Boss, are you hiring? ”

A woman with chapped lips stood in the doorway of a restaurant with a lifeless face, and the owner shook his head after looking at the dark-skinned woman.

"No way!"

The woman licked her lips.

"Can you .......?"

Without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, the boss had already turned to look at the other applicants, and the woman was quickly pushed to the back by the crowd.

Most of the restaurants are full, and it's an industry where you can still find jobs in the city, but you have to be strong and good looking to get into the restaurant.

Most people can't hold on anymore, and although there is food and water distributed by Congress every three days, for many people, this kind of hopeless day is extremely cruel to people.

At this time, this dark-skinned woman looked at everything in front of her blankly, she didn't know what to do in the future.

A truck drove slowly up, and a man on it shouted with a megaphone.

"The Sumerian tobacco plantation is in dire need of a large number of people, with a salary of 20 yuan a day and three meals."

For a while, a large number of people crowded over, and the dark-skinned woman also hurriedly ran over, if there was money to be made, many people did not want to wait for death, eating relief food every day to survive.

Located in the northeast corner of the city, there is a family cultivation area, basically except for a small number of crops, all of them are growing tobacco, which is the second only food supply in the city, and tobacco has been fully opened to the family at the beginning of the city's establishment.

Most families would start growing food when the food supply was insufficient, and at that time, there were no restrictions on commodity law, and the food produced in the family's fields was of the highest quality, and the price of food was generally higher than the overall market price, some small families were for their own use, and some medium and large families were used for business.

However, after the introduction of the commodity law, the market price of food was stabilized, and although the family's food was still of high quality and was still being supplied to the upper echelons, the price of raw materials and profit margins had begun to fall, so most families began to engage in the tobacco industry.

There are a large number of tobacco companies in the city, ranging from the cheapest 1-pack cigarettes to 100-pack cigarettes, and all kinds of flavors of cigarettes are the second most abundant consumables in the city after food.

In recent years, most families have built tobacco cultivation greenhouses on all the crops in their fields, except for the fields that their families need every year.

"Can you do the job?"

The head of the Sumerian family asked, the dark-skinned woman nodded, and there were people coming up on the truck, but many people still didn't seem to want to work in the fields, the wages were too low for many people, and working in a restaurant at this time could basically get 1,000 yuan a month.

"Come up!"

The woman thanked her gratefully and got into the car, and soon the truck was full of more than 100 people, and there was no way to recruit people, and it was clear that it could hold 200 people, and the person in charge was still shouting hard.

At this time, some reporters on the side of the street were interviewing some people from the bottom.

"I need a job."

Most people would have answered the reporter's question in the face of this, and now there are more and more people in the city who are idle at home, and nearly 65% of them are unemployed, so they can only continue to wait for the factories in the west to be fully activated.

Not everyone can receive relief food, only those who are so poor that they can't get a dime out of their pockets, complaining, angry, and crying are completely useless, and many people can only continue to endure.

The current managers have created a feeling of toughness among many people, and the law and order problem has indeed been solved, but more problems are spreading.

The eastern and western parts of the city are devastated and dilapidated, and the houses that are not good have been demolished, and although the owners will receive a compensation from Congress and will rebuild the houses when the work is completed, there is resentment.

Now the Angus family is listed, which makes the voice of dissatisfaction in the city intensify, most people feel that the Angus family is too greedy, this is a profitable city construction, and got the stock market, in just a few days of opening, the stock of the Angus family rushed all the way to the top, can no longer continue to rise, a large number of businessmen, companies and some people who have a little spare money, have pressed the money into it.

Because everyone knows that if you are one step later, you will have to earn a little less, and as long as the construction continues, the Angus family will be able to make a steady stream of money.

X stood quietly on the roof of a high-rise building on the ground floor, looking at the people below who were still waiting to receive relief food, the city was in shambles, and many public facilities were no longer available.

"Eddie, that bastard!"

X knows very well that if this construction project did not have these things he made up, the factory would have been able to start now, and his purpose in doing this was to force the Angus family to go public, and in the end the Angus family could not bear it, and could only integrate most of the resources through the listing, and only with money could they continue to speed up the progress.

This is hundreds of billions of construction, funds will flow around the city day and night, the coin thrown by capital can always make the city move, and finally the coin will become extremely large, and return to the hands of capital, but all aspects of the city have been driven.

In X's opinion, the gods' plan is fine, but they still ignore one point and do not eradicate the Hillman family, but they couldn't do it decades ago, and there is no opportunity for the gods to solve the family's problem that plagues the city.

They are needed for the establishment of cities, and they are also needed for the development of cities, and the appearance of the department is just a meaningless move in X's view, and human society will always have endless problems, and the root of these problems is the desire that human beings have had since birth.

