Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1994 The Vigorous Reform Wave

I spent the entire morning just talking about the first four points of the project plan for the next three years.

Li Yu was the one doing all the talking, and everyone else was listening.

No one interrupted the meeting; at most, some items caused a stir and some noise in the venue.

After Li Yu finished explaining the fourth point, which was to strengthen the influence of the camphor tree base and achieve comprehensive coverage across the country, he...

It was noon.

The host, Li Hang, repeated what he had said yesterday:

"Everyone, lunch break is over. Please move down to the lounge area; the cafeteria has prepared delicious food for you."

As the performers on stage left, the audience members left in turn according to their seats.

The rest hall on the second floor of the main building.

The air conditioning in the lobby was on, very cold, and white steam billowed out.

last row.

Li Haoran found Liu Jinglue in the far right corner.

"General, I've been looking for you for ages. I thought you'd gone back to the inner city."

Liu Jinglue was eating lunch when he looked up and saw Li Haoran.

"Brother Haoran."

Li Haoran, holding his lunchbox, sat down next to Liu Jinglue.

He was one year older than Liu Jinglue, but the two were not actually related by blood.

However, Li Haoran is Li Yu's cousin, and Liu Jinglue is Li Yu's cousin, and the link between the two is Li Yu.

They are two core members of the Li family's lineup.

Among the younger generation of the powerful Li family in Dazhangshu, the following individuals are considered to have the potential to rise to prominence:
Li Tie, Li Gang, Li Hang, Li Zhengping, Li Haoran, Liu Jinglue, Li Yuan.

As for Li Peizhen, Liu Dai, Liu Chi and others, they were mainly behind the scenes, either holding important positions in the equipment department of the factory or being responsible for some matters in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Those who openly control real military forces are mainly Li Gang, Li Tie, Li Haoxian, and Li Zhengping.

As for Li Haoran, like his second uncle, he is a generalist in internal affairs but lacks combat experience.

As for Liu Jinglue, he was in charge of the overall management of materials for the oil city and trading market.

There are many people and supplies in the oil city and trading market, making the allocation of personnel and supplies quite complicated.

The oil city was managed by Zhong Chuchu, while the trading market was handled by Lao Huang, with Huang Guangyuan in charge.

The three worked together to coordinate the logistics and personnel affairs of the entire oil city base.

Li Haoran opened his lunchbox, ate a couple of bites, and then said to Liu Jinglue:
"This morning, my brother said that the Northern Territory needs to be repositioned, and we'll definitely need the support of Oil City. You're in charge of the overall material control for Oil City and the Trading Market, so you'll have to help us in the Northern Territory!"

Liu Jinglue chuckled and said:

"Brother Haoran, you're joking. My cousin already said in his planning report this morning that the Oil City will naturally do its best to support the Northern Territory."

"Besides, the North has been supplying food to Oil City for many years. If it weren't for the food from the North, Oil City wouldn't be able to support so many people."

Li Haoran smiled and changed the subject:

Has your dad been pressuring you to get married?

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinglue felt a headache coming on and replied helplessly:
"They're pressuring me so much, I'm completely exhausted. I finally get to go back to headquarters, and my parents and grandparents are driving me crazy. What about you?"

After coughing twice, Li Haoran said:

"There are few women in the North; it's mostly men, and there aren't any suitable ones."

"But you, with so many women in the oil city and trading market, why don't you date one?"

Both of them were in their late twenties, and it's normal to be pressured to get married at that age, whether before or after the apocalypse.

Liu Jinglue scratched his head and replied awkwardly:

"I don't know how to be in a relationship."

"Holy crap?" Li Haoran was dumbfounded. "You're not still a virgin, are you?"

Liu Jinglue nodded awkwardly.

Li Haoran gave a thumbs up and praised:

"You're really something. There are so many pretty girls at the trading market. With your status in Oil City, finding a pretty girl would be a piece of cake. I admire how you can resist."

"Ah, this..." Liu Jinglue said, lowering his head.
"I'm looking for someone I can get along with."

Li Haoran's eyes widened. "Holy crap! You're doing a pure romance?!"

It was as if he was meeting Liu Jinglue for the first time; he truly hadn't expected that even in this apocalyptic world, there would still be warriors of pure love.

No, he couldn't let Liu Jinglue be deceived.

After thinking for a moment, he said:
"How about this, you can ask Li Zhengping to introduce you. That guy is pretty good at the trading market and has a good eye for people. He should be able to help you find what you want."

Actually, he wanted to give Liu Jinglue some advice, but then he thought that he was in the northern border and Liu Jinglue was in the oil city, so they couldn't talk about this kind of topic on the radio every day.

So he came up with a compromise: to have Li Zhengping, who was younger than them but very shrewd, help him.

A scumbag can always easily discern a woman's true nature.

In response to Li Haoran's suggestion, Liu Jinglue waved his hand and said:

"Never mind, I'll handle this myself."

