Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

April 11, 2222

Just after 8 o'clock in the morning, the Golden Street on the middle floor was already crowded with a large number of businessmen. A long queue formed outside the gate of Section 7 headquarters, extending into the hall.

Many businessmen came to pay back taxes, and most of them were medical-related businessmen. As the review of the business department continued to deepen, many problems began to be exposed bit by bit, and chaos in the medical industry began. .

After that, Section 7 introduced a policy to automatically pay taxes. In just one week, many businessmen couldn't sit still and came to pay some taxes on their own initiative. This policy is time-limited. In May Before the 1st, if those who still refused to pay taxes were discovered, they would not only be fined, but also be suspended for rectification. Section 1 has issued this suspension of business and rectification to more than 3,000 medical-related individuals or companies in the city. order document.

Nowadays, there is a lot of criticism in the city. The medical industry has never stopped having problems from the past to the present. In the eyes of many people, the current medical care is much more expensive than in the past. Since the reform of the medical industry carried out by Freya, the medical industry has become more and more expensive. Prices have skyrocketed over the years. The price of a single medical treatment is not high and it is cheaper than in the past, but the price of overall medical treatment is higher than in the past.

In the past, it might only cost more than ten yuan to treat an ordinary severe cold, but now it costs hundreds of yuan. This is a very obvious change. Although the 4th Department has issued a report, the highly contagious epidemic has It has evolved countless times and has stronger drug resistance. In addition, because human immunity is already very low today, most of the facilities in the city are too complete, transportation is developed, and humans who lack exercise have poor immunity. forward.

The most obvious thing is that the normal body temperature of humans today is only about 36 degrees. Most body temperatures are low, only a little over 35 degrees. According to past and long-term data research, every time the human body temperature drops by 0.4 degrees, the human immune system It will be weaker. This has a lot to do with today's fast-paced and convenient life. Everyone no longer exercises.

These data are true and reliable when compared between ordinary people and members of the practice department. Nowadays, the body temperature of most members of the practice department is between 37 and 37.6. They are in better health, healthier and less susceptible to illness than ordinary people. Get ill.

However, there are still constant scoldings in the city, because tax evasion, drug fraud, deliberate prolongation of drug effects, reduction of drug dosage, use of cheap but harmful raw materials to make the same drug, and inter-departmental disputes between major hospitals have indeed occurred in the medical industry. The so-called tacit understanding is that when a patient is halfway through treatment, doctors from some hospitals will recommend that the hospital be transferred to another hospital to continue treatment. They always say that the hospital to which they are transferred has better comprehensive treatment technology for this disease. Some patients are even transferred six or seven times for no reason. The cost of each hospital transfer is not cheap, and many examinations require another visit.

Even for diseases that could be cured by low-level medical facilities, patients are asked to go to a higher-level medical facility for treatment on the grounds that they are difficult to treat, and the cost naturally goes up.

Many people in the city are accusing the medical department of poor supervision. A small number of people feel that the grading system of medical facilities promoted by Freya has led to such chaos, and the medical merchants have even blamed Freya. , saying that some of them were carried out in accordance with the medical system promoted by Freya, and the loopholes in it were exploited by some people with ulterior motives.

This time, the tax compensation policy jointly implemented by Section 1, Section 4, Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 is something that makes most people feel extremely disgusting. As long as these businessmen pay taxes voluntarily, You can be exempted from criminal penalties and only be subject to a certain amount of tax penalties. This is something that many people cannot bear. Even if Congress has announced that all the back taxes will be returned to the 120 districts as a tax within the region. Medical subsidies are used, but there is still a lot of criticism.

The businessmen queuing up were carrying money boxes, which contained taxes that needed to be paid back, as well as some financial storage within the company. After the businessmen paid back the taxes and submitted their own company's internal data, the business department An on-site review will be carried out in the near future to determine whether these data correspond to the actual situation within the company. As long as the error does not exceed a certain value, businessmen can be exempted from criminal penalties. Once it exceeds a certain value, businessmen will not only have to accept criminal penalties but also pay fines. .

