Li An was about to go out when a staff member called him.

"What's the matter with you?"

Staff: "Is the messenger going out?" ”

Li An sighed in his heart, can't he go out, he has to be confined here and can't move!

Staff "Steward Zhang has ordered, you are an outsider, it is best not to violate our rules in Zhangjiacheng, otherwise the punishment will be doubled In addition, as a messenger, you have a daily consumption limit of five silver coins, which is your silver coin." ”

In Zhangjiacheng, the punishment for outsiders committing crimes is doubled, this is for sure, Li An came as a representative of the government, not an outsider, although his freedom is not restricted here, if he hurts people here, Zhangjiacheng's own people will be punished by working in the mining area for half a year, and outsiders will be for a year, if they are from other countries, the punishment will be heavier, and they need to go in for five years.

Li An held the silver coin with a shiny silver coin, and he didn't hear the warning to the staff, his identity is to catch fast, and he is a defender of order, whether other colleagues can do it remains to be discussed, but he only asks his conscience and has no regrets, other colleagues have exploited the people in various ways over the years, he has never done it, but he can't stop such a thing with his identity, if he dares to do more things, he may not see the sun tomorrow.

It is already rare to be able to do different flows and pollution, and it is difficult to get out of the mud without staining, some things are not that I don't want to take care of them, and Ang Lee has no ability to change, he is alone, he is alone, what can he do?

I heard before that Zhang Jiacheng used silver coins, and Li An, as a representative of the government, had five silver coins for consumption.

Walking on the lively street, not far away is the Oriental Plaza, because of the sun exposure, there are not many people in the square now, but there are many people buying and selling in the small shops next to it, Li An is dressed in sackcloth, his hair is tied to his head, there is not much difference from ordinary people, Zhangjiacheng advocates that the people cut their hair, but they do not require it to be cut, and there are many people like Li An.

But in the whole environment, most of the men have adapted to the thing of cutting hair.

"Uncle, sit down and rest, such a big sun, sunshine bad people."

Beckoning a sweeping uncle to come over, Li An said politely.

A person greeted by Li An is a sanitation worker in Zhangjiacheng, the main task is self-evident, Zhangjiacheng's sanitation is not as exaggerated as later generations, but the increase in population and livestock has led to the generation of garbage, and there are more livestock, and excrement is discharged casually, which cannot be controlled by man.

Chen Zijian didn't want to live in a garbage place, smelling that strange smell, and then there was the birth of sanitation workers, which mainly recruited some elderly people, these people's labor ability was greatly weakened, even if they wanted to go to the factory established by Chen Zijian to work, there was no ability, such as the China Construction Road Construction Bureau, cement production plant, the factory needs strength to do things, and the elderly are obviously not suitable.

Sanitation recruitment is arranged for these idle people, the elderly get the opportunity to make money, and Zhangjiacheng has a clean environment. Because the workload of sanitation workers is small, the monthly money they get cannot be too high, Chen Zi is determined to be two silver coins a month, and the wages of sanitation workers are the same as those of the factory, so the problem is big, everyone comes to work as sanitation workers, and the money is more and less work.

All Chen Zijian lowered the wages of sanitation workers a little, and calculated the money according to the labor intensity.

"Young man, what, new here!"

The old man put the basket on the trolley and came over and said.

Li An arched his hand, "The old man has good eyesight, he just came from another place, the kid sees that the people here are better off than the provincial government, why is this?" I heard that the chief here is against the government. ”

In the territory of the volunteers, they didn't dare to say that they were anti-thieves, and Li An only said that he was against the government here. In fact, it's similar to talking about anti-thieves, but it's just better.

Old man: "This is the business of those adults, as long as we villains can live a good life." You're new here."

Not long ago, the government sent people to encircle and suppress the volunteers, but they were defeated by the volunteers. It's impossible, but the life here sticks everyone together, all the people's previous lives are not as good as one-tenth of here, to live in such a good place, the people only see what is in front of them, and the future will be counted later, even if the government defeats the volunteers and takes back the land, the people will at most go back to their original days, there are more than 300,000 people here, most of them have been arrested, so many people can not be killed by the government.

Li An: "The old man has good eyesight, the kid just came, and asked me, how much copper money do you have a month for doing things here." ”

The old man looked at the newcomer with a look, and he was really new, otherwise he would have to ask about such a simple matter!

The old man said, "Some time ago, there was no need for copper coins here, this kind of coin was used, and the coin was similar to copper coins, but it was used here." ”

The old man took out a coin worth five copper coins and handed it to Ang Lee, so that he could see the world. "See, this coin looks better. As for the monthly money I have for doing things, it is not much, just two silver coins, alas, if I can be ten years younger, I can go to the factory to work, when I am old, the chief sweeps the floor for us old bones to make money, and the chief is a kind person. ”

Li An's heart turned upside down, if the strong people have three silver coins income, this is acceptable, but these old people who sweep the floor can have two silver coins, that is, two taels of silver a month, as a catch, Li An often walks around in Yuezhou City, knowing that the life of the people at the bottom is difficult, and the people in Yuezhou City can earn two hundred dollars, which is rare, compared to the people at the bottom of Zhangjiacheng, there is really no way to compare.

