Chapter 1,244: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 57 (Part 1)

5 a.m.

Freya woke up from her dream with a sudden movement. She turned on the bedside lamp next to her and found that her daughter Michelle was awake.

"What's wrong, Michelle? Are you hungry?"

Michelle shook her head, clung to Freya, and leaned sideways to put her head in her mother's arms. Freya smiled and stroked her daughter's head.

This child made Freya worry-free. She was just over 2 years old and was already very independent. She could dress, eat, play, and have a strong desire to learn and imitate. Freya had taught Michelle to read. She now knew a lot of things and had a good memory.

The daughter kept rubbing Freya's chin, with her little hand on her belly. Freya smiled and kissed her daughter. She sighed. It was anxiety. Freya was often anxious recently. The medical association and the current situation in the city made Freya very busy every day. Starting from April 1 next year, the group of councillors will be officially established.

Everyone has made preparations for the corresponding preparatory work, which will be more intense next year. All aspects of the city's construction and some institutional issues will be completed in the Congress Hall and implemented after the final decision.

Freya has asked her subordinates to collect and list the medical problems of the people in 120 districts. There are too many problems to be solved.

The first type of problem is the difficulty in seeing a doctor. Medical facilities are currently unable to meet the needs with the continuous growth of the population. Many districts now do not even have hospitals, only some large and small clinics, but the quality of these clinics is uneven.

There was a clear classification of medical facilities before. In order to ensure the quality of medical care and the supervision of the medical market, it is necessary, but the derived problem means that very low-level medical facilities are not allowed to treat some diseases, and most people can only go to high-level medical facilities for treatment, which creates huge pressure on medical care.

Many doctors are complaining that the medical pressure in the high-level medical market is very high. Under the condition of clear medical treatment pricing, the medical system treats everyone equally. However, some doctors will charge some wealthy patients extra fees in order to make money, give priority to receiving them warmly, and treat those who have no money perfunctorily and indifferently.

The salary income of the lowest E-level doctor alone is 4,000 yuan a month. In addition to selling medicines, it can even exceed 10,000 yuan a month, which is not low.

The problem of the medical market is the huge pressure of patients. This can only be seen from the opening of the medical professional college in the fourth department. Only by waiting for more medical talents to enter this market can the pressure of seeing a doctor in the medical industry be effectively alleviated.

The second point is the problem of expensive drugs, because the medical subsidies of regional taxes are less than 20% of the past, and the seventh department issued more tax details last year.

Individuals who pay less than 180 yuan in taxes each year are not entitled to medical subsidies, which is calculated based on the 3% personal income tax of the lowest monthly income in Brilliant City. Families who pay less than 252 yuan in taxes each year are not entitled to the subsidy, and the lowest family income is 700 yuan per month.

These people can only enjoy subsidies for water and electricity, because nowadays some people will not deposit money in Section 7, so many people do not pay taxes, and some people are still black households. This system is introduced to allow these people to actively deposit money in Section 7 and know their financial situation.

And Section 7 has strictly ordered all businessmen to let employees open accounts directly, and the money will be directly transferred to the employees' accounts after tax deduction, but some businessmen, in order to make profits, have discussed with the company's employees within the company and tried every means to avoid taxes.

For those who don't pay taxes all year round, they don't even get water and electricity subsidies, and they can't enjoy education in the area. Sections 7, 8, and 9 have already planned to issue more stringent policies and conduct a thorough investigation. In the past three years, those whose tax records are less than 500 will be punished by not receiving benefits in the area for 10 years if they are found.

Nowadays, urban construction is so difficult, and taxation is a very big problem. According to AI's big data simulation calculation, at least 15 million people have had problems with tax leakage.

This has been a problem for many years, and now the Action Section plans to implement electronic money after the full construction of the bill is completed. Once the implementation of electronic money is included, a large amount of black money will be investigated in the city.

"Time is running out."

Anxiety once again climbed into Freya's heart. At this time, her daughter fell asleep again. Looking at her daughter's peaceful face, Freya's anxiety began to dissipate again.

Freya can also feel that the city is currently experiencing an unprecedented period. In such a period, if you are not careful, the situation will become very bad.

"Some things can't be suppressed!"

Over the years, Freya gradually figured out a problem. Human nature can't be suppressed. Under Alpha's leadership, the oppression of the Operations Department has become stronger and stronger. Alpha uses tough means to govern the city, but some problems are handled too quickly. The original intention is good, but the cruel side of reality will always be suppressed.

But now Freya doesn't have any better solution, she can only find a way to keep the city stable.

Freya got up carefully, woke up the caregiver in the next room, handed over some things, and then started dressing up.

Soon a new round of problems will erupt, and Angus Construction will encounter an unprecedented crisis at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. This is something Freya and the other seven guys in the association were aware of a few months ago.