Many people's faces were relaxed at this time, and some businessmen were still talking and laughing. This time the businessmen collectively violated economic laws on a large scale, but in the end the business department proposed several policies and facilitated Some legal changes.

Businessmen will not feel sorry for such a small amount of tax, because in fact, the previously leaked tax has already been transformed into a part of the legal industry through capital. As the industry expands, the operating profits will naturally be greater.

Located on the 5th floor of Section 7 Headquarters, in the Affairs Department, Jin Mian is looking at the information submitted by the directors, while Vivian is leading a group of directors to process some internal information submitted by businessmen. Review.

Most of the internal documents submitted by the businessmen did not have many problems in the initial review and passed easily. The calculation of the tax repayment amount was also completely correct.

Section 7 has been extremely busy this week. It is normal to work until 1 a.m. every night. If you want to calm down the voices of doubt, criticism and abuse as soon as possible, you must quickly deal with the problems that have arisen. In such a busy season, many people can only pull some people from the three departments to help. The large-scale joint review of several departments only lasted a short week, and the current amount of back taxes has reached as high as 3.9 billion.

Businessmen are always the most dishonest group. In recent years, through loopholes in laws and procedures, many people have been evading taxes. This amount has become very difficult to investigate. Jin Mn has made up his mind. The next step is It is to directly promote electronic cash. Only electronic cash can completely solve the problem of tax omissions.

Taxes are calculated directly based on everyone's monthly personal income. Once wages are paid or profits are directly deducted, some floating tax rates can also be calculated more clearly. And even if the tax rate is lowered or raised later, just refund more or compensate less. It will be much easier than the current need to review every month.

This electronic cash system has been sleeping in Jin Mian's mind for twenty years. When he was in college, Jin Mian would often go to Principal Jean to discuss the necessity of electronic cash, and today's electronic cash holdings The largest one is the Hillman family, with more than 30%, almost exceeding the 2% defined by law. The total electronic cash in the city accounts for about 25% of the city's total money.

If you want to promote electronic cash, the biggest obstacle is that most people are unwilling to pay taxes. This is the reason why Jin Mn has not dared to implement it. Once implemented, there will be big riots in the city.

"Hurry up, why are you so dazed?"

Vivian walked to Jin Mian's side, directly brought up another light and shadow screen, and immediately began to sign. These reviewed documents needed to be signed by the section chief or secretary, and then sent back to the several departments conducting joint on-site reviews.

Section 6 first keeps records, Section 1 is responsible for investigating qualifications, Section 4 is responsible for investigating the quality of the company's products, Section 7 is responsible for comparing the prices of products after they are produced and sold out of the warehouse, and Section 8 will review whether there are any violations during the entire process. , Section 9 will review the company's business activities in recent years, and the final direction of the business chain, from terminal to end, and Section 6 will finally record the process completely.

The entire review process was specified by several section chiefs in just over ten days, and was detailed to every part. It is now much more efficient.

Section 5 did not participate in the review this time. Now Section 5 has to preside over the examination of the Acting Section. This year, the number of examinations for the Acting Section suddenly increased sharply. 11,948 people participated in the examination. Section 5 is almost overwhelmed. Since then, nearly 20,000 people from all over the country have been sent to the headquarters to take charge of the examination.

The order in most places on the street can only be maintained by removing people from Section 3. Coupled with the orchard plan in the barrier area, Section 3 is now overwhelmed. The second batch of 5,000 people participating in the plan are also being trained in the agricultural base.

Section 2 is still responsible for continuing the investigation with Section 5 of the murder case at the beginning of the year. Section 11 seems to be the only one free. Now that a new prison is under construction, Section 11 has basically not had a holiday for a long time.

Section 10, on the other hand, continues to test new technologies and is completely unable to take into account any problems in the city. Today's administrative section is overloaded and needs to deal with some small actions that council members will engage in from time to time. Council members no longer act like The executive department, which was able to achieve integrated unified management, began to split into more and more different factions, especially at the bottom.

