President Huang's cooperation quickly silenced the voices making various small calculations in front of Jiuyou Tower. No one would be stupid enough to question the existence of the City Lord's Mansion at this time.
As the city lord, Mu Qing inevitably had to come forward and say a few words, but he shortened this boring process and glanced at the people who were smiling at him. Mu Qing said in a calm voice: "No one is here today. A few dozen people can impact the lives of dozens or even millions of people. This is the honor bestowed upon you, and it is also the responsibility you should shoulder."
"Facing Suzaku City after the disaster, there can be many righteousnesses and truths, but I hope you will keep one thing in mind from beginning to end."
Mu Qing paused, and then someone in the crowd began to wave their arms and echoed: "City Lord, please rest assured, the stability of Suzaku City is our common pursuit."
"What we are doing now is indeed for the sake of stability, and the pursuit of stability will be the insistence of the City Lord's Mansion." Mu Qing nodded, looked at everyone and said slowly and solemnly: "But this is not fundamental."
Mu Qing looked at President Huang. President Huang's expression suddenly became serious. After pondering for a moment, he said: "It's all about human beings. Only where people are present can there be hope."
Mu Qing smiled with satisfaction and said: "President Huang is right. Putting people first is the basis for the management of Suzaku City by the City Lord's Mansion headed by me."
Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing next to him. The concept of "people-oriented" was not what they told Mu Qing. Apparently, after slowly accepting the identity of the city lord, Mu Qing also started to think positively.
This is the kind of change she would like to see.
"Everyone present, the representative power covers almost all aspects of Suzaku City. Some people have suffered heavy losses in previous disasters. Perhaps they will consider more when facing some things and choose to wait and see what happens."
"I would like to say a few words to these people. The more times like this come, the more we need to understand the principle of putting people first. We can accumulate more if we have less wealth, but a complete and healthy life is the most important part of this city. The same goes for the family or force you represent."
This was the first time that President Huang saw Mu Qing look so serious and serious. After carefully thinking about what Mu Qing said, he took the initiative and said: "The disaster has passed, but the people who have returned from outside the city these days are not small. There are a lot of people who are already trapped in the city but are homeless. In addition to actively purchasing food, the Pharmacy Dealers Association is also willing to provide temporary housing for half of them."
President Huang's words were like a huge boulder falling from a high altitude into the lake. The huge impact caused by it made the people present instantly noisy, and they all cast shocked looks at him.
Mu Qing was able to gather some people to build a brand new City Lord's Mansion on the ruins after the disaster. No matter who saw this in person, they would cast a somewhat appreciative look at this young man.
But it is completely impossible for them to actively cooperate and support the actions of the City Lord's Mansion almost at all costs.
They will be moved by interests, but as long as the interests have not become a reality and are not actually held in their hands, most of them will still wait and see what happens as Mu Qingcai said. Go ahead only if you are sure it will be beneficial.
The most lacking thing in Suzaku City now is people with this kind of thinking.
Therefore, President Huang's speech really shocked those who were just preparing to add some flattery to the cake today, because after being surprised, they almost intuitively believed that President Huang must have reached an extreme agreement with Mu Qing and the others on the second floor just now. Important transaction.
It is precisely because of the existence of this transaction that President Huang, a person who originally never saw a rabbit or a hawk, is so keen to please the City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Qing looked at the people in front of him quietly, watching various expressions such as shock, suspicion, and uneasiness appear on their faces in turn. When more and more eyes were turned towards him, he spoke: "The Guards will send out the most elite The army escorted the caravan of the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce."
"City Lord!" Someone finally stood up, "Can our caravan go together?"
Mu Qing looked at the speaker and said flatly: "Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough. The Pharmacist Association has only one purpose in going north this time, which is to bring back scarce food for Suzaku City. In addition to sending an army, the City Lord's Mansion has no other All expenses, including the purchase of food, gold and silver, were financed by medicine.
Chamber of Commerce support. "
President Huang stood not far away, unknowingly straightening his waist a little. The drug dealer might be short of other things, but money is just as much as the medicinal materials that have nowhere to be stored. Even if someone wants it, To compete with them for this opportunity to gain favor, you must first carefully consider whether it is better to compete with their drug dealers and spend money like water.
