Imagine the world

It's not that the city has been transformed in three days. The new alliance has just completed the takeover, restored the most basic order, and greatly improved the security situation, laying the foundation for the next work.

While the new alliance took over the main city, many riots occurred in many towns on the outskirts.The local people heard that the gang leader who controlled the local area had been suppressed, or the gang members heard that the bosses could not come back, some began to pack up their belongings, smashed the safe and prepared to run away, and some took the opportunity to let themselves go...

This is also an unavoidable event. It is impossible for the new alliance to spread its forces too far. After the main city is basically controlled, it will allocate its forces to clean up the suburban towns.

There were no disturbances in the border town, airport town, and two other towns where the troops were stationed, and Sanhu Town was also calm, but there were more or less riots in the other six suburban towns, and many shops and the residences of gang leaders were looted.But the riot was quickly quelled, the police station and the neighborhood committee were directly landed, cadres were in place, and military control was temporarily implemented.

It took about ten days from the vanguard of the New Alliance Army to control the entire territory of Banda City.The new alliance killed more than 400 people in total, excluding surrendered prisoners of war defending the front, and captured more than 1000 more.

There are eighteen districts in Banda City, seven districts in the main city, and eleven suburban towns. There is only one place that is very special. The new alliance did not send anyone to take it over, and it is Sanhu Town.When occupying Banda City, Huazhenxing sent someone to deliver something to Sanhu Restaurant, calling for it to be handed over to Xiao Guang.

In Sanhu Restaurant in Sanhu Town, the business here seems to have not been affected, and it is even busier than usual.Many people in the town have heard about the recent major events. Another armed force has risen, called the New Alliance, which has replaced and incorporated the Guard Front.

Many people's first reaction is, what does it matter to me?

According to historical experience, no matter who controls the city of Banda, isn't life still the same?But the New Alliance is indeed a bit different from the Guardian Front. It is said that they took down all the gang leaders in Airport Town in one fell swoop, and then drove large forces into the main city.

It seems that the new alliance is unwilling to share the city with these local gang forces, but wants to completely control and search the city. After all, they are forces from Port Fiso and have not cooperated with local gangs in the past.

All kinds of riots in the main city and the surrounding townships are happening one after another, and the army of the New Alliance is quickly suppressing them. Only Sanhu Town is still calm.

Many tourists who were originally on vacation in Sanhu Town also planned to stay here for two more days, so they had to wait until the situation stabilized.The view of many people is still - what business does this have to do with me?

Compared with the local aborigines, most of the customers who can come to Sanhu Town for consumption are either rich or expensive.They own properties and run businesses in Banda City, and have inextricably linked with the gangs. They often pay protection fees to major gangs, and sometimes hire gangs to handle affairs.

Although the major gangs have been eradicated now, as long as the purpose of the new alliance is to control the city, the rest will be easy to handle.With whom is cooperation not cooperation?It might be a good thing to only deal with the forces of the new alliance. Now it depends on how the new alliance restores order.

Many people stayed in Sanhu Town to wait and see the situation, and some people did not dare to go back. They were deeply involved with certain gangs and almost became a community of interests. Now they are thinking about how to get rid of the traces of the past and re-establish a new alliance Build relationships.

There are also many overseas tourists in Sanhu Town. Because of the riots in Banda City, many travel groups have come to Sanhu Town to temporarily settle down.According to experience, no matter what kind of conflicts, these overseas tourists basically have nothing to do, as long as they avoid the time and place where the riots are happening.

The hotels, B&Bs, and holiday villas in Sanhu Town are almost fully occupied, and the business of restaurants is of course also very good.In the corner of the hall on the first floor, three old men occupied a table. Yang Tehong took the menu and ordered the dishes for the table. The portion was enough for ten people.

The waiter originally wanted to persuade them to change to a smaller table instead of occupying the eight-seater round table, but after seeing what old man Yang ordered, he gave up the idea and asked instead: "Do you have any companions coming? "

Old man Yang took out two bottles of wine from nowhere, waved his hands and said, "There is no one else, just the three of us, hurry up and serve."

Waiter: "There are a lot of customers today, and the back kitchen is busy, so I have to trouble you to wait a little longer."

