Chapter 779

City of Hope, Municipal Building.

A lonely crescent moon hung in the corner of the building, and the night was darker and darker.

The buildings around the building have all turned off the lights and fell into a long and peaceful darkness.

Night breeze.

Chen Shenduan sat in the office on the third floor, instructing one by one to put the documents in his hands, his brows furrowed.

In the past two weeks, the surrounding large territories that like to jump feet suddenly died down and became good babies, which reassured him a lot.

But on the other hand, the pressure that was farther away from Tianyuan's territory suddenly came over.

Compared with the Tianyuan Think Tank composed of hundreds of people before, the expected scene is not much different.

With the three-year shelter period of the Dragon Banner Territory coming to an end, nearly 30 major territories have jointly requested the Tianyuan Territory to open up the energy stone technology and share this advanced technology that is enough to change the human process.

Among them, many territories are still able to calmly negotiate and negotiate due to previous trade relations, and even propose the technology of exchange of interests.

But there are also a lot of territorial incarnations of pressure boys, who have issued threats and ultimatum conditions. There is a lot of meaning that Tianyuan Territory will impose sanctions immediately as long as the technology is not opened.

Of course, given the industrial conditions that Tianyuan Territory has already spread, it is natural to not be afraid of the threat of these territories.

But being the target of public criticism and being targeted by so many people is by no means a fact Chen Shen wants to see.

Even in the end, a fight cannot be avoided.

How to hit the first punch, in what way, to what extent to stop it, and what is the reward and reason for the punch.

Everything, he had to think about it in the quiet night.

"Little fish, little fish, make me another cup of strong tea"

Touching to the side and realizing that the tea in the cup had bottomed out, Chen Shen wearily raised his head and called out twice.

It's just that after the voice fell, there was no sound in the secretary room outside.

"Asleep? Or go to the toilet?"

Turning his head and looking at the time on the wall clock, he realized that it was two o'clock in the middle of the night. Chen Shen shook his head slightly and simply stood up with the cup.

When I came to the living area behind the office screen, I picked up the kettle and poured some into the cup, and then I picked up some loose tea leaves and threw it into the cup.

Chen Shen took the warm cup and walked slowly to the half-open window.

The night wind blew in, mixed with a little refreshing coolness, and the temperature and hygrometer hanging by the window also accurately displayed the current room temperature.

21.9 degrees Celsius, 55.8% humidity.

A very standard autumn night temperature on a wasteland.

"The scarlet storm is coming soon. I really can't imagine how much it will cost for 10% humidity, no rain for 60 days, and 50 degrees temperature"

Chen Shen muttered, his mind drifting out with the wind.

In the entire Tianyuan territory, there is only one location in Baoyu County close to the Changlong Xianjiang River, except for the fish-man city, which is near the coastline.

Almost all other cities, counties, towns and villages are inland and do not have sufficient reserves of freshwater resources.

Of course, it is not a problem to rely on the Changlong Xianjiang to transport it, but the transportation cost may become an astronomical figure.

In addition to the hot weather, the construction of the territory, the sowing of seeds for the autumn harvest, and the implementation of various plans.

House seemingly endless rain.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen couldn't help but put his head against the cold window, using the coldness to relieve the sudden headache.

This is his old problem. As long as every disaster is about to come, the headache will always come from time to time, and it will not relieve him even if he sleeps.

Deng. Deng. Deng. Deng..

Just when Chen Shen had a headache.

Suddenly, there was a sound of shoe soles rubbing against the ground outside the office.

A slender and stylish woman in a black and blue uniform walked in from the door.

"Mayor, the first batch of immigrants from Baoyu County has arrived. This is the latest news from Director Wang and Minister Hu. I'll let you know?"

"Mayor, do you have a headache again?"

The woman who came in was actually Chen Shen's only secretary, Jiang Xiaoyu.

Seeing Chen Shen leaning against the window in pain, she quickly accelerated her pace, came over and took the cup: "If you have a headache, stop drinking tea, I'll make you some turtle and white pigeon soup, it's time to make up for it in summer. Make up for it, otherwise it will be troublesome in winter.”

"I'm fine." Chen Shen shook his head stubbornly, and squeezed out a slight smile: "Let me see the news about Wang Quan and Hu Yuanyong."

The three characters of Baoyu County seem to possess magical power.

Just taking the envelope in Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, Chen Shen felt that the headache was relieved a lot, and it was wonderful.

Because of the fear of enemy hijacking by wireless waves, in addition to the need for encrypted communication in major times, the other things in the territory are still the oldest and safest letter mode.

