I Don’t Want To Be Cold Anymore

Chapter 99: enslaved by money

"Then go have a look." Ding Wen wanted to see more.

The situation in Shanbian Village actually made him want to do something.

But the problem here is not that an evil village owner is squeezing everyone.

In other words, it does not mean that changing the village owner can change it.

Even changing a village owner can't even improve for a period of time.

The evil village owner of the Daqing faction, get rid of it and replace it with a humane one who is not so greedy, at least for a few years.

Therefore, Ding Wen would directly eliminate evil at that time, just like cleaning the house every day, and he had to do it for a while.

The situation in the mountainside village of Linfeng City is that people are squeezed by the system, and changing the village owner has no effect.

The people here, even if they are being tortured, feel that their situation is bad, so they can only admit it.

To change the situation in Linfeng City, Ding Wen knew that he had to solve an evil to change it!

That evil—that is, the system maker here.

Although Ding Wen hadn't met, he was quite sure that the hobby of the chaotic body of the lord of Linfeng City was the love of money.

Leaving Shanbian Village and on the way to Linfeng City, all the inns, restaurants, and grocery stores that I encountered were sold by government officials.

Ding Wen inquired about Qian when he was eating, and heard the shopkeeper say: "How can these unofficial things work? Privately opened, the pillows and cups are stuffed with rotten cotton, one is caught and one is killed, and the people who work in the City Lord's Mansion can't live on the road when they go out. Go to a few serious inns. Officials sell the price according to the rules, and there are clear regulations on how much the price will be raised in the peak season and how much the price will be reduced in the off-season.

Ding Wen thought about the big opening of the lion of the hunter in Shanbian Village. These words are based on reality. However, in fact, the problem is not whether it is government-run or not, but that the price of making unscrupulous money is too small.

The root of it is that people in Linfeng City regard money as the only thing, and making black money is a matter of course. Those who don't make such money will definitely be regarded as fools by the people in Linfeng City.

So it's not official, there are only black-hearted stores.

As for why the city lord doesn't let the people who make black money pay a big enough price?

Obviously, that requires matching a large number of inspectors, which will increase the public expenditure of the City Lord's Mansion.

In contrast, instead of increasing expenses, it is better to run it all by the government, and let the City Lord's Mansion earn all the money becomes the last option.

When the lord of Linfeng City was solving the problem, he chose money over the citizens.

The villages passing by along the way, I thought it was different from Shanbian Village, but it turned out that there were more than a dozen villages along the way, and none of them were normal.

There is no village, it is a normal state...

The villagers are all indebted prisoners.

In the village, the resource officer, the village owner, and the people who work in the office are not prisoners, but they also have debts, but their monthly income is enough to cover the interest on the debt, and they have been able to pay back the money on a regular basis.

The village owner in the village is not rich either.

Because there is no real power, the production and mining of materials must be handed over in full.

The village owner is not loyal to his duty and not greedy, but Linfeng City has a very powerful rule-reporting greed and illegal things for profit, the whistleblower can be protected, and at a minimum, it can be arranged to a place far away from the original place. They can also get one-tenth to three-tenths of the property confiscated in the reported incident; in some cases, they can also take the position of the person who was reported.

In other words, the village chief was bribery and was reported by the person in charge of bookkeeping. It was certain that he would go bankrupt, sell his children, and carry a debt that could not be repaid for ten lifetimes.

The person who reported the report can directly replace the person who was reported as the village head. One-tenth of the money confiscated by the punished village head will go to the reporter. If it is not enough to meet the reward standard, the income of the village head’s family’s future production and labor will continue to be paid as ten percent. One of the proportions is reimbursed to the City Lord's Mansion and the whistleblower.

Under this system, the interests of the whistleblower and the City Lord's Mansion are the same. If the whistleblower is good, so is the City Lord's Mansion.

Whoever is greedy is making extra contributions to the whistleblower and the City Lord's Mansion.

No matter how kind the village owner treats those who cooperate and embezzle, there is no way that the benefits given can be greater than reporting.

The fine for reporting is calculated at ten times the output of the village chief, and one tenth of the ten times is not enough for the village chief's entire property, not to mention the benefit of directly replacing the village chief's position.

As the village owner, what he thinks is not to be greedy, but to always prevent people from being framed and framed, so the accounts of the output must be clear, lest they be designed and framed.

Ding Wen was eating and continued to ask the villagers who were cooking: "You have been in the village, why are you imprisoned because you can't pay your debts?"

"I was sold since I was born. My parents are the losers in debt! They are prisoners. My mother gives birth to one child every year. The bonus from having a child and the money from selling the child are all used to repay the debt. In the past two years, the harvest was not good, and the rent of the house could not be paid. Later, I lived in a straw hut, and the rent of the land had to be paid for the straw hut. Go bankrupt!"

"This kind of situation is quite common in Linfeng City?" Ding Wen also heard stories like this in other villages. The villagers in Linfeng City have to pay for their houses. They build their own grass huts or sleep in the wilderness. To pay the standard range of land occupation fees.

Even if you buy a house yourself, you have to pay the land occupation fee proportionally, but it is much cheaper than the rent.

Buying a house is very expensive~www.readwn.com~ It is usually handed down from ancestors, and it is impossible to buy it with one or two generations.

"It's all like this. There are not many villages that are not criminal villages. Even if they are not, they will be. We have only the great city lord here. We will always make money. In his words, he even revealed his admiration for the City Lord Linfeng...

"Is there any exception?" Ding Wen asked curiously.

"There is one in the village next door, it is lucky, the grandfather's generation can give birth, one a year, eighteen are born, and thirteen are supported, all of them get married at the age of fourteen, and have children, one a year. Life and life are good, and half of them have survived. In the third generation, they collected money and donated it to the city owner, squeezing out the original village owner and becoming the village owner. The three generations survived starvation.

"There are rewards for giving birth to children in Linfeng City, and the population is increasing rapidly. There are so many things for so many people to do?" Ding Wen was quite curious, because of the situation in Hongyuan Mountain City, after the Colosseum is gone, the City Lord's Mansion has to pay for it. Give jobs to many unemployed people.

"Open up wasteland! Dig mountains and plains to grow food, collect herbs, and mine. Those who can't fit in are in the rebirth square in the city."

"What is Rebirth Square?" Ding Wen was curious.

"A place to buy and sell prisoners, no matter how lucky you are, or the buyer you meet, it's like you've been reborn and changed your life."

"I see..." Ding Wen felt that the name of the rebirth square was too appropriate.

Of course, Ding Wen will go to see the Rebirth Square.

Linfeng City, from a distance, the city walls are painted with gold paint, and the light shines brightly, as if the entire city is made of gold.

The lord of Linfeng City is fond of wealth, and it is only natural that the city will be painted gold.

Enter the city and ask for money.