Old man Yang: "I ordered several cold dishes just now, they should be prepared in advance, serve them first to accompany the wine."

Mo Shangyu has always been kind, and after the waiter left, he whispered: "Today is Xiao Ke's treat, why did you order so many dishes?"

Old man Yang: "It's not that I can't eat it! Besides, I brought wine. The ten tables here can't compare to my two bottles of wine!"

Ke Mengchao smiled wryly, "That's the truth."

The food here is not cheap, but Ke Mengchao can afford it.His old man is the director of Huan Xiang Industrial, he gets the highest salary, and he doesn't spend much on weekdays.

Ke Mengchao said he wanted to visit Sanhu Town, but Old Man Yang said he wasn't interested.Ke Mengchao also said that he was treating guests at the Sanhu Restaurant, and Old Man Yang said that was fine, and brought two bottles of wine along the way, and Mo Shangtong also came with him.

Old man Yang's words were right. The two bottles of wine he brought were at least ten times more expensive than the table of dishes he ordered just now.

In a box on the third floor, the hot dishes on the table were not served, and a few cold dishes were brought for appetizers. Hua Zhenxing was talking with Shire after closing the door, and at the same time, he was setting up a Longyin enchantment.

The name of the so-called Longyin Barrier seems mysterious, but it’s actually not that high-end. It’s just covering an area with spiritual consciousness so that the sound waves can’t go out. people can talk freely.

For a cultivator in the four realms, setting up a sound barrier in the entire private room usually only casts spells for a short time when necessary. Hua Zhenxing doesn't seem to have this kind of awareness. After closing the door, he has been covering the sound in the room.This method is not a panacea, at least he knows in his heart that he can't hide it from the three old men on the first floor.

Hua Zhenxing came to negotiate with Xiao Guang and the other three brothers today. The information has already been given to the other party. The policies and purposes of the new alliance have been introduced in detail. It depends on the attitude of the three brothers.

After hearing about it, Charles will also come along.If he didn't know that the three old men would come to eat today, Hua Zhenxing would never have dared to let Shire come, and even he himself would not ask each other to meet in this way.

After all, this is the territory of the three brothers. The three Dongguo monks have been operating in Sanhu Town for 20 years. If the talks break down and there is a conflict, Hua Zhenxing himself is not sure that he will be able to retreat unscathed.

Therefore, Hua Zhenxing absolutely cannot let Shire be in danger. After handing over the paper crane given by old man Yang to Shire last time, Hua Zhenxing never asked for the paper crane back. He also knew that it could save Shire at a critical moment. Life.

But the three old people are sitting on the first floor, what else is Hua Zhenxing afraid of?Come on, come on, Charles wants to come together, anyway, he didn't intend to do anything, the purpose of today is just to meet and communicate, and it is more convenient for Charles to decide on some things.

The three elders have said long ago that they will no longer interfere in the affairs of the new alliance, and let Hua Zhenxing and Shire decide everything on their own.But the three old people can always go to the restaurant for dinner. Anyway, they came to this restaurant today. Unless Hua Zhenxing is a fool, there is no reason not to make good use of this opportunity.

Why did Charles come?Because he was very curious, there are still people in this world who have mastered the same magical power as Hua Zhenxing, and who make Hua Zhenxing fearful.

Shire is also very interested in Hua Zhenxing's ability, and hopes that he can learn it, which is human nature.

Hua Zhenxing also taught Charles the Nourishing Technique. Unfortunately, although Charles is very smart, his progress in cultivating the Nourishing Technique has not been very good. He has not yet passed the first-level assessment, maybe because he is too busy.

Hua Zhenxing is also very clear that not everyone can practice Yangyuanshu. Besides, Shire has been exposed to Yangyuanshu for less than half a year, and he doesn’t have much time to practice it on weekdays. It is normal for him not to get started. There is no need to be disappointed.

In fact, Hua Zhenxing is also sure that Shire can master the Nourishing Technique, after all, he taught it himself, if it doesn't work, he will use the elixir to top it, control possible deviations at critical moments, and protect him personally.

But in that case, it would be difficult for Shire to break through the third level. As for whether he can get the fourth level certificate, it depends on good luck. After all, he has to rely on Shire to practice.

