Chapter 65: Heaven and Hell

In fact, what is the use of this token, Li Wei has not mentioned it to Li Xiuling in detail at all. Just a mouthful of it when giving her this token.

"If you are short of money, you will take this token to the bank to get it! If you are bullied, you will take this token to the local government to find the biggest official to support you!"

For the people of Zhuangli, few people know what this token represents. That is, those who have been outside know that there are so many tokens of ox forks in the village.

However, this thing must not be used in the village, so what does it matter if you know it? What's more, it is said that no one has seen this thing since it was owned, let alone used it.

In Li Xiuling's eyes, this is just a certificate representing the identity of her younger brother Li Wei's prince! As for the question of money, she really wants to find a bank to try, but she didn't bring a penny with her when she came out this time!

"Xiuling, look over there, do you see the tallest building? Our company is in that building. It is the number one high-rise building in the East China Sea and even in the world, more than 200 meters high!"

"More than two hundred meters?"

Li Xiuling's eyes widened in surprise, trying to see clearly the high-rise building that could only be vaguely seen.

In other words, as an international city, Donghai is the most famous of Haigang, the first large-scale steel mill in the Federation, in addition to the headquarters and related agencies of the United Nations, the embassies and consulates of various countries, the headquarters and branches of the world's top 500 companies, and the most famous is Haigang, the first large-scale steel plant in the Federation!

It is a giant steel enterprise with a history of more than 800 years, and the name of the world's first steel plant has never been lost since the day it was built!

Now Haigang covers an area of more than 30,000 acres and has hundreds of thousands of workers, so that the entire Haigang has become a small county!

Ten kindergartens, eight primary schools, six junior high schools, one technical school, three high schools, plus one university - Haigang College, there are so many colleges alone.

Other hospitals, post offices, public security bureaus, banks, restaurants, entertainment venues, and other departments related to people's production and life are also because they have everything, which is no different from ordinary small county towns.

Once upon a time, the existence of Haigang has always been the pride of the East China Sea. It can be said that this is a super business card representing the Federation. So much so that now the thumbnail of Haigang is printed on the back of the 100-yuan federal coin.

For the rise of the Federation, Haigang and Haigang people can be said to have gone forward one after another, through the efforts of dozens of generations, firmly holding the name of the world's largest steel country.

Both in terms of yield and quality, hundreds of years ago. The Federation has always been the first to be the first to do so! And this status has never been surpassed.

But in the same way, the existence of Haigang has also brought another trouble to the East China Sea. Haigang and its supporting enterprises are not the world's first in terms of environmental damage.

For a long time, the East China Sea had a pronoun called "Fog Capital".

Because of the factory's tall chimneys, smoke is emitted 24 hours a day, and if the weather conditions are not conducive to the spread of pollutants, the smoke will quickly envelop the entire East China Sea.

At its worst, the sun could not be seen in the sky over the East China Sea for more than half of the 365 days of the year! The sky was completely obscured by smoke and dust like half of the clouds and mist, and it lasted for a long time.

The severity of air pollution inevitably leads to a series of problems, in addition to the fact that humans are prone to disease. In the countryside around the East China Sea, no crops can be grown at all.

Due to the severe lack of light, almost most crops will rot their roots due to lack of photosynthesis, resulting in reduced yields or even no harvest.

The long-term contamination of groundwater is the most urgent problem, and water is the source of life. If you drink this groundwater that is chemically polluted or has a serious amount of heavy metals for a long time, a series of problems will naturally occur.

Seven generations (each of whom reigned for a period of not necessarily, but not more than 60 years, with the least one reigning for only five years) found out about the problem, and after discovering this problem, they tried their best to disagree with each other in both houses of Parliament, so that the entire federation finally realized the terrible consequences that could lead to environmental pollution.

Since then, the control of environmental pollution has been fixed in the form of government laws for the first time, and it has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, the existence of Haigang is too important, and although the management of Haigang has lasted for hundreds of years, to this day, the smog over the East China Sea still covers the entire sky from time to time.

But compared to before, it is undoubtedly much better now! At least, the current East China Sea has taken off the hat of the fog capital. Coupled with the emergence of various new technologies with rapid development, the results of Haigang's pollution control have become more and more significant.

This year, up to now, the East China Sea has accounted for more than 30 percent of the fine weather! Undoubtedly, this is a great improvement!

And, just this year, the plan to split Haigang and disperse the setting has been submitted to the two houses for review, this giant iron and steel enterprise that was set up by himself and has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs will completely move out of the Oriental metropolis of the East China Sea within three years.

"I'll take you inside when I get back, good guy, there are more than 30 elevators in there alone! It can accommodate more than 100,000 people at the same time!"