If Angus really raises prices for most workers, construction will not be able to continue. The conditions offered by Angus in the past were quite high for many workers.

The average monthly income of most workers is around 2,000, which is already higher than the income of many people in the middle class, and workers in some places work more than 10 hours a day.

Workers who signed a 10-year contract will receive a subsidy of 36,000 yuan after the construction is completed.

Currently, of the 300,000 contracted workers, less than 10% are for ten-year terms, 30% are for eight-year terms, and 60% are for five-year terms.

The reason why most workers are dissatisfied is because they see that the factory has raised their wages to 10 yuan an hour due to a shortage of workers. However, the current batch of workers at Angus Construction earns 6 yuan an hour. The gap of 4 yuan is for many people. Of course you will be dissatisfied.

When there are no jobs, this salary is simply sky-high for most people. But now that there is a large-scale labor shortage in the city, the workers' wealth has skyrocketed, and most people are naturally dissatisfied.

This long-planned protest will start at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the Angus family is in danger.

Freya simply put on a light and elegant make-up, then put on a black fitted V-shaped black suit, black high-heeled shoes, and tied her hair up. The MPs' outfits had already been designed. Women and men are basically the same, but the women's version is smaller and the men's are wider. The women's chest is V-shaped, while the men's chest has a thin semicircle.

Now Freya has asked representatives from each district to wear black uniforms when working in the association. On April 1 this year, Congress will officially announce the factions of the members.

Freya knew very well that something had to be done today, otherwise the city was likely to remain in chaos for a period of time.

After a while, Freya glanced at the time, which was just 5 o'clock, and then walked out of the bedroom. Before closing the door, she glanced at her daughter on the bed. She was sleeping soundly.

At this time, the bedroom door next to her opened, and her husband, Charles, came over with a smile.

"Where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Work!"

Charles just stretched out his hand, but Freya had already walked over. He looked at Freya's back quietly, feeling that the relationship between him and his wife was getting further and further away, and there was nothing left in his heart. It's more relevant for family members.

The servant who was responsible for taking care of him sat at the door with half-closed eyes. Charles coughed. The servant woke up and stood up hurriedly. Charles walked to the door of the room with a smile, opened the door quietly, and took a look at his sleeping daughter.

Freya had clearly talked to Charles about the parliamentary government, and Charles was also shocked. It was a huge political system that had the same rights as the executive branch, but Charles was more concerned about his daughter's future marriage.

At present, Charles has selected 18 families who will be very helpful to the Abron family in the future, but he has never dared to discuss this matter with Freya. Charles feels that there is no conflict between politics and marriage.

Charles also planned to wait for Freya to come back and talk to her calmly. After all, in Charles's opinion, choosing a good husband for his daughter was far more practical than competing for power.

Things in the power circle are uncertain, and changes are common. Only business is stable.

Charles also thought clearly that if Freya could not give him a son in the future, Charles would have no choice but to let Michelle inherit the family business. This was bitter and helpless for Charles.

In order not to cause the tragedies between large and small families in the past, Charles decided to let the children of the other family come over once he and Freya reached an agreement. It was quite common for them to fall in love over time.

5:39 am

Wu Qun walked into an office located in a circular street on the middle floor. More than 300 people had been waiting for a long time.

"Old Wu, why are you here?"

Chen Qiao stood up first and shouted. Zou Yun was also in the room. Wu Qun squinted at Zou Yun who was talking and laughing with a woman next to him, feeling something was wrong.

"Did any of you find out what I asked you to ask about?"

At this time a woman stood up and said.

"Old Wu, I have news here. The couple you mentioned, Feite and Gu Lin, who died in the accident at the Hillman Family Company, had never been on the street together. This is considered to be their lifetime order. Where people are confused.”

Wu Qun waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and everyone who was still whispering fell silent.

Wu Qun was not in a good mood. He had gone to see the bodies of Feite and Gu Lin. He did not believe that the couple had disappeared like this. In addition, Wu Qun had always been suspicious of the Hillman family in the past and suspected that they were behind the scenes. Some crimes were committed, but there was no evidence.

"Okay, what we need to do today is a food event! We need to covertly draw everyone's attention to what may happen. Is everyone ready?"

Everyone nodded, and Chen Qiao was a little unhappy at this time.

"Old Wu, why do we need to help the business department? After all, this matter"

Wu Qun glanced at Chen Qiao and stopped talking. Although everyone was confused, everyone had to listen to Wu Qun because he had never let anyone down.

Many of those who had not listened to Wu Qun's advice in the past were either bankrupt or in jail, especially those from Sanlian Company who had hastily joined the Food Association last year. Although the three were dissatisfied, Wu Qun's advice to them was to donate to Frye Mental Hospital unconditionally.

