Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 686686 Confrontation

"What kind of nonsense is this?" An old woman watched as a policeman in black uniform roughly pulled out the flower she had planted for two years. It was a beautiful thing, and the old woman had been carefully Cultivation.

It is a pity that with an order from His Majesty the King, the cultivation of this plant has been banned in the entire kingdom. Not a single one is allowed to be raised, it's a bit too strict.

"This is the law! It is forbidden to grow such plants in the Tang Dynasty! It is classified as a dangerous item!" The young policeman put the pulled out plants into a sack and threw it into a truck parked on the street. He came back and warned the old man: "Planting this plant is a death sentence from now on!"

“Oh my God, is it true?” A farmer watching the show was startled and asked with his eyes widened.

“Of course it’s true.” The young patrolman took off his big-brimmed hat to let his damp hair breathe.

 He ​​flapped his hat and said to the onlookers: "Stealing more than 100 gold coins is only sentenced to 3 years! If you catch this thing, you will be shot directly! Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Many people suddenly realized how terrible this thing is—stealing a huge sum of money does not require death, but planting a ragged flower will result in death. This shows how much His Majesty the King hates this plant.

"Back then, when His Majesty the King's mother died, His Majesty saw her mother's grave full of yin flowers! So he hated this kind of flower and swore that he never wanted to see this kind of flower again!" the patrolman explained as he got into the truck. .

His words also made everyone understand why His Majesty the King announced that the entire Tang Kingdom was not allowed to see such flowers.

It turned out that there was such a sad past. The common people who had enjoyed the welfare benefits of the Tang Dynasty and began to identify themselves as Tang people immediately sympathized with their King.

 There is no way, they really love His Majesty the King who allows them to live a good life and have enough to eat.

Now His Majesty the King has said that if you don’t want to see this kind of flower...then don’t plant it. It’s just a kind of flower anyway, it’s no big deal.

As a result, some of the farmland originally cultivated for this flower has been replanted, and the executive office has even provided subsidies and tax breaks for converting to other crops.

Under the supervision of the patrol police, those who grew privately also obediently destroyed the ornamental flowers in their hands.

In order to prevent interested people from prying into the secrets, Tang Mo even made up a set of lies to cover up his true purpose.

In this way, a vigorous flower ban movement was launched in the Tang Dynasty, and a drug disaster that corroded people's souls was suppressed silently at the same time.

In the Prime Minister's Office of the Tang Dynasty, Roger was sitting in the study, processing documents related to the new power plant. Last year, the total power generation of the Tang Kingdom was more than 200 billion kilowatt-hours, which was almost as much as the total power generation of other countries.

This year, Tang State plans to double this basis, bringing the country's total power generation to 400 billion kilowatt-hours!

 This is a very great goal. If this goal can be achieved, the industrial development of the Tang Kingdom will rise to a new level.

Roger was really shocked by this construction speed. He deeply felt that the people in the Zheng and Qi areas occupied by the Tang Kingdom seemed to be more diligent than the civilians in the original Bunas area.

These Chinese, or rather these Tang people, are really too curly, to the point of being outrageous. They love building their homes so much that they will do whatever it takes to do so.

 Scenes that have been rarely seen in Bunas can be seen everywhere in the entire Tang Kingdom.

He could often see workers sleeping in factories in prosperous places like Chang'an. Construction workers worked overtime until it was completely dark, and then fell asleep in the construction site full of cement dust.

Such crazy work directly accelerated the construction speed of the Tang Kingdom several times. Every link is being produced with utmost effort, and the results will naturally appear in front of everyone's eyes very quickly.

 The number of chimneys in Copper City is increasing every day. Anpu, which was a small town more than a year ago, now has a population of nearly 700,000!

Datang is recreating the Miracle of Bunas at a rate of one Bunas per year. Five years ago, Roger would not have believed that this would happen.

At that time, the development speed of Bunas was completely beyond Roger's knowledge, and now, the development speed of the entire Tang Dynasty... exceeded everyone's knowledge.

 Because the governors who lead every city and every small town in this country have all seen Bunas. They all understand the Bunas model and are familiar with that set of things.

They just need to follow the instructions. As long as they follow the path of modern urban development step by step, they can build the city they manage into a "holy place" like Bunas.