Although the eight major associations still have strong control, it is only limited to the middle and upper levels. Many MPs at the bottom have also completed the change of office in February this year. The new batch of MPs have started some big actions as soon as they came up. The relationship with the congressmen has become increasingly tense, and the scene in the Congress hall has begun to change. From the beginning, it was a serious debate, to now, every meeting is like a battlefield filled with smoke.

Jin Mn glanced at the time, stood up, walked to the window and opened it. He was about to be suffocated by such an unusually heavy atmosphere.

Today's cities are like an inflated balloon. No one knows what to do. With the development of science and technology, the class faults are getting wider and wider. The economy has always been bad. There are too many problems. The reason is that now there is a very obvious antagonistic relationship between the middle level and the bottom level.

Some small and successful businessmen at the bottom are called nouveau riche because the district offices in the area have provided them with a lot of conveniences. They happened to make a fortune by snatching away some industries from the middle class at this time. , these people behave in a very high-profile manner, and often go to the upper Qinglong Street to spend money. Their behavior seems to be uneducated. In addition, there are some parliamentarians who support these people, so many of these people are now Today's situation makes many middle- and upper-class people very disgusted.

This situation has begun again. It is the same as when the city was founded in the past. Jin Mang can no longer bear it. He really wants to introduce the electronic cash policy as soon as possible, and at least conduct experiments in three relatively stable areas. , once the tax situation and the chaos in the region are rectified, electronic cash can be quickly implemented.

Capitalists who want to control some things through some means will be extremely seriously hindered. It is a pity that several other section chiefs in the business department do not agree with Jin Mn’s approach. Jin Mn is now working every day. Worry about this.

Jin Mn also went to talk to Locke many times, but Locke said every time that it was not the time. In fact, Jin Mn knew that it was not that it was not the time, but that there would be huge riots in the city. There are a lot of problems with electronic cash, but if it is not carried out now, when will it happen? On the contrary, Jinmangan feels that now is a very good time.

The construction of Angus's house has been steadily progressing, and everything is a little more stable now.

"Don't think about this, we can't do it."

Vivian seemed to be aware of what Jin Mn was thinking and reminded him. Jin Mn laughed helplessly.

"I also know the difficulties, but if we don't do this, the city's economic situation will not be very good."

Vivian naturally understands what Jin Mn is talking about. Section 9 has given a clear direction of the urban economy in recent years, as well as some problems that have arisen in the process of economic variables.

Most people who are unwilling to pay taxes have never thought about what taxes are. When enterprises in some regions have problems, taxes can be used to rescue the regional pillar enterprises. As long as the enterprises can survive the difficulties, unemployment in the region will be eliminated. The population will decrease, and only then can all aspects of the economy be stimulated. This is the biggest role of taxation.

But many people are unwilling to pay hundreds of dollars in taxes every year. Without electronic money, it would be impossible to audit so many people through audits. Although individual tax audits have been carried out every year in recent years, they are only limited to those who One who deposits money in a bank.

For those who are unwilling to pay taxes, the few hundred dollars in their hands will only end up in the pockets of businessmen, while the businessmen enjoy the benefits brought by this money, and this money has already been consumed. The flow of this money can only go to the hands of businessmen who control larger capital. In the end, after layers of profit harvesting, the original 100 yuan tax may be exploited at the top, leaving less than 100 yuan. bucks.

The tax revenue will eventually shrink by 100 times in the hands of those who do not pay taxes. This is a very scary number. If this 100 yuan enters the pocket of Congress from the beginning, and 60% of it is used within the return area, it will be The tax paid equals 100 yuan and returns 60 yuan. Not only does this money not shrink, it can also be saved to subsidize some water, electricity and medical care in the region, as well as provide special subsidies for education in the region to improve the quality of education, and When shops and businesses in the region were unable to support themselves, they could rely on regional subsidies to survive the cold winter. However, in the end, only 0.6 cents was left for 100 yuan of money returned to the region.

