Chapter 688

Chapter 688 first arrival territory, money city!

The vast waste soil, after eight years of reform, the overall terrain has changed under the influence of disaster.

Those who once lived in the deep sea, marine aliens, have basically been forced by the increase in disaster intensity to move to the new continent.

Unfortunately, the area of the new continent has not increased much in these eight years.

With less land and more people, there are disputes everywhere on the mainland.

Although Tianyuan territory is not belligerent, it is often attacked by foreign stragglers because the northern part of the territory is very close to the coastline.

Therefore, according to the location distribution, the division of labor of the three major cities is also very clear.

Hope city, which focuses on territorial economy, is located in the center of the whole territory and has the safest geographical conditions to drive the development of territorial economy.

Tianyuan City, which focuses on the development of military cutting, is located on the west side of the territory close to the dwarves of the world. There are a large number of military research institutes and large-scale war facilities to prevent the sneak attack of dwarves.

Merman City, which focuses on special economy, is located in the northern part of the territory with the most frequent small-scale wars, and is mainly responsible for guarding the back of the territory.

Driven by these three cities, there are four major super monopoly companies as enemies, plus hundreds of small and medium-sized development companies.

Tianyuan territory is extremely balanced and strong in all aspects. Even if the number of people is much less than that of other super territories, it can firmly occupy a vast land.

At the same time, some small human territories close to the surrounding areas, although apparently independent, have already become affiliated cities of the territory secretly.

After a period of time, these territories will send caravans with all kinds of commodities to hope city for trading.

Other remote territories will also come to hope city, eager to get the opportunity of territorial development.

Around this group of "real" migrant population, the hope city expanded and expanded, and gradually formed three regions outside the real core city circle.

One is "breaking the army", which is responsible for the garrison troops.

The first is "bright moon", which is responsible for trading, temporary residence, catering, etc. it is a trading place specially opened for migrant population.

One is "mulberry field", which assists farming. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile fields and experimental fields for various novel varieties.

For example, the location of the station at present is beneficial to Mingyue Town, the outermost part of hope city.

At this time, although it was just after noon, the sun was in the sky, bringing a rolling heat wave.

But there are many people outside the great hope station, who go to other territories, who come to pick up relatives, who flow around to sell small commodities, and who carry passengers into the city.

Coming out of the back door guided by the kingship, he led Huang Xiaojuan and Oreo, and was mixed in the dense crowd. Until he squeezed out to the exit to verify his identity, Su Mo took off the simple mask on his face and let go.

As soon as he arrived in hope city, he was already a little uncomfortable.

Compared with the hope village eight years ago, the development of hope city today is so huge that he can't recognize the slightest connection between here and before.

Whether it is Guoshu mountain or Tieshi mountain, these landmarks have all disappeared.

Now, out of the sight of the station, there are planned asphalt roads and six or seven storey tall buildings everywhere, giving people a feeling of returning to the civilized era.

What is more familiar is

"Hey, buddy, are you new?"

"Take a taxi? Take a taxi?"

"Moto, moto ~ ~"

"Going to Mingyue Town or Sangtian Town, I have a three seat car here that just sits down. You only need one trading point to take you there to ensure a full ride experience."

“.”

As soon as they saw the crowd pouring out of the exit gate, those "drivers" who had been waiting at the door rushed forward like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers.

Among them, although Su Mo's face is ordinary, his walking posture and temperament are extraordinary.

Most of the drivers who could drive cars gathered around and began to solicit customers with various kinds of tricks.

Finding one of them who was a little more pleasing to the eye, Su Mo raised his eyebrows and arched his hands.

Seeing this, the other party immediately led the way with joy in his heart. After a while, the two of them walked around the station and came to a slightly shabby tricycle in the parking lot.

"Hey, although my car is old, it has many functions!"

With that, the dark man walked over first and inserted the key.

As he pressed the button in front of the kinetic car, he saw that the rear seats began to change slowly.

First, four poles were raised, and then another thing similar to a canopy was supported on both sides. When the man pulled it, he just wrapped the open-air carriage and blocked the outside sun.

"Ha, it's easy to use!"

After touching the supporting rod and finding that it was not an ordinary iron rod, but a material similar to alloy, Su Mo couldn't help taking a high look.

To judge the development of a territory, one is to look at the ceiling of cutting-edge technology, and the other is to look at the civilian level of ordinary technology.

It is enough to see how fast Tianyuan territory is developing now that such passenger drivers outside the station can also use alloy.

"Dude, go to Mingyue Town or Sangtian town. If Mingyue is a dog, you two are 0.3 trading points according to the pricing standard."

"It's a little farther to Sangtian. It takes 0.5 trading points."

Greeting two people and a dog to sit behind the carriage, the dark man took out a sign printed with "Hope City public passenger price list" and handed it over.

