After obtaining the authorization from the consul, Jiang Fei began to carry out large-scale construction in the Gamma Space. Whether it was the streets destroyed in the battle or the consul's mansion that had been destroyed, they all needed to be repaired or rebuilt.
In these projects, a large number of poor people became laborers. Because during the financial crisis, the unemployment wave had not subsided. Most people did not have a job and could not support their families. Therefore, although the jobs provided by Jiang Fei were not particularly high-paying, it was better than nothing. In order to eat, a large number of poor people actively joined in.
In this way, the poor people received wages after work, which allowed them to buy food and daily necessities so that their families could survive. The government also quickly completed a large number of infrastructure repairs and reconstruction.
Under the consul's instructions, the bank printed a batch of currency as the start-up capital for the government. Because after the turnover, the government would not be short of money for the time being, so there was no need to print more currency. It only needed to be printed according to the normal demand. This small amount of additional currency did not cause much impact on the financial system and was quickly digested by the market.
Therefore, after Jiang Fei took over the baton, the entire Gamma Space instantly became prosperous. Although the damage caused by the financial crisis could not be repaired in a short period of time, at least everyone saw hope. The people's demands were actually very simple. Sometimes, just a little bit of hope was enough for them to struggle in hardship.
In a flash, a week had passed. Jiang Fei's work for relief went very smoothly. However, the consul never approved the reconstruction of the Life Continuation Center, which made Jiang Fei very unhappy.
Jiang Fei did so many things because he wanted to use the opportunity to rebuild the Life Continuation Center to see if there was a hidden space underground and if the Snow Beast was there.
Unfortunately, the Consul had approved all the other reconstruction projects, but the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center had been temporarily delayed.
In fact, the consul did not deliberately delay the reconstruction of the Life Continuation Center because he was deliberately guarding against Jiang Fei. He was worried that some bad people would take the opportunity to sneak into the Life Continuation Center and cause damage. Therefore, he had never made up his mind about the reconstruction of the Life Continuation Center.
However, the life continuation center is very important to the entire gamma space. Now that the archon's clone factory has been destroyed, the life continuation center has become the only way to replenish the population. If this place continues to be abandoned, then the human population in the gamma space will fall into negative growth. In the long run, the survival of the entire gamma space will be threatened.
However, the more the Archon refused to approve the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center, the more certain Jiang Fei was that the Snow Beast was hiding underneath the Life Extension Center.
Time passed day by day. As there were not many streets that had been destroyed, after a large number of poor people joined the work-for-relief program, the streets were rebuilt very quickly. In about two weeks, all the destroyed streets were completely rebuilt. Jiang Fei even let these poor people renovate the newly built houses under the guidance of professional workers.
Even so, two weeks later, Jiang Fei faced his first problem — the workers were out of work!
One should know that the gamma space is not comparable to the advanced civilizations in the three-dimensional universe. It is not even comparable to Earth. This place is only the size of a palm. At most, it is only a city and a large area around it.
The narrowness of the gamma space means that there are not many projects that can be done here. Moreover, the work-for-relief program is not something that can change the fate of the poor in a short period of time. Once this program stops, then the workers will lose their jobs again and return to their previous state of poverty.
"Sir, now that the workers are out of work, if you do not approve the reconstruction of the life extension center, then we will have to find other work for them. Otherwise, if the project stops, our previous efforts will be in vain!" Jiang Fei said to the archon.
"Are we going to continue like this forever? If that is the case, so what if we rebuild the life extension center? We can't always provide them with work! "The archon said.
"In the short term, we must provide them with work. We can only stop this project after they have accumulated some original wealth," Jiang Fei said.
"How long will that take?" The archon asked.
"At least two to three years! Or even ten years! "Jiang Fei replied.
"That long?" The archon frowned.
"Unless you want to let the slums exist, and let them struggle on the poverty line. If that is the case, once the wind blows, these people will instantly become the most dangerous thugs! To be honest, the sheriff was short-sighted before. If he can mobilize these poor people, then everything will be hard to say, "Jiang Fei said.
"Err …" The archon was speechless. He knew that Jiang Fei was not lying. At that time, it was not difficult for the sheriff to mobilize these poor people. He did not even need to do anything. All he needed to do was to draw a big pie in the sky, and these people would play along with him.
Moreover, the majority of the poor in the gamma space were poor. Once these people rebelled, it would be a huge threat to the archon.
"As long as they have property, will they be able to settle down?" The archon asked.
"Of course! Sir, have you not heard of it? As the saying goes, those who have property have perseverance! "Jiang Fei said.
"Tell me about it!" The archon had never heard of it before.
"Sir, you also know that there is a cost to rebellion. For example, if the sheriff failed in his rebellion, you can imagine the consequences. The same is true for the people. As long as they can survive, who would be willing to risk their lives to rebel? If they rebel, it can only mean that they really have nowhere to go, "Jiang Fei said.
"So?" The archon asked thoughtfully.
"So, what I said just now is true. Those who have property have perseverance. You tell the people about loyalty and patriotism is nonsense. They don't even have food to eat. Why would they care so much? In contrast, if they have a certain amount of property, will they support others' revolution? Not only will they not, but they will also defend this government with you, and protect their property! "Jiang Fei said.
"That seems to make sense!" The archon nodded.
"Sir, this is just a little bit of my opinion. If you think it is useful, then listen to it. If not, then just pretend that I am talking nonsense …" Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Well, let me think about it!" The archon nodded.
