Seven days later, reconstruction work began on the lower three floors of the tower.
A real reconstruction.
Originally in the "cake-sharing meeting", including the Xie family, the earliest idea was to focus on rebuilding the third layer and maintain the existing "civilization" growth.
That is to say, the bottom layer belongs to the wilderness civilization, the second layer civilization probably belongs to the tribal civilization, and the third layer is the modern urban civilization.
However, due to the intervention of white fog, the reconstruction of the lower three floors has also undergone subtle changes.
There are many materials needed in the tower, and everything needs to be rebuilt. It is very difficult to obtain these materials, and it requires a long exploration.
So the question is, what should be done with the living people on the lower three levels
The next day, the Zhong family arranged someone to come and inquire.
Without Zhong Xu, the Zhong family is now a fat sheep.
The fat sheep was very nervous. Not long ago, there was a fight within the family, and eventually a new leader was born in the bloodbath. The current leader of the Zhong family is called Zhong Jun.
In fact, the Zhong family has no real descendants of Zhong Xu. Zhong Xu's son became Zhong Xu's housekeeper, and his daughter became his guardian.
There were descendants later, but in the eyes of Zhong Xu, an "absolutely free man", there were no taboos in the world, women could enjoy anything, and what I gave birth to belong to me.
But in order to manage the Zhong family, he still recruited a group of people from the lower three levels, and Zhong Jun was one of them.
His original name was Chen Jun, but because he married into the Zhong family, he was called Zhong Jun.
When Bai Wu saw this person, the note in his eyes mentioned:
He actually didn't want to change his name, but in order to support his family, he finally changed it to Zhong Jun. He is a person with good abilities. Although he watched the Zhong family do evil, in such an environment, you don't think there are still people who want to uphold justice, right
Zhong Jun found Bai Wu to find out if the Zhong family could do anything for the tower.
Bai Wu found out the purpose of the visit and found that this person was very smart:
"What was your name before?"
"Sir... why do you know I have another name?"
"Just answer me. I know the Zhong family better."
"Chen Jun."
"From now on, you will be called Chen Jun again, and the Zhong family will be changed to the Chen family."
Chen Junmu stood there and suddenly forgot what he was here to do.
"As for the Chen family, I will give it to the Xie family. You are helping Old Xie. All you need to do next is to help him do one thing."
"You said, I will never refuse even if I die."
Violence and huge profits did not make Chen Jun say the words "I will never give up" to Zhong Xu. When Chen Jun said it, he felt a little strange.
Although this was just a word to express loyalty, he always felt that Bai Wu gave him something that he didn't have when he was in the Zhong family.
The people of the Zhong family... In Zhong Xue's eyes, they were all props to provide entertainment for her father.
Bai Wu didn't know that Chen Jun had so many thoughts, so he said normally:
"Currently, the people on the lower three floors have no place to live. The bottom, second and third floors are all in ruins. More than half of these people are dead or injured. It is difficult to deal with the bodies. Even if they are transported outside the tower, some traces left behind are difficult to remove. People need a clean place."
Chen Jun nodded, thinking it made sense:
"I see. Do you want us to find a place outside the tower?"
"No." Bai Wu smiled.
"I need you to distribute the people who are still alive on the lower three floors to the fourth floor in a reasonable manner."
Chen Jun was shocked:
"How can they go..."
Bai Wu frowned, and Chen Jun immediately panicked:
"This... there is no precedent. The fourth floor is basically the core industries of various managers. How can people live there?"
Chen Jun didn't really have the concept of being a servant, or rather, deep down he hoped that human beings would not be divided into upper, middle, or lower classes.
But this is a high tower, and the people living here are clearly divided into different levels: poor, commoners, sub-nobles, nobles, and management.
The people on the lower three floors had no place to live, and the first thing he thought of was not to ask the people on the upper two floors to vacate their homes, but to let the people on the lower three floors solve their own housing problems outside the tower.
Bai Wu did not blame him:
“The fifth and fourth layers are far superior to the lower layers in terms of energy and food storage. Human civilization has a very interesting phenomenon.
When the classes appear, it is inevitable that the lower class has the largest number and the greatest needs, but the least materials are allocated, while the upper class obviously has the least needs, but the most materials are allocated. "
Someone, as the richest man, lamented in a Versailles tone that the thing he hated most in his life was money.
But what he "hates" is exactly what most people don't have.
If you hate money, why don't you give it away? Don't just talk about it, don't do anything about it.
