Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

A few days later, the station security team, acting on a tip, raided temporary gathering areas and commercial districts near the station and hanged more than a dozen so-called "gang leaders" on the grounds that they violated wartime laws and formed private associations with ulterior motives.

All members were sentenced to prison terms and hard labor according to the severity of their crimes, and the security situation at the station improved rapidly in a short period of time.

At the same time, further renovation measures to strengthen security and public order management have begun, such as passenger diversion, setting up gates and extensive surveillance.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: No War on the Western Front

Chapter 58

The train slowly came to a stop at the terminal station, which is the departure station for Satie City and also the unloading station around the farm. Apart from the staff and the mountains of various supplies and grain sacks, there were no idle people wandering around here.

"Alright, we've arrived. Meet here again on the 6th of next month. Now, dismissed!" the captain announced, and the girls, who had been traveling for several days, immediately dispersed, laughing and joking.

"Honestly, don't they feel any tension from the ongoing war?" The battalion commander shook his head. Well, for those of them who fly in the sky, the impact of war is indeed not high enough.

Everyone else gets a month's vacation, but she only gets half a month because she has to go to the aviation school in advance to pick up the textbooks, communicate with the engineers, and make preparations and arrangements.

Compared to when I left, the oasis has changed a lot. Six- or seven-story buildings have started to appear around the egg-shaped dome, and the streets have been completely paved and equipped with drainage pipes. It looks much cleaner than when I left.

The shops seemed to have a full range of goods, and there was no shortage of supplies due to the war. Since Theresis' fleet could not take the north, it could not stop the flow of goods from Lungmen into this area.

Although the Great Yan Dynasty rarely engages in open exchanges with other countries, its goods enter various countries faster than its army.

Terra's only trade deficit money-guzzling beast, yet the biggest guarantee of Lungmen Dollar's credibility. Anyone who has seen the deficit in Da Yan's export and import trade volume would not think that this country, which absorbs 1/3 of Terra's annual precious metal and Originium production, cannot guarantee the value of its currency.

However, Da Yan has relatively serious restrictions on the export of goods. First of all, most of the metals are not exported, but only imported, especially precious metals and non-ferrous metals.

Secondly, military equipment and equipment that could be used for military purposes are never sold. To this day, no one knows what type of crossbows or other long-range weapons the Great Yan army is equipped with—"The Divine Machine Crossbow is a powerful weapon of China and should not be given away lightly."

Finally, the Great Yan Dynasty never exported grain; instead, it imported large quantities of grain. Its main exports were fiber crops such as cotton and hemp leaves, silk fabrics similar to silk, tea, and various handicrafts. Of course, daily necessities and some chemical products were also its main export commodities.

Another point, which few people who don't do foreign trade with the Great Yan Dynasty know, is the core part that truly constitutes the country's main export commodities—

Rhodes Island even has its own offices and advertising businesses in the Great Yan region for acquiring pharmaceutical raw materials and collaborating on the establishment of pharmaceutical factories.

For this reason, many everyday items in Oasis now bear the logo of Da Yan's export trade.

A "Chinese-style commercial street" has even formed near the city center, and nearly half of the business owners are from East Asia...

"Miss, what would you like to order?" The captain had just sat down in a restaurant decorated in the Yan style when someone approached her, almost startling her. "A Yan person? Isn't it said that Yan people almost never leave their homeland?" The other person's accent was obviously a bit strange, and didn't seem to be from the East.

“You’re joking, young lady…” The latter gave a wry smile. “I’ve contracted this ‘stone disease,’ and there’s nothing I can do but come out and make a living.”

The other party stated that they were infected, and Yan Kingdom had a relatively lenient attitude towards infected people—they could choose between military service or exile. If they chose military service, they would be assigned to the Western Army's "Punishment Camp" in the northwest, which was fighting against the demons and Ursus.

Fighting the fiercest battles for a meager salary that barely covers living expenses is a different story. For real criminals, there's always the option of getting a pardon through beheading, but for the infected, it's just a matter of continuing to fight, at best rising to the rank of a minor leader.

If they were to be exiled, they would be sent to the Longnan Desert or the far north, or perhaps to the Rembito region near the Great Yan.

Of course, there is another hidden option: to bribe officials and secretly cross the border to other countries or enter Lungmen to live.

However, in other countries and Lungmen, it's probably not much better than exile. With the emergence of forces like New Kazdel that don't discriminate against infected people, more and more exiles are coming over.

Unfortunately, the Great Yan is not Ursus. They would not exile artisans. Infected artisans would be incorporated into artisan camps and responsible for maintaining military equipment and such.

"I came to this place, but I don't have any special skills. I can only make a living with my old skills. Fortunately, the harvest is good, so I can manage to get by."

