Douluo live long see

It is impossible for Zheng Yan not to notice the rumors in the city, but he has no way to stop them. The cultural level of the people in this era is insufficient.As a result, it was difficult for him to select enough grassroots officials with management capabilities, which made his ability to control the city insufficient.

As for things like public opinion, once they cannot be fully controlled in the first place, the more they are controlled, the faster they will spread.

Zheng Yan is in great pain. He hates industry, capital, and a society where money can determine everything. But now he has to work hard to learn these things. Before the situation in the city is completely out of control, he must learn how to run a factory and how to control himself. His subjects became his workers.

But this is very difficult for him. He has military power and Contra combat power, which is not top-notch in this era, but most of the time it is enough to protect his property from infringement, but he has no technology and wants to become a factory owner. At least they must have a certain advantage in technology, otherwise, these workers of their own do not have any professional skills. Without technology, the knowledge level of the workers is good, and they will definitely lose money and accompany them to death.

Not only that, Zheng Yan still lacks a start-up capital. With his current interpersonal relationship, everyone is looking forward to his downfall, and no one is willing to lend him money. The most critical problem is the lack of start-up capital.

With these people, if there is no start-up capital, it will be a huge expense to feed them.Any industry will lose money in the early stage of operation, and it will not start to make profits until products are produced.

If he wants to solve the predicament in front of him, the preparations he needs are far from being completed in a short while, and he is only now beginning to regret it, no, try to lead people out earlier.

Earlier, he just naively thought that as long as the operation of the city was maintained, the people in the city could live and work in peace and contentment as they did hundreds of years ago.

……

As time went by, dissatisfaction began to gradually brew in the city, and the supplies in the city became more and more scarce. Although the residents were still working in the handicraft workshops, they couldn't help complaining.

Ketian City has no minerals, no agricultural products, and inconvenient transportation. The only source of income is to collect unique animals and plants in the desert to make medicines.

And this process is very hard. Whether it is the people who go out of the city to collect raw materials, or the workers who dry and grind the powder, they all have to work hard.

Ji Zhen, who trekked on the Gobi Desert with a backpack on his back, is a well-known guide in the city. With him leading the team, the collection team can often get more medicines.

Because of his importance in the collection team, even at this relatively difficult time, his treatment is good. Compared with the situation where most people can't even guarantee the food supply, he can eat meat every week. It is not difficult to see that his status is high.

But he has become more and more worried recently, especially after the rumors spread in the city that it is the city lord who will not let everyone leave, this entanglement has become even more serious.

In the propaganda of the city lord, it tells everyone that only by uniting can they not be oppressed, saying that the city lord is working hard to find a way to build a factory by himself, and everyone will unite together to form a workers' union, so that they will not be bullied in the future.

Jizhen understands this. People who live in the deserted wilderness know the power of unity best, because in these wild areas, a single person cannot survive at all.

There is no difference between exile and death here. No one can conquer the sinister nature without relying on the help of others.

But Ji Zhen is still very annoying, he is not the most difficult person in life.Even now, he can rely on his own ability to live well.

But what about the future?He believes that the city owner is a good person, and he also believes that the city owner must be trying to find a way out for them, but after leaving Ketian City, will Ji Zhen still be the famous guide in the past ten miles and eight villages?What's the use of his familiarity with the terrain in the desert after leaving this city?

The city lord will eventually take them away, and if the city lord fails, they will also be forced to leave.

Ji Zhen didn't know what would happen to him if he left the city. While picking his teeth with a cactus thorn, he casually pointed out the direction of the nearest small oasis to his collection team.

Although the people in the collection team were pale and thin, they all looked at him in awe after he pointed out the direction. The oasis is not far from here.

With a distance of five or six kilometers, it took one or two hours to trek. After seeing the oasis, everyone couldn't help cheering. The people in the collection team took wooden sticks and carefully tested the water source in the oasis. Here is Most likely hiding a ferocious predator.

Kacha, a strange fish jumped out of the water and bit the stick. The tempter flicked the stick in a hurry, but didn't expect more fish to jump up and bite his hand. The people next to him were at a loss The bitten person was dragged ashore, and the bitten monster was beaten to death with a stick, but the bitten off finger of the person could not be connected.

Jizhen noticed that the index finger of the screaming person was bitten off. Although it is not like a cripple like a thumb bitten off, the efficiency of future work will be greatly reduced, perhaps because of the distribution of food. Fewer died of freezing and starvation. He was injured for the safety of the collection team, but when he died of embarrassment, the collection team would not take the initiative to give him a share of food.

The people I come into contact with on weekdays are so untrustworthy, so wouldn't the outsiders reject them even more and treat them more harshly?

Ji Zhen saw that the wounded member was bandaged and placed in the back row. He had already seen the tragic fate of this person in the future. After finding a safe way to get water, the members of the collection team collected a few unique fruits in the desert. , and handed over the most plump ones to Ji Zhen.

Ji Zhen only took one, and divided the rest. He took a bite of the sweet pulp, but a thought flashed in his mind, he couldn't become like these people, he couldn't lose the power in his hand, without leadership, he If there is no fruit to eat, he will face dangerous tasks, he may be injured, and he will face the danger of dying of embarrassment.

This is unacceptable to him, even if he leaves here, he cannot be at the bottom, but if he leaves this city, the ability he is proud of is useless.

Outside of this backcountry, no one needs to know where the water is and where the herbs are in the desert.

Unless... he can be the first person to leave the city and get the first bite of the bonus, but this is not easy. He knows that this is betraying the city lord, but he has no choice, or in other words, only he has the choice...