X came here today to go to the west, because according to the information given to him by the AI, the gods came out with a pretty incredible thing for the supply of electricity, and X really wanted to take a look.

At this time, in an alley, some people with the food they had just received walked into a house with a smile, and when they came out, the bags used to receive the food were empty, and many people had money in their hands, and turned to carry a bag of liquid food, and quickly disappeared into the street.

X shook his head, these people didn't seem to know what they were doing at all, because in the eyes of many people, there was such a concept that the law would not hold the public accountable, and in fact, it was true, although many people were involved in the black market transactions, and the Operations Department knew about it, but they did not arrest these people according to the previous punishment method.

"If this continues, it will only usher in an era of stronger regulation."

Eddie's plan has succeeded, and the Angus family knows what kind of risk it means to go public, but in the end, their family still took such a huge risk to go public, and it won't take many years for the entire Angus family to collapse.

Most businessmen knew what to do, because there were not many such opportunities, and there would be no verbal or written agreement to start sniping, which was something that businessmen did not need to think about at all.

The increasing chaos has allowed businessmen to see plenty of opportunities to make a fortune, and there will be no winner in this zero-sum game.

"You're still too young, Eddie!"

X has witnessed this society countless times, one businessman after another, the powerful, are keen on this feast, many people think that as long as they can eat a piece of meat, it is good, but they don't know that what they eat will one day spit back intact.

In the afternoon, the weather began to warm up, the temperature was still very high, and many people on the truck bound for the Sumerian family in the northeast chatted familiarly.

The short, thin, dark-skinned woman sat quietly in the corner of the outside of the truck, and she didn't communicate with others.

Although many people complain, there is a salary and a provision of three meals a day, which is still good for many people who cannot find a job.

The truck was blocked on the road, and the driver scolded directly, looking at the road jam time given by the AI, it would take half an hour.

At this time, the people in the truck began to take off their coats and cover their heads, and the hot temperature made many people sweat.

The dark-skinned woman couldn't stand it anymore, and she leaned back a little disgustingly.

"Miss, if you continue like this, you will suffer from heat stroke."

A man with sallow skin but a burly figure handed over a bottle of water, and after the woman took a sip of it gratefully, the man took the water and poured it on the woman's head, and she felt a little more comfortable.

On both sides of the road, there are already many people with bottled water to sell it, which is a very common scene, and once the traffic is jammed, some people who are exposed to the sun in such an afternoon will definitely not be able to stand it.

A 1 kilogram bottle of water costs 5 cents, which is just ordinary tap water, but 1 ton of water from the water plant only costs 2 cents 5.

There are some people in the neighborhood who are in the 5th section, but they don't stop such an act, because everyone is just trying to make a living.

The woman shook her teeth, took out the last 1 yuan from her pocket, bought a bottle of water, and felt a little more relieved.

Finally the car started to start, and many people had smiles on their faces again, and at this rate, it would be at least tonight to get there.

After the car had just driven a few kilometers, it encountered another traffic jam, and the driver and the person in charge turned around and told everyone.

"This time it's going to be blocked for an hour, so let's buy something to eat first, otherwise we may not be able to hold it on the road later."

With that, the driver and the person in charge walked to a small restaurant on the side of the street, and some people in the truck also got up and got out of the car directly.

The woman got out of the car a little tired, the street was full of food stalls, and the smell stimulated everyone's taste buds, and it was just 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

However, soon the dark-skinned woman found that the last remaining 5 cents in her pocket could not even afford the cheapest omelet, which cost 8 cents, and she was a little embarrassed to hold the last remaining 5 cents in her pocket, and her expression became solemn.

In order to be able to find a job, the woman did not wait in line for food distribution today, and finally found a job, but now she is dizzy with hunger.

The woman stood on the street, looking at many people who had already bought food, so she sat casually in some areas of the street for people to rest, gobbling up food, the woman licked her chapped lips and took a sip of water.

"Take it!"

The woman looked up in surprise and looked at a hot egg cake placed in front of her, it was the man who had just given her water, and he grinned.

"When you get paid, you can pay me back."

The woman looked a little embarrassed, took out 5 cents from her pocket, handed it to the man, and said thank you tremblingly, but the man shook his head and did not answer.

"My name is Luo Jun, what about you?"

"Bayek."

The dark-skinned woman lowered her head, looked at the egg cake that was still half left, and handed it over.

"You haven't eaten yet!"

The man was embarrassed, smiled and took it, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and began to talk about some things after going to the farm.

As it approached 5 o'clock, the sun's rays began to dim, but this was for the rest of the city except the east.

The temperature on the farms in the east is still a bit hot, and in order to be able to give the crops in the agricultural base more rapid maturity, the amount of sunlight every day is necessary.

The harm caused by construction pollution to agricultural bases has become more serious.