"Sigh, I'm afraid you'll get scammed." Li Haoran sighed, then continued eating.

Not far away, Li Zhengping, who was chatting and laughing with Lao Huang, sneezed.

Looking around, he thought to himself: Who the hell is thinking about me now?

Is it the coriander girl from the administrative office, or Sister Xiaoru from shop number 37?

Or perhaps it's that young woman I just met a few days ago?
In the oil city, Li Zhengping was kept in check by his third uncle, who forbade him from going to Tingfeng Tower or going upstairs for a foot massage.

But Li Zhengping, a 23-year-old young man in his prime, was at the peak of his fighting spirit and ready to fight.

They've adopted a roundabout tactic, trying to prevent P from getting through, right? Well then, I'll talk.

We just talked to a few more people.

In addition, the trading market is full of temptations, and you also encounter many seasoned veterans.

As the patrol captain of the trading market, he was equivalent to the police chief before the apocalypse.
It inevitably picked up some social influences.

This makes him look like a seasoned veteran despite his young age.

From a clueless, rebellious, and game-addicted teenager to a reckless, passionate young man...
Now, after two years of immersing himself in the melting pot of the trading market, he has transformed into a mature and sophisticated young man.

Although he had become a seasoned veteran, he always remembered where he came from.

He was instilled with many ideas by Li Yu and was deeply influenced by him.

They deeply understand the importance of family.

He can manipulate many people, but he would never deceive or hurt his family.

Over the course of eight years, he underwent a transformation, undergoing a significant change.

Humans are environmental creatures; the longer we stay in a certain environment, the more easily we are affected.

They are also social animals; the people they spend a lot of time with will influence their personality.

However, some people are able to stay true to themselves and remain unmoved.

Liu Jinglue and Li Zhengping represent two extremes.

One has completely let loose and embraced life, while the other is so conservative that he's 26 and has never been in a relationship.

There are individual differences between people.

After lunch break.

The meeting will continue in the afternoon.

A high-density information conference, and also a conference that involves the future planning of the camphor tree's influence.

This made everyone vigilant and urged them to take a break at noon, otherwise they might easily fall asleep during the afternoon's conference.

Someone was dozing off this morning and was privately criticized by my second uncle at noon.

This person is Dapao.

If he were in the back row, it wouldn't matter if he secretly took a nap, since the people on stage wouldn't see it.

But damn it, as the head of the interrogation department, according to the rank system, he was sitting in the first row below the stage.

The drowsiness was too obvious.

The changes in that guy, Da Pao, have also been dramatic.

When he first joined the camphor tree base, he was an honest young man who was full of resentment and taciturn.

Later, after being guided by Li Yu and embarking on the path of interrogation, she went further and further astray.

He was even once considered a pervert.

At first, he cared about his reputation, but after everyone in the base knew he was impotent,
He then completely let go.

Especially after the story of him being knocked unconscious by the young ladies at Tingfeng Tower reached the headquarters of the Big Camphor Tree, he completely lost his reputation.

Even if it exists, it's a bad reputation.

He still cares about fame when he has it.

If his reputation is ruined, what does he care about?

I'm completely adopting a "what's the point" mentality right now: I'll just do this, what are you going to do about it?

Anything is fine.

His only passion was interrogation, but that job wasn't frequent. So he just loitered around the base, darting here and there.

Li Yu had cursed at him many times and even beaten him twice.

This guy gets pleasure from being beaten up; he's truly perverted.

Dapao has now completely lost his sense of shame and has no dreams left.

All I want is to conduct the interrogation, lie down and do nothing, and remain loyal to Brother Yu.

Absolute loyalty!

Ignore everything else.

Li Yu couldn't do anything about him; that guy, Da Pao...
I can do my job well, I make small mistakes all the time, but I don't make any big ones.

He may have moral flaws, but he was loyal!

Even if you scold him or beat him severely, he won't change.

Over time, Li Yu just let him be.

After all, Dapao had been with him for many years, venturing into dangerous situations together; he was a brother who had adventured with him for so many years.

Back in the early days of Dazhangshu, Li Yu, Li Gang, Li Tie, Yang Tianlong, and Dapao often teamed up to go out on missions.

The cannon is very reliable; it represents a friendship forged through life and death.

Now, Li Gang and Yang Tianlong have both become the captains of combat battalions, and Li Tie has become the captain of the strongest assault team in the Dazhangshu base. All three of them hold real military power.

On the other hand, although Da Pao has the title of section chief, he only has one soldier under his command, Xiao Wu.

The afternoon meeting officially began.

Li Hang gave his opening remarks as usual, and everyone sat up straight.

Li Yu pulled into the microphone, about to speak, but when he glanced at the cannons below the stage, his brows furrowed slightly.

He cursed in an unfriendly tone:
"Cannon, if you doze off again, get out of here!"

"You shameless bastard, I'll slap you twice."

This was the first time Li Yu had ever scolded his subordinates in front of so many people.

They didn't give the cannon any face at all.