Mu Qing saw that these people were hesitant to speak, "City Lord Cao is mainly responsible for the external affairs of Zhuque City. It won't take long for Zhuque City to resume normal business exchanges. The reason why the army will be sent to escort this time is because the outside world The situation in Suzaku City is still unclear.”
Mu Qing dealt with these people for a few words, then looked at President Huang and said: "It is already the end of autumn, and sufficient food reserves are the basis for fewer deaths this winter. It is a great achievement for the Pharmacy Merchant Association to bring back enough food. "
"As for those homeless people, you should all understand that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Just like the City Lord's Mansion will not stay in this high-rise building forever, those people can stay in the residence you provide for a short time. But a house of their own, no matter how small it is, is the foundation for Suzaku City to be truly stable."
Chairman Huang thought of Mu Qing's dedication to the reconstruction, and a light flashed in his heart. He looked at Mu Qing with bright eyes and asked: "The city lord plans to use work as a relief to allow these temporarily homeless people to participate." Come to rebuild?”
Mu Qing and Wang Yeqing looked at each other and smiled. This was indeed what he wanted to say right away. In fact, there are not only one or two people with long-term vision and wisdom like President Huang, but compared to President Huang , these people have not yet realized that the establishment of Mu Qing's city lord's mansion will definitely not be as simple as the rotation of power in the past.
Mu Qing looked at those people who were frowning and thinking, and said proactively: "This is indeed the matter that the City Lord's Mansion is most concerned about at the moment and will soon start. Whether it is a shortage of food or homelessness, these are all manifestations of the problem. "For those affected by the disaster, the real problem is that many of them are temporarily unable to find a way to make a living."
“Instead of letting them fall into a situation that violates morality and violates the law, it is better to provide these people with a job opportunity to survive. At this time, human labor is cheap, but being able to survive is the most important thing. "
Mu Qing's gaze swept across the crowd. A dark-skinned middle-aged man seemed to know that Mu Qing was looking for him. He quickly rushed to the front of the crowd and said with excitement: "City Lord, my Li family's dental shop has actually always been there." It provides a large amount of labor force, but due to the impact of these two days, a working man working for one day may not be able to exchange for a day's rations for a family of three. Even with this market situation, countless people still come to Yaxing to show their name. "
As the saying goes, there is a mountain across the street. Although these family heads or wealthy businessmen probably know that there is no shortage of labor in Zhuque City today, they still never thought that the wages here in Yahang would be so low. Many people began to scold Family Master Li for his evil intentions. money.
The head of the Li family was so angry that his face turned red, and he scolded her back: "You guys are talking about your mother's stinky shit. Even the city lord said before that the Li family cannot invest the human resources of the dental shop in their own industry. Just this You know how many prime-age laborers the Li family has sent to you in these two days."
The head of the Li family rushed ten steps in front of Mu Qing, bent down and performed all the courtesy before saying with an aggrieved face: "Sir City Lord, although the Li family wants to make money, it does not make shady money. The proportion of agency fees collected by Yaxing It’s still the same as before, so even if the dental clinic requires more than ten times more labor than before, and even collapses from exhaustion, it still doesn’t make much money.”
Mu Qing ignored the complaints of the head of the Li family. While the family was still thinking about carrying on the past and starting over, the Li family, which controlled many dental shops, had already begun to make money. Although the agency fee collected from a single laborer had become extremely meager, But as long as the total number is increased, it is still a very profitable business.
Therefore, Mu Qing can completely understand the mentality of the people present when facing the Li family leader. It is really annoying for the Li family leader to act like a good boy after getting an advantage.
Mu Qing asked with a cold face: "How much food can a strong man get in exchange for working hard for a day?"
The head of the Li family felt Mu Qing's attitude, his expression became much more solemn, and he quickly replied: "One liter."
"One liter?" Mu Qing was really insensitive to this number, so he heard Wang Yeqing beside him say in a deep voice: "One liter?"
