Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 307 A New Beginning

"Shutdown!"

"Order to stop working immediately!"

Chai An replaced Qi Lang, went to the construction site, found the temporary person in charge, and asked them to stop working.

Construction under such heavy rain violated the safety regulations of Coral City.

Now that such a big event has happened, there are still dozens of corpses in the ruins that have not been dug up, and the matter in the cathedral on the other side has not been completely resolved.

If you don't solve it for a day, you won't start work for a day. This is the due explanation for the deceased.

After receiving the order, the rumble of machinery on the ruins gradually died down, and the workers also left one after another, leaving only the sound of rain all over the sky.

In the cathedral, Qi Lang sat on a stool in embarrassment, holding the list in his hand, facing the families of the countless dead, coughed twice, and comforted: "This time... it's our fault, I didn't make it Discover the situation here in time..."

The crying in the church was still there, and someone shouted sadly: "My lord, you have to be the master for us!"

Sweat dripped from Qi Lang's forehead, and he immediately replied: "Yes, yes...don't worry..."

He wiped his sweat and looked in the direction of the church door, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Why hasn't Chai An come back?

Asking him to face these sad and angry poor people alone, with Su Yaoshi watching beside him, Qi Lang only felt uncomfortable.

He is still more used to sitting in a clean and warm office, reading the summary reports submitted by the people below, rather than directly facing these tedious and complicated issues.

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

Right now, Qi Lang was a little at a loss when he heard everyone's request, and didn't know where to start.

Should these people be given lawyers immediately?

Or arrest the bad team headed by Wang Hong first?
Or distribute some relief food first?

When should the people still buried in the ruins be dealt with?
And so on, all kinds of questions flashed through his mind and became a mess, making him almost flustered.

Fortunately, he took Chai An out this time. If he had to face the whole process alone, he might collapse on the spot and find an excuse to run away.

"Master Su, say something."

Qi Lang swallowed his saliva, his fingers holding the list of the dead were almost turning white, and he cast a look of help to Su Xia who was beside him.

Su Xia nodded slightly, and said softly: "My lord, the key to solving the problem is not on your side, but on the side of the deceased's family. First solve their primary needs, and other problems can come later."

"Oh yes, yes!"

Suddenly, Qi Lang's mind became clear.

What was the use of asking so many questions?
In case the family members of the deceased are dissatisfied, these people will continue to make trouble.

All these family members shouted for Qi Lang to be the master just now, which made Qi Lang a little confused for a moment, he didn't know what to be the master of.

Just throw the question to the family members of the deceased, let them form a team, elect representatives, put forward specific needs, and then slowly communicate with their own team...

"Master Su is worthy of being a person that Master Yu Tuo values, is he willing to come to the city to take up a position?" Qi Lang asked in a low voice.

He thought that having Chai An would solve most of his problems, and if Su Xia was willing to help him again, then he would be able to be the hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind in the future.

Of course, the premise is that Su Xia will not take away his position as city lord.

Su Xia shook her head and replied to Qi Lang: "Did you forget, my lord, I already have a job in the city."

"Oh, the one from the intelligence service?"

Qi Lang remembered, and said immediately: "Master Su, you are absent from work every day."

"I don't like getting involved in politics very much, I hope the city lord understands."

"Understood, of course I understand." Qi Lang nodded again and again, "With Wu Zhonggui's personality, he probably won't get along with Master Su. I heard there is some friction between you two?"

"Well, it's not a big problem."

"That's how it is. I will solve the problem of absenteeism for Master Su in the future."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord."

"No thanks, it should be." Qi Lang laughed dryly, he has the highest authority in the employee system and can change the status of any employee, which is just a trivial matter for him.

And Su Xia's attitude also confirmed what Chai An said to him before.

Talented pharmacists like this are often eccentric and only have medicine in their hearts, so it is impossible for them to stay in the department for a long time.

Not long after, Chai An also came back and informed the construction site of the news.

"My lord, it's safe there."

With the help of this assistant, Qi Lang relaxed a lot.

Afterwards, Chai An began to arrange follow-up affairs in an orderly manner, and his work was meticulous and serious, which was many times better than the city lord Qi Lang.

If this person becomes the city lord, Coral City may be on the right path.

During the period, Su Xia asked Qi Lang: "My lord, why do you have to bulldoze the houses of these poor people?"

Qi Lang was taken aback: "What does Master Su mean?"

