Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"I told you, we don't need it."

In a residential building, a group of residents looked solemn, and many residents were shouting. Recently, people from the National Production Department always come to sell some small machines that can easily produce some daily necessities.

You only need to buy some raw materials and then follow the steps to manufacture them. Indeed, many commodities on the market are very mobile now, and some companies also very much hope that people will join in small family-style workshop production.

As long as the goods are manufactured, there is no need to worry about not having any sales, but many people are still very disgusted. After all, many people now have good wages, and more people need entertainment after work instead of continuing to make money. Work.

The current situation is a burden for many residents, one woman said.

"I've already said that we don't need such small machinery, even if it's free. Can you please go back?"

The faces of several people in the production department were ashen. Their superiors had already put down tasks. Each of them must create a family-style workshop every day.

"Madam, would you please think about it?"

The woman couldn't bear it anymore and closed the door directly. Others also started talking. Several people from the production department were still working hard with small machines and said that as long as they can enter production in the long term, there will be very high returns and benefits. There is no shortage of channels at all.

Many people were closed. At this time, an old man living alone saw the difficulties of several people.

"I'm a little slow, is that okay?"

Several people hurried over and started arguing because they had not completed the task today. If they could not complete the task, they would be in trouble when they went back. Some people had a backlog of tasks for more than ten days.

At this time, several people discussed, and finally one of them took out a production machine and signed a contract with the old man.

This situation has gotten worse. In just one month, many people can no longer bear this harassment. Many people have even begun to criticize the Ministry of Production. They ignore labor laws and want to force jobs to the people.

At this time, in a school next to a residential building, the principal looked shocked, and people from the Ministry of Education and Production Department came.

"This will put us in a very difficult position. Children are tired from studying every day. Do you, as adults, think it is reasonable to let them participate in production?"

The principal was a little angry, and some teachers also felt it was outrageous, someone from the Ministry of Education said.

"This not only helps students add some social practice early, but it is also helpful for some science courses."

The person from the production department said immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Principal, there are not many opportunities like this."

The principal couldn't hold it in any longer and roared angrily.

"How does such productive machinery help education? You want to turn students into cheap workers. I will never allow such a thing."

Faced with the principal’s attitude, a person from the Ministry of Education said.

"Mr. Principal, you have been fired. The Education Committee will appoint a new principal tomorrow."

"What you are doing is illegal. What you are doing is simply buying and selling by force."

The principal looked at the reporters outside who had been stopped by the PLC. He rushed over and complained to the reporters. However, the reporters ignored them and left with the PLC.

There are basically criticisms on the Internet about the recent actions of the production department. A large number of small production equipment and some deregulated raw materials have appeared in many stores.

This is obviously to turn everyone into workers, and many people have begun to criticize Tommy. However, these voices have gradually decreased recently, and many people who have become family factories have begun to praise this system.

At this time, several men were sitting in the tavern and discussing, one of them said.

"This plan is simply outrageous. We currently do not have such a large demand for daily necessities, but it requires us to manufacture a large amount of daily necessities."

"Yeah, is the president crazy?"

A thin man said helplessly.

"I got two machines. According to the contract, I have to start making things after work every day, otherwise I will be fined and even my state welfare benefits will be reduced."

Voices of dissatisfaction filled the society, but many people still supported Tommy's approach. Indeed, after many families became home-based factories, their incomes increased every day, and some families even planned to buy houses in good locations.

Because many houses have plummeted, with prices falling by nearly half. Everyone knows that this is a benefit provided by the president to everyone, and some companies are indeed short of goods.

It's not that the company's productivity is not good, but that the company can't recruit more people, and the company has never been able to obtain some key licenses in terms of production technology, and even the supply of raw materials has begun to have problems.

Now many companies have realized that Tommy wants all the people to participate in such a manufacturing army. Now there are no slums in the entire country. There are only those who were too poor to eat in the past, holding small manufacturing machines. At the end of each day's work, there is still work to be done.

The prices of some items have even increased a lot because manufacturing capacity has been reduced. These shares will be distributed to ordinary people, but many people do not realize that they will be deeply tied to this family-style factory.

"Is that too much, honey?"

Selena looks at some of the current comments on the Internet and always feels that such a system has pros and cons. It can indeed help many people increase their income, but at the same time it will leave many people with little time for entertainment and rest every day.

"There's nothing I can do about it, dear. In the past, everyone was complaining about welfare benefits and other issues, but now the welfare benefits have gotten better. I even dispersed the production shares belonging to some companies, but there are still people who dislike this approach. ."

Selina laughed, and he saw that there were still more people supporting her, and then said.

"Indeed, dear, the situation at the bottom has changed now. Even many people on the beach have moved to the city. They no longer have to endure the cold. Many people have jobs."

Although plans like Tommy's have affected some people's lives, Selina feels that it is still a good thing.

"You don't need to see these people's complaints, because humans are such creatures. They have to complain when they are poor and they have to complain when they are rich."

Serena laughed.

"You are right, dear, so that those who were poor in the past will never have to go back to the poverty era of the past."

Selina asked as Tommy hummed.

“Why not get the Stekas involved in the production?

Tommy laughed.

"Their hands and feet have a greater use."