Sitting back at the desk, Chen Shen carefully cleaned the lacquer on the letter, and quickly took out a few blank sheets of paper full of words.

First find the one of the king's power, and he began to read it word for word.

"The immigration work has been completed very smoothly. The publicity policy formulated by the county magistrate really has a miraculous effect. We only publicized the number of immigrants in the Linglong Territory for one day, and it can be completed five times the estimated value of 100. It has been recruited. 500 immigrants, and all of them are talents with intermediate production skills”

After reading the first paragraph of the summary, Chen Shen's face was overjoyed, and the previously unconsciously frowned brows could not help loosening.

"From the eyes of these immigrants, I saw their expectations for the future, and at the same time, I saw the influence of our Tianyuan territory. Before leaving, thousands of people suddenly appeared in the Linglong territory to see them off. They."

The description of what he saw and heard about the kingship was very clear, and he even filmed a lot of angles, attaching the scene of thousands of people seeing off on the back of the stationery.

Chen Shen turned over and hurriedly pulled out the light of the desk lamp, carefully looking at the details in the photo.

After a while, he suddenly grinned and laughed silently.

Although he couldn't see the eyes of these people in the photo, the posture of leaning there and watching gave him a vague feeling of familiarity.

That was what the survivors feared and looked forward to after the alien race was wiped out when the Tianyuan Territory went on expeditions to other places.

They are eager to be absorbed by the Tianyuan territory, and they are afraid of being sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

They long for a good life, but are afraid of being a consumable.

"It's really nostalgic, I don't know if I'll have the chance to lead my troops to charge again in this life."

Putting down Wang Quan's letter, Chen Shen subconsciously wanted to shake his neck to relieve the headache, but as soon as he turned around, he found that the headache was more than half relieved.

The comfort that radiated from the bottom of my heart made people feel comfortable like taking a hot bath.

"This Su Youzong is indeed a wonderful person. If I exchange his tough methods, I will definitely not implement such a decisive approach."

After leaning back on the office chair and reading Hu Yuanyong's description of the recruitment site, Chen Shen finally felt relieved.

However, compared to Wang Quan's letters, Hu Yuan wrote more clearly.

Turning to the next page, seeing a description that has almost nothing to do with recruiting, Chen Shen's expression changed, and he suddenly sat upright.

"What, is this Su Youzong crazy, he is going to open a waterway on Changlong Immortal General to satisfy his policy?"

"Grass, it just floated like this without a few words of praise. How could the waterway be opened up if he wanted to? He doesn't know how difficult it is, otherwise why hasn't a territory dared to do such a thing for so many years, even the three major territories? His attitude is very ambiguous, he is absolutely crazy!"

"What, he has to give up Yuan coins, and he has to give up trading points. He wants to implement a working hour system in Baoyu County, and directly convert everyone's working time into the same amount of purchasing power. As long as they go to work, they can eat enough to eat, and they can buy identity. Buy a house, buy anything of value??”

"My God, what exactly does Su Youzong want to do? Baoyu County is a Baoyu County with 60,000 people. It's not a playground for him alone. Does he want to go to heaven?"

Hu Yuanyong wrote only one page about the job recruitment description, but he wrote nearly ten pages about the various reforms that followed!

Rao is that Chen Shen was mentally prepared a long time ago, but he couldn't hold it back at this time, and his exclamations became more and more frequent.

"Am I crazy, or the wasteland crazy, or is he crazy?"

"If his current system is really implemented, unless the waterway can be opened up and the Tianyuan territory can earn a sufficient trade surplus, who will make up for the damned price difference?"

"The working-hour system, of course, allows new immigrants to buy a home quickly, and at the beginning, they only need to subsidize some materials to enter, but this system is the longer the time, the bigger the mess, is it that he wants to work hard? The result of the ticket, after finishing the bet with me and leaving the arena, just for the bet?"

"No, it's impossible! He's not that kind of person, he's definitely not that kind of person!"

Taking one step and seeing one step is mediocre, taking one step and counting three steps is ordinary, and taking one step and taking ten steps is wise.

But if you take one step and look at fifty steps, you are definitely a complete lunatic!

Only a madman would come up with a crazy policy like the working hour system, and would pin all his hopes on the waterway of the Changlong Xianjiang.

What if it doesn't work?

Is he going to play a big game with the credit of Tianyuan Territory?

Finally let the territory take the blame?

"Mayor, the county magistrate of Baoyu County has sent another top-secret letter, do you need to read it now?"

