After the banquet, Chu Guang received a lot of gifts.

Although the vast majority of survivor settlements gave gifts to him personally, Chu Guang accepted them in the name of the Alliance.

"…… This sword was my eldest brother's sword, and the king gave it to his son when he was full moon, and he has been with him for as long as he can remember. He asked me to tell you that the kingdom of Honey Irrigation is willing to be the blade of the Alliance, and that the enemies of the Alliance are our enemies. ”

Handing the sword in his hand to Chu Guang, Avne looked at him intently, and then handed it over—a shield with the honey badger royal family emblem carved on its face.

"This shield is a gift from my second brother to you, and he asked me to convey his exact words to you, and the honey pour kingdom sense as the shield of the alliance, and we will guard the threat from the west for you, and our friendship will be as strong as steel.

Taking the shield from her hand and putting it aside, Chu Guang said in a solemn tone.

Thanks to your gifts, the friendship between the Alliance and the Honey Irrigation Kingdom will be as strong as steel, and I sincerely hope that your two brothers will be on good terms, handle their internal affairs properly, and live up to the trust placed in you by your inhabitants. ”

The honey badger royal family is beloved by the local residents.

Otherwise, after the legion comes, there will not be so many people to resist, and even follow Yad into exile to the Lion Kingdom to form a restoration army, Chu Guang does not intend to interfere in their affairs, but the premise is that it does not turn into a bloody conflict. I believe that Yard and Summer should have a plan in their hearts. I will take your teachings to heart and exhort them when appropriate. Avne's bowed slightly.

After a moment's pause, she turned and retrieved the red silk that had rested under her sword and shield. It was only at this time that Chu Guang realized that it was originally a cloak, and couldn't help but tease.

"You are the only force that has given us three different congratulatory gifts, and we will cherish this friendship."

"This is my gift." Avney blinked, slightly thanked me and said, "Thank you for imparting my knowledge and taking care of me all the time. Don't be angry, the colleagues you work with have a high opinion of you, and we can't take care of it. ”

Glancing at the mountains of gifts piled up behind him, Yiguang's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile, "I plan to build a museum in Dawning City, and put all the gifts in it as a testimony of our friendship for residents from all over the world to enjoy." "

After that, he also plans to build a zoo to contain the xenos captured by the players, including Deathclaw, Youkai, and so on.

It would be great not only to use it for scientific research, but also to educate new players and residents who have never traveled far before, and to show how strong the alliance is.

Personally, Avne's heart was quite regretful, but after thinking about it, a cheerful smile quickly appeared on her face. Maybe that's not a bad idea......

In addition to the gifts of the Honey Badger Kingdom, the Lion Kingdom gave the alliance a hundred tall and mighty war horses. You can't put this thing in a museum, you have to wait for the zoo to plan and put it in.

In the rough field, horses are faster than bicycles to form a sufficient deterrent and not want to scare people like death claws.

The Golden Lizard Kingdom gave Chu Guang a 1:1 restored golden bust, and it is said that the gold used was melted from the Legion's Dinar. Although they are vassals of the Academy, they are also optimistic about the market of the River Valley Province.

The Hump Kingdom sent the Alliance, a mechanical clock set with only blood diamonds, to thank the Alliance for their immediate assistance in the Lost Valley's military operations, and to demonstrate their wealth and the skill of their skilled craftsmen.

Compared with the royal family with their own thoughts, the gift of the enterprise is more pragmatic. On behalf of the Council, Wu Changnian gave Chu Guang a four-wheeled off-road vehicle nearly three meters high.

The chassis is framed by large tires, the structural material of the body is lightweight special steel, and the glass is a special bulletproof glass that is said to block the fire of light Gaussian weapons.

"I see that you wear power armor all day long, you should like this muscular big guy," in front of the door of the auditorium, Wu Changnian patted the hood of the off-road, and said with a smile, "This is a product of a subsidiary of Changge Group, V-100 "Tiger" off-road, you can use it as a wheeled armored vehicle." There was one sentence he didn't say.

If you think it's easy to use, it's okay to buy more, unlike large planes, which are not on the technically sensitive list. Chu Guang looked at the big guy with an admiring expression, and then looked at Wu Changnian and asked. "Can this car fly?"