Charles has heard of the power of the gun god since he was a child, and now he has seen Locke's methods, so there is nothing unacceptable to all kinds of incredible things.But Hua Zhenxing wanted to explain to him what was going on as a monk, but it was not easy.

In Shire's cognition, all kinds of things with chaotic power and strange gods are simply a hodgepodge. There are wizards or wizards in various indigenous tribes, and there are legends of various gods and ghosts in Jili Kingdom.

After really seeing all kinds of supernatural powers, Charles once firmly believed that it was a kind of superpower, which was caused by taking some wrong medicine or being infected by something, or it was some kind of special inheritance, which is typically caused by Influenced by Hollywood movies.

Hua Zhenxing once took great pains to explain to him that he is not a descendant of aliens, nor has he awakened any special bloodlines, nor has he taken wrong medicine, been polluted, or participated in some uncontrollable scientific experiment. It is a very normal result of cultivation.

The three brothers in Sanhu Town are also monks like him, but their realm may be higher.

If Shire had already achieved some results in cultivating the primordial technique, it might be easy to understand, but he hasn't achieved any results, so he still doesn't understand it very well.

So Shire's doubts turned into why you can practice but I can't, did you hide something; does this count as a genetic mutation, but I am still normal... and so on.

Hua Zhenxing had to change another way, starting from the origin of human civilization.The earliest human beings were the ancient upright naked apes. The evolution from generation to generation, along with the accumulation and inheritance of a little bit of knowledge and skills, finally led to modern civilization.The various means mastered by modern people are inconceivable supernatural powers for primitive humans.

This is the progress of intergenerational inheritance, but for individuals, there is also a self-breakthrough in the physical and mental realm, which is equivalent to a process of evolution for a person.It is also established on the basis of the inheritance system, but it is completed on each individual.

Hua Zhenxing thought he had explained it very cleverly, but Shire still didn't understand, so forget it, if it was another person, Hua Zhenxing wouldn't bother to waste such words.Moreover, Hua Zhenxing knows that he can't explain clearly, some things can only be understood through experience, and it is impossible to understand after listening to other people's explanations.

At this time, Xiao Guang and the other three brothers had not yet arrived, Hua Zhenxing said with a serious expression: "The most important condition for the success of the new alliance in Feisuo Port is to have the straw sandal gang. Uncle Mo's straw sandal gang has been established for more than ten years, which is equivalent to cultivating tens of thousands of backbones.

But without this foundation in Banda City, many things will be difficult, at least it is difficult to replicate the model of Port Fiso.There are almost no cultural traditions here, and many people's values ​​are distorted..."

Chapter 229 The Great Flood

Liberating Banda City is a very beautiful ideal.The new alliance has eliminated the guard front and the gangs, but the next step must be to establish order, rely on the masses and mobilize the masses.

But there is a big question here, what kind of masses are most of the masses?

Don't take it for granted that they have noble sentiments and noble qualities. According to what Hua Zhenxing has seen with his own eyes, most of the aborigines here have nothing to do with these two!

Talking about the world outlook and outlook on life seems a bit far-fetched, even a bit extravagant. The most basic values ​​​​of many people are desperate.

The meaning of value judgment is that even if a person makes a wrong choice, he should know where he is wrong. As for the reason, it may be because he has no choice but to resist the temptation.

The weaknesses of human nature are often similar.The brilliance of civilization is to teach people to think and summarize, to know what consequences each behavior will lead to, and to know what their current situation is related to their past behaviors. This is the ideological enlightenment in human history.

For many reasons, it is difficult for each individual to sum up spontaneously, and it requires the accumulation of cultural inheritance.

Many people here have never felt that there is anything wrong with asking strangers for money since they were young. If they don't have it, they steal it, and if they can't steal it, they grab it.Many people don't think there's anything wrong with it, and aren't ashamed of it, or even proud of it.

That's right, if you want, steal, or rob according to your ability, as long as you can get your hands on it, it's a big deal.

When dealing with local people, I often feel that they have no concept of time. For example, if we meet at nine o'clock in the morning, it may be good to arrive at twelve o'clock.It is said that it is tomorrow, and it may not be remembered until next week or simply forgotten.

