Chapter 204: The Game of Heavenly Selection (28)
With the help of the Shen family, it took a month to basically restore order in the old city, and by cutting off the important bridge between the old city and the new city, the city hall took the initiative to abandon the new city that was too large, reducing a large part of the burden.
However, the temporary stabilization does not mean that the town hall of the old town can be completely reassured. At the time of the first industrial revolution, there were only a handful of cities in the world with a population of more than one million, which means that in that era, a city could only sustain a population of hundreds of thousands. Now, the complete paralysis of power facilities is in fact dragging human scientific and technological civilization back to the time of the first industrial revolution. What is certain is that the city of NΓΌlun cannot afford to support a population of four million, or even a million. For the city hall of Newlun City, the population is a huge burden, and on the premise of ensuring basic order, these burdens must be slowly shaken off.
Of course, it is not possible to raise the butcher's knife, it will completely collapse the already fragile social order, and under a riot, the whole city will be destroyed, and no one will be able to get any good. For the town hall, the best way to deplete the population is to wage war against the wildlife in the Ganas Forest Park and the Chilizaro Mountains. The reason is simple and well-founded, wildlife is constantly invading the city, and everyone should step up to defend their homes.
If the plan goes well, in addition to reducing the population, it can also harvest a group of high-quality people who are brave enough to fight and have a relatively high level. Only with these pioneering and pioneering populations can the town hall organize the manpower to resume farming and breeding - after the world changed, all living things have changed, this is not the New World period, that flintlock gun can open up a plantation, and now it must have at least two levels of strength to hold the farmland. And that's not even taking into account the fact that all creatures are deepening in their mutation and strength.
Only when farming and animal husbandry are restored and food supplies can be ensured that social order can be truly stabilized. As for relying on the Sinai Federation to regulate and control, it is too unreliable, the Sinai Federation is originally a union of many kingdoms, and the power of each autonomous state and municipality is very large, correspondingly, the power of the Sinai Federal Government and the power that can be mobilized are very small. The whole world has changed so much, and every city is on the verge of chaos and collapse, in this case, what you can't rely on others can only rely on.
This was obtained by Yechen by exchanging information with other trialists, but she felt that the more plausible reason was that the scope of this mission set by the seventh space was limited to Newon City. There was a forest outside the new city where Yechen was located, and he didn't even think about leaving the city, as most of the trialists in the new city were. However, according to the information obtained from the trainers in the old city, the trainees who participated in this mission could not get out of the territory of Newlun City at all. It's not that there's an air wall or something, it's too unscientific, but the farther away from Newun City, the more dangerous wildlife you encounter. One step further is death, and of course you can't get out.
"Continuing with the contradiction between the new city and the old town." Yechen poured himself a glass of water and continued.
At first glance, the new city needs a population, and the old city is overpopulated, so it seems that they can complement each other, but the problem is that the city hall of the old city still wants to master the land of the new city, so they can't agree to Huorun and Yechen.
"And we can wait, the town hall in the old town can't wait." Yechen chuckled and said.
"Why...... Oh, I see. "Hurt rain understands.
The new city can wait for the city dwellers to grow up slowly, but the demographic burden of the old city must be thrown off as soon as possible. Nearly three million people! The amount of food consumed every day is simply astronomical. Before the world changed, there was a large amount of grain in the port every day, and the water transportation here is convenient, of course, there will be no shortage of food, and there are a lot of aquatic products to enjoy. But what about now? How long can the grain stored in the Shen family's warehouse be eaten? What is certain is that there is still a long way to go before the real social order is stabilized, and it will take at least half a year.
If it is a small village, even if it is a town, it can solve the problem of feeding a large part of the people by hunting. But what about a city? With a population of nearly three million, without farming and animal husbandry, can the wildlife in the Chilizaro Mountains afford to support millions of people? What's more, now that wild animals are so powerful, they really go to the mountains and forests, and it is not certain who will hunt whom!
"So, it must be the town hall of the old town that started the war?" Hurt Yu asked tentatively.
Yechen smiled and nodded, "Yes, the old city will definitely strike first." Now, tell me, how should we deal with our new urban area? β
"We ...... We ...... "Hurt rain tried to think, but I really couldn't think of it!" The town hall of the old town is a complete administrative organization, but what about the new town? The so-called various forces, as well as the divided spheres of influence, can be said to be polite, a joke at all! For example, according to the tacit understanding between them, the Sunset District belongs to the sphere of influence of the Soul Abyss Wizards Association, but in fact, what Yechen said was only listened to by herself and her two pets, by the way, there was also a Hypatia who had just joined. In addition, who would really listen to Yechen's orders from the professionals who lived in the Sunset District?
With such a loose alliance that has no strength, no organization, and no even knows whether it can be established, how can it resist the city hall's recovery of the new city?
Yechen smiled and said, "Think we don't have a good chance of winning?" β
Hurt Yu nodded honestly and said, "It's really not easy. β
Yechen looked out the window, it was pitch black, and said, "Yes, it's not easy, but it's not easy to do." It is said that the various forces in the new city are united......" Speaking of this, Yechen laughed and said: "Actually, there are only a few of us trialists, and the head-on confrontation is definitely a mantis arm as a car, but fortunately, the individual combat effectiveness of the trialists is good, and there is still a little chance to start from this aspect." β
"What chance?" Hurt Yu followed Yechen's train of thought and said, "Assassination?" If the main people in power in the old city were to be assassinated, it might have a good effect. β
Yechen held the cup in both hands and said, "What you said is a bit reasonable, assassination is indeed a way, but it may not have too good an effect. By the way, we can't directly confront the city hall in the old city, we can only borrow strength, where to borrow strength? β
Looking at Yechen's expectant eyes, Hurt Yu's brain began to hurt again, he was really not good at this!