At first, Baochun, Qian Jiazhen and Lu De were all against it, but in the end they had no choice but to do so. Then the result was unexpected. The review of their company by the Operations Department was also slowed down, and the good deeds of their company in the society were also noticed. They then developed some other food industries, which unexpectedly made a considerable improvement.

What Wu Qun often said to the people in front of him was that once you are willing to take on social responsibilities, the society will naturally reward you.

Today, the seven major associations will carry out promotions and joint commercial activities in various industries. This is the most effective way to mitigate the impact on the city. When the protests have not affected too many people, they will attract everyone's attention.

Many businessmen have responded, especially those whose funds were cut off by Eddie Finance. The association has planned to raise funds to temporarily ease the pressure on their capital chain, and Section 7 has promised a few hours ago that it will provide them with certain financial assistance until they can turn losses into profits.

As for the Angus family, Wu Qun just received a call from Locke, saying that there is no problem and there are ways to fill some of the funds.

A crisis that many people are not easy to detect but has been brewing for a long time is about to begin. The urban construction promoted by cutting taxes and benefits has caused a lot of problems in just over a year, and the lives of more than 15 million people have been directly affected.

Many people have not yet realized that the current economic scale has become larger than before due to the construction of cities. A large number of factories are working day and night. All the conveniences brought by the opening of light and shadow materialization technology force these businessmen to try their best to expand themselves while the dividends of this era have not yet dissipated.

The city is also growing rapidly because of this madness. Wu Qun goes to the streets from time to time, but every time he goes to the streets, he finds that many light and shadow templates are constantly being updated, and the speed of updating is very fast, especially mobile phones.

Nowadays, in just over a year, light and shadow mobile phones have replaced light and shadow screens that can rival the size of TVs. The most light and shadow mobile phones can even support 12 operating light and shadow screens at the same time.

Updating is also very convenient. You only need to pay more to change functions or appearances. The size of the economy has begun to soar uncontrollably, which is completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Along with the expanding economy, people's hearts are the same. Wu Qun knows very well that if it is not handled well today, the subsequent impact will be very worrying.

Everyone thinks that this era will get better and better, and everyone will become richer and richer, but Wu Qun knows very well that this is already the highest point. Once the construction is completed, everything will be back to square one, and a relatively stable era will come.

Because the over-dramatic construction has mobilized all walks of life in the city, and the taxes accumulated over the years have slowly entered the city through the bills, just like a catalyst, allowing the city to continue to ferment and change. In the past, the wages of workers have never been able to rise to more than 2,000 in any period of time.

This method of consuming the demographic dividend accumulated over the years to boost urban construction is also understandable. Everything is squeezing each other and raising the city to the highest point.

There is still more than an hour to go for the protest demonstration. It is not so important who takes the lead. This is an inevitable result.

The workers who lose 4 yuan an hour will only do a simple calculation. Working 10 hours a day means 40 yuan less, 1,200 less a month, and 14,400 less a year.

It is just a simple calculation. Most people don’t think about it at all. This is a high welfare era that has emerged in the context of such a large construction in the city. Money will not make money. Only by continuously generating kinetic energy collision can everyone survive better.

Wu Qun looked at the people in the room with worry. They were all communicating and arranging the promotion and various activities of the large-scale things-related industries that would appear briefly in the city today.

What Wu Qun was most worried about at this time was that the city was too closely connected. This was planned by the gods early on, making the city like a giant machine, and the Action Department was the gear in the city's machine, responsible for making the city run efficiently and stably, producing the era.

So if such a large-scale protest demonstration occurs, it will inevitably have an impact, and all walks of life will be affected, because many people are still very dissatisfied with the pricing power of the 9th Department.

Most people think that commodity pricing should be left to the market, but what many people cannot understand is that the city's resources are fixed, and pricing control must be carried out to control resource allocation, so that resources can be used reasonably and efficiently, the market can be stabilized, and the economy can be effectively regulated.

Wu Qun stood up and pressed the number 0000 when he walked out of the room.

"Mr. General Manager, are you ready? Angus family."

Wu Qun became a little anxious. It was already 5:38 in the morning.

"No problem."

Wu Qun agreed and began to discuss with Locke, because many large-scale activities need to go through the safety review of Section 5, as well as the joint review of Sections 7, 8, and 9 to ensure that there are no funds and Legal issues and whether the content of the activity is true.

"Alpha's side"

"I have convinced her, but she will send people from Section 3 to the event site to maintain order and conduct some investigations to eliminate safety hazards."

Wu Qun breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the bright lights on the street, and his expression became serious again.

5:51 am

A Section 11 lift slowly stopped on the lawn of Angus's house. Two small lifts landed, and Latis and Song Man came out with more than 30 directors.

The Angus couple, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward to greet them.

"Thank you Latis."

