There is a desperate chill in the air, and the night time is always difficult for many people to adapt to. Even if there is sufficient water and electricity, such nights are difficult for many people.
Jed stood quietly outside in the cold, with a group of heavily armed people behind him. He looked solemnly, looking at a lit tavern outside a cave, where many people were laughing.
Jin Ming was following Jade. It had been half a year since he last went back. Sure enough, things turned out as Jade expected. Zhang Yang and the others wanted to be independent.
Zhang Yang and his group are not many, only three to four hundred people, but once they really launch an armed revolution, many nearby caves will follow suit, and everything that happened in that small city will happen again.
Conflicts have begun to arise. Although laws and regulations have a certain effect, for many people who work in caves every day, they are supporting other people with their labor, and other people's contributions are too little, and they can still sit still.
Command them from a high position.
This idea has spread in many caves, and people living in the town are also complaining because the recent food distribution has been much less. Jed has sent people to secretly investigate. Someone has done something to make them public.
Made by a gang.
Jed knew what they were doing in private. Originally, Jed wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Yang and the others, but after learning that Zhang Yang was already planning an armed revolution, Jed had already made up his mind to get rid of Zhang Yang.
Tonight, Jed has brought 500 security personnel. They are fully armed and have received a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the warehouse. There will definitely be bloody conflicts tonight.
Such conflicts are unavoidable. Recently, Jed and the others are discussing some currency systems, establishing a currency based on the town, and then allowing people in each town to trade freely.
Such a system is to allow everyone to carry out their work purposefully. As long as currency circulates, all towns can slowly be connected together. Everyone can use currency to buy some food and use their own work to earn wages.
If such aimless sharing continues, the entire human society will face another major disaster, so currency is indispensable.
The original circulation amount of each town has to be determined based on many things, so this is a relatively long process.
Only the monetary system can stabilize the current chaos. Not only Jed's town, but also riots of varying degrees occurred in every town. In some towns, large-scale bloody conflicts even occurred.
As long as money can circulate in the town, all these problems can be solved.
Lack of pursuit is the biggest problem in human society. Now some people are working passively, because no matter what, life is like this now, without any pursuit.
Jed signaled the security team to disperse, and then prepared to launch a raid. According to intelligence, they had secretly obtained a lot of weapons from the weapons factory and were equipping them.
Jed brought out the elite of these security teams. They trained every day and had shooting training.
At this time Jin Ming came closer.
"Do you really want to take action, Mayor?"
Jade nodded, then thought about it and said.
"Go in and talk to Zhang Yang and see his attitude. This is your last chance, but don't..."
"I won't reveal that you have surrounded them."
Jin Ming ran quickly, and after a while he came to the door of the tavern. This tavern was where Jin Ming and the others gathered. There were more than 200 people inside, drinking and chatting. Many people looked very happy, and Zhang Yang was already a little drunk.
.
"Why are you here, Lao Jin? Come over quickly and have a drink."
Zhang Yang shouted, and Jin Ming looked around with a solemn expression after passing by.
"can we talk?"
Jin Ming's expression suddenly changed.
"Jade asked you to come?"
Jin Ming shook his head and said.
"No, I'm just here as a friend."
The two came to a room on the second floor of the tavern. The voices of men and women could be heard from many other rooms. Zhang Yang relied on some women and successfully won over many people.
"Why do you want to play too?"
Jin Ming shook his head.
"What on earth are you going to do? Jade has noticed you."
Zhang Yang put away his smile, then sat down on a small bed and took out a cigarette to light.
"If a monetary system is introduced, it will be even more difficult for those at the bottom."
Jin Ming didn't have much research on this aspect, so it was difficult for him to answer, Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Can you still bear it? What are Jade and the others doing recently? Are you blind?"
Jin Ming also knew that Jade and the others now have everyone's information, and then began to divide it and assign some people's work in more detail, but this is understandable, because it is such an era.
"This is not a shared ownership at all, we are all working hard to create glory for the Angus family."
"But if we want to continue to develop, we need someone to lead it."
Zhang Yang blew out smoke rings disapprovingly.
"Leader? He is not a qualified leader. Many things he does will be based on the people of his family."
Jin Ming naturally knew this.
"You know, if currency is issued, the labor force at the bottom will definitely become the cheapest, and there will also be a tax system, and money will circulate in the town, making everyone more motivated, but in the end the money circulating will only return
It was in the hands of the Angus family, and other people contributed their labor, and production created value. In the end, what they got in exchange was just a little bit of useless paper."
"But if we don't do this, many people will become more and more dissatisfied, so..."
Zhang Yang burst out laughing.
"This shows that all the systems promulgated by Jed are problematic. Anyway, I can't eat from such a big pot. Many of them have devoted their labor, but they still have to wait for the distribution of the food they grew. How can there be any in the world?
That’s the truth.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jin Ming asked tentatively.
"What do you want to do?"
"Just get away from Jade and the others and go to a place with thousands of people like Allen and the others. I don't want to work so hard anymore. What do I get in exchange for working so hard every day? Nothing, right?"
Jin Ming fell silent and continued to persuade.
"If you really do this, you will have a conflict with Jade and the others."
Zhang Yang put out his cigarette butt and patted Jin Ming on the shoulder.
"Lao Jin, you'd better think clearly. This kind of social structure has no future."
Jin Ming didn't say anything else. He knew that Zhang Yang could no longer look back, but he still explained everything.
"Why don't you have a good talk with Jade."
"I have nothing to talk about with him anymore, and I am not qualified to talk to him."
Then Jin Ming left. He returned to Jade and told Jade what happened. Jade raised his head and couldn't calm down.
Jade's only thought now is to put this matter to rest as soon as possible while Zhang Yang and the others maintain their foundation.
Soon, under Jed's order, the security team began to approach the tavern.
Bang
As gunshots rang out, the security team soon rushed to the outside of the pub, raising their guns and shouting loudly.
"Please all of you lie down with your hands on your head, now we suspect you are planning a riot."
There was no resistance. The situation was exactly as Jed thought. The originally laughing and joking tavern fell silent. Jed led people in, and each person walked out of the tavern with his hands raised under the threat of a gun.
At this time, Zhang Yang ran down in a panic, and Jade watched him run over.
"What's wrong, Mayor, what are you doing?"
Jade glanced at Zhang Yang and said coldly.
"Take them away. Then conduct a comprehensive search here and in the cave."
Many people were awakened. As expected, a large number of weapons and ammunition were found in the cellar of the tavern, and weapons were also found in some places in the cave.
The key figures were all arrested without exception, and Zhang Yang roared angrily.
"Jed, you bastard, we followed you all the way through life and death, is this how you treat us in the end?"
Jed ignored it and directly used the radio to tell everyone in the town that Zhang Yang planned to be independent, as well as concealing weapons and preparing to start riots. Such crimes were punishable by death.
Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting light, many people in the town gathered around the gallows in the middle of the town. More than 30 people had their hands and feet tied, and Zhang Yang's face turned pale.
"Jade, I beg you, because we have done it for you..."
