Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

In mid-November, after another group of land reclamation households moved to the new town in the south, the new town's receiving capacity reached the upper limit.

After all, the basic base of the new town is only the [-] or so refugees who moved over in the first half of the year; almost every household in the first phase of reclamation came to help resettle the new immigrants. It would be a bit inappropriate to continue to increase the burden on others.

Fortunately, the sheep in Xinzhen is not the only one that needs to be resettled, there are other places where it can be squeezed...

Including the Ezekiel family, all the manors, farms, forests, and land under the names of the four noble families captured on the day of the siege for slave trading were confiscated by the city hall.

How rich are these four noble families who have made money by buying and selling people for many years?

The land alone has more than 80 mu, which is about [-] hectares...

Excluding the "paper property" in the south, west and north, the land in the central and eastern regions alone has more than 2 hectares.

Such a huge amount of land was divided into private property by only four noble families, and a large amount of good land was used to raise horses, build holiday manors, and circle it into private hunting grounds. How is the life of the people at the bottom of Adler not bitter!

Zhao Zhenzhen, the undead consul who came from the "Ping Tiao" of Inadili, didn't like this kind of land wasting. The [-] contract workers from Inadali and the [-] contract workers recruited locally from Dutata City are vigorously carrying out the land transformation campaign of bulldozing hunting grounds, demolishing holiday manors, and converting horse farms into farms...

Adler Territory does not need privately owned holiday estates, hunting grounds that are only for the nobles to enjoy in autumn, let alone horse farms that occupy a large amount of arable land for raising so-called expensive horses.

This side is doing land reform, and on the other side, Zhao Zhenzhen is also starting to liquidate the local nobles - it is not practical to take down all of them and hang up street lamps one by one, but the slaves acquired through illegal means must be returned to the city hall, verified and registered by the Department of Civil Affairs, and then restored to free citizens Identity; if the land occupied by the opportunistic usurpation is taken by the bitter master, it must be returned.

These two ruthless moves will undoubtedly cause the nobles of Dutata City to bleed, and several families have jumped out to oppose... Then there were many new recruits in the prison camps and prisons, and there were also many reformed places in the land reform presided over by the Secretary of Civil Affairs. .

After renovating a piece of land, some people will be selected from the slum residents and the rescued slaves to move there; although the speed of digestion is not as fast as that of the new town, it is still very stable and gradually diverts the huge slum population...

On this day, after his father, elder brother and younger sister left, Billy became a "left-behind child". After packing the remaining personal belongings in the shed, he reluctantly looked at the wooden house that he had lived in for 20 years, his head also He left the alley where he grew up without looking back.

"Billy, do you want to go to the City Construction Department to sign up?"

As soon as he returned to the contract worker's dormitory to put down his luggage, someone who lived in the next bed asked Billy curiously.

"Well, I planned to sign up from the beginning, I want to go to the Road Construction Bureau." Billy nodded.

There are several dormitories for contract workers, and Billy now lives in the dormitory building in Hexagon Alley... just next door to the small building that Colson O'Neill owned before he got rich.

Several aristocratic lords in Midtown were liquidated, and many private apartment buildings in Southtown were taken back by the city hall...

The environment of this kind of apartment building is not very good, there is no gas pipeline, no electricity, but it is a well-organized suite, with independent toilet and kitchen, and it is also classified as low-rent housing by the city hall. At that time, it will be registered in the special real estate file for selection by those who are eligible to allocate low-rent housing.

Before the lottery began to allocate low-rent housing, some apartment buildings were temporarily used as dormitories for contract workers.

In the room where Billy lives now, there are four roommates, two of whom signed up for the Bureau of Land Management of the Department of Civil Affairs, and followed the large force to flatten the hunting ground, leaving Billy and another roommate.

"The Road Construction Bureau... I always feel that it will be very hard." The roommate stretched and lay back on the bed lazily. Isn't the militia much easier than building roads?"

The situation of this roommate was similar to that of Billy. His family members were thinking about opening up wasteland and owning land, so they left with the arrangement of the logistics department, leaving him in the city.

But a little different from Billy, he didn't choose to stay because he yearned for a lot of development in the city hall, but because he didn't want to suffer the pain of opening up wasteland.

