386. I implore Zhao Fen to go down the mountain
"Sister! Isn't it a bit hasty to hold the National Day ceremony? "We have taken control of Nandong City, and the land area is the largest in the world. But we have a fatal heel......"
Thorn didn't speak, but looked at the white lotus.
"You're talking about talent, right?" Bai Lian replied for her, "Not bad." We do lack talented people. White Market was a city supported by slaves; And the elites of Nandong City were killed by the Black-clothed Sect, and they were beaten by our White Market again, and many people were lost. It seems that our situation is not optimistic. ”
"So ......"
Bai Lian made a boo pose.
Two people stood on the balcony of a high-rise building, looking at the busy city in the early morning sun, talking about the founding ceremony.
Standing here, you can see that many simple dwellings have suddenly popped up in Nancheng District, which is the temporary residence area of one million slaves in Nandong City. Turning his head and looking to the north, it is the family residence area of the soldiers brought by Ma Jun, and the newly built Beicheng District has begun to take shape, and the area is twice as large as the original city of Baishi.
A million slaves settled in Nandongcheng, and the expanded southern area was not four or five times larger?
"Sister! It won't be long before the White Market will be built into a million-dollar city. Bai Lian's hand pointed to the hot southern area, "The people there, they are full of confidence and have the purpose of living a free life again. And what we're going to do is add a catalyst. ”
"Sister! The increase in population exceeds the carrying capacity of the white market. The thorn pointed to Beicheng, "The hundreds of thousands of people brought by Chief Ma, there is already a problem there. ”
"What's the situation?" Bai Lian asked in a cautious tone.
"Fertility." Thorn speaks of the recent predicament, "Many of them are pregnant and follow Ma Jun here. Now, the birth tide of babies is gradually becoming apparent. Health care has become a thorny problem. There are too few medical practitioners, and professional people are even more scarce. ”
"I thought it was something big. That's good! The original inhabitants of the White City, during the slave period, were physiologically destroyed too much to have children. The people brought by Ma Jun can have children, which just makes up for the gap, so they should be happy. ”
"If you don't provide a good environment for childbirth, it will definitely lead to unstable consequences. Sister! The low fertility rate of the original citizens of Baishi does not mean that the fertility rate of the new slaves is also low. Thorn spoke, pointing to the south, "Wait until we have solved the birthing environment in the northern city; The birth of this group of people is even more arduous. Sister! It's just a fertility problem, and there are many more problems that follow, such as going to school, working, and so on. ”
"So you mean we held the National Day ceremony too early? Solve the food, housing and transportation of the citizens first? ”
"Hmm!"
"Sister!" Bai Lian pointed to the large ~ plain land, "Have you found it?" Recently, human beings have cleared the forest, and there are no more inexplicable deaths. There is no shortage of land in the white market, and there are mountains on three sides as a barrier. In addition, we have a lot of technology left by 'scissor doors'. The situation you are talking about will definitely be solved. More importantly, the National Day ceremony can be inspiring. ”
"I hope so!" Thorn's tone softened, "Everything didn't come easily, and I don't want to see it broken." ”
"You're right." Bai Lian patted her on the shoulder, "The National Day ceremony is in charge of me, Gongsun Ling, Sister Lin, and Ma Jun; You and Secretary Miao Jia concentrate on housekeeping. ”
At this time, Tang Ying and Xiaobai pushed the door in. One person and one cat came back from the South District.
One man and one cat are fully responsible for the slaves transferred from Nandong City, eating and living with them.
"Tired!" Xiaobai jumped and landed on the sofa in the living room, "It's finally straightened out." ”
Tang Ying didn't speak, but picked up a glass of water and drank it with a gurgling voice.
"You two, hard work." Bai Lian left the balcony and returned to the living room.
One person and one cat immediately stood up and said in unison: "When did you come back?" ”
"Tang Ying! Adapted? Bai Lian skipped the question, "There can't be any mistakes in the southern area, is it clear?" ”
"White Lotus! You're back in the White Market, grunting. Boring. Xiaobai lay back on the sofa, "Do you still want me to rest?" Back here, I want to have a drink. You're good, as soon as you meet, come to serious topics. ”
Thorn turned back indoors and looked at the chattering white. She didn't bother him a lot. He worked very seriously and patiently taught Tang Ying; Not a good one, complaining too much.
"Thorns! What do you look at? "I'm a coolie, what's the matter with a few complaints?" I complain, can I get rid of a piece of meat on you? ”
"Hey! Someone is really finding fault. Tang Ying said, "I'm going to watch a good show." It's been a day of running, and it's not bad to see you guys talking. ”
"You're coming less." Thorn made a face, "Say? What do you need me to do when you sing and harmonize? One minute, no waiting. ”
"It's fine." Little white warp ~ front paws.
Tang Ying glared at him viciously and shook his head.
"He doesn't say, you do." Thorn looked at Tang Ying, "I don't understand the little emotions of the two of you?" I don't have time for you. ”
The thorns make a gesture of leaving.
"Sister Thorn! Don't ......" Tang Ying immediately stood up, "I'll talk about it!" It's like this, you see, we are mixed with them all day long, and we are very tired, you see, can I ...... with the little white master"
Bai Lian looked at Tang Ying with a smile. Tang Ying didn't talk any more and shut up.
