Chapter 1315 The Winds and Clouds Are Rising, and the Spring Chill Is Coming!
Internal affairs have always been a hard and delicate job.
It does not require participants to have superior wisdom or, but rather values the kind of persistent serious attitude and professionalism.
Even in ancient times when information was not circulated, scholars who had only received basic education could easily deal with various complicated affairs of all sizes and manage the illiterate people.
In today's wasteland, since most survivors have been bombarded by the information age, management is undoubtedly easier.
Su Mo only needs to put forward simple ideas, and naturally there will be people responsible for completing the specific rules.
Even if it involves the change of the direction of territory development, it is not too difficult.
It only took one afternoon, and the new rules for the development of Tianyuan territory in version 0 were freshly released during the discussion!
Among them, there are three aspects that are emphasized for implementation.
First, fully liberalize the territory's external development policy and no longer restrict the flow of residents in the territory.
A new expedition team system similar to that of a company is established to encourage those scavenger route players who are keen on adventure to actively explore the unknown areas around them.
Whether it is discovering precious resources, bringing back advanced technology, or finding new populations.
As long as the exploration results are beneficial to the future development of the territory, they will receive direct rewards from the territory.
At the same time, Tianyuan Underground City will also add a new expedition team level system.
This system will assess the level of the expedition team according to the completion of its contribution tasks.
As the level increases, the expedition team will be able to purchase advanced equipment that is not open to civilians.
What is more worth mentioning is that when the level of the expedition team reaches a certain height, it can even put forward its own special needs to the research institute in the territory and customize exclusive expedition equipment or technical support.
Second, restart the investment loan system to provide valuable initial financial support for residents who have entrepreneurial dreams.
With the end of the initial 0 underground city's foreign investment, the underground city has not issued loans to the outside world for more than half a year because the territory's industrial development is in a breakthrough period.
Although there is no strict prohibition on private fundraising and lending, only a few people can really convince others to invest.
Most people have ideas and enthusiasm in their hearts, but they often find it difficult to turn their dreams into reality due to lack of funds, and ultimately they can only be relegated to assembly line work.
Now, the opportunity has finally come!
The second phase of the underground city investment will release 100 places to provide valuable initial financial assistance to residents who are interested in starting a business, and will determine the potential based on the prospects of the plan and give certain tax exemptions.
And most importantly, the investment direction this time is no longer limited to fixed industrial directions, but a wide range of investment to encourage the vigorous development of diversified entrepreneurial projects.
The investment amount starts from a minimum of 10,000 copper coins and can reach a maximum of 200,000 copper coins, which is enough to meet entrepreneurial projects of various sizes and needs.
Third, it will further reduce the difficulty for ordinary residents to hold hot weapons.
It is obviously not enough to allow people to go out of the territory. Going out for adventure is bound to encounter various dangers.
Therefore, the conditions for holding hot weapons are relaxed, so that more residents can carry hot weapons legally and safely to deal with possible emergencies.
Not only can it enhance the residents' own protection capabilities, but it can also clear possible threats near the exploration territory.
Of course, hot weapons are a double-edged sword after all.
No matter which direction you enter the territory from, you must hand it over to the safekeeping office as soon as possible to avoid abuse and misuse.
In addition to the three new regulations that will be promulgated and implemented, the future development route of the territory will also usher in important changes.
Version 0 mainly emphasizes the strategy of "building high walls", that is, giving priority to its own stability and accumulation of heritage, keeping a low profile, focusing on the development of industry and technology, and striving to create a clear gap with other players to ensure that the territory can establish a short-term crushing advantage.
Entering version 0 will usher in a new stage - "accumulating food".
In this stage, more attention will be paid to the storage and accumulation of resources to lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the territory.
Not only should we actively explore the surrounding areas, expand resource acquisition channels, and strengthen cooperation and exchanges with other regions to obtain more material and talent support.
At the same time, we will also focus on enhancing the influence and self-sufficiency of the territory to ensure that there are sufficient resource reserves to deal with various challenges.
