Chapter 282 The Road to the Future

What is the Spring Festival?

I don't know... It's the first time I've heard of it.

Perhaps it is to celebrate the victory over the wave.

It's possible.

The village of the Shuangmao clan.

In the patriarch's house.

The men sat cross-legged in front of the patriarch, talking about the upcoming celebration, discussing whether to learn from those blue coats, and pasting red stickers and notes in the village.

I heard that doing so can bring prosperity and good luck.

Although I don’t know the principle, since it is the experience of the blue jackets, it is probably based on some reason.

After all, they are all so smart.

The clan leader Shuangchi did not speak, but was seriously considering the suggestions of the clans.

Celebration is the top priority in the tribe. A lively celebration is often the beginning of a prosperous population. His eldest son Frost Lu is the good marriage he found at the New Year's Day celebration. His second son Frost Shi just came to adulthood this year and is at the age of getting married.

Half a year ago, in order to avoid the war in the north, they lost too many young and middle-aged people, and now it is the time to cultivate and nourish.

but……

It costs a lot of money to hold a celebration.

Unlike the Iron Axe tribe who runs a textile factory, his neighbors came early and just happened to catch up with the good time of recovery of the trade route. They made a lot of money from the textile business, and every household in the village built brick houses.

On the other hand, most of my houses are mixed with bricks and wood.

Frostball also wanted to bring the tribe's people to become rich, but it was useless to think about it, so I had to take action.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke.

The celebration will be discussed later, and now there is something more important waiting for us to make a decision.

Everyone around the patriarch calmed down and waited for him to speak.

Frost spear paused and continued.

A few days ago, the manager summoned me to discuss that he planned to share the roughly 1,000 acres of wasteland north of the brick factory to us.

I plan to open a ranch.

This is what the manager means.

Hunting is no longer enough to fully maintain residents' demand for meat, especially eggs and milk. These two things are difficult to obtain by hunting.

The residents of those shelter have an astonishing persistence in what they eat.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this persistence that they can ate down the large wasteland on the north bank of Linghu in such a short time before spring plowing.

Hearing the clan leader's words, many people showed surprise expressions on their faces.

One thousand acres of land!

It is equivalent to a land that is one kilometer long and six or seven hundred meters wide!

Although it is an unreclaimed wasteland, this land is close to Linghu and has sufficient water sources.

And not only that, it is protected by long-term farms and shelters, without worrying about the invasion of large alien species and predators.

This kind of good thing about falling pie from the sky sounds like a dream to them.

Praise the manager!

Is he really going to give that piece of land to us?

Are there any other conditions?If it was the seller's business, I wouldn't agree!

This surprise was so sudden that no one could believe it.

Frost Spear understood their surprise very much.

Because he was the same at the beginning.

Without conditions, if the land is rented to us, we can be exempted from rent for two years. After two years, as long as we can ensure that the average monthly output of 100 cattle on the ranch will be exempted from the land rent for that year.If the monthly slaughter can reach 200, he also promised to allocate us a larger ranch.

In the words of managers, this is called agricultural subsidy.

However, in exchange, the agricultural products they produce cannot be sold to foreign merchants. Up to 20% of the products can be left in the village collective consumption or retailed to nearby local markets. The remaining 80% are all purchased uniformly according to the purchase price set by the warehouse.

As for what kind of cattle to raise, there is no limit. After all, no one can say what they can buy.

However, Shuangmao heard from his daughter Shuanghe that in the south, there are many cattle farmers who raise cattle in Jinchuan Province, not only the double-headed cows that transport goods, but also the beef cattle that slaughter quickly and the dairy cows that produce high milk.

It just so happened that the outpost recently seemed to be planning to set up a business union, and he planned to hire a caravan to try his luck there.

In addition to cattle, other livestock such as pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese also have similar subsidy policies.

The older man pondered for a while and said.

But we can't afford to buy cows...

The generous administrator was willing to lend us half a million silver coins to buy livestock and feed.

Five hundred thousand?!

The elder was shocked and looked at the patriarch in disbelief. Lord Manager... he is really willing to lend us so much?!

Even if you sell them, you can't make up 500,000 Ah!

Everyone whispered, with incredible expressions on their faces.

Frost Spear nodded seriously and said.

I believe that the manager is not making fun of me, he is a very rigorous person.I asked from my daughter who works at a trading station that she could buy a cow from merchants for about 4,000 silver coins. If she brought these specialties here to the south to purchase goods, I heard that it would be cheaper, and five rifles could be replaced from the farmers there.

Five rifles, even if they are bought at retail prices, they only cost 1,000 silver coins. I heard that they can still get 10% off when purchasing large quantities from the factory.

