Chapter Summary
It's not that these people aren't being kind, but in the current situation, if they continue to act according to Liu Ning's way of thinking, many things will be impossible to accomplish. For example, if an ordinary worker agrees to Liu Ning's demands, they will definitely have to make changes. So on this point, no matter what these people are thinking, many people cannot change it and can only stay here obediently.
In Liu Ning's view, these people might be going too far, even a bit out of line. But if you think about it carefully, you'll understand what's going on. It's not that these people aren't being kind, but in the current situation, if they continue to act according to Liu Ning's way of thinking, many things will be impossible to accomplish. For example, if an ordinary worker agrees to Liu Ning's demands, they will definitely have to make changes. What kind of changes?
Take the current situation as an example. They may not be able to go to work for a long time. This is the most helpless change. If the entire city has to change its defense plan, it will be no small matter. In this situation, once the defense plan is changed, it will be no small matter for everyone. In this situation, everyone may be affected. As for the specific impact, these people know better than anyone else.
No matter what you're thinking, you have to obediently follow the naval headquarters' decision. What's the situation at the naval headquarters? Everyone can see that you definitely won't be able to go to work normally, and you'll have to do forced labor. This is something that others are unwilling to do. Instead of doing their own work, they'll help the naval headquarters repair the city walls, or even improve a series of industrial measures within the city, since this city originally had no industry at all.
According to the report from the Human Council, at least sixteen factories need to be built to keep the city running while it is besieged. This is equivalent to rebuilding the city. The original entertainment venues will definitely be reduced by more than half. The city's main income comes from tourism. Now, suddenly they are told that tourism is no longer profitable and they need to find new ways to make a living. Who can bear this?
Some people can certainly bear it because they are not afraid of it and they have ways to change it. But most people cannot bear it. Their personal abilities are very limited. What kind of change do you expect them to undergo? If there is no way to change it, what will the final result be? So on this point, no matter what these people are thinking, many people cannot change it and can only stay here obediently.
As for the final outcome, they could already foresee it: they would lose their original jobs and might not be able to adapt to new ones. They were already struggling to make ends meet, but after the city was redeveloped, they might not even be able to make ends meet. Don't think this is a joke; it could really happen. Many people have already foreseen this future.
Everyone knows that a city cannot be easily changed. If you want to easily change a city, you must first understand your own capabilities. If you have the capability, everything is easy to discuss. But if you don't have the capability, then there's nothing to say. You must understand all of this.
Liu Ning had done some research on this city, but unfortunately, things weren't so simple. No matter what you wanted to do in this city, you couldn't necessarily sort things out. Take the many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in this city, for example. They were aware of the dangers of this city. For instance, some senior managers of companies earned billions of yuan in salary every year.
They also care about their own safety. They know everything Liu Ning said. They are different from ordinary people. To be honest, even if they quit now, the money they earned before is enough for them to live on for a lifetime. They could go somewhere else, but they still have to stay here. It's not that they are greedy or anything.
The problem is that the four major families simply won't allow them to resign. They're such a good money-making tool, why would they let them resign? If someone like that resigns, where would they find a replacement? The main problem is that they can't find a replacement, so these people have to stay here and continue working honestly. Of course, the four major families are willing to accept this situation, but for these people, it's something they really don't want to do.
The dangers of this city are obvious, and ordinary people have no choice but to stay. However, for these senior managers, they have many options. Going to another city to be an ordinary citizen would be much better than staying here. The problem is how to express it. What Liu Ning is doing now is indeed an opportunity.
They could have supported Liu Ning, but the four major families had given them orders not only not to support him, but also to have their backers oppose him. Only in this way could Liu Ning understand that no matter how well he did in this matter, there would be no good outcome in the end. It was precisely because of this that these people looked rather grim, unsure of how to describe the situation.
Even though it wasn't what they wanted, they still had to do what the four major families wanted. They had followed the four major families for so many years, so they naturally knew how ruthless their masters were. If they were unhappy with just one thing, no matter how many things they had done to please their masters in the past, now it was time for their heads to roll, and they would roll their heads. These people didn't care about feelings.
In their eyes, feelings are practically trash, so in this situation, you have to be honest and obedient. If you anger these people, it won't do you any good. In the current situation, they can only help Liu Ning through other channels, and they have no way to comment on it.
However, he could have easily hired online trolls to highly praise Liu Ning's strategy. This led to a strange situation: Liu Ning originally intended to help the poor, but surprisingly, his supporters were some high-level workers. This surprised Liu Ning, as it seems that nothing can be said until the problem of food is solved.
