Chapter 343: The Northern Dynasty’s Dilemma

After breakfast, Xu Dong went to work as usual.

When he came to the office, Xiang Xin had already wiped the tables and chairs for him, and filled the thermos bottle. Although the post of section chief was not a big one, within the security department, it was definitely a very important one.

Xu Dong took out the tea leaves and started making tea.

Since he had a private space, his standard of living has made a qualitative leap. For example, the lunch box in front of him was prepared for him by his wife early in the morning.

In the past, in order to avoid being high-profile, you could only bring a bottle of pickles or fried tofu, and you had to do this secretly.

Just after taking a few sips of tea, there was a knock on the door. Xu Dong stuffed the lunch box into the drawer. When it was time to be low-key, he had to be low-key. It would not be good if it spread out.

He still wants to charge towards the director's throne!

"Please come in!"

Xiang Xin came in with the baby in her arms.

"Boss, I would like to borrow the office to feed the children."

Xu Dong put down the water glass: "Okay, I'll go outside for a walk."

His section chief's office is also a lactation room. There is no way, the security department only has such a big space, and there is no way to find a second room.

"Thank you, boss."

Xu Dong stood up and walked out the door: "Okay, send me a message. There is a boiled egg left on the table for the baby. It is still hot. Eat it while it is hot."

During this period after the New Year, Xu Dong basically brought a boiled egg to Xiang Xin's daughter every day. It was so pitiful that this child lost his father when he was born.

"I would like to thank you on behalf of our family, He Yun."

"You're welcome. Anyway, the baby will be a member of our old Xu family when she grows up. I still hope that she will be filial to me in the future!" Xu Dong joked with a smile.

"I'm afraid Dabao won't admit it when he grows up!"

Xiang Xin followed the other person's words and teased.

"He dares?"

After spending this time together, Xu Dong almost regarded the baby as his own daughter. This was something he had never thought of before. Maybe it was fate!

"Giggle..." Xiang Xin laughed happily.

After leaving the office, Xu Dong first came to the north gate. This is his old base, and his feelings are naturally different.

"Section Chief, you are here."

Da Tou quickly greeted, and others stood up to say hello. The atmosphere was generally quite relaxed.

Xu Dong is not like Section Chief Li. He goes out for a walk every day. The more times he goes, the more everyone gets used to it, and there is no longer any nervousness and restraint at the beginning.

"Well, everyone, please sit down!" Xu Dong waved his hand, and then called Datou aside: "Did anything happen during yesterday's patrol?"

Since mid-March, the Municipal General Administration has once again strengthened the intensity of public security inspections. Although it has not reached the intensity of the previous "polar night" conditions, it is still not much less.

Almost every half hour, they would arrange for someone to go out on patrol.

If it weren't for the monthly subsidy of 500 yuan from the city bureau, these dispatched workers would have complained long ago. Although 500 yuan is not much, it is more than enough to pay the utility bill.

Not all families are like the old Xu family, whose monthly water bills cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Datou took out a small notebook and began to report:

"Yesterday we arrested a total of eight homeless people without temporary residence permits, handled five domestic disputes and one street fight, and also discovered four stowaways."

"What's going on with this stowaway?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"After interrogation, it was found that the four stowaways were all from the Northern Dynasties. They entered the country from Liaozhou, and then hid day and night along the coastline. They actually made it to Yanjing."

After surviving the first two years, the Northern Dynasty finally could no longer sustain itself. Especially during the period after the new year, there was a large-scale wave of people fleeing famine.

Things are very troublesome. Their destination seems to have nowhere else to go except Daxia.

"How do they survive on the road?"

"It is said that they brought their own dry food and good quality dried meat. However, I heard some rumors from the branch. In fact, these dried meats are all that..."

Datou felt frightened when he thought of this incident.

When they caught this group of stowaways yesterday, seven or eight people almost divided the dried meat among themselves. If it weren't for the uneven distribution of the spoils and the timely arrival of the people from the branch, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Which one?"

Without waiting for Da Tou to answer, Xu Dong figured it out on his own, "Well, how do you solve the problem of drinking water?"

"Don't these guys stay out at night? They use the sun to evaporate seawater during the day, so they can get some drinking water. Just find a plastic bag. This method seems to be very popular over there."

"How did the branch handle it in the end?"

"They said they were going to be sent back."

Xu Dong shook his head secretly, repatriation was of no use.

In this case, the refugee problem will only get worse, and the key is to strictly guard against it.

However, there is a very long border between the two countries, and the pressure on border defense is quite high. Unless a wall is built like the one in the south and heavily guarded, the problem can be fundamentally solved.

But the cost is prohibitively high.

Moreover, the Northern Dynasty currently has a population of several million, and spending so much manpower and material resources on these people is not worth the gain.

All in all it's a huge headache.

After walking around for a while, Xu Dong processed some official documents, and the whole morning passed like this.

It was lunch time and he had just returned from lunch.

Xiang Xin came and knocked on the door again.

"Section Chief, what delicious food did you bring today?"

"Salted fish, do you want some?"

Xiang Xin nodded repeatedly.

Xu Dong gave some salted fish to the other party, then sent him away, and enjoyed a hearty lunch and fruit after the meal.

The afternoon is usually quite free, he is basically either watching videos or reading novels, and occasionally helps Xiang Xin take care of the children for a while.

At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Dong returned home from work.

The triplets had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when they saw their father coming back, the little guys immediately surrounded him.

"Dad, where are the fun things?" Erbao asked impatiently.

"What's the hurry, let Dad go wash his face first."

Ten minutes later, Xu Dong took a lot of effort and finally dragged the box containing the robot dog to the yard, and the whole family gathered around to watch the curiosity.

Open the box, and the robot dog is revealed inside.

"Dad, what is this thing?" Xiaobao asked curiously.

Xu Dong touched the back of his youngest son's head: "This is a robot dog, isn't it big?"

"As big as Mark." Xiao Bao nodded.

"Dad, can the robot dog walk?" Da Bao's eyes sparkled.

"Of course it can, you'll see later."

Mother Xu pinched her youngest son's thigh fiercely: "Spending money indiscriminately again, how old are you, and still playing with this thing?"

"Mom, I bought it for Da Bao and his family." Xu Dong rubbed his thigh and explained.

"Grandma, Da Bao wants to see the dog walk."

Mother Xu immediately changed her attitude: "Okay, let your dad teach you well, our Da Bao will become a great scientist in the future."
