0513 Bright future

Sanitation problems in Nagaril have been restricting certain industries here, such as tourism.

Don't underestimate the tourism industry. In fact, the economic contribution of tourism to such underdeveloped areas far exceeds the industrial economy that is almost non-existent here. In many similar countries, the tourism economy has become a pillar industry of those small countries.

It is much simpler to build an industrial chain around tourism that meets local environmental conditions than to develop industry.

Nagaril also has rich tourism resources. Not to mention the long high-quality coastline and countless beaches. Once you enter the inland, whether it is the endless prairie or the virgin forest that blocks the sky, it is great. landscape.

Coupled with activities such as hunting, these can contribute a lot of profits here every year.

But why has the tourism industry in Nagalier been slow to develop so far?

After all, it’s just too dirty.

It is a pleasure for tourists to experience the original ecological environment, but it is torture to live in a dirty area. The two seem to be similar, but they give people completely different feelings.

Coupled with the urgent need to clean up some of the mountains of garbage in the city, driven by Lynch and other federal businessmen, City Hall held this first-ever meeting that was not for the ruling class - in name only, Cleaning up the city's garbage and maintaining hygiene are for the citizens of the city.

Therefore, the people invited to attend the meeting this time were basically local respected people, and the atmosphere of this meeting was very special.

Nagaril is a society ruled by different clans. The leader of each big clan is the governor of each province, and then some random relatives serve as governors of various government departments in various regions.

This has also led to the existence of "clan" among the people. People living in a village or on a street have evolved into a public clan in this general environment. In these public clans, they can play a decisive role. Those who are effective are those who are highly respected.

"...Sanitary problems make our people more susceptible to illness. I have a document in my hand. From the first day of this year to now, we have a total of...", the mayor glanced down at the report in his hand, and then froze. one time.

“…More than 24,000 people died from diseases caused by sanitation problems!”

He himself was surprised, and some reporters were also surprised. This kind of thing always seems a bit unbelievable to everyone. From their perspective, more than 24,000 people die in a year, which is almost more than 2,000 people in a month. , on average, at least sixty or seventy people die every day.

But they didn't find anyone dying constantly, not even for a whole year.

This is actually the most typical survivor bias, and can even be said to be a cognitive disorder.

Just because you don't know doesn't mean it didn't happen. Many people died in hospitals with poor environment, but not everyone goes to the hospital every day to watch and see if anyone dies.

Others died at home, and the family members of the deceased wanted to avoid being judged by others - in the traditional culture of Nagaril, people who are sick are basically bad people, or they were bad people in their previous lives.

So when someone in the family gets sick and dies, the family members of the deceased usually bury the deceased secretly.

In fact, there are more than just these deaths. In the slums on the outskirts of the city, more than this number die every year, and people are too lazy to report it.

Every time there is a case of fatal infectious disease in the slums, the city hall will send people to disperse the untouchables living on the outskirts of the city, and they will be driven into the wild. The wild in Nagaril is more dangerous, so people in the slums died, everyone They will only burn or bury them secretly without making a sound, and will not publicize these things to the outside world.

The cognitive impairment of survivors makes people here regard what happens to them and around them as the trajectory of the world, so they feel shocked and surprised.

The mayor looked at the ordinary people who came to the meeting and suddenly felt that Mr. Lynch might not be selfish in promoting this proposal, and his expression became more serious.

"Many people die every year because of hygiene problems. They shouldn't die. It's us who are still alive who have caused these problems, so starting from today, I need you to pay attention to your personal hygiene and the hygiene around where you live."

The people who were invited didn't care much about discussing these issues. After a brief shock, they had accepted the fact. In local terms, these people died of illness in order to atone for their sins in their previous lives, so this They will die before they live long.

Since it is a punishment from the gods, it has nothing to do with you. Everyone feels that even if they were not a good person in their previous life, they were still ordinary people. They can at least live in peace.

This attitude is also the main reason why Nagaril is so dirty. Everyone feels that most of the things that happen in this society have nothing to do with them. How can they possibly make some changes?