Looking around everyone, Frost Spear said seriously what he planned.

Our families have all sent some people to build the ranch first.I will find a way to contact the farm in the south to see if I can use weapons to exchange for one or two hundred cows from them. If conditions permit, we can raise some sheep and pigs.

With cattle and sheep, our lives will be much better next year!

Hearing the patriarch's words, everyone's expressions of excitement and yearning appeared on their faces.

They have obtained stable abodes and are able to trade labor for food from the local lords.

But if they could, of course, they would also want to become as rich as the next village and live in a house made of bricks.

However, when everyone is optimistic, some people also expressed their concerns.

There are too many 500,000 silver coins... If I can't pay it back, I'm worried that the managers will take their anger on us.

It's Ah... Even if the administrators don't blame us, they will probably expel us from here.

A young and middle-aged man only earns three or four hundred silver coins a month, and only about five thousand yuan a year without eating or drinking.

Tens of thousands of silver coins.

It's already an astronomical figure for them.

I believe that for managers, hundreds of thousands of silver coins must be a considerable amount.

Seeing the concerns on the faces of the tribesmen, Frostmao smiled and said.

I have also been worried about what you are worried about. The manager specifically told me that we don’t have to give ourselves too much psychological burden and just let go of our hands and do our best.If it really can't be paid, Changjiu Farm will take over the ranch and debts, and he will not blame us.

certainly.

No one wants to really get to that point.

Frostmao knew very well that if he really came to the point of filing for bankruptcy, even the kind manager would not blame him, and would be completely disappointed with his and his tribe's incompetence.

This money is not a small amount.

If there is another similar opportunity, they will definitely not have a share.

Frost Spear has made up his mind to do this.

Hearing the manager's promise that they would not be held accountable, the older old man finally relaxed his brows.

He stopped saying anything, but just sighed sincerely.

...Thank you for your kindness.

For an old man who is about to die, it doesn’t matter whether he or she is money or not. Watching his children comfort him and grow up is the greatest blessing.

Looking at the vibrant and hopeful faces, the old man really couldn't bear to let them live a wandering life again.

It would be too hard for such a life.

Young people are not interested in what their elders discuss, and most of the matters in the village are rarely discussed with them.

In contrast, they are curious and are most interested in celebrations, work, new things, and topics between men and women.

In the wooden house next door.

Shuangye and Shuangxue were pulling their sister who had returned from Changjiu Farm, listening enthusiastically to her about what happened at work.

The trading post is very busy, working six days a week, busy from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with only one hour lunch break in between.

It takes 2 silver coins to get back to the outpost by bus. In order to save money, she usually lives in the staff dormitory of the trading post and will only take the bus back on Saturday nights.

Every time she came back, she had endless things to say with her two sisters, especially when she was looked at by those two pairs of shiny eyes, she instantly felt that all the fatigue in her body was healed.

When my sister talked about interesting things and interesting people she encountered at the trading post, she suddenly spoke up with her hands holding her cheeks.

When will my sister take her brother-in-law home?

Shuanghe smiled and touched her little head.

You have to have talent.

Shuangxue, who was sitting upright, asked curiously.

Wouldn't you meet a lot of people there?

Shuanghe made a helpless expression.

Those are all merchants and mercenaries... it is impossible to find them.

Frostxue nodded as though she understood.

Á, then forget it.

Business Ah.

That's not a good family.

Although they have not come into contact with many businessmen, they still have some impression of this profession, although they are not a good impression.

There are few people who are gentle and pure when walking on the deserted wasteland.

The merchants were worried that they were robbed by the poor and crazy refugees and usually did not do business with them. The refugees were also afraid of the merchants and his guards, and rarely took the initiative to approach the past.

These people may have some money in their pockets, but few people envy them.These people are not only rude, rarely take a bath, but they don't stay in one place for too long.

Not to mention the mercenaries.

Maybe there are good people.

But there are not many good people.

In Shuanghe's opinion, those who can be her husband must at least have a stable job nearby.

Of course, it would be even better if it was a handsome and handsome refuge resident.

It’s a pity that those people’s words are really difficult to understand.

Shuangye sighed softly and muttered in a low voice.

That's great... I want to go to work, too.

The eldest brother Frost Lu and the second brother Frost Shi work in the Hunter Union. They can get more than 300 silver coins a month, and occasionally they can bring some prey assigned by the union back to the village.

Their brave sister Shuanghe went to work at the trading station. Although her basic salary was not high, she was responsible for two meals a day, and she also heard that the things sold were also given a commission.

Shuangye also wanted to go out to work, but she was not old enough.