"It's your first time here. Don't worry. Now everything is strictly regulated by the territory. For example, the business of black car drivers on our earth can't be done long ago!"

"If I charge you an extra point, you turn around and complain about me to the transportation department. I'll have to be caught doing hard work tomorrow. Where does it pay!"

Seeing that Su Mo was focusing on the explanation behind the price list, the dark man was not in a hurry. He took out the kettle in the back seat and drank it while explaining patiently.

"OK, please go to Mingyue Town."

The distance between the two places is 40 kilometers. Coupled with the rolling heat wave, the scalp of people exposed to the sun is numb. The charge of 0.3 points is not high.

Seeing that the dark man was young, it was estimated that he was twenty-five, but his attitude was so gentle and modest.

Su Mo returned the sign, and his impression of this strange hope city was a little better.

"OK!"

Not afraid of Su Mo running, after hearing the destination, the dark man turned his hair and moved his car, and began to drive on the asphalt road towards Mingyue Town.

Along the way, Su Mo didn't pretend to see some novel things along the line, and kept asking questions.

Before long, the two became familiar.

The real name of the dark man is Yang Wu, who joined the territory after two years of waste land.

At that time, he was only seventeen years old, young and without any skills, so he failed to catch up with the first wave of dividends of the territory.

This led to mixing for five or six years. In addition to having the identity of a territory, he also worked as this ordinary and extreme driver.

"I'm satisfied. With this identity, I've exceeded 99% of ordinary people in waste land. It's useless to think of anything else!"

"Besides, now I solicit customers every day, eat and drink, and I can save some money. Where can I have such a comfortable job in the waste land!"

Blowing the oncoming hot wind, Yang Wu shouted happily.

Just like the aborigines who lived in the imperial capital in their previous lives.

Although they do not have a prominent family background, nor do they have high paying jobs that everyone envies.

But with only one identity and a dilapidated house, they are enough to surpass the efforts of ordinary people for ten or hundred years.

"Brother Su, you just came to the territory. I'm afraid you were a big man before, otherwise you can't afford to buy the identity of our Tianyuan territory."

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person, just a little lucky and made a fortune."

Looking at Yang Wu, he turned his head and asked curiously. Su Mo shook his head angrily and turned his eyes to the rolling farmland beside the asphalt road.

With the magical plants left before he left, plus the subsequent harvest from the tree man territory.

The fields in Tianyuan territory are growing very well, completely self-sufficient and have a certain surplus.

In addition, the territory is estimated to have enough surplus food to survive even in the event of disaster after importing food from outside.

"Hey, are these people selling watermelons?"

In hot weather.

Looking forward along the road, Su Mo couldn't help but be amazed to find a watermelon stall on the roadside, with many people standing in front of the door.

This road is the only road from the station to Mingyue Town, and there must be many tourists passing by on the way.

In hot weather, even if this watermelon sells a little more expensive, it must not lack sales.

Sure enough.

After hearing the word watermelon, Yang Wu didn't speak, sitting on the other side, Huang Xiaojuan and Oreo sticking out their tongues on the ground.

Each dog raised his head and his eyes were full of desire.

"OK, stop the car later and I'll buy one."

Directing Yang Wu to pull over, Su Mo jumped out of the car and walked all the way to the watermelon stall.

"A kilo of watermelon sells for a dime, or 0.05 at the trading point."

"So, a 15 Jin watermelon with 0.75 trading points is a little expensive!"

For ordinary people in green fruit territory, earning one point a month will kill them.

In Tianyuan territory, although the income has increased, watermelon is also a high-priced consumer goods. Most people are afraid to buy one for a month or so except for the Spring Festival.

However, for Su Mo, he can't take these points away, so he doesn't care about spending them at all.

"Sixteen Jin eight Liang, 0.84 trading point, 0.8 trading point, thank you for your patronage!"

Compared with the "yuan currency" in the territory, the purchasing power of the trading point is stronger and the possibility of depreciation is lower.

So after seeing that Su Mo was willing to pay at the trading point, the shopkeeper happily wiped it off directly and helped cut it into teeth by the way.

"Huo, brother Su is really willing!"

Watching Su Mo carrying a large bag of watermelon back, Yang Wu licked his dry lips, his eyes full of envy and complexity.

Recall that the last time he ate watermelon was last year.

At that time, when the watermelon was almost out of the market, Yang wucai was willing to buy half of it to satisfy his hunger.

In the future, the high price has always been the difficulty in front of him. Many times, even the money in his pocket can completely afford the whole.

He will never be as willing as sumo is now.

However, these complex emotions disappeared instantly when Su Mo came back and pushed San Ya in front of him.

Looking at the ice dregs whose outer skin is still emitting a trace of white gas, and the red and shiny melon pulp inside.