Lift what? A liter of corn? "
The head of the Li family was a little embarrassed and hesitantly replied: "Those laborers are extremely mobile. They don't need any financial settlement these days, only food. And the Li family has raised money in many ways, but they can only raise some yellow rice."
Wang Yeqing glanced at Mu Qing and said gloomily: "Coarse grains like corn are the staple food of ordinary people, but yellow rice was mostly used to cook wine because it is not easy to digest."
The head of the Li family glanced at Wang Yeqing and explained in a low voice: "The situation in Zhuque City cannot be hidden from the city lord and Mrs. Wang, but there is one thing that the city lord can ask at any time. He wants yellow rice instead of corn. Besides, yellow rice is easier to raise. In addition, it is also because of these people’s own requirements.”
Wang Yeqing frowned and sighed softly: "It's not easy to digest, which means it's not easy to get hungry. And one liter of yellow rice is not even enough for an adult man to consume in a day."
Seeing the terrible expressions on the two people's faces, the head of the Li family quickly said: "City Lord, this is not something that my family can change. The Li family has broken their legs just collecting food these days. If you don't believe it, I can immediately pull a few people out to follow I confront."
Everyone looked at the head of the Li family with a gloating attitude, but after hearing that the blame was shifting towards them, they suddenly lost their composure, and everyone was expounding on their family's difficulties.
Mu Qing raised his eyes and glanced at these people indifferently. The scene was suddenly silent, and no one was stupid enough to become the job that Mu Qing started after taking office.
Mu Qing looked away and asked the head of the Li family calmly: "Since you are talking about a family of three, what will happen to the woman and the child?"
The head of the Li family replied with complex eyes: "Men are the laborers and the head of the family. If the food is given to women and children, they will collapse first, so men must consume most of the food, while women and children can drink a sip of rice soup." , it would be great if I could hold my breath and not die."
As if he was afraid of saying this and making the young man in front of him who had just begun to enjoy the status of city lord feel unhappy, the head of the Li family added with a painful look on his face: "Sir, city lord, the Li family has absolutely no interference, and has no intention of affecting these laborers. Those who don’t do this can persist for at most two or three days before collapsing first, and the first to die will be their children.”
Mu Qing frowned and was silent for a long time.
He still remembered that when he and Murong Jing were walking on the street in the morning, he also lamented the strong vitality displayed by those people and the numbness of doing the same thing over and over again. However, it was only after he was truly exposed to the cruel and cold reality that he realized Understand that sometimes numbness can help people survive.
After all, not everyone can eat most or all of the food by themselves when their wife and children are about to starve to death.
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he walked to the Li family leader, looked at the people who were looking at him, and said in a deep voice: "The City Lord's Mansion needs you to provide food for those who are dying of hunger."
"City Lord, we were planning to donate a batch of materials and food for free, please don't worry."
Mu Qing took the initiative to request, and no one would refuse at this time. After all, providing one carriage and providing ten carriages of food were both corresponding calls, and it was completely beneficial but not expensive to deepen the relationship between them.
Now some people have begun to look at President Huang of the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce with provocative eyes. Although your Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce has come out on top and won the favor of the city lord, after all, it is impossible to conjure a large amount of food out of thin air. In the end, you have spent a lot of money, and you can't. Selling a good one right away is a complete loss-making sale.
Mu Qing waited until the people who took the initiative to show their kindness gradually became quiet, and then said: "The City Lord's Mansion would like to thank you for your kindness, but during the period when the Medicine Dealer's Association is bringing back food, it is completely unrealistic to rely solely on your generosity. How to do it, so the City Lord’s Mansion will buy it from you.”
"As for the price of food and the specific method of payment, the City Lord's Palace plans to reach a flexible agreement with you, but please rest assured that the City Lord's Palace will never let you suffer."
Mu Qing paused for a moment. Seeing that these people were all in deep contemplation and did not dare to reply easily, he did not take it seriously. He turned to look at the head of the Li family in front of him, "The City Lord's Mansion needs the support of the Li family."
The head of the Li family no longer dared to underestimate the young man beside him. Hearing this, he said respectfully: "City Lord, please speak."