Tommy is ready to connect everything. Steka can not only become a soldier, but also be able to transport things when war breaks out and the world is devastated and radioactive. This is what Tommy plans to let them complete. link.

So now many Stekars have joined the transportation industry. Although some humans complained that their jobs were taken away, they turned around and went to other industries with higher wages.

Selina looked at Tommy happily. Although there was still something wrong, Tommy's approach was indeed correct, because you only need to look at the current domestic situation to know that the economy is developing rapidly and people's living standards have improved. A very big improvement.

The current situation has made many people busy from morning to night, and the workload has increased, but their income has increased so much that many people don't have much complaints.

"Get ready to eat, dear."

Selina started taking out the cutlery, and Tommy looked at the time. It was almost 7 p.m.

After the evening news started, Selina found it strange because there was no news about these recent family-owned factories, but instead there was a lot of news about Stikas, as well as some ordinary people's consumer lives and so on.

"Okay, let's eat."

Tommy said after the chef brought the dinner and the two drank a toast.

After eating, Tommy went to the conference room. At this time, the person in charge of the news company was waiting in the conference room with a solemn face. After Tommy entered, they all stood up. Tommy sat down directly, and just when they were about to sit down. , Tommy laughed.

"Everyone, stand and listen to me."

For a while, many people in charge had serious expressions on their faces, because according to rumors, Tommy asked people to stand because he had something important to announce. If he couldn't accept it, no one would sit here and would be kicked out.

"I just hope that you can report some positive things in the future and not be ignorant of your blessings."

Tommy said, and all the people in charge felt tremendous pressure.

"I'm just here to give you a reminder. You have reported some things about our production department. I don't know what you think. It can increase the income of many people by thousands of dollars every month. How can you do it in your company?" In the report, it became cheap? Tell me, what is our national average salary now?"

A person in charge replied.

"Only about 1500D."

Tommy asked with a satisfied nod.

"Then how can adding 1000D be a cheap job?"

Tommy said as he took out a list, and at this time the person in charge of WIA started reading it.

"Please ask the people we called to come with us. You may be involved in serious illegal cases."

As soon as Tommy said this, some of the people in charge turned pale.

Soon some of the people in charge were taken away, and there were still more than 30 people in charge in the conference room. Tommy smiled and lit a cigarette, and then raised his feet on the table.

"One thing I need you to know clearly is that there is a difference between absolute freedom and relative freedom. I also hope that you can understand in the future that this country is completing its new life."

Each person in charge nodded. At this time, Tommy saw that one person in charge's legs were weak and he almost fell on the chair. Tommy laughed.

"Don't be so nervous, just relax. Okay, everyone, sit down."

The people in charge then sat down.

"Some stimulating reports can indeed bring you huge company benefits, but if there is another time, you will never need to go back to work in the future."

After Tommy finished speaking, he flicked the ashes from his cigarette, and all the people in charge lowered their heads and nodded.

"This is not a warning, this is the last time."

After Tommy got up, the people in charge all wanted to get up, Tommy said with a smile.

"The people from the relevant departments will talk to you next. If you don't want to, you can get up and leave."

Tommy said, and soon came to another room. The people in charge who were brought here were trembling. Tommy looked at one of the people in charge and said.

"How did your company write this report? I just want to turn everyone into cheap workers. In the past, they were squeezed by capital, but now they are squeezed by the country?"

"Mr. President, we will correct it when we go back."

Tommy laughed.

"No need, this country has entered a new era. Your company will have no meaning in the future."

After Tommy finished speaking, the person in charge looked at him in horror, and was then taken away directly. Waiting at the door were people from the Special Investigation Bureau, and Shakira took over the person in charge.

"People arrested by the Special Investigations Bureau do not need any trial."

The people in charge stood up one after another and kept begging for mercy. Tommy looked at their serious expressions and then smiled.

"Okay, give everyone a chance. Go back to the conference room and sit down. Next time I won't talk to you. People from the Special Investigation Bureau will come."

Each person in charge hurriedly stood up and left in fear, and Shakira came over with a solemn expression.

"Are you serious, Mr. President?"

Tommy laughed.

"Ms. Shakira, I always mean it."

Shakira didn't understand why Tommy was so determined. After all, the United States is much better than it was in the past. Shakira also learned a lot about it when she came here.

"There's nothing we can do about it, Miss Shakira. There are many things that can't be messed up without intervention. You know, right, about the future war."

Shakira nodded. Ashe had told them that Steka's top management would have a protracted war in the future.

"I just made enough preparations for this war in advance. If we wait until the war starts to prepare, we will be too late."

Shakira hummed, and Tommy continued to return to the large conference room. At this time, the responsible persons and the ministers of various departments were actively discussing some future matters. Tommy listened for a while and then left.

The faces of everyone in the conference room darkened, and Susan also understood. She trembled and looked at the crying male person in charge in front of her.

Everyone present realized that the United States was beginning to transform into an empire, and there was only one person in this empire who could decide everything, now President Tommy.

"Everyone, by the way, I forgot to mention something."

Tommy turned back. A group of people looked horrified. Tommy glanced around and smiled.

"This country does not need useless people. I hope you will clearly remember this. Once they are useless, then they have no value in existence."

Tommy's words shocked everyone present. Susan raised her head helplessly. She felt that an era had ended, an era with a little freedom. (End of chapter)