The so-called no concept of time is just an appearance. They don't know what "faith" is and the value of keeping promises.For the negotiated business, either the service will be temporarily reduced, or the price will be raised suddenly, and the negotiated job will be paid and then slip away, and then no one can be found.

I learned to be full of lies since I was a child, and every promise is almost unbelievable. No matter what I promised in advance, I just don’t do it anyway, as long as I cheat the benefits, and I don’t even think about the consequences that will bring to myself.

Sophistry will only shirk responsibility and never admit mistakes. In their values, as long as they do not admit their mistakes, they have not made mistakes, as long as they can evade, they are not responsible, and as long as they can escape punishment, they can commit crimes.

All things only look at the effect regardless of the cause, and never know or think about where the effect comes from.

Could it be that the world really collapsed like this?If everyone around you is a liar, you will not trust others.

Old man Yang's grocery store never pays on credit, because people who have no credit will really pay back the money, and never gives free food that is about to expire to those who are hungry, because as long as they do that, a large number of people will come to the door Ask for free.If you can't ask for it, maybe the shop will be ransacked.

Old man Yang is not afraid of this, but he never caused such troubles.

From the Port of Fiso to Jili, what we see is not necessarily the collapse of civilization, but the fact that civilization has never been truly established.From the primitive tribal society directly to the industrial colony, the colonists suppressed them at the bottom of the industrial civilization in the most brutal way, plundered all kinds of resources, and even the human population itself was used for trafficking.

The order established by the colonists does not include the enlightenment of civilization. At most, it only instills a certain belief forcibly, telling people what rules will be implemented, but it does not make people think about why?

So everyone can only complete self-enlightenment, as powerless as the good guys in the gang.

It is conceivable that when Hua Zhenxing saw such a real world since he was a child, how desperate he felt in his heart?That's why he had such a dream, to recreate the country of Huanxiang in the deserted wilderness.

What kind of desperation is it that makes a child even make a vow to "destroy the world", but he doesn't realize that deep down in his heart, he actually has the urge to destroy the world, if he doesn't see hope in the end.

Hua Zhenxing does not believe in the god of Cambistine, nor does he believe in the god of the Heavenly Kingdom sect to which Cambistine belongs.But he had also read Cambistine's Covenant, the story of the great flood in the covenant, which destroyed the world and washed away all sin.

Hua Zhenxing hates the world around him, not the flowers and plants, but the people in this world.If the world has reached the point where you hate it, you must hate most people.

Fortunately, several old people have been guiding him, telling him that the premise of disliking people is to dislike what they do, and what should really be disliked is the reason why they do those things.The real salvation is to change those causes, which requires another torrent.

Therefore, Hua Zhenxing's vow is a world that takes root and sprouts again.

He has done things to save people. For example, he saved Dr. Luo, which may change his fate. For example, Dr. Luo also wanted to take him out of here.But Hua Zhenxing's mentality is complicated, and his wish is not to save a specific person.

Of course Hua Zhenxing wanted to save Feisuo Port where he was located, but is there any possibility of those people being saved?He even believes that this generation is probably hopeless, and it will take at least one generation to truly change.

Hua Zhenxing is not only a pure idealist, but also an active practitioner, an optimistic activist, and a pessimistic observer.So when talking about Banda City today, Hua Zhenxing talked about his worries, and at the same time looked at Shire with tortured eyes.

Charles patted Hua Zhenxing on the shoulder and said: "I know what you said is the truth. Most of those people are not good people, and neither was I. So there are some things that I can only do, and I absolutely must It did. Otherwise why should you not be the president of the new league and not me?

Liberating Banda City is not more difficult than liberating Fiso, I think it is easier than Fiso!It is impossible for us to make small troubles, but to make radical changes.

Let everyone realize that the world is different, they are different, they can have a new life, and they can see hope and opportunity.I don't think a generation is needed, give me three months and I'll let you see another Banda City.

Hua, if you have time, I suggest you go to the military camp of the new alliance to experience it, and eat and live with them as an ordinary soldier.You get the feeling that their lives started when they joined the new league..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Three months? You haven't drunk yet! What are the specific measures? To protect people's livelihood, restore order, change the face of society, and change people's consciousness, how do you plan to implement it?"

