Chapter 437: Useless Effort
At dawn the next day, it was on top of the city government building in Panyan City.
Song Shi sat cross-legged on the rooftop, overlooking the city below.
Compared with yesterday, Panshi City today has not changed at all.
The only thing that was different from the past was that the vehicle parking lot next to the city hall was extremely crowded.
"Useless effort"
Song Shi chewed on this word and raised his eyes slightly.
Those rusty reds are like the city’s bloodline, crawling through the weeds of abandoned factories, winding their way into potholed streets, floating with alcohol and addictive substances, like an unstoppable wave, slow and It forcefully engulfs every corner of the city, and even the wind carries a lingering smell of dilapidation.
And a slightly stronger smell of blood.
Song Shi didn’t even look back, and suddenly said: “What do you think of this statement?”
Anthony, who had just climbed over the wall, pulled his suit and tie after hearing this and stopped three meters away.
A whole night of intensive attendance and government affairs failed to show the slightest trace of fatigue on the man's face, which remained as grim as ever.
"Your Excellency, what aspect do you want me to answer?"
"Well, tell me everything."
"Yes." Anthony did not hesitate, as if he had already I have prepared a draft: "If you are referring to the operation of governance, you have been very successful. Under the actions of you and Lord Lapis Lazuli, so far, the Lorati and Moore families and their affiliated forces have collapsed, or have taken the initiative. Surrender.”
"All the primary relevant persons involved in major cases involving Panyan City in recent years, including but not limited to excessive corruption, serial murders, etc., have been captured, and the processing of sub-level cases and personnel is also progressing in an orderly manner. The investigation of the persons involved in the case has been completed. The property under our name will be handed over by our designated personnel under supervision."
"The vacant functional positions have indeed caused a certain degree of confusion, but this is temporary and awaits the follow-up. The problem can be solved by adding more people."
Song Shi knocked on the porcelain tiles on the rooftop, and like a theater troupe setting off a fire ring, the entire surface of the rooftop instantly lit up with red-gold flames, giving it a new look.
"What about the other side?"
"This is not something you need to solve." Anthony faced the flames and approached the rooftop so that he could also overlook the city: " As I said last night, I arrived in Panyan City three days before you.”
"While waiting for your arrival, I checked the files of the natural resources, business management, and urban construction planning departments in the past ten years, and conducted on-site visits. What I must tell you is that, unfortunately, the economic status of Panshi City is... I’m afraid it’s irreversible.”
No need to report with a manuscript.
With the enhancement of brain-computer interfaces, micro-supercomputers, information integration modules and other prosthetics, as well as his past government experience in the Ministry of Justice, Anthony answered extremely fluently.
“During the Seven-Turn War, several mineral veins were discovered in the suburbs of Panyan City. In addition, the location was relatively safe at that time. As a result, it received a lot of support including but not limited to policy bills, and built a transportation network extending in all directions. Promote the development of the secondary industry. "
"But now, Panyan City's geographical location no longer holds an advantage, and only the last of those mineral veins has not been completely exhausted, resulting in the relocation of a large number of factories and serious population loss. This has resulted in high unemployment and crime rates, domestic violence and separation, the proliferation of addictions, and political corruption.”
Anthony paused here for a moment: "Your Excellency, what I must say is that you have done enough, and the above phenomenon will inevitably be alleviated to a certain extent. Please do not hold the idea of 'complete improvement' to patrol the border. The supervisory authority allocates resources from other places to Panyan City. "
"This will become an additional burden for Ye Nan." The man considered his words: "A wasteful move."
"Is this a reminder?" Song Shi turned 180 degrees and laughed.
Facing the other party's gaze, Anthony's expression remained unchanged: "This is a suggestion."
"In fact, there is no need for suggestions——"
Song Shi stood up and stepped on the edge of the rooftop: "I'm pretty good at this." Anthony said, "This is not your problem."
Song Shi was stunned. He seemed to be amused: "Don't do this kind of relief next time. I just sigh."
"As you wish." Anthony pressed his heart with his right hand.
A slight sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the distance, and suddenly, a shadow flew from the distant sky to the top of the city government building.
lapis lazuli.
"The field operation has been completed."
"How many have been killed?" Song Shi asked with concern.
"Suppressed four and killed two."
"That's not bad."
Song Shi said "Oh——" and motioned Lapis Lazuli to sit wherever he wanted.
Under the authority of patrol supervision, nothing in Panyan City dared to stop him - "Mendan Loradi" last night was definitely not planning a fight to the death.
"Use part of the assets received from the Lorati and Moore families to subsidize the field staff of the Security Bureau." Song Shi pondered and made a decision: "Let them divide into three shifts during this period. We will patrol Panyan City day and night, and kill all those who think they are ready to take advantage of the chaos, or who have already done so."
"Then we will go to the next stop."
".The schedule is so tight?" Lapis Lazuli seemed a little surprised.
"There is no point in staying any longer." Song Shi jumped off the rooftop and sighed: "The ones who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be replaced have been replaced. For the rest, I can't create a lot of jobs here out of thin air."
"And after all, the situation is not so bad that everyone is outraged." Song Shi pressed the roof and extinguished all the ignited flames: "Don't you think so?"
Lapis Lazuli did not answer or refute, obviously acquiescing.
Even for families like Lorati and Moore who have been rooted in Panyan City for decades, except for a very few people who enjoy immunity such as "Mendan Lorati", most of the family members are also Don't dare to kill someone in the street. That's not legally allowed and you'll die.
It will not be like the Eastern Land Republic, where you only need to pay a small fine and it will be fine.
Of course, as for finding a scapegoat after committing a murder in private and exchanging benefits with the top brass of the Security Bureau to cover it up, that is another matter.
The relocation of factories in Panshi City has caused a large number of local people to lose their jobs. However, even if the economic compensation for dismissal can only be called meager after being deducted at all levels, it is still a real amount of money after all. .
It will not be like those companies in the enterprise alliance, where labor agreements are calculated and calculated. When you are finally kicked out of the office, you find that you still owe the company money and need a loan to repay the favor.
Lapis Lazuli understands this.
Panyan City's finances are tight and the economy is depressed, so the salaries of public employees are not high and are often in arrears. This is one of the reasons why the Lorati and Moore families are extremely successful in political corruption.
Perhaps this new group of people who have been supported now will work hand in hand with the next "Lorati" and the next "Moir" in the future to create Panyan's glory.
But at least for now, everything is new.
That's enough.