As for the implementation, the complete details have not yet been discussed.
But it is certain that the first stage of accumulating "food" is definitely the population.
"Qiao Yuansheng, you are in charge of economic development and promoting the implementation of various industrial investments. I need you to put aside other matters during this period and devote yourself to market research. Accurately review each entrepreneurial demand to ensure the continued healthy development of the territory's economy."
"Bao Lei, you are in charge of population transportation and rescue, and are mainly responsible for connecting with the transportation of foreign populations. I need you to pay close attention to the safety and efficiency of transportation, and provide a safe and smooth experience for every new resident who joins. Your responsibility is particularly important, so you must do your best and don't make big mistakes."
"Feng Tianmin, you will be in charge of the selection of the Tianyuan Army. You will have certain privileges and give priority to the selection of soldiers from foreign populations to quickly improve the territory's external combat capabilities."
"Feng Long, as the general leader of the expedition team, you must fully support and assist the expedition team's external exploration work, especially in the early stages. You must ensure that every exploration of the expedition team can be carried out safely and effectively without causing major casualties."
"Chen Kai, general leader of resource development and utilization"
"Jiang Chenfeng, general leader of cultural education and communication"
"Su Wei, general leader of information technology and digital development"
"Lv Kuan, general leader of technology and innovation"
"Li Hu, general leader of territory security and defense"
"Lin Yueru, general leader of environmental protection and sustainable development" Development"
"Gong Zhengyang, General Manager of Diplomacy and External Relations"
"Ai Jianqiang, Fan Fuzheng, General Manager of Infrastructure Construction and Planning"
"Yan Xiaqing, Zhuo Junfan, General Manager of Public Health and Health Management"
'Ai Jianfeng' Su Mo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes kept sweeping over the faces that were either unfamiliar or familiar, until he had given instructions on all aspects and designated the person in charge, and then ordered: "Everyone, you have a heavy responsibility, and you must do your best to lay the foundation for the development of version 0!"
"Understood!"
The answer of nearly a hundred people was very neat.
Compared with the situation when Tianyuan Territory was just established, the current scale is no longer comparable.
In this process, you only need to arrange the specific work.
As a lord, Su Mo plays more of a supervisory role, and only needs to check the results regularly to ensure that all work can be carried out as expected.
"By the way, let Chen Shen start as soon as possible, and bring back the talents he has recently gathered."
"Also, contact Mengyue Territory as soon as possible to communicate relevant rescue information."
Calling Gong Zhengyang, Su Mo made arrangements again.
"I'll go now."
Gong Zhengyang nodded repeatedly, wrote down the requests one by one, and left briskly.
There have been many diplomatic requests in recent times, but the rules of Tianyuan Territory have not been completely relaxed.
So he has to think of a new excuse every day to evade those inquiries, or simply pretend not to see them.
Now that the new rules are in effect, it feels like a big stone has fallen from his heart.
"We have to notify Mengyue first, they should be getting anxious!"
The southern part of the New World.
The sun shines through the thick clouds, sprinkling on the vast tropical land, bringing sufficient light to this fertile land.
If there is no threat of the upcoming "three cold spring" disaster, according to the unique geographical conditions here, it should have quickly risen to become the main gathering place for humans.
But unfortunately, there are only three days left before the disaster.
Most of the territories were shrouded in a tense and busy atmosphere, preparing various anti-movement facilities in a desperate effort to protect the crops that had just been planted.
In those territories that mainly plant rice, the tranquility and peace of the past had long since disappeared.
At this moment, most of them were in a mess, as if they had just experienced a tragic foreign invasion.
The rice seedlings in the fields fell to the ground, the withered leaves swayed weakly in the wind, and the broken farm tools were scattered everywhere, quietly telling the impact of the disaster.
Especially in the Mengyue Territory, where more than 80% of the rice was planted, and the lord ran away with the supplies.
The situation here is even more serious than in other territories, and the order has long been on the verge of collapse.