"Do you think the militia is easy? You have to participate in training frequently and perform tasks outside for a long time. You see that the Inadili militia here patrols outside every day. When we return from work, they are still patrolling." , It's not as easy as you think." Billy didn't like this lazy guy very much, so he said angrily.

"What's the trouble with patrolling? It's obviously very beautiful." The roommate seemed unable to hear Billy's displeasure, and said triumphantly, "Wearing that kind of handsome uniform and wearing a weapon, everyone has to bypass it when walking on the street. , isn’t it more comfortable than when you go to build roads and do hard work?”

Billy shook his head, too lazy to argue with this guy: "I'm going to attend night class, will you go?"

"No, no, there are too many mosquitoes outside." The roommate waved lazily.

"I don't even want to listen to evening classes, and I want to be a militiaman!" Billy left the dormitory alone angrily.

When going downstairs, Billy met people from other rooms who went to the class together, chatted with them a few words, and finally recovered his mood.

The first batch of people like Billy who were hired as contract workers were mostly in the slums, both men and women, but there were fewer women, and the dormitory buildings they lived in were not in the South District, but in the Midtown.

The evening classes for female contractors did not come to the South District, but in the former Viscount O'Neill's Mansion in the Midtown; Billy once heard that those women who attended classes with those women were also those who were beautiful on Garden Street and Center Avenue It's just that he doesn't go to the Midtown area very often, and he hasn't seen it with his own eyes.

The night school in Nancheng District is in a big house not far from Liujiao Alley. It used to be a casino owned by a local gang, and it has a beautiful and wide courtyard; It has become a large square that can accommodate thousands of people to attend lectures at the same time.

Billy, who brought his own stool, found a corner in the square and sat down with someone he knew. After a short wait, the square became more crowded.

Nowadays, the contract workers employed by the city hall are not only people from the slums, but also a lot of citizens from the Nancheng District and the port area. These people are not willing to get together with people born in the slums, and they are always divided into two groups. .

The people around Billy hated the arrogance of those "city people" and felt that people in the city were not as easy to deal with as people outside the city; Billy himself didn't feel much... He was often bullied by people in the slums since he was a child. He was also often disliked by others when he was working part-time. People in and out of the city were the same to him.

Both inside and outside the square were densely packed with people, and the clerk who gave the lecture came to the stage.

The clerk who gave the lecture today was a man about the same age as Billy's eldest brother, with a slender figure like a woman's. Although his skin was tanned and rough, he still had a handsome appearance.

As the clerk began his lecture, Billy heard some unfriendly murmurs and sneering noises nearby.

Billy glanced at the whisperer in disgust, remembering the person's appearance, stretched out his hand to lift the small bench under his buttocks, and moved it a little farther away.

"Don't deal with such rude people in the future." Billy told himself secretly, and then he listened to the class seriously.

The content of the evening class is very simple, just teach some commonly used common words, tell some short and interesting stories to let people remember the meaning and application scenarios of the words, and some simple polite words, such as saying request when you want help , After being helped, you should express your gratitude.

This kind of content learned by elementary school students and even preschool children on the earth is regarded as a literacy course in this foreign world... Although it is difficult to understand, there are indeed many uneducated people who do not even understand the most basic social etiquette , Even thank you will not say.

Mr. Clerk taught ten commonly used common characters in detail like those who attended the class before, explained the occasions where these characters are used, picked up the prepared newspaper, read the contents of the newspaper to the lecturers, and explained the contents of the newspaper. The reason and background of the message...

Evening classes with high mobility can’t prepare teaching materials like children’s schools, and can only use newspapers that are common in daily life as teaching materials—people who can understand newspapers can understand city halls If the promulgated decree can achieve this, the eradication of illiteracy will be considered a success.

Billy listened to the class carefully, and after class, he went to pick up a newspaper that the clerk and teacher had read tonight, and took it back to the dormitory to reread and review the texts that consolidated the learned text as much as possible—there is only one bulletin published by the town hall. Zhang, freely available to the public.

When Billy returned to the dormitory, the dormmate who was lazily lying on the bed suddenly became energetic and asked him who the clerk was in class tonight, and if it was the amazingly beautiful Phoebe from before.