Mu Qing pondered for a moment and said slowly and solemnly: "The city lord's palace will issue an announcement to start the reconstruction of Suzaku City. And the first batch of laborers will
The labor force is selected from the labor force currently registered in the Li family. You should understand what conditions the labor force I am referring to must meet. "
The head of the Li family breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The newly registered laborers in the past few days basically meet the requirements of the city lord, and most of them have not signed long-term contracts with their employers."
Mu Qing nodded to express his understanding. After all, according to the current situation of extremely cheap labor, if you are stupid enough to sign a long-term contract, it is completely a chronic death.
Thinking of this, Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "In this case, those who have signed long-term labor contracts can also have the opportunity to choose again."
The head of the Li family felt happy, and he glanced at those who listened with their ears in an awkward manner, "City Lord, most of those who have signed long-term contracts have become slaves of the business owners and merchants here. You see..."
In these matters, Mu Qing didn't mind the little details of the Li family head that deliberately fanned the flames. He didn't even look at those people. "The City Lord's Mansion was officially established today. Some of the unreasonable things before that are naturally It shouldn’t exist anymore. I’m sure they won’t care.”
President Huang had been listening carefully to Mu Qing's words. At this time, he took the risk of being disliked by Mu Qing and took the initiative to remind him: "City Lord, most of those who signed long-term contracts are alone and have no family to care about. These people You may decide that becoming a slave is a good choice.”
"I know." Mu Qing smiled at President Huang and said, "So what the City Lord's Mansion needs to do most now are two things. One is to leave and start the reconstruction of Suzaku City, and the other is to raise enough food. I I believe these two things can be done simultaneously.”
Mu Qing sorted out the thoughts in his mind, his eyes swept over the cautious-looking people in the field, and said slowly: "For those who are about to participate in the reconstruction, they will first participate in the reconstruction near Qingyun Street, and The rebuilt houses will be the houses they will live in in the future.”
"As for those of you who are about to participate at the scene, those who provide food can make your reasonable requests to the city lord's palace, and those who provide reconstruction materials can participate in the subsequent reconstruction of the inner city with priority."
While Mu Qing was talking, the westward-moving sunlight in the afternoon fell on the water channel under the Jade Bridge, like a flowing flame, while the people in front of the Jade Bridge were silent, as if they were considering taking the initiative to join in what was destined to be a huge event. During the reconstruction, there was profit or loss, so that after Mu Qing finished speaking, everyone looked thoughtful, and no one could answer.
"City Lord." President Huang broke the silent atmosphere and said proactively: "I think everyone knows that this is a good thing, and the reason why everyone is hesitant is actually because there are many details missing."
Mu Qing nodded and said: "This is a normal thing. The City Lord's Mansion will come up with a cooperation plan as soon as possible. You can choose the part you are interested in."
President Huang smiled slightly, glanced at the tangled face of the Li family, and said: "The Drug Merchant Association is willing to cooperate with the actions of the City Lord's Mansion. As long as the Li family provides labor, the reconstruction of Qingyun Street will begin immediately. As for food, The drug dealers are willing to raise the required food in the city at twice the highest food price this year."
"hiss--"
There was a gasp of air-conditioning at the scene. Everyone felt the strong courage of Chairman Huang. They even turned their questioning eyes to other people in the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce. What kind of deal would make the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce so united?
If you hesitate again, will you miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
The head of the Li family was the first to make the decision among these people. He said respectfully to Mu Qing: "The Li family is willing to fully cooperate with the actions of the City Lord's Mansion. The labor force for the reconstruction of Qingyun Street will be gathered tomorrow morning."
As soon as the head of the Li family spoke out, some people expressed their support for the city lord's mansion.
They were not stupid. President Huang's last stupidity seemed to allow them to sell the food accumulated in their home at a good price, but it cost them an opportunity to communicate with the city lord's palace alone.
This is something they will never allow. Even those who are not so optimistic about the City Lord's Mansion still understand that it is a foolish thing to sever the relationship with the City Lord's Mansion.