As long as night falls, the fatigue and depression of the day will instantly erupt.
The gathering place is no longer a paradise for people to enjoy peace, but a place where tragic thefts and robberies are staged.
In order to compete for the pitiful supplies, the strong male survivors fought to the death like beasts, using all means.
The desire to survive pushed them to the edge of cruelty and ruthlessness. Some people even resorted to all means and lost their humanity in order to survive. Others gave up completely in despair, allowing themselves to sink into darkness and no longer hold any hope.
In such chaos, women and children were undoubtedly the most innocent victims.
They were weak and powerless, and could not resist the men who were driven crazy by the desire to survive.
Many people could only huddle under the broken eaves or wander in the desolate wilderness, with nowhere to go.
The cold wind at night pierced their skin like a knife, making them shiver.
The scorching sun during the day ruthlessly scorched the earth, leaving them nowhere to hide.
Life has become like hell for them, and hunger and fear have become the main theme of every day.
It was just dusk at this time, and the night had not yet fallen.
Mengyue County was already filled with a more chaotic atmosphere than the previous few days.
The sound of sharpening knives and shouting of cursing were everywhere, foreshadowing the upcoming war.
Although before the disaster, they had never thought of wielding the butcher knife against their own kind.
But now, in order to survive, the male survivors who chose the fighting route have almost all been forced to the edge of the cliff and completely lost their minds.
Even if Xi Ruyue led the remaining defense team to walk in the gathering place, trying to maintain the shaky order and ordering the survivors who were ready to cause trouble to return to their residences, she could not avoid the war that was bound to break out at night.
On those people's faces, she saw endless fatigue and despair.
Their eyes had long been empty, and they had lost hope and confidence in life.
Stop?
Unless the confidence of these people to survive can be awakened, they can only rely on violence to fight violence.
Some may ask why not escape this hellish territory?
The answer is simple.
Without supplies, where can we go?
Other territories in the New World are busy preparing for the coming cold spring, and no one is willing to take in a group of burdensome people.
And as the area continues to expand, it is almost impossible to cross thousands of kilometers of barren mountains and rivers with only legs and a few supplies.
Taking advantage of the last ray of sunset, the defense team returned to the only remaining station.
"No news yet?"
As soon as she returned to the station, Xi Ruyue couldn't wait to find Chu Chaofei.
However, it is disappointing, or despairing, that the message they send out is like a mud cow sinking into the sea.
Most people in the defense team have used up all their disaster points, but still haven't received any reply.
"No, we monitor the World Channel all the time."
"Don't worry, maybe you missed it because you were scrolling too many times."
Chu Chaofei comforted him gently, but in fact he was also enveloped in anxiety and uneasiness.
If I didn’t see it once or twice, I would be forgiven, but I didn’t see it hundreds of times.
Xi Ruyue took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to calm down her emotions.
She raised her head and looked at Chu Chaofei, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "How much supplies do we have?"
Chu Chaofei was stunned, thinking that Xi Ruyue would suddenly ask this question.
But as his eyes involuntarily glanced outside the station, he had an answer.
Unknowingly, more and more women and children had gathered near the defense station.
Today's scene seems to be more severe than ever before. The crowd has almost filled the two surrounding blocks, their eyes full of helplessness and longing.
"This is too much. If we still send it to them, we will last for half a month at most!"
Although half of the inventory was taken away by the previous lord, many people still had some supplies hidden away, and there was absolutely no problem in sustaining them for a few months.
Most of the people gathered around now are poor people who have been robbed of supplies.
Xi Ruyue was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something, but finally said: "Come on, we can last at least half a month, they"
Before she finished speaking, Chu Chaofei looked at the red bloodshot eyes and couldn't help feeling sad.
As the new Lingzhu elected by the defense team, Xi Ruyue had not had a good rest for many days in a row, but she still failed to clean up the mess.
Things are getting worse now
Chu Chaofei took a deep breath and could only try to make his voice sound firm: "Okay, then you can rest for a while, and I will lead people to distribute supplies."
