Just as they were stunned, the tanker truck's drain outlet suddenly opened, and the white stuff coming out wasn't water, but fish.
As everyone watched the lively fish surge into the huge pool, their mouths agape in astonishment. They hadn't seen aquatic life in so long, and the sight of tens of thousands of fish swimming in the water was truly astonishing.
The group carefully walked to the edge of the lawn, watching the fish swimming around in the pond, and seeing a lot of duckweed being thrown into the water. Some people couldn't resist scooping up the water with their hands, and a fish immediately darted into their palms.
"It really is fish! It really is fish! So many fish!" the man exclaimed. Everyone gathered around the pool, reluctant to leave. After all, so much had happened that day that they couldn't quite process it all.
After everyone finished exclaiming in amazement, someone immediately approached Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, I... I have a favor to ask. Could you please let my family come over? My child is still young, but my wife is a working adult, and I'd like her to come work here!"
Seeing the eager look in their eyes, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then slowly nodded: "Of course you can, otherwise why would I build such a big house? This is the house left for you. You can bring your families here. However, let's make it clear beforehand that while bringing them here is possible, everyone must abide by the rules and regulations of our future company!"
Upon hearing this, the man was overjoyed and almost knelt down before Lu Yuan. He quickly replied, "Of course! Of course! I will definitely discipline my family properly! Thank you so much, Mr. Lu, you are our savior!"
"Mr. Lu, I'd also like to bring my wife over here!"
"Mr. Lu, could you please bring my grandparents over? I'd like them to come too!"
“…”
The crowd surged toward Lu Yuan, chattering excitedly, while Chen Kaiming, standing to the side, beamed with joy.
So he raised his hand to reassure everyone: "Don't worry, everyone can bring their family members over, but you need to register at our management office first, and then you can bring your family members over!"
Another burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone was all smiles.
Another week has passed, and there are many more people in the camp. Some of them are the laborers' family members, and some are newly joined team members. The number of people in the entire mining area has now surged to more than 700, and there are still many houses left over from the new construction.
The first batch of fish had already been served, and everyone at the table ate the fish heartily. A sense of satisfaction welled up in their hearts, and some people even shed tears while eating. They had forgotten how long it had been since they had experienced such a wonderful life.
…
Those living far inside the inner city are not having a very good time.
Because of the expansion of the mining area, the upper echelons had already been emptied of their pockets, so Liu Tianhu had no choice but to order Ye Hua to issue a policy to increase the tax rate.
After all, the amount of money required to live in the inner city was already quite high, but now a new policy of raising the tax rate has suddenly been introduced, making it difficult for them to continue. Many people have been forced to take to the streets to protest against the tax rate increase, but they have been met with various forms of violent suppression by the garrison.
Standing on the top floor of the headquarters building, Liu Tianhu looked at the crowds on the street through the floor-to-ceiling windows and felt a surge of anger.
"These damned bastards are out protesting again! Do they think we're weak and can't be bullied? Send me more men right now, and shoot anyone who resists!"
A cold glint flashed in Liu Tianhu's eyes. He had no pity for these people. When he encountered resistance, his favorite method was to kill them directly. Only in this way could he better suppress their rebellious spirit.
Standing not far away, Ye Hua suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If Liu Tianhu continued down this path, sooner or later these people would launch an even stronger resistance, which the garrison of several thousand men would simply be unable to withstand.
If that scene were to actually occur, the tragedy of rivers of blood might repeat itself. As the highest-ranking official in the entire region, Ye Hua couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. It seemed that his time as a puppet leader was not far off.
However, Ye Hua was powerless against Liu Tianhu's tyranny, and he could only accept his fate. Since he did not have the power over the corpse, he could only let Liu Tianhu do as he pleased, and he had no ability to resist. If he really wanted to resist, he would probably face execution.
The order was quickly issued, and gunshots rang out in the streets. Then, people began to flee in all directions. Many fell in pools of blood under the suppression of the garrison, and many more were trampled to the ground in the chaos. All sorts of tragedies were happening all the time, and this chaos began to spread throughout the inner city.
Liu Tianhu acted as if nothing had happened, still smoking his expensive cigar and drinking top-quality red wine while watching the tragedies unfolding downstairs.
After witnessing this tragedy, Liu Tianhu couldn't help but recall an incident, so he quickly turned around and asked Secretary Cao beside him.
"Xiao Cao, I've completely forgotten about it lately. I haven't heard anything from the people at Future Company at all!"
