The issues that Su Hui and Fan Miaomiao are concerned about are also the concerns of most people.
Currently, the main checkpoints and roads of the Sixth Settlement are controlled by the Guard. It can be said that although Weren is not currently the leader of the Settlement,
However, he also had the ability to control the entire settlement; with a single order from Wei Lun, anyone could lose their head.
“I know everyone is concerned about the future of the community. I want to abolish the shareholding system and replace it with a cabinet system. The community can have just one leader. Without the shareholding system, it is easy to cause disputes. As for the cabinet, it will be elected. Initially, you can all serve as cabinet members.”
Wei Lun briefly explained his thoughts, and it was clear that the interests of some people were affected.
Yuri, the agent from another settlement, was extremely indignant.
"Weilun, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think you can take over the entire settlement with just over two hundred people? Do you know what you're facing?"
Yuri has a strong backing from numerous communities, and now he's suddenly switching to a cabinet system. While most people don't really care, as long as they're safe, that's all that matters.
However, Yuri clearly couldn't accept this. The other settlements had sent him to invest precisely because they were interested in the profitability of the Sixth Settlement.
Now that Cai Zhenshao is gone, the shareholder system is going to be abolished, and Yuri absolutely cannot agree to that.
“Weilun, I’m warning you, don’t provoke the wrath of the masses. If other settlements find out, you will face a massive army attack, which you don’t have the strength for.”
Yuri was full of confidence. If the other settlements joined forces to attack, then even if Weren had control of the entire Sixth Settlement, it would be useless. In less than an hour, it would be breached and he would be captured.
Seeing the indifferent expressions on everyone's faces, Wei Lun understood that things would need to change gradually.
“Yuri, I know you represent the interests of other settlements. Rest assured, we can continue on this basis, but we will change the method and no longer use the shareholding system.”
Weren did not directly clash with Yuri. He was well aware that those who had just become high-ranking members of the settlement were not yet fully aware of the outside world's situation.
If they offend the wrong person at this crucial moment, the future of the entire guard will be uncertain.
Having received Wei Lun's concession, Yuri was smug. He gave a cold snort and said nothing more.
Next, many important figures from the Sixth Gathering also participated in the discussion.
Weren also shared his views on the matter of the guard forces.
The original guards can continue to serve, but they will need to be fitted with BM chips, undergo iodine-based radiation protection, receive a T-virus vaccine, and be given a Level 2 enhancement agent. All of these costs will be borne by Weren.
This is a huge expense, but the overall defense capabilities have been enhanced, which is something everyone wants to see, as it means the Sixth Settlement will be much safer in the future.
However, now the guards will be selected through multiple rounds of screening, and those who are not qualified or are merely filling in will be eliminated.
The conference discussed various matters, and after three hours...
The announcement from the highest level echoed once again above the gathering place.
"Residents of the Sixth Settlement, hereby notified that the settlement has been changed to a cabinet system, with Hou Houlun as the leader of the settlement. The cabinet is being formed in an orderly manner. Please rest assured and we will keep you informed."
The gathering place became lively at this time.
The original shareholding system of the Sixth Gathering Place was an unattainable position for everyone; it was simply impossible to climb into the upper echelons.
Now that the system has been changed to a cabinet system, it means that there may be elections in the future. Elected officials are more likely to come from the common people, which means that everyone has more opportunities to rise in the ranks.
Most importantly, the sixth settlement will only have one leader. As long as this person is not offended, no one else can change their lives or living space.
"Did you hear the announcement? We're switching to a cabinet system immediately!"
"Yeah, but it probably won't be an election system when it's first established?"
"There might be opportunities in the future, but with professional officials, our lives might be much better."
"You should just go out and find food. If you want to live well, you have to rely on yourself."
...
The people in the gathering place were talking about it.
Elsewhere, Wei Lun was searching the residences of Cai Zhenshao and Gu Zun.
The results were astonishing. Cai Zhenshao's residence contained countless gold and silver treasures, as well as boxes upon boxes of zombie crystal cores—he was a true tycoon.
As for Gu Zun, he should not be underestimated at all, even though his residence looks quite ordinary.
However, at least several boxes of gold bars and millions of zombie crystal cores were found in Gu Zun's residence, which were probably all embezzled or robbed from others in the past.
Wei Lun got a good deal.
Looking at the countless riches, the astonishing chests of gold—though these things were useless in the apocalypse—
But Weren could bring them back to the modern era, where gold is very valuable.
Because of the immense wealth, Wei Lun had it transported directly back to his headquarters compound.
As for the main gate of the compound, it had already been replaced with a brand new one by this time.
Why not live in the city lord's mansion?
Actually, it doesn't matter who lives there now. You could say that Wei Lun's place is the city lord's mansion!
In the current Sixth Gathering, everyone may not know each other, but Wei Lun's name must be clearly remembered; this name has become a taboo for everyone.
After finishing these tasks,
Fu Xixi, Qin Jiayou, and Du Kun returned to the base, as their next task was to transport all the base's supplies to the gathering point.
The original base can be used as a temporary site; after it's cleared out, it will be locked and no longer used.
After all, the gathering place is now the guard's real base.
As for Wei Lun
He was currently in the courtyard, looking at the boxes of gold bars, his eyes filled with excitement.
Qin Mutong witnessed this scene. He knew very well that gold bars were extremely important to Wei Lun, even though these things were worthless in the apocalypse and could only be kept as personal collectibles.
But for Wei Lun, he could bring back that world, a paradise as beautiful as the world before the disaster.
Inside the house, Wei Lun told everyone to wait outside. Qin Mutong simply smiled gently and led everyone out.
Wei Lun then activated the black jade pendant.
He stored all the boxes of gold bars into the jade pendant's space. At this moment, Wei Lun possessed a vault as large as a gold mountain.
If bank staff knew that Wei Lun was practically a walking bank vault, they would be incredibly surprised.
After storing all the gold bars into his jade pendant space, Wei Lun walked out with great satisfaction, ready to discuss the next arrangements with everyone.
The Sixth Gathering Place, A Brand New Future!
