As the largest city in the Wasteland, especially as one of the few cities that can resist the invasion of evil beasts, the Wasteland naturally gathers the largest population in the entire Wasteland.

In terms of the territory of the city or the size of the population, it is more than ten times that of Baishi City.

The four of them put on face towels and walked down the street in isolation from most of the fishy smell.

It's just that on the streets mixed with fishy feces, pedestrians don't care about stepping on the sewage mixed with feces, and let the yellow and white things get on their boots.

From time to time, I see the indescribable yellow and white things on the corner of the street.

Occasionally, you can see a resident spilling sewage on the ground when they open the door.

On the streets, many refugees who had fled from all over the country, dressed in rags, sat on the ground, not caring about the yellow and white objects or sewage next to them, and slept on the ground.

What a mess to describe.

Especially now that it is July, the summer is scorching, the barren house is located in the south, surrounded by mountains and forests, and the air is even hotter.

This also leads to a thick odor mixed with the air, even if it is covered with a towel, it is difficult to isolate much, and the indescribable stench does not enter the nasal cavity, which is simply difficult to breathe.

"I knew that the barren mansion was like this, so I put on the mask of the scientific research institute." Li Changfeng regretted it, knowing that the environment of the wasteland was definitely not as good as that of Baishi City, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, and it was also the main city of Yizhou.

Following Bingbing, Xiaotong frowned and kept blowing away the stench, even Zhang Haihui, a rough man, couldn't stand it, and felt like vomiting.

Li Changfeng looked at this scene, and inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu when he came to a country where a certain dung pit could blow up an aircraft carrier.

Although the environment is so bad, but as the largest city in Huangzhou, the business is naturally quite prosperous, even if the sewage is still flowing on the street during the day, people still come and go, many vendors are shouting and selling on both sides, not caring about the yellow and white things on the ground, simply clean it and set up stalls, quite lively.

Bingbing was puzzled: "Why can they set up stalls in such a place so naturally, and they can eat and drink without changing their faces." Why are so many yellow and white things on the ground not cleaned properly, don't they feel dirty? ”

Xiaotong was also puzzled: "Is there really an appetite to eat in this environment?" ”

In other words, no matter how delicious the food is, they don't have the appetite to eat it.

Zhang Haihui shook his head and said, "In fact, it's not just the Deserted Mansion, it's the entire Great Qian, except for our White Stone City, only the situation in the capital will be better, and other places are almost like this." It's just that you've stayed in White Rock City all these years, and you've long been familiar with the cleanliness of White Rock City, so you've forgotten that the original White Rock City was actually like this, or even worse. ”

Hearing this, Bingbing and Xiaotong were stunned, and then they remembered that when they first came to Baishi City, the environment was indeed very poor, compared to the deserted mansion in front of them, and even some refugees who fled were lying in the yellow and white sewage to sleep.

It's just that with the vigorous development of White Rock City and the vigorous improvement of the environment, after a long time, they have forgotten that the White Rock City was also like this in the past.

People are forgetful.

It was precisely because of the contrast of the deserted mansion in front of them that they felt extremely admired that His Highness could govern Baishi City so neatly and tidy.

Li Changfeng calmly looked at all kinds of things on the streets of the wasteland, not to mention Bingbing and Xiaotong, even he almost forgot this environment.

Perhaps in their eyes, eating and drinking on such a dirty street is unimaginable, but for these ordinary people, it is a common thing, because they have lived in this environment from the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that Li Changfeng has become more and more determined to stay in Baishi City for the rest of his life.

Where in the world is there a paradise comparable to White Rock City.

This time I went out, not just for a casual stroll, Li Changfeng also had the purpose of developing new business opportunities, so he endured the dirty and messy environment, and the group walked around the wasteland.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Qianwu came to the Deserted Mansion, which had no problems with public security except for the dirty and messy environment.

After walking around, Li Changfeng had a general understanding of the Wasteland, and keenly found a suitable business opportunity, so he did not go back to the Evergreen Palace immediately, but came directly to the Governor's Mansion to find Chen Jiande.

At this time, Chen Jiande, who had just come back from Baishi City, was sweating profusely, first took a cool and refreshing well water bath, and then sat on the wellhead patio to enjoy the coolness.

Now it is the day of July, especially in the south, and it is very hot, let alone moving, just sitting there for a while will be stuffy and sweaty.

However, sitting at the mouth of the well, soaking your feet in the cold well water, is very relaxing.

Later, it would be better to boil some soup to cool off.

At this time, someone hurriedly came over: "Master, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes came to visit." ”

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes visited?" Chen Jiande was stunned, His Royal Highness hadn't just arrived at the Evergreen Palace, and he had been tired all the way, so he should have taken a good rest, why did he suddenly come to visit him.

While changing into his official uniform, he came to the living room of the house with doubts, and saw Li Changfeng sitting in the living room at the moment, just like returning to his own house, taking off his robe and wearing a thin shirt, Bingbing and Xiaotong were shaking a fan to fan him, and the next person brought him a basin with cold well water, and put his feet down, not to mention how cool it was.

This kind of hot weather should be like this to be comfortable.

It's so uncomfortable to walk outside.

Zhang Haihui next to him was soaking in the well water in a similar way.

Bingbing and Xiaotong are two women, naturally it is not good to be like this.

