And even in the base city, due to the shortage of survival resources, many commodities such as food, water, medicine, etc. not only have to be purchased with money, but also require various tickets.
Like in slums, you have to redeem water stamps to use water.
In the past, the water supply in the slums was occupied by the ‘sewage plant’, one of the seven major societies.
Except for communities like Guang'an Community that have their own sweet water wells, other people who want to use water not only have to bear high water prices, but also have to pay other costs.
In the base city, drinking water is always in short supply.
Many people in the slums have never had a bath in their lives.
Even many people in law-enforced areas use air dry cleaning to clean their bodies and wash their clothes.
In addition to water, food is also in short supply.
Most people in the slums have never eaten meat or vegetables in their lives.
I have never eaten white noodles.
I ate cheap mixed nutrition porridge.
This is a paste mixed with various so-called nutrients. It is produced by specialized companies and supplied to most civilians and poor people. It has no taste at all, but it can satisfy people and save their lives.
In the past, the management rights of mixed nutrition porridge were monopolized by six major associations besides the sewage treatment plant.
The people at the bottom of the slums live a very miserable life.
People in law-governed areas are not much better.
On the contrary, people from the five major families enjoy themselves and have no worries about food and clothing.
But they are all based on the exploitation of the people at the bottom.
Over the years, the government has been committed to eradicating poverty and achieving social equity.
It is a pity that the power of martial arts families and gangs, after so many years of development, has occupied important positions and industries in many places, and has gradually become too big to be controlled by the government.
In comparison, the efforts and results achieved by the government of the Republic of Daxia in this regard are already among the best in the world.
In many countries in other administrative regions, ordinary people are really living in dire straits.
"Bury our fallen brothers with dignity and treat their families with kindness."
President Li once again solemnly gave important instructions: "No matter who dares to commit fraud in this regard, I will send him to see the old president and confess in person... I will do what I say."
Everyone was in awe.
"President, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to you separately."
Chu Yuntian came closer and said in a low voice.
"Go to my office."
Li Xiaofei walked towards the small building.
It looks like something big is going on.
… …
In the office.
Chu Yuntian finally couldn't restrain his excitement and said, "President, we found a clean water source in the wilderness."
"What?"
Li Xiaofei was shocked.
Clean water!
These four words are enough to make countless people in the base city go crazy.
"sure?"
Li Xiaofei couldn't believe it.
There were so many expedition teams and professional survey teams in the wilderness, but none of the clean water sources was discovered. How come it was discovered by an amateur team like the Slum Hunting Team?
Moreover, the slum hunting team only explores the suburbs.
This area should have been thoroughly explored long ago.
"Absolutely true."
Chu Yuntian said excitedly, "That is a newly opened spring, hidden deep in a cave. I happened to find it when I was hunting a 'Moyun Rabbit'... Look."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a bottle.
There is more than half a bottle of water in it.
Li Xiaofei took it, opened the bottle cap and took a sniff.
The taste is normal.
"I have tested it, let some small animals drink it, tested it with a water quality tester, and drank a little myself. It is absolutely clean and without any pollution."
Chu Yuntian quickly promised.
"How much water is there?"
Li Xiaofei asked again.
A look of fanaticism appeared on Chu Yuntian's face, and he said, "The spring is located in a stone pit, and groundwater is continuously flowing out. The amount of water is not small. If there is a hidden transportation channel, it will be enough for our entire slum."
"so much?"
Li Xiaofei was also shocked.
Chu Yuntian said again, "I have observed carefully. This spring has only appeared recently, so it has not been discovered by others... President, we must take action as soon as possible, otherwise, if it is discovered by others, we may not be able to compete."
Li Xiaofei fell into deep thought.
From Chu Yuntian's description, we can know that the amount of water in this spring is not small.
And it can be used endlessly.
This will be a great fortune.
You can make a lot of money by transporting these pure water sources to the base city
.