"What? Su Youzong's letter?" Chen Shen's calm expression suddenly changed: "Jiang Biao, bring it to me!"

Whenever he was emotional, he would always get carried away and call Jiang Xiaoyu Jiang Biao.

But at this time, Chen Shen couldn't care less, he stood up and almost grabbed the letter.

By the way, he also instructed: "You inform Chen Kai immediately and ask him to come over quickly. I have something important to tell him."

"Also, don't disturb me without my order, and notify the security to start martial law building"

"Okay" Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Xiaoyu quickly nodded and ran away.

After she had completely left, Chen Shen thought about it, but hesitantly went to close the door of the office and put the inner lock.

Only then did he walk to a wall in the living area of ​​the office, and gently stretched out his hand and pushed it.

Something magical happened.

The originally integrated wall actually subsided at this time, and with a bang, a secret door leading to the interior appeared.

Walk in through the door and walk a few steps left and right.

A confined space about the size of an office appeared in front of him.

The structure of the space is very simple, with only a table, a small stool, and dense wiring laid on the ground.

On that table, there is a thing that looks like a headset, and a DVD-like device is connected below it, which looks very inconsistent.

Chen Shen got up and sat down, very skillfully putting the earphones on his head, and quickly operating the box-shaped device.

Soon, after a stinging sound, he began to call softly: "Tianmin, Tianmin, please contact, please contact"

A faint voice, like a one-sided call.

But the green light flashing suddenly on the device means that this is not a one-way line, but a connected line.

About three or four minutes passed.

Suddenly, the lights in the space flickered, and a human face suddenly appeared in the void in front of Chen Shen.

It was none other than Feng Tianmin!

"In the middle of the night, what happened and asked you to use pseudo-quantum communication?"

Feng Tianmin, who was projected from the top of the room, had a tired look on his face that he had just woken up from.

"Something has happened, Su Youzong wants to reform, forget it, I'll send you a letter and you can read it for yourself."

Spread out the first letter received before on the table.

As soon as the projection on the top was swept away, in front of Feng Tianmin in the basement of the Northern Military Region, a few illusory pages immediately appeared.

"Immigration from Baoyu County? Wasn't this something that was decided before? What's all the fuss about?"

After reading Wang Quan's description, Feng Tianmin's drowsiness was also more than half awake.

He continued to look down calmly, just like Chen Shen, when he saw Hu Yuanyong's descriptions.

Feng Tianmin jumped up uncontrollably when he only saw the words "Conquering the Long Xianjiang".

"Broken, how did Su Youzong dare to reach the Changlong Xianjiang?"

"Does he, a layman, know how dangerous this river is, the undercurrents, the reefs, and the changing width of the river from time to time, even our warships in the past have the risk of sinking and running aground at any time, what will he use to conquer? Merchant ships with old-fashioned artillery?"

"No, absolutely not, isn't he doing some nonsense?"

Feng Tianmin didn't understand the working hour system later, but he could roughly find the connection between the reform and the opening of waterways.

"Although our Tianyuan Navy is strong, we can confront the three major territories head-on, but this is a direct battle, not a cargo voyage?"

"He, Su Youzong, is a layman. How many times has he been out to sea in his life? Has he really sailed a boat? How many times have he encountered dangerous situations?"

"Chen Shen, you'd better let him not think about it. Our navy is going to Changlong Xianjiang now, and we have to sail all the way back from the coastline for at least half a month, and then go through Changlong Xianjiang to Baoyu County, otherwise we have to lift the boat. In the past, how was this possible?"

"Don't even think about it unless there's a river connecting the two sides!"

The mouth repeatedly gave denials, Feng Tianminqi's hair stood up, and his face was full of helplessness to hear the child's mischief.

"I think so too, but he has sent another letter now. I haven't opened it yet. Let's look at it together?"

"Hurry up, don't grind and chirp." Seeing that Feng Tianmin would go to Baoyu County to teach him face-to-face tomorrow, Chen Shen tore the paint twice, and finally forcefully tore the envelope directly.

wow.

Four different things fell to the ground.

The first is a map with 17 large circles drawn on it, which just encloses the main counties and towns in the Tianyuan territory.

The second is a notebook, which records the selling prices of various materials, which are divided into two columns: Tianyuan Territory and Caiyuan Line.

Third, there are several sheets of white paper with writing on them. The handwriting is very neat and beautiful, as if it were printed.

The fourth, is a color photo of a glowing object that looks like a card.

"card?"

