Jean Of Bright City 13

11 am

Most of the family members gathered in the shack behind the barrier. In just one hour, for many family members, this kind of experience was unprecedented. Even if they were wearing thick clothes, the chill would still be felt. It penetrates into the clothes pervasively, and constantly takes away the problems on the skin.

There was always a creepy wind whistling in his ears, and the wind seemed to tear people apart. There were sand grains visible to the naked eye in the air, as well as some large objects that flashed by, and the nose was always filled with a metallic smell.

Dryness is a common experience for all people, and many people who work well feel as if they are sick, always coughing constantly.

Hong Hong was sitting in the room, and her body was warmer. Jiang Hao kept poking his nostrils with a tissue, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Can you really stay in a place like this?"

Jiang Hao asked, Angus and his wife on the side smiled helplessly, Violet said.

"It's really hard to get used to at first, but it takes about a week to get used to it. This land is very scary for a first-timer because it's just sand and ice, and darkness. But that's how it is. There are so many people who can live in such a harsh environment, and barriers can be built in such a harsh environment.”

Chen Qiao sat on the side without saying a word, while Wang Degui sighed.

"If the people on this land perish, perhaps Bright City is not far from perishing."

Avano looked at Wang Degui with some surprise. Except for the two big families of Su and Phoebes, who were not in this room, the other six big families were all there.

"It's amazing that you would say something like that."

Field said with a little teasing, everyone knows the changes in the city now, and the most profitable is the Wang family. They have a lot of rental properties in the city, especially on the ground floor. Wang Degui is very shrewd and knows about housing. As long as the economy is good, the value will increase, so even if the economy at the bottom of the city is very bad for a long time, Wang Degui did not sell some houses at a low price.

On the contrary, it is rented at a very low price, so many properties on the ground floor are now owned by some companies under the Wang family’s name, and even Wang Degui bought a lot of houses when the price of the ground floor houses was low, and they are in every district on the ground floor. Has the property of the royal family.

Now the rent is at least three times higher than before, especially for those commercial places, Jiang Hao said with a cold snort.

"It's really ironic to say this from your mouth."

Wang Degui just smiled. Only the Wang family knows the pain of the Wang family in recent years. It seems that the Wang family owns a huge real estate, but the maintenance of the real estate requires a lot of money. In addition to commercial housing being profitable, real estate in other places is really not profitable.

Section 7 is extremely strict in the management of ordinary housing and commercial housing, because businessmen are not allowed to speculate their houses to the extent that ordinary people cannot afford them, while the rich do not care, commercial housing is the most profitable.

But the city is no longer the same as it used to be. There is a constant rotation of strata. After the stratum is solidified, it is almost impossible to climb up from the bottom. Therefore, the transaction volume of commercial housing has been very small in these years.

And the Wang family has to maintain a huge industrial scale, which can only be maintained by the rent of the house and some housing transactions, but it has almost exhausted the Wang family.

During this period of time, what the Wang family discussed the most was to sell some houses that were impossible to appreciate at all, so that they could get a large amount of cash and then withdraw from the stock market, but Wang Degui decisively denied it.

When the most difficult time for the Wang family was to find some families to raise funds, Wang Degui did not sell the house, because he knew that the opportunity would definitely come, but he did not expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

Even in the two districts 119 and 120, which have now been leveled, the Wang family also owns a very large area of ​​land. These lands have now been authorized to build by the Phoebes family, and all the commercial value of the land output is owned by the Wang family. direct beneficiaries.

Many of the houses on the ground floor that were selected as the cinema address belonged to the Wang family, and the Wang family did not plan to sell it. Jiang Hao had talked to Wang Degui many times before, but in the end, he had no choice but to pay the rent every year.

As a result, there was a lot of unpleasantness between the two sides. Now Wang Degui's remarks seem to many people to be mocking something.

"I don't mean anything else. To be honest, we should think about it."

"Thinking about what? Thinking about getting more?"

Jiang Hao muttered, but Wang Degui ignored the mockery and said with a smile.

"Hand over the planting land."

Wang Degui's words made everyone present look solemn. The Angus and his wife are indifferent. Some of the crops produced in the Angus family's planting land are supplied to the Angus family, and the other part is supplied to the operation department. Especially 5 subjects.

The Angus couple did not sell the crops they cultivated to the high-end market. Although they did make a lot of money, the same goods were sold to the Office at the normal market price.

Some of the food in the canteen of the General Affairs Section is also supplied by the Angus family. The most supplied is the headquarters of Section 5. After all, Niya is there, so the husband and wife can only subtly use this method to care for the second daughter.

Charles did not speak. He knew very well that after seeing such a scene, most people had no confidence in establishing an agricultural base in the barrier area, and wanted to establish an agricultural base when the sun could not illuminate the land. It's too difficult to come.

Although there is a temperate zone in the underground periphery of the experimental planting area, and there are some small heating rods in the land, it is not the way to go on like this, and temperature is the biggest problem of this proposal.

"Let's take a look first."

Chen Qiao muttered, and everyone was a little hungry. At this time, the door of the room was knocked open, and Niya came over with a large bucket, some cutlery, and a few bottles of wine.

"Hurry up and eat."

Uncovering the pot, it was filled with vegetable stew, which smelled very fragrant. Chen Qiao frowned slightly, looking at the dust on the lid.

"It's too unsanitary."

Jiang Hao muttered, and Niya looked at him.

"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry, but today I have time to accompany you gentlemen out."

"Eat it, it tastes good."