Ye Chunwang squatted in a field with a lot of wilted crops, and not far away was the construction site, and from time to time construction particles flew over.

"The most serious thing is this place, Jean, the outer land has begun to desertify, and it is not okay to do something about it."

Jean next to him nodded, the two of them had traveled through most of the places that had been polluted by dust today, and finally came to the conclusion that the only means was the separation wall.

When the temperature drops at night, the construction dust is pushed into the agricultural base by the wind, and the flying altitude is between 20 and 100 meters.

In other words, if you want to curb it, you have to erect a 110-meter-high wall on the periphery of the agricultural base, which is not very good during the day, and once at night, when the sun goes out, the wind will push most of the dust particles into the agricultural base.

At present, only the middle layer of the east and the middle and lower layers of the west have been built and renovated, and the north of the south has not been renovated, and the terrain in the north is much higher than that of other places, and the harm will be aggravated in the future.

The cultivation of planting soil is a difficult and time-consuming project, and once the land is desertified, the desertification will become more and more serious as the area expands.

"It has to be done within a week, otherwise it's going to be even worse."

Ye Chunwang said, Jean squatted on the ground and lit a cigarette.

"I'll ask Werther to come up with a plan in 1 hour."

Ye Chunwang nodded.

"Let the gods come, there is no way to call too many workers now, and the Congress can't come up with this extra money, the length of more than 100 kilometers, it should not be difficult for you, to build in a week."

Jean smiled and nodded, now there is a light and shadow substance, only Rose needs to release the power, and the other six people continue to help carry it back and forth and use the mimic X to simulate the required material, which can indeed be carried out quickly.

"It doesn't take a week, it only takes 5 days."

Jean took out a ring from his pocket, and soon six screens of light and shadow appeared, and the six guys looked at Jean with solemn faces.

"There's no way around it, Witt, hurry up and get out the design drawings, as for the other guys, hurry up and start shipping materials, I'll ask Chubby to issue an urgent notice."

Ye Chunwang nodded, now there is no way, if there is no semi-permanent material that can be recycled at will, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Looking at the land behind him, which has been reclaimed for half a century, it was only some time ago that the comprehensive reclamation was finally completed, and it will take time for the land to recover in some places.

"If the factories in the west don't start working, the city will fall into a very embarrassing situation, and you have to do it as soon as possible.

"Xiao Ye, what is it that suffering brings to people?"

Ye Chunwang nodded, and then smiled helplessly, he knew what Jean wanted to say, there are always two sides to things, there is no absolute beauty, there is no absolute suffering, hope and suffering have always coexisted, and the city has been comfortable for more than 20 years.

Especially in these years, people in most areas can only live by relying on subsidies from all aspects of the region, or by collecting some rent and doing odd jobs, and they can enjoy everything safely.

There have been several labor shortages in the city, not because they can't recruit people, but because there are too many people who don't want to do it.

Even in a place like an agricultural base, which requires a large number of people to work all year round, it is rare for people to come to work in this place if they are not criminals or people who really can't survive.

The gods have always been very tough on the means of maintaining stable prices, and there has not been any serious inflation over the years, which is already a miracle, and there are many invisible dispatches behind it, and the gods will see everything in advance through AI all over the city.

It is always possible to introduce some corresponding laws and regulations when the city is moderate, so as to stabilize and effectively curb the price of goods in the city.

30 years ago, the price level was actually the same as now, in the past 5 cents an egg, to now some districts only need 4 cents, or even more than 3 cents, and in the past the bottom per capita wage of 150 to 200, now more than 500, an increase of about 3 times, and the middle level of 800 to 1000 wages in the past has risen to 2000, the upper level of the past 2000 or so wages, so far the average has reached more than 4000.

In the past, some tax revenue was used to subsidize it, and although there were often problems of corruption, in recent years it has been comprehensively and strictly curbed, except for the three subjects that have been marginalized.

During the 20 years of abundant material life, it was stable for everyone, but some people developed inertia because of it.

Nowadays, as soon as the subsidy for local taxes in the city is cut off, problems will ensue, and with the deepening of construction, most of them have bought houses, cars and many necessities of life in the comfortable years in the past, and those who live comfortably may not even have a dime in their pockets.

In the past, many people worked for half a year, and then recuperated for half a year, and even some people participated in crime in order to be more comfortable, and now the crime has been completely suppressed by the 5th Division.

In the past, some people who relied on petty theft and participated in crime and most of the people who lived comfortably had no financial resources, and this part of the population was nearly 4 million, and the proportion of the bottom was very serious.

In the past, when the ravines were not formed, one after another quarrying factories were in urgent need of a large number of workers, and there would always be different degrees of labor shortages, and the situation in the factories was the same, and the workers were often replaced, which had a certain relationship with the exploitation of workers by some factory owners, but as long as they moved their feet and went out for a walk, they could find jobs anywhere in the city.

