Chapter 280
Old Li had already helped Tang Yu'an keep an eye out for good candidates for bus drivers on Line 2 and Line 3.
After all, the construction team of the home has been repairing the road, and there must be more than one bus, so after Shugen was recruited, Lao Li began to select the second batch of drivers.
A week ago, the second batch of novice drivers started working and were trained by Shugen.
I was originally planning to take turns with Shugen in the future. After all, Shugen's lunch box business is getting more and more prosperous, and it is really a waste of talent to keep him tied to Line 1.
Unfortunately, now that bus lines 2 and 3 have been opened, the two newcomers have a place to go, and the shift system will have to be postponed again.
Shugen didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the bus route was finally improving and becoming prosperous, and he was very happy.
As a result, three bus routes, namely "Huangcheng Home-Jufeng Mountain", "Jufeng Mountain-Linhai Home", and "Linhai Town Center-Guanyu Village", were officially put into operation, which marked the initial establishment of a transportation network.
The "Linhai Town Center-Guanyu Village" line has five villages along the way, so it has more stops than the other two lines.
It is conceivable that Line 3 will probably catch up and become the busiest line in the future.
Of course, this will also help drive the other two lines, because the deserted city home is currently the most suitable place to live.
With blue beech trees that can regulate the temperature and star chain vines that can enrich the soil with nutrients, this place has become the most vibrant place in this snow-covered world.
Almost everyone who comes here wants to stay, and those who succeed in staying here will want to bring their friends and family with them.
So outside the deserted city, there are people coming every day to seek work opportunities.
The deserted city home also began its second expansion.
Because of the arrival of the cold disaster and food shortage, the people in Huangcheng Home expanded the area of cultivated land and the scale of the farms.
In addition, the first food processing plant in the homeland was officially established.
The food processing plant mainly processes potatoes, sweet potatoes and star fruit. Its current products include potato chips, sweet potato chips, potato flour, potato starch and dried fruits.
This type of product is durable in storage, and the processing procedure is not complicated except that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
What the homeland lacks the least now is labor. Whether it is the tens of thousands of people in Linhai Town or the hundreds of thousands of immigrants in Zitian Fort in the future, jobs need to be arranged so that they can support themselves in the future.
It is obviously not enough to just rely on restrictions on overnight stay rules without solving the employment problem.
Otherwise, such a large population will not only be unable to create value, but will also become an unstable factor.
In addition to plant-based processed products, meat, egg and milk processing plants are also under preparation.
At this time, the cultivation of talents becomes increasingly important.
Fortunately, there are people Zhou Qi brought back from the original world. Although they are a little older, they are more than qualified to serve as teaching staff.
The chat room on the first floor of the dormitory building has now been set eyes on by Old Li, who plans to transform it into a night school.
As for the venues for movies and entertainment and leisure, they were moved to outdoor squares.
Anyway, now that we have the blue beech forest, the house is very warm even at night, and we can just put up a screen to play movies.
Playing movies in a square with no lights not only has better visual effects, but the screen is also much larger than indoors.
Now that there are more residents in the home, everyone no longer has to squeeze into a cramped room.
Of course, the home no longer provides snacks and water. Residents can bring their own or buy them at stalls in the square, which can be considered a new way to generate income.
The night school recruits adults who want to go further and serves as a talent training base for the home.
After all, waiting for the children in the school to grow up is too slow, which is far behind the development speed of the home.
When Tang Yu'an saw the "Talent Training Plan" submitted by Old Li, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Grandpa is really thoughtful!"
Old Li smiled and shook his head. "I'm just repeating what others have said. I learned all this from the books you brought back home."
After all, he had just graduated from high school when the catastrophe occurred, and he had never done any management work. All the decisions he had made so far were based on his experience and life experience.
However, as the home grew larger, his experience began to fall behind.
Fortunately, the books that Tang Yu'an and his friends brought back from the original world and the film and television works obtained from the USB flash drive gave him a lot of inspiration.
