"Do you remember Wang Tao? He's that university medical professor! He told me yesterday that the government thinks he's quite capable and has already internally selected him to be a medical advisor for the government in the future. And Fang Xue, she's also been chosen by the government to be the future manager of the Andong Industrial Park, and..."
Zhang Ennuo began to name some university professors and high-level talents who had been selected by Wei Youde and who would be able to work as soon as the electricity was turned on.
"This is wrong!"
"We are all human beings. Why can those university professors and graduates from prestigious universities get jobs so easily, while we don't even know where we'll be tomorrow!"
"We also need to work, a job similar to those of university professors and graduates from prestigious universities!"
"We want the government to realize that we are the masters of this society!"
Several FBI moles shouted.
"We want single rooms too, and we want future jobs too!"
The Eastern United States has long been anti-intellectual, to the point that even members of Congress, those highly qualified individuals who graduated from prestigious universities and have glittering resumes, have to constantly use phrases like "MB" and "C language" to resonate with the masses.
And the public will be very enthusiastic in voting for the so-called foolish councilor.
Zhang Ennuo was now behaving like a fool, and coupled with the words the crowd wanted to hear, he instantly ignited the entire tent area.
More than a thousand people shouted along with Zhang Ennuo.
"We want single rooms too, and we want future jobs too!"
"We want single rooms too, and we want future jobs too!"
"We want single rooms too, and we want future jobs too!"
Several hours later, several military pickup trucks delivered food and water, including some canned meat.
Zhang Ennuo naturally ran over and distributed the food pieces to the parade group she was leading.
In an instant, Zhang Ennuo received countless foster mothers and envy from the disaster victims.
While Zhou Yan was watching the show from a corner, he noticed that many pretty young women went up to Zhang Ennuo and expressed their love for her.
Then, something strange happened in the afternoon.
An army unit carrying guns stormed into the disaster relief tent area and, amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, reached Zhang Ennuo's tent.
Zhang Ennuo was standing right in front of the tent when the soldier made eye contact with her.
“Mr. Zhang Ennuo, Ms. Lin Xu from our department has gone missing. We discovered that the last person she had contact with was you. We need to question and search you.”
"slander!"
Zhang Ennuo displayed excellent acting skills at this moment; the man's face turned red as he roared.
"It must be because I organized the protests and fought for everyone's interests that the government has taken notice of me!"
Zhang Ennuo shouted.
"I will never give in!"
"Yes, we can't let Brother Zhang get arrested!"
"Brother Zhang is our leader, we can't let him leave!"
"These guys are trying to break up our cohesion!"
Several FBI agents shouted and then rallied the crowd to surround the approaching soldiers. The soldiers drew their weapons, and the surrounding crowd panicked and moved aside.
As the disaster victims made way, one of the soldiers quickly bypassed Zhang Ennuo and lifted the curtain on Zhang Ennuo's tent.
The contents of the tent were quickly exposed to the air.
Inside the tent was the body of a young girl, completely naked, with handprints on her neck indicating strangulation. Judging from the marks on her body, she was likely strangled to death after engaging in sexual intercourse.
The surrounding survivors paused; the moment the female corpse appeared, the situation immediately changed.
Seeing this, Zhang Ennuo stepped aside and, to everyone's surprise, drew his pistol and aimed it at the nearest soldier's chest.
"Oh!"
A bloody explosion erupted behind the soldier, who then collapsed to the ground.
Then an FBI agent shouted.
“It must be the government trying to frame Brother Zhang. Let’s kill all these soldiers and destroy this smear.”
Several special agents rushed out and, together with Zhang Ennuo who fired the gun, shot the soldiers one by one, "killing" them.
The surrounding disaster victims, who hadn't had time to react, stared blankly at everything. They hadn't participated in any of this, but now they were complete accomplices.
After that, it's simple.