Chen Shen was no stranger to using this thing before, so he picked up the photo on the ground and looked at it first.

However, that's how it looks.

His body froze suddenly, fell straight back, and sat on the ground.

"What's the matter with you? What's on this?"

Seeing the ghostly expression on Chen Shen's face, Feng Tianmin roared furiously, and couldn't wait to apply for permission to project photos.

As the light shone, three or four seconds later.

There was also a popping sound and the sound of the line colliding in the earphones, which could be heard. It was the sound of Feng Tianmin falling to the ground.

"This is. Territory Terrain Modification Card? What? Level 5!!"

All cards are rare in the New World.

Among them, the first-level cards are the most, accounting for more than 98% of the shares.

The remaining 2% is not a high-level card, but consists of two and three levels.

Looking at the wasteland for so many years, since the beginning of the real survival version, they have never heard of anyone with cards above level four, let alone level five!

"Quick, let's see what the attributes of the fifth-level terrain card are?" Feng Tianmin's anxious urging voice interrupted Chen Shen's deep thinking.

He subconsciously reached out to the letter on the ground, and when he saw it, he glanced at the map next to him, and an unprecedented thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"No way," Chen Shen whispered, and quickly spread the letter on the table.

And it was as if the person who wrote the letter on the opposite side predicted the scene in front of him. At the beginning of the letter, the attributes of the five-level card were actually given.

"The fifth-level terrain modification card can change the terrain of the entire territory at will, turn high slopes into plains, turn hills into mountain peaks, and arbitrarily open up rivers that connect each city, and can even run the Changlong Xianjiang through the entire territory"

After reading Soma's statement word by word, Chen Shen stared blankly at Feng Tianmin who was floating in the air.

The two looked at each other.

"Tianmin, why are you crying?"

"Chen Chen, aren't you too?"

"I didn't cry"

"Then I didn't cry."

At this moment, the two middle-aged people who were over thirty to five years old suddenly had a wonderful tacit understanding.

Seeing the unstoppable tears in the other's eyes, Feng Tianmin took the lead to laugh at himself: "We underestimate him"

"That's right, since he dares to make such a policy, how could he not know the importance and not think of a good countermeasure?"

"What if the tributaries of the Changlong Xianjiang could spread all over our territory?" Chen Shen asked suddenly.

"Don't talk about the Changlong Xianjiang, it's his mother's mountain of swords and seas of fire, and I can take someone to go to him!"

"you?"

"Could it be?" Feng Tianmin was taken aback: "No way he will take someone there himself?"

"Hey, people really guessed the two of us thoroughly. If you look at the second line of his, he said he would take someone by himself."

"I rely on!?"

Six ten in the morning.

Chen Shen walked out of the dark room with a contented face, greeted the warm morning sun that had just risen, and stretched out for a long time.

Fresh air, a happy brain, and a body that is no longer stagnant.

Often the pain lasts a day and the headache is like a dream, and people can't remember the pain at all.

Close the door of the darkroom and go to the desk.

Chen Shen habitually picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to take a sip.

But as soon as he picked up the cup, his expression changed and he hurried to the door.

Sure enough, after the door of the office opened, Chen Kai, who had rushed over at an unknown time, was wandering anxiously in the corridor.

Including Jiang Xiaoyu, who was calm on weekdays, he couldn't restrain his nervousness, and his eyes were fixed on the door of the office.

"Oh, my mayor, if you don't come out again, I'm going to pick the lock and go in."

Watching Chen Shen walk out, with an embarrassed expression on his face, Chen Kai said anxiously as he walked, almost biting his tongue.

"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry to call me here?"

"Uh, it's really a big event." Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu next to him, Chen Shen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaoyu, what kind of pigeon or soup did you say last night?"

"Turtle and pigeon soup?"

"That's right, that's it." Chen Shen nodded happily: "I'll invite Chen Kai to dinner later, you go and have someone make more of this soup, we old guys really need to make up for it, we can't be like this in the future. If you stay up all night, how can you wait for the Tianyuan territory to rise again?"

"Okay, I'll go right now." Realizing Chen Shen's inexplicable excitement, Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned, and then laughed.

Yes, Mayor Chen in memory has not been so happy for a long time in recent years.

Last time, after the county magistrate Su came to the office and left, he happily sang songs for half an hour, drank a few glasses of white wine, and slept soundly.

This time, County Mayor Su sent a secret letter, which made Mayor Chen sigh on his own initiative, not only to get rid of the habit of staying up late, but also to replenish his body.

This Su County mayor.

He is such a strange man!
