The waste recycling station in Times Square is developing at an astonishing speed. It is not an exaggeration to call it a day. With sufficient food and clean drinking water, the bodies of the lions and others quickly returned to normal and recovered. The work efficiency has soared. These people are not afraid of hardship, sweat, or even blood. For these hard-won food, everyone has put in a lot of effort.
From the third day onwards, Zhao Kangcheng's equipment and personnel arrived one after another to renovate the site, install equipment, and train personnel... Times Square, inside and out, was in full swing.
Soon, some simple equipment was put into use. On the fourth night, the first batch of decomposed scrap iron was shipped out. It was just because the scrapped cars couldn’t go to the other side of the wall, and they had to transfer cars in the middle, which delayed the time. One night Only took two trips.
Almost on the sixth day, all the equipment has basically been put into use, and the personnel who have undergone simple training have also started to work. Times Square is like a machine that has been silent for a long time. It is suddenly injected with gasoline and starts to run. The monkey has never rested and has been in the delivery state.
On the seventh day, another five scrapped cars purchased by Wu Tianhua on behalf of * arrived, including a large rear 12-wheel trailer, each of which was filled with food, and when the five cars arrived at Times Square, the entire square boiling over. Many people have never seen so much food and water in their lives, enough for bathing.
It was also on this day that the last batch of equipment was assembled and put into use. Zhao Kangcheng's men withdrew overnight. It was enough to make them stay in the slave camp for a week, especially if there were two women among them. If it wasn't for Zhao Kangcheng's five times salary, they would definitely not want to come. The only thing that can be tolerated is that the lions respect these people very much, almost treating them like bodhisattvas. Let them get a little satisfaction in their hearts.
From the eighth day onwards, Times Square officially recruited people. As soon as the news came out, slaves flocked nearby. It had long been reported that Times Square had been helped by nobles, who obtained inexhaustible food and a large amount of drinking water. They were already jealous, but because the incident of the lion destroying the Shar-Pei made them feel jealous, otherwise they would have rushed in.
On the first day, 100 people were recruited, and all of them were sent to dig garbage. One hundred catties was a copper coin, more work paid more. The hundred people who successfully applied for the job almost went crazy when they heard that one hundred catties was a copper coin. They rushed to the garbage mountain and started working. live without rest. Some lucky people found scrapped cars or motorcycles, dug out five or six hundred catties in a few hours, and got an energy tube. Such incidents quickly stimulated other people, especially a slave who dug out a container After switching to two steamed buns all at once, no one could calm down anymore.
Steamed buns, white steamed buns.
That night, five large trucks and a large trailer rumbled out of Times Square and drove towards the commercial street. When they came back, the hairy monkey whose car had been replaced by a large trailer had more than 50 more people in his hands. million copper plates. Seeing so many copper coins, more than a hundred big men including the lion cried. They had never seen so much money in their life, and it was just a night's income. However, they also know that this is the inventory dug out in the past seven or eight years. According to the current speed of shipments, the inventory will be used up in a week at most, and the income will definitely drop significantly by then. However, even so, everyone is very satisfied.
If it was in the past, even if you sold all the inventory, you might not be able to get 1% of the money. Everyone was extremely grateful to Liu Wei'an.
In the end, it was the lion who recovered from the excitement first, because he thought that the investment in these equipments, the 10 million copper coins, was all paid out by Liu Weian, and a heavy sense of responsibility rested on his shoulders.
Two hundred people were recruited the next day, because there were many people, and the conditions for recruiting were much stricter. Basically, they were picking people with a better reputation. It doesn’t matter if they are poor in health. It is very strict in recruiting people.
Yesterday's one hundred people basically earned about 10 copper coins when it was dark at night. For these slaves who had no income, 10 copper coins was already a high price, and everyone was proud to work in Times Square. In fact, honor is second, the key is income. People like them are not accepted outside, there is no factory inside, and they can only wait to die. Now a Times Square has finally appeared. The wider the news spreads, the more people will come. So far, if they are not selected today, they will wait for tomorrow. As long as Times Square still recruits people, they will not give up.
On the third day, 300 people were recruited, and then the speed slowed down. Their security team only had more than 100 people, and there were too many workers, so it would be bad if there were troubles. After a rigorous review, the lion absorbed almost fifty people into the security team, bringing the number of the security team to about two hundred.
That is, on this night, a force more than 50 kilometers away came to attack in the middle of the night, but unexpectedly, the two hundred security teams of the Lions had already prepared, with a crossbow and a few shotguns in hand, and launched a round of attack. Those who were shot were turned on their backs, most of them were killed or injured, and the rest were beaten to death while fleeing. In the dark night, there were still many who were accidentally injured by their companions. Up to forty people, there are more than a dozen wounded. Such a small number of people naturally couldn't hold the garbage mountain, and within a few days, they were wiped out by other forces.
