Chapter 672: Chapter 389: The King’s Hometown_2

Although the prosperous economic zones of the past can no longer be rebuilt, it does not mean that the Human Federation cannot afford to fund them now.

The unification of all humanity and the supreme King’s merciless purge of various vested interest groups have, in fact, freed up a lot of resources.

These are numbers that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

At least enough for the Human Federation to steadily transition into a period of basic stability.

In this astronomical-level resource mobilization for demolition welfare subsidies.

No one dares to line their own pockets.

This is extremely exaggerated, almost unprecedented in any previous era.

Because the current Human Federation is still in a semi-military governance state, not many dare to stir up trouble during this period when heavy punishments can be applied.

And the prestige created by the saint king has only been a few days, it won’t dissipate so quickly.

What’s most important is.

This concerns the development of the King’s hometown, the Dome Council has established a series of large-scale related inspection members, specifically to prevent corruption during the entire project.

Anyone daring to be corrupt will face mortal consequences.

This is not the previous era where corrupt officials needed to be baited slowly and evidence gathered.

This is the semi-military governance period.

If you dare to be corrupt.

And if the highly strict inspection agencies detect any clues, then the next moment, they will call the military to bring their equipment right to your doorstep without hesitation.

In any case, the lives of the original residents of Lianshui County are indeed much better now.

So.

Sheng Yong’s complicated emotions come from the sudden series of positive changes, making it hard for him to react and get used to it.

It’s suddenly like there’s no need to strive.

Although according to the promise made during King Wang’s Ascension, the Human Federation will undoubtedly greatly improve everyone’s living standards in the future.

But as the King’s hometown, it first enjoyed such improvements.

It indeed makes one’s mind buzz.

Yes, one could say this is being sentimental.

Sheng Yong feels that perhaps he’s destined to toil on the farm, despite now benefitting greatly from sharing a hometown with the King due to good luck.

Yet he still longs for the past.

Or rather, it shouldn’t be called longing, but suddenly having everything allocated feels hard to get used to.

This old man whose wife died in childbirth after having a child, has unexpectedly become a hot commodity in the marriage and matchmaking market.

This is an extremely complex emotion.

Given that the Dome Council is maintaining high-pressure management and suppression, yet provides ample living supplies to ensure everyone stays at home without causing trouble.

Everyone views someone like him, who undoubtedly has a bright future, with special regard.

It’s important to know that nowadays, although most people won’t starve due to the King’s promise of permanent material subsidies for all citizens, widespread unemployment still fills the world with various anxieties.

Even though they won’t starve, they might not live well either.

Even if various large projects and development plans require a lot of manpower, solving a large portion of the unemployed population, it still can’t completely resolve the related issues.

After all, following the unification of the world, many unnecessary positions and companies are affected and vanished, which is an unavoidable situation.

Despite the Dome Council’s subsidy promises being tempting, they remain a distant possibility.

Various constructions by the Human Federation indeed lack manpower.

But those who can work have already gone, while those left either have weak bodies unable to work, or are too picky to accept those jobs, making it impossible to completely solve unemployment issues.

So it seems somewhat normal for an old man like him to suddenly become a hot commodity.

With such complex emotions, Sheng Yong, who spends every day doing nothing at home, steps outside.

In the temporary settlement area near Xin Yuan City, the markets are quite lively at the moment.

These relocated people from Lianshui County naturally have no need to set up stalls, but wherever there are people, there is a market.

This place not only houses these settlers, but also many people temporarily residing who are busy with Xin Yuan City development and surrounding areas.

The market demands naturally arise, providing many temporary job positions, contributing to the stability of surrounding large regions.

At this moment.

Sheng Yong steps out of his home, greeted by a bustling scene.

This market near the settlement area seems to have suddenly become exceptionally prosperous overnight.

Various stalls and shops line the streets, bustling with voices.

At one corner of the market, a group of construction workers wearing hard hats are eagerly discussing the progress of Xin Yuan City’s development.

Though all of them have dark circles under their eyes, as if they haven’t slept for several days, every face is filled with pride and anticipation, obviously feeling honored to participate in such a grand project.

Even while visiting the market.

They haven’t forgotten to chat about work.

"I heard the central area of Xin Yuan City has basically completed blasting and clearing obstacles, and the main roads are about to start being paved. We’re going to start work soon!"

An excited young worker says.

"Yeah, it’s the King’s hometown; we have to do our work well and cannot make any mistakes."

Another experienced old worker nods in agreement.

Sheng Yong, observing nearby, couldn’t help squinting his eyes.

Indeed, this era seems to be the springtime for construction workers.

During non-rest periods these days, the surrounding area often echoes with overwhelming blasting sounds, said to be concentrating on blasting and clearing obstacles from most non-cultural heritage and non-natural protected areas of Lianshui City.