Listening to Fang Chang and the mole, the cars of Ideal City can fly in the sky. He's more interested in that technology. Wu Changnian coughed lightly.

You don't have a maglev roadbed here...... We didn't put the maglev device on. But even if there is, I don't recommend flying in the sky with this thing, the steel structure car is still a bit heavy. ”

However, it is precisely because of this that you can sit in it even if you are wearing power armor. 6s1u8v:k/s6R can even sit four. Staring at this off-road vehicle, Chu Guang suddenly said with emotion.

"I just said that I was going to build a museum and put all the delegates' gifts in it."

"We are pragmatists, and it would be a pity if a product was not used. You can put a car key first, and then put the whole car in when it is old, I think this will be more meaningful and more proof of our friendship," Wu Changnian shook Chu Guangdi's hand and said with a smile, "The cooperation with you this time is very pleasant, and I hope that the same will be true in the future, and we can work together to explore a better future." Chu Guang shook his hand vigorously and said with a smile. "Definitely!"

Later he planned to give the car to the Guards Corps.

If it works well, he will consider importing a few more vehicles from the Changge Group and distributing them to the departments and corps in need. Of course, if the reverse work of the Dawn City Industrial Zone on the college's "taming" belt car goes well, this foreign exchange expenditure can be saved.

The large-scale war has ended, and the progress of research and development of tanks, artillery, and other heavy equipment can be slowed down a little. According to Chu Guang's plan for the alliance army headquarters, the next stage of equipment research and development will revolve around miniaturization and special operations.

That is, the details that are omitted or simply skipped before perfecting.

In short, not only the allies and partners of the Alliance, but also Boulder City, Junk City, the Red River Alliance, and even Chu Guangtou, the Dam City that I heard about back up, also sent a big gift to the Alliance.

However, what made Chu Guang most happy was not the gifts from the other survivors' settlements, but a "big gift" brought to him by Xiao Yu who returned from Camp 101.

"Xiao Yu and Pai also have a special gift for Brother Chu...... It's not a precious thing, though. "Browse room on the Vault 404 floor. Xiaoyu's face was flushed, and he said shyly with an embarrassed smile.

And Pai, who was standing next to her, couldn't wait to hand over the thumb-sized hard drive in his hand, and said triumphantly.

"You've finished what you want, feel free to use it" By the way, you can use the holographic computer I sent you to see, if there is anything that needs to be improved, just tell me!" That expression. I almost didn't write Kuaye on my face.

It's so amazing!" Chu Guang took the hard drive from her hand with a smile on his face, and fulfilled her wish with kindness, "Thank you, you have helped a lot." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face bloomed with a happy smile, but soon he seemed to realize something, looked at Pai on the side in surprise, and asked in a low voice. Wait a minute...... Didn't you say you wanted to surprise Brother Chu? How did it become Brother Chu, please let us do it. On his face, Pai subtly looked away and muttered in an embarrassed whisper. "I think you'll be a little more motivated this way...... "Even the speed at which you learn things has become faster."

Xiao Yu stared at her and raised his eyebrows, his expression as if he was really angry. You're a liar!"

During her time at Camp 101, she had always considered Pai to be her best friend, but Pai had lied to her for so long!" Mingming......... It's me who is bad, I'm sorry! Don't dare next time!"

Unable to stand the serious and serious expression of his best friend, Pai looked at Chu Guang for help, hoping that he could help him.

However, Chu Guang's attention at this moment was completely attracted by the azure light projected by the holographic computer pen, and he dragged his index finger around the screen with interest.

Long before the war began, he asked Camp 101 to help develop a set of bond credit contracts and a supporting trading system that would suit the current economic rules of the Alliance. At that time, this system was intended for the issuance of war bonds, with the purpose of "making the allocation of social resources more efficiently to the war machine of the Alliance." "

It's just that Boulder City borrowed a large amount of money from him, and the company gave him loans and subsidies, so he delayed this tool for cutting non-vegetables. If he can achieve his goal by wronging others, Chu Guang will definitely not wronged his own people. Only by uniting our own people can we unite more people.

And now the reason why he has moved this set of tools out is on the one hand to allow more residents of the alliance to share the dividends of economic development, and on the other hand, to further thin the wool of the neighbors.

The alliance will issue two sets of bonds.