Zhou Yan watched as more than fifty military transport vehicles drove to the outside of the tent area. A thousand soldiers (all paid by Zhou Yan) who had been waiting rushed into the tent area, beat all the disaster victims, and after subduing them, loaded them onto the vehicles and sent them to the nearby large labor reform farm. They didn't expect them to grow anything; they just wanted to give these disaster victims a job.
The next day, news spread throughout the disaster-stricken areas that the protesters killed people and resisted the law, and were eventually quelled by the army. The city government then imposed martial law and banned further protests.
FBI agents infiltrated different disaster-stricken areas, discovered Zhang Ennuo's murder, and then spread the video of the investigation team killing soldiers via a nearly dead cell phone.
Zhou Yan stood on the rooftop of a building, watching FBI agents re-enter the disaster area, begin acting as public opinion leaders, and guide public opinion before secretly sighing.
The FBI, a necessary evil...
Two days later, in the Mayor's office of the Roman City Government.
After combing his hair, Wei Youde tied his tie in front of a life-sized mirror. His assistant came up behind him and helped him put on a tuxedo.
Wei Youde buttoned up his suit jacket one button at a time, a slight smile slowly spreading across his face.
"This is what Wei Youde's assistant asked."
"Mayor, are you very happy today?"
Wei Youde laughed.
"Ah, I've worked hard in Zhongzhou City for half my life, rising from a community civil servant to a community councilor, but I've never had the connections..."
Wei Youde sighed.
"I might only ever be a minor minister in the district government for the rest of my life."
Things are different now. Because the Eastern Xia Federation has lost control of too many states, resulting in power vacuums in too many places, and Wei Youde is very lucky to be noticed by Zhou Yan.
If nothing unexpected happens, once Luomen City is pacified and Dongyang Prefecture resumes government rule, Zhou Yan will become the governor of Dongyang Prefecture, Wei Youde will become the mayor of Luomen City, and the other helpers that Little Yama has found will at least be mayors or city councilors in other cities.
This is why great prosperity follows great disasters; class rigidity is broken, and a large number of new ruling classes will emerge in the Eastern Xia Federation.
The assistant said respectfully.
"Mayor Wei, we are destined for good fortune after surviving such a calamity. Our future is bright."
Wei Youde chuckled a few times, then left the office with his assistant and went down to the municipal government building.
There were military off-road vehicles parked downstairs, and Wei Youde and his assistant got into one.
The soldier driving the car took Wei Youde and the other man to the Luomen City Power Plant.
Two days have passed, and the professional team dispatched by Zhuque has set up the power generation equipment, which will be able to generate electricity today.
Once Luomen City has a stable power generation channel, then industry can begin to develop. Once industry starts, Luomen City will have entered a proper internal cycle.
We can now extend our reach to other cities.
The power plant will be here soon.
Unlike the previous two days, today the power plant was covered with banners and surrounded by reporters. When Wei Youde got out of the military off-road vehicle, a large group of reporters surrounded him. Wei Youde spoke with great enthusiasm.
"After a month of our efforts..."
"We will restore Dongyang Prefecture within two years..."
"At the latest next month, we will take the army to other cities to search for survivors..."
Wei Youde led a group of reporters to the front of the power plant's main building.
A high platform was erected in front of the building, and on the platform was a group of senior electricians dispatched by Zhuque. Zhou Yan stood below the platform drinking soda. When Wei Youde arrived, he smiled and nodded at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan nodded in response.
Upon reaching the edge of the stage, the reporters automatically separated. A civil servant named Wei Youde, who had personally inquired about Zhou Yan's educational background and then received a government management position, came up and gave Zhou Yan and Wei Youde a pair of scissors respectively.
Meanwhile, the electricians on stage had already taken a red rope with flowers on it.
Zhou Yan and Wei Youde exchanged a glance. Zhou Yan sighed and walked up to the platform with Wei Youde. In front of countless reporters' cameras, they cut off the red flower in the center of the colorful rope.
