When night fell, Li and his party also found an inn and put away their luggage. Venerable Shengtian did not refuse the suggestion of watching the concert. Firstly, the night in the city can directly reflect its security level and stability. Secondly, she was also curious about who the idol was.
However, the moment she arrived in Xicheng District, she was shocked by the dense flow of people.
Not to mention the Jianghu gangs that were active at night, not even a single ruffian was seen. All the people coming and going were residents of Jinxia City. They moved towards the square area in twos and threes, some holding cattail fans, and some carrying children on their backs. They traveled as a family unit.
Her biggest feeling was excitement.
It's even busier than during the day!
If many people are rushing home when the sun sets in the afternoon, then now is pure "enjoyment time". Everyone is walking and chatting in a leisurely manner, completely spending their free time. She had seen such a scene in Shangyuan City, but it was only in front of the bustling brothel on Huajie Street. The main tone in the city was still openness and silence. Ordinary people did not want to go out and touch the gangsters at this time. .
In addition, evil spirits may appear in some remote places, such as docks and deep alleys. Even small evil spirits that have not yet formed can be fatal to ordinary people.
In other words, going out at night is the privilege of those who can protect themselves.
Jinxia completely subverts this convention.
"When did this situation begin?" Lord Shengtian couldn't help but ask.
"You mean the concert?" Li asked.
"No, there are so many people hanging out at night."
"Actually, it doesn't take long." It was Luo Qingqing who answered her, "It's probably only three or four months. But in order to achieve this goal, the Secretariat started working hard very early."
As a listener who upholds order, she is one of the most meticulous observers of Jinxia's order.
Regarding gangs and underground organizations that are common in other cities, Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun have the same view, and that is to spare no effort to crack down. Dock gangs, porters' associations, and robbery groups were all wiped out in the Secret Bureau's uncompromising campaign, and the backstage sponsors of these organizations, such as local wealthy families or large landowners, were also liquidated one by one. Although she did not witness this process with her own eyes, Luo Youer was her second pair of eyes. Under the junior sister's elated description, she understood it no less than if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
In fact, many new forces will do the same thing after taking power. Resources and wealth need to be re-divided. If the old forces are not cleared away, it will be impossible to fill their pockets so quickly. And this is also the biggest difference between those in power and Jin Xia. While cleaning up underground organizations, the Secretariat also promulgated a series of new laws to attack private armed forces from the source and released a large number of jobs, allowing those who had nothing to gain a A chance to start over.
After several sets of combined punches, the gangs and hooligans that seemed to be forever ineradicable disappeared in a very short period of time.
But Xia Fan was not satisfied with this.
He used Shenjin Weekly to issue a call for people to "use" the night and turn it into a period of time that is as fulfilling as the day. Later, Miss Long’s concert, vocational training school, seafood discount market and other activities were all arranged at night. At the same time, he also set up oil lamp posts at many street intersections in the city, heavily subsidized candles, fish oil lamps and other industries, reducing nighttime lighting costs to an unprecedented level.
Luo Qingqing could say that he saw with his own eyes that Jinxia's night turned from calm to lively.
She didn't understand at first why the other party was trying so hard to encourage people to go out at night.
It was not until she lived in Jinxia for a period of time that she gradually understood the meaning of this change.
The most direct feeling is that the time at the disposal of Jinxia people in a day has become longer.
People can work during the day, have fun at night, or go to school for further study. There are obviously many more things they can do than in the past. The prosperity at night also promotes the development of the market, making the city look vibrant.
The most important thing is that light can dispel darkness, and streets occupied by ordinary people reduce the territory of gangs who want to make a comeback. Once the turbulent soil ceases to exist, no matter how many outsiders there are, they will be forced to accept Jinxia's new order and either quickly integrate into it or be completely eliminated.
This is also the reason why Jinxia City can still maintain the stability of the city despite hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Letting people spontaneously walk out of their homes at night is a seemingly simple goal, but the Secretariat has actually made great efforts.
After listening to Luo Qing's answer, Venerable Shengtian couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
Is there really such a listener who can hear messages from outside the world anytime and anywhere? Otherwise, how can we explain that he made Jinxia City so unique
Before she set foot here, she could not have imagined that there could be such a huge difference between cities.
The moment a group of people entered the square, bright yellow lights suddenly lit up around the venue!
The light sources were arranged in a ring around the site, illuminating the entire ground in the blink of an eye.
As the darkness cleared, people's figures became clearly distinguishable. For a short while, Lord Shengtian even thought that the sun had emerged from the sky again!
She couldn't help but be shocked, squinting her eyes and looking towards the bright light with difficulty, "What kind of magic weapon is this?"
"That's not a magic weapon, but a clever device that uses vibration to light up." Li Ye shook his ears in surprise, "The last time I saw it, it was just a paper idea by Xia Fan. I didn't expect it to come from the west." By the end of the day, it was a finished product."
"Mechanism?" The Venerable asked in disbelief.
She has seen many exquisite mechanisms, but this is the first time she has encountered one that can shine. What's more, this light is extremely stable, not beating like a flame at all, and its brightness is several times higher than that of an ordinary torch.
"Well, Xia Fan calls it a shaking lamp. Although it needs to be driven by the shaking technique, the body does not have a seal-engraved talisman, so it cannot be regarded as a magic weapon."
But shouldn't the shock technique be fleeting
His Holiness was greatly puzzled.
"This thing has many advantages." Li seemed to notice her surprise. "The wind can't extinguish it, the water can't quench it, and it can be used in small and confined spaces. As long as the alchemist who provides the flow light technique has not exhausted his breath. , the light will always exist.”
This thing may be the weapon that the Salvation Cult desires most!
Lord Shengtian suddenly realized.
If they can bring the seismic lamp below the patio, they can greatly restrict the movement of the evil spirit, reduce the defensive pressure of each evil spirit attack, and maybe even open the way to the bottom in one go!
