Chapter 563 [People]
"Come on, people behind you go forward - take this. You don't need to figure out how to use it. When you get over there, you can do whatever the leader says. Do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, sir."
In the work area, a child in his early teens took the tool bag and quickly ran to the designated location.
There, his classmates were already at work, but because of their age, their hands and feet were not agile enough and their work efficiency was not high.
On the city lift platform not far away, the new city owner Ilia was accompanying Sean on an inspection.
It's not that Sean likes to stand on high places so he occupies the lifting platform, one of the important facilities in the city, but the platform under his feet has not moved for two days.
The children in front of me, who were only in their early ten years, were not working-study students. To put it mildly, they were "intellectuals" who were forcibly recruited to work.
There was no way around it. In Paradise City, literacy was a luxury. At that time, all promotion paths were firmly controlled by several major forces, and the people at the bottom couldn't even afford expensive books.
Nowadays, the city's administrative system is damaged, and some facilities require certain technical reserves to operate, but the operators are either dead, or the co-ordinator is dead and the efficiency is not high. We have no choice but to temporarily bring in some literate children to work. Work - to use the machine, you must at least understand the manual.
In a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, re-establishing the administrative system is much more difficult than imagined.
The only fortunate thing is that the popular riots that often occur in this situation did not occur. All of this is naturally "attributed" to the tyrant of Paradise City - even the most ruthless bully at the bottom dare not do it. If there was any movement at this time, the previous city lord and the invading Self Cult had already given them vivid education lessons.
Next to him is the tyrant who is feared by everyone, but the new city lord Ilia’s brows are still difficult to relax. She whispered: "There are many situations similar to this lifting platform. Many facilities are paralyzed, and many official agencies are watching. It’s very busy. In fact, the efficiency is terrible. Everyone... we are all new and can’t do anything to coordinate this aspect.”
Her voice was low. After nearly two months in Paradise City, the situation in the city not only failed to improve, but even worsened. She, the city lord, was naturally to blame.
However, Sean just smiled calmly and pointed lazily at the busy children: "Pay them wages according to the same level of technical work, and give each of them a nutritious meal at the end of the night."
The other party did not blame herself, and Illya breathed a sigh of relief. However, she did not agree immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Sean, this kind of situation happens everywhere in the city. Children who go to school and ordinary people Wait, there are a lot of people recruited by us to forcefully improve efficiency.”
"These days, due to problems with the administrative system, problems have arisen in all aspects of the city. We are forcibly controlling the entire economic system of Paradise City. However, although the people dare not raise their opinions, the market is still adjusting itself. Within a month, prices have risen by 30%. If we still pay normal wages to so many 'contract workers', prices will be even more difficult to control..."
Sean turned his head and laughed: "Hey, you've made a lot of progress. Before, you only knew how much the mutated scorpion tail was worth, but now you also understand the market and economy?"
Illya's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "No, I don't really understand. I've heard professional staff explain it several times... But, Mr. Sean, what I mean is..."
Sean waved his hand and interrupted her: "It's a good idea for you to have this idea. I won't have to worry about watching and learning more from now on. As for now, haha."
He smiled casually: "Didn't I say that someone will be here in a few days?"
Illya still couldn't hide the worry on her face: "I, I know, I'm not questioning you, sir, but our gap is bigger than imagined..."
Sean showed a mysterious smile, and then asked a strange question: "Illya, what do you think of Paradise City's development model?"
Illya was a little confused, but she still answered based on the knowledge she had learned these days: "I think it's very good. The development of Paradise City is countless times faster than it was a few decades ago. Your policies have given ordinary people a peaceful and prosperous life. Opportunities for promotion. Although the current problem is not small, the development speed will continue to accelerate after being solved..."
Sean shook his head: "You only saw the surface. The development speed of Paradise City is because we have brought together the power of countless people. However, under this model, people's ambitions are also lost. Everyone thinks Find a good job and work from 9 to 5. The ambition is still there, but it’s not strong enough.”
Ilia was a little confused, and she said doubtfully: "But if this kind of development continues, Paradise City will only be superior to other cities in this world. For example, this group of children, in ten or twenty years, they will be better than Their parents are so wonderful..."
Sean smiled and nodded: "That's true, but it's not enough."
"not enough?"
Facing the wind of Paradise City, Sean leisurely said: "I want this city to become a giant in this world in a short time. This requires countless talents, countless resources, and countless... ambitions."
"However, the city is developing very fast now. A word I learned is called objective law. This is the objective law of urban development. If there is no major influence involved, the law will be like this..."
Sean shook his finger and showed a calm smile that made Illya's heart beat faster.
"Paradise City is now accumulating its own capital, very quickly, but not enough. But the reality is as you said, the development speed is just like this. No matter how hard everyone works, no matter how hard I issue more policies, it won't be much faster, let alone There is still a big problem that needs to be dealt with urgently.”
"It's just that, outside of objective laws, have you ever learned another word?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Illya's throat twitched a few times and she shook her head nervously.
Sean smiled calmly: "That word is called bloody accumulation."
"What do you mean?"
Sean didn't answer directly, he just stretched his waist, his face still showed a tired and contented look.
"Go on, Paradise City will soon begin to introduce slavery."
Illya's eyes widened in disbelief.
Sean showed a smile of anticipation and enjoyment: "I want everyone to know that in this world, only by following my steps, Sean, can you live a nourished and enjoyable life... Only the people who work for me, Sean , can it truly be called..."
"【people】."
