C938 The Metamorphosis of the District 2 (1/2)

Wealth was something that once created a gap, it would quickly attract the attention of the poor in the surrounding area. They were all natives that had lived together for thousands of years, yet today, they were separated by just a willow tree's wall? It was obviously impossible.

The person outside the wall and the person inside it were only two hundred meters apart, but suddenly, they became two different worlds. The people inside the wall became upper-class people with golden rice bowls in their hands. They would be able to get a shiny silver coin every month even if it was the easiest way to clean the streets.

That was silver! It was already not bad for the destitute citizens of late Qing to have a little more than half a bunch of copper coins. When Black Eyed saw the shining white silver, the desire in everyone's heart immediately exploded, and the hearts of people also became unsettled.

”If others can earn money, why can't I? ”We're both from the same hometown, who wouldn't know who's on the other side of the river? If you can work, I can work too, let's go together …”

Very quickly, a vast wave of labourers appeared in the Tanggu City District. According to the old saying, anyone who had the strength to do so would have the strength to do it.

The Tanggu District was very large, but it could not satisfy the needs of all the poor people in the Tian Jin Prefecture. The large influx of labour force must have caused the originally high costs to decline, which resulted in the dissatisfaction of the people in the wall.

The citizens in the district were all angry to the point that their teeth were itching. They thought to themselves, ”We're living a good life and we even have a single silver coin on the streets. This is because we're going to destroy the market price by one-third.”

The conflict broke out all of a sudden. Originally a fellow villager of several hundred years, but under the influence of benefits, they quickly became two groups. One of them was the one sent from inside the wall while the other was from outside.

By the end of last year, there was even an gang fight. Soon, there were all kinds of capable fighters on both sides, and it looked like the gang was about to form.

In the beginning, the Special Administrative Region chose to suppress their opponents forcefully so that they could attack whoever appeared. However, after a long period of time, they discovered that it was useless because the core contradiction was the limited number of jobs and too many people needed to complete the task. This problem could not be solved within a short period of time.

Xiao Letian was not a living Lei Feng, not in his entire life, not in his previous life either. In a situation where he was unable to settle the issue of employment within a short period of time, he could only choose to protect the interests of the citizens within the willow tree wall first, because he needed the hearts of the citizens of the entire special administrative region, because in the future, this area would become a hybrid zone between a military, industrial area, and a commercial area.

From that day on, the walls of the willow tree began to be tied up by long barbed wire, and the river outside continued to deepen. The communication between the outer and outer regions of the Special Administrative Region could no longer be as casual as it used to be.

People who owned the inner residence of the Special Administrative Region would be less restricted, while people outside the Willow Wall would have to fight for a limited number of temporary employment permits. A side wall of the Willow had finally created two completely different worlds, one of which was heaven and the other hell.

This was not all that contradictory. The people around the willow tree wall could more or less benefit from the Special Zone. Many people could not directly work, but they could still enjoy the benefits of the Special Zone through trade, such as breeding.

People in the special administrative region had high incomes and high requirements for food and drinks. When they found the opportunity, they would start to develop their breeding business. Pigs, cows, sheep, and other animals were all provided by the special administrative region.