A hint of emotion appeared on his weathered face. "Who would have thought that there aren't any good places out here..."

Before being exiled, I had imagined it to be a desolate, barren wasteland. Well, that was indeed the case along the way. After entering the Sati Oasis, there were rows of neat farmlands and irrigation projects.

As someone who came from a farming background in the Great Yan Dynasty, I could tell at a glance that the harvest here must be good. As long as the landlord's family wasn't the kind that squeezed every last drop of blood from the earth, making a living shouldn't be a problem.

"Then, shall we order some of your signature dishes?"

"Okay!"

"These Yan people and their officials seem like two different kinds of beings." Froststar looked at the situation in the centralized village. The village, composed of refugees who had fled from the south and people who had fled from the Great Yan, had completely different production styles.

Of course, the officials of Yan Kingdom are also different from those of other countries. "Xuezhi, does your Yan Kingdom particularly like to pick out those who can't do anything right from the vast sea of ​​people and make them officials?"

"Haha, I've actually never been to Yan Kingdom," Xue Zhi said with an awkward smile. "However, I've heard my mother tell a joke: in Yan Kingdom, how do you describe someone who can't do anything? It's like saying, 'You'll only be able to become an official.'"

"Huh...do they not do anything?" Froststar couldn't understand it; handling administrative affairs also required a certain level of professionalism.

This question can be answered not only by the Yan people, but also by the Victorian bagpipes next door: "Because if he knew how to do things, he wouldn't have been transferred to do things... Our country's Minister of Agriculture was appointed because he didn't understand agriculture. It's abnormal for someone who really understands machinery to manage machinery, or someone who is really stingy and good at accounting to manage finances."

"Snow Pheasant, she said you're stingy and miserly—"

"Haha, it's okay, spicy—" Xuezhi didn't care that much about such things.

"Actually, there are indeed capable officials in Yan, but they would never be promoted." Old Chen, another Yan native, said that there are talented people in Yan who can actually get things done.

Why?

"He got promoted, so who will do the work?" Old Chen glanced at Xue Zhi. "It's like Little Xue Zhi got promoted, so who will take charge of her pile of work?"

"Should we have someone from the next level do the work?"

“But the people who actually do the work are all newcomers with little experience. The senior ones and those with connections don’t do any work, but when it comes to promotions, they’re the ones who seem to have the best performance. So…” Old Chen shrugged, “That’s just how it is.”

It has to be said that Big Cat went back to get married, and she now has absolute power in the Guard Bureau, which has brought about quite a change. After all, Little Tiger used to handle these kinds of things.

Now, Lao Chen is beginning to confront this part of himself that was previously protected and avoided.

Of course, she was arranged by Lao Wei to come here to avoid the limelight. The internal power struggles in the Great Yan Dynasty are becoming increasingly serious. In case things change, at least one person can be saved.

"Hey, did you guys come here just to stand on the edge of the field and spout nonsense?" Xia Lin complained, carrying her tools. "Come on over and help."

"Snow Pheasant, what are you doing following me? Have you finished your work?"

"It's all done. All the quarterly accounts have been submitted to PRST for accounting. I'm on vacation now." Xiaoxuezhi looked bewildered. She was indeed very busy, but even the most busy things eventually come to an end.

"Yelena, what happened to what I asked you to do?"

"All done, all caught, they're probably going to be sent to the mine soon..." White Rabbit curled her lips and gestured for Old Xia to look at the vehicles on the side of the road. "Honestly, I suggest that next time we catch someone causing trouble in the experimental field, we should just hang them. That would be more deterrent."

With many newcomers, the security situation becomes chaotic, and it also means that all sorts of people will come to the same place, such as those causing trouble in Lao Xia's experimental field.

Not only did they pick his beans, but they also started a fire in the field, almost burning the entire bean field down.

When they were arresting people, the entire village covered for each other and resisted the security team. In the end, they had to call in Frostnova's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now they've all been thrown into the mines.

New Kazdel is no paradise. There are plenty of refugees scrambling to get in from the border, and those who misbehave are thrown into the mines to make room for the next group of people.

What about the human trafficking issue?

"Patriot Daddy went to arrest them himself. His opinion was that no matter how many people were involved, no matter what the reason, and no matter how much they were covered up, they should all be killed."

Refugees are a form of wealth in themselves, and many people have taken advantage of this, engaging in human trafficking and the slave trade. Then... Big Daddy led his elite troops to cause trouble.

"Um, Officer Chen, what are you here for?" Old Xia came to measure the soil conditions and the newly cultivated soybeans, so he called Froststar and Windpipe over. Froststar was there to deal with the group of people who set fire to the soybean field earlier, while Windpipe was simply brought over to do the work.

