Chapter 400: Rongbian Province (1)
"Political Commissar Wu, what's going on with you?"
Li Qi looked at Wu Yuechuan, who was wearing a plaster cast on his neck and looked embarrassed, and he couldn't figure out what Wu Yuechuan was like.
Li Qi also didn't know what the current supreme commander of Musuguan had gone through to cause this situation.
However, Wu Yuechuan obviously didn't want to explain the situation to Li Qi, but after hearing Li Qi's words, he smiled bitterly, and then said: "Qili Town Committee, the situation is really difficult to explain, and the time is not early, do you think you have set off?"
Wu Yuechuan didn't say three sentences, and he talked about sending Li Qi south to Rongbian Mansion earlier.
"Well, okay, let's go. Regarding this, Li Qi only shrugged his shoulders, Wu Yuechuan didn't want to say it, so don't say it, Li Qi is just curious, and he doesn't really want to know the specific situation.
However, Wu Yuechuan hurriedly wanted to send him away, with an urgency to send the plague god, thinking about his movements in Musuguan yesterday, Li Qi had no complaints.
After all, it was good enough to make a mess of people who didn't do anything for a day, and Wu Yuechuan didn't show disgust on his face, and he was able to personally send him south to Rongbian Mansion.
"Then Political Commissar Wu, I wish you all the best in your future career. Li Qi saluted Wu Yuechuan with a military salute to say goodbye.
Wu Yuechuan, who was wearing a plaster cast on his neck, was stunned for a moment after listening to Li Qi's words, and then a helpless wry smile appeared on his face, but he still replied: "Thank you Qili Town Committee for your kindness, and I also wish you a smooth journey and safe and sound." β
Li Qi listened, nodded, and didn't say more, the two were not familiar with each other, and there was nothing to say, he turned around and boarded the vehicle behind him that had been ignited and warmed up for a long time.

On the way to escort him, although the momentum of the escort troops was quite large, they had already driven out of the city, and Li Qi also took a car to transfer to a predetermined place outside the city, so naturally it did not cause much reaction.
It's just that along the way, there is still a way to this road, and a few passers-by who are walking from south to north, as well as the carriage, consciously stop for the convoy of troops, and stop and wait for the convoy to pass by.
"Comrade, these people shouldn't be the citizens of the Northern Union, right?" Li Qi sat on the vehicle in the middle of the convoy, looking at the pedestrians and carriages passing by the window, the carriage, these things, he really didn't lie, he hadn't seen them for a long time.
And those people did not wear the down jackets, cotton clothes and other cold-proof clothes that everyone wore in Musuguan, and the clothes on their bodies were not even just one or two cloth clothes, Li Qi also caught a glimpse of an old man wearing only a single coat was leading a child with his clothes patched on the side of the road, the old man was carrying a bundle of valuable wood in his arms, the child's hair was fluffy, and the long hair covered his face, and he couldn't see whether it was a man or a woman, but the child stood on the side of the road, holding the old man's hands and kept covering his mouth and sighingγ
"Well, what you said is not wrong in what you said in the Qili Town Committee, these people are not the citizens of the Northern Union, but the citizens of the Qiguo who are going south. A soldier with a steel gun sitting next to Li Qi heard Li Qi ask him again, he looked out the window, and soon replied to Li Qi, "But these people seem that those carriages should have come to Muxuguan to do some business, and the old man and the child, I think it should be a poor person who can't survive from Qiguo, and he risked his life to cross the border and flee to Beilian here in order to survive." β
When Li Qi heard this, he turned his head and swept the grandparents and grandchildren who had not left his sight, and then Li Qi looked at the grandparents and grandchildren, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and quickly turned up his backpack, found his long-unused SLR camera from the backpack, turned on the camera, and quickly took a few photos of the grandparents and grandchildren, and then after Li Qi put away the camera, he asked: "Then they won't be here to work?"
Li Qi also had a general understanding of some of the situation here in Musuguan yesterday, and this Musuguan is also a person who has Qiguo, as long as he passes the inspection, he can enter and work.
After all, no matter how the population of Muxuguan is replenished, it is not Zhenbei Pass or Golden Avenue after all.
And for some official affairs that require a large concentration of labor, it is definitely far from enough for the people who come to Musuguan from Qiguo.
"Where will it be!" The soldier has his own great opinion on this, he may have seen too much of this situation, so he said bluntly: "Even if it is a worker, those projects will not recruit this kind of person, Qili Town Committee, you have not stayed in Musuguan again, you don't know that the people who come to Musuguan to do those jobs that concentrate labor are not those poor people who can't survive in the country, but those slaves who have been enslaved for generations by the powerful landlords in Rongbian Province." β
"I really don't know enough about this, so I'll examine myself first. Li Qi listened to the soldier's words, first examined himself, and then asked: "But what is the statement that those who come to work are all slaves of the powerful families?"
Li Qi is still very interested in this.
"When you talk about this, then I have a lot. The soldier seems to be unable to control his words and chatter at ordinary times, but the serious look just now seems to be just because he is sitting next to a big man like the town party committee in his eyes, so he is like this, and when this big man has no temper and asks him about some things, the soldier is like opening the conversation.
"At the beginning, after Musuguan opened up these policies, there were no poor people who came, all of them were adult slaves who had been brainwashed and could not absorb the powerful families who started the country, and the money earned by working was not from these slaves, but into the money bags of those powerful families, and then those powerful families took the money and began to buy luxury goods and all kinds of luxury utensils here at Musuguan, in short, they didn't care what was going on with those slaves. β
"But why are there no poor people?" asked Li Qi about the point.
And the soldier's answer shocked Li Qi's heart.
"That's because those who stay on the border of the country and those who want to come to Musu Pass to work and survive, they all come to kill one by one, and those who can pass the border come to Musu Pass to work, either those slaves of local families and powerful families, or those garrisons who have given money to the national border. β
"In short, the poor, even those who really can't survive, as long as they get to the border, they will be killed, and if they kill too much, not many poor people will dare to come here. β