The gods had announced this construction many years in advance, but the people remained indifferent, and now nearly 2 million people live on relief food.

The dilemma is that if prices are raised, it will cause a more serious impact on the city, and if prices are stabilized, they will create some lazy people.

Nowadays, problems are beginning to emerge one after another, but the only hope is for the factories in the west to start, and once the factories are opened, the cities will start to move rapidly again, and all walks of life will reach their peak.

Ye Chunwang looked at Jean, who was discussing things with other gods, and sighed helplessly.

Ye Chunwang's biggest concern now is that if the chaos continues like this after the construction, the gods will activate the civic hierarchy, which is a nightmare for many people, forcing everyone in the city to work.

Once this point is reached, the situation at the bottom may be even more serious.

Ye Chunwang slowly walked to some crops that were about to wither not far away, squatted beside the crops, patted some crops that were covered with dust, and soon cleaned up some of the dust, the plants were green, and he looked at the dark barrier area in the distance worriedly.

Although he has been away from the power center for a long time, Ye Chunwang has the right to check a lot of things, and what he is most worried about is that there are nearly 200,000 criminals living in the current barrier area.

This is based on the investigation report given by Section 3, especially in the more than a year that Alpha has been fighting crime, a large number of criminals have fled to the barrier area.

Coupled with the fact that private ownership of take-off and landing planes is now permitted, some of the criminals easily escape to the walled areas, and after a while they quietly return from the northwest to live in a large abandoned area in the west.

After discussing with the other six guys, Jean ended the call and came to Ye Chunwang's side.

"What's wrong Xiaoye, are you worried?"

Ye Chunwang snorted.

"It's the way Jean, Clark's kid is doing, and the way Latis is doing now, and the practice of this group of students in the city who have been trained by you, each subject has its own practice, although everyone can work with each other and can deal with most of the problems, but I always feel uneasy!"

Jean nodded and squatted next to Ye Chunwang.

"The darkness before dawn always makes people feel uneasy and tormented, Xiaoye, everything has two sides, some things have to be done by someone, just like reclaiming the land, in the process of land reclamation, a lot of things will happen, but in the end, the land that is reclaimed can grow food and feed everyone."

"It's just that you've thought about how cruel it would be without Jean? The process. ”

Jean smiled and stood up.

"The city has to move forward, you can't stop, if you stop, there will be no hope for humanity, the night is sometimes very long for many people, I can't answer you Xiaoye, many questions are the same, although we are gods in your eyes, we are not omniscient and omnipotent!"

Ye Chunwang nodded.

"I only hope that you will think about the matter of citizenship level, I know that you should have planned for it a long time ago, the matter of citizenship level."

Jean looked at Ye Chunwang with some surprise, and he said with a smile.

"During this time of my leisure, I once went to Li Chu, I heard from him, the matter of citizen rank, although I don't know the details, but this thing, although it can control a lot of things, but it is too cruel for people, what I can imagine is that every citizen level person, what can be done, is completely formatted and hierarchical, which is a very sad thing for us people."

Jean snorted.

"I don't approve of the civic hierarchy, but if there is a certain point, the problem will not be contained......."

Jean didn't finish his words with a solemn face, and Ye Chunwang stood up, because there were already five large take-off and landing planes coming towards this side in the distance.

5:45 a.m

Just when many people were about to go home and prepare to cook as soon as the call came, Locke's impromptu televised speech appeared on the Internet and in some places on the street, which was regarded as an emergency notice.

In order to prevent the increasingly serious construction dust pollution, the gods will build a 113-kilometer-long separation wall with a height of 120 meters on the periphery of the eastern grain base.

This speech informs all those in the vicinity not to panic, as the gods will use their own power to complete the construction independently, without any involvement of outsiders, but it is a serious warning that anyone who approaches the wall will be arrested if they find it.

As the news was broadcast, many people invariably looked to the east, at which time the sun's brilliance began to fade and much of the city had fallen into darkness.

When the last rays of sunlight dissipated, Sumerian trucks loaded with more than 100 workers slowly drove into a tobacco plantation site.

Luo Jun and Bayek got out of the car with other workers in the explanation of the person in charge, and there was nothing in many tobacco planting sheds.

The person in charge directly asked everyone to follow him to dinner, and after eating, he asked everyone to start work immediately.

Bayek was a little strange, because this place belonging to the family was sparsely populated, and along the way, he saw that there were almost no people in the land where many families planted.

"Let's go!"

Luo Jun smiled and walked briskly, Bayek looked at the facilities in the Sumerian family's plantation with some surprise, although the salary was low, it was much more comfortable than the bottom of the ground where she was.
