After receiving authorization from the Archon, Jiang Fei began to build things in the gamma space. Whether it was the destroyed streets or the Archon’s mansion, they all needed to be repaired or rebuilt.
In these projects, a large number of the poor became the labor force. During the financial crisis, the unemployment wave had not yet subsided. Most of the people had no jobs and could not support their families, therefore, although the income that Jiang Fei provided was not particularly high, it was still better than nothing. In order to be able to eat, a large number of poor people joined in enthusiastically.
In this way, the poor people received their wages after working. They were able to buy food and daily necessities so that their families could survive, meanwhile, the government quickly completed a large number of infrastructure repairs and reconstruction.
Under the instructions of the governor, the bank printed a batch of currency as the initial capital that the government had invested. As the government was not short of money for the time being, the currency did not need to be printed anymore, as long as it was printed according to the normal demand, the small amount of additional currency did not cause too much of an impact on the financial system. It was quickly digested by the market.
Therefore, after Jiang Fei took over the baton, the entire gamma space instantly became prosperous. Although it could not repair the damage caused by the financial crisis in a short period of time, at least it gave everyone hope, the People’s request was actually very simple. Sometimes, just a little bit of hope was enough for them to struggle through the hardships.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Jiang Fei’s relief work had gone very smoothly. However, the magistrate had never approved the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center. This made Jiang Fei very unhappy.
Jiang Fei had done so much because he wanted to take the opportunity to rebuild the life extension center to see if there was a hidden space underground and if the snow beast was there.
Unfortunately, the Archon had approved all the other reconstruction projects. However, the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center had been temporarily suppressed.
In fact, the Archon had suppressed the reconstruction of the life extension center not because he was deliberately wary of Jiang Fei. Instead, he was worried that some evil people would take the opportunity to infiltrate the migrant workers and cause damage to the life extension center, therefore, he had never made up his mind about the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center.
However, the life extension center was very important to the entire gamma space. Now that the Archon’s clone factory had been destroyed, the Life Extension Center became the only way to replenish the population, if this place continued to be abandoned, the human population in the gamma space would fall into negative growth. If this continued for a long time, the survival of the entire gamma space would be threatened.
However, the more the Archon refused to approve the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center, the more Jiang Fei was convinced that the snow beast was underground.
Time passed day by day. As there were not many streets that had been destroyed, a large number of poor people joined the project to provide food for the needy. The reconstruction of the streets was very fast. It took about two weeks, the destroyed streets had been completely rebuilt. Jiang Fei even had the poor renovate the newly built houses under the guidance of professional workers.
Even so, two weeks later, Jiang Fei faced the first problem — the workers had no more work to do!
After all, the gamma space could not compare to the advanced civilizations in the three-dimensional universe. It could not even be compared to Earth. This place was only the size of a palm. It could be counted as such a city, it was just a large area around it.
The size of the gamma space made it so that there were not many projects that could be done here. However, using work as relief was not something that could change the fate of the poor in a short period of time. Once the project was stopped, the workers would lose their jobs again, then, they would return to their previous poor state.
“Sir, the workers have no more work now. If you do not approve the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center, we will have to find other jobs for them. Otherwise, once the project is stopped, our previous efforts will be in vain!”Jiang Fei said to the magistrate.
“Do we have to continue like this forever? If that is the case, so what if we rebuild the Life Extension Center? We can not always provide them with jobs!”The consul asked.
“For a short period of time, we have to provide them with jobs. We can only stop the project after they have accumulated some initial wealth,”Jiang Fei said.
“How long will that take?”The magistrate asked.
“At least two to three years! Or even ten years!”Jiang Fei replied.
“That long?”The magistrate frowned.
“Unless you want to let one of the ghettos exist and one of them struggle on the food and clothing line. In that case, if there is any movement, these people will instantly become the most dangerous thugs!”! To be honest, the magistrate had always been short-sighted. If he could mobilize these poor people, it would be difficult to say anything,”Jiang Fei said.
“Uh…”the magistrate was speechless. He knew that Jiang Fei was not lying. At that time, it was really not difficult for the magistrate to incite these poor people. He did not even have to pay much. He just had to draw a big cake for these poor people.., these people would play the name game with him.
Moreover, most of the poor people in the gamma space. Once these people rebelled, it would be a huge threat to the magistrate.
“As long as they have property, will they be able to settle down?”The magistrate asked.
“Of course! Sir, haven’t you heard of it? As the saying goes, those who have property have perseverance!”Jiang Fei said.
“Tell me about it!”The consul had never heard of it before.
“Sir, you also know that there are costs involved in a rebellion. For example, the magistrate. If he failed in his rebellion, the outcome would be predictable. The same goes for the common people. As long as they could survive, who would be willing to risk their lives for a rebellion? If they followed the rebellion, it could only mean that they were really desperate,”Jiang Fei said.
“So?”The consul asked thoughtfully.
“So, as I said earlier, those who have property have perseverance. You told the common people that being loyal to the king and the country is nonsense. He can’t even afford to eat. Why would he care so much? In comparison, if he had a certain amount of assets, would he support the revolution of others? Not only would he not, he would even join you in protecting the government and his assets!”Jiang Fei said.
“That seems to make sense!”The consul nodded.
“My lord, this is just a little idea of mine. If you think it’s useful, just listen. If you think it’s useless, just take it as I’m talking nonsense…”Jiang Fei said with a smile.
“HMM, let me think about it!”The consul nodded.
