As a Girl, I Have to Be the Savior of Tomorrow's Ark

Say this word lightly, and at the same time put the long list in your hand on the table.

"Yes...you went there yesterday, which really surprised me."

Hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Chen Huijie couldn't help frowning, probably wondering if the other party sent someone to follow her before.

In fact, it can only be said that Chen Huijie was thinking too much. After all, as the dark side of Longmen, Shu Wang and his daughter have jurisdiction over some of the black coir raincoats, but the one who is really loyal to the black coir raincoats is Wei Yanwu, so these things are all under the control of the Lin family. The coir raincoat told him.

"What's so surprising about this?" Chen Huijie frowned, showing displeasure, as if she felt that the other party's words were a bit rude.

Seeing Chen Huijie's expression, Wei Yanwu grinned.

"Since you came back from Victoria more than a year ago, you have joined the Guard Bureau very quickly."

"As your... I still pay close attention to your work in the Guard Bureau."

"I often work overtime until late at night, and there are always piles of files on the work desk. Even during holidays, you will arrange your time reasonably and perfectly, and fully use it on your interests and personal hobbies."

"Such as watching movies, or gourmet food... But it is absolutely impossible to visit some slums."

Seeing Wei Yanwu boasting about his understanding of his life, the expression on Chen Huijie's face became more and more ugly.

The other party also felt that it was time to stop the fight, so he stopped the topic.

"Tell me, what exactly does that guy's daughter want you to ask me?"

Wei Yanwu took out the pipe from his body, took a deep puff, and said.

"I...although I only stayed in the slums for one afternoon." Chen Huijie took a deep breath and said slowly.

"But I still saw... a lot of bad things."

She looked up at Wei Yanwu, and asked in a doubtful tone:

"From Lin Yuxia, I know that the slums are indispensable for the current Longmen."

"But even so... we should be able to make the lives of the people there a little better, right?"

"Oh? You mean?" Wei Yanwu let go of the cigarette end in his mouth, exhaled, and asked.

"Giving those hungry homeless people and children a bite to eat, such as relief food, can at least keep them alive."

"Building more apartment buildings in the slums, as long as they can accommodate people, will at least give so many homeless people there a place to go."

Hearing Chen Huijie's proposal, Wei Yanwu showed a somewhat complicated expression, and then slowly shook his head under the expectant expression of the other party.

"No... Longmen can't do it."

"Why?!" Chen Huijie's expression suddenly became anxious.

"Isn't Longmen very rich? It's just to achieve this level, how could it not be possible?!" She questioned.

To Chen Huijie's questioning, Wei Yanwu just spit out an old saying.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it."

It means not being unable to do it, but not wanting or being able to do it.

Of course Chen Huijie understood the meaning of this sentence, but even so, she still didn't understand why she couldn't do it.

Wei Yanwu suddenly put the pipe back into his pocket, looked at Chen Huijie with complicated eyes, and said:

"Before, I made a promise with you."

"I will train you and teach you right and wrong, but your thoughts, after all, are your own business, and I will not interfere."

"But... Sure enough, the world in your eyes is still too small. Maybe I should have taught you some other things."

Hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Chen Huijie couldn't help becoming angry.

Just when she was about to get angry, Wei Yanwu's next words interrupted her anger.

"Since your father... left, the matter of taking care of you has fallen on me."

"You are a very hardworking kid. At that time, no matter how many training tasks I gave you every day, you could double it."

As Wei Yanwu slowly talked about the past, Chen Huijie also gradually calmed down, wanting to see what hypocrisy the other party was going to say.

"However, that period of your life was basically limited to the practice of swordsmanship, and you rarely go out to see the outside world."

"And when you go to study in Victoria... the situation is similar, day after day, training yourself desperately,

And your hard work has also paid off, graduating with excellent grades recommended by all regular subjects and instructors. "

"The price is... during school, I don't have contact with people around me, and I don't take the initiative to see the outside world."

"If it wasn't for the fact that the dormitory of the Royal Guard School is two-person, otherwise you probably wouldn't have a single friend in the past three years." Wei Yanwu couldn't help laughing when he said this.

And Chen Huijie's expression became more and more annoyed.

"After you returned to Longmen, for more than a year, you left most of Longmen because of work..."

"Enough!" Chen Huijie interrupted: "Wei Yanwu, what are you going to tell me?"

"What I want to say is that the world you see is too small, so small that there is only one dragon gate in the city you are familiar with in this world."

"You must know Londinium, after all, the Royal Guard School is located in this mobile city."

"Then, how much do you know about Londinium?" Wei Yanwu asked calmly, looking directly at Chen Huijie.

