Chapter 1957: Online news

Less than half an hour after leading the swarm of bees to fly out, Qiao An saw the sail shadow of the Coral.
At the same time, the watchmen on the expedition ship also saw the buzzing and roaring swarm of bees, and quickly blew the horn to warn the sailors on the ship to prepare to meet the enemy.
Captain Odysseus led the water to the deck with a gun and saw four familiar figures in the bee colony through the binoculars. Only then did he wake up to the "Oolong", severely reprimand the nervous lookout, and ordered his hand to ring. The siren, the swarm of bees welcoming and escorting the refugees landed on the deck.
"The Coral" has limited space. Captain Odysseus can only place hundreds of refugees on the open deck, and ordered the crew to bring them food and water. Anyway, fill their stomachs first, and then discuss with Hailar. , It is recommended to temporarily change the course and send the refugees to the nearest port so that they can go ashore to make a living.
Hailar discussed with the sisters and brothers of Qiao'an and Zion. Everyone felt that the sea was turbulent and the night was long and dreamy. It would be better to send the refugees ashore as soon as possible and agreed to Captain Odysseus' proposal.
The expedition ship turns and sails westward. If there is no accident on the way, it will be a reliable port by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
In this calculation, the refugees will have to stay on the open deck for at least one full day. The health of these old people and children are very weak.
"Should we build a few refuge huts on the deck to accommodate refugees, at least to help them shelter from the wind and sun." Holden looked at Qiao An.
Qiao An wanted to nod his head in agreement, but then he thought of a spell that was more suitable as a refuge than the "Refuge Hut", which was the 4-ring protection arcane "portable laboratory" he learned from his instructor.
"Portable Laboratory" is a spell invented by Professor Moriarty based on the "Refuge Cabin". Four improvements have been made on the basis of the latter: it lasts longer, has a larger indoor space, can divide rooms, and does not require the caster. Stay indoors.
Qiao An took out a glass bead from the casting material bag, walked to the center of the deck, waved to the refugees to make room, and then cast a spell to build a building constructed of opaque force field walls. The upper and lower floors are divided into countless numbers. Small room, like a honeycomb.
These small rooms are a bit like single rooms in cheap hotels. The living environment is not comfortable, but it is better than withstanding the wind and sun.
During the resettlement of refugees in this temporary "hotel", Qiao An took them to find out where they came from, and why they ventured across the ocean to the New World.
The answers of all the refugees were exactly the same. They were originally self-employed farmers who lived in the interior of the empire for generations. Their lives were already very difficult. The land reform policy implemented by the imperial authorities this summer made their situation worse and deprived them of their little land. , Reduced to bankruptcy.
These small farmers who had lost their land had nowhere to go, so they had to spend the last bit of money to buy ferry tickets, drag their families aboard the immigration ship, and travel across the ocean to the sparsely populated New World to seek a living.
Unexpectedly, misfortune did not come singly. The immigrant ship escaped the storm, but failed to escape the pirates. The young men and women on the ship were taken away by the pirates. They only left the old people and children on the ship to die. Fortunately, Joe Ann rescued them and gave them a way to survive.
The refugees were grateful and thankful, Qiao An didn't care. The refugees' and tearful accusations against the imperial authorities touched him deeply. He was eager to find out what happened in the interior of the empire in the past six months, so that the people were disappointed.
"Qiao An, when I was in Canaan, I heard Brother Colofa talked about the reform policies implemented by the imperial authorities and made many criticisms. Looking back, my eldest brother’s criticisms were hit by the nail on the head, and almost all have been verified. ."
After all, Holden came from the Canaanite royal family. His college major was journalism, and he was much more informed than Qiao An, an otaku who didn't listen to outside affairs and devoted himself to research.
"Starting from this spring, the'reformers' headed by Prince Frank of the Ashen Empire have mastered the actual power of the cabinet. They started with the reform of paper money in the financial sector, and then launched many more reforms in other areas of the national economy. Radical reform measures."
"On the surface, the reform plan led by Prince Frank mostly imitated the policies implemented by the Kolas regime in the Far East, such as liberating serfs, revising the tax law, establishing state farms, etc., but the results received are quite different from those in the Far East. Instead of reversing the empire’s financial dilemma, it caused great suffering to the people at the bottom of the rule and further aggravated domestic conflicts and social unrest."
"The self-cultivating peasants who lost their land during the reform, including many so-called'liberated' serfs, did not live as well as before. In order to make a living, they had to leave their homes and emigrate to the New World."
After listening to Holden’s account, Qiao Ann still couldn’t figure it out. Prince Frank and his financial adviser, Mr. John Lauer, were both smart people. The courage to advocate reforms was admirable, and they were all implemented in the Far East. A policy that has been implemented for at least a year and has been proven to be fruitful, how can it be embezzled to the inland of the empire and become unaccustomed to the situation, resulting in such a rotten situation?
Where is the problem?
"Qiao An, it is difficult for me to explain these questions in two or two sentences, but I happened to read an article that analyzed these questions thoroughly. If you are interested, I can find it for you."
"Okay, what is the article?" Qiao An asked with interest.
"A front-page article published in the "Motherland Daily" in early October, the content is the record of the speech delivered by His Royal Highness Roland, Prince of the Far East." Audrey came over and answered her brother with a smile.
Qiao An frowned upon hearing it, and couldn't help but question: "Our expedition ship just left Elephant Island in early October, and then encountered a storm and wandered at sea for several days. How could you possibly see the Far Eastern newspaper issued during that time?"
"My friend, it's the'cloud age' now. The hillbilly bought the newspaper!" Holden smiled and revealed the answer. "My sister and I log on to the news forum of the cloud network every day and subscribe directly to the Internet. News report issued."
Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the cloud online line opened stores and shopping functions. Soon after that, he did launch another online news service, but he had developed the habit of buying newspapers every day and did not pay much attention to this new one. Features.
Now that Holden ridiculed him, Qiao An realized a very serious problem-no matter how perfect the distribution and distribution network of the newspaper is, there will always be corners that cannot be reached.
For example, a person drifting at sea is equivalent to being isolated from the world, unable to buy newspapers, and of course he doesn’t know anything about news happening nowadays.
