"I think it's okay for people from the bottom to come and live here."
A food shop owner said cheerfully that it was already past 3 p.m. and the shop was already preparing afternoon meals. In the past, the business of this small shop in District 113 was very poor. Only regular customers would come every day, but now it is open every day.
The snack shop was packed with people.
In order to make more money, the boss will ask his wife to visit the store in the afternoon, and then set up a stall on the opposite side of the newly built highway. He can earn three to four hundred with a few snacks in one night. Adding the current income of the shop, he can earn three hundred or four hundred in a day.
Earning thousands was simply unimaginable in the past.
In the past, the boss could make a maximum of 100 yuan a day from his small shop, which would have made him laugh, but now the income has increased tenfold.
"Indeed, my wife and the others now go there at night to sell some daily necessities, and they can basically sell everything."
A worker who helps in the store said that his salary is now 3,000 a month. Both parties are very satisfied with the current situation. If people from the barrier area come in, the underlying economy will increase a lot.
Section 7 did not issue excessive currency, because the wages settled to people in the barrier area were paid by the Agriculture Section, so even if all the people in the barrier area came in, as long as they engaged in some agricultural work arranged by Section 12, there would be no consequences.
inflation.
Several members of Section 5 patrolling the street entered the store, and they were also regular customers of the store.
"What do you want to eat? There are jelly and tofu curd."
Several people looked shabby. They all asked for something. The boss gave them generous portions. In the past, when they were on patrol, they would come over for something to eat at noon. It would look very relaxed. They would just sit down.
Two or three hours, but things are different now.
"Hurry up, Lao Luo. We need to finish our meal quickly and continue patrolling. There are too many people on the street now, so we're afraid something will happen."
"Okay, just wait a moment."
The boss and workers are busy, and several people in Section 5 are miserable. Especially recently, a lot of things have happened. After all, there are too many people, and there are more people at night. The orders given by the superiors are as much as possible.
With persuasion and education, it is really no longer possible to arrest him again.
This is the first time that most people in Section 5 have been so busy since they entered the Business Section. Many people have not had a break for more than two months. The things they asked for came quickly. After a few people finished eating quickly, they replenished the food.
I got some hot water and left.
Occasionally, you can see some department staff who have just graduated from school and been assigned to the department on the street. Most of them actually don’t want to enter the 5th subject, but they have no choice but to get into other subjects. They can only work in the 5th subject first. Unexpectedly
As soon as I came here, I encountered such a severe situation.
"You should take a good look at the internal management regulations of the administrative department."
On a street, a team leader looked at the 29 team members under his command. They were all assigned just after graduating from the Academy of Behavioral Science. Many of them were somewhat dissatisfied, including 20 men and 9 women.
"Everyone has clearly memorized the areas we patrolled. Later, a group of 5 people will patrol these 5 areas. Fishing is not allowed during this period. If you are hungry or thirsty, you can buy something to eat, but you are not allowed to sit for a long time.
.Any more questions?”
"Captain, when will it end?"
The squad leader smiled helplessly.
"The latest situation is that there is no way to end it early. We have to patrol until 0 o'clock in the evening. We can go back to the cafeteria to eat at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and then rest until 8 o'clock."
The squad leader smiled helplessly. He could see that these new officers were a little dissatisfied. These 29 people just arrived yesterday and would start patrolling today.
"I will take you with me every day these days, rotating each group until you are completely familiar with it. I hope you can take your work seriously."
The team began to leave according to the divided groups. At this time, one of the four newcomers following the team leader seemed a little uncomfortable. He was born in the middle class and basically never came to the lower class. He only came when the school was about to graduate.
He went to work at a lower level for an internship in a company, but in the end he applied for the Business Administration at the request of his parents.
"Captain, I would like to ask, what is the use of such a patrol? You can just watch it in the monitoring room."
"Why is there so much nonsense? This is only the first day. Didn't we teach you in the course that patrolling is to prevent crime and effectively curb potential criminals. You will understand it gradually after that."
Looking at the newcomers behind them, they looked a little nervous. Along the way, the captain explained to them what they needed to pay attention to during the patrol. Of course, the captain knew that this kind of patrol was very tiring, especially patrolling day after day, but because of this
patrols, there have been very few crime cases in society in recent years.
