Chapter Summary
Liu Ning is a fairly capable junior, but if you put the blame on him, what kind of person are you? Although Liu Ning is very powerful now, Zhao Wudi probably wouldn't do it if he asked him to, because Zhao Wudi knows very well that this guy might become his son-in-law in the future. There are still many people waiting to see Liu Ning make a fool of himself." They all know very well what the wild is like, especially the ferocious beasts.
When Liu Ning appeared, Zhao Wudi had an idea in mind, but he couldn't bring it up directly. He was facing an economic crisis, and as the most important person in the city, he had to solve it himself.
You can't pin this on someone else. Liu Ning is a fairly capable junior, but if you put the blame on him, what kind of person are you?
This is the same as shirking responsibility. Other city lords might do it, but it's impossible for Zhao Wudi. Zhao Wudi is not a simple person. Normally, even if there is responsibility, he will take it upon himself.
Moreover, Liu Ning is his junior. Although Liu Ning is very powerful now, Zhao Wudi probably wouldn't do it if he asked him to, because Zhao Wudi knows very well that this guy might become his son-in-law in the future.
So doing things this way would offend his daughter. She's the only precious child in the whole family. If Liu Ning were to manage this matter, probably no one in the family would be willing. However, after Liu Ning proposed the expansion...
Zhao Wudi immediately agreed. "The land in the wild isn't ours. You can do whatever you want. It has little to do with the people in the city. There are still many people waiting to see Liu Ning make a fool of himself."
They all know very well what the wild is like, especially the ferocious beasts. If you can deal with them, not to mention 80 square kilometers, the entire wild area could be your territory. But the question is, how can you deal with them?
Just as the two were about to finalize the deal, Zhu Tianhua came in from outside. To be honest, Liu Ning hadn't seen this guy for a long time. Now, this guy looked quite respectable, ever since his father went to the capital.
Zhu Tianhua knew he had no powerful backing and had to rely on himself for everything. So he worked diligently. Although he was only the administrative head of the West District, the West District was quite large, with more than 20 million people under his jurisdiction.
Before the cataclysm, this was already a megacity. After the cataclysm, it became extremely burdened. During this period, more than 70 roads within the territory were repaired, and now 70% of them have been completed.
The naval base has run out of funds. Although the governor of the western district also has some funds, and they contributed 20% of the total funds, if they are asked to cover all the costs, then it would be better to just sell them off.
So they came here to ask Zhao Wudi for money. The garrison had already agreed and it was written into the financial plan. All their workers are waiting there now. If you don't hand over this money...
This matter can't proceed any further. Zhu Tianhua has already been very accommodating by not coming to collect the money within the stipulated time, which has already caused several days of delay. He is using all his strength to support Zhao Wudi.
After all, they were all in the same boat, but now he really couldn't hold on any longer and had even used up his bank loan.
"See? What I told you before was absolutely true. These people all came to me asking for money. It's my own fault for lacking experience and ability in governance. I was only thinking about bringing benefits to all the people and didn't realize how much wealth I had."
In addition, some money has not yet been credited to my account, all of which is from Beijing. I thought no one would deduct my money, but I didn't expect these people to be so audacious. If they want to embezzle, they can find a reason to do so everywhere.
This is the most frustrating thing. This month is over, but I don't know how I'll get through next month. I've already spent 150% of next month's tax revenue, so I'll probably have to find money from other places again.
This project was approved by me before, and there's no turning back now. Especially the roads in the city, they're in terrible condition now. The central area gets money for repairs every year, but the four peripheral areas are already impassable.
When it rains, everything is covered in mud. If we don't repair it, who knows what kind of big problems might arise in the future? So this matter has really put me in a difficult position. The price of materials has gone up recently, by about 30%.
If material prices don't rise, this problem can still be plugged. But if material prices continue to rise, things will be unpredictable. We can only wait and see, and who knows, success might be possible in the meantime.
I don't know what's wrong with these material sellers; they only raised prices when I'm repairing the road. This has never happened before.
Zhao Wudi said with great frustration. When Zhao Wudi mentioned this, Liu Ning instinctively sensed a conspiracy and thought that someone was plotting against Zhao Wudi. However, this idea was quickly disproven.
Zhu Tianhua also conducted an investigation at that time to see if some material merchants wanted to go against the government, or if they had received some information and wanted to make a profit from this incident. Who knew that after Zhu Tianhua's investigation...
They dismissed the suspicion. It wasn't that they wanted to make money; it was a planet-wide issue. The rising cost of materials wasn't just happening here; it was happening throughout human society, and the increase was substantial.
Considering that their city already has very few 【cases】, while other cities have already seen increases of up to 50%, if you haven't even considered this effect, then it's your own problem before undertaking such a large-scale renovation plan.
They should have considered all possibilities. This is also Zhao Wudi's team's fault; they didn't take these things into account, leading to the current economic crisis. Fortunately, Zhao Wudi has other solutions. If it were someone else, they would probably just have to accept their bad luck now. This isn't what they wanted to do; there are just some things that can't be said. In this situation, we can only watch patiently and see if a solution can be found.
Of course, there couldn't be any other situation, but unfortunately, these things can't be resolved, so we can only stay here. As for the final outcome, that depends on how Zhao Wudi resolves it; the entire city is watching.