"I will!..." Chen Huijie closed her mouth.

Although she had stayed there for three years, she really didn't know that mobile city at all.

"In Londinium, one percent of the people control half of the city's wealth." Wei Yanwu said slowly.

"Nobles and rich people leisurely drink afternoon tea in their villas, enjoy their delicacies, and tease their pet cats and dogs."

"The maids from the lower floors are lined up in the hall of the villa to serve them. At the gate outside the villa, guards and bodyguards in red clothes and black trousers protect their safety."

"And in the civilian area, the vast majority of people can only maintain their food and clothing. The annual salary of the workers there is not even enough for a week's food expenses of a big noble's pet."

"There are rows of street girls standing on the street, and the factories are full of child laborers. Many people don't even have the rent to rent a bed to sleep because of their poor lives, and often they can only share a bed with several people, just like Like a pig living in a pigsty."

"In the slums, sewage flows across the river, and people can only live in dilapidated buildings. They can't even shelter from the wind and rain. They fight each other and even risk their lives for a piece of moldy bread. Compared with ore disease, little colds are more likely to kill them."

"And this is the capital of the great Victoria Kingdom." Wei Yanwu paused when he said this.

"As for other countries, other mobile cities, even Dayan!... The situation is not much better."

"After I've said so much... how do you feel about Longmen now?"

Chen Huijie was stunned.

"I..." She recalled Victoria's more than a year of working in the Guard Bureau after she returned to Longmen.

The streets and alleys of Longmen she walked through, the rice noodle shop she likes to eat most, the movie theater she often goes to.

The Longmen residents she saw live and work in peace and contentment, the noisy and bustling streets, and the crowds coming and going, full of prosperity.

If you don't count the slums, Longmen is indeed a very beautiful city.

"In Longmen, after removing the slums, more than two-thirds of the remaining residents can live a good life."

Wei Yanwu said, for some reason, Chen Huijie heard a sense of pride in his tone.

"And even people in slums, as long as they work hard, they may not be unable to support themselves."

"Even if they are infected, Longmen will grant them second-class citizenship. We will not prohibit them from coming to other places in Longmen during the day to find work in order to obtain living wages. They can still live in Longmen legitimately."

"Even if the guards catch the criminal infected, they won't give them more punishment because of their identities."

"This is Longmen, an open and inclusive prosperous city. In this land, how many mobile cities can treat all their residents like Longmen?" Wei Yanwu asked.

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Huijie didn't know what to say for a moment.

But then, she gritted her teeth and hurriedly asked back.

"But what does this have to do with what you said earlier, 'if you can't do it, you can't do it'?"

"The current Longmen has treated the common people very well." Wei Yanwu explained.

"But if the last stain of Longmen—the slums are built to the extent that people can live and work in peace..."

"Longmen will become the target of public criticism."

"Just in Dayan, if the princes and nobles there see a mobile city where everyone can live a good life, what will they think?"

"What's more..." Wei Yanwu closed his mouth.

What's more, his own identity is relatively sensitive...

"Also, even if no one sees such a Longmen as a 'threat', once the Longmen really achieves that even the people in the slums can live a decent life..."

"Let's not talk about Ursas and Rem Billiton, even in farther countries, the poor people there will desperately immigrate to Longmen."

When he said this, Wei Yanwu sneered.

"After all, according to your thinking, as long as you come to Longmen, even if it is a poor area outside the city, you can still have food to fill your stomach and a house that can shelter you from the wind and rain."

"It's okay at the beginning, what if Longmen can't hold on anymore?"

"How many people can live in a mobile city at most? 300 million? Or 500 million?"

"But if the immigrants who come to Longmen gradually increase to 800 million, 1000 million."

"At that time, can Longmen still support so many people to live a good life?"

Probably after finishing what he wanted to say, Wei Yanwu took out the pipe from his pocket again and smoked it vigorously.

And Chen Huijie, who heard these words, just stood in front of Wei Yanwu silently, without saying a word, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

"But..." She finally let out a questioning roar, even though she also understood that these words were just to vent her emotions.

"But many of them have done nothing wrong at all!"

"Especially those kids..."

"They obviously did nothing wrong...why do they live this kind of life?"

"Yes, there are indeed many of them who have done nothing wrong." Wei Yanwu lightly exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

"But the situation itself has been the norm since the dawn of civilization."

"Because of the hunger and cold, they died silently, even though it is unknown how many people like this have died in thousands of years."

"But their deaths..." Wei Yanwu shook his pipe.

"In the long river of history, how many waves can it stir up?"