"Can it be anything?" Thorn asked knowingly, "You say." She pointed to the instigator lying on the couch, "It must have been your bad idea." ”
"Huh! People get old and forget. Xiao Bai looked at the smiling Bai Lian with a dead face, "Tang Ying! What did I tell you? Remind me. ”
Tang Ying scolded Xiaobai in her heart, who was cut by a thousand cuts, was too thick-skinned. She looked at Bai Lian and didn't dare to get angry.
Thorn also ignored the nonsense of the two men and sat down.
"I'll send you home." Bai Lian looked at Tang Ying and said seriously, "And you." She pointed to Xiaobai, who showed her innocent face.
"Don't ......," one person and one cat became serious, "how good it is here, we are reluctant to leave." ”
"It's not fun at all." Bai Lian said, "Let the two of you visit the newcomers in the southern area, this is tired?" Any idea why I'm coming back to the White Market? ”
One man and one cat died down and nodded.
"Hold on for three more days."
"Okay."
——
At night, the white lotus pulls the thorns and gently falls down to Nanshan Temple.
Nanshan, which used to be quiet, is now a different scene.
The ground at the foot of the mountain was leveled by rumbling operating machines. The figures of people and robots are busy in the light of the night.
The prosperity of the mountain also enlivens the temple on the mountain.
The two saw a former monk giving a lecture to a group of people.
“…… You are out of the sea of suffering, do not dwell on the past. Come here and start your lives anew......"
A group of people in shabby clothes, sitting below, listened to the old nun's sermon.
White Lotus looked at their faces and clothes and knew that they were newcomers.
"What's going on?" Bai Lian was puzzled, "Newcomer, since you went up the mountain to listen to the lecture?" ”
Thorn gives a rough account of what happened.
The people who came to listen were all newcomers. They work in shifts, and after work, they can't sleep, they have nightmares when they fall asleep, and they keep dreaming of the past when they were abused~. Later, they took the initiative to go to the temple and asked to preach to them.
Zhao Fen discussed with everyone and decided to preach day and night.
"Yes, yes, but I have to talk to my mother. Otherwise, everyone will escape into the empty door, and I will have to drink the northwest wind. ”
"I reminded my mother."
The two knocked on Zhao Fen's door.
"Come in." There was a breathless voice.
When Bai Lian heard this, she was overjoyed.
Since my father was gone, my mother hadn't spoken so forcefully for a long time. It seems that her mother Zhao Fen's mood has adjusted.
Cluck......
White Lotus pushed the door and entered.
"You're back."
Bai Lian saw her mother Zhao Fen kneeling on the futon with full energy, "Hmm! Mom! ”
"Your sister has been here a few times." Zhao Fen got up and put on incense, "I think you came here to warn me not to persuade them to join the Buddhist sect, right?" ”
"Mom! I'm here for the National Day ceremony. Bai Lian didn't answer, "Can you attend?" ”
Bai Lian is telling the truth, tonight, she came here for the National Day ceremony. And the opening lecture, she just found out.
"National Day ceremony?" Zhao Fen turned his head, "Thorns!" You didn't mention it. ”
Thorn nodded, "Mom! I decided on an impromptu basis yesterday, so I didn't have time to tell you. ”
"Decided yesterday?" Zhao Fen repeated, "Why do you do things so quickly? When he said this, Zhao Fen looked at Bai Lian, "The time it takes for you to decide things is getting shorter and shorter, much faster than your father." I'm afraid that's not good? Now, though, it's up to you to call the shots in the white market. ”
Listening to her mother's words, Bai Lian was very relieved.
The mother came out of the gloom and began to talk about the father.
"Mom! The times are unstable, and there is no time to consider. Bai Lian replied, "I still want to establish a country without a National Day ceremony." Later, think about it. I've got to get a decent ceremony. And this ritual is for you.
Mother! You are the mother of the country in the white market, and the citizens are looking forward to you coming down the mountain to participate in the National Day ceremony. I know you're going down the mountain, it's difficult. However, this time, I beg you to come down the mountain and attend the National Day ceremony. ”
"Mom!" Thorn also said, "The National Day Ceremony can't be without you." You are the spiritual backbone of all of us. People all over the city are looking forward to your presence at the ceremony. ”
Zhao Fen was also excited in her heart.
In a short period of time, more than one million people flowed into the white market, which was something she and Bai Hong could not achieve after a lifetime of struggle, and their adopted daughter, Bai Lian, did it. Now, no matter how much country there is, my daughter wants to establish a country. Can you not get excited?
However, it seems inappropriate to think that you have entered the Buddha Gate and appear in a public place again.
"I stay in the temple with peace of mind." Zhao Fen suppressed her excitement, "You guys did a good job. ”
Just now, several nuns had already seen the white lotus and thorns coming here. They hid outside and eavesdropped, and when they heard that Zhao Fen was unwilling to go down the mountain, one of them immediately ran to the lecture hall and summoned everyone to come.
"Everybody get on your knees." The eldest old lady spoke, "We ask the mayor's wife to come down the mountain and attend the National Day ceremony. ”
Knock Knock......
More than a hundred people knelt on the cold ground.
"Madame!"
Hearing the cry, the thorn opened the door.
The three of them saw the black oppressive people outside, kneeling.
"Mom!" White Lotus and Thorn shouted together.
Zhao Fen looked at the people outside the door.
"Madame! We beg you, go down the mountain to participate in the National Day ceremony! ”
