Old Butch's mood was very complicated.
As a person gets older, he has experienced more hardships, and he has always shouldered the safety of the entire Wasted Dong Society on his shoulders. It is inevitable that he will overthink and be suspicious of everything.
In his opinion, the hundreds of people in the Feidong Society join a group to stay warm in the dangerous wasteland in order to survive. No matter what situation you encounter, it is better to think more and be more prudent. Even if you miss many opportunities, it is still better than making a wrong step and being catastrophic.
Of course he was extremely lucky that the Governor led troops to rescue him. Without outside help, all of them would have died.
But to be honest, what he expected most was for the governor to lead his troops to kill all the bandits and then leave. Even if it requires them to pay a little more, that's fine. The worst-case scenario he thought about was to pay double the taxes in two years. That might starve half of the people in the Wastedong Society to death, but it was better than all of them dying.
But now, not only did the Governor not ask them to pay anything, but he was also willing to give them more, which made Old Butch very worried.
There is no price, which may mean the biggest price.
After listening to Gu Hang’s speech, he couldn’t help but feel excited, and he also cheered and performed along with the crowd.
Of course, what the Governor said was what he expected, and what he wanted in his dreams.
But
Is it really possible?
The people of Feidong Society have nothing but a handful of strength. There is no technology, no equipment, and even resources like mines are abandoned mines before the war. The reserves are small and the mining is very difficult. How could a good-quality mineral vein fall into their hands?
How could they pursue a better life?
Old Butch simply could not imagine it.
He didn’t want this, but he couldn’t help but think about the worst in his heart. He felt that Gu Hang was deceiving them by saying these things, and he might pack them up and sell them as slaves in the future. of.
But he is no longer the leader of the Wasted Dong Society.
Patel, the current leader, seems to have been brainwashed and fanatically believes in the words of the Governor. After the Governor's speech, the boy was so excited that he waved and walked away, saying that he wanted to discuss the follow-up development plan of the Wasted Dong Society.
“I was sold and I helped count the money”
Old Butch could only return to his cramped and musty little space, feeling secretly depressed.
Not long after he was depressed, there was a knock on his door.
Opening the door, Patel walked in.
The room was pitch dark, and Patel asked, "Why don't you light the lamp?"
"Save a little."
"According to the Governor, As I said, a happy life cannot be achieved by saving energy."
"Haha, you are talking about the Governor now."
"He saved us."
“I neverDeny this. ”
“He will also bring us a bright future. ”
“Hmm. "Old Butch was a little perfunctory. He had given up trying to persuade Patel.
The matter has come to this, what else could it be?
To be honest, the Wasted Dong Society has no strength. Even if it is If Patel listened to him, how could he still resist the Governor?
Thinking of this, he became even more disheartened. He asked half-heartedly, "Why don't you discuss the plan with the Governor?" What are you doing here, a bad old man like me?"
"We've already discussed it, I'm here to help you. "
"So fast"
"The Governor is very particular about efficiency. "
"What do you want me to do?"
"Lead our people to the surface and establish a settlement. We can no longer live in mines for such a long time. Poor living conditions will bring diseases to us. ”
“But”
Old Butch was very hesitant.
It would be great if you could live on the surface. Some people choose who wants to live in the mine. Previously, the Wasted Dong Society had plans to develop on the surface. They had a camp on the surface.
Then, the dozens of people who were captured were also beaten by the prisoners. Captured from the camp.
The surface is too dangerous and cannot be defended with the capabilities of the Wasted Dong Society.
“I know what you are worried about. "Patel said, "But we have the power to protect ourselves. The Governor will leave a hundred servitor soldiers here to take charge of security work. At the same time, a hundred sets of soldier equipment will be delivered, and people from the Wastedong Society will be selected to arm a company."
Now Old Butch was surprised.
He felt that the Governor was here I was deceiving people, but I didn’t expect that I could do one thing right away.
No, it should be two things.
Arm the soldiers of the Wastedong Society. They can protect themselves, which is one thing; building houses on the surface and improving living conditions is another thing.
The change will be immediate.
In this matter, Old Butch had no way to shirk
But what he was curious about was another point: "If you want me to help build the surface camp, what will you do yourself?"
It will never be from the army. Training. The governor will definitely send someone to take charge of this matter, not to mention the military power. Even if the Feidong Society does it themselves, no one will be able to do it.
"I" Pa. Terr smiled mysteriously and stopped talking, "I want to build our own production line. New mining machines will be delivered, as well as alloy smelting furnaces. The Governor not only wants to help us improve the efficiency of mineral excavation, but also directly establish a production line for the production of alloy plastic steel."
Hearing this, Old Butch was truly surprised and speechless.
Building an army and returning to the surface to live are all good, but to put it bluntly, they are all based on the waste of the cave society.How can we afford a decent army without having to rely on blood transfusions from the Governor?
This is the core reason for Old Butch’s pessimistic attitude. If the Feidong Society wants to live a good life, it must have sufficient value. OK. He never expects others to give unlimited and free blood transfusions to the Wastedong Society. This is impossible.
Even if it is to win people's hearts for a moment, it is for the greater benefit. Whether it's to gain fame by erecting an archway, or there's a darker plan, it's not a good thing.
But now, he knows that he was wrong, very wrong.
It is true that Gu Hang will not give blood to the Feidong Society without restriction and free of charge. He does have demands for the Feidong Society. However, what he needs is something that the Feidong Society can't afford right now.
But it doesn’t matter, Gu Hang can help the Wasted Dong Society develop. When their productivity increases and their own value increases, they can afford to pay the price Gu Hang wants.
Of course, by that time, the debt owed by the Feidong Society to Gu Hang may be far more than just a life-saving favor.
But Old Butch enjoyed it very much.
This kind of opportunity is what he dreams of.
He was completely stunned, and his previous worries were long forgotten. "When will we start doing it?"
Patel asked teasingly, "You said before, yes. "It's a misfortune, but you're talking about losing your freedom."
Old Butch blushed and said harshly, "You brat, you know nothing about our freedom. Someone got the equipment from the Governor." Is it valuable?"
"Hahahahaha" Seeing the uncle's 180-degree change in attitude, Patel also laughed out loud.
This is not to laugh at the old uncle, but to be happy for the future destiny of all of them. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