Although according to tribal practice, 14 years old is considered an adult, the shelter forced them to raise the adult standards for two years and required all men and women under 16 to receive at least 6 hours of language and arithmetic literacy education every day.

Shuangye didn't understand why there were such strange regulations. In short, according to her father's words, she was an adult last year, but this year she became a child.

Speaking of which, it seems that a new trade union has been established at the outpost recently and is now recruiting people.Seeing his sisters with envious expressions, Shuanghe felt a little moved and suddenly remembered this.

Shuangxue asked curiously immediately.

Are there any requirements?

Shuanghe pursed her lips and thought about it seriously.

Field personnel have 6 months of attendance each year, requiring rich experience in the wild, and those who have already started a family will give priority to it.The staff of the staff are mainly clerks and tellers, and they require about twenty people. The basic requirements are reading and writing skills and arithmetics. The bonus points are young, upright facial features, beautiful image, patience, gentleness and generosity...

Young and have a positive facial features, a good image and patient... and gentle and generous. The youngest Shuangye thought loudly in her mouth, and suddenly her eyes lit up and looked at her second sister sitting next to her, looking up and down.

Shuangxue's cheeks turned slightly red when her sister looked at her.

What do you think I'm doing?

I think snow is the most suitable!

I immediately understood what the little sister meant, Shuanghe hugged Shuangxue's shoulder and instigated her with a smile.

Let's give it a try, how can you know if it's OK if it doesn't?And I heard that the Trade Union of the Trade Union is an organization directly responsible for by the administrator, and is at the same level as the Hunter Union!

Excellent performance will definitely be reused!

If she hadn't been working at a trading post for a while and didn't want to change jobs frequently, she would have wanted to give it a try!

Frosnow's cheeks were a little hot.

She thought of the embarrassing thing at the last New Year's Day party.

At that time, at the instigation of people, she was also at the forefront and mustered up the courage to come forward and invite the manager to dance together.

Dear manager, he is really a kind person, and approachable, even the words he refuses to do so are so gentle.

Even so, she was still depressed for a while...

oh!Administrators will take responsibility!Shuangye, who was obedient and only listened to half a sentence, looked at her second sister Shuangxue in her sister's arms with shiny eyes, and said encouragemently, "Sister, go quickly, come on!"

Shuangxue didn't care about her image anymore, and she blushed and pinched her sister's creaking nest.

You little dear... are you talking stupid things!

Frost Ye was giggling.

It was noisy until evening, and the eldest brother and the second brother came back with a wild boar. Only then did the three of them and their sister-in-law come over to help deal with the prey.

In the evening, Shuangxue thought for a long time, but finally got up the courage to fill out the registration form at the recruitment point on North Street before 8 o'clock.

Perhaps because her handwriting is well written, her temperament is not as barbaric as other nomads and refugees. The next day her name appears on the recruitment list.

There were ten people in the first batch of public announcements, all of whom were in the office staff, and she was assigned to the front desk.

The daily salary is 13 silver coins, which is slightly higher than that of the Hunter Union, and the working hours are the same as those of the bank, from 8 am to 6 pm.

The address of the Trade Union of the Trade Union is located at the outpost, near the north gate. It is a three-story building that has been repaired before and has not been hung up.

With excitement and uneasiness, Shuangxue came to the Trade Union for induction training under the instructions of the recruiting staff.

However……

When she got here, she did not see the manager.

Apart from nine other colleagues from Bet Street, Changjiu Farm or the village next door, there is only an old man who doesn't seem to walk very well.

Looking around the faces full of energy and excitement, Old Charlie, who was behind his back with his hands on his back, pondered for a while and coughed gently.

He said in a calm voice when everyone calmed down.

Starting today, you are employees of the Trade Union.

What you have to do is to open up sales for our factories and open up invisible territory wherever we can see.

I know you may not understand what I said, but don’t worry, I will explain to you what I want to do soon.

Now I need you to remember to always keep a smile at work, always be optimistic in the face of difficulties, complete everything seriously, and make sure that every chapter you stamped is worthy of your conscience.

Your performance will be included in the file through the VM on your arm, and those who are serious and have excellent and reliable can be promoted soon.But if we accept bribes, engage in favoritism, or act cleverly, we will soon see him in the labor camp.

This is a task assigned by the manager himself, and I hope you can understand the weight of this sentence.

……

The Industries Trade Unions play a very important role in Chu Guang's layout of the B round of tests, and is even more important than the Hunters Union.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left it to Old Charlie.

The new mayor of Bet Street is voted by the townsmen themselves and selected from candidates nominated by the street office.

Those who can be nominated are people with management experience, and a mature model has been formed there, and it is not a big problem to choose who to go up.

