Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1551 Fight!Master and Apprentice 49

"Boss, are you recruiting?"

A woman with chapped lips looked lifeless standing at the door of a restaurant. After looking at the dark-skinned woman, the boss shook his head.

"no!"

The woman licked her lips.

"Is it possible?"

Before the woman finished speaking, the boss had already turned to look at the other applicants, and the woman was quickly pushed back by the crowd.

Most of the restaurants are already full of people. This is an industry that can still find jobs in the city, but you must have strength to enter the restaurant, and you must pass the appearance.

Most people can't hold it anymore. Although they have food and water distributed by Congress every three days, for many people, this kind of hopeless life is extremely cruel for many people.

At this time, this dark-skinned woman looked at everything in front of her blankly. She didn't know what to do in the future.

A truck drove over slowly, and a man on it shouted with a loudspeaker.

"The tobacco leaf plantation of Sumer's family urgently needs a lot of manpower, and the wages are 20 yuan a day, and three meals are provided."

All of a sudden, a large number of people squeezed past, and dark-skinned women also rushed over. If there is money to be made, many people don't want to live on relief food every day as if they are waiting to die.

Located in the northeast corner of the city, it is the family's plantation area. Basically, except for a small amount of crops, it is all planted with tobacco. This is the second only food supply in the city. Tobacco has been fully grown since the establishment of the city. Open to the family.

Most families would grow food when the food supply was insufficient at the beginning, and there was no commodity law restriction at that time, the food produced in the family's fields was of the highest quality, and the price of food was generally higher than the overall market price. Some small families are for personal use, and some medium and large families are for commercial use.

However, after the promulgation of the Commodity Law, the market price of food was stabilized. Although the family’s food was still of high quality and was still being supplied to the upper echelons, the price of raw materials and profit margins had begun to fall, so most families began to produce tobacco. industry.

There are a large number of tobacco companies in the city, ranging from the cheapest 1 pack of cigarettes to 1 packs of cigarettes. Cigarettes of various flavors are consumables that are second only to food in the city.

In recent years, most of the families have set aside the crops in the fields, except for the fields that their own families need every year, and all the other fields have been built into tobacco leaf cultivation greenhouses.

"Can you work?"

The person in charge of the Sumerian family asked, and the dark-skinned woman nodded. There were people coming up from the truck, but many people still didn't seem to want to work in the farmland. The wages were too low for many people. Working in a restaurant during this season can basically get 1000 yuan a month.

"Come up!"

The woman said thank you gratefully and got on the bus. Soon the truck was filled with more than 100 people, and there were no more people to recruit. It could hold 200 people, but the person in charge was still shouting hard.

At this time, some reporters on the street were interviewing some low-level people.

"I need a job."

Most people will answer the questions of reporters in this way. Nowadays, there are more and more people who are idle at home in the city, and nearly 65% ​​of them have no jobs. They can only continue to wait for the factories in the west to fully start.

Relief food is not available to everyone, only those who are too poor to get a dime out of their pockets. Complaining, anger, and crying have completely lost their effect, and many people can only continue to endure.

The current managers have given many people an incomparably tough feeling that the law and order problem has indeed been resolved, but more problems are spreading.

The east and west of the city are already devastated, dilapidated, and the bad houses have been demolished. Although the owners will get a compensation from Congress and the houses will be rebuilt after the project is over, everyone feels resentful.

Now that the Angus family has been listed on the market, the voice of dissatisfaction in the city has intensified. Most people think that the Angus family is too greedy. A few days after the opening of the market, the stock of Angus's family rushed to the top and could not continue to rise. A large number of businessmen, companies, and some people with a little spare money all put their money into it.

Because everyone knows that if you are late, you will earn less. As long as the construction continues, the Angus family will be able to generate money continuously.

X stood quietly on the roof of a high-rise building on the ground floor, looking at the people below who were still waiting to receive relief food. The city was in a mess everywhere, and many public facilities were already unusable.

"That bastard Eddie!"

X is very clear that if the construction project does not have these things he messed with, the factory can already be started now. His purpose of doing this is to force the Angus family to go public. Go public to integrate most of the resources, and only with money can we continue to speed up the progress.

This is a construction worth hundreds of billions. Funds will flow around the city day and night. The coins thrown by the capital can always make the city move. In the end, this coin will become extremely huge and return to the capital. hands, but all aspects of the city were driven up.

From X's point of view, the plans of the gods are not problematic, but they still overlooked one point. They didn't get rid of the Hillman family. It's just that they couldn't do it decades ago, and they didn't have any chance for the gods to solve it. The family is a problem that plagues the city.

