Chapter 129 Small game, big problem

Lin Zaishan returned to the cage, and the poisonous spider was still angry with him and looked coldly at him.

"Is someone not dead outside?"

"Thank you, someone is still alive."

"Can you tell Lao Wang and ask him to change us a better place to live? There is no separate bathroom, no hot bath, no mirror, and even a drink of water. It's really not a life for people."

Lin Zaishan said: "I feel that living here is great, spacious, quiet, simple, and you don't have to worry about anything. Besides, it's the end of the world, so let's just live it."

"No! I am a woman, I can't stand this kind of lowly life like a livestock. Aren't you very popular in front of Lao Wang and you are also capable? If you can't even solve this problem, what kind of man are you?"

Lin Zaishan lamented: "It seems that you have stopped admitting that I am a so-called man since yesterday. Why should I care about this time?"

"You are really useless and have no motivation at all!"

"I am just more willing to accept a life of material poverty. This is my right and freedom. Why does it become a lack of prospects and a lack of motivation?"

"Nonsense, if a man cannot let his woman live a good life, or even doesn't even have such a wish, then he is of course a coward who is incredible."

"I finally understand why there are so many single men in the world who are single with their hard power."

"That's because they don't meet the minimum standards of women."

"You are wrong, that's because they don't want to be a means and tool for women to seek their own selfish interests. They want to leave their best selves to the world to help more people and do more meaningful things."

"I think such a man is a real selfish ghost. If he doesn't even care for his own woman, how can he really help others? They choose to be single just because they don't want to give."

"You blame men for being selfish and unwilling to give, so why don't you ask you women themselves in the other way? For example, if you think this place is dirty, you can come to clean it yourself; if you think that living conditions are not good, you can ask Lao Wang to change the luxurious suite; if you think there is no luxury clothing and food, then you can find a way to earn it yourself; if you think that men are lazy, then you are diligent; if you think that men are cowardly, you can do it yourself. Everyone is born as a human being, and it is not a relative, so there is no problem that who owe who can't leave anyone, right?"

"To you! A man like you dies sooner or later, and deserves to be lonely for the rest of his life."

"It sounds like this kind of life isn't too bad."

The next morning, Sima Te was ordered again to take Lin Zaishan to meet Wang Chengba.

Wang Chengba is discussing "military and political affairs" with several important officials in Guicheng.

The official in charge of people's livelihood said: "City lord, there is a shortage of food now. The various food and processed food stored before the end of the world have basically been exhausted. The newly expanded food sources after the end of the world are mainly hunting and gathering. Due to the general increase in the level of mutant beasts in the surrounding area, the difficulty of hunting has also increased accordingly, and the price of meat continues to rise. Many teams are unable to maintain the hunting scale like before due to casualties, equipment aging and ammunition loss. The yield of gatherings is increasing day by day, but many people are not used to eating plants after the end of the world, which can easily lead to various abnormal physical reactions. Over-collecting will eventually destroy vegetation and increase costs. Collecters have to travel farther than before to get enough food every day. At present, the average range of activity for each collector has exceeded 3 kilometers outside of Guicheng, and it is increasing every day."

Wang Chengbadao: "Isn't it good to run a further road? You can exercise and prevent obesity."

People's livelihood officials said: "Now the bottom-class citizens are facing the problem of food and clothing, not weight loss."

"You wait first, I'll listen to their reports."

The security official said: "In the past period, the overall security order in Guicheng has been good, with the crime rate maintained at a historical low of 2.5 people being illegally killed and 80 people being violently injured every day. The vast majority of citizens live and work in peace and contentment, and stick to their own self-reliance."

Lin Zaishan was shocked and complained to himself: "Is this also called good? You must know that there are only more than 3,000 people in Guicheng."

Wang Chengba didn't take it seriously and smiled and said, "Well, this data is good. Are your public security work very effective? Have you encountered any problems?"

The sheriff said: "Recently, a very powerful thief appeared in the city, always stealing other people's property."

"Flying thief? How to fly? Is there a helicopter?"

"No, there are no helicopters. They just fly over the eaves and walls, and they are elusive and steal repeatedly. Even the Guicheng weapon shop was stolen."

"Just thief, you can send extra people to get them done. Next!"

The infrastructure official said: "Mr. Lord, we have recently inspected and found cracks, damage, falling off and other problems in houses and streets. We need to repair them as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be rain leakage or even landslides."

"My house will not leak rain, landslide

Bar?"

"Of course not."

"Then let's talk about it. Do you have any other questions?"

"Some citizens suggested that we repair public toilets and improve the water supply and drainage system. The citizens at the bottom were very dissatisfied with receiving clean water once a week."

"Who dares to be dissatisfied with me? I will kill his whole family!"

"The city lord calms down. We are not talking about personal grudges, but about public issues. We cannot kill people at any time."

"They think there is not enough water. Can't they get it from the lake?" Wang Chengba was a little angry.

Infrastructure officials said: "If there are water monsters in the lake, they will hurt people at any time; in addition, the lake water is not clean."

Wang Chengbadao: "I'll talk about this later, I'll replace the next one."

The entertainment official said with a smile: "Mr. Lord, the Guicheng entertainment industry has been full of good news recently. You are organizing a capable force to find a son for the elderly. This kind of good deed has become a household name in the city. The kind citizens all praise you as a model of Guicheng, a good man in the end of the world, with a famous reputation and unparalleled appearance."

Wang Chengba was overjoyed and praised: "You did a pretty job. Are there any other achievements?"

"The output value of Dale Dou Sports Lottery has reached a new level. The competition held yesterday held a total of 300,000 crystals, and the official tax revenue of Guicheng reached 300,000."

"Sounds good, are there any other exciting entertainment events?"