Hu Youran, an economist in the city, has already made such a statement, which is even more comprehensive and detailed than that of the 9th subject, but no one listened to him, and everyone thought it was a joke.

The congressmen have listened to these remarks to some extent and are making some efforts to let those who are unwilling to pay taxes take the initiative to pay taxes. However, such efforts are of little avail and no one is willing to spend their own money.

Taxation is the root problem that has led to the continued deterioration of the economy. To solve the root problem, only electronic cash can stabilize taxes and make the economy of Brilliant City more solid. But not everyone understands this truth. Perhaps most people Everyone understands it, but no one wants to do it. This is terrible.

In recent years, workers in agricultural bases in the east have paid more taxes, because personal taxes are directly deducted from wages. Although many people complain, there is nothing they can do. The same goes for the personal income taxes of members of the executive branch. Relatively stable.

In recent years, the most taxed companies have been all kinds of businesses, while the taxes paid by individuals and private individuals have been very small.

Everything in front of him made Jin Mangan extremely anxious. This is how the economy declined through layers of exploitation, because the prices in the city were stable. The consultations and coordination between various departments and councilors have been very good. Over the years, the The price law has been improved to the point where there are as many as 5,000 articles, so it is very difficult to manipulate prices.

"What should I do!"

What happened at Frye Mental Hospital last month shocked everyone who knew about it. Now Section 7 has opened a special tax fund for the operation and maintenance of Frye Mental Hospital.

Frye did not turn the hospital into a place of profit, because most of the mentally ill were unable to pay the high costs of treatment approved by the hospital.

"You have to slow down this matter first. Don't think about Jin Mn. If you continue to think about it, you will become desperate!"

Vivian said, turned around and ran towards a group of directors. Jin Mian sat back on his desk and looked at a tax payment document from a medical company. Currently, it is difficult for the medical industry to lower prices. Unless there are new medical technologies.

"I hope that Huashen guy can succeed!"

9:01 am

Huashen is in Frye Mental Hospital, helping Frye to reinforce and decorate the hospital. A lot of materials from many sources are piled up. In just a short period of time, there are 11 more patients here. Frye now has 11 more patients every day. Although he felt a little more relaxed, there was no smile on his face.

"Take a rest and let me do it."

Huashen, who was mixing the coagulants at this time, smiled and shook his head. His hands were still moving, but at this time Huashen looked at Frye with a slightly relaxed expression.

"I have an idea to further strengthen light and shadow medicine."

Frye hummed, walked over and rolled up his sleeves.

"Create a machine that can identify harmful substances, harmful bacteria, and harmful viruses in the human body. Through the light that can pass through the body, the place where the light reaches is the location of these pathogenic sources, and then through the materialization of light and shadow, it can instantly cut and kill these harmful substances. Harmful substances in the human body are like performing an operation on a cold patient. The purpose of the operation is to kill all the viruses that cause colds in his body."

Frye froze on the spot and swallowed.

"Is it possible?"

After thinking for a while, Huashen put down the materials in his hand, sat on the flower bed next to the hospital wall, nodded, but then shook his head.

"It is difficult to achieve at present. After all, the ability of viruses to replicate and divide can produce tens of millions of viruses in the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with drugs to suppress the virus, and then kill a large number of viruses through physical means, and finally the remaining The virus is killed by the human immune system. The combination of the two, as long as the treatment is appropriate and the virus is not allowed to divide and replicate in large numbers, a large number of viruses can be directly killed by physical means, so that the human immune system can eliminate them more quickly. Viruses, even for some carriers of infectious diseases, can kill most of the viruses in the body that have not yet broken out."

Frye nodded.

"It is indeed a good idea, but it seems unrealistic to achieve this level."

"So AI technology is needed to monitor and identify viruses, just like the current light and shadow medical equipment can easily check various values ​​of a person's body. It needs to be further strengthened. After I finish here, I will go to Department 10. "

Frye hummed. He also knew that he alone had no idea how long it would take to repair the hospital. Tang Rao and Jean came over every night to help, and now more than 1,000 wards have been repaired.