Driven by profit, guilt was quickly buried deep in his heart. He knew that he was sorry for the city lord by doing so, but at least he did not harm him. Taking some people away could also relieve part of the pressure on the city. He comforted himself like this.

He is the best guide in Ketian City, only he can lead people across the desert safely, so only he has the right to choose.

But he knew very well that what the city lord said was right. Only those who are united have strength. It is difficult for him to go out alone. Even if he goes out, how can he guarantee his own safety in the face of an unfamiliar environment?

Those who wish to dismantle Ketian City probably need an example, an example of someone who left the city but lived a good life.

But in the unfamiliar outside world, Jizhen is not sure that he can really get such good treatment. Think about it in another way, if he is a nobleman, what would he do in the face of the residents who escaped from Ketian City?Will you really spend a lot of money to raise him and find him a good job?

Probably not?If it is he who arranges, it must be coercion, put a knife on his neck, ask him to write a letter, or force him to take out a token, as long as it can prove that he is doing well, there is no need to give it to him. How well he was treated.

This was not what he wanted. To really get what Lin Yantao promised, he needed not only the courage to go out recklessly, but also his brains.As long as more than one person escapes together, everything will be different.

Among those who escaped, some people can hide in the dark, so that once someone is treated harshly and does not get the treatment they deserve, the person in the dark can go back and report the letter. With this layer of insurance, the nobleman will consider it. Give them a little money and give them some real sweetness.

And only when more people escape together, can they transfer their property when they can enjoy the dividends, and wait until they have the capital to start some small businesses, and then run away collectively to escape liquidation.

Every step has a considerable risk of failure, but compared to falling to the bottom and losing his privileges and guarantees of survival, he thinks it is worth the risk.

……

Bang!

The naughty boy threw the stone into a mansion where the city lord entertained guests, then turned around and ran away.

The corners of Lin Yantao's mouth curled up when he looked at the stones that fell on his bedside table and the content written on them in crooked fonts. The strongest fortress is often broken from the inside.

He didn't dare to send people to Tiancheng to recruit people with great fanfare, because his mother would not know who would be beaten by a powerful Contra.

But now, the problem is gone, there is a guide who can take people across the desert, and then it is enough to arrange for someone to pick them up.

……

In the dark alley, the man with the hood lowered was leaning against the wall, without turning his head, he just said calmly, "Here you are? Are things ready?"

"My...my lord, the list has been drawn up, so this is..."

brush!

Ji Zhen didn't see clearly how the list in his hand got into the other party's hands.

"Why are the old and the weak appearing above? There are no old people, disabled people, or children. Women must be healthy and cannot be pregnant. Do you understand?" A sneer appeared at the corner of the mouth under the hood.

"You have become a whore, do you still have to build a memorial archway? I guess why you brought these old and weak, do you want to relieve a little pressure on your city lord!

It seems that you still have a conscience, but ah, people with a conscience generally don't live long! "The hooded man talked about the list in his hand: "Do as I say, otherwise..."

Otherwise, this list will appear on Zheng Yan's desktop tomorrow. This is the list, and it is also a vote. As a small person, even if he doesn't want to, Ji Zhen can only hand over his own initiative.

"Small... the villain understands, the villain will do it now!"

In the next week, Jizhen's collection team began to expand, and the expanded staff was gradually replaced by strong men. This is understandable, collection is dangerous, and stronger people are needed to participate.

But no one noticed that these are the loudest ones complaining about the city lord. These young and strong people think that they will have a better life after leaving the city. Hard work always finds a way out.

So they split, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they understood it. Finally, one day after a week, Ji Zhen led them to a remote and remote oasis. Jizhen ordered everyone to rest in the oasis.

"Lu En, Li Er, Zhao Mingyi, follow me." The three of them seemed to have expected it, while some more perceptive people noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Ji Zhen patted the shoulders of the three of them and said: "I know, you three are the most capable in the team, and you are also the ones who most want to go out and make a fortune. Now I will give you a chance, follow me! I will take you Go across this desert to earn a living in the big city. But you have to listen to me! Do you understand?"

Li Er turned his head, looked at the footprints buried in the sand, and seemed to understand something, then looked at the other two, both of them had ambitions in their eyes.

"Okay! We're done!"

The three strongest men in the team took up their weapons, and their shining spears reflected the cold light. They guarded Ji Zhen and walked towards the collection team with a total of 18 people. In terms of force, they had the advantage with the sharpest weapons.

"It was very windy just now!" Sitting on the root of a tree of unknown age, Ji Zhen said, "With such a strong wind, we may not be able to tell the way back."

"With you here, how could it be impossible to find the way back?" There are always some people who don't know the atmosphere, but Ji Zhen is very satisfied with his succession.

"Yeah! But without me? I've been there to die, so everyone is stuck here!"

The voice fell, the voices were noisy, and there was such panic in the words.

Boom boom boom!The spear hit the ground hard, and Li Er shouted at the top of his voice, "Silence!"

The uniform movements of the three of them stunned everyone, while Ji Zhen patted his buttocks and stood up.

"Follow me! Go to the city across the desert, or stay and find a way to return. We are the strongest people in the city. I think you should know how to choose."

As soon as Ji Zhen said this, someone stepped forward excitedly: "You! You traitor! The city lord treats you so well and gives you food and drink. Has he fed the dog?"

puff!

Ji Zhen waved his hand: "Drag on."

The man who stepped forward to argue widened his eyes, looking at the spear sticking out of his stomach, his eyes were full of fear.

"The legs grow on your body, we can walk if we want, this guy obviously doesn't understand this, so there is no need for these legs!

Li Er! "

"exist!"

"Go and saw off his legs!"

"Yes!"

Ji Zhen glanced at the remaining 17 people, none of them dared to meet his gaze.