"Yes! As far as I know, some people have proposed that the official relaxation of regulations and allow the opening of... Huajie Liuxiang."

"Flower Street, Willow Alley?" Wang Chengba widened his eyes.

"It's...a brothel."

"I understand this, but you still need to teach me?" Wang Chengba said angrily: "During my rule, I, Wang Chengba, will definitely not allow the public to open a decadent and backward thing like Huajie Liuxiang!" He changed his voice, "But it can be handed over to the official Guicheng to operate."

"Good idea!" Entertainment officials have no bottom line in order to cater to Wang Chengba.

//////////////

The livelihood official said: "City lord, food is the most important thing for people. Eating is a big problem. Let's give priority to solving the problem of food and clothing for citizens."

Infrastructure officials said: "The public water supply and drainage system is related to the basic quality of life of the general public and cannot be delayed."

The security official said: "Does the arrest of flying thieves have nothing to do with public interests? Who can guarantee that your property will not be missed by the thieves?"

The entertainment official said with a stern face: "Look at you, you will know that you will cause trouble for the city lord all day long. Wouldn't you find something happy to do?" He said to Wang Cheng with a smile on his face: "City lord, let's first discuss the special work of Huajie Liuxiang, which has significant economic and social benefits, right?"

Wang Chengba smiled and said, "Okay, let's study it below..."

The three officials of people's livelihood, infrastructure and public security all opposed in unison, "City lord, must not!" "We must distinguish priorities." "Entertainment is a disaster for the country, and some things cannot be easily involved."

When Wang Chengba saw several people strongly opposing it, he fell into a dilemma. He looked around and saw Lin Zaishan watching. He immediately stretched out his face and smiled, "My favorite slave is here. Tell me, what should I give priority to?"

The security officials immediately opposed: "City Lord, how can you ask a slave for military and political affairs? If you say it, you will be laughed at by others. We are no one in Guicheng."

The people's livelihood official retorted: "Slaves are human beings. Without the hard work of slaves, how can we become privileged people? It's nothing wrong to listen to the opinions of slaves occasionally."

The infrastructure official said: "I don't care, you keep arguing."

Wang Chengba asked the entertainment official: "Do you think it is necessary for us to ask a slave for his opinion?"

The entertainment official said: "Lord, under your leadership, our Guicheng City is the foundation of the city that is unpredictable. No matter what you deal with, as long as you execute it in accordance with the entertainment spirit, there will be no problem."

Wang Chengba nodded repeatedly, "Not bad! The more we are in this end of the world, the more we need the spirit of entertainment. Chief, I now ask you to answer my question just now in an entertaining way: What problems do you think I should prioritize?

Lin Zaishan said: "Since that's the case, I will give you an entertainment-based suggestion to deal with disputes. These big guys have disputes about what issues they have priority. If you make choices based on subjective decisions alone, it will easily cause unfairness. Therefore, I suggest using lottery to draw randomly to draw the problems to be solved. The specific operation method is very simple and entertaining. As long as each person shakes the dice once, the big guys will give priority to the problem of whoever has the largest points. I..."

"Good idea!" Wang Chengba happily slapped the board without waiting for Lin Zaishan to finish speaking, "This matter is decided like that. Come on, go and get the dice."

Soon the servants brought the dice.

Wang Chengba said, "Everyone heard what the chief said just now, so we used dice to randomly choose the military and political affairs of Guicheng. Everyone is willing to accept the loss!" He stuffed the bet tools to the people's livelihood officials and ordered: "You shake first."

The people's livelihood officials were not good at this, so they shook their way twice and threw a 3-pointer.

"Ha! How can you handle major events with such luck?" Other officials couldn't help but sarcastic.

Lin Zaishan thought to himself:

"I have to help the people's livelihood officials, otherwise the issue of food and clothing raised by him will be delayed, and someone may starve to death."

The security officer proudly picked up the dice and threw it out with very skillful techniques. In his expectation, this time it was at least five points. Sure enough, the dice was swaying and it was about to stabilize at five points, but at the last moment, it inexplicably turned into two points.

"I'll go! What the hell is this?" The sheriff began to doubt his eyes.

Similar phenomena of "bad luck" have occurred in infrastructure officials and entertainment officials one after another. In the end, the people's livelihood officials won a complete victory with just three points.

"The result is obvious. We will discuss the food and clothing issues of lower-class citizens later." Wang Chengba announced. He walked to Lin Zaishan and patted his shoulder, praising: "You are worthy of being my favorite slave. Any idea will help me solve my headaches in decision-making problems. I decided that in the future, I will follow the current model, and I must highlight Guicheng's courageous entertainment spirit and use small games to solve big problems!"

Lin Zaishan complained secretly when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel infinite sympathy for the people of Guicheng.

//////////////

A few minutes later, the livelihood official was called to the office by Wang Chengba to discuss the "food and clothing issue", and Lin Zaishan was also summoned to listen.

"The key to the problem of food and clothing is that it is becoming more difficult to obtain food." said the livelihood official: "In terms of hunting, many powerful teams have greatly reduced their interest in hunting, and ordinary citizens lack the ability to hunt mutant beasts; in terms of collection, the distance to travel is getting farther and farther, and the risk factor is also increasing sharply."

Lin Zaishan asked: "Can't we expand new channels for food acquisition? For example, fishing, animal husbandry, breeding, and farming."

People's livelihood officials said: "For ordinary citizens, fishing is definitely not possible. The fish monsters in the water are too powerful and are more threatening than mutant beasts on land. Therefore, fish can only be luxury goods at present."

"Where is farming?"

"We don't have seeds, fertilizers and pesticides," he said.

“Is there no plant in the end of the world that can be cultivated as crops?”

"This... I'm afraid this can't be done in a day or two, right?"