This seems impossible to do, and everyone is in their right mind. Who would want to share the cake? It's better to leave it to rot, hold your nose to endure the stench, and watch people drooling.
So Chen Jun was very confused. Was there really someone who wanted to share the cake
This suspicion was soon confirmed, and Chen Jun became more and more surprised.
Bai Wu then began to assign various tasks to Chen Jun.
The first thing is to count the original population of each level of the three lower layers, that is, which ones are nobles and which ones are non-nobles.
Then they arranged uniform clothing and accommodation, forcing nobles and non-nobles to live together.
After these policies were issued, Chen Jun said:
"Isn't this... not good? These young masters are probably unwilling to endure living with the lower class... How about letting the poor live with the poor, and the rich live with the rich?"
Bai Wu said:
"Humans have many advantages, the greatest of which is that they can adapt to and accept each other mentally. Although there is no true understanding between people, in the past seven hundred years, there has never been such a moment in the tower where everyone can empathize with each other."
"If poor people are together, they may still not be able to change the despicable idea of the distinction between noble and humble people. If rich people are together, they will probably still plot how to enslave the poor in other areas."
"Of course, there are conflicts between them, but this riot has already vented all the anger under the oppression for seven hundred years. Anything else is just a minor conflict. Especially, they need to stay alive."
“Time will smooth out everything. The poor will be grateful for their current environment, and the rich will understand from the huge gap that things have changed.”
Chen Jun suddenly asked:
"Isn't this unfair? There are also many rich people whose money... is obtained legally and reasonably. Why should they share resources with the lower class? I think your idea... will offend people. You are the boss now. After an incident, your workers can suddenly be on an equal footing with you... Can they accept this gap?"
"It's indeed unfair, but when a tumor is removed, there will always be blood. Have you ever thought about what the situation is now?" Bai Wu asked gently.
Chen Jun shook his head.
"The people in the lower three levels, whether they are poor or rich, are in a state of having nothing. In the eyes of the rich, the poor have lost their shabby tents, while they have lost their magnificent palaces. If the people above compensate me, shouldn't they compensate me more?"
"Yeah... shouldn't we?"
"But the current situation is like everyone being stranded on a desert island. Some people have lost their families, some have not lost anything, and some have lost a business empire. Do you think that people will give you more resources because you have lost more? Do you think that people will look up to you because you are a big boss?"
"It seems... not possible?"
"Yes, so under the current system, we can only make choices for the reconstruction work of the lower three levels. Whoever contributes the most in this reconstruction will get more rewards. Whoever contributes a better reconstruction plan and whose skills can be used in this reconstruction will get more rewards."
"So... there will still be poor people and rich people..."
“Yes, perhaps in the distant future, those who have performed outstandingly in the reconstruction of the lower three levels will change from dragon slayers to evil dragons.
But society is a dead end with no solution. All humans can do is to continue to wither in the stagnant water and continue to bloom new flowers. "
Chen Jun was in awe, yet felt helpless.
It seems that this man has changed everything, but because of human nature, he is not optimistic about the future decades or hundreds of years from now...
But for now, this is indeed the optimal solution, a solution that eliminates all class conflicts.
"I see, sir, thank you very much for your words... I always feel that your ideas don't seem to come from this world."
"Chen Jun, huh? Cooperate with Old Xie, you have a bright future."
Who doesn’t like to be flattered? Bai Wu likes it too.
…
…
The reconstruction work on the lower three floors is in full swing, and there are indeed many problems here.
Among the people living on the fourth floor, the poor ones look at the rich with mocking eyes, and those who hate the rich are very happy, saying, you were so rich before, but now you still have to live with a poor guy like me.
But soon, the poor found that if they didn't work hard, they might still be poor.
Naturally, there are also rich people who complain about the unfairness of the top management. They work so hard for so long, but end up back in a place worse than their starting point. They find it hard to accept the reality.
There are many such examples, but human nature also has a good side.
Many rich people gradually realized the hardships of life during this process. They realized that the joys and sorrows of people were somewhat similar in this environment that had not appeared for 700 years.
Many poor people have also discovered that some wealthy masters are actually very easy to get along with. They don’t really hate the poor.
People's thoughts influence each other.
There are people who curse and complain about the system, and there are also people who face the injustice of fate calmly.
Regardless of who they are, the Tower has ushered in the most... peaceful era.
Not from a false peace under brutal rule.
It's more like people went back to seven hundred years ago, when there was nothing but a pile of materials for the tower, and then everyone started working hard to build it.