Although the words and information recorded in those books were obviously different from what he knew...
But he could understand it, and some of the knowledge was universal.
"It's a life-long learning journey," said Old Li with a smile.
Tang Yu'an was also surprised to hear his words. He didn't expect that the books his parents took back would really play a role!
"Grandpa, do you need any books or videos? I'll find a way to get them for you!"
"Not needed for now, but..."
Old Li paused and said, "We might as well bring back a few more of those old people from the alien planet."
The origins of those 39 people from the original world could not be concealed, and of course Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had never thought of hiding it.
After all, when the plane teleportation array is built in the future, they want people from the two worlds to be able to support each other, so it’s okay to just get some fresh air now.
And Zhou Qi had previously told those people in the original world that they had arrived in another world—
However, in the eyes of Liu Changguo and others, they had arrived on another planet.
The environment of this planet is very harsh, but the people living here look similar to them, speak a similar language, and use a similar writing system.
So the people here must have immigrated from Earth! The country has done something big behind their backs!
Because they were firm in their belief and Old Li couldn't find any loopholes, he accepted the "alien planet" theory.
As for the other residents, they were only amazed that the business scope of the God of Commerce was so wide that it had even expanded to outer space, and their faith in the God of Commerce became even more devout.
Old Li does welcome these "aliens".
Compared with the local illiterate people who often cannot understand what people say, they are much more knowledgeable. Although they are a little spoiled, they are simple-minded, warm and polite to others, and will be very obedient if they are coaxed a little.
Even though she has some little thoughts, she is still quite cute in the eyes of old Li, who has seen great evil.
Unfortunately, those 16 pregnant women need to stay in confinement after giving birth, and then take maternity leave, and cannot work for at least half a year.
Otherwise, these innocent and pure girls are also very useful talents...
In short, these "aliens" are quite easy for Old Li to use, so he really doesn't mind getting more.
Tang Yu'an could only play dumb, "Grandpa, they were brought here by the God's Messenger, there's nothing I can do."
"Oh well."
Old Li nodded. "Is there anything wrong with this plan?"
"I think so."
"Well, let's do it this way."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Grandpa!"
Only after the call ended did Tang Yu'an breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the chat history of the family channel, he pursed his lips slightly, then put away his melancholy and continued to think about other things.
At this moment, the system information suddenly popped up.
[Experience value is full, merchant level +1]
[Merchant level reaches lv27. New items available for exchange include nuts, braised eggs, carbonated drinks, vitamin gummies, and multi-purpose knives. For details, please visit the "Wholesale Market"]
[Portable storage slots +2, total slots: 34, authorized slots +1, current authorized slots: 8]
[New overnight card, new guard barrier merging function, please visit the "Shop" for details]
[Seven-day special sale refresh card +1]
Wow! Another level up!
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but laugh, and quickly took a look at the upgrade rewards.
When he saw the vitamin gummies, he quickly opened redemption for his parents and Zhou Qi.
In the end times, the food source is single and it is easy to lack vitamins. This kind of vitamin gummies are very good. They can not only replenish energy but also provide the nutrients that the body lacks.
Tang Yu'an also exchanged for a pack himself. He felt that it was chewy, sour and sweet, and very delicious.
Then he looked at the other rewards.
He did not authorize Zhou Qi to use this newly added authorization box, but gave it to Tang Xueyun alone.
When the next level is unlocked, I will give one to my dad separately, so that everyone’s personal belongings can be kept separate and don’t have to be mixed with others.
"Overnight stay card?"
Tang Yu'an blinked and quickly opened the overnight stay list interface, and saw that there was indeed an "Overnight Stay Card" function button in the upper right corner.
【Overnight Card】
[Price: 10 points/ticket]
[Description: After obtaining a blank overnight accommodation card, the customer will be bound to the overnight accommodation card, and their name will automatically appear on the overnight accommodation list. Other functions of the overnight accommodation card can be set.]
