Douluo See You For a Long Time
Chapter 1608: Backstab
It is impossible for Zheng Yan not to notice the rumors in the city, but he has no way to stop it. The cultural level of the people in this era is insufficient. As a result, it is difficult for him to select enough grass-roots officials with management ability, which makes his ability to control the city insufficient.
And such a thing as public opinion, once it cannot be fully controlled at the first time, it will only spread faster and faster.
Zheng Yan is very painful. He hates industry, hates capital, and hates a society where everything can be determined by money, but now he must study these hard, before the situation in the city is completely out of control, he must learn how to run a factory and how to manage himself. people, become their own workers.
But this is very difficult for him. He has the force and the fighting power of Contra. He can't be said to be the top in this era, but most of the time it is enough to protect his property from infringing. However, he has no skills and wants to become a factory owner. At least you must have a certain advantage in technology, otherwise, your own workers will not have any professional skills. Without skills, the knowledge level of the workers is good, and they will definitely lose money and stay with them until their death.
Not only that, Zheng Yan still lacks a start-up capital. With his current interpersonal relationship, everyone is looking forward to his downfall. No one is willing to lend him money, and the lack of start-up capital is the most critical problem.
Carrying these people, if there is no start-up capital, is a huge expense to feed them. In the early stage of any industry, there is a loss, and it will not start to make a profit until a product is produced.
He wants to solve the predicament in front of him, and the preparations he needs are far from being completed in a short time. He is only starting to regret it now, no, try to lead people out earlier.
Earlier, he just naively thought that as long as the operation of the city was maintained, the people in the city could live and work in peace and contentment just like hundreds of years ago.
...
As time went on, dissatisfaction began to brew in the city, and the materials in the city became more and more scarce. Although the residents were still working in the handicraft workshops, they couldn't help complaining.
Ketian City has no minerals, no agricultural products, and inconvenient transportation. The only source of income is the collection of unique animals and plants in the desert to make medicines.
And this process is very hard, whether it is people who go out of the city to collect raw materials, or workers who dry and grind flour, they all have to work hard.
Carrying a basket on his back, Jizhen, who trekked on the Gobi Desert, is a famous guide in the city. With him leading the team, the gathering team can often obtain more medicines.
Because of his importance in the gathering team, even in this relatively difficult time, his treatment is good. Compared with the situation where most people cannot even guarantee food supply, he can eat meat every week. It is not difficult to see that his status is high.
But he has been getting more and more troubled recently, especially after the remarks in the city that the city owner would not let everyone leave, this entanglement has become even more serious.
In the propaganda of the city owner, he told everyone that only by uniting as one, can they not be oppressed, saying that the city owner is trying to find a way to build a factory by himself, and everyone unites together to form a workers' union, so that they will not be bullied in the future.
Jizhen understands this. People living in the deserted wilderness know the power of unity best, because in these wild areas, a single person cannot survive at all.
There is no difference between exile and killing death here. No one can conquer the sinister nature without the help of others. This is true in the face of nature, and the same is true in the face of the sinister society.
But Ji Jin is still very annoying, he is not the most difficult person in life. Even now, he can rely on his own abilities and live a good life.
But what about later? He believes that the city lord is a good person, and he also believes that the city lord must be trying to find a way out for them, but after leaving Ketian City, will Jizhen still be the famous guide in the ten-mile-eight villages? What is the use of his familiarity with the terrain in the desert if he leaves the city?
The city owner will eventually take them away. If the city owner fails, they will also be forced to leave.
Ji Zhen didn't know what would happen to him if he left the city. While holding the thorns of the cactus, he casually pointed out the direction of the nearest small oasis to his gathering team.
Although the people in the gathering team had yellow faces and thin muscles, they all looked at him in awe after he pointed out the direction. The oasis was not far from here.
The distance of five or six kilometers is only one or two hours away. After seeing the oasis, everyone couldn't help cheering. The people of the collection team took wooden sticks and carefully tested the water source in the oasis. Here is the Possibly hiding a ferocious predator.
Kacha, a strange fish jumped out of the water and bit the stick. The tester hurriedly shook the stick, but he didn't want more fish to jump up and bite his hand. The bitten person was dragged ashore, and the strange fish that bit the person was beaten to death with a stick, but the man's finger that was bitten off could not be attached.
Ji Zhen noticed that the index finger was bitten off by the person who was screaming and screaming. Although it was not a **** like the thumb was bitten off, the efficiency of work in the future would also be greatly reduced, perhaps because of the food allocated. He was injured for the safety of the collection team, but when he died of embarrassment, the people of the collection team would not take the initiative to give him a portion of food.
The people who are in contact with on weekdays are so unworthy of entrustment, don't the people outside reject them even more and treat them more harshly?
Jizhen watched the wounded member's wounds bandaged and placed in the back row. He had already seen the tragic fate of this person in the future, and the people of the collection team, after finding a safe way to get water, collected a few fruits unique to the desert. , and handed over the fullest ones to Ji Zhen.
Ji Zhen only took one, and divided the rest. He took a bite of the sweet pulp, but a thought flashed in his mind, he couldn't become like these people, he couldn't lose the power in his hands, without leadership, he If there is no fruit to eat, he will face dangerous tasks, he may be injured, and he will face the danger of embarrassment and death.
This is unacceptable to him. Even if he leaves here, he cannot be at the bottom, but after leaving this city, his proud ability will be useless.
Outside of this backcountry, no one needs to know where in the desert there is water and where herbs are found.
Unless... he can be the first to leave the city and get the first bonus, but it's not easy. He knows that this is a betrayal of the city lord, but he has no choice, or in other words, only he has the choice...
Driven by interests, the guilt was quickly buried deep in his heart. He knew that he was sorry for the city lord, but at least he did not harm him. Taking some people away could also relieve some of the pressure on the city. He comforted himself like this.
