Chapter 358: Prosperous Fangcheng Base

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again, and many plants in the south had already frozen to death because they were not adapted to the sudden cold, and the frozen plants and trees were transported away as firewood by the survivors who lacked fuel, or burned by fire.

Therefore, many places in southern Fujian, which originally had a high vegetation coverage, were bare, and there were still large traces of fires, which was particularly desolate.

Because the cold winter is approaching, many bases in the north are estimated to be unable to survive this winter, so they have organized a move to the south, and they have to give up the efforts they have made in the past two years and start over.

Moreover, the good places in the south have been occupied by the natives and previous immigrants, and now they can only occupy some relatively barren places in the past, and if they want more fertile land, they will inevitably contradict the original forces.

In fact, this contradiction has appeared many times as early as last year, just because the situation at that time was not fierce enough, after all, so many people died, there was a lot of abandoned land at that time, which could meet a large number of immigrants, and it can even be said that at that time, there was a lack of population in this area and the need for labor.

But now, the population here is saturated.

A population report in southern Fujian handed over to Fang Jinyan by Wang Caixia confirms this fact.

"Boss, we integrated the numbers provided by the population management systems of major bases, plus the sampling statistics of some small bases, and the final number was 4.3677 million, of course, because the population management systems of many bases are very disordered, and some small forces have no way to count, so the error of this number must be very large, but the error rate should not exceed 10%." Wang Caixia reported to Fang Jinyan.

"Hmm. I estimate that there should be 4 million, which is close to the limit of the current southern Fujian region. Fang Jinyan nodded and said.

"Probably not. I checked the relevant information, in times of peace. The total population of Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Putian alone in southern Fujian is more than 20 million......," Wang said.

"That's what can only be done with an extremely developed economy and a very stable society, and with the current situation here, four or five million is already the limit." Fang Jinyan shook his head and said.

"It's the same thing, because in the past, the north used to supply coal, oil, electricity and food, but now there is nothing left, and we have to produce it ourselves, but there are many resources such as coal, oil and iron ore. We are sorely lacking here, and it is no better than the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy of feudal times. Wang Caixia nodded and said.

"It's still much better, at least we have a great advantage over them in terms of transportation and information, and when the trade route to the north is completely opened up, the situation will be much better at that time." Fang Jinyan said.

"Isn't there less and less people in the north? Many large bases are already organizing their relocation to the south, including super large bases such as the Donghai base, so what is the point of business? Wang Caixia asked puzzled.

"The North has a lot of scarce resources in the South, and it will never be completely abandoned, even if most of the bases are evacuated. There will still be some people who will choose to stay. Fang Jinyan said.

"That's right, in the cold place of Greenland before, there were tens of thousands of Eskimos." Wang Caixia said.

Of course, it is estimated that there is not one left...... Either freeze to death or be forced to move south.

"Don't forget about the Evolver. Even if it is just the most ordinary evolutionary, they will have a much stronger ability to withstand cold than ordinary people because of the evolution of their physique. Fang Jinyan reminded.

"But let the evolver be the worker. Isn't it a bit of a waste to stay in the north to exploit resources? Wang Caixia asked.

"Waves are not wasted. It depends on whether the profit is big enough, as long as the profit is enough. Naturally, it's not a waste. And if you don't consider the social concept, the evolutionary body lì work, in fact, is much safer than going out to kill monsters, and with their physical strength and physical elements, the efficiency will be very high, of course, under normal circumstances, let them do the body lì work is indeed too tyrannical, but if it is some kind of scarce resource, it may not be the same. Fang Jinyan said.

"This is indeed very reasonable, and the proportion of ordinary evolutionaries is increasing, there is already a considerable base, according to our previous statistics, the total number of evolutionaries in southern Fujian has approached 100,000, accounting for more than 2% of the total population, and our Fangcheng base also has 3,528 evolutionaries, accounting for 6.2% of the total number, from this point of view, it is indeed very feasible." Wang Caixia thought about it carefully.

To be honest, she had never thought of using an evolutionary as a worker before, and she couldn't accept this idea at all, but now that she thought about it, it was really very reasonable......

As for why the proportion of evolutionaries in Fangcheng's base is far higher than the average, this is actually nothing curious, there is Fang Jinyan such a great god in charge, and the attraction of any evolutionary is fatal!