【Night stay card function settings】
[1. Cancel overnight card binding: After the customer obtains the overnight card, his/her name will automatically appear on the overnight list. Exchange is limited (10 points/card)]
[2. Renewal of overnight accommodation card: You can deposit points into the overnight accommodation card, consuming 1 point per natural day. When the points reach zero, the overnight accommodation card will be automatically withdrawn and the customer will lose the right to stay overnight (10 points per card)]
【Unlock more features after upgrading】
Looking at the function settings of the overnight card, Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up.
In other words, once there is an overnight stay card, he or his employees will no longer need to manually add overnight stays to the list?
And there is also a renewal function!
In this way, residents will actively pay rent, otherwise once their points are reduced to zero, they will be automatically sent out by the protective barrier!
As homes get bigger and more complex, confusion is inevitable, and residents occasionally default on rent.
Although the problems were solved successfully in the end, it is conceivable that with more and more residents in the future, such situations will inevitably occur less frequently.
There are many people who forget the pain after the scar has healed, especially those who grew up in the wasteland. It is obviously not easy to ask them to always abide by the spirit of the contract.
Now with the automatic recycling function of overnight card points when they are reset to zero, you don’t need to worry about this problem!
Tang Yu'an narrowed his eyes and smiled, and then studied another new function -
[Unlock the Guardian Barrier Merge function (need to deduct 10,000 store popularity points and 200,000 points)]
Guardian barrier merging function? What does this mean? After carefully reviewing the rules, he finally understood.
When the protection barriers of multiple branches overlap in the same area, you can merge the protection barriers of the branches after unlocking this function.
After the merger, the benefits are probably that the upper limit of overnight accommodation quota will increase and become the sum of multiple branches!
After figuring out this function, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but feel surprised.
Currently, the upper limit of the overnight accommodation list is only over 111,000. If there are only Huangcheng Home, Jufeng Mountain and Linhai Town, it is naturally more than enough.
However, there are still hundreds of thousands of people waiting to immigrate in Zitian Fort, and this number is definitely not enough.
Now both Linhai Town and Jufeng Mountain are using the protective barrier of No. 1 Store. Even if the stores in these two places are upgraded and the protective barrier is expanded, conflicts will arise.
Because if customers want to circulate personnel at that time, they will need to have the permission to stay overnight in three stores at the same time.
As a result, there will be a shortage of overnight accommodation places.
Tang Yu'an originally thought that the overnight card might be able to temporarily solve this problem, but he didn't expect that the second function would be more practical!
Although each branch needs to be unlocked and requires 200,000 points, this is nothing for him who has millions of points.
Unfortunately, there is a limit on store popularity, which is as high as 10,000 points. Otherwise, he could increase the upper limit of overnight stays indefinitely by building and upgrading branches in the same area.
But it’s enough for now!
Tang Yu'an immediately spent points and store popularity to unlock the combined protective barrier function of the three branches in Huangcheng, Jufeng and Linhai.
In this way, the upper limit of the overnight stay list has been raised to more than 140,000. Once the other two stores are upgraded to level 3, it will exceed 330,000.
It’s a pity that the popularity of Hongli’s Wei Suo Grocery Store is not yet 10,000, otherwise it could be a little more if they were merged.
Speaking of which——
Although Linhai Town cannot use the newly discovered rules to enclose land, but...
What about Jufeng Mountain?
As the owner of the mountain, Sister Hongli should own the Jufeng Mountain, right?
Anyway, she had already donated the garrison to the Shangshen Sect, so the addition of a Jufeng Mountain shouldn't be a big deal, right?
If this is feasible, the entire Jufeng Mountain can be covered in a protective barrier, and the range of activities of the mountain people can be greatly increased!
Do it as soon as you think of it. After discussing with Zhou Qi, Tang Yu'an sent a task to Hongli.