"I see that there are still a lot of vacant land in the city, such as the huge ruins in the south of the city." Su Xia slowly described, "That area is uninhabited and overgrown with grass, which is the perfect location for the reconstruction project."

"This……"

Qi Lang looked distressed, and said in a low voice: "Master Su doesn't know something, the ruins belong to the owner."

"Who bought it?"

"Qin Fan, a wealthy businessman."

"Oh?"

Su Xia heard about it a little, and asked, "Is it the biggest grain merchant in the city?"

Qi Lang nodded: "Yes."

"When did he buy that land?"

"Just after the war ended." Qi Lang explained: "At that time, the price of land was very cheap. Many idle land in the city were bought by private individuals, and a large amount of land in the suburbs was also bought."

"Where are the aborigines in the ruins?" Su Xia asked.

"After so many years of fighting, every city has been destroyed, and there are refugees everywhere. How can there be any aborigines? Now more than half of the residents in the cities are from other places."

"Why not let the merchants who bought the land develop their own? It would be good to grow some food."

"I also urged them on this matter."

Qi Lang's tone was full of helplessness, and he continued to explain: "But they don't want to, they would rather keep the land idle."

"why?"

"Master Su...you also understand that once there are too many things like food, they are worthless."

"Oh."

Of course Su Xia understood. He thought there could be other reasons before, but now it seems that there is no more.

In the future, if it is his turn to start liquidation, he will not have any psychological pressure, and he will kill all that should be killed.

After a while, Su Xia thought about it, and asked again: "Can I get hold of these businessmen?"

"Of course, there are plenty of excuses." Qi Lang nodded, "I know what Master Su means, but... What Master Su doesn't know is that they also have excuses in their hands. I can't blackmail them with excuses. Check and balance, maintain a balance."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I will be my city lord, they earn their money, and when necessary, they will support me with money."

Sitting in this position for so many years, Qi Lang's hands are of course not clean, and there are countless grievances.

Once it breaks out, Su Xia doesn't need to do anything, the anger of the city's civilians will consume him.

The city can only remain as it is now.

If any place is moved, it will affect the whole body, leading to the complete collapse of the existing order.

At that time, they are afraid that the machine clan will be drawn out, and there will be another purge, which is something no one wants to see.

"Have you ever thought about taking those things back slowly?" Su Xia asked him.

"How?" Qi Lang asked.

"Win a group and suppress a group."

"This... is easier said than done."

Qi Lang waved his hand, he didn't have such courage.

Su Xia said: "Energy, food, medical care and public transportation, etc., these must be taken back, otherwise you, the city lord, will always be on stage like a puppet, making others laugh."

Hearing this, Chai An beside him had a look of surprise in his eyes.

He put down what he was doing, took a serious look at Su Xia, nodded in agreement and said, "Su Yaoshi is right, I have mentioned this to the City Lord before."

"The results of it?"

"Of course the lord of the city is unwilling." Chai An glanced at Qi Lang.

Qi Lang spread his hands and said, "I haven't lived enough yet. If it really makes such trouble, you will see the news that I was assassinated the next day."

"Oh? The City Lord is afraid of this?" Su Xia asked.

"Of course, who in this world is not afraid of death?" Qi Lang admitted frankly, "Before me, the previous city lord did this, but before he had time to take back what you said, he went out in a convertible car one day. , was shot in the head."

"..."

After a brief exchange, Su Xia stopped bringing up such topics.

Don't spare yourself when you do great things, otherwise you will never succeed.

After all, Qi Lang is serving the rich people in this city, asking him to change something is tantamount to telling him to die, he is not born to do big things.

"These orphans, what is the Lord City Master going to do?"

"Send it to a children's orphanage." Qi Lang said: "I will allocate a sum of money to orphanages all over the city, let those wealthy businessmen make a show by the way, and find a few media to interview, and ask all parties to donate …try to ensure that these orphans survive to adulthood.”

"can."

This is the only way for now.

Su Xia moved her eyes and looked at Zhao Xiaobai in the corner of the church.

The child also heard their exchange and learned that he was going to a place called a children's welfare home. He touched his tears, his eyes were still red and swollen, and looked at his mother's body sadly, tightly holding his mother's cold hand.

He didn't want to go to that strange place, and he didn't want to leave.

After leaving, maybe I will never see my mother again.

Su Xia walked over, squatted down, and said calmly: "There is an independent school in the orphanage, study hard in the future, at least learn to write and recognize characters."