They are needed for the establishment of a city, and they are also needed for the development of a city. In X's view, the appearance of the bureau is just a meaningless move. There will always be endless problems in human society, and the root of these problems is that human beings have been born since birth. desire to have.

X came here today with the intention of going to the west, because according to the information given to him by the AIs, the gods have come up with a pretty amazing thing for the supply of electricity, and X really wants to take a look.

At this time, in an alley, some people with the food they had just received walked into a house with a smile. When they came out, the bags used to receive food were already empty. Carrying a bag of liquid food, he quickly disappeared on the street.

X shook his head. These people seem to have no idea what they are doing, because in the eyes of many people, there is the concept that the law does not punish the public, and in fact it is true, although many people have participated in black market transactions. Ke also knew, but did not arrest these people in accordance with the previous punishment method.

“If this continues, it will only usher in an era of stronger regulation.”

Eddie's plan has been successful, and the Angus family also knows what kind of risk it means to go public, but in the end their family took such a huge risk to go public. It won't take many years for the entire Angus family to collapse .

Most business people know what to do, because there are not many such opportunities, and the attack will start without any oral or written agreement, which is something that business people don't need to think about at all.

The more and more excessive chaos has made businessmen see a lot of opportunities to make a fortune. There will be no winners in this zero-sum game.

"You're still too young Eddie!"

X has already witnessed such a society countless times. Businessmen and power holders are all keen on this feast. Many people think that as long as they can eat a piece of meat, it is good, but they don’t know that what they eat will be intact one day. Spit back without moving.

The weather began to heat up in the afternoon, and the temperature was still very high. On the truck driving to the Sumer family in the northeast, many people chatted acquaintedly.

A short, thin, dark-skinned woman sat quietly in the corner outside the truck, and she did not communicate with others.

Although many people complained, having wages and three meals a day is good for many people who cannot find a job.

The truck was stuck on the road, and the driver started yelling. Looking at the traffic jam time given by the AI, it would take half an hour.

At this time, the people in the truck all began to take off their coats and cover their heads. The hot temperature made many people sweat profusely.

The dark-skinned woman couldn't take it anymore, and she leaned back a little disgusted.

"Miss, if you continue like this, you will suffer from heat stroke."

A sallow-skinned but burly man handed over a bottle of water. After the woman took a sip gratefully, the man poured the water on the woman's head, making her feel a little better.

On both sides of the highway, many people came to sell bottled water. This is a very common scene. Once there is a traffic jam, some people who are exposed to the sun in the afternoon will definitely not be able to bear it.

A bottle of 1 kg of water costs 5 cents, which is just ordinary tap water, but 1 ton of water from a water plant only costs 2 cents and 5 cents.

Although some people from the 5th department nearby saw it, they did not stop such behavior, because everyone was just doing it for a living.

The woman shook her teeth, took out the last 1 yuan from her pocket, bought a bottle of water, and felt a little relieved.

Finally the car started to start, and many people had smiles on their faces again. According to this speed, it would take at least tonight to arrive at the place.

After the car had just driven a few kilometers, it encountered a traffic jam again. The driver and the person in charge turned around and told everyone.

"This time there will be a traffic jam for an hour, everyone should buy some food first, otherwise you may not be able to hold on on the road later."

Speaking of which, the driver and the person in charge walked towards a small restaurant on the street, and some people on the truck got up and got off directly.

The woman got out of the car a little tired. There were food stalls everywhere on the street, and the aroma stimulated everyone's taste buds. It was just 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

However, the dark-skinned woman soon discovered that the last 5 cents left in her pocket could not even afford the cheapest omelet. This kind of omelet cost 8 cents. After paying 5 cents, his expression became serious.

In order to be able to find a job, the woman did not queue up to wait for the food to be distributed today. She finally found a job, but now she is dizzy from hunger.

The woman stood awkwardly on the street, watching many people who had already bought food, and sat casually in some resting areas on the side of the street, gobbling her food, the woman licked her chapped lips, and drank Sip of water.

"Take it!"

The woman raised her head in surprise, and saw a hot omelette placed in front of her. It was the man who gave her water just now, and he grinned.

"When you get your salary, you can just pay me back."

The woman seemed a little embarrassed, took out 5 cents from her pocket, handed it to the man, and said thank you tremblingly, the man shook his head, but did not answer.

"My name is Luo Jun, how about you?"

"Bayek."

The dark-skinned woman lowered her head, looked at the half omelette left, and handed it over.

"You haven't eaten yet!"

The man became embarrassed, and took it with a smile. The two looked at each other and smiled, and began to talk about some things after going to the farm.

When approaching 5 o'clock, the sun's rays began to dim, but this was for other parts of the city except the east.

The temperature on the eastern farms is still a bit hot. In order to allow the crops in the agricultural base to mature more quickly, the amount of sunlight every day is necessary.

