Chapter 1440: May the warehouse be full of food, and may hope last forever!
One month can be said to be short or long.
Placing it in the boulder territory is enough to completely change the appearance of the entire territory and revolutionize productivity from beginning to end.
But in the Tianyuan territory, it is just enough to carry out some basic work.
The influx of nearly 400,000 people is not only a surge in numbers, but also a severe test of the territory's ability to improve people's livelihood.
How to settle this huge population is only the initial challenge.
The real highlight is how to rationally allocate each person to various positions based on their abilities and expertise, ensuring that everyone can maximize their value and jointly promote the development of Tianyuan Territory.
Sumo listened quietly to Dean Qiao's report, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement.
After traveling all over the country, visiting many territories, and seeing many management models, he increasingly felt that there are specialties in the art industry, and it was undoubtedly the wisest choice to leave matters in certain professional fields to people like Qiao Yuansheng.
.
Half a moment.
Thinking of the heavy rain that swept the entire southern plate for a week, Sumo couldn't help but ask:
"It has been raining in the south recently. Our farmland has not been affected, right?"
"Of course it doesn't matter."
Qiao Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "The lord has forgotten that our farmland is contracted. The terms have been clearly stated from the beginning. Those who need to contract must first build the farmland to a certain disaster resistance standard before they are allowed to plant.
, Now let alone a week of heavy rain, it will be no problem even if it rains heavily for a month."
If it rains heavily for a month, even wheat made of iron will be soaked until it becomes soft.
Su Mo smiled, knowing that this was Mr. Qiao's words to reassure him, and he was happy to enjoy this feeling of peace of mind.
However, when he thought of the large fields sown during spring plowing, Sumo couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
Although the population size is much different from that of Yu Sanjia, the amount of cultivated land in Tianyuan Territory is quite large, far exceeding that of those large territories. As long as the crops grown this time are harvested, it is enough to supply the consumption of nearly 10 million people for a year.
"If the lord is really worried, can't he check the situation outside through the virtual realm?"
"That's right, the recent situation in the south is a bit scary, and I feel relieved after just one look."
As Su Mo thought, the scene in the conference room began to fade, and the sound of pattering rain rang in his ears.
This heavy rain is the rain that marks the transition from summer to autumn in the wasteland.
Not only did it cover the south, central, west, and east, it was also affected, but the rainfall was relatively small.
boom.
Lightning and thunder rumbled high in the sky, and from time to time a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, leaving long and narrow electric traces.
From a high position, with the help of a moment of light, you can vaguely see the crops around Hope Town that are moving with the wind and rain.
"Get closer, or change your perspective."
Somo's voice fell.
Zero, who controlled the virtual world, automatically found a young player who had just left the town, and his perspective changed.
During this time in the Boulder Territory, Somo went out a lot.
Especially the first few transactions, he led people out, and he basically knew the status of the surrounding territories.
Being tense and not daring to relax all the time is the most common state.
From top to bottom, as the rain intensified, everyone's spirits were like a bowstring tightened, fearing that there would be even the slightest flaw.
But at this moment, the little player in his field of vision seemed extremely relaxed.
A complete plastic raincoat covers you from head to toe.
The thick black rubber rain boots made a popping sound when stepped on the ground. Occasionally, I passed by a puddle of water, but I couldn't walk any further.
The figure hummed an unknown song and staggered to the road sign with 'Bus'.
After waiting for almost four or five minutes, a car with the same appearance as a modern city bus drove up from a distance and slowly stopped beside the road sign.
"Uncle Li, you have worked hard at night, and I want you to continue working overtime."
After shaking off the water from his feet, the figure walked up from the opened front door of the bus and said hello with a smile.
The driver, Uncle Li, was a middle-aged man who was over forty years old. His eyes were squeezed into slits when he smiled.
Looking at the figure walking up, he quickly smiled and said:
"Sun Cheng, Uncle Li doesn't like hearing what you say. Compared with you, why am I working so hard?"
"Hey, our job looks hard, but it's actually quite leisurely."
Sun Cheng chuckled. There was water on his body, so he stopped sitting. Otherwise, Uncle Li would have to clean it later, which would be really troublesome.
While the vehicle was waiting, four people came up one after another, all wearing raincoats.
Everyone seemed to know each other, chatting together, and seemed to be in a very relaxed state of mind.
Just before the vehicle started moving, another man got up.
Seeing Sun Cheng standing in front, the man couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Chengzi, you are a rare visitor. I am on duty at night but I never see you like this!"