But the cannon was completely ineffective.

She said with a smile in her eyes:
"Don't worry, City Lord, I'm in good spirits!"

Li Yu looked at his smile, his brow twitching, and resisted the urge to go down and hit him a couple of times.

In my heart silently:

Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.

Beating them up won't help.

Don't get angry, anger gives the devil a foothold.
Song Min, standing next to the cannon, had her head down, her back teeth almost grinding to powder.

He pinched the cannon's arm hard with his hand.

shame.

That's so damn embarrassing.

She was somewhat desperate, sighing and questioning the meaning of life. How could she have married such a shameless guy?

Officially begin.

Li Yu took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said:
"To recap what was discussed this morning:"
1. Make every effort to ensure food security, with a three-year plan to increase the planting scale by more than tenfold.

2. Population expansion planning.

3. Strengthen basic construction planning.

4. Make every effort to extend the influence of the camphor tree to cover the entire country.

After briefly reviewing the situation, Li Yu continued:
"Next, let's talk about point five."

"Comprehensively promote the in-depth development of education."

"Given the current population growth in Dazhangshu, in order to reserve talent for the future and to enhance the sense of belonging among the residents who join Dazhangshu."

"In the next three years, basic general education will be implemented in all branch bases."

"Based on the existing educational methods at the headquarters in Dazhangshu, corresponding schools will also be set up in other branch bases."

"In the future, we will strive to have a general education school in each branch base. In addition to general education, we will also set up advanced education schools in the Oil City and Dazhangshu headquarters bases."

"and."

After a brief pause, Li Yu looked up at the crowd below the stage.

To put it simply:

"All education will be free, and the costs of teachers and school construction will be borne by the camphor tree."

"The key element is to strengthen and cultivate these children's sense of belonging and pride in the big camphor tree."

A single sentence can stir up a thousand waves.

Establishing schools is a good thing, after all, there are many talented people from all walks of life among the residents.

But these people will eventually grow old, and their skills may not necessarily be suitable for the current environment.

Only those cultivated by ourselves can best and most effectively cultivate the kind of talent that the big camphor tree wants.

just
The fact that it was free shocked everyone.

Education has always been extremely important.

There has never been such a thing as free.

You could even say that education is very, very expensive!
In ancient times, people did not lend out their books, which effectively cut off the channels for the lower classes to climb the social ladder.

Even education was one of the most expensive things in ancient times.

Before the apocalypse, education was linked to the economy; without a house, one could not go to school.

But now.
The big camphor tree actually implemented a free education system.

That's a bit too idealistic.

Moreover, it doesn't resemble the style of the old camphor tree: there's no such thing as a free lunch, and it emphasizes equal payback.

The camphor tree now seems to have received more humanistic care.

The crowd below the stage was buzzing with discussion.

"If it were really free, there would be quite a few children, and the cost would probably be considerable."

“You’re right, that’s what I’m worried about too. If this happens, the burden on our big camphor tree will definitely increase.”

Some people also expressed their opposition.

"Foolish! Don't you even look at what time it is? After so many years of apocalypse, with constant natural disasters and zombie outbreaks, how many of the billion-plus population are left?"
As the largest known power in the Great Camphor Tree region, we should have a broader vision and cultivate more capable individuals. Otherwise, what will happen to the Great Camphor Tree base in ten or twenty years? What will happen to humanity?

"Wow, a human! Brother Dongfeng, you have such a grand vision!"

Snapped!
Why did you hit me?

"You deserve a beating."

"I'm riding a horse!"

The two almost got into a fight.

"Silence!" Just then, Li Hang stood up again on the stage, glaring at the crowd.

The audience fell silent instantly.

Like a quail, it sat obediently upright.

Li Yu rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself:
Meetings with too many people are no good; they're noisy and make a fuss over nothing.

Next time we need to set a rule: anyone who dares to disrupt the order of the meeting should be kicked out.

After things calmed down.

Li Yu continued:

"Sixth point."

"On the Reform of the Personnel Ranking System"

"Given the increasing number of people in the Big Camphor Tree area, more survivors will likely join in the future."

"In order to ensure the welfare and benefits of those who have made existing contributions, a sixth level will be added."

"at the same time."

"It is also to encourage employees to work hard and avoid a situation where they sit idly by and are complacent."

"Improve the personnel ranking system, add a bottom-ranking elimination system, deduct corresponding contribution points for mistakes, and demote after reaching a certain standard."

Conversely, if one's contribution points reach a certain standard and pass the review, they can replace someone of a higher level.

Since the camphor tree forces have not yet discovered any enemies, they will have to encircle themselves.

Only in this way can we ensure vitality and upward momentum.

Otherwise, some high-ranking individuals could simply slack off and remain idle, yet still enjoy a plethora of benefits, resources, and positions.
This will seriously affect the development of the camphor tree's influence.

Although it is cruel, it is a path that a force must take.

Only in this way can we become stronger and stronger.