"Actually, I've been thinking about something Huashen!"

"you say!"

Huashen looked at Frye in front of him. He had not completely collapsed because of what happened last month, and his paranoia had not returned.

"Am I suffering from paranoia? My body language and thinking are normal, and paranoia may only appear under extreme depression and suffering, but I always feel that I don't have that experience. I "

"Don't think about it anymore Fry, this matter can only be solved slowly."

Huashen said and looked at the courtyard wall in the distance. There was still no one visiting here. Now the administrative department has gradually called some of the family members of the patients here. Only two family members of the deceased came to claim the ashes. Some people didn't come.

Nowadays, the problems of Frye Mental Hospital can only be solved bit by bit. Fortunately, there is a natural barrier here. No one wants to visit, and no one will come in, because many people have long forgotten this place.

No one talks about right or wrong in this matter, nor does anyone talk about guilt or innocence. The problem that should be borne by the whole society finally falls on Frye alone.

"Go on Fry!"

Huashen stood up and walked to the workbench. At this time, Huashen thought of Archimi, because Archimi also had the same idea as him, using nanorobots to clean viruses in the human body and physically kill those who use them. Viruses and bacteria that make people sick can even repair damaged cells in the body.

This sounds unbelievable to ordinary people, but Huashen knows that nano medical technology can indeed be achieved, but the current economic situation in cities does not allow it, and the cost of nano is too high.

At this time, a scream came, and Frye hurriedly turned around and ran towards the entrance of the hospital building. Hua Shen smiled helplessly and glanced at some of the land in front of him that had been leveled, and new crops had been planted in some places. Huashen also thought that he would come over at least once a month to have a look. He could not let such a problem happen again.

9:29 am

The wind and sand swept through a small town that had been renovated. The streets of the town were dotted with metal houses. Workers were huddled in the houses. It was very difficult to work in such a bad wind and sand.

"Can it really be revived?"

At this time, in a metal room, a worker was curled up on the bed. Although he was sleepy, he couldn't sleep. Now they can only work in the dark night when the wind and sand are less. Only at this time can they work quickly and efficiently. Come on, it has been more than three months since the land reclamation was started, but what many workers see is that people from Section 12 are collecting data every day, and the ecosystem that was supposed to be established is still failing.

Those mechanically produced films are difficult to stabilize in such a desolate environment and are always destroyed by wind and sand. The situation is far worse than everyone imagined. In addition, criminals suddenly raided the town before. Although Some were shot dead by people from Section 3, but the miserable condition of those guys shocked every worker here.

It was as if this world was not the same world as the one they lived in. Those criminals just came here for a little food. Some had been taken back to the city, and some were killed during the raid.

The entire pioneer plan is difficult to realize in the eyes of many workers because it always fails. Many of the previously reclaimed lands are about to return to their original state after a period of time. A large amount of sand has been deposited in the excavated places. Talking about the land of recovery, many people have begun to lose patience and want to go back to the city, but the rhetoric of the 12 subjects is the same every day. It is still in the experimental stage. As long as it succeeds, everything will be fine.

There is a large amount of liquid food piled up in the corner of the room. This food is what the workers eat every day. At first, they could light a fire to cook and eat some daily food, but now they only have this kind of liquid food with a very bad taste every day, and Many workers noticed that the warning range of Section 3 was originally very large, but now it has been narrowed down, and people from Section 12 only came once every few days.

Disappointment permeated the work shed. Some people applied to go back, but were told by Section 12 that they were not in the contracting plan. They had to wait until there was a result before they could go back.

"What on earth are we doing here?"

A worker who seemed to have just woken up asked. At this time, many people in the work shed woke up. Everyone looked at each other blankly, and in their ears they could hear the crackling sound of the gravel in the wind hitting the surface of the metal house.

"Can things really be grown in a place like this? Let alone recovery, it's already a miracle that it can survive here."

One worker couldn't bear it anymore and his voice was trembling. He really wanted to go back instead of wasting time here. This was the sentiment of many workers at this moment.