The harm caused by construction pollution to agricultural bases has become more serious now.

Ye Chunwang squatted in a disheveled state in a field with many withered crops. Not far away was the construction site, and construction particles flew over from time to time.

"The most serious thing is this area, Jean, the surrounding land has begun to desertify, and it is impossible not to do something."

Jean next to him nodded. The two of them had traveled through most of the dust-polluted places in detail today, and finally came to the conclusion that the only way was to separate the wall.

When the temperature drops at night, the construction dust will be pushed into the agricultural base with the wind, and the flying height will be between 20 meters and 100 meters.

That is to say, if you want to contain it, you must erect a 110-meter-high separation wall on the periphery of the agricultural base. in the agricultural base.

Now only the middle and lower levels in the east and west have undergone construction and transformation, the south and north have not yet undergone construction and transformation, and the terrain in the north is much higher than other places, and the harm will intensify in the future.

The cultivation of planting soil is a difficult and time-consuming project. Once the land is desertified, the desertification will become more and more serious as the area expands.

"It has to be done within a week, otherwise the situation will get worse."

As Ye Chunwang said, Gene squatted on the ground and lit a cigarette.

"I'll let Witte come up with a plan within an hour."

Ye Chunwang nodded.

"Let the gods come here. There is no way to call too many workers now, and Congress can't afford this extra money. The length of more than 100 kilometers should not be difficult for you. In a week's time built."

Gene nodded with a smile. Now that there are light and shadow materials, Rose only needs to release the power. The other six people help carry them back and forth and simulate the required materials with Mimic X. The construction can indeed be carried out quickly.

"It doesn't need a week, just five days is enough."

Gene took out a ring from his pocket, and soon six light and shadow screens appeared, and the six guys looked at Gene with solemn expressions.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Werther, hurry up and produce the design drawings. As for the other guys, hurry up and start delivering the materials. I'll let Xiaopang issue an urgent notice."

Ye Chunwang nodded, now there is no other way, if there is no semi-permanent material that can be recycled at will, the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at the land behind me that has been reclaimed for half a century, it was finally fully reclaimed some time ago. It will take time for the land to recover in some places.

"If the factories in the west don't open again, the city will be in a very embarrassing situation. It has to be done as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, you can participate in the construction."

"Xiaoye, what exactly does suffering bring to people?"

Ye Chunwang nodded, and then smiled helplessly. He knew what Gene wanted to say. Things always have two sides. There is no absolute beauty, and there is no absolute suffering. Hope and suffering always coexist. The city has been comfortable for 20 for many years.

Especially in these years, people in most areas only need to rely on various subsidies in the area to live, or rely on collecting rent and doing odd jobs to enjoy everything safely.

There have been several labor shortages in the city, not because there are too many people who are unwilling to work.

Even a place like an agricultural base that requires a large number of people to work all year round, if it is not a criminal or someone who can't make it through, it is rare to come to work in this place.

The means by which the gods have always maintained stable prices has been very tough. It is already a miracle that no serious inflation has occurred in these years. There are many invisible scheduling behind the scenes, and the gods will use AI all over the city to advance See everything.

It is always possible to introduce some corresponding laws and regulations when the city is moderate, to stabilize and effectively curb the city's prices.

The price level 30 years ago was actually the same as it is now. In the past, an egg cost 5 cents, but now it only costs 4 cents or even more than 3 cents in some districts. In the past, the per capita salary of the bottom class was 150 to 200 yuan, and now it is 500 cents. More, it has increased by about 3 times, and the middle-level wages of 800 to 1000 in the past have risen to 2000, and the upper-level wages of about 2000 in the past have now averaged to more than 4000.

In the past, part of the tax revenue was used to subsidize. Although the problem of corruption often appeared, it has been relatively comprehensively and strictly curbed in recent years, except for the marginalized 3 departments.

During the 20 years of abundant material life, it was stable for everyone, but some people have developed inertia because of this.

Nowadays, as soon as the regional tax subsidies in the city are cut off, problems will follow one after another. With the deepening of construction, most of them bought houses, cars and many necessities for life in the past comfortable years. The Japanese may not even have a dime in their pockets.

Many people used to work for half a year and then rested for half a year. Some people even participated in crimes in order to be more comfortable. Now crimes have been thoroughly suppressed by the 5th Division.

In the past, some people who participated in crimes by petty theft and most of the people who lived comfortably did not have any source of income. There are nearly 400 million people in this group, and the proportion of the bottom is very serious.

In the past, before the gully was formed, one quarry factory after another was in urgent need of a large number of workers, and there would always be labor shortages of varying degrees. The situation in the factories was the same, and workers were often replaced. Although there is a certain relationship with exploitation, as long as you move your feet and go out, you can find a job anywhere in the city.

