Warlords: Rise of the System

When the old man heard this, he seemed to be ignited. He was instantly full of energy and spoke excitedly.

"In my life, I have experienced countless ups and downs, but to be honest, I have never lived a few days of peace and stability!

However, since the arrival of the National Salvation Army, I have learned what a good life is. "

Yang Yuanshan smiled and asked gently, "Old man, please don't be anxious, speak slowly.

Could you please tell us in detail how the National Salvation Army made your life better after its arrival?"

The old man took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then spoke slowly.

“Before the National Salvation Army came, no matter which warlord ruled this land, we ordinary people would always be the objects of exploitation and oppression!

Especially those soldiers, as soon as we see them, we ordinary people have to stay away from them immediately for fear of getting into trouble.

Especially some of the soldiers are lawless!

They come to our place, eat and take things, and never think of paying a penny.

If we dare to complain, if we are lucky, we will just be scolded by them.

But if you accidentally anger them, not only will all your goods be snatched away, but your entire stall may even be overturned!

In addition to these troublesome soldiers, there are also all kinds of monsters and demons that pop up from time to time.

Blackmailing people like us who run small businesses simply leaves us no way to survive!

It is no exaggeration to say that those of us who run small businesses for a living live in fear and trepidation all day long!

No one knows when you might accidentally offend someone.

Moreover, those warlords impose very heavy taxes on our business!

We are busy from morning till night and are exhausted, but in the end we can just barely fill our stomachs and are lucky enough not to starve or freeze.

If we are lucky enough to encounter a warlord rule that is tolerable, we can at least save a little extra money.

But if we are unlucky enough to meet a ferocious and brutal warlord, then we will lose everything and our work will be in vain. It will be a pure loss-making business!

However, the situation is very different now!

Ever since the arrival of the National Salvation Army, the lives of us ordinary people have undergone tremendous changes!

Take small business owners like us who don’t even have a fixed stall, for example. No one comes to collect even a penny of tax from us.

Looking at those businessmen who have fixed stores, I heard that the amount of tax they have to pay is so low that it is almost negligible.

Compared with the money you earn through hard work, this little tax is really a drop in the bucket!

The most crucial point is that since the National Salvation Army arrived here, it has launched an unprecedented large-scale rescue operation for all the people in the area under its jurisdiction.

Not only does the National Salvation Army ensure that everyone is free from hunger, but on this basis, it also vigorously promotes the development of the people's livelihood economy.

As long as those who are not afraid of hardships and are willing to work hard, they can find a job that suits them and earn wages smoothly.

When people no longer suffer from hunger and have a certain amount of money at their disposal, they naturally become willing to consume.

Such changes are undoubtedly a great thing for people like us who make a living in business.

Take this small stall I run as an example.

Before the arrival of the National Salvation Army, on market days, I could only sell a few pots of pan-fried buns.

However, things are very different nowadays. Even if we prepare more than a dozen pots of buns, they are often in short supply and cannot meet the strong purchasing demands of customers at all!"

As the old man was talking, more and more diners came here to taste the pan-fried dumplings.

The few tables, which were originally not full, were soon filled up, and many customers, who had no seats available, simply chose to buy the buns to take away.

As more and more people arrived, the old man who had been able to chat with a few warlords suddenly became busy.

He turned away in a hurry and began to deal with the matters at hand.

At this time, Chen Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and said, "This National Salvation Army really treats the people well."

Jin Jianhua, who was standing by, heard this and quickly took over the conversation, "Of course not! The National Salvation Army is very wealthy, and we are nothing compared to them.

The ransom that the National Salvation Army demanded from the expatriates of those powerful countries after detaining them amounted to more than ten billion silver dollars!

I also heard that there is a mysterious group behind the National Salvation Army that provides huge funding continuously.

So today's National Salvation Army can be said to be extremely wealthy!

With such strong financial support, the National Salvation Army will naturally not take the small amount of money in the hands of ordinary people seriously. "

However, Yang Yuanshan did not agree with Jin Jianhua's point of view. He shook his head and retorted, "You can't say that.

I think this just shows that the National Salvation Army cares about the people and only wants to make sure that the people can live a stable and happy life.

That’s why we are willing to invest a lot of money in various livelihood and economic construction projects.”

Chen Wei smiled and nodded, and said with deep feeling, "Yes, it can be seen from this incident.

The National Salvation Army truly focused on seeking benefits for the people.

They work tirelessly and fear no danger, striving to improve people’s living conditions.”

At this moment, people at the next table were having a lively conversation, and the content of the conversation attracted the attention of Chen Wei and others.

I saw a middle-aged man saying to another man in his 40s sitting at the same table with envy.

"Brother, you are enjoying a peaceful life now!

Look at the five boys in your family, four of them have joined the National Salvation Army and are serving in the army!

With the money your four children send back to you every month, I'm afraid you will soon become a wealthy man!"

The man in his 40s who was praised quickly waved his hands, but he could not hide the smug smile on his face.

"Brother, please don't say that, it's not as exaggerated as you say!

The main reason is that my eldest son worked hard and became a group leader, so he sent relatively more money home.

But then again, ever since the National Salvation Army came here, our life has indeed become more and more comfortable!

Back then, even during festivals, it was difficult for us to have a bite of delicious white flour steamed buns, let alone eat meat.

But things are different now, thanks to those little rascals of mine who send back the money on time every month.

Now even if I have to eat meat for every meal of the day, it won’t be a problem at all!”

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but turn around and ask the man, "Brother, how much money do your four children send back to you every month?