"Liuzi, your words make my grandson seem to be lazy every day. Shouldn't I work all day during the day? The principal knew that my mother-in-law was about to give birth some time ago, so he didn't arrange night shifts for me.
And you also know that it's fine during the day, and you can hear the neighbors' screams, but at night everyone has been busy all day and slept like crazy, so how can I dare to leave?"
Sun Cheng said with a smile. Even though everyone couldn't see his expression, they could feel him grinning.
"Hey, you're working the night shift now. Mother-in-law has given birth?"
Liu Zi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but envy him.
This young man moves so fast that no one else can find a partner to live with. They are about to have children.
"Not yet, but in terms of time, I have met the requirements. Now that I am admitted to Kaixuan Hospital, I feel relieved."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"You're so lucky, Chengzi. Our territory now has a lot of subsidies for newborn babies. If your mother-in-law gives birth to one, she won't have to work for the next two months."
"Hey, why do you say it so sourly? I'll give you a subsidy. Why don't you let your mother-in-law give birth to a child and enjoy the blessing?"
"Go away, I'm already forty-five, why do I need a child? I want to be your brother?"
A few people were noisy, and although their words were a bit sour about the subsidy, their blessings were genuine.
Whether in modern times or in the wasteland, human civilization always needs to be passed down from generation to generation to continue.
Furthermore, the more newborns there are, the more it proves that the current territorial environment is stable?
After blessing, the car was still driving to the next stop when Uncle Li interrupted:
"Hahaha, once Chengzi becomes a father, the house he was allocated before may not be enough to live in, so he will have to buy one by himself, right?"
"Yeah, right"
Sun Cheng didn't shy away from it and nodded simply: "I plan to buy a house in the new district and move there. I also plan to resign from my job after the child is born and find a new one there."
"Are you going to the new area?"
The people in the car were suddenly shocked.
Although there has been a large influx of foreigners recently, very few of them can be assigned to the old district.
Of the 400,000 people, at most 10,000 or 20,000 were assigned to major factories in Longteng Village, and the rest worked in the expanded factories in the new district.
From the bottom of my heart, people living in the old neighborhoods still have a sense of superiority.
Not only does it have more mature living facilities and more welfare distribution, the neighborhood relationship is also more comfortable than living among a group of strangers.
Leaving Hope Town is equivalent to giving up the status of an old resident who has lived there for a long time and competing with newcomers.
According to the conservative character of the Chinese people, everyone could not help but advise:
"Shengzi, you have to think clearly. There will only be more and more people in the new area, and the competition will become more and more fierce. Even if the price of buying a house is not expensive, don't sacrifice the good to chase the bad?"
"It's just that your current house is crowded and you can live in it. It's not worth it to live more comfortably."
"Keep it. The jobs here are so stable. Although the wages are lower than those in the new district, the pressure is relatively less."
"Uncle, to put it bluntly, if there is an alien attack in the future, it will definitely be safer to stay in the old area."
You said something, I said something, and everyone tried to persuade Sun Cheng.
Su Mo subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Qiao Yuansheng. Although such conservative thoughts were considered normal in the wasteland, and few people would take the initiative to leave their comfortable and safe living area, the territory could not ignore it and allow this kind of behavior.
Ideas ferment among small groups.
Feeling Su Mo's gaze, Qiao Yuansheng smiled slightly, without explaining, and motioned to continue reading.
Soon, something unexpected happened to Sumo.
After being persuaded by a group of people, Sun Cheng could still stick to his own ideas.
"That's true, but I have already thought about it, and my mother-in-law and my parents' family also support my decision."
"Ah? Your family members also support it?" Uncle Li said in surprise.
He and Sun Cheng's family are neighbors, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the person who knows their character best.
The reason why he married his daughter to Sun Cheng was because he was a hard-working young man who would not cheat or cheat.
If they can all support Sun Cheng leaving the town and going to the new district, then there must be something else to say.
"That's for sure. If it were my decision, they might have to come and take my skin off."
A muffled thunder sounded, making Sun Cheng shrink his head in fright.
He is an honest man, but his mother-in-law's family is really tough, and his eldest uncle and second uncle help him with all the little things.
If this idea is really unreliable, I'm afraid my uncle will be able to skin him that night.
"We are also considered frontline workers in farming. Everyone must have an idea of how much food can be harvested during this autumn harvest. Even if the population increases several times in the future, there will definitely be no shortage of food and clothing.
of."
