Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 782 The Tranquility Before the Storm
The winter in Victoria has warmed up again. Compared with the warming of the temperature, this warmth is more like being born from the hearts of the infected.

If the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce in the south is the candle of the infected in the snowy night, then the special operations department of the Supervision Office at this moment is the light of righteousness.

Affected by this turmoil, after the major factories in the north resumed work, they unanimously raised the wages of infected workers and investigated potential safety hazards in production.

Some types of work with a high risk factor also have special subsidies and personal insurance.

This is a good thing. Infected people don't just need to look for candles for warmth at night. During the day, they can also raise their heads and enjoy the warmth of the sun just like ordinary people.

Of course, Xia Feng was not blindly pleased with this achievement.

Capitalists will not feel comforted by the smiles of "slaves", because this smile is based on the premise of their loss of interests.

Ordinary people living in the comfort zone in the north are not happy with this change. For them, infected people are synonymous with danger.

As the standard of living of the infected improves, they lose the sense of security that comes from their sense of superiority.

The entire Victoria is peaceful on the surface, but Xia Feng is well aware of the psychological activities of every class.

But it doesn’t matter, the change of thinking requires a process. As long as you keep your footing during this critical period and establish sound laws and regulations, it’s like nailing a nail to completely nail this form, then people will slowly accept it.

Living security for infected people can increase their enthusiasm for work, because conflicts are lessened, and they are more willing to cooperate with official arrangements, such as codes of conduct, anti-spread treatment of corpses after death, various criminal acts caused by life oppression, and so on.

In this situation, Xia Feng felt that as long as he could contain all kinds of "accidents" in time and not take it lightly, then, in a maximum of two months, he would be able to comprehensively improve the status of the infected in this country.

Capewami was not really angry because of his "offending the superiors". As the inspector general of the empire, he also understood that Xia Feng was not targeting him, but "killing chickens to make an example of monkeys". He used this behavior to express a strict attitude.

Therefore, Xia Feng still received great support within the Supervisory Office.

Inside the office.

A knife holder was placed on Xia Feng's desk, and a shining golden knife lay on the knife holder.

This golden knife was the reward given by Princess Verin on behalf of the royal family after he won the swordsmanship competition.

With this golden knife symbolizing the authority of the royal family, all the high-ranking officials of the empire who came to visit and wanted to go through the back door swallowed the words that had been practiced countless times.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the office door.

Xia Feng raised his head from the documents on his desk.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a correspondent from the Oversight Office stood at the door.

"Director Xia, the Yuan Council has just issued a notice requesting you to attend the impromptu meeting held this afternoon."

Xia Feng looked at the time, it was almost noon now, and he still had a lot of investigation reports on hand that he hadn't read yet.

"Reply to Speaker Leffle for me, and tell me that I'm busy with work, so I won't be participating this time."

The correspondent continued with some embarrassment.

"The notice said, please be sure to attend this time, it is said to be important."

Xia Feng frowned.

"Bullshit, every time I say something important, it's not an excuse to convene. I'm really busy this time. You go out."

The correspondent did not mean to leave, but continued.

"The notice says that Chief Yarlin will also attend."

Xia Feng just lowered his head and paused the hand that was about to sign the investigation report. After a while, he replied in a deep voice.

"I see. I will attend the meeting in the afternoon on time."

"Okay, Director Xia, then I will take my leave."

As the Chief Executive of the Empire, Yarlin would not casually attend the regular meetings of the Yuan Council. For Yarlin, the discussion of talking about brown sugar is a waste of time.

Yaerlin's willingness to participate this time means that there are very important matters to be decided at the meeting.

It was already past noon after finishing the work at hand, Xia Feng didn't even eat lunch, and went directly to the Imperial Administration Building.

in the conference hall.

Because they came earlier, there were not too many people in the hall at this time. Of course, this meeting was held temporarily. Relatively, the number of people in the regular meeting would not be the same.

In other words, unless they are notified in advance, the nobles in the south will not be able to catch up anyway. The members of the Yuan Council who can be present today should be the nobles in the north.

After Xia Feng entered, he greeted several collegial officers as usual.

"Master Bida, Master Kuer, you are here so early."

However, neither of the two collegial officers showed enthusiasm as usual, they just replied perfunctorily, "Lord Xia Feng, please sit down", and ignored him.

Xia Feng didn't think much about it, it was all because the two old guys were delayed from taking a nap and they were not in a good mood.

Glancing in the conference hall, he quickly spotted Maren Legg.

Walking up to him and sitting down, Xia Feng tidied up his black uniform of the Supervision Office, and asked casually.

"Hey, what's going on today?"

Maren Leger is the son of Maren Leffler. As a family member of the House Speaker, he will definitely know about the arrangements for the meeting.

Xia Feng's tone was very relaxed, but Maren Legg's face was a little dignified.

"Xia Feng, today's topic may be a little troublesome for you."

"Oh? What trouble."

"I'm not sure what it is right now."

Xia Feng was a little puzzled.

"It's troublesome for me. Could it be that someone wants to withdraw me? What's the matter? If you don't want me to do it, I won't do it. I just go back to the south to retire."

His words were a joke, but Maren Legg did not cooperate, but continued to speak worriedly.

"As far as I know... the thing to discuss today is about the infected."

Xia Feng's face was startled.

"Infected?"

"Well, but what specific decision-making, I don't know."

Soon, more and more members of the Yuan Council rushed to the conference room, and the time for the meeting was approaching.

Xia Feng looked around, and as he expected, all the northern nobles came today,

After Speaker Ralph walked in, he was followed by a prominent person.

This person was wearing the same black uniform as Xia Feng, but the brim of the hat and the identity logo on the chest were the tallest in the entire Supervision Office.

Xia Feng didn't expect that Capewami also came!
As the patriarch of the Capet family, a first-level noble in the north, Capewami is naturally a collegial officer, but because of his position as inspector general, he rarely participates in regular meetings of the Yuan Council.

Obviously, this meeting is not just a discussion, but a decision, and this decision requires the cooperation of the Supervision Office.

At this moment, Xia Feng felt a faint uneasiness.

His rank is not low, he is the director of the Special Operations Division, if the issue is related to the infected, it is impossible for him not to notice in advance.

But now he doesn't know anything about today's meeting, so there are only two possibilities.

First, everyone concealed it from him.

Second, it was aimed at him at all.