"It was stuffy inside the hotel, so I came out for a walk," Old Chen said matter-of-factly. "I think things are a bit chaotic here lately."

"Yes, indeed." With more diverse people, there are more conflicts arising from customs, traditions, and cultures. So, it does seem a bit chaotic.

"Xuezhi, take note of this. We'll organize a land survey later. We need to know how much land we've reclaimed, how much of it is privately owned, and who owns it."

"I've already taken stock, and the new tax plans have all been submitted to the Doctor for review." Of course, a stingy person like Xuezhi wouldn't be unaware of how many taxpayers he had under his control; he had already cleared out the land in the controlled area.

"That's good." Old Xia went back to his work. As an agricultural technician, especially one specializing in highly unmanned agriculture, he had no idea how many shady dealings he would uncover during the investigation.

There were numerous cases of people concealing their population, hiding public land as private land, cultivating land without reporting it, causing trouble for the surveying team, and resisting taxes. Fortunately, these kinds of troubles were not Xuezhi's responsibility; the professor found someone to handle them.

Meanwhile, the logistics station.

"Brother Jie, hurry up and sign your receipt!"

"Brother Jie, a new batch of goods has arrived. The customer requires it to be shipped within three days..."

"Brother Jie!"

“Brother Jie…”

"Damn it, I've told you so many times, don't call me Brother Jie!" Angelina shouted angrily as she worked hard, entangled in a pile of logistics documents and bills.

Who started this nickname? Why call her "Brother Jie" when she's clearly a girl?

When she looks in the mirror, she's a beautiful young woman with a great figure. Where is she lacking in femininity that makes people call her "Brother Jie"?

"Am I coming at the wrong time to send this package?"

"Bean sprout! QAQ!"

The green-haired girl is an entrepreneur from Colombia who aspires to become the CEO of Terra's first large-scale rock crab farming company.

However, no one cared about this whimsical idea on the traditional Columbia farm, and no one in the Columbia company invested in her.

So he took his rock crab and truck and boldly ran across the war zone to Kazdel.

Because this is the place with the most species of rock crabs, and because the local agriculture seems to prefer innovation, rock crabs can be eaten, can carry things, can burrow, and can even act as canaries in mining to detect poisonous gases and rescue people in mines—and the plan was approved by Snow Pheasant.

As fellow entrepreneurs who left home, they naturally had a good relationship with Brother Jie. "Why do they like to call me Brother Jie?"

"Uh, is it because your name is too long?" Doumiao scratched her face awkwardly. Anxinyuan Angelina, this name is not only long, but also tongue-twisting, and it has the pronunciation of Dongguo (Eastern Country) — while Jie Ge is much simpler. That's right, this nickname was the one she called him at the beginning.

To be precise, during a sales pitch, I couldn't remember Angelina's full name for a moment, so I wrote "Brother Jie" on the receipt, and then all the deliverymen knew about it.

Logistics is a demanding business; the deliverymen and drivers handle thousands of goods every day. It's already a miracle they didn't abbreviate her name to J.B. (Jboy). Who's going to write out her long full name?

Furthermore, her full name has also caused a joke due to its abbreviation. When sending and receiving packages, Angelina's package, abbreviated as AA, was mistaken for an anti-aircraft weapon sent to the military. Fortunately, it was discovered during transit.

Otherwise, a frontline anti-drone squad would receive a women's camisole nightgown instead of the anti-drone gun they requested.

"His name is too long, so we can't just call him Brother Jie!"

"Forehead……"

"Never mind, Doumiao, are you here to post your rock crab again?"

"Yes, six rock crabs, from Longmen Lower City, to the Pipeline Sewage Management Office..." Doumiao whistled, and the well-trained rock crabs got off the truck carrying six airline crates containing six small rock crabs.

The Longmen Management Office ordered six units for use in treating pipeline pollution and clearing pipeline obstructions.

In fact, her rock crab farming business was doing quite well. Unfortunately, sales weren't great; most people didn't like these scavenging creatures. It was only because Rhode Island and the Xia Group placed orders for medical and other industrial uses that Bean Sprouts didn't go bankrupt.

Because rock crabs are inedible, look bulky but actually have very little meat, and have very light shells, they have no productive value in traditional agriculture, so no one would raise them.

"anything else?"

"Thirty tons of feed, the delivery note is here." Compared to the breeding business, Doumiao premium feed has been welcomed and recognized by everyone, and dozens of tons of goods are shipped out every day to various breeding farms and pet shops in Longmen.

"Doumiao, why are you still handling the shipping yourself? Aren't you going to hire a few people?"

"How can I afford to hire people..." The feed business did employ quite a few people. However, she invested all her income in her beloved crab farming business, investing in improving crab farming techniques and developing new crab varieties, so naturally she saved money wherever possible.
