Chapter 51: The Loneliness of the Arrogant (3)
Fear is the biggest weakness of the human heart, as long as you grasp this weakness, you can play with the human heart.
Therefore, Yi Qi knew that the middle-aged man would come, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the other party would come so quickly.
The next morning, while Yi Qi was still sleeping, there was a heavy knock at the door.
Weak... Naturally, I love to sleep in, no exceptions.
Of course, Yi Qi didn't want to get up, but out of the most basic professional ethics, he finally climbed out of bed very depressed, who is called Qiyi Office, which is a 24-hour office!
Subsequently, Yi Qi saw the middle-aged man, and also learned his identity - Qi Tian, the deputy mayor of Heijin City.
……
In addition to the mayor, there are five giants below, namely the deputy mayor, the police chief, the justice, the minister of mines, and the minister of human resources.
The structure of a 'city' level city is probably like this, after all, the city at this level, its industry... They are inseparable from minerals and industry.
As for the 'Big Five', it's just a joke, and when it comes to a higher-level 'city' city, they don't even count as.
But in the 'city' level cities, they are indeed well-deserved giants, at least... The ignorant people who are oppressed by them think so.
……
Here, let's talk a little bit about the 'Big Five'.
The Big Five are in charge of the five major departments of the 'city' level, and the deputy mayor is in charge of the industrial block, so... Matters relating to industry are under the management of the Deputy Mayor.
The police chief is in charge of law enforcement, so in addition to the police station, he is also in charge of departments such as transportation, urban management, fire protection, taxation, etc., so to speak... As long as there is anything that has anything to do with law enforcement, it is under the control of the police chief.
The Chancellor of Justice is in charge of the judiciary, the Minister of Mines is in charge of the Mineral Blocks, and as for... Minister of Human Resources, he is responsible for the recruitment of freedmen from the 'town' level and the distribution of manpower.
For a 'city' city, there will never be enough labor, after all... In a small city like Black Gold City, 1,800 people die every year in a mining accident or other accident.
Of course, people who really know the inside story often call this 'normal' consumption, and if the population is not consumed quickly, how can it usher in the demographic dividend?
As for... The number of people or something, in fact, there is no need to worry about it at all. The Federation's science and technology are very developed, similar to the cultivation technology of IVF, which has long been developed to the extreme.
As long as the population of the federation declines to a certain level, the seven state governments will send tens of millions of IVF to the 'town' level cities.
And the city at the level of 'town'......
Although the attitude of cities towards technology is self-cherished, agriculture is the exception.
There is no shortage of food in the federation, and every city can be self-sufficient, so why spend a huge amount of money to establish a 'town' level city with agriculture as the main focus?
The reason is simple.
Rather than thinking of the 'town' as a city, it is better to think of it as a large breeding base, the purpose of which is... It is to cultivate more 'talents' and 'labor' for the federation.
Every IVF delivery is a gluttonous feast of demographic dividend, and the 'city' and 'government' will divide the 'talents' that are unique in 10,000, and the remaining 'labor' will be divided by each 'city'.
However, federal law also made it clear that freedmen had complete freedom, so the way of partition was slightly changed to one that attracted freemen with welfare.
Of course, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.
In very special circumstances, freedmen can also buy and sell, but... The chips traded are not federal coins, but federal credit, and as for the freedmen who are bought and sold, most of them are geniuses with special abilities.
In the Earth Federation, the Federated Coin... It is only the currency used by inferior people, and any city has its own coinage rights.
However, the federal credit score is different, because it is one of the thirteen articles of the Magna Carta of Humanity. Chaos is under unified jurisdiction.
So in this day and age, a merchant will always be a merchant, because there is only one way to get credit – to contribute to the Federation, not to see how many people you exploit for their contributions.
By the way, credit can be used for trading, but it cannot be inherited, and the law of subtraction applies to transactions.
……
Looking at the opposite side of the table, the deputy mayor who was not angry and arrogant, Qi Tian, Yi Qi couldn't help but yawn loudly.
Although the other party is one of the Big Five, Yi Qi still doesn't have much respect at all, after all, he is also one of the citizens of Black Gold City, and the citizens of Black Gold City are in their early teens.
Therefore, Yi Qi is really not afraid of Mr. Deputy Mayor.
As for... At most, the name of the Big Five is to scare and frighten the ignorant freedmen.
In fact, the gap between Yi Qi and Qi Tian is not as big as imagined, the two are both citizens of Heijin City, but Qi Tian is better mixed and mixed into the position of deputy mayor, while Yi Qi is worse mixed, and even his father's factory was sold.
As for yesterday's events.
Soliciting, naturally, be more enthusiastic, and now... But Qi Tian has asked for himself, since the supply and demand have changed, then the positions of the two should naturally be reversed.
Fortunately, Yi Qi is not a stingy person, and he will not retaliate or anything because of yesterday's unpleasantness.
Anyway, everyone Qitian is a scarce test product, and there is always a little bit of preferential treatment, besides... Early in the morning, people run to throw themselves into the net, and they can't be too demanding, right?
What's more, Yi Qi and Qi Tian are not all the way.
The Deputy Mayor... Those who eat people don't even vomit bones, but Yi Qi is different, he is a civilized person, and he is a good young man in the new century, so he can't swallow bones, at most he eats people......
……
Seeing Yi Qi yawn loudly, a faint trace of anger flashed in Qi Tian's eyes.
"Mr. Ichie, is this your hospitality? I came here alone and early in the morning and it seemed... It's enough to show my sincerity. ”
"I understand, I understand!" Yi Qi yawned again, and stretched by the way, and said, "You came to me early in the morning, just because you didn't want the idlers to know about what happened to you."
Isn't it? My Lord Mayor?
I've heard that you've been in a bit of a falling out with the police chief lately, so he's been checking on you all the time.
And yesterday, the reason why you went to the crematorium was mainly to see off your assistant, Xiongbatian, for the last ride.
He's so pathetic! At the age of 32, he died of overwork. So God tells us a truth, don't be too greedy, and... Don't be too overbearing.
It's called the Hero... It may not be able to dominate the world, and it may not be able to live with the sky!
You tell me? My Lord Mayor? ”