Just one bite into the stomach, it will let people directly eliminate the heat, and fly up cool.

Three people and a dog, 16 Jin watermelon should not have been eaten.

But in the end, in Yang Wu's Distressed eyes, Oreo still ate the remaining watermelon that was in its early teens.

"Brother Su, you have to save some money. Money is used everywhere in our territory."

Starting the car again, Yang Wu's attitude was a little better than before, and he began to nag about the expenses in the territory.

"You are a newcomer. Even if you have your own job, you will certainly not be able to afford to buy houses in the short term. We hope that those trading points in the city are prone to hundreds of thousands of transactions and need various restrictions, right?"

"So, you see, renting a house costs a lot."

"Let's not mention the cheapest houses in the city that cost 500 yuan a month. In Mingyue Town alone, a single room costs 80 trading points a month, and you earn 960 points a year!"

"After renting a room, you have to pay for your meals, right? You two have a dog, and the minimum standard of food a day also needs about 0.6 trading points. This year, it's in the early 200's."

With the hot wind blowing, Yang Wu was still nagging at first, but later, he seemed to complain and roast.

"It's OK to rent a house and eat. These expenses can be calculated, but other miscellaneous expenses are even more terrifying."

"We hope that although residents in the city have no living tax, they have a fixed identity maintenance fee. According to your identity price, you also have to pay a tax of 0.8% of the identity price every month."

"Although there is no depreciation fee for the house, the water and electricity fees, maintenance fees and foundation taxes are also a lot a month."

"When you travel in other places, you can't walk on your feet. You have to pay for a taxi, charge your car, and pay highway taxes."

“.”

After talking about a dozen places that need to be charged, Yang Wu stopped when he heard that Huang Xiaojuan was getting bigger:

"In addition to these, the most important thing is that 25% of your monthly salary in the territory will be included in the territory's natural disaster prevention funds and 25% in the residents' medical security."

"Only half of the real ones!"

After roast out the existing system of the territory in one breath, looking at Su Mo's slightly changed face, Yang Wu breathed an atmosphere, and his mood was much more relaxed.

In the eyes of outsiders, they who live in super territory are very comfortable. They have big rooms, don't worry about food and clothing, and their safety is very guaranteed. They live a human life.

But only they themselves know what a miserable end it will be if there is no money in this territory that only looks at "money".

"We old residents are fine. After the clearing of the trading point, we can maintain our identity for one year to raise funds."

"But if the trading point of you, a newcomer, returns to zero for more than three days, you will be directly confiscated and expelled from the territory."

"And you have to be careful of some outsiders who have only temporary identities. Once they set up a scam, the consequences are unpredictable."

As a large-scale town appeared in the field of vision, Yang Wu's chatter gradually stopped.

"Mingyue Town is ahead. It's not early. Brother Su still has to make plans early if he wants to rent a house."

"Good"

The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the village, two people and a dog got off, and Su Mo raised his hand to pay the fare.

"Copy that. Come to me whenever you need a useful car."

Handing over a handwritten business card, Yang Wu showed a bright smile, jumped into the car and went away in the distance.

Obviously, even if he has no ambition, the rules of the city force him not to lie flat and must be running all the time to maintain various expenses.

"Brother Zong, shall we rent a house first“

Informed of the cruelty in the territory by Yang Wu, Huang Xiaojuan looked around and seemed a little timid.

There is obviously a big gap between here and the beautiful life she imagined before.

Cili town and Mingyue Town are both towns.

But in comparison, the tallest buildings in Cili town are only four floors, most of which are bungalows, while the lowest buildings in Mingyue Town have three floors!

At the same time, even standing at the gate of the town, the noise and excitement inside can vaguely spread to the outside, enough to see the prosperity here.

"Don't worry, let's go first."

Glancing at the bright moon sign hanging high on the gate of the town and the car to the urban area at the gate of the town, Su Mo breathed slowly and deeply, suppressing his inner impulse.

According to what Yang Wu said before, if you live in the urban area, the miscellaneous expenses in a month add up to at least more than 1000 points.

Moreover, because renting houses accounts for the majority, identity taxes and meals account for the minority.

As a result, many outsiders who bought identities rented their houses outside Mingyue Town and Sangtian town in order to save money. They took cars back and forth every morning to work in urban areas.

"I want to save money. It seems that I have to rent my house here first."

"Compared with the previous two relic missions, this time is really hell mode!"

It's like a poor boy who came to the imperial capital from a remote mountain village with a "thousand yuan" in his pocket.

Su Mo thought he could hold on for a while, but he didn't think it would be difficult to hold on for a month.

And at the thought of having a car and a house in the center of the city with such an identity, I even have to take control of the whole city within a year.

Su Mo couldn't help but be happy and strode to the town.
