Chapter 65 Difficulties
Tang Yan's face became more and more gloomy.

Zang Feng waved his hand across the diagonal, signaling him to be calm and calm.

The governor didn't know whether he was arrogant or wanted to suppress Tang Yan's prestige. He didn't speak for a long time - after all, this was the governor's palace. They were searched before entering the rostrum area to make sure they had no weapons before entering the office.

Any reasonable person would not make trouble in this situation, unless he was impatient.

He didn't light the ashes in the blue and white porcelain ashtray until the cigarette was half burned, and said slowly: "It's true that I am the governor of Gem City, but it doesn't mean that I can interfere with the operation of the entire system with absolute power. You should know that the governor The seat is not the throne of the emperor in the feudal dynasty, but the people who control the various departments are indeed equivalent to the ancient princes and nobles."

"The release of the bounty task is managed by the civil affairs envoy, who is not close to me..."

The governor's words made Tang Yan think a lot.

A pandaren army with a size of [-] people can give birth to the three giants of Lei Laoer, Lie Shou, and Tian Hu, who fight each other openly and covertly, and are hostile to each other.The economic and power disputes in Gem City, where tens of thousands of people live, are naturally worse.

The power system of Jewel City comes from the surviving military personnel of Qindao City in the old days. They come from different departments and have different designations.

In the difficult moment of starvation and nakedness, he was able to unite as one and lead the survivors of the nuclear bombing to settle in the stadium.When the city absorbs more and more migrants, the scale of the city becomes larger and longer, and the power class no longer has to worry about food, medicine, arms, transportation, entertainment, living environment and other living needs. The contradictions and conflicts accumulated in the process of dividing the interest cake will become more and more clear, more and more inflated, and finally become a bomb that explodes.

Gem City has not yet erupted a substantive power struggle, or military confrontation, all because of the efforts of this person in front of him.

A point of view recognized by many residents of Gem City is that if the person in front of him had not taken over the position of governor in time and pushed a monetary policy against the crowd, the current power system of Gem City would have collapsed four years ago.

Nearly 200 years have passed since the outbreak of the nuclear war, and Gem City has been established for decades. In order to plan the economic activities within the jurisdiction, after the city expansion was completed, the authorities promulgated a series of new regulations, the most critical of which was to end the long-standing In the barter business model, the Governor's Palace used pre-war technology to prepare and sell a city currency called gem coins. All services and goods in the market must reflect their value in the form of gem coins.

After the initial chaotic period, the issuance of gem coins laid a solid foundation for Gem City to become the largest economic and trade center in the eastern part of the peninsula, allowing the city's industry and commerce to develop in a healthy and orderly manner for many years.

In recent years, in order to compete with the kite city in the west for the support of some villages and towns in the region, they chose to send a large number of gem coins in the form of loans.

From a broad perspective, this is of positive significance to the development and growth of Gem City. However, for the residents of Gem City, this approach is tantamount to open plunder.

The several groups that hold power in Gem City rely on the loopholes in the policy and link up with lenders to take the newly issued Gem Coins of Gem City as their own, in order to exploit and plunder wealth.

Because the Governor's Office has monopolized power and resources, people dare not speak out.

In order to protect their property, the residents and merchants of Gem City sold their gem coins one after another and exchanged them for the hard currency of the wasteland world such as medicine, food, and ammunition.

Commodity prices in the bazaar soared for a while, and more and more shops returned to the original trading method of bartering.

Naturally, the power group in Gem City is unwilling to see this situation. The initial method is to punish those shopkeepers who refuse to accept gem coins and choose to barter with the crime of speculation.

This kind of act of killing chickens and monkeys did not solve the problem, but intensified the situation, which made some merchants and people in the city who had some savings feel fear.

Since the facts cannot be changed, we can only choose to vote with our feet.

So many people moved westward with medicines, arms, food and other supplies.

The transportation of goods requires safe and fast means of transportation, and bodyguards are required to clean up the living corpses along the way to prevent predators from attacking.It was under such circumstances that the black hand mercenary group and the white widow's convoy made great progress.

This phenomenon intensified, and the managers of Gem City were so anxious that they did not expect that the situation would deteriorate rapidly and the economic system would show signs of collapse.

They can't block the door and seal the city to prevent the residents from leaving, then the gem city will really be over.

What was once hailed as a far-sighted decision has become the starting point for the decline of Gem City.

In order to avoid responsibility and protect themselves, the people in front of the interest group pushed Luo Zuoming, the current governor, to the throne of the leader of Gem City.

Speaking of which, Luo Zuoming is also a capable person. In order to save Gem City, he used his own head as a bet and pushed forward the new monetary policy against all opinions.

First, a demonetization decree was promulgated to suspend the circulation of old gem coins and issue diamond coins.Gem City residents can exchange their gem coins for diamond coins at a certain rate.

Secondly, the diamond currency is anchored to the legal currency of the Western Union, and the Governor's Office has no power to issue currency privately.

With the cooperation of the Gem City Guards, the new monetary policy began to take effect, the order of the bazaar tended to be stable, and the commercial activities in the city gradually returned to the original level.

To put it bluntly, Luo Zuoming's actions saved Baoshi City and protected the interests of the residents in the city.

However, his actions blocked the way for some people in the power group to seize wealth, which caused dissatisfaction among many managers. However, because of the wide public support, those people did not do anything to him even if they were resentful.

With the passage of time, the crisis of the collapse of the Jewel City was gradually forgotten, and Luo Zuoming's control over the management of the Jewel City became stronger and stronger.

After all, the weather in the city keeps changing, but the people who control the lifeblood of the city are still the same.

Luo Zuoming is just a face figure pushed to the fore.

"I think the legion commander may be able to understand the helplessness behind the word 'involuntarily'." The governor looked at Zang Feng and sighed.

Tang Yan lowered his head and thought silently.

Wang Ming controls the taxation, security and energy supply of Gem City.

Chai Xiaonong who owns Xinghui Farm and Ranch.

Xia Qiming monopolizes the arms market and owns shares in Pink Paradise.

Responsible for civil affairs, and Huang Lei, who is a seafood tycoon in Gemstone City.

He dominates the pharmaceutical market, has close contacts with slave traders, and is the back-to-back talent of the black hand mercenary group's gold master.

The governor who can use one-third of the Gem City Guard's military strength.

Coupled with oligarchs in urban construction, water pipes, technology, transportation and other fields...these interest groups formed around representative figures constitute the management system of Gem City.

Tang Yan remembered a sentence - "Although a sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs."

The gem city is not large in scale, but there are many struggles in all aspects.

At this moment, Luo Zuoming suddenly looked at his face and said: "Although there is no way to help you directly, I can show you a clear way."