In the past few months, countless evolutionaries from all over the world have rushed to join the Fangcheng base, not only domestic evolutionaries, but also many evolutionaries who have crossed the ocean, and even black giants have rushed over from Africa.

This is still Fang Jinyan's more obedient words, and he made it clear from the beginning that he would only accept free evolutionaries, and would not accept evolutionaries registered in other bases - unless he got the written consent of the base - otherwise it would be countless times crazier......

But in that case, I'm afraid it will cause panic and hatred in all bases......

Fang Jinyan is a rule-abiding person, not because he is morally noble, but because a person who does not abide by the rules is difficult to gain a foothold, and he may benefit for a while, but he will suffer for a long time.

But no matter what, the power and influence of the Fangcheng base are expanding dramatically, and just by resettling the increased population, Wang Caixia and her girls are busy......

Wang Caixia applied to Fang Jinyan for additional manpower before, and also wanted a few boys, saying that there were some things that girls couldn't do, but Fang Jinyan refused, it wasn't that Fang Jinyan wanted to deliberately embarrass her, but no one gave it to her, there were more people, but there were more things......

Among other things, the construction of various facilities such as houses and evolution exercise halls for the addition of new evolutionaries requires at least a large number of laborers......

Of course, this is not that Fang Jinyan wants to support them, in fact, it can be regarded as an investment, and sooner or later it will be earned back from them......

Now they have asked for him, not him for them, and they are latecomers after all, if Fang Jinyan gives them too many benefits, it will not be fair to those who have followed him before, Fang Jinyan has all the wealth now without the credit of these people, and he will not forget this.

As for Wang Caixia's "girls can't do it", this sentence was completely ignored by Fang Jinyan......

After Wang Caixia said it herself, she immediately felt that this was so stupid, in fact, it was just some physical work, why couldn't she do it?

In fact, the Fangcheng base has preferential treatment for female survivors, and they are assigned to the administrative department as much as possible, which is a treatment that male survivors cannot enjoy, and many male survivors have a lot of opinions about this, feeling that this is gender discrimination and female privilege.

Of course, most men still understand, after all, women do have natural disadvantages in terms of physical fitness, and it is reasonable to be taken care of, and the most important thing is that many of them also have female relatives, and they don't want to see them do heavy work or go to war all the time......

The reason why I say "all the time" is because they actually do not work less, and when the project is busy, many female survivors in the administrative department also have to go down to the construction site to help with the work.

For example, when the city wall was repaired, the entire base could be said to be full of men and women, young and old, day and night, and even ordinary people worked for more than 20 hours in a row......

Wang Caixia personally took more than 20 girls to fight on the construction site for eight days and eight nights, eating and sleeping on the construction site.

Later, almost every month or two, there was a similar action, and everyone became accustomed to it.

This is an era when women are often treated as men and men as animals.

Sweatshops in peacetime are really nothing compared to this......

Of course, their hard work and struggle are also rewarded, they have witnessed the whole process of the construction and development of the Fangcheng base, from an abandoned and barren village, step by step to a prosperous base city with a population of 50,000 or 60,000 and more than 3,500 people.

And although they are very hard and tired, their treatment is many times better than that of other bases.

Fang Jinyan has a good way to make money, and uses the super protein crystals earned through various channels in exchange for batches of food, clothes, coal, gasoline and other important living and production resources, making the Fangcheng base seem to have become the most prosperous and lively city in the era of peace.

In the official hypermarket of the Fangcheng base, as long as you have enough grain, silver, super protein crystals or equivalent food coupons issued by the base, you can buy almost any material you want to buy, and for those who have the veteran or citizenship of the base, you can also enjoy the internal price, which is very fair.

Rice, flour, salt, vegetable oil, sugar, clothing and other important daily necessities, everything, and a wide variety, such as rice, there are fresh rice, one year old rice, two years old rice, three years old rice and more than four years of old rice......

The older the rice, the worse it looks and the worse it tastes, but because of its low price, it is more popular. For example, old rice that is more than four years old, which was stocked before the end of the world, is now twice as cheap as fresh rice, and is immediately sold out every time it is launched.

There are also many luxuries, such as fresh fruits, fresh pork, chicken, fish, and so on......

Generally, only evolutionaries or Chinese New Year will be willing to buy. (To be continued......)