This battle allowed the nearby Garbage Mountain to see the strength of the lions and others. At first, some small thoughts were born, but now they are suppressed. Also quiet, there are also nearby people waiting for candidates, who have not been selected for several days , naturally felt resentment in his heart, and after seeing the corpses all over the ground, the resentment disappeared instantly.
Times Square has entered the fast lane of development, earning hundreds of thousands of copper coins every day, and is thriving. However, there are many hidden problems. At the beginning, people didn't realize it, but as the number of people increased, some small problems were magnified. Residential issues, sanitation issues, and discipline issues were all resolved under the high pressure of the lion. Although the speed was relatively slow, they were all easy to solve. Now there are two most important issues, one is the lack of management personnel, and the other is Just no finances.
It’s good for slaves to be able to eat enough, and you don’t have to think about going to school. It’s rare for a few people to know a few words and write their own names. It’s considered a talent. Let these people do the bills, it’s better to let them dig the garbage. . Zhao Xin, who has been studying for less than two months, is better than them.
But if there is too much money, it won’t work if you don’t manage it. It’s okay to say three to five hundred coppers, and it can be counted. Today’s coppers have exceeded one million. Such a huge amount of money will cause big trouble if it is not handled properly. Report the problem to Liu Weian, but Liu Weian has no good solution. It's impossible to let him manage the finances, and he doesn't have the time. Things drag on like this.
On this day, Liu Wei'an got up early in the morning. The food at home had already been eaten. He was going to buy a batch of food and came back. As soon as he walked to the commercial street, he heard a commotion from the square. Dozens of buses were parked there. It turned out that another batch of slaves had been transported over. This kind of thing happens every once in a while, it's commonplace, Liu Weian was about to turn around and leave, but the moment he turned around, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar face.
It was a girl with messy long hair that hadn't been combed for an unknown period of time. Her figure was thin and her face was also thin because she hadn't eaten for an unknown period of time. Her eye sockets were sunken, her nose was very straight, her skin was pale, and her There is only a pair of blue eyes, only one pair of eyes is still bright, different from the fear, panic, fear, and blank gazes around, these eyes are full of monstrous hatred.
However, what Liu Wei'an noticed was not the eyes, but the face, which was very similar to a female classmate he had in the Earth Orphanage, both in face and body shape, especially the eyes and nose, at least There are octagons. This is Liu Weian's only good friend in the orphanage, and there may still be some unexplainable feelings in it, but at that time, he was young and didn't understand these things.
Soon, Liu Weian shook his head in disappointment, as if yes, but not after all. One is Earth and the other is Mars, so it can't be such a coincidence. After thinking about it, I walked up to the girl and said, regardless of the girl's surprise, "Tell me a reason and let me buy you."
Slaves have no human rights and can be bought at will. However, the object of purchase can only be the country. It is illegal to buy and sell privately. All slaves are recorded in the country's archives. There are so many slaves in the slave area, seemingly ownerless, but in fact they are all the property of the state.
To obtain a slave, you must buy it, and other methods are illegal. The state generally doesn't care about it, but if something happens and the state gets angry, a small matter like a slave can become a big problem. Most people don't care about this, especially the nobles, they have titles, but it's not Liu Wei'an, he is just a commoner who has just obtained his ID card, so it is safer to pay for unnecessary troubles in the future.
"I have an IQ of 180. Is this reason enough?" The girl was surprisingly calm, with no change in her eyes, neither excitement nor anxiety.
"You have such a high IQ, how could you—" Liu Weian didn't continue.
"Didn't Copernicus also be burned to death?" the girl replied indifferently.
"Okay, you are mine now." Liu Wei'an smiled, his temper was not small. Walking up to a burly man wearing the uniform of a prison guard, "How much is this man?"
The prison guard turned his head to look, and immediately, a strong bad breath came out of his mouth: "That girl's father is not simple, but she is a little uninterested. I'm cheap, 10 silver coins."
Liu Wei'an knew at a glance that the prison guards regarded him as a fat sheep. Any slaves who were dragged to this area were basically selected one by one. There are ten or a dozen copper plates, each with a good appearance, only seventy or eighty copper plates, and the sky is only one hundred copper plates. However, he did not counter-offer, and directly threw 10 copper coins out.
The prison guard was overjoyed. He was a little nervous at first. The high price quoted scared Liu Wei'an away, but he didn't expect that it was really a fat sheep. He found the girl's deed of prostitution as quickly as possible, stamped an official seal, and let Liu Wei'an Ann signed her own name in duplicate, and the transaction was considered complete.
Liu Wei'an took a glance and saw the girl's name: Fang Xiaoyuan, it's really fate, she has the same name as the little friend in the orphanage, but the surname is different.
