During this time, Zheng Bei and others took turns to go around Fengyang City, and the north gate of Fengyang was never opened, so they could only go to the west gate. I haven't been able to find a place to live in the city, after all, Fengyang has a large population now, and with the onset of winter, it seems that every warm space is crowded with people. I also went to see the southbound road, and the Imperial Army still set up heavy trucks. The crowd remained outside the city and waited. Waiting for a good change, or waiting for the arrival of bugs.

During this period, Huang Zhenshan came once with some gifts. However, neither Zheng Bei nor Liu Qiming met him. Just listening to Shen Yi, that rhubarb's eyes straightened after seeing Xiao Rou. Xiao Rou in Shen Yi's mouth is the girl Zheng Bei rescued in the black shop at the service station, named Jiao Rou, who is about the same age as Shen Yi and is also a student. Now the girl is not as taciturn as she used to be, but she still likes to carry the troll on her back and keep the gun by her side.

After the entire city wall was closed, the efficient construction team did not stop their work. Now the city wall has been built from the north side of the east gate. Fengyang should look like a lollipop when viewed from above, and this newly built city wall is that lollipop. Fengyang was the northernmost ice-free port of the empire, and I wonder what form this wall would take to protect the port.

Zhengbei and their search for a house has made no progress, and the empire is also anxious during this time. Just talk about this Fengyang City. The relationship between the city government and the Imperial Army was getting worse and worse. The Imperial Cabinet would not allow local garrisons to interfere in government affairs. The Fengyang City Government and the Fengyunxing Provincial Government would not give the Imperial Army this opportunity to enter the city.

However, with the arrival of orders from the Imperial Cabinet and the Central Military Department, the situation gradually began to get out of control. Fengyang Port and Railway Station, which were once busy, are still busy. But these two places are no longer full of people, trucks of logistics companies of all colors, and busy businessmen. The port and railway station are now completely under military control, transporting all kinds of supplies to Fengyang City. In order to prevent panic caused by the exodus of a large number of people, it is also feared that the public security and economic environment in the areas where the people have moved will deteriorate due to the mass migration. The empire stopped public transportation to the outside world in Fengyang. Only the military and government departments can pass through the checkpoint on official business. This public transportation was stopped, and former merchants could not enter Fengyang, and Fengyang's daily necessities were completely provided by the local government.

The military brought in things, and the local government took them and sold them. When the Fengyang government first took over the work, it did its best to bring prices back to the level before the construction of the city wall. However, as time passed, the prices of commodities in private circulation rose again. The Fengyang government was troubled by this, but there was nothing they could do. The current mode of supply of goods must limit the amount of purchases per capita. And officials at all levels are working on this, so that some "special people" have the ability to hoard large quantities of supplies. The thousand-year-old practice of imperial officialdom: it is difficult to clear the stream. Qing officials will be feared and rejected by all the corrupt officials around them, and if they don't know how to go to the top, clean officials will not be able to hold a high position. Of course, the officials of the local government of Fengyang and the provincial government of Fengyunxing are all high-ranking officials. These people are troubled on the surface, but they are also involved in the "distribution of cats". No one will be able to clean up this mess.

The government provides affordable supplies, but very few people can buy them at affordable prices. With the blockage of traffic, a large number of people lost their jobs. Former logistics workers, former airport and station workers and random attendants, businessmen, tourism workers have lost their jobs, and a large number of factories have shut down. Of course, as the supply of gasoline began to be restricted, all the taxi drivers in Fengyang were no longer able to work. There are many more people like the ones mentioned above who have lost their jobs.

Now the economic environment in Fengyang is extremely deformed, and as time goes by, more and more people begin to be unable to afford to eat. And the city government has nothing to do from the perspective of prices, even if a conscientious official retracts his hand, he cannot open his mouth and ask others to retract their hands as well. In fact, if everyone retracts their hands, it won't solve too big a problem. For people who don't have any money at all, there is actually no difference between expensive and cheap things.

Because the Imperial Army has been presiding over the repair of the wall, the Fengyunxing Provincial Government has repeatedly approached the garrison headquarters for jobs. At the beginning, the garrison headquarters also gave a lot of jobs, and even replaced a construction team. However, the number of jobs given cannot meet the current needs of Fengyang City. There are also many unemployed people who face the threat of hunger. The main force for the construction of the wall was the engineering battalion of the Imperial Army, and there were some foreign construction teams to cooperate. But those construction teams are also covered by military bigwigs.