Chen Jiande was not dissatisfied, he had dealt with him for many years, and he was very familiar with His Royal Highness, so he first ordered someone to serve tea and some greetings, and then he wondered: "Your Highness, do you have anything to do with the lower official?" ”

Li Changfeng did not go straight to the point to explain the purpose, but first sighed for a long time: "Old Chen, this prince has not been to the Wasteland for many years, so he was bored and walked around the Wasteland, and found that the environment of the entire Wasteland City is so bad, the sewage on the streets is cross-flowing, pedestrians defecate everywhere, and yellow and white things can be seen everywhere. The ground is all potholes, and there is little to no good ground. Those who know understand that it is a wasteland, and those who don't know think that they have come to a barbarian land. ”

In and out of the words, they are talking about the dirty and messy urban environment of the wasteland.

Chen Jiande was quite embarrassed by these words, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, the lower officials don't want to, but I told you before, the wasteland doesn't have much money to repair the environment." ”

Li Changfeng said: "This prince is familiar with you, so he naturally knows the reason behind it, but the people don't know, they only know that the environment of the wasteland is dirty and messy, and after a long time, if you know that the environment of other state capitals is good, I am afraid that you will not continue to stay here in the wasteland, and move to other places, and the tax revenue of the wasteland will only be worse at that time." ”

"And now that my father has been in the Wasteland for five or six days, I think I am already familiar with the urban environment of the Wasteland, and I am afraid that I am quite disappointed."

Chen Jiande was a little upset when he heard these words, as a state pastor, he didn't want to build the wasteland better, so that he could have better political achievements, better promotion and wealth, but the government didn't have much money, and said with a wry smile: "What can the lower officials do." ”

At this time, Li Changfeng's words changed: "Lao Chen, if this prince helps you to make the streets clean and tidy, improve the living environment of the common people, and make the wasteland look new during your father's stay in the Deserted Mansion, what do you think your father will think of you in his heart when he sees it with his own eyes?" ”

Chen Jiande's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and he cares about the people the most. If you see the improvement of the people's lives, you will definitely be happy. Your Highness, what can you do? ”

Chen Jiande has been thinking of ways to clean up the environment of the deserted mansion, and even referred to Baishi City, but unfortunately the effect is not great.

In the final analysis, the city of Huangfu is too big, and it is ten times larger than a small border city like Baishi City, and it is not easy to rectify, and the government does not have much silver taels, and half of the taxes have to be handed over to the state treasury.

The point is that the deserted mansion is not his hall, and it is not so simple to repair it.

Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "There is indeed a way, but before saying it, this prince wants to know that the government is building a wasteland city every year...... Oh, and how much does it cost to renovate the deserted house? ”

Chen Jiande did not hide it: "The annual repair cost of Fucheng is 50,000 taels. ”

"Spending 50,000 taels a year, the deserted mansion is still so dilapidated, Lao Chen, you tell this prince, how did you do it?" Li Changfeng was taken aback, not only did he look down on 50,000 taels, but on the contrary, he felt that 50,000 taels was a lot.

You must know that one tael is equal to consistent money, that is, one thousand Wen.

Ordinary people may not necessarily earn a silver tael all year round.

Don't look at Li Changfeng, just a box of small imperial tea can be sold for sixty-six taels, Emperor Qianwu is one hundred thousand taels at a time, and the Emperor's suite of the Peace Hotel costs eight hundred and eighty-eight taels a night, which seems to make a lot of money, but this kind of orientation is for a specific group of people, in fact, the number of sales sold throughout the previous year will not be very large, and it is already very remarkable to have two or three hundred thousand taels.

Chen Jiande could hear the ridicule of the Nine Emperor Princes, and said helplessly: "Your Highness doesn't know, the Wasteland is the main city of a state, and the scope of the city is large, not only the ground repair, but also the repair of the city wall, which is related to resisting the invasion of evil beasts. There are also repairs to drainage, people's houses, etc., and 50,000 taels a year is really very little. ”

Li Changfeng thought about it and felt that it was also, the Wasteland was not as small as Baishi City, and 50,000 taels could change a lot in a small town like Baishi City, but if it was thrown in the main city of a state like Wasteland, it would only be able to make a small splash.

But this is the reason, but 50,000 taels a year, 500,000 taels in ten years, no matter how ordinary the repair, it is impossible to do this.

I'm afraid that someone is greedy for the repair cost inside.

And no less.

Of course, the Wasteland is not a small town like White Rock City, there are more officials in it, and there are many factions, and it is naturally troublesome.

If Li Changfeng hadn't come to the Wasteland, it would have been fine, but now that he is here, this is a big piece of fat, how can he not worry about it.

If he were an ordinary person, he would be somewhat afraid of taking over this kind of municipal project, but he was not afraid, he was the prince of the day, backed by Emperor Qianwu, who dared to pit himself, especially Emperor Qianwu was in the wasteland, at this time, if he didn't pull the banner and grab food, when would he shoot again?

Li Changfeng immediately said: "Old Chen, you also know how the city construction of Baishi City is, if you say anything else, this prince does not dare to guarantee it, but for the city construction and repair, this prince is an expert." In the future, the repair cost of 50,000 taels will be handed over to this prince, and it will definitely make the deserted mansion look new. ”