Along the way, the team leader listened to them talking about some of today's news in the barrier area, and felt quite surprised. The team leader did not interrupt, because many very one-sided views could be heard from their words.
"I don't think it's necessary to let them in. Wouldn't our workload increase a lot?"
"Yes, and the city can't produce so much food to supply to the market. Resources will be severely consumed in all aspects."
The team leader has been working in the area for almost 20 years. He has heard too many discussions about the barrier area throughout the day. Most people's opinions are probably the same as these newcomers.
The squad leader has seen many people who were taken away and deported, and he has also dealt with some people. Most of them have completely lost hope. The one that stands out most in his memory is an alcoholic neighbor who lived near him eighteen years ago.
At that time, their family also helped a little to pay their taxes, but their family still couldn't pay their taxes every month, even the minimum income of 50 yuan.
To many people, this 50 yuan seems to be just one or two days' salary, and it can be paid easily. But what many people don't know is that this 50 yuan is extremely difficult for many people whose citizen level has become level 1.
of.
These people no longer have any competitiveness in society, because many of them did not receive any decent education in the early years and could only do some physical work. They will always have physical problems for a long time.
the future.
This is the case with the alcoholic neighbor of the squad leader's family. The woman is also trying her best to save money and do some odd jobs, but the overall economy at the bottom is very bad. It may be difficult for their family to earn even 20 yuan a day, let alone
I owe some foreign debts, and my two children are not in school, so they can only play near home every day.
The squad leader still clearly remembers that when he and the captain went over to announce the deportation that day, the man roared angrily about why they had to suffer such misery. They had worked very hard, but in the end their family was still deported.
.
The economy at the bottom level was very bad at that time, and it was basically the same as before. Recently, the team leader has often been thinking about why the middle and upper classes were not willing to give the bottom class some resources before, but instead repeatedly exploited the bottom class in various ways.
and squeeze.
"That's enough, let's patrol well. These things will be known after the official notification from above."
"Captain, do you agree to let those people in?"
The squad leader took off his hat and laughed.
"We can never feel the same way, because we are a little lucky and have not fallen behind in such cruel and fierce competition."
Several newcomers laughed. The team leader knew very well that they could not understand the situation at the bottom. Most young people were like this. Only people around his age would understand what kind of society the bottom was like, but it was much better now.
, at least it can give people hope.
4pm
Le Xiao rubbed her frozen hands. There were more than 200 family patriarchs in the room. It was very crowded now, but fortunately they could all stand.
This room was previously used as a warehouse for storing some materials, but now the materials have been moved out.
The family members have just been asked to discuss whether to rent the planting land to Section 12. Le Xiao also knows that there are still many people in the big family who are not willing.
"What do you think?"
Le Xiao asked. At this time, people from several big families looked at each other, and Honghong sighed and walked out.
"Let me explain it on behalf of everyone."
Le Xiao hummed.
"First of all, there is really no guarantee in this plan. Secondly, the food that our entire family area can produce now is supported by a relatively high-profit high-end market. If we do this, many of our families will lose this income.
After all, this income can amount to tens of millions a month. Although the rent is good, it is far from being comparable to this income. Another point is..."
"Does this mean we won't rent it?"
Le Xiao suddenly spoke. Just as Honghong was about to speak, Le Xiao sighed.
"Okay, okay, rent or not, just one sentence."
"Your Excellency Le Xiao, this is not a question of renting or not renting. First you have to consider us..."
Le Xiao sighed, shook his head and said.
"I actually envied your family when I was a kid. It's great to have land. As long as you have land, you won't go hungry. There are still many people starving in the city, and the same goes for people here. They only need to eat.
The same food as everyone else can save many hungry people from starvation. Why does such a simple thing seem so complicated to everyone? We are all people living on this land together, and everyone outside is also a human being.
In the past, it was true that the people of your family had made great efforts to earn these lands. But now the city is in trouble, can’t you all help? Once the problem of the barrier zone is solved, the problem of our city can be solved.
.”
Le Xiao's words silenced everyone present. Even Chen Qiao, who always liked to refute, stopped speaking. Honghong looked slightly embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, anyway, if you don't plan to rent, forget it. We, the Su family, the Angus family, and Mr. Charles, what do you think?"
