Chu Jungui and Li Xinyi walked on the long dilapidated street, and in the shadows on both sides of the road, some people could be seen looking at them with malicious intent, and these people were wandering around the neighborhood in groups of three or five, as if they didn't need to work.

The buildings inside the block are also dilapidated, with many windows sealed with steel plates and a layer of sealing film to achieve an airtight effect. In the highly developed 35th century, the price of natural wood was much higher than that of steel sheets. None of the buildings in the area seem to be able to afford containment covers, and a few still remain, but they are clearly damaged for a long time.

A garbage station appeared in front of the two of them, and next to them were seven or eight people sitting or lying against the wall. The garbage disposal station is the only place in the entire neighborhood that can be connected to Xihai City, where garbage is automatically compressed, processed on site, and turned into recyclable raw materials.

The energy lines are constantly dissipating heat, making them an excellent place for homeless people to protect themselves from the cold of the night.

"Why are there so many poor people in this world?" Li Xinyi suddenly asked.

This is a good question, Chu Jungui activated the political component for 1 second, and came up with 10,086 answers, with different emphases. And then the political component, just as soon as it couldn't wait to speak, was ruthlessly shut down.

In Li Xinyi's eyes, Chu Jungui only thought for a moment and replied: "Do you want the reason for the pan-star field, or do you look at the problem from the perspective of the planetary division of labor, or are we just considering the local area of Xihai City?"

"There's a difference?"

"The difference is huge. Chu Jungui nodded.

Li Xinyi thoughtfully, glanced at Chu Jungui deeply, and said, "Let's talk about the planetary division of labor first." ”

"Quite simply, most planets are only exploitable, not habitable. Take the Nemonstar where we are now, the environment is already quite friendly, but the air is still not breathable, and the building needs to be airtight or build an isolation cover, which leads to a significant increase in the cost of resettlement. On other, worse planets, the cost of resettlement can be thousands of times greater than that of the parent planet. ”

"However, when a planet's mineable resources are exhausted, it loses its value and can only be sustained by subsidies from the central government. After all, most industrial stars are not self-sufficient. From a dynastic point of view, it will only give enough necessary supplies to sustain life, but within the planet, these materials must be unevenly distributed, and the poor will be created. ”

Li Xinyi asked, "Then why don't you withdraw people from the abandoned resource star?"

"The cost of removing a person is much higher than subsidizing supplies. Generally speaking, the cost of evacuating one person is enough for 1,000 people to live to death on the planet. Therefore, whether it is a dynasty or a federation, the number of evacuation places given each year is always very limited. Besides, there are always people who don't want to leave. ”

Li Xinyi sighed and said, "It's so realistic!"

"Politics has always been realistic. ”

Li Xinyi looked at the people snuggled up to the garbage dump to keep warm, and said, "Why don't I buy this block?" Give them jobs and food." ”

Chu Jun was stunned, he never expected this little guy to be so rich, and he was in awe at the moment.

However, as a governess, the necessary persuasion, or discipline, must still be had.

Chu Jungui cleared his throat and said, "This is not necessarily a good idea. ”

"Why?"

"They don't necessarily want that change. ”

"How is that possible? Who would want this kind of life?"

Chu Jungui pointed to the homeless man and said, "First of all, they don't necessarily have no jobs. Secondly, many people have adapted to the place even if they don't have a job. You've remodeled entire neighborhoods and can't make them happier. ”

"Aren't you happy to have a place to live and something to eat?"

Chu Jungui smiled and said, "Being poor is not the same as being unhappy. Perhaps it will be even more unhappy to have them diligently do the work you offer. ”

Li Xinyi glanced at Chu Jungui and said, "I hope what you said is right." I'll see for myself. ”

Chu Jungui shrugged, and it was enough to say this. Everyone will have a different understanding of politics and different trade-offs. Most of the time, it's a choice between a few less bad consequences.

As soon as the two of them passed by the garbage station, they saw several people standing against the wall behind the garbage station. One of the tattooed men stood up straight and shouted, "Stop!"

Li Xinyi's eyebrows were raised, and she wanted to be angry, but was stopped by Chu Jungui.

The thug took out a pistol from his waist, aimed it at Chu Jungui, and sneered: "I heard that you killed the old bald? You are quite bold! But I am not the same as the old bald kind of waste, do you see what this is? Modified pistol! Look at this carving, look at this caliber, have you heard of a 12.7mm pistol? You be honest with me, or I will make a hole in you! What is in your bag, take it out and take a look!"

Chu Jungui opened his handbag, reached out and fished it out, and there was an extra double-barreled shotgun with a sawn short in his hand. The deep muzzle of the gun was aimed at the four gangsters, and the luster was particularly hideous.

"I've never heard of a 12.7mm pistol, and all I have in my hand is this little guy from Remington's export. By the way, it was also filled with modified ammunition, which was originally not used to hit people, but to tear down walls. ”

The faces of several thugs gradually turned gloomy, and the man led by slowly squatted down, slowly put the 12.7mm pistol on the ground, and then slowly raised his hands and stood up tremblingly.

The four thugs leaned their backs against the wall, eager to squeeze themselves in. This thing that Remington came out of was demolished back then, and now the wall is being torn down, and it was never used to beat people. Even if someone is hit, it will not delay the demolition of the wall.

"Take out all your weapons and put them on the ground. Chu Jungui ordered.

The thugs obediently complied, after all, no one wanted to be demolished as a wall. Most of the weapons they took out were iron rods, daggers, machetes, pistols, etc., and the guns were all old-fashioned pistols, not high-end modified goods like the bosses.

Chu Jungui walked around in front of them, stepped on all the pistols into parts, and then waved the shotgun in his hand and said get out.

The 4 thugs were like being amnestied, holding their heads and running away.

Li Xinyi stared at Chu Jungui's handbag curiously, "When did you secretly get a Remington? If I'm not mistaken, the model with the special ammunition is a controlled product." ”

"As your teacher, my life is in danger at all times, so your family gave me a defense. ”

Li Xinyi looked at Chu Jungui coldly, "I have a feeling now, even if the world is destroyed, you will not die." ”

Chu Jungui just wanted to be modest, so he heard Li Xinyi add: "You must be a little strong." ”

Chu Jungui completely lost the thought of hearing praise from her mouth. He put the shotgun into his bag, restored his harmless appearance to humans and animals, and continued to walk forward with Li Xinyi.
