Chapter 987 Water World 13
Qu Ruiqing often thought that the empire looked down on people in the swamp area, so why would they use things made by people in the swamp area? Why can't we do without things made by people in the swamp area? Many parts were produced by people in the swamp area and then shipped to the empire.
She once saw the scene of a video call between the head of the factory in the swamp area and the head of the empire docking. The person in charge of the swamp area bowed his head and smiled, reporting the number of delivered products. The person in charge of the empire didn't even look him in the face. The look of disgust seemed to be a defilement to himself.
After the people in the swamp area delivered a large amount of products, the head of the empire gave them the exchanged materials. The person in charge of the swamp area was grateful and smiled.
Qu Ruiqing looked at the quantity of those materials, and then at those products. It was silent then. The value of the materials exchanged to the swamp area is not even one percent of the value of the products they deliver.
What's this?
Squeeze, exploit, but trample on the dignity of the other party.
Is this correct?
Qu Ruiqing didn't know.
So she kept trying to find out.
But it has not been found yet.
One day, in the royal library, she followed her father quietly into a secret room out of curiosity, and found an old book. After she took all the photos carefully, she returned to her bedroom and began to look through them. What she saw made her doubt her situation.
That book tells the history of the empire five hundred years ago.
The ancestors Qu Fengbai and Zhou Chaoyang defeated the Yiren and saved mankind. Lead people to create a new world and start a new life.
However, is the present world what the ancestors expected?
Qu Ruiqing thinks, probably not.
From then on, Qu Ruiqing would sneak away to the swamp area.
Because the ancestors of the people in the swamp area also participated in the construction after the end of the world.
Why did the world split into two in the end?
She has been sneaking into the swamp for some time.
What she sees and hears every time she goes there shakes her firm belief from birth.
Ever since she could remember, she had been indoctrinated that the people of the empire were noble, and the people of the swamp area were humble. It is their honor for the humble to work for the noble.
What was used to distinguish noble from humble?
Who enabled such guidelines?
Qu Ruiqing wanted to know the answer.
She still wants to know, is this distinction correct? Is it just?
After Qu Ruiqing arrived in the swamp area, he changed his clothes and walked aimlessly on the streets of the swamp area. The streets of the swamp are always wet, and the sky is always gloomy. There is also currency here, but instead of using electronic coins stored in wristbands like in the empire, they use paper money.
Here, people in the swamp area don't have wristbands. Bracelets are a symbol of noble status. As soon as people in the empire were born, they had bracelets that registered their identities. The bracelets would grow or shrink according to the size of their wrists, and would accompany them until their death.
So when Dr. Zhonghong concluded that Kong Hou was not the person above, because Kong Hou didn't have a bracelet.
...
Kong Hou was sitting in the office of the clinic, dangling her two short legs on a chair, reading a newspaper.
"Xiao Konghou, can you understand?" Dr. Zhong Hong asked with a smile.
"Yes." Kong Hou knows many kinds of characters, and she naturally knows the characters in this world.
