Chapter 46 - 43 Human’s First Civilization Branch Choice

In fact, the various levels of leadership in the Yunhai City government had seriously discussed that if all houses were nationalized, many troubles would be saved.

The loopholes were indeed too large, and just on this issue alone, it would take months to resolve.

Therefore, a compromise had to be made, allowing one household to retain one owner-occupied house. This portion of private property was protected.

"Comrades, we are in a new era, and we must transform our views,"

"The world is no longer the world it used to be! We are no longer on Earth!"

"You should also understand, there are people now without homes, and we must provide them with support!"

However, they couldn’t manage too much now, as stabilizing society was the most critical issue.

Tenants living in collectively owned houses didn’t have to worry about being evicted, which could effectively establish a sense of security.

Yunhai City had a large influx of migrants, most of whom were physically strong young people, and their emotions had to be stabilized before discussing the future.

As for the landlords, after all, they still had a large house of their own to live in, so they could barely accept it...

As long as there was a place to live, the young people’s emotions were relatively stable. They could live indefinitely in their rental houses without paying rent. Even if the space was a bit smaller, it was acceptable.

Li Chunhong saw that dark and gloomy crowd, all staring at him, and couldn’t help feeling nervous.

These ten million people represented the First Branch of the Great Xia Civilization.

This moment might determine the fate of the Great Xia Civilization!

After a long while, seeing that the mood of the crowd was relatively stable, he once again loudly proclaimed through the speakers.

"Comrades, all larger-scale supermarkets and granaries have been compulsorily controlled by the government!"

"Some criminals have also been arrested, awaiting legal punishment!"

"The network communication is rapidly recovering now. If you have any particular issues, you can call the mayor’s hotline! The police have also resumed their duties."

"Regarding food issues, please, with your ID card, go to major communities to collect a week’s ration... Although it might not taste great, we will make sure everyone has enough to eat!"

"There’s a certain reserve of baby formula and diapers. Parents can obtain some supplies by presenting their child’s birth certificate."

"We have a year’s worth of food reserves and have no immediate worries, but looking long-term, it’s crucial to become self-sufficient and quickly resume production to survive!"

"We call on everyone to plant some vegetables on balconies and other places to add variety to our food sources."

Li Chunhong paused slightly: "Everyone must understand, this is the time to demonstrate the national character of our Great Xia Civilization. We have no other choice but to rely on ourselves. There will be no external assistance. We must rely on our own resources!"

"If society descends into great chaos, all that awaits us is extinction!"

"Our troops will always protect the rights of the people! They are also our strong support!"

A military officer shouted, "Everyone, attention! Stand at attention! Salute!"

Whirr!

A row of soldiers neatly formed into ranks.

"Everyone, distribute food to the masses of the people!"

"United in spirit, we will overcome difficulties together!" The soldiers saluted the crowd, shouting in unison.

Following that, they started to distribute supplies to the masses from the large trucks.

After this series of measures, most of the people were somewhat satisfied.

At least, housing and food, the two most critical things, were now safeguarded.

Moreover, the image of the soldiers was relatively positive in front of the people of the Great Dong Country; hardly anyone took the opportunity to make trouble.

For a while, long lines formed in the square as the people collected their supplies and headed home.

Li Chunhong took a deep breath, feeling a heavy weight temporarily lifted from his heart.

He heard a few young staff members murmuring, "I wonder how the other cities are doing, whether they have stabilized yet or not..."

"They’re probably in the midst of gunfights, zero yuan purchases, ha!"

"I always feel, our city’s population is comparatively sensible."

"Other cities probably can’t stabilize as quickly as we did..."

"Isn’t that the truth?"

Enjoying the misfortune of others might be a human nature.

Thinking of other cities, like New York City, where zero yuan purchase events were erupting, Li Chunhong’s mood inexplicably improved a lot.

This was indeed a competition of civilizations; each city had different fundamentals, and necessarily, the policies implemented would also differ.

Could other cities achieve what Yunhai City could?

Li Chunhong smiled and said, "Comrades, do not relax, we still have much work ahead."

"Our Yunhai City is only temporarily stable; most people are confined to their homes with no outlet for their skills."

"We must quickly provide more job opportunities and get people into positions."

"We also need to design a new currency system to quickly revive economic operations."

"Talking about ideals and contributions might work in the short term, but it can’t last forever... after all, we have passed the age when we had nothing to lose..."

Everyone sighed.

Today’s youth are very shrewd!

A culture of aggressiveness? That can exist, but you have to feed the wolves!

As for the culture of negotiating over drinks, today you’ll see how I straighten out the workplace!

Young people are willing and enthusiastic about making temporary contributions.

But if everyone is just eating from the same big pot, this enthusiasm will eventually extinguish.

So a qualified, economically viable system that allows capable people to live better lives, effectively encourages productivity.

"Has city communication recovered?"

"Except for some remote corners, most areas are now online."

"And electricity?"

"Basic power supply is arranged, enough for everyone to charge their phones and the like."

"Well, being able to charge phones is temporarily sufficient."