"But think about it, since there is no shortage of food, how much can the salary of us frontline workers who are responsible for growing food improve? With the current development speed of the territory, mechanized planting and harvesting is just around the corner. By then, I am afraid that even if the salary is not lowered, everyone will be considered a garden owner.
The territory has been merciful, but what’s even worse is that we have to go to the new district to find work, what should we do?”
Sun Cheng said a few words, causing the car to fall into silence.
A bumper grain harvest is already a certainty.
Wherever they, the front-line workers responsible for planting, go recently, they can't hide the joy between their eyebrows.
But how do you say that saying?
The cunning rabbit dies, the good dog is cooked, the high bird is gone, and the good bow is hidden.
After the territory's grain storehouse is filled, if they want to continue to improve their salary, I'm afraid it's just like what Sun Cheng said. It's not just extravagant hopes, but they also have to worry about the risk of being "unemployed" all the time.
Instead of passively waiting for the territory to send orders, it is better to take the first step and proactively look for opportunities.
Take advantage of the fact that there are not many people around and still have the aura of contribution from the old residents.
If you go to the staff of the Logistics Department, they may give you some preferential treatment because of your status.
"Then we don't know anything else?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't learn it. With route help and training courses offered by the territory, what can't you learn?"
Sun Cheng didn't care: "As you all know, my uncle has been a landlubber for nearly thirty years. Recently, he has not just learned how to swim and build a boat. In a short time, I'm afraid he will have to buy his own boat and start sailing."
."
"I'm planning to save more money and take a share in my uncle's new ship. I heard him say that this business can make much more money than our farming."
When it comes to making money, for a person who cultivates the land, it has the meaning of ending the topic.
Although their plantation jobs seem stable, the pay is really not high.
For example, the factory in Longteng Village will give out various benefits based on the income every once in a while, but the plantation really has nothing, and you can't even steal a meal.
If you go to a new area now, the competitive pressure is indeed not that great, and the old residents will definitely receive a lot of care.
This is something everyone knows secretly, but not many people care about it.
When Sun Cheng said this, a group of people were excited and had no intention of continuing to gossip.
Soon, the car stopped under a road sign marked "Plantation".
The back door opened, and a group of people stepped on the water, braved the rain, and left in all directions with slightly heavy steps.
On the other hand, when Sun Cheng saw this situation, the worries he had accumulated in his heart became lighter.
He was actually not very determined about going to the new district. He just felt that after the child was born, he could not suffer any more with him.
Considering that there is a subsidy for going to the new area now, I secretly made a decision.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle supported his risky decision because they were traveling abroad and had no nostalgia for their status as old residents.
But those people just now are different. They are used to being old-fashioned, and they may not be able to be persuaded by him in a few words.
After a while, Sun Cheng walked to the field, turned on his flashlight and started patrolling along the ridges.
The seedlings are growing densely in the ground, and huge, plump fruits hang from the heads of the seedlings, hanging down heavily.
A little wind and rain hit it, but only the outermost part was knocked off, and the main part was not affected much.
After walking along the ridge, Sun Cheng returned to the hut at the edge of the field and sat down with confidence. He opened his backpack and took out a flatbread filled with sesame seeds, and ate it one bite at a time with warm water and pickles.
From now on, he needs to get up and patrol every hour and a half to prevent any accidents from happening.
Sumo looked at it for a while and couldn't help but swallowed.
The food in the Boulder Territory is actually not bad, but it is still not comparable to the food in the Tianyuan Territory. Even if it is just pickled vegetable pancakes, the flavor is still not inferior to those modern meals.
"Lord, how about I have someone prepare a table for you to satisfy your cravings?" Qiao Yuansheng said with a smile.
"Forget it, I'll have plenty of time to eat in the future, so I won't miss this one or two bites."
Su Mo shook his head, his eyes moved, and he said: "Number Zero, follow the other people in the carriage just now."
Sun Cheng's idea was not surprising to him. There was never a shortage of people who dared to take risks in the wasteland.
What interested Sumo even more was the behavior of those people after listening to what he had just said.
The screen flickered, and the first person tracked was Uncle Li.
After sending this group of people off to the plantation, Uncle Li turned the car around and headed back toward the town.
This is the last bus.
After handing over the car, Uncle Li's eyes were a little distracted when he was cleaning the car, and he was still muttering: "Sun Cheng, this kid, didn't see it, he is so brave. He is so brave, he is much bigger than me!"
Uncle Li's sighs were a little confusing, but when he put on his raincoat and returned home, these sighs had answers instantly.