The old man took out a clean small cloth bag from the front of the trolley, took out a piece of something transparent, and enjoyed it beautifully, Li An was curious, "Old man, what are you doing?" ”

"Rock candy!"

The old man said casually, "This thing is very sweet, I heard that eating it is good for the body, do you want to have a piece?" Alas, I didn't expect that the old man and I would be blessed to enjoy it when I reached this age, thanks to the gift of the chief! Young man, come to Zhangjiacheng to live a good life, find a good job to make money to buy a house, get a wife, old man, I am old, I can't work. ”

Ang Lee took a small piece of rock candy, smelled it, there was no taste, his tongue "licked" it, and the sweetness reached his mouth, which was similar to the taste of honey, but it was a little different.

Ang Lee: "This is frosting, the old man is not cheap!" ”

Frosting is available in Yuezhou City, but it doesn't look as good as this kind of rock candy, such rock candy appears in Yuezhou City, at least more than ten taels of silver, Li An guessed that frosting is only willing to be bought by wealthy families, but Zhangjiacheng is good, a most ordinary old man is willing to use it, and the Tao is not ideal!

That is, Zhangjiacheng makes a lot of money, prices are low, and the people at the bottom will live better here, and Li An seems that this is indeed the case. There are many rich people in Yuezhou City, but there are more people at the bottom, whether a country is strong or not depends not on the number of rich people, but also on how the people at the bottom live.

Li An is alone, does not go with others, has been to many places as a catcher, and what he sees is that the people are living a struggling life, this is still the resource-rich southern region, and the people in the northern region are living even more miserable.

Farewell old man, Li An arrived at the store, it is considered to be a big shopping mall, covering an area of 500 square meters, a pound of refined salt 100 coins, this price is simply cheap, the salt eaten by other people is still mixed with sediment, coarse salt of stones, and this cannot be compared.

Li An lamented in his heart, the people's aspirations, the government wants to eliminate the thieves, it is no longer possible.

In just half a day here, if Li An wasn't a family member in Yuezhou City, he would have wanted to stay, being an ordinary person here, faster than being a rich man in Yuezhou City, after watching it for so long, Li An didn't see the arrest fast, oh, the police embarrassed the people, from time to time a few policemen passed by, just a simple patrol to maintain law and order, and did not innocently detain the people and extort money.

I returned to the guest house in a hurry, and it was already evening, and I had a sumptuous dinner, no accident, it was still whale meat.

I thought that the people would pay attention at night, this is the habit of most people, the oil lamp is not at home, but it costs a lot of oil to burn the oil lamp, the people are fine at night, most of them go to bed early. The guest house lit a candle for Li An, this kind of flame is bright, and the candle without much oil smoke is much better than an oil lamp.

Sitting by the candle and thinking about the Zhangjiacheng he saw today, Li An felt chills all over, because the power that Zhangjiacheng showed him was too terrifying, if he was given a period of time, he could easily gather 100,000 elite soldiers, and the government would not be able to resist the volunteers.

If there are really 100,000 elite soldiers attacking Yuezhou City, Li An has no confidence in the city defense of Yuezhou City, and as a member of the government, Li An is naturally worried about the prefect.

Li An inquired about Zhangjiacheng's treatment of the new people, and naturally arranged work for the people who took the initiative to come over, because there were a large number of new factories here, and the people who needed to do things were always short of people, which determined that Zhangjiacheng needed to supplement the lack of population.

At present, the volunteers are doing this kind of thing, arresting the people from the outside, and then relying on the favorable living conditions here, they can quickly grasp the hearts of the people, and then the power of the anti-thieves is getting bigger and bigger, this situation cannot be changed by the government, even if the government realizes that the anti-thieves are extraordinary, and wants to strangle the territory of the anti-thieves, the government is not capable of doing it.

Unconsciously, Li An became sentimental, eating the people's food, "" the prefect's heart, the people of the government are not here, and they can't see the situation in Zhangjiacheng, Li An knows that the situation here is more serious than the prefect thinks.

This is not an ordinary anti-thief, the northern anti-thief is 'chaotic', usually one party harms the other place, belongs to the rootless Ping, after a period of time will dissolve on its own, it is difficult to gather together for a long time.

On the contrary, the volunteers here are fully capable of attacking Yuezhou City, but they have not done so, and the situation is either greater harboring evil intentions or plotting against them.

Li An thought about things, he couldn't sleep all night, not worried about the safety here, this is the territory of the anti-thief, if there is anything, you can come and arrest people directly, there is no need to play any tricks to kill people at night, Li An is worried about the future, the anti-thief is accumulating strength here, and it will soon sweep the whole province, and the nest will be overwhelmed.

According to the ambition shown by the leader of the anti-thieves, coupled with the military strength of Zhangjiacheng, Li An has reason to believe that the other party's forces will not stop at Maoming County, and when the other party accumulates tens of thousands of troops, it will be a crisis in Yuezhou City.

Every night, because Chen Zijian did not implement a curfew, coupled with his special guidance, Zhangjiacheng has initially begun to appear nightlife, Li An came for the first time, did not know that it was lively outside, and went to bed early.