The gods have announced such a construction many years in advance, but these people are still indifferent. Today, nearly 200 million people live by receiving relief food.

The problem before everyone is a dilemma. If the price is raised, it will cause more serious harm to the city. The price has been stable for a long time, but it will create some lazy people.

Nowadays, problems in various aspects are beginning to emerge one after another, but the only hope is that the factories in the west will start to open. Once the factories start to open, the city will start to move rapidly again, and all walks of life will reach their peak.

Ye Chun looked at Jin who was discussing things with other gods, and sighed helplessly.

What Ye Chunwang is most worried about now is that if the chaos continues after the construction, the gods will activate the citizenship level. This is a nightmare for many people, forcing everyone in the city to work.

Once this step is reached, the situation at the bottom may become more serious.

Ye Chunwang walked slowly to some crops that were about to wither not far away, squatted next to the crops, patted some crops that were covered with dust, and quickly cleaned some of the dust, and the plants were green. He looked worriedly at the dark barrier area in the distance.

Although he has left the power center for a long time, Ye Chunwang has the authority to check many things. What he is most worried about is the current barrier area, where nearly 20 criminals already live there.

This is known from the investigation report given by Section 3, especially during the more than a year of Alpha's tough fight against crime, a large number of criminals have fled to the barrier area.

Coupled with the current situation that private individuals are allowed to own lifts, some criminals easily fled to the barrier area, and after a period of time, they will quietly return to live in a large abandoned area in the west from the northwest.

After discussing with the other six guys, Gene ended the call and came to Ye Chunwang's side.

"What's the matter, Xiaoye, are you worried?"

Ye Chunwang hummed.

"It's Anxiety Jean, what that kid Clark did, what Latis and the others are doing now, and what the students in the city have been trained by you. Every subject has its own way, although everyone can Working together, I can handle most of the problems, but I always feel uneasy!"

Jin nodded and squatted beside Ye Chunwang.

"The darkness before dawn always makes people feel uneasy and suffering. It's okay Xiaoye. Everything has two sides. Some things must be done by someone. It's like reclaiming the land. Many things will happen in the process of reclaiming the land. , but the finally reclaimed land can grow food and feed everyone."

"It's just that you thought about it, would it be too cruel without Jean? This process."

Gene smiled and stood up.

"The city must move forward. It cannot stop. If it stops, human beings will have no hope. Sometimes the night is very long for many people. I can't answer these things for you Xiaoye. Many questions are like this. Although we are in the You see gods in your eyes, but we are not all-knowing and omnipotent!"

Ye Chunwang nodded.

"I just want you to think about the citizenship level. I know you should have planned it a long time ago. The citizenship level."

Gene looked at Ye Chunwang in surprise, and he said with a smile.

"During the time I was free, I went to Li Chu. I heard it from him. Although I don't know the details, this thing can control many things. But it’s too cruel for people, what I can think of is that the things that every citizen can do are completely formatted and hierarchical, which is a very sad thing for us people.”

Gene hummed.

"I'm not a fan of the citizenship class thing, but if it does come to a certain point, the problem can't be contained"

Gene didn't finish his sentence with a serious face, Ye Chunwang stood up, because there were already 5 large lifts coming towards him in the distance.

5:45

Just when many people were planning to go home and prepare to cook immediately when the electricity came, Locke's temporary televised speech appeared on the Internet and in some places on the street, which was regarded as an urgent notice.

In order to prevent the increasingly serious construction dust pollution, the gods will build a 113-kilometer-long separation wall with a height of 120 meters on the periphery of the eastern grain base.

This speech informs everyone nearby that there is no need to panic, because the gods will use their own power to complete the construction independently, without any outsider participation, but it is a serious warning to anyone who approaches the wall, and if found, they will be arrested immediately.

Following the broadcast of the news, many people invariably looked towards the east. At this time, the brilliance of the sun began to get weaker and weaker, and most parts of the city had fallen into darkness.

When the last ray of sunshine dissipated, the Sumer family's truck loaded with more than 100 workers slowly drove into a tobacco planting base.

Luo Jun and Bayek got out of the car with other workers during the explanation of the person in charge, and there were many tobacco leaf planting sheds with nothing.

The person in charge directly asked everyone to follow him to eat, and asked everyone to start working immediately after eating.

Bayek was a little strange, because this place belonging to the family was sparsely populated. Along the way, he saw that there were almost no people in the planting land of many families.

"Let's go!"

Luo Jun smiled and walked quickly. Bayek looked at the facilities in Sumer's plantation with some surprises. Although the salary was low, it was much more comfortable than the ground floor where she was.
