Chapter 619: Zhou and Kong’s Headache
Wang Fugui almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, how come his hard earned money was less than a fraction of Ren Xiaosu’s?
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that the business of the Northwest Merchant Road had to continue, so he could continue to depart after Old Wang and the others repaired for a period of time.
As for the matter of Wang Yuchi and the others continuing their education, Ren Xiaosu thought about it and felt that the Wang Clan, Zhou Clan, and Kong Clan barriers were not suitable, and the most suitable one was still the Qinghe University in Luocheng.
After Wang’s outburst this time, Zhou’s and Kong’s, even the Fire Seed Company and other small consortiums were affected, only the stragglers outside of Luo City were the least affected.
The stragglers in Luo City weren’t even too interested in this so-called barrier status.
Sending Wang Yuchi and the others to Green Harvest University, this matter had to be found with Qin Sheng, he asked Qin Sheng, “Green Harvest University’s enrollment, is it really open to everyone?”
“Of course,” Qin Sheng nodded his head and said, “What, Wang Yuchi and the others want to go to the university? But this is something I can’t make the decision, I can have the teacher arrange visas for them, but if they want to enter Qinghe University they have to take the exam, the spring enrollment will start soon, they didn’t go to the cram school outside the market town, so it might be a bit difficult for them to pass the exam.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at Wang Yuchi and the others, “Time is tight, do you guys think you can handle it?”
However, he saw Wang Yu Chi confidently smile, “We have never fallen behind in our studies, we don’t need to attend any cram schools. It’s just that Brother Xiaosu, we want to stay and help, we don’t want to go to college, even if we don’t go to college, we can still study on our own. And Uncle Fugui also needs help on his side, otherwise he can’t deal with the bandits alone.”
Ren Xiaosu smiled and persuaded, “Since you have this condition then go and continue your education, don’t worry about the bandits, just let Zhang Xiaoman send some people to escort you. Systematic learning is ultimately better than crossing the river by yourself by touching the stones.”
For learning, Ren Xiaosu has always been serious, he himself does not have the opportunity to go to the university to further his education, but Wang Yuchi and their good seedlings can not be wasted.
The big lulu on the side hurriedly laughed: “That’s right, the matter of bandits can let Zhang Xiaoman send people to escort Well, if it is not that those bandits are on Wang’s walled territory, we send soldiers to knock off the bandits can be …….”
In this way, Wang Fugui’s merchant fleet has 178 Fortress official troops escorting it, this becomes an official business ah, in the future there is still any unenlightened to mess with him.
With Wang Fugui’s ability, integrating the entire northwest commercial road is very possible ……
At this time, more and more stragglers entered the 61st Barrier, and some small media newspapers began to track these things, such as interviewing these new barrier residents, how do they feel? Did Wang make things difficult for everyone?
As a result, these refugees unanimously said that Wang’s is really too good, I never thought that they, the exiles, can really become barriers one day, and Wang’s work is much easier than the previous mines, they have already decided to settle down here and grow old for the rest of their lives.
Not only were they given jobs, they were also paid.
It was like buying a horse’s bones with a thousand dollars, these 20,000 stragglers who entered the barriers first were the horse’s bones that Wang had bought with a lot of money!
The Zhou Clan and the Kong Clan were also trying their best to keep the stragglers in their territory, but what kind of treatment could compare to becoming a walled man?
They also couldn’t use their troops to guard these stragglers every day and treat everyone like prisoners, could they? The conditions didn’t allow for that either!
Wang’s move instantly turned the damage around, turning a bad thing into a good thing!
Half a month passed, and the 61st market town began to bustle with activity, and Ren Xiaosu pondered that the population near the 61st ledge was now afraid to have exceeded the original number!
Of course, even Wang’s own factories were affected, but Wang had prepared for this early on, the first ones to arrive at Barrier 61 were actually stragglers from their own territory, at this point, Wang’s own factories were in a state of paralysis, but Wang didn’t refuse these people entry.
Immediately afterward, because of the rescue, a large number of troops and military vehicles were assembled at Barrier 61, and once the number of stragglers in the barrier reached a certain number, Barrier 61 stopped accepting new arrivals, and instead used military vehicles to transport the new arrivals to the various factories.
These newcomers were a bit frustrated when they learned that they couldn’t become barriers.
But Wang immediately promised them good treatment, not too much better, just a little better than Zhou and Kong.
So the stragglers thought to themselves, since they’re all here, and it’ll take another ten days and half a month to walk back, wouldn’t it be the same to work for whichever consortium they’re working for? And Wang’s gave higher wages.
The result is, Wang’s factory, the first to resume operation, while Zhou’s and Kong’s still paralyzed, these two consortia also want to improve the treatment of the displaced persons, but the displaced persons ran away ah, even if they improve the treatment of the displaced persons, the displaced persons will not come back from a long way.
They couldn’t go to Wang Clan’s territory to rob people, that would be going to war!
At this time, if they wanted to get these stragglers back, I’m afraid that the wage package would have to be raised by 40% to 50% compared to the past.
Ren Xiaosu didn’t pay any more attention to the subsequent operations between these consortia, he wasn’t too interested in this either.
It was just that these things, as if Wang had planned them long ago, made Ren Xiaosu think hard.
Previously, when Luo Lan said that he wanted to unite with other forces to deal with Wang, he still thought that it might be Luo Lan and Qing Zhen who were overthinking things, but now it seemed like Wang’s intentions were actually very clear, and Qing Zhen had again thought ahead of everyone else.
However, originally Ren Xiaosu thought that Wang would start a war very soon, but after this, Wang instead fell silent, and all of his energy was put back on the trade routes and production, completely ignoring the outside world’s comments.
During this time, Zhou Tao, a reporter from Hope Media, stayed in Barrier 61, and he followed the entire situation after the stragglers entered the barrier.
At first, he thought that the entire barrier would be thrown into chaos, after all, this 61st barrier was now filled with stragglers, these people didn’t know civilized etiquette and didn’t talk about any rules, and there should be a lot of stealing and robbing going on.
But Wang’s AI was also starting to take off at this time, some people had just finished robbing others, then turned a street and were taken away by Wang’s newly appointed Order Division staff.
Some people had just finished stealing, and then were immediately handcuffed.
The Artificial Intelligence was like an all-knowing and all-powerful god, regulating everyone’s behavior.
Previously, Zhou Tao did not have much of a concept of this AI until he had experienced the 61st Barrier’s transition from chaos to order, and then he had a deep understanding of the role of the AI in maintaining the stability of the barrier.
He suddenly felt that this Barrier 61 was more like a pilot and a showcase for the Wang Consortium, where they used practical examples to tell the world how strong the AI was in governing the barriers, and how down-to-earth the people were living.
