The same scene was happening in various departments throughout the camp.
After this rule was issued, the entire city was in an uproar.
No one expected that their plan to get free food would be thwarted.
It's now mandatory; they pray morning and night, and there are people coming to check on them.
The thought of that awkward scene made everyone look helpless.
Lu Yuan continued to wait in his office.
It was a little after 5 p.m.
The members of the black-robed group returned to report on their situation.
There was no opposition from any department, which was exactly what Lu Yuan had expected.
After all, they were just asked to pray; they weren't actually asked to do anything.
Lu Yuan felt that they should be able to understand him.
However, at first people may not understand why they say this.
After all, voluntary and forced behaviors will produce two different reactions.
Some people know that once others get used to the situation, their initial resistance will gradually disappear if new people join in.
Lu Yuan knew that a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one. Rather than waiting for the population to continue to increase and then implementing the policy later, it was better to implement it now.
After all, with a large population comes many more issues, and if we want to fully implement it later, we won't have such a good opportunity as we do now.
Only by taking advantage of the relatively small number of people in the camp, and by slowly influencing the surrounding people with just a few tens of thousands of people, can a stable path to survival be established.
In the following period, Lu Yuan's rate of gaining gratitude points decreased significantly compared to before.
Although it has been enforced, this enforcement has aroused a strong resistance from many people.
The family members were very worried about this situation.
Because they had sensed the hostile gazes of some people in the camp while living outside.
They had a vague feeling that something might be wrong.
The relationship between the government and the old man has not yet been improved in the public eye.
So if you want to meet someone, you basically have to disguise yourself and sneak into a secluded place to meet.
Although this kind of life is very hard, in order to cover up the fact that Lu Yuan has deceived them, this matter must continue.
That evening, Lu Yuan and his family gathered together; they hadn't been together for a long time.
The family members all wore expressions of relief.
The old man planted some higher-end ingredients in the vegetable garden, and Xiao Shan secretly delivered those ingredients to him.
This includes tomatoes, eggplants, and various other vegetables.
Lu Yuan hadn't eaten this kind of food in a long time. Back when they had their dimensional space, they could eat whatever they wanted.
However, after disappearing from the space, it became almost impossible to eat this kind of thing.
Later, when the dimensional space reopened, they could only raise some poultry and livestock and eat some meat.
Vegetables are now very rare to eat.
Occasionally, Qiao Ya might have a moment of kindness and give some of the food she developed to Lu Yuan.
However, the plants that Qiao Ya studied generally did not taste very good. Her current research focuses on the ability of plants to adapt to their environment and their growth rate.
Whether the crops taste good or not is not within her consideration.
But the old man and his family are indeed quite good at this kind of food.
Looking at these ingredients, Lu Yuan's mouth watered.
Then the old man brought out a batch of handmade beef balls, as well as various kinds of crab and shrimp dumplings.
Lu Yuan's mouth watered when he saw it; they were going to have hot pot tonight!
So the family got busy.
Lu Yuan had been craving boiled fish, hot pot, and barbecue for dinner for a very long time.
He had already forgotten what hot pot tasted like, and how tender and smooth boiled fish really was.
The family sat around the stove, chatting and roasting the prepared ingredients.
Oil sizzled on the hot plate, releasing a fragrant aroma.
Lu Yuan saw that the ingredients, which had shriveled from being roasted over the fire, were lightly brushed with vegetable oil and various seasonings, which were then sprinkled on top and fell into the fire, emitting a rich aroma.
Lu Yuan swallowed hard and couldn't wait to stuff a shiny piece of eggplant into his mouth.
Although it was very hot, Lu Yuan was extremely satisfied. He finished it in one bite and then took another.
Lu Yuan ate with great relish.
Seeing Lu Yuan like this, the old man and his family all laughed.
"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you. You can have all of these if you want. I'll plant some more of these things later. The beans at home have already grown their first crop, and the second crop should be out soon!"
Lu Yuan nodded as he ate.
"Yes, the beans at home grow faster, after all, the black soil there is much better than the soil we usually have."
The speed should be about ten times that of ordinary land. If I can get some more gratitude points next time, I'll exchange them for some more land. However, it's not advisable to plant too much on this land; just a little bit is enough. We'll save some for our own planting!
The old man nodded gently, then lightly turned the food on the grill.
"By the way, we still need to prepare those seeds and stuff. I saw that they've cleared out several dozen acres of land over the back hill!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. The reclamation of Zone 3 had entered its final stage.
They have already designated all the arable land, and almost everyone in the camp can get a piece of land.
However, this was far too little for Lu Yuan; a hundred square meters of land was far from enough to store grain.
His idea was that everyone should have at least a few acres of land in the future. After the annual harvest, each household could send any surplus grain to the granary to exchange for other goods and supplies.
Lu Yuan did not intend to become a large landowner and hoard grain.
He wanted to exchange this grain for other things.
Therefore, he now needs to develop not only the food sector, but also the industrial sector.
However, due to the lack of energy materials, their industry has almost come to a standstill.
Almost all industries have been replaced by manual labor.