The walls were built with heavy machinery and technical work. There is not much need for low-skilled workers on the jobsite. And the city government wants to recommend low-skilled workers. In this way, it was very unpleasant to go back and forth between the garrison headquarters and Fengyun Province, which led to the fact that when the militia regiment was the party to the disaster, the garrison headquarters completely closed its two eyes.

After the Fengyunxing provincial government tried its best, Fengyang's economy inevitably collapsed. After consulting the cabinet, Fengyang finally began to provide relief. In order to avoid the situation that the whole people reach out, the quality and quantity of relief supply are limited. Relief supplies are scarce, things are poor, but they can't starve to death, and they want to eat meat?

"Brother Zheng, Rhubarb is here. Zheng Bei stayed in the factory at the back, and Zhang Lichuan ran in when Zhao Rizhi was busy. Rhubarb has been running here since he first came to see Jiao Rou. After running, you have to join the mahjong battle. This guy has also figured out the pattern now, and always comes when Liu Qiming and Falipami are away. He was always able to grab a mahjong spot at this time.

Sure enough, before Zheng Bei could go out, Shen Yi ran in to support the table with a shout. Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhenshan, Li Yuan, and Lin Lili also walked in.

"Brother Zheng. Huang Zhenshan greeted Zheng Bei with a smile. Zheng Bei also responded with a smile: "Did you kid bring the bet?" "It's the same old way, score, I won't pay the bill anyway." If you lose, you can do it. "These people have to add a little bit of color every time they play mahjong, and the value of the banknotes has fluctuated lately. Later, he played mahjong with Huang Zhenshan, and these people settled directly in kind. Zheng Bei knew that Rhubarb lost badly in the last game, and Lin Lili asked Rhubarb to bring cosmetics to pay off the debt.

Zheng Bei pulled Shen Yi aside: "What about Xiaorou?" Shen Yi squinted at Zheng Bei and said, "What are you doing? Shen Yi still had the same expression: "What are you doing? want to match the two of them?" Zheng Bei couldn't help it and gave Shen Yi a burst of chest. "Oh, you're going to die. Shen Yi rubbed his head and kicked Zheng Bei twice.

"Didn't I say it before, this kind of play is a little bit softer. "Oops, I remember. Knowing that you are a great benevolent person, Xiao Rou will come over immediately. After Shen Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly ran back to the table, and Huang Zhenshan and Lin Lili at the table were already impatient to start stacking cards. Since Lin Lili learned to play mahjong, she has not fallen on the field, and she can always find a reason for herself to play. However, it is said that she played her cards quite stinky.

Jiao Rou also came in, she was a pretty girl, and she didn't like to talk much, and she felt very quiet. But carrying a gun on his back all the time seemed too inconsistent. Zheng Bei walked to Jiao Rou's side: "Xiaorou, what are you doing with a gun when you play cards, how dangerous it is." Come on, I'll put it aside for you. Zheng Bei's hand was halfway outstretched, and a small white and tender hand pressed on the gun. "The safety was not opened, and the bullets were not loaded. Jiao Rou's voice was not loud, but the expressionless way of speaking still made Zheng Bei quite uncomfortable. "......Ahh Hey, Li Yuan, aren't you on it?" Zheng Bei changed the subject. Li Yuan showed an exaggerated expression and said, "Can you help me drive one down?" At this moment, Zheng Bei felt that three murderous eyes were gathering towards him behind him. "Hahaha, let's go and give Brother Zhao a shot. Li Yuan pouted: "I'm not going, I'm going to watch the excitement here, I can replace any of them in the toilet or something." ”

Huang Zhenshan's mahjong is actually playing well, but he always loses more and wins less when he comes here. The other three people at the table were ready to partner with him, no matter how they changed. However, with Lin Lili's lagging legs there, this pit man's plan has been repeatedly frustrated. However, as long as Jiao Rou was present, Rhubarb almost never won. This guy also has a lot of fun, and every time he loses, he has to rack his brains to get a bet when he goes back, and then he comes back when he gets it.