Charles said and got up first, and everyone scrambled to prepare the stew, which tasted really good. Niya closed the door, got a big bowl by herself, and opened a bottle of wine.

"Do you drink?"

Everyone nodded. During the meal, everyone was silent. Today, everyone's appetite is very good. If this point is in the city on weekdays, you will still feel full and not too hungry. At least it will not start until after 12 o'clock. Travel hungry.

"It's good to have something to eat in a place like this, and pick and choose."

Niya's words were obviously addressed to Chen Qiao, and Chen Qiao smiled awkwardly, because Niya came in with the food and saw Chen Qiao's disgusted face.

"When we're full, we'll go out for activities later. When we're almost done, we'll chat and eat at night, see the situation clearly, and think about what's most important now."

Wang Degui said with a smile.

"Niya, you guys have been too active recently. When will real estate transactions be allowed?"

Niya glared at Wang Degui.

"Don't get cheap and sell well."

Wang Degui smiled awkwardly. After a meal, everyone felt warmer. With a little wine, Hong Hong sighed and stood up.

"Let's continue to go out and walk around, and now the sand outside is much smaller."

2pm

Things about the barrier area in the city have completely exploded. Many people can't believe that there are so many people working and living in such an environment. Some interviews and videos on the scene have caused many people to have heated discussions.

"Can something really grow in that kind of place?"

In a restaurant, several men who had just finished their jobs discussed. They were all from the middle and white-collar workers in the company, because the company's business has now turned to the bottom, and they have been working at the bottom recently.

"Who knows, but it looks incredible, especially since those people could survive."

Many people were shocked to see the real news reports. At such a low temperature, in a barrier area with such rampant sandstorms, those people are still alive and able to work in such an environment.

"Hey, I used to think those people in the barrier area were criminals, but it doesn't seem like they are all."

"Of course, there are so many criminals willing to go out and live a hard life. Most of them are probably expelled or voluntarily left the city."

A set of real data has already been published. Because of the existence of the urban civic hierarchy, taxes must be paid. Many people were eventually expelled, but they could no longer afford the taxes. Finally, they exhausted the last bit of energy and left helplessly. city.

Now more people are discussing whether the current personnel in the barrier area can return to the city. Many people think that it is not possible, because it is impossible for the food in the city to supply the people in the barrier area, so it is necessary to It is necessary to have a plan to establish an agricultural base.

It's just that this plan seems to be difficult for most people, and the 12th department has also released a lot of experimental data and some problems encountered. These things are hopeless no matter how you look at them.

"It's just that I heard someone say it. It seems that the Office is now secretly letting people in the barrier area enter the agricultural base to work."

A man said, and several other people looked at each other and looked around.

"Don't say such things, if you spread rumors, you will be arrested."

Several people also knew that they had heard a little bit about it. The people in the barrier area had already moved from the eastern security station to the eastern agricultural base to work. A month's salary is much higher than working in the eastern agricultural base.

The serious decline in grain output a while ago is proof. Several people discussed the matter of these people in the barrier area entering the city, but everyone still felt that it was inappropriate, because there were still many criminals among them, and they could no longer work. people.

Cities no longer have any resources to support these people, so it is better for them to continue to maintain such a state, unless agricultural bases can really be built.

The most discussed are the middle and upper class people, as well as some young people, and many old people at the bottom have become accustomed to it.

At this moment, on a table, a middle-aged man laughed.

"You don't know, they do live in such a harsh environment, and they can also produce some handmade products, including some ores. When I was a child, I often followed my parents to the outside of the barrier and the people in the barrier area. thing."

The other young people were a little surprised, and one of them asked.

"Really? They were able to live like this before?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it for yourself. That kind of dark world is really frightening. I still clearly remember the first time I went out, after seeing those people, Going home and having nightmares, after all, they are so miserable, old people, children and women, a lot of people, but they are still the same after all these years, but they look better now."

People in the city still have a certain degree of resistance to the people in the barrier area. After all, there are many criminals among them. Those gangs who used to do evil in the city are forced to flee the city. Only in the barrier area can they avoid sanctions. It was gradually born in the process of these people trading with some corrupt elements in the city.

And the referendum that broke out in the whole city half a century ago gave birth to the eviction law, and over the years countless people have crossed the bridge of weeping.

"I think they will definitely enter the city. A cousin of mine works in District 119. He told me that the two districts of 119 and 120 are for people in the barrier area. It seems to be the 13th department. That's what the secretary intends to do."

"That little girl, she is indeed a good person."

People at several tables discussed the issue of people coming in from the barrier area. Most people felt that if people from the barrier area came in, there might be problems in the economy that finally got up, because resources would be destroyed. drastic consumption.

Many people in the barrier areas have almost no guarantee of medical life and education, and if the city wants to protect them, they will have to devote a lot of resources.

"I don't think so. I think that when the family members go to the barrier area collectively today, something important will definitely happen. After all, that girl's actions are always unexpected."

As soon as someone finished speaking, many people nodded in agreement with a smile. They were all paying attention to what Le Xiao would do next. This is extremely important for many people, because Le Xiao is now Every step of the way will take the city to the next level, at least in the eyes of many people.

"What, isn't this done?"

Su Li smiled and held Su Xin's arm. The two were on a crowded street, planning to go to the supermarket to buy something. Su Xin was really surprised now, and she sighed helplessly.

"How on earth did she do it, this stupid girl."

Su Li smiled and looked at the distant sun.

"Because the sun's rays can be ignored together, it exists there. Well, let's make it richer in the afternoon."