Everyone is comparing development, and everyone has an almost identical development theory: if you want to get rich, build roads first, have more children and plant more trees!

 Population is competitiveness, roads are the blood vessels of industry, oil is the blood of industry, industry is the symbol of wealth, and buildings are the muscles of a city!

Henceforth, building houses, building roads, building factories, and planting barren hills with fruit trees became what the entire Tang Kingdom was doing. The country is constantly improving infrastructure construction, and railways and highways have begun to form a network. The billions of gold coins collected from various countries have not had time to be sent to Tang Mo's treasury, but have turned into various infrastructure construction. It became a power plant, became a railway track, became asphalt, and became a variety of technical laboratories.

Roger's eyes felt a little sore when he looked at these documents. He rubbed his eyes, then turned a page and continued to look at the data he was familiar with.

 He has to understand these data every once in a while. This represents his control over the country and is the work he must complete.

 In the kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a cook is preparing tea for the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. This is her job. At this time every day, the Prime Minister needs a cup of tea to refresh himself.

The prime minister liked the tea she made so much, so she has always been doing the work. It was the same today, she repeated every step, no different from the past.

At this time, a maid came in with a smile, greeted her, and then started chatting about random topics.

The cook didn’t suspect anything. After all, they were colleagues who had known each other for a long time, so they chatted with each other while making tea.

  She never stopped working, and practice makes perfect without any confusion. The maid who didn't know why she came to chat at this time approached the tea table as she spoke, as if she wanted to get closer to the cook.

"I advise you not to do this." Behind the two women, another woman's voice suddenly emerged. A maid who was usually not very conspicuous walked up to the two of them, stretched out her hand and grabbed the wrist of the maid who came to chat.

The maid who had been smiling suddenly changed her expression. She nervously wanted to pull her arm back, but found that the other person's hand was as strong as a steel pliers, and she could not break free at all.

Suddenly, she picked up the fork on the table with her other hand and stabbed the maid who was holding her arm from the other side.

However, she found that the other party was not in a hurry at all and calmly avoided her fork. The other hand struck her wrist, knocking the fork away from her hand and almost destroying her wrist.

The hand that was grabbed lost all strength, and a paper bag containing poison in his hand fell to the ground. The female killer who came to chat with a smile knew that the operation failed and she was going to die here today.

 “Who are you!” the female killer, who was at the end of her rope, asked sharply.

The maid who stopped her from poisoning didn't say anything. She grabbed her arm and kept her away from the cook. Then he spoke coldly and answered the killer's question: "Someone who wants to save his life!"

 “Hey!” The female killer tried to fight back again, swinging the arm that had just been hit on the wrist, and punched while enduring the sting.

 She felt that if she could break free from the other party's grasp and cause some trouble, she might have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, just when she was thinking about how to escape, the opponent holding her arm pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed her directly in the ribs.

After a while, she lost the strength to resist, but the other party still did not relax her vigilance. Instead, she pulled out the knife and stabbed him several times in succession. Clean, no hesitation.

The female killer fell to her knees. She didn’t understand why she was exposed, nor why the other party didn’t capture anyone alive and torture her about who sent her here...

  Unfortunately, before she could think about all this, she lost her breath and ended her life kneeling there. It happened so fast that the cook forgot to scream.

 She stood there covering her mouth, not knowing what to do. She didn't understand why a colleague she knew turned out to be a killer, nor did she understand why another colleague she knew could kill a killer...

"Are you okay? I am a security personnel arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the prime minister's residence. Don't be afraid. You are safe now, she is dead." The maid still holding the dagger in her hand smiled, with a drop of blood on her face. Blood splattered on it.

In the room, Roger raised his head and saw the captain of the prime minister's bodyguard who came to see him: "What's wrong? What happened?"

“A lurking assassin of Cyric was caught.” The captain of the guard replied: “It was an undercover agent arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs who caught him.”

“It doesn’t matter, as long as she is caught. She notified me when she came in, so there is no need to make a fuss.” Roger lowered his head and started to work again: “Can I still drink tea?”

"I'll hurry." The captain of the guard's face became much better after hearing Roger's explanation. He stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the room.