Perhaps seven hundred years from now, human beings will once again have superiors and inferiors. Perhaps by then the class division will be even more exaggerated.
But at least at this moment, this flower in the stagnant water is blooming.
…
…
The fifth floor of the tower. Yan Family Manor.
Xie Xingzhi, Bai Wu, Liu Chengzi and Ruan Qingyun are all here.
"Little brother, everyone is working hard and living on the fourth floor. You arranged me to live on the fifth floor. Will they be unhappy?"
"Actually, I don't mind where you live. I just feel bad for you, little brother. Will you be criticized?"
Liu Chengzi said in a coquettish voice.
The white mist mocked:
"Okay, then you can live on the fourth floor."
"Oh no, no, I was just joking."
"Don't play hard to get with me. Your tea can taste fresher, not so strong."
"Hmph, boring! How could Xiaojiu like a straight man like you?" Liu Chengzi found that all her methods were ineffective against Bai Wu.
Ruan Qingyun smiled and shook her head. Liu Chengzi was very interesting, and Bai Wu was also very interesting. It was even more interesting to see Bai Wu arguing with Liu Chengzi.
Bai Wu didn't care about other people's criticism. He treated his friends differently, and if the people below him accepted it, they would accept it. If they didn't, they would just endure it.
But thinking about Bai Wu leaving the tower, Ruan Qingyun suddenly thought of something bad...
"It's been three months... Is he..."
"Boss lady, stop talking nonsense." Bai Wu interrupted Ruan Qingyun with a smile.
"The captain is the best in the world, nothing will happen to him."
Bai Wu was actually worried himself.
But there was no point in worrying. He would not admit that the captain would die outside the tower anyway. Even if everyone in the world thought that Wujiu died outside the tower, as long as no one saw Wujiu's body, Bai Wu would believe that he must be alive.
This concern and almost irrational belief are not in conflict.
"You will stay here for the time being. I will have to leave the tower and find a place to stay."
"Where?"
"A cruise ship. I don't know if I can encounter one, but I will leave the tower frequently until I encounter one."
Bai Wu thought that waiting for Tang Jing to launch the divine descent was too passive.
The farmer and Jing Liu might have plans for the area outside the fog. Bai Wu also wanted to have a way to get outside the fog that he could control.
"Okay... I don't know what it is, but be careful." Ruan Qingyun said.
Bai Wu nodded:
"Don't be afraid, Madam Boss. The Captain will definitely come back. He is different from me. He has roots in his heart."
Liu Chengzi said:
"Brother, don't forget my things..."
"I won't forget. The situation outside the tower is very special now. The disappearance of regional restrictions will bring a lot of changes. I will also arrange for Li Zi to go to Baichuan City as soon as possible. Maybe you will see Li Zi soon."
"Really? Where's the little moon?" Liu Chengzi clenched his fists excitedly.
Bai Wu shook his head and did not hide anything:
"She's more complicated, but I promise you, I will bring her back to you."
"Okay! I believe you! I believe you!"
Bai Wu prepared to leave and go out of the tower again. If he was lucky, he might find the cruise ship. If he was unlucky, he would have to repeat it a few more times.
Everything in the tower has been arranged, and at this moment, we are saying goodbye to our old friends.
As for Lin Wurou, Yin Shuang and others, as high-level combat forces, they are participating in the reconstruction of the lower three levels.
"By the way, what about you? Why did you come to see me?" Bai Wu looked at Xie Xingzhi.
Xie Xingzhi was also stunned.
Yes, why was I looking for Bai Wu
When Xie Xingzhi heard that Bai Wu was leaving, he felt that he should help Bai Wu accomplish something, something that Bai Wu had been looking forward to for a long time.
He vaguely remembered that more than a month ago, he set a flag at a critical moment.
Oops... what was it? Why can't I remember it
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore.
"It's okay, I just came to see you... Well, have a good trip."
"Okay, Yan Zizai didn't even come to say goodbye to me, but you did. It seems I underestimated our friendship."
Bai Wu laughed and joked.
Xie Xingzhi swore that he wanted to do something, but when it came to the critical moment, he couldn't remember it.
In the end, he could only watch Bai Wu leave and head to the eastern square on the bottom floor. Although he couldn't remember what to do, Xie Xingzhi was looking forward to Bai Wu's exploration results.
The next time I see Bai Wu... maybe there will be something interesting again.
(Ahem, there is only one chapter today)