Seeing that Hurt Yu looked like he was racking his brains but getting nothing, Yechen took the initiative to say: "Didn't you say just now, there is also a crisis in the city hall in the old city, what we want is to detonate this crisis in advance." β
Crisis...... Population...... Grain? That's right, food! Hurt Yu's eyes sparkled, and he said, "You want to start with the grain reserves in the old city?" "The order of the old city mainly depends on the armed forces in Bob's hands and the grain reserves of the Shen family, the armed forces are not easy to mess with, but the grain reserves have room for operation.
Yechen nodded, with a smile between his eyebrows, and said, "You say, what will happen if we burn the grain in the old city?" β
What will happen...... Thinking about that scene, Hurt Rain shivered and said, "That's ...... In that case, the people of the old town will hate us to death. β
"What about the new town? What will the residents of the old town think of the people of the new town? β
"There will be resentment as well, no less than resentment towards us." In this case, don't expect the residents of the old city to be sensible, they will definitely hate the house and the black, and resent it together.
"That's fine." Yechen put the cup back on the coffee table and said, "Actually, for us, it is not necessarily a bad thing to appropriately increase the survival pressure of the new urban area, it will help sort out our authority. β
Only when there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, will the professionals of the new city submit to their rule.
"Oh." Hurt Yu responded, but she was not very confident in Yechen's plan, according to her plan, it was equivalent to a few of them dragging the entire new city into the water, and the residents of the new city would really obey their rule?
It could be seen that there was doubt in the eyes of the injured rain, Yechen didn't explain again, but said: "You follow me, just listen and watch more." β
Hurt Yu nodded, she knew that she had to learn from the side now.
"By the way, I have good news for you." Yechen said, with a smile on his face.
"What's the news?" The rain hurt and sandwiched another piece of meat.
"The debt of the 10,000 psionic crystals we borrowed from Huorun can be relaxed a little."
"How much more relaxed?" Hurt Yu hurriedly walked over and asked enthusiastically, it's best not to pay it back.
"First of all, forget the interest or something, as long as Huo Run can get the principal of 10,000 psionic crystals, he will be satisfied." Yechen said, this is already a good preferential condition, and now it is only because Huorun needs his own support to establish an alliance as soon as possible that he will make concessions.
"In addition, there is no hurry to return it." Yechen said.
This is also good news. At the beginning, Yechen and Huorun agreed to repay the principal and interest after a month, but now it seems that it can't be done at all, if you don't want this account to force Yechen to the opposite side, Huorun must make a trade-off and relax the conditions.
"That's great." Hurt Rain was sincerely happy, although this debt was owed by Ye Chen, but Hurt Rain was more concerned, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When Hurt Yu finished dinner, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two planned to go back to their rooms to rest, Yechen asked, "By the way, is there anything worth noting recently?" β
Hurt Yu searched in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and said, "By the way, I suspect that there are already third-level professionals among the trialists. β
Yechen, who had already stood up, sat back on the sofa and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" β
Some time ago, when Hurt Yu went hunting in the Ganas Forest Park, he met a knight with a majestic two-handed sword, who was fighting a brown bear.
"That brown bear is so powerful that it can break a small tree with a slap, and if I encounter it, it will definitely be a life of escape. But that knight, not only can deal with the attack of the brown bear, but also seems to be relatively easy. So I suspect that the knight may be more than level two, and it is likely that he has been upgraded to level three. β
Hurt Yu paused and continued, "Out of curiosity, I watched from the side for a while, and saw with my own eyes that the practitioner killed the brown bear. During the whole process, he always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the outside world, and he should be a trialist, and only a trialist would be so cautious. β
If you don't deliberately cover it up, the difference between the practitioner and the ordinary person is still quite obvious, the practitioner who "crawled out of the pile of the dead" has special traces in terms of behavior, mentality, and even eyes.
Yechen thought in his heart and asked, "Are there many people like that...... I mean, is there a lot of Trialists who have been upgraded to Level 3? β
"How can there be so many!" "Many practitioners have just been promoted to level two, how can they be promoted to level three so quickly. As for the knight, I suspect he has any adventures. β
Yechen scolded with a smile: "It's still an adventure, you think it's here." β
"If it weren't for the adventure......," said Hurt Rain, considering the situation, "then it can only be said that the knight has given a lot." Now that I think about it, if I had been honing myself through battles as soon as I entered this mission world, I might have been able to move up to level 3. β
Yechen smiled and said, "How can there be the best of both worlds in this world." Ye Chen knew that Hurt Yu had lost a lot of time for fighting and sharpening because of his orders, but it was all worth it, besides, it was not necessarily a good thing that the level was so high.
"Have you heard? There are already trialists who have been promoted to level three. Yechen said to Huo Run.
In order to be able to successfully form the alliance, Huo Run's past few days have not been easy at all, constantly negotiating secretly with the trialists she selected, testing the truth and bargaining for their respective rights and obligations. Today, it's Yechen's turn, and Huo Run made an appointment with Yechen early in the morning.
The place where the two met was a cafΓ©, not the one where Huo Yun took Yechen to. The cafΓ© has been abandoned, the door has been destroyed, and the large panes of the windows have been shattered. Fortunately, the furnishings inside were quite complete, and there was a place to sit, so the two chatted casually.
Huo Run fiddled with the coffee machine behind the counter, thought about it, and said, "I've heard about it, but a few of them appear once in a while, and it's not a big problem." β
Yechen sat next to the bar and said, "It's not a big problem now, but I won't be clear in the future." β
Later? Let's talk about it in the future, in this situation, I don't know how things will develop in another month, Huorun found a few beautiful cups.
