Tang Zheng took a helicopter back to Chasing Light City.
Over the past few days, Zhuguang City has begun to take shape as a city.
Dozens of buildings are under construction, some of which have already been topped out.
Engineers and soldiers worked almost 24 hours a day, and the construction speed far exceeded the normal speed of civilians.
At this time, Nanmen Street was already very busy.
Especially the Public Security Department, the Ministry of Interior, and the registration and trading hall are almost overcrowded.
Wherever there are people, there is commerce, and many vendors with stalls began to gather nearby, forming a medium-sized market.
Although Light Chasing City has not yet issued currency, the survivors still have their own trading methods.
In addition to traditional barter, bullets, gold, and even Light Chaser City's point cards have become items that can be traded.
Moreover, when Tang Zheng came back, he found that someone had purchased a piece of land at the intersection of Nanmen Street and Dongmen Street and planned to open a large hotel here.
The intersection of these two roads can be said to be a prime location among prime locations. Someone who grabs it first is also very discerning.
After Tang Zheng returned, he led the guard platoon to the south city gate.
It is already past 9:40 in the morning, and the alliance tax collector is about to arrive.
Before today, Tang Zheng had not thought about what to do specifically, but after seeing that huge and terrifying group of corpses, Tang Zheng had a plan in mind.
They stood in front of the door, and people passing by looked sideways, knowing that they were members of the Light Chasing Army, so no one came to disturb them.
At nine fifty, the motorcade appeared in Tang Zheng's sight.
On the temporarily paved road in the distance, a convoy of three off-road jeeps and about ten trucks was driving towards Light Chaser City.
"The battle is not small, and there are so many big trucks. How much materials are you planning to collect from me?"
Tang Zheng complained, and then waited for the arrival of the motorcade with a smile on his face.
A few minutes later, the convoy stopped in front of the gate of Zhuguang City.
A hot-looking woman in her thirties jumped out of a jeep.
Tang Zheng met this person when he went to the University City Base. He was the third member of the Alliance Council and the leader of the Jingwen County Lumber Camp Base, Lian Na.
It can be seen that Lian Na is a mutant, and the strength and posture of her actions are different from ordinary people.
Tang Zheng walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome Senator Lian Na to come from afar. Your arrival will make Chasing Light City shine."
Lian Na also shook hands with Tang Zheng: "I am an unpopular person. Let's talk ugly first. When I collect taxes according to the law later, Chief Tang, please don't blame me."
"Haha, how could it be? Although Zhuguang City is not rich, it can still get some supplies. Come on, let's take a look at the city first."
The people from the security platoon drove Tang Zheng's Hummer jeep over and opened the carport. Tang Zheng invited Lian Na to get in the car.
Except for the bodyguards, the rest of the people brought by Lian Na were invited by people from the internal affairs department, who wanted to do statistical work.
"Councilor Lian Na, let the people below do those tedious statistics. How about we go around Light Chaser City?"
"Okay, to be honest with you, Chief Tang, I am shocked by your city right now. If you don't tell me, I will have a good time."
The motorcycle of the Public Security Department cleared the way in front of the Hummer, Xu Liu drove the car, and Director Ji Yuntian sat in the sidecar and shouted with a big loudspeaker.
"Give way! Give way!"
"Move over, that bun seller, where is your stall?"
"Dingyin in front of you, what are you talking about, that group of mercenaries with guns!"
"Why are you staring? When you get to this place in Zhuguang City, you will be coiled with a dragon and a tiger. If you dare to cause trouble here, I will send you to the dungeon of the Public Security Department!"
Under the guidance of the Public Security Bureau, the motorcade passed through the crowded South Street and arrived at the registration and trading hall.
"Congressman Lena, look at the difference between our trading floor and the University City base."
"Okay, I just want to take a look. Maybe I can try to take on a mission."
Lian Na smiled, but she was secretly making calculations in her heart.
She has rich taxation experience and has her own standards for judging whether a person will cooperate with taxation.
Generally speaking, it is relatively simple to pay taxes in medium-sized bases, because they have supplies and do not have a particularly strong force to fight against the alliance, so they can only pay taxes obediently.
Small bases are difficult because they are relatively poor, but as long as some pressure is exerted, they can generally only cooperate.
On the contrary, it is the most difficult to tax large bases. They have things, but no one is willing to pay for them. Moreover, they are strong enough, and the Alliance has no good way to deal with them.
A base as big as Chasing Light City should be the hardest nut to crack.
Ever since she saw the walls of Chasing Light City, Lian Na gave up the idea of threatening force.
Apart from anything else, she couldn't handle the garrison in the sentry tower of the city wall alone. If Tang Zheng didn't cooperate, she wouldn't be able to get anything.
Once the city gates are closed, the local alliance may not be able to defeat it unless they mobilize with all their strength.
And this is also based on the fact that Tang Zheng's armed forces are not large in number.
After entering the city, Lian Na carefully observed the situation of the defenders on the city wall.