The moment the cut was made, the entire power plant roared to life, and large strips of neon lights began to flash above everyone's heads.
It generated electricity.
The more than 1,000 soldiers who came to stand below the platform immediately applauded continuously, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.
Then came the speech.
Zhou Yan hates giving speeches more than anything else in his life, whether he's standing on the stage or sitting below.
Therefore, Zhou Yan delegated the entire speech to Wei Youde, and stepped down from the platform before Wei Youde began his speech.
"Gentlemen, I am delighted that you have taken time out of your busy schedules to attend the power-on ceremony in Luomen City!"
Unlike Zhou Yan's disgust, Wei Youde, standing on the high platform, had a flushed face and a vigorous spirit that was not at all like someone his age.
"But at the same time, I am also very sorry, because it took us so long to build our first power plant in Rome."
Zhou Yan walked to the backstage of the high platform, where several of the crew members brought by Little Yama stood. One of them winked at Zhou Yan.
"Old Wei has spent his whole life as a low-level civil servant. Now that he finally gets to give a speech as mayor, he must be incredibly excited. He'll probably be talking all night."
The rest of the middle-aged people nodded silently.
Zhou Yan glanced at the group of people and then reassured them.
"Don't be envious. Other cities will also need your efforts in the future, and then you will all have the opportunity to give speeches."
The people around them wanted this promise, and their faces lit up with smiles.
"Hey, Councilor Zhou, do you have a moment?"
Wearing a black trench coat, Liu Nanshan squeezed out from Zhou Yan's group of men and slowly walked up to Zhou Yan.
"Mr. Zhou, you look even more dashing than I have in the past two weeks."
Liu Nanshan extended his hand to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan glanced at him and then grasped Liu Nanshan's hand.
Liu Nanshan is the richest man in Dongyang Prefecture. He owns half of Dongyang Prefecture. Because of his wealth, when Zhou Yan and others came to Dongyang Prefecture to quell the riots, Liu Nanshan was vacationing in the safest city in a nearby prefecture, indulging in all sorts of eating, drinking and having fun.
Now that Zhou Yan has brought Luomen City under control and the power plant has started generating electricity, this richest man can no longer pretend to know nothing.
Liu Nanshan shook the hand he was holding in his hand, and said with a smile.
“Councilor Zhou, I have already joined forces with other wealthy individuals in Luomen City to invest in building a factory here. I hope your government can provide some assistance when the time comes.”
Zhou Yan glanced at the group of his men behind the wealthy man.
"You can talk to Lao Wang and the others later."
Zhou Yan released Liu Nanshan's hand. He didn't understand these political affairs and was a little afraid of being fooled by Liu Nanshan, so it was more appropriate to hand them over to the team that Xiao Yanjun had recommended.
The Eastern United States once had a Minister of Health. At that time, a highly contagious infectious disease broke out in the Tulip State of the Eastern United States. In response, the Minister of Health listened to the advice of one of his expert advisors and purchased enough vaccines to be available to every resident of Tulip State.
Only after the purchase did some experts call the Minister of Health, saying that this vaccine should only be distributed to 30% of the population, and that any more would be a waste.
Later, the Minister of Health discovered that his expert advisors had been bribed by the vaccine company. What to do with the extra vaccines?
The only option is to send it out as aid to other countries.
In this era, the specialization of various professions has become very detailed. Even graduates from top universities cannot possibly understand all the classifications within their own industry. As a result, the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Xia United Kingdom have been deceived by their own consultants and experts more than once or twice.
Zhou Yan has no desire to become the Minister of Health.
"Wait a moment."
Liu Nanshan watched Zhou Yan leave, then quickly walked to Zhou Yan's side and whispered.
“Councilor Zhou, to be honest, I have something I’d like to talk to you about, something between the two of us.”
Zhou Yan looked at Liu Nanshan with a puzzled expression, and Liu Nanshan gritted his teeth and said.
"It's very important!"