Billy's anger rose suddenly, he gave the other party a hard look, and climbed onto the bed by himself.

"Why did you go crazy all of a sudden?" the roommate who was stared at complained dissatisfied.

The next day, Billy couldn't wait to rush to the city hall before going to work, and signed up at the Road Construction Bureau of the Municipal Construction Department.

After waiting for another two days, Billy was smoothly transferred from the logistics department to the department he wanted, moved out of the original dormitory, and learned the safety precautions in road construction with the militiamen from Inadoli.

In the following week, Billy excitedly came into contact with all kinds of mechanical creations owned by the Road Construction Bureau, and was even selected by an operator to be an assistant because of his higher enthusiasm and stronger learning ability. Learn how to drive a truck...

Entering December, more than 20 slum residents have been diverted away, leaving only less than 1 to [-] households waiting to be allocated low-rent housing by lottery.

The city hall was delighted with the speed of the diversion and placement, and simply advanced the lottery allocation.

Billy, who is single and does not have a household, has no chance to be assigned by lottery, and can only submit the application after he gets married.

More than 30 slum dwellers have been separated and resettled, and the road construction project has been prepared for almost two months before officially breaking ground.

The prisoners who have been locked up in the prison camp and prison for almost two months have finally waited for the day when they will see the sun again... Of course, they probably don't want to come to this day at all.

The first major project that the prisoners' road construction team participated in was to completely level the slums outside the city.

It is not an easy task to completely bulldoze a slum that covers an area of ​​more than ten kilometers. In addition to demolishing tens of thousands of dilapidated houses built in violation of regulations, it is also necessary to clean up an extremely astonishing mountain of garbage - some made by the residents of the city, and some Made by residents outside the city.

Billy, who is half a technician, was assigned to the transportation team, and he and his partner drove a small truck, responsible for transporting the garbage picked out by the prisoners to a farther place for incineration or landfill.

Billy, who had just learned to drive for more than half a month, nervously transported garbage back and forth with his partner. The round-trip distance of less than [-] kilometers also made the two novice drivers without driver's licenses feel like they were facing an enemy.

After a busy morning, Billy, who went back to the slums and waited for the prisoners to pick up garbage and load them into the truck, silently reviewed the driver's manual, suddenly saw his former roommate among the prisoners.

"Isn't that man a contract worker like us? How could he be in the prison team?" Billy asked his partner in surprise.

The partner was also very surprised: "Really, who is also a contract worker?"

Billy pointed out his former cellmate in the prison line who was carrying trash with a sad face, but his partner didn't know him.

In the early stages of cleaning up the slums, before the contractors of the Road Construction Bureau came out, except for Billy and other technicians who knew how to drive trucks, the others would not be transferred until the dilapidated houses were demolished and the garbage was cleared. Work on the pier and strengthen the flood protection on the pier.

Billy was really curious about how his former roommate, who kept saying he was going to the Department of Justice, became a prisoner. After work, he went to the Department of Justice to find out.

The Department of Public Security also took in a lot of contract workers. When Billy arrived, the Department of Public Security moved from the city hall to the port area was organizing training. Hundreds of contract workers who wanted to be militiamen were sticking out their tongues and carrying sandbags on the pier for reinforcement. The engineering team of the wharf flood control department helped, and also exercised physical fitness.

Billy found a contract worker he knew and inquired about his former roommate. The contract worker who was carrying sandbags, sweating profusely and with blood marks on his shoulders laughed loudly when he heard the name: "You said that guy, he really came I signed up, but I couldn't keep up with the training within a few days, and my grades in the night class were a mess, so I was dismissed by the detective."

"Then how did he become a prisoner?" Billy asked curiously.

"It's funny to talk about it." The contract worker who is trying to become a militiaman gloated, "You know, the city hall swept away all the casinos and brothels in the city. After paying their salaries last month, some people think If you have money and no place to spend it, you go to Huayuan Street to harass the rescued people—isn’t this just hitting our hands?"

Billy was surprised, but also disgusted and said: "It's not good to be a contract worker with a salary. If you have to be a prisoner with low pay and dirty work, this time it's not like you can quit if you don't want to. Serve it right!"