He is the best guide in Ketian City, only he can lead people through the desert safely, so only he has the right to choose.
But he knew very well that the city lord was right. Only those who are united have strength. It is difficult for him to go out alone. Even if he goes out, how can he guarantee his own safety in the face of a strange environment?
Those who want to dismantle Ketiancheng probably need a role model, a role model for people who have left the city but lived a good life.
But in an unfamiliar outside world, Jizhen is not sure that he can really get such good treatment, and think about it from his perspective. If he is a nobleman, what will he do in the face of the residents who have escaped from Ketian City? Will he really spend a lot of money to raise him and find him a good job?
Probably not? If he arranged it, it must have been coercion and inducement, put a knife around his neck, asked him to write a handwritten letter, or forced him to take out a token, as long as it can prove that he is living well, there is no need to really give What a treat he was.
This is not what he wants. To really get what Lin Yantao promised, it is not only the courage to go out, but also the brain. As long as more than one person escaped together, everything would be different.
Among the people who escaped, some people can hide in the dark, so that once someone is treated harshly and does not get the treatment they deserve, the people in the dark can go back and report. With this layer of insurance, the noble master will consider it. For a little money, give them a taste of real sweetness.
And only when more people escape together, can they transfer property at a stage where they can get dividends, and after they have the capital to do some small business, they can run away collectively and escape liquidation.
There is a considerable risk of failure at every step, but compared to falling to the bottom and losing his privileges and guarantee of survival, he thinks it is worth the risk.
...
Bang!
The urchin threw the stone into a mansion where the city owner was entertaining guests, then turned around and ran away.
Lin Yantao looked at the stone smashed on his bedside table, and the content written on it in deliberately crooked fonts, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching, the strongest fortress is often broken from the inside.
He didn't dare to send people to come to Ketiancheng to recruit people with great fanfare, because the mother who would be beaten by a powerful Contra didn't know.
But now, the problem does not exist, there is a guide who can take people through the desert, and then it is only necessary to arrange for people to meet up.
...
In the dark alley, the man with his hood pulled down leaned against the wall, without turning his head, he just said indifferently: "Here? Are things ready?"
"Big... Sir, the list has been drawn up, this is..."
brush!
Ji Zhen didn't see clearly how the list in his hand got to the other party.
"Why are there old and weak above? There can be no elderly, disabled, children, women must be healthy women, and they can't be pregnant, understand?" The corner of the mouth under the hood sneered.
"You've already become a bitch, do you still have to set up an archway? I guess why you bring these old and weak people, do you want to relieve the pressure on your Lord of the City!
It seems that you still have a conscience, but ah, people with a conscience generally don't live long! The hooded man talked about the list in his hand: "Do as I say, otherwise..."
Otherwise, this list will appear on Zheng Yan's desktop tomorrow. This is a list, and it is also a nomination certificate. As a small person, even if he doesn't want to, Ji Zhen can only hand over his own initiative.
"Little... the villain understands, the villain will do it now!"
In the next week, Jizhen's collection team began to expand, and the enlarged manpower was gradually replaced by strong men. This is understandable, collection is dangerous, and stronger people are required to participate.
But no one noticed that these are the loudest complaints from the city lord. These young and strong people think that they will live better after leaving the city. Even if there is no condition for the temptation of nobles, they are young and strong, relying on There is always a way out if you work hard.
So, they split up, although they didn't say it explicitly, but tacitly, finally, one day a week later, Ji Jin led them to a remote and remote oasis, the storm swept behind them and buried them After reading their footprints, Ji-jin ordered everyone to rest in the oasis.
"Lu En, Li Er, Zhao Mingyi, you come with me." The three seemed to have expected it, but some of the more sensitive people noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Ji Zhen patted the three of them on the shoulders and said, "I know, the three of you are the most capable in the team, and you are also the ones who want to go out for a while, now I'll give you a chance, follow me! I'll take you Cross this desert and go to the big city to make a living. But you have to listen to me! Got it?"
Li Er turned his head, looked at the footprints buried in the sand, and seemed to understand something. Then he looked at the other two, both of whom showed ambition in each other's eyes.
"Okay! We're done!"
The three strongest men in the team took up their weapons. The bright spears reflected the cold light. They escorted Jizhen and walked towards the collection team of 18 people. In terms of force, they had the advantage with the sharpest weapons. .
"It was very windy just now!" Ji Zhen sat on the roots of an unknown tree, and said without head and tail: "With such a strong wind, we are afraid that we will not be able to tell the way back."
"With you here, how can I not find a way back?" There are always some people who don't look at the atmosphere, but Ji Zhen is very satisfied with his succession.
"Yeah! But without me? I've been to death, are you trapped here!"
The voice fell, the human voice was noisy, and the words carried these panics.
dong dong dong! The spear hit the ground hard, and Li Er shouted, "Silence!"
The uniform movements of the three stunned everyone, while Ji Jin patted his **** and stood up.
"Follow me! Go to the city across the desert, or stay and find a way to return. We are all the strongest people in the city. I think you should know how to choose."
As soon as Ji Zhen said this~www.NovelMTL.com~, someone stepped forward excitedly: "You! You traitor! The city owner is so kind to you, he gave you food and drink, did he feed the dog? "
puff!
Ji Zhen waved his hand: "Drag down."
The man who stepped forward to argue widened his eyes, looking at the long spear poked in his stomach, his eyes were full of fear.
"The legs are on your own body, we can walk if we want, this guy obviously doesn't understand this, so we don't need these legs!
Li Er! "
"exist!"
"Go and saw his legs for me!"
"Yes!"
Ji Zhen glanced at the remaining seventeen people, and no one dared to look at him.