Violet held Latis's hand, and Latis nodded with a smile. At this time, hundreds of core company members and family members of the Angus family passed by and opened the door of the large lift. , which contained money stacked as high as a hill.

"Hurry up and take stock."

At this time, two large lifts from Section 12 were quickly approaching in the distant sky, and another lift from Section 10 landed. The latest money counting robot was moved by people from Section 10. come over.

Soon, 3 billion in cash was being burned in three large lifts.

"Mrs. Angus, to be honest, a large part of this money is shady. I hope you won't tell Alpha."

Although Violet had already thought about it early on, it was impossible for Section 11 to have so much money. Latis should have squeezed the money from the prisoners. She choked and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Angus. I have ordered the people from Section 10 to prepare everything. They will go directly to the scene to help Angus Construction survive this crisis."

Noah walked over quickly. After tapping the banknotes, the elevator will send the money directly to Section 7 and deposit it into the Angus family's account. When the Angus family starts to make real profits in the future, The money will be returned in full.

"Sorry!"

Alpha said, Latis smiled and shook his head, and Noah next to him also smiled and shook his head.

"We used to spend New Year's Eve on this lawn, so let us help you at least once."

Clark said with a smile that this money was originally used to prepare funds for follow-up research, but now it must be used. The 2 billion funds are used by businessmen to purchase food.

12 Branch will use the money earned to pay wages to the people on the farm and purchase everything needed for the farm. The money will actually go back to society, but it has already brought about economic benefits, allowing most industries to benefit from it. Moved.

The Angus couple had also made up their minds that the money would be used to deal with this workers' protest.

Because certain wages of some workers were not paid clearly, when the contract was originally signed, it was clearly stated in the contract that if they refused to work without reason, the Angus family could fulfill the legal effect of the contract.

If the workers resign without reason, the Angus family has the right to ask the workers to pay five times the monthly basic salary, which is more than 10,000 yuan.

In fact, the workers' behavior has already violated the contract, but at this juncture, construction must continue, and the city cannot allow greater chaos.

The Angus couple didn't rest all night. After a short meeting with family members, the Angus family concluded that the Angus family would not meet the workers' wage increase conditions, but the workers could end the contract. The Angus family The workers' money will be settled to them every penny, and they do not need to bear legal responsibility.

The speed of construction can only be slowed down, which is a helpless and realistic choice.

Stacks of banknotes were continuously put into the machine and then stacked on the other side of the lift. No one could know about this secret loan. The money was lent to Section 11 and Section 12 of the Angus family. Only an internal contract can be concluded with the Angus family.

"Is there really no need for interest?"

Avano looked at the contracts of the two departments in surprise, and both Latis and Clark shook their heads.

"How much is this"

"Don't be polite to us, Mr. Angus. It will be the same in the future. We will never allow money to shrink. The current wholesale price of eggs is 2.3 cents. Even in the past 50 years, it is still 2.3 cents." to 3 cents.”

Avano's emotions were a bit uncontrollable for a moment. His eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes. These young people who often came with Alpha in the past have grown up. In the future, the city will become better because of their existence. OK

At this time, a lift from the General Affairs Department slowly landed. As soon as Locke got off the lift, he saw Yu Wanrou, who was counting and handing over the money with the Angus family. She was still as usual. , the two of them have not spoken much over the years, and even if they meet in the General Affairs Department, they rarely say anything.

"Manager, why don't you go say hello to Sister Wanrou?"

Locke coughed and walked over quickly. The final accounts of the tax use of Section 6 and Section 7 have just come out. In the next three years, Section 3 will continue to reduce military expenditures and will give at least 5 billion to the Angus family. left and right subsidies.

This year's military expenditures for Section 3 have been refunded, and more than 1.3 billion has been paid into the Angus family's account.

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to hold on!"

Gary Locke said as soon as he went over. Angus and his wife nodded. Alpha had already taken people to the construction site. Today, she will personally lead the people from Sections 5 and 3 to dissuade and maintain order in this massive protest demonstration.

No one knows what will happen in an hour, so they can only make preparations in all aspects as much as possible to prevent it from happening.

The city constitution clearly states that citizens have the right to freely organize marches, assemblies and demonstrations, and such rights cannot be deprived.

At 6 o'clock in the morning

In the compound of the Management Office in the middle 60th district, there are a total of 55 regional officers and 39 directors dispatched from various places. A total of 30,000 people from Section 5 have been dispatched to the public security management offices in various places to receive explosion-proof equipment and stun guns.

"Everyone! Finally, I want to say one more thing. If a riot occurs, block all the main entrances and coordinate operations according to daily training! Action."

Everyone started to move. Alpha stepped down from the platform and lit a cigarette. With a sharp look in his eyes, he walked among the officers who were heading to the two sides. Jill followed behind with a large number of directors.