One set is domestic debt paid in local currency, which is used to recover the excess liquidity generated by large-scale infrastructure investment, and incidentally, a portion of the social wealth generated by infrastructure is distributed through interest to the majority of ordinary survivors who are unable to participate in the direct beneficiaries.

The other is foreign debt paid in foreign currency, and the foreign currency raised is used to buy goods in the market where the currency is located, to curb inflation in the local market of the alliance, and to export excess liquidity in the local market.

It's like two kegs of beer.

As the person who "distributes the drinks", Chu Guang can decide to a certain extent which barrel to put the genuine beer in and where to put the foam that the beer brews out. Although there have been such financial instruments in the history of the People's Federation, the current situation is different from the past after all, and it is obviously not feasible to copy them rigidly. Xiao Yu served as the president of the Union Bank for a while.

Although her daily work is only a silver coin cashier, she has to deal with grassroots people from all walks of life, including players, every day.

Coupled with her sensitivity to numbers and a talent for mathematics, she has the most intuitive sense of the economic operation of the alliance, but she lacks the relevant knowledge to match it.

Chu Guang's purpose in sending her to study in Camp 101 was not only to make up for the shortcomings of her professional knowledge, but also to hope that she could combine the actual situation of the alliance and cooperate with the researchers of Camp 101 to better complete this work.

Later, it was estimated that the technical content of the project was too low, so Professor Aven gave the job to his student Pai. On the one hand, Pai has a high level of attainment in the fields of programming, electronics, and mechanics, and on the other hand, she has a good relationship with Xiaoyu. And the efficiency of the cooperation between the two is as Evan expected, and it has indeed achieved good results.

"Not bad! Basically, there is not much to change, and the maintenance and update of the trading system will be handed over to Xiaochai to manage, thank you for your hard work!" Swipe your index finger lightly.

Chu Guang, who turned off the holographic screen, looked at the two sitting opposite the sofa, but saw that Xiaoyu was staring at Pai intently and sulking, and couldn't help but be stunned. "What's wrong with you?"

"Hmm...... It's me who is wrong," Pai glanced at Chu Guang with a weak heart, and took the initiative to admit his mistake and said, "I told Xiaoyu before that I would give it to you as a gift when you came back from the front line, but I didn't tell her that you actually asked me to do it. ”

Hearing her explanation, Xiao Yu's brows tightened. "Isn't the point that you lied to me for half a year?"

Woo woo...... "I didn't expect my apology to have the opposite effect, and Pai shrank back, and the whole person became smaller.

Looking at Pai cowering, Chu Guang couldn't help but laugh a little. Although he knew that it was not good to gloat when he returned, it was probably the first time he had been in the wasteland for so long to mediate such a simple conflict. Of course, this is not a trivial matter that can be perfunctory.

Xiaoyu's personality is very similar to her second brother Yu Hu, the good saying is simple and serious, and the bad saying is stubbornness and admitting death, sometimes it is like a donkey, and it can't be pulled back. With such a character, she can easily trust others, but once she is deceived, she can be very hurt, even if it is just a white lie. "Pai."

"Huh?" Hearing Chu Guang call his name, he didn't know what to do with Pai, and looked up at him cautiously.

You're a very smart girl, and while you're not a resident of the Vault, your talent is not inferior to anyone here, not even more than that, otherwise Dr. Method wouldn't call you a genius and give you valuable chips. If I were to judge, your talent would be enough to impress the people there in any settlement. she

Looking at Pai, who looked apprehensive and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth proudly, Chu Guang took a deep breath and continued patiently. "But I don't think you're doing the right thing."

Why ......" The hiss collapsed, and Pai muttered in a grieved look in his eyes, "I just... Seeing that she is so eager to become a very powerful person, do you want to help her as soon as possible?"

Chu Guang looked at her seriously.

"I believe that you value Xiaoyu very much, and you care about your friendship with her, and want to stimulate her potential, but we can't completely ignore the means to the end just because the result is correct and the original intention is good...... In fact, Bichao made up a non-existent fact, you can communicate with her, right? If you treat her as a friend, and not as an entourage, or as an accessory; Of course, geniuses have the capital of pride, but if you don't pay attention, pride can easily turn into arrogance. Most of the shelters' predicaments are not unprepared, but arrogantly believing that everything will be fine as long as the unintelligent people listen to them. If Paj had matured a little more, he would have told her more specific experiences for Dr. Method.