According to her preliminary judgment, the number of garrison guards guarding the city was approximately between 300 and 400 people.
This reminded her of the information that Tang Zheng had registered at the University Town Base, which indeed said there were three hundred armed forces.
"It seems that during this period, he has not had time to expand his army on a large scale, but this situation will not last long. When the situation in the city becomes more stable, it is imperative for Tang Zheng to expand his army."
"I absolutely cannot let this happen. At least before expanding the army, I have to make him agree to allow the alliance to station troops here."
"As long as the Alliance can station troops here and control the city gate, this city can become ours at any time."
"I believe that the Speaker will agree with my idea when he sees this city. Perhaps this is a more suitable location for the alliance headquarters."
In a short period of time, Lian Na decided on her idea of coming here.
Taxation is required, but that is no longer the main thing. The most important thing is to sign a protection agreement, then make it public on the radio, create a fait accompli, and then let the alliance garrison here and occupy it like a magpie's nest.
But it was not easy to complete this matter. Before that, she had to gain Tang Zheng's trust at all costs.
With dirty thoughts in mind, the two people walked into the registration and trading hall under the protection of guards.
After entering the door, you saw a large electronic screen.
This electronic screen was erected the day before yesterday. Tang Zheng specially sent people out to collect it in order to make the trading floor look more stylish.
The blackboard of the past few days has completed its mission and has come to an end.
On the electronic screen, subtitles are scrolling one by one.
A lot of the news here is released by the Ministry of Interior of Zhuguang City.
Most of them are news about acquisitions. Because the large forces in Zhuangguang City are currently fighting outside and are short of manpower, many materials cannot be collected. The news is released here. As long as the team or individual can complete the task, they can exchange for weapons, vehicles, etc. here.
Even mutated animal meat.
[Purchasing building materials, cement, steel bars, paint, wood, etc., if you need them in large quantities, you can settle with weapons, and contact the Ministry of the Interior if you have the goods.]
[You can purchase diesel by the ton and settle weapons and vehicles.]
[Purchasing salt, MSG, and spices can be exchanged for Zhuguang City points.]
[Purchase large quantities of gold, platinum, silver, diamonds, jade, natural pearls, rubies, sapphires, etc., and settle the weapons points. 】
[Acquisition of uranium ore, enriched uranium, and bullet settlement.]
The subtitles are scrolling continuously. The city of Chasing Light is now in need of renovation. It needs many and varied things.
Lian Na glanced at Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng also glanced at her.
Lian Na saw Tang Zheng's intention, which was that she wanted to help him complete a few tasks first.
If this cannot be done, I am afraid there will be no way to talk about the next thing.
Lian Na smiled: "Now that you're here, you can't go back empty-handed. In a moment, Chief Tang will urge your Ministry of Internal Affairs not to give me any free money."
Tang Zheng laughed: "Of course not."
"Okay, then I will accept the task of fifty kilograms of gold and the task of enriching uranium. I can't accept anything else. After all, my lumberyard base and the university town base of the headquarters have a demand for general supplies.
The amount is also very large, I hope Chief Tang can understand."
Tang Zheng was not too surprised when he heard about fifty kilograms of gold.
Fifty kilograms of gold can be converted into system funds, which is 50,000 gold.
This number is not big for Tang Zheng now. After all, the soldiers on the front line can collect about 20,000 gold every day. Now they have accumulated more than 100,000 gold, and Tang Zheng has not gone to get it yet.
But a mission to enrich uranium made Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly light up.
During this period of time, He Xue pestered herself every day, asking Tang Zheng to get some uranium ore or enrich uranium as soon as possible.
But Tang Zheng didn't have a clue for a while. This kind of thing was too difficult to obtain. Ordinary people wouldn't know where to look for it if you asked him to find it.
Unexpectedly, Lian Na gave herself a surprise today.
Tang Zheng calmed down and asked with a smile: "It's amazing that Leader Lian Na can actually get something like enriched uranium."
Lian Na waved her hand: "It's not that great, but during the tax collection, there were survivors from Mobei. There used to be the empire's nuclear power plant there. Someone got a bottle by chance. It is said that the purity reached
More than 85% of them were collected and confiscated by me, but to be honest, this thing is useless at all. Without a large number of scientific and technological talents, that kind of weapon cannot be made at all. Today, I will borrow flowers and offer them to the leader of Tang Dynasty."
"But I guess what Leader Tang needs is low-purity enriched uranium. He probably wants to do research on nuclear power. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to use my high-purity bottle."
With that said, Lian Na asked someone to take over the task, and then delivered the task directly.
Fifty kilograms of gold and a sealed glass box contained a silver-white solid.
Tang Zheng didn't know how to enrich uranium, so he handed it over directly to He Xue who was beside him.
When He Xue saw this thing, her eyes lit up and she immediately took it, the joy on her face could not be concealed.
"General, it's really high-purity enriched uranium, it's done! Just take a look."