Shire: "The new alliance's successful experience in Port Fiso can be used for reference here. Starting from the grassroots, first implement the community management and resident registration system. Then organize all the people and let them discover their own value.

Cleaning up sanitation, repairing toilets, cleaning up cluttered buildings, redesigning and renovating neighborhoods, and providing everyone with an unprecedented security environment are the most basic things. Whoever causes damage at this time will be resolutely suppressed.

The mass gatherings we hold should not only criticize the gang leaders, but also criticize those gangsters who disrupt the new order, so that everyone knows what not to do and why it cannot be done.

The assets of those gang forces will be fined and confiscated, and the new alliance will be responsible for the management.First of all, ensure the supply of materials and organize everyone. There is no place to steal, no place to rob, and no place to extort.

Even if there is nothing to do, we must create meaningful things for them to do, and the reward is the shopping coupons from the supply and marketing cooperatives, as well as the encouragement and respect of the new society..."

Hua Zhenxing: "What should they do?"

Shire: "Illiterate and illiterate people may not be unable to master skills. There are too many things that can be done. Every community must establish learning classes and training classes, and give them tools...

For example, house repairs, plumbers may require professional training, but ordinary bricklayers and mechanics, as long as they are taught by a master, they can basically master the simplest jobs after half a month of hard work.

There is a lot of work that can be done in Banda City, such as leveling the farm land, water conservancy and irrigation systems, and spring plowing is about to begin, and ensuring food production is also one of the top priorities. "

Hua Zhenxing: "How much resources can you invest?"

Charles mused, "Manpower is available at the moment, as for material resources. The supply of grain, oil and non-staple food in Feisuo Port this year is sufficient. I also need to sort out the inventory of various materials in Banda City, which will be allocated by the supply and marketing cooperative. But In other aspects, we still lack a lot of construction materials and various tools..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Is [-] million rice gold enough?"

Charles was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Huazhenhang: "I paid 30 billion meters of gold to buy all the deserts in the territory of Feisuo Port and north of the agricultural reclamation area, which is about [-] square kilometers. I paid it in ten years, and [-] million a year. This is not for you The money is the financial revenue of the new alliance government, is it enough for you to liberate the entire Jili country?"

Charles: "It's not just about money."

Hua Zhenxing: "I know, it's not about money at all. Just like it's impossible to explain the truth with fists, but if you don't have fists, sometimes it's not easy for people to listen to your reasoning."

Charles grabbed Hua Zhenxing's arm: "Are you serious?"

Hua Zhenxing: "When did what I said not tell the truth?"

Charles: "If that's the case, three years is enough!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Three years? There have been more than one coup d'etat in Jili Kingdom. If you want to be the president of Jili Kingdom, with the current strength of the new alliance, let Dafengshou help you plan it. There is no need to wait so long, a week enough."

Charles: "I'm not who I used to be, and I don't want to be that kind of president."

Hua Zhenxing: "It seems that you really wanted to be the president at the beginning, didn't you want to be the head of the big head gang?"

Charles: "Don't keep mentioning these things, I don't even remember! You were kidding me just now, where did you get so much money?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Anyway, I have my own solution, but I have one thing to discuss with you in advance..."

Hua Zhenxing said something to Shire, Shire stared at Hua Zhenxing with wide eyes for a long time, then patted him hard again and said: "You still have this idea! Don't worry, I will never reveal it in advance , and will definitely cooperate with you when the time comes.

But I have a question, how did you come up with it? It’s fine if you think about it for someone else, but you really want to do it? "

Hua Zhenxing asked back: "A person like me, living in such a place, do you think I am suitable to be the president of Jili Kingdom?"

Charles smiled: "You are not suitable, I should do this kind of thing, it is inconvenient for you."

Hua Zhenxing: "At the beginning, your ideal was to be the head of the Big Tou Gang, so what do you think the ideal of a person like me should be? If there is no new alliance today, how would you guess?"

Charles blinked his eyes for a long time, and said while thinking: "You really surprised me, if I don't know your plan, and there is no new alliance today, let me think about it.