For example, it is always more tactful to selectively retain a part of the truth than to lie, and even when you have to lie, you must include some promises that can be kept. But these experiences were too early for her. I didn't! I've never treated small fish as an appendage to me!"

Finally realizing what was wrong with her, Pai looked at Xiaoyu, lowered her head and said sincerely, "I was wrong, I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have hidden it from you. This time, Xiaoyu's brow finally stretched a little.

Although her personality is a little stubborn, she is not the kind that is unforgiving.

She could sense that Pai wasn't deceiving herself with malice.

In fact, she also regretted that she had lost her temper just now. At least the other party is thinking about himself, and maybe he should also express the unhappiness in his heart in a gentler way. Chu Guang looked at Xiao Yu and said softly.

Can she be forgiven? She has already sincerely apologized. ”

"Yes, but ...... Don't lie to me next time. Whispering, Xiao Yu walked down the steps given by Chu Guang and removed his aggressive gaze from Pai's face. Uh-huh, I promise!" Pai immediately raised his little hand and nodded vigorously.

At the sincere gaze of his partner, Xiao Yu's face flushed slightly and nodded slightly. That...... Forgive you. Looking at the two who had reconciled, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile on his face.

Xiao Chai, who was on the desk, snickered twice and whispered in his ear through the headphones. "It's worthy of the master, it's quite good at coaxing people!" Chu Guang smiled and whispered a cow in Mandarin.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I didn't graduate yet, but I actually wanted to be a teacher."

Although he is not a normal major, but the science is good, he worked as a tutor when he was a part-time worker, both students and parents like him very much, and a girl even swore that she would apply for his school, although the score line of Jiangcheng University was too high that year, and it was a pity that he was not admitted.

Before graduating, he thought about whether he would simply take the teaching qualifications and become a math teacher or a physics teacher or something in the future. Xiao Chai paused for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

Read......? But didn't you say, master, that you were a salesman before?"

"Yes," Chu Guang smiled faintly, "So you see, what you want to do and what you are doing are actually completely different things, people are such a contradictory animal, it is difficult to understand with programmatic thinking." Xiao Chai tilted his head. I don't think it's hard to understand. "

Is it? Probably you know me best. "

Casually replied, Chu Guang looked at the hard drive in his hand, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up with a smile.

welcome

The last brick has been put up.

It depends on how the other party takes the call.

Xiao Ran blinked his eyes and looked at Chu Guang intently.

Although it doesn't know what its owner intends to do, its intuition tells it that many people may be in bad luck......

On the first day of the celebration, the busiest place in Dawning City, in addition to the road from North Street to Triumph Square, is probably the resident registration office of the guard.

On the second day of the celebration, the resident registration office of the Union Guard submitted a report to Chu Guang through the office system. As of the end of the day, a total of 2,711 new residents had been registered at the Civil Registration Office. This is probably the highest peak in recent times

Of these, 1,201 applied for settlement on the basis of displaced persons.

Most of them have no money or special skills, some are attracted to the prosperity of the Alliance, some are attracted to the culture of the Alliance, and some are simply hot on the wrist and decide to end their wandering life and make this the last stop in the wasteland.

Under the Union-Consistent approach, residents who settle as displaced persons are first granted the status of "supervised persons", with limited resident rights and resettlement in displaced homes. The homeless house provides them with free dormitories and food, requires them to participate in labor and study arranged courses, and converts them to general residents for a period of up to six months. For them, the homeless house is more akin to a school.

And the remaining 1,510 people are mainly residents of Boulder City. Some of them are engineers, some are ordinary workers, and they have been living in the Union for a long time because of their work, they have savings and work skills, but they have been dragging their feet and not going through the formalities.

And the reason that prompted them to make up their minds to complete the formalities was largely because of Chu Guang's speech on Triumph Square. No way.

He gave too much.

It's not easy to live in the wasteland, and people usually don't expect a lot. They don't care who is right in the legions, corporations, or academies, and who can keep them from starving and freezing, they are willing to regard them as gods or saviors.

No one had ever been as willing to put himself in the shoes of ordinary survivors like that man, and to think about them so much.

