The sky was dark and the stars flickered. Due to power supply problems, the entire prime minister's gathering place was almost pitch black except for some key buildings and roads that were faintly lit.

Click~

On the second-floor balcony of the prime minister's official residence, a crisp sound of a lighter suddenly rang out.

Huhuhu~

A light blue flame whizzed out from the lighter nozzle and lit the cigarette in Gu Jianguo's hand.

hiss~

huh~~

Gu Jianguo half leaned on the balcony railing, took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke heavily, holding the lit cigarette lazily in his mouth.

In the dim light and shadow, the usually dignified and serious Mayor Gu actually showed a bit of cynical ruffian spirit.

As a mayor, as the person in charge of the gathering place, as a husband, as a father, whether before or after the apocalypse, among the many roles he plays, only the few minutes after get off work every day truly belong to him..

Only when no one is around, he dares to let his true self out and breathe...

...

In the darkness, the red dot caused by the burning cigarette seemed to float in the air, flickering like a breathing light according to the rhythm of Gu Jianguo's smoking.

The night was cool and the cool breeze from the balcony was very refreshing, clearing up Gu Jianguo's tired and confused mind.

There is a cold moon hanging in the sky above, and its cool silver light spreads all over the earth. Looking into the distance, the mountains in the distance are dimly visible.

Gazing at the vast scene before him, Gu Jianguo's mental fatigue was involuntarily greatly relieved.

...

This period of time is busy, a time full of vitality and everything is competing for development!

First, the survivors were organized to move from the southern ring area of ​​Prime Minister Town to the central area of ​​Prime Minister Town, which brought larger population-carrying building area, infrastructure, and a more livable environment!

Then the total number of survivors finally exceeded 10!

During this period, under Gu Jianguo's governance, the rapidly growing labor force was not left idle, but was all invested in construction to create labor value!

Build a 20-meter-high and 5-meter-wide defense wall that can surround the entire Prime Minister Town, and resume work in the surrounding quarries, sand fields, cement plants, food canning plants, and garment factories....

The reason why Prime Minister Town has a food canning factory is because of its unique climatic conditions.

This has led to orchards all around the Prime Minister Town, where, except for tropical fruits, almost all the fruits seen on the market are grown, forming a huge fruit planting industry.

Peaches, cherries, loquats, pears, grapes, kiwis, dragon fruit, passion fruit, watermelons, oranges, grapefruits...

There are so many varieties that even Gu Chengyuan, a local, can't figure out how many fruits are grown in Prime Minister Town.

These are just the major categories. There are many subcategories under the major categories. For example, peaches are divided into white peaches, yellow peaches, nectarines, and hairy peaches....

Grapes are divided into Kyoho grapes, seedless grapes, and Sunshine Rose grapes...

During this period of arable land development, some cadres proposed to directly eradicate these orchards and plant them with staple foods that could fill stomachs and survive.

You know, in the end times, an extra pound of food can definitely save a life!

However, this proposal was quickly rejected by Gu Jianguo, who even issued an order specifically for this purpose, ordering that not only should these orchards not be eradicated, but instead special people should be appointed to take care of them and strengthen protection!

The reason is very simple. For the time being, these fruits really don’t mean much to the survivors. It’s good enough to be alive without starving to death. Why eat fruits?

But the only thing more meaningful than giving survivors more food is benefiting the military!

As time goes by, the fruits in the cold storage will be eaten up, and the sealed canned fruits will also be eaten up!

At that time, the military will have no choice but to face a wave of salary reductions!

And if the prime minister's gathering place can retain this huge fruit industry to the greatest extent possible, doesn't that mean the army's logistics are preserved?

I would like to ask, what is more important than ensuring a good military in the end times?

The army is the source of everything!

Without the support of the army, the so-called reconstruction of civilization is nothing but rootless duckweed!

In addition, Gu Jianguo also has selfish motives. Another purpose of ensuring the welfare of the army is to ensure his son's control over the army!

The emperor has plenty of hungry soldiers!

You must know that military power is the source of your family’s power!

Or to put it more cruelly, even if you razed the orchard to give each survivor more food and more food, you would not be appreciated by ordinary people.

Because humans don't appreciate logic

Human beings are like sheep, they need leadership, not self-determination...

As long as the Gu family can consolidate their power, it will be the greatest contribution to mankind...

...

dong dong dong~

"lead!"

"Leader, are you still here?"

Gu Jianguo had just put out his cigarette and was about to pack up and go home for bed when he heard the voice of his secretary Zhang Wei outside the office.

?

Why did you come to see me so late? What happened?

Thinking of this, Gu Jianguo's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly said:

"Enter!"

"Leader! Good news! Good news!" After Zhang Wei pushed the door open, he didn't even bother to say hello, but kept congratulating everyone, his face as rosy as if he had drunk wedding wine.

"Good news? What good news?" After hearing Zhang Wei's good news, Gu Jianguo finally felt relieved.

No matter what the good news is, as long as it is not bad news for Gu Jianguo, it’s fine!

After hearing so much bad news, he is a little stressed out now!

"If I remember correctly, you should be on duty tonight, right? Could it be news from the provincial capital?" Gu Jianguo guessed.

Could it be that the brat in his family finally decided to give him a military post? ?

Who says you can’t worship a general by planting potatoes?

General Potato is also a general, don’t treat potato as a general!!!

It's no wonder that Gu Jianguo was thinking about a military career. On the one hand, he was quite obsessed with it, and on the other hand, Gu Chengyuan didn't tell him about Yucheng beforehand.

Comrade Lao Gu had no idea that Gu Chengyuan had sent people to Yucheng to look for his brother!

This concealment was also out of good intentions. After all, Gu Chengyuan was not sure he could find it at the beginning.

I made such a big fuss in advance and borrowed a lot of money to save my brother. But if he is not found in the end, wouldn't it make my parents even more disappointed?

"Leader, you are truly a man of insight and foresight!" Zhang Wei flattered him reflexively.

"Reporting to the leader, according to the news from the provincial capital, the Fire Seed Commando found Gu Chengyun in Yucheng today. He has now safely arrived at the Chongyi gathering place in Yezhou and will return to the night market tomorrow morning!"

?

Gu Chengyun? ?

Carrier? !!!

...

...

The sudden news made Gu Jianguo stunned and completely speechless...

this...

this...

...

Bang!

The huge surprise made Gu Jianguo almost lose his balance and in his panic he knocked over the water cup on the desk.

The piercing sound of broken ceramics exploded in the office, pulling Gu Jianguo out of his silent world.

"Everything is fine! Everything is fine! It just happens that the second young master has been rescued!" Zhang Wei reacted quickly and said festive words.

But at this time, Gu Jianguo could no longer listen. Only five words were repeating madly in his mind!

Chengyun was saved!!

Chengyun was saved!!

...

No, I have to go back and tell the kid’s mother! My wife will be very happy when she finds out!

"Ah Wei, prepare the car! Quick!"

Gu Jianguo's voice trembled. Zhang Wei had never seen his leader lose his composure like this!

"Yes!"

The leader was happy, and Zhang Wei was also smiling happily, and ran out happily!