At this time, Li Xiuling had already been attracted by the high-rise buildings on both sides of the lane for many months, and they were getting taller and higher. Even though she had seen the metropolis from books and TV, the first time she came here in person, she was still stunned by everything in front of her!

This is the metropolis!

Looking at the high-rise buildings with no end in sight, looking at the crowds of people in a hurry, and the endless sea of cars, Li Xiuling felt from the bottom of her heart for the first time that her younger brother Li Wei's decision might be the right one.

For the unblocking of the closure and the people of the village to start contact with people and things in the outside world, the people in the village are not one or two who oppose it. There were even elders who pointed at the noses of the third master and Li Wei and scolded them for defeating the foundation of their ancestors and not dying well in the future!

Soon, the people of Duozhuang also disagreed with this, but they were used to listening to the opinions of the village chief and the patriarch, so that many of them buried their doubts in their hearts.

The biggest supporters of this event are young people and those who have just returned to the village from the outside world, or who have recently had a family member, and this force represents the majority of the people, helping Li Wei to achieve his goal with ease.

Li Xiuling once had suspicions, most of the people in the village have been living in isolation, and suddenly began to contact the outside society, the people outside, can they adapt?

When you see the world of flowers outside, will you be fascinated by your eyes, so that you will do something that hurts nature and harms Zhuangzi?

After all, no one can guarantee whether a "poor person" who lives in a closed mountain village and has never walked out of the ravines and ravines can still maintain that simple and kind original heart when he comes to a metropolis full of temptations in the outside world!

Even if Li Xiuling boasted that she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and was determined, the first time she saw the high-rise buildings here, and saw those beautiful and fashionable women dressed in colorful clothes, an irrepressible envy and jealousy welled up in her heart.

"If you love her, bring her to the East China Sea, because this is heaven!"

Lu Qian suddenly said this, and suddenly woke up Li Xiuling, who was looking at the outside intently.

"If you don't love her, then bring her to the East China Sea, because this is hell!"

Li Xiuling was stunned! She didn't understand why her mother-in-law would suddenly say such two contradictory words. However, just out of the corner of her eye, the corner of her eye swept through the car window of the people who were in a hurry, whether they were well-dressed, unkempt, anxious, happy, or worried, and suddenly realized something.

This is a line from a foreign TV series more than ten years ago, which tells the story of a foreign couple who came to work and live in the East China Sea. ”

Lu Qian's voice was low, and she looked at the world outside the car window with great feeling, her eyes were deep, and the scene when she first arrived came to her mind came to mind.

There is only a thin line between heaven and hell, and one misstep becomes a thousand hatreds. Every day, countless joys and sorrows, countless loves, hatreds, and hatreds are staged here.

As a cosmopolitan city, Tokai is home to more than 30 million urban residents, about one-third of whom are foreigners from other parts of the world.

They have traveled thousands of miles and hardships to bring this legendary city full of opportunities and gold, dreaming that one day they will be able to get ahead, soar and return home.

But the vast majority of them, from the moment they set foot on the land of this city, their dreams are destined to be completely shattered!

The Federation's strict control over the foreign population has made the customs and entry inspection of every city of the Federation the strictest in the world. A federal green card, in the minds of most people in many other countries, is tantamount to a step to the sky.

Therefore, in order to come to the Federation and obtain that green card, countless people are willing to risk their lives and smuggle into this vast land through various means.

The Middle East Sea, as the largest international city in the Federation and the largest number of foreigners, has undoubtedly become the first choice for these people. According to statistics, the number of foreigners who come to the East China Sea through smuggling is as high as 100,000 every year!

And this is the result of the strict control of the Tokai Customs, the Exit and Entry Administration, the Police, the Federal Security Service, and the Border Guards. Otherwise, this number will not be multiplied by more than ten times!

For these people, once verified, repatriation is the only way out! If they have participated in illegal and criminal activities, then it is very likely that their ashes will be successfully left on this land.

As one of the few countries in the world that retains the death penalty, the federal government has always been unrelenting in its punishment for serious crimes.

The whole federation is a recognized forbidden area for drug dealers all over the world, where drug production, drug trafficking, and the death penalty are the only sentences, without exception!

Even for drug addicts, many of them are in serious condition, the effect of compulsory drug rehabilitation is not good, or those who have relapsed repeatedly, after obtaining the consent of their families or being sentenced by the court, euthanasia is their final destination.

It is precisely because of the deterrence of the death penalty that the security situation in the whole federation has always been at the top of the list. Especially because of the strict gun control policy, the incidence of violence here is much lower than that of other developed countries in Europe and the United States, which are also developed countries.

Countless people with dreams have embarked on a road destined to be full of thorns without hesitation, even if some lucky people have gone through hardships and bruises through the thorny jungle, but what awaits him in front of him is often an unknown journey shrouded in thick fog.