In particular, Chu Guang mentioned that many of the benefits of the alliance in the future will be linked to the identity of residents, and only residents of the alliance can hold real estate as individuals. Since you have decided to settle here, it is naturally better to get your certificate as soon as possible.

What Chu Guang didn't expect the most - even unexpectedly, there were several residents of Ideal City who also applied for resident status! It is obviously impossible to attract them because of the benefits of the alliance, after all, no matter how good the benefits here are, they cannot compare to the ideal city, and they can even be said to be far worse. 1 However, the Resident Registration Office did not issue them a resident card. Although the barrier to entry for a federation to obtain residency is low, it does not mean that there is no barrier at all.

Under the current rules, anyone can apply for residency status, but the application requires more than six months of work for a company or entity with the relevant qualifications, or six months of work for a government-run non-profit organization.

The investment settlement plan will be more stringent, with specific requirements on the number of employees, business scale, industry type and business time, and it is not as fast as opening a company to obtain relevant qualifications and then hire, or receiving resettlement as a displaced person.

As soon as they returned to the alliance, they obviously did not meet these conditions. But two of the lads didn't give up.

According to the head of the resident registration office, they were even more motivated after being rejected, saying that they planned to apply for a job as a teacher at the homeless house, teaching the wastelanders there to read and count, and proving that they were not just joking.

To be honest, whether it was the person in charge of the resident registration office who reported this matter or Chu Guang who listened to the report, they all felt that the two young men were idle and playing, and they might feel bored with life in the wasteland in two days.

But it is not excluded that they may have been really moved by the story of the Trailblazer, inspired by the speech at Triumph Square and the social ideas of the Alliance, and wanted to help the people here do something. Either way, it's a good start.

The festival lasts for three days, but that's for the average resident.

The next day, Chu Guang spent almost all of his time in busy affairs and mountains of reports, and was complained about by Boss Xia for this. But Chu Guang didn't care. I'm a little tired now, but also to be more relaxed in the future.

Some things are like the road to Metropolis Skylines, and if you don't plan it out at the beginning, it's only going to get more and more troublesome later. The third day of the celebration.

Chu Guang convened a working meeting with the senior leaders of various departments, focusing on the industrial transformation plan submitted by the Ministry of Industry and the budget proposal of a series of policies. The core theme of the whole conference was to shift some heavy industry and military production capacity to light industry. Especially in order to fight the war before, the alliance didn't have time to develop on its own, so the industry that was handed over to Boulder City to do, now has to be done slowly. It's best to be able to pick the fruit that is ready from the neighbor's house.

As early as in the previous closed-door meeting, Chu Guang had already hinted at the financial department that the next economic policy of the alliance would impact the mainstream currency status of the chips.

Then all the assets that are priced in chips unique to the alliance, whether fixed assets or non-fixed assets, must be treated as potential non-performing assets and cleaned up in a planned manner.

Otherwise, his plan to cut non-vegetables will become a seven-wound fist, one punch will blow people half to death, and he will only have one breath left to hang, which will harm others and benefit himself.

The whole meeting lasted from morning to afternoon, and even lunch was ordered by Chu Guang for the participants out of his own pocket.

Perhaps because the boxed lunch he ordered was more fragrant, the ministers and deputy ministers at the conference table put their best enthusiasm into their work, and finally came up with a set of basically reliable implementation plans before dusk.

Starting tomorrow, the alliance will fully implement the new work system, and some subsidies will be given to factories that actively cooperate. Although finance is the lubricant of industry, Chu Guang knows very well that if he wants to hollow out his neighbors' homes, lubricant alone is not enough.

Not only did he have to make sure that the survivors of the Chosen Alliance could at least live in corn houses, but he also had to make sure that there was enough industry to absorb the continued influx of people. Cutting non-vegetables is just one of the means to accelerate development.

In the final analysis, "self-improvement" is the best way to solve all problems. After the meeting.

Chu Guang was thinking about whether to take a casual stroll around the street with the tail of the celebration, relax his mood, and appreciate the results of his and the little players' joint efforts by the way, when there was suddenly good news from Liszt's side. On the phone, his voice carried a hint of smugness that could not be hidden.

"Dear Administrator, the matter you gave me has been done!"
