqing sat down, "Compared with Aoliha Steel, we have more important things to do."

"...Before then, king, you need to rest." Lakiri couldn't help reminding, "Ever since you became the king of this city, you haven't even slept once."

"Now is not the time to rest."

Bai Ziqing shook his head: "Besides, I don't need this kind of short-term sleep anymore physically. If I really want to sleep, it may last for thousands of years - not to mention that I have already rested today."

Playing with the Raksha four ghosts for a while is considered a rest in a sense.

Lakiri didn't believe this, and Bai Ziqing didn't care whether he believed it or not.

"When the ring spinning killing machine is made, women will inevitably need to put down the spindles in their hands and enter the factory to become female workers, and more women will face the crisis of unemployment. On this basis, I need to think about future positions for women— —

"Such as teachers, such as accountants, such as cooks...

"When the steam engine comes out, the iron and steel industry and the cotton textile industry will become the mainstream, and new occupations such as metallurgy, manufacturing, medicine, law, economics, management, food, clothing, housing and transportation will emerge as the times require. Men and women need to put down their original livelihoods and find new jobs. .And the new jobs have various knowledge and technical requirements for them.

"But here comes the problem again, no matter men or women, there are still many people in this city and even this country who are illiterate, which further reduces the scope of their career choices, so I have to find a way to popularize education...

"Receiving education means that they have to take time out of their daily work and leisure time after work, and their enthusiasm for learning may not be high. Therefore, they must solve some other messy things, such as first deploying grassroots cadres. I can’t do everything by myself, I can teach everything by myself, and all administrative agencies must be put into operation as soon as possible..."

This is Bai Ziqing's first time as a ruler.

Just one stall that Bai Ziqing had to deal with in Lelang City could probably write hundreds of thousands of words.

If this is a business simulation game, then the difficulty of this game is definitely not war. For Bai Ziqing, that kind of thing is even more like a kind of relaxation in his spare time.

The most difficult thing is - development.

As the old saying goes, destruction is ten thousand times easier than creation.

Bai Ziqing asked himself that if he wanted to erase the civilization on the surface of the earth, he only needed to turn into a dragon and spend a few days digging the soil with the breath of the dragon, but it was very difficult to ignite the light of civilization for this world. Disaster.

Fortunately, it is just difficult, not impossible.

At this moment, Estes came in with the freshly brewed tea.

"It sounds like it's just the troubles the city is facing, not the real reason for your efforts?" Estes said.

Bai Ziqing glanced at Estes: "...When did you become so talkative?"

"Is it possible that I'm as stupid as Suzuka in your eyes?" Esdeth's cheeks puffed up, "And the subjectivity and objectivity must be unified, as you said."

"...I remember the unity of subjectivity and objectivity. It was brought up when Lakiri and the security team and I were discussing how to convict criminal suspects." Bai Ziqing rolled his eyes, then glanced at Lakiri again, "Except for the city Apart from all the holes, the most important point is the contract between me and the people."

"...a contract?" Lakiri frowned.

"People, donate your food, cloth, gold and silver as taxes; kneel down on your knees, offer your dignity; offer your heart, offer your loyalty.

"Taxes, dignity and loyalty are the "price" and even the "reward" that citizens pay to me.

"And I, the ruler of this city, took the reward, so I should provide them with qualified commodities, and the name of this commodity is "prosperity".

"Some people say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? No, this sentence is not rigorous in my opinion. This sentence should be said——

"—The greater the ability, the greater the power, and the greater the responsibility."

Lakiri was lost in thought.

The eunuch felt that Bai Ziqing was on the right boat.

Chapter 24

Days passed by, but Bai Ziqing had no leisure time at all.

"Your Majesty, today's arrangement is as follows:

"In the morning you will go to the police force to supervise and inspect the work; after that, the third round of guidance will start for the teachers of the literacy program.

"In the afternoon, we plan to continue discussing with the legal department about the revision of the new law; after dinner, the finance department will come to report on the accounting principles, the learning progress of the debit and credit bookkeeping method, and work with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on how to effectively carry out relevant work on Le Wave City, for the practitioners Providers with suitable positions and other issues to report.

"After that, you need to go to the blacksmith shop to deal with the steam engine..."

As soon as the sun peeked out from the horizon, Lakiri was already summarizing today's work beside Bai Ziqing, which made Bai Ziqing's scalp tingle.

Bai Ziqing came to his senses——

If there is any similar world in the future, he is sure and definitely not to be a king!

Although he felt very comfortable when he shouted the slogans of King Bai and King of the North, it was based on the fact that he didn't need to take stomach medicine or sleep.

"Guard, go for me."

After weighing it up, Bai Ziqing ordered so.