During his tenure, Charlie Old has cultivated a lot of management talents.

Maybe he guessed that one day he would be transferred, so he even arranged the teachers who taught the literacy class on his behalf.

At present, with the continuous efforts of players and indigenous people, the industrial zone of the outpost has evolved from a single industrial chain model centered on the No. 81 Steel Plant and driving the development of several small weapons workshops together to a new model for multiple pillar industries to drive the comprehensive development of small and medium-sized factories.

The industrial zone continues to expand northward.

With the continuous input of external resources and the high enthusiasm of players to produce, relying solely on the northern suburbs is no longer enough to digest all the products of the industrial zone.

Although foreign merchants can take away some, they cannot always wait for others to come to the door. The caravans in the shelter must also pull a flag and go out for two steps.

There are many survivor settlements on the wasteland.

Many small settlements like Bet Street cannot even rub bullets, and they use bows, steel bars, iron pipe rifles and even front-loaded smoothbore guns.

Some slightly larger survivors may be outrageous in some areas due to insufficient inheritance of pre-war heritage, but some areas have degenerated into the pre-Industrial Revolution or even primitive society.

Use bionic people to plow the fields, clone the population as slaves, and trenchers launch miniature nuclear warheads, and use black boxes as miracles to provide... There are too many similar things.

The goods produced in Shelter No. 404 may not be the most advanced, but they are definitely the most cost-effective.

When selling goods outside, you can also export a little bit of conscience from the northern suburbs and take advantage of humankind's common yearning for a better life.

In the evening.

Chu Guang, who had been patrolling the base from Changjiu Farm, happened to meet old Charlie who had just finished the induction training for the employees when he was passing by the door of the trade union.

What's the situation?

Between the age of sixteen and twenty-five, I have chosen all the people who have been educated in literacy and can use them, and I guess I can recruit thirty or forty.As he said that, Old Charlie sighed softly and complained in a low voice, "We were established too late and all the talents were picked up by other places."

Chu Guang: Thank you for your hard work!

Old Charlie shook his head.

Thank you so hard, it is also an unexpected surprise for me, a degenerate wastelander.Although I don't have much hope,... maybe you are different from us and others.

After pausing for a while, the old man continued in a joking tone.

Everyone is disappointed that they didn’t see you. I feel that many people came for you. Do you really not show your face?

Chu Guang said helplessly.

Don’t look at me, I only have a little time since I was busy in the morning until now.

Most people just need to worry about the work they have.

But as the manager of Shelter No. 404, he has to take into account the affairs of both worlds at the same time, and constantly switch between planning and NPC's identities, taking into account the different demands of two completely different groups as much as possible.

It's equivalent to being a father and being a mother.

Thanks to those twenty points of intelligence, the players he personally selected were quite worry-free, otherwise Chu Guang would have suspected that he might not have done this job.

He was so busy that he had no time to find materials.

understand.

Old Charlie nodded slightly and continued, but IMHO, you may need to consider the future path more than the details of how to go at each step.

This sentence is so obscure that Chu Guang is not sure whether his understanding of the same meaning as he wants to express.

for example?

You led your people to defeat barbarity, and then to defeat the waves that were considered invincible. In your opinion, this may be just a trivial matter, or a natural thing, but I can see the storm waves that set off in people's hearts, and you led them to create miracles.

Old Charlie said softly.

From the markets of Long Farm to the alleys of Bet Street, people are talking about your achievements, how to speak to everyone, and feel extremely lucky, proud and proud of living under your protection.

The flattery was caught off guard, and even someone with a thicker face than the door of the shelter could not help but cough.

Thank you for the compliment.

You may think I'm flattering, but I'm talking about it very seriously.

Old Charlie paused and continued with a serious expression.

Your residents are proud, but also distressed, they don't know how to call themselves... The people of the Rock City ridiculed them as rural blokes in the northern suburbs and rats running around in the ruins. They knew they were not, but they couldn't think of what they were.

Some live on Bet Street, some live on outposts, and some are in industrial areas, or the village at the west gate of Changjiu Farm... They have never been to the shelter, and of course they cannot be considered residents of Shelter No. 404.

When facing a common crisis, people will naturally unite, but they must have the name of continuing to unite.

Chu Guang said thoughtfully.

I probably understand what you mean.

In fact, he has been thinking about this for a long time.

The new version is not just a new version for players, but will also be a new page for the survivors in the northern suburbs.

Old Charlie nodded.

Whether you plan to be the emperor of the empire or the chief of the alliance, it is better to think of yourself a name or title.

People need a name that can be united, and a legitimate identity.Whatever it is, having is better than not.

This celebration is a good opportunity!