"Uncle, I... I know how to write and read." Zhao Xiaobai's voice was choked up, and his voice was already hoarse.

"Learned before?"

"Well, there is an old grandfather who taught us."

"Where's the old man?"

"There... grandpa also..."

Zhao Xiaobai pointed to another corner sadly, his eyes were red, tears rolled down again, he was so sad that he couldn't stop sobbing.

In the corner was a bloodstained white cloth.

Su Xia looked over, and a series of character descriptions appeared in front of her eyes.

[He Qiubai: Teacher at Chengdong Primary School, sold his property after retirement, went deep into the slums to build a school, and taught the children of poor families in the slums for 20 years]

[Many students walked out of the slums with his help, and gave back to this barren area as adults, making this slum better and better]

After all, there are many kind-hearted people in this city, but it is a pity that the old man did not see the day when this area was completely improved.

Su Xia withdrew her gaze, sighed softly, and asked, "Aside from writing and recognizing, what else have you learned?"

"Mathematics, drawing, and singing..."

"Can you understand what's on this piece of paper?"

Su Xia took out a formula for the first-order potion and placed it in front of Zhao Xiaobai.

The formula records the various materials needed to refine this potion, the origin of the materials, the ratio of the materials, the time required, the steps, etc., not only written descriptions, but also sketched picture descriptions.

At this time, Qi Lang also came over curiously to have a look.

Just looking at the densely packed words and numbers on the formula, he felt dizzy for a while, and sat back again, thinking that pharmacists are monsters.

But Zhao Xiaobai nodded seriously and said, "I can understand a little bit."

Su Xia was relieved: "Okay, how about following me in the future?"

"Uncle, are you a pharmacist?"

"Ah."

"I, I thought...but..."

Zhao Xiaobai lowered his head, looked sad, and held his mother's hand tightly.

Su Xia said gently: "I will divide a cemetery area behind the pharmacist's school, and your mother will be buried there, and she will always accompany you to study and grow in the future."

"Thank you...thank you uncle..." Zhao Xiaobai's tears dripped down, his nose sobbed, and the tears wet the formula in front of him.

"You're welcome, I once had a promise."

Su Xia got up and looked outside the church. The rain outside gradually became less and more hazy.

After dealing with the matter here, it's time for him to deal with the Zero Bar.

At the tavern, Yi Yi kept asking him when he could recover Yi Mo and Shen Yu.

"My lord, there is still something to do at the store, so I'll go back first." Su Xia said to Qi Lang.

"Okay, Pharmacist Su, go slowly." Qi Lang immediately got up from the stool and sent Su Xia out of the cathedral.

But at this moment, Zhao Xiaobai suddenly pulled the corner of La Suxia's clothes.

Su Xia looked down at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Uncle, can you take them away together?" Zhao Xiaobai stepped back, and behind him, there were more than a dozen children with red and swollen eyes from crying, all of whom were orphaned in the accident.

Seeing this, Su Xia thought for a while and quickly agreed.

"Okay, from now on you will be my first batch of apprentices."

In this way, when Su Xia came here, she was alone, and when she returned, there were a group of children beside her.

Including Zhao Xiaobai, there were a total of 12 people, both male and female, aged between 5 and 13, all skinny and dark, and several of them were severely malnourished.

Qi Lang will handle all kinds of admission procedures for Su Xia.

The remains of these children's family members will also be transported to the vicinity of the school later.

For these children, their lives have ushered in a new beginning.

On the way back, Su Xia called Su Jianshe and changed the school construction plan: "Mr. Su, all the construction waste on the side of the school should be piled up in the back, as the back mountain of the school."

"Houshan?" Su Jianshe on the other side of the phone was stunned.

"Well, I want to bury some people."

"Understood, don't worry, Master Su."

Su Jianshe is capable and smart, so he immediately understood what Su Xia meant.

At the same time, the entrance of the cathedral.

Chai An looked at the direction where Su Xia was leaving, with a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

"strangeness."

"What's strange?" Qi Lang asked him.

"This Su Yaoshi is a little different from what I thought." Chai An replied.

"What kind of person do you think he is?"

"People like Wang Yongqiang."

"This……"

Qi Lang also looked outside the door, and said: "Wang Yongqiang really wants to be a bit of a jerk, but they are about the same, anyway, they are all selling their teachers for glory."

"No, this is where it gets weird."

Chai An explained: "I don't think this Su Yaoshi is like that kind of person."