But the question is, do slums have this energy?
A great man once said that if there is a profit of 20%, capital will be ready to take risks; if there is a profit of 50%, capital will take risks; if there is a profit of 100%, capital will dare to take risks.
Risk hanging; if there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample all laws in the world.
Once this news gets out, the five major families will definitely be tempted.
When the time comes, what will the slums have to compete with others?
In terms of power, resources, connections, and hard power, the slums are no match in any of these aspects.
Just a few masters of breaking the shackles can demolish the slums.
"Lao Chu, early tomorrow morning, you select a group of loyal and reliable brothers to lead a convoy out once, transport back as much clean water as possible and store it. Then, I will directly donate this clean water source to the base city government."
Li Xiaofei made a decision.
"Donate to the government?"
Chu Yuntian felt a pain in his face.
But when he calmed down, he immediately realized that this was the best choice.
As a person, you can't be too greedy.
Otherwise, it is very likely that he will die without a burial place.
Once the news about the water source is exposed, the slums will not be able to hold on to such wealth and resources.
If you donate to the government, you can get some tangible benefits.
In recent years, the government has acted very fairly.
Especially for the first discoverers and donors of important resources, there are huge rewards.
"Okay, President, I'll get ready right now."
Chu Yuntian turned around and went out excitedly.
Li Xiaofei rubbed his head.
These things are so damn annoying.
Being a boss is really hard work.
In comparison, it is easier to be a student.
Li Xiaofei took out his portable optical computer and prepared to call the bandit principal.
But after thinking about it, I decided to meet up tomorrow morning.
If the phone is monitored or something, big trouble will happen.
After handling all the trivial matters at Yuntianshe, Li Xiaofei couldn't wait to ride his heavy motorcycle back to Guang'an Community.
As soon as I walked in, I asked about the smell of the rice.
"Brother Xiaofei, you are back."
Xiaojie set out the dishes and said with a smile, "dinner is ready."
r>
On the dining table, there are four dishes and one soup.
There is meat and vegetables.
There is actually a bottle of juice drink.
"So rich?"
Li Xiaofei asked casually, "Is today a holiday?"
Xiaojie smiled happily and said, "This is to celebrate Brother Xiaofei for being awarded the most valuable student in the first round of the league. This is a big happy event. My aunt and I prepared it together. Are you happy?"
"You know everything?"
Li Xiaofei smiled and sat down.
Xiaojie raised her head in admiration and said, "Of course, our school organized a game viewing event, and many students watched the Hongqi High School game... Brother Xiaofei, you are so handsome."
Li Xiaofei touched the little girl's head and said, "Study hard and you will be more handsome in the future."
Maybe it's because the nutrition she eats has kept up recently, so this dark and skinny little girl has gained some weight.
Especially the cheeks were filled with flesh and finally rounded up.
The sparse light yellow hair also became black and smooth.
Although her skin is still dark, she already has a bit of a delicate appearance.
Compared with a month ago, I feel healthy and confident.
"I will definitely study hard."
Xiaojie took out a USB flash drive and treated it like a treasure, saying, "This is the video of Brother Xiaofei that I downloaded..."
Li Xiaofei said "???"
I don’t remember taking a short video.
After a while, the aunt finished preparing the herbal medicine, washed her hands and came to the restaurant.
Xiaojie inserted the USB flash drive into the TV.
On this old-fashioned LCD 4K TV, highlights of Li Xiaofei's first round match began to be played.
call.
Li Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out to be this kind of video.
The food at home is always delicious.
Li Xiaofei observed secretly and found that his aunt was also very serious about watching the video.
I don't know why, but he is willing to show himself in front of his aunt.
It's like a child who performs well and hopes to be praised by his parents.
After "watching" the video, my aunt didn't say anything.
Li Xiaofei guided Xiaojie to practice breathing techniques, and then went back to the room to sleep.
Early the next morning.
He had just arrived at school when he received great news.
