*****************************

Coming out of Chen Yuan's office, Liu Dong followed Chen Yuan's instructions, first took the old village chief and them to Zhang Fatzi to collect his mobile phone, open an identity account, and advance a month's salary for each. Nowadays, they have a lot of contribution points in their mobile wallets, and they can use them.

Today's Steel Castle is indeed very prosperous. With the gradual increase in population, the original few supermarkets are obviously insufficient, and the supermarkets are overcrowded every day.

So last month, Chen Yuan set aside a few areas in the Steel Fort to build a market, and built a lot of stalls, so that people in the settlement can rent stalls in the market for a small amount of rent and sell some extra things from their own homes.

This not only solves the problem of the lack of shopping places in the Steel Castle, but also enriches the variety of goods.

Outside the town hall, to the west of the town square, is a newly opened market. There are a wide variety of products here, from color TVs and refrigerators to toys and accessories, from fruits and vegetables to rice, flour, grain and oil. There are even food stalls that specialize in tapas.

As a result, the first batch of people in the settlement went to the sea to do business. They gave up their jobs in the settlements and chose to start their own businesses, even if they were just setting up stalls for the time being. But decades later, almost everyone who made such a decision at this time is glad that they took that step. That's a story for later, and I won't talk about it.

And in this regard, Chen Yuan is supportive. The development of commerce can bring great vitality to settlements, and it is also an indispensable and important part of human society. Therefore, even if the employment in the settlement is very tight now, Chen Yuan also supports workers to start a business, but the scale will be controlled to a certain extent.

And the means of control is the number of stalls. Residents are not allowed to set up stalls outside the bazaar, and although there is no city management here, the police will take care of everything (the police in the Iron Fort will take care of everything, such as murder and theft, fights, road occupations, noise disturbances, and even littering). Moreover, the stalls in the market can only be set up in fixed stalls, either a piece of cloth is spread on the roadside or a stall. This limits the number of people who operate.

"It's so lively here. It's the same as rushing to the market! Liu Dong and the old village chief took their first stop at the market on the west side of the municipal square. Before entering the market, the old village chief and a few of them were infected by the lively atmosphere here, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, although the end of the world was only three months, they really felt that they had not seen such a lively scene for a long time.

"Hey, hey!" Liu Dong, as a temporary tour guide, proudly introduced: "This is not too lively. It's daytime and most people are actually working. Most of the people who come here now are a few employees in the settlement who work three shifts in the factory, in the afternoon, in the middle and in the evening. In the evening, when most of the people get off work, it is called lively. ”

He continued: "According to yesterday's statistics, there are now almost 6,800 residents living in the Iron Castle. Excluding the middle and night shifts, nearly 5,000 people will rest at home at night. In addition, the TV shows in the current settlement are all DVDs of the past, and most of everyone has watched them, so it's not interesting. Therefore, many people will choose to drag their families out after dinner, and the night market is called a crowd. ”

"Really!" The two slightly younger ones on the old village chief's side immediately yearned for it after hearing this.

"Not really!" As they spoke, they had already entered the bazaar. The old village chief suddenly became as excited as if they were going to the market for the first time, and they couldn't stop looking at it and looking at it, so happy.

Young people, with money in hand, naturally want to buy this and that, not only for themselves, but also for gifts to go back and bring to everyone. However, after all, the old village chief is a person who has come over, and he knows that he wants to save money, not to mention that he will have to visit other places later, so he will not let them buy it casually when he sees that a few young people have already bought it in their hands. Rao is so, and these people are also very happy.

Coming out of the bazaar, Liu Dong also saw that they were carrying a lot of things, so he took them to the city hall first and put them down first. Then take them on a slow tour of several districts in the Iron Castle.

East Zone 1 is dominated by office space (town halls, courtrooms, police stations, fire stations, military intelligence bureaus, operational headquarters, etc.), residential areas for municipal workers, warehouses and some public facilities. It is also the liveliest of several districts.

Many of the buildings, such as the courthouse and the police station and the military intelligence department, were newly built with stone, brick and cement. Naturally, it is no longer a wooden house, but a multi-storey masonry building that is more sturdy and makes full use of the land resources.

Because of Chen Shusheng's preferences, these buildings are designed in the European Middle Ages, with blue brick floors, so the old village chief and they are walking in the East 1st District, which is quite a feeling of traveling to Europe.

Southeast District 1 and Northeast District 1 are still under construction, anyway, both districts are the same, Liu Dong only took the old village chief and them to visit Northeast District 1.

Now the Steel Castle is able to produce its own steel bars, so both areas are built with high-rise residential buildings with 8 to 12 storeys high, which saves building land. There are many construction teams here that are in full swing.

They then went to North 2 to visit the wooden dwellings. Since it was daytime, there were very few people. Liu Dong also took the old village chief and them to visit a room that was temporarily controlled.

The North 1st District is the factory area, and the South 1st District is the breeding area, where the old village chiefs also visited the industry and aquaculture of the Steel Castle with great interest. They were amazed and envious. In particular, although it has only been 3 months, the breeding of chickens and ducks has begun to take shape, which means that it will not be long before they can eat fresh chicken and duck meat. For now, however, they are able to obtain some fresh meat from wild animals from the hunting grounds to the north.

After this visit, it was already more than 12 noon, and it was just time for dinner. Liu Dong took the old village chief and them to the canteen.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, the dishes here suddenly surprised the old village chief. It's so hearty, game, fresh fish, canned meat, all kinds of vegetables, in such a cold winter, there are more than 30 kinds of dishes to choose from. It's good that the old village chief has concentration, but a few young ones have already drooled when they lined up.

The fish, of course, were caught by fishermen from the Nen River by local survivors. The impact of the apocalyptic virus on fish is relatively small, but the number of people who eat fish is much less, and the fish resources in Nenjiang are much more abundant than in the past. Fishermen go winter fishing, and they can catch a lot of fish in a single net. The fish are fat and big, so the fish in the settlement is now the cheapest.

In addition to the greenhouses on the east side of the Iron Castle, there are also all kinds of dried vegetables that the team used to make on the road, and many more.

This meal made the old village chief really full of fragrance, even the old village chief usually didn't eat too much, and today he also ate two big bowls of rice. That's called a happy. At the same time, they finally fully understand what it means to be treated as a resident of the Iron Castle! That's too much to say!

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Shuyuan and Zhang Fatzi had already prepared their personnel and materials, so they went back to the iron mine area with the old village chief. Looking at the truckloads of huge supplies, the old village chief and the others were once again glad for their decision. (To be continued.)