Whether it's for this country or for themselves.

The mayor's negative attitude frowned. He tugged on the corner of his clothes and supported his waist.

The habits he used when he was the police chief have now changed slightly. Only when he feels angry or unhappy, he will pull the corners of his clothes. This is a subconscious behavior.

He changed "I want people to see the best side of me" to "I have to stay decent even if I'm angry." This was his mental journey in just over a month.

"This is not a request, please pay attention, this is a request!" He had a cold smile on his face, "The city is ours, not just one of yours."

"Starting from January 1 next year, I will arrange people to patrol. If any places that do not meet the standards are found, you responsible persons on the streets, as well as those who have not disposed of clean garbage, will be punished by the city. Expelled from Mengwu Province!"

This sentence is truly earth-shattering. If you are going to be evicted because you have not taken care of the hygiene problem, is that too serious?

Some people stood up and shouted loudly, seeming to say that this was a kind of tyranny, and only tyrants would do this.

Others said they couldn't do this at all. Who knows who will throw away garbage and who won't? If someone else throws garbage at their side, does it count as their garbage?

Civil fights have been banned in Nagaril. If the mayor cannot come up with a further plan and formulates such barbaric rules, it is very likely that there will be continuous civil fights throughout the city. This is something that no one wants to see. .

Fortunately, at this time, the mayor shouted "Quiet" loudly, but the effect was not very good. He shouted several times, but his voice was suppressed by people who were talking about their own things, so that he was escorted from his side. He pulled out a handy baton from his waist and hit it hard on the table, making a loud noise, which stopped people from expressing their thoughts.

He looked at these people with evil eyes, put the baton on the table, and adjusted his clothes and collar, "I invite you here to give you a little face. If you continue like this, something similar will happen next time." , even if I ask someone to bring a dog, I won’t let you know!”

As he spoke, his unkind eyes swept over these people's faces, as if to tell them in this way, "I remember your appearance."

"Mr. Mayor, you can't blame us. Your request is too unreasonable and we can't fulfill it." Someone interrupted, and others whispered in agreement.

The mayor frowned slightly, "So I haven't finished speaking yet..."

He paused for a moment, "Mr. Lynch and some federal businessmen who invested locally heard that I planned to rectify the city's sanitation. At the same time, they felt that the current power generation in the city was insufficient, so they merged the two things into One piece.”

"They will recycle dry garbage that can be burned in the city at a price of one Galilee per pound. Note that it is dry garbage, the kind that will not drip when lifted with a net bag. These garbage will be used to generate electricity..."

Looking at the "commotion" crowd, Lin Qi didn't show much smile on his face. In his opinion, there was nothing commendable about this method, but it was the simplest method, using benefits to lure people to follow the route he set. Go down.

There is a shortage of electricity here. Places near the edges of the city and where ordinary people live have power rationing for a period of time almost every day. Limited factory areas will also ration power when there is no production work.

The next big development will require abundant electricity. Some of the high-tech production equipment from the federation will need electricity. New power plants are also in Lynch's plan.

The geographical environment here makes hydropower an almost impossible choice - the plain areas lack huge height differences, and even if wide enough rivers and lakes can be found nearby, it is difficult to form high flow rates in the absence of topographic differences, and one can only go towards Consider thermal power.

At the same time, this can also solve the problem of garbage in the city. The heat generated by burning garbage can replace part of the fuel, which is a cheap combustion raw material.

But it would obviously not be cost-effective for Lynch to hire someone to do this.

He has almost discovered the evil nature of the people of Nagaril. If they don't find someone to keep an eye on the work of recycling garbage everywhere, they may not work all day. Instead, they will find a place to bask in the sun and wait until night At around the same time, I would just pick up some rubbish and go back to work, and get a share of my salary.

Inefficiency and having to pay wages were not an option Lynch liked, so he changed his approach slightly.

Now, as long as one Galileo can "recycle" one pound of dry garbage, it can completely mobilize people's enthusiasm. Not only adult men, but also women and children will join in.

Let’s work together for a better tomorrow in Nagaril!
