"Political Commissar Wu, what happened to you?"

Li Qi looked at Wu Yuechuan, who was wearing plaster on his neck and looked embarrassed, and he couldn't figure out what happened to Wu Yuechuan like this.

Li Qi didn't know what the current supreme commander of Mu Xuguan had experienced, which led to this.

However, Wu Yuechuan obviously didn't want to explain the situation to Li Qi. After hearing Li Qi's words, he smiled bitterly, and then said: "Qi Li Town Committee, the situation is really hard to describe. It's getting late. Do you think you've set off?"

Wu Yuechuan didn't arrive, and he talked about sending Li Qi south to Rongbian Mansion as soon as possible.

"Well, okay, let's go." Li Qi just shrugged his shoulders. Wu Yuechuan didn't want to say it, so don't say it. Li Qi was just curious, and he didn't really need to know the specific situation.

However, Wu Yuechuan was about to send him away quickly, looking anxious to send him away. Thinking about the movement he had at Muxuguan yesterday, Li Qi had no complaints.

After all, it was a mess that Wu Yuechuan did not show off his disgust on his face on his face, and could still come here in person to send him south to Rongbian Mansion. This was already good enough.

"Then Political Commissar Wu, I wish you a smooth career in the future." Li Qi and Wu Yuechuan saluted a military salute to show their farewell.

Wu Yuechuan, who was wearing plaster on his neck, was stunned after hearing Li Qi's words, and then a helpless smile appeared on his face, but he still replied: "Thank you for your kindness in Qili Town Committee. I also wish you a smooth journey and a safe and sound."

After hearing this, Li Qi nodded and said nothing more. The two of them were not familiar with each other and had nothing to say. He turned around and boarded the vehicle behind him that had been ignited and preheated for a long time.

While escorting him, although the escort troops were quite powerful, they had already driven out of the city. Li Qi also took a car to the reserved place outside the city, so naturally he did not cause much reaction.

But there is still a way to this road along the way. Several passers-by were walking from south to north, as well as carriages, and consciously stopped the convoy of the troops and waited for the convoy to pass.

"Comrade, these people should not be citizens of Beilian, are they?" Li Qi sat on the vehicle in the middle of the convoy, looking at the pedestrians, carriages, and things passing outside the window that were stopping by the road. He really didn't lie, and he hadn't seen them for a long time.

Those people were not wearing down jackets, cotton jackets, and other cold-proof clothes that everyone wore, and the clothes on their bodies were even just one or two cloth clothes. Li Qi also caught a glance at an old man wearing only a single dress holding a child with patches on the roadside. The old man was carrying a bundle of valuable wood in his arms. The child's hair was fluffy and his long hair covered his face. It was impossible to see whether it was a man or a woman. However, the child stood by the roadside, holding the old man's hands and kept covering his mouth and breathing.

"Well, Qili Town Committee, you are right. These people are not citizens of Beilian, but citizens of Qiguo who went south." A soldier sitting next to Li Qi, holding a steel gun, heard Li Qi ask him again. He looked out the window and quickly replied to Li Qi, "But these people seem to be in the carriage, who should be from Muxuguan to do some business, and the old man and children, who think they should be poor people who cannot survive from Qiguo, who risked their lives to cross the border to escape to Beilian for survival."

When Li Qi heard this, he turned his head and swept the grandfather and grandson who had not left his sight. Then Li Qi looked at the grandfather and grandson, and suddenly as if he had remembered something, quickly flipped up his backpack and found the SLR camera he had not used for a long time from the backpack. He turned on the camera and quickly took a few photos of the grandfather and grandson. Then Li Qi put away the camera and asked again: "Then won't they come to work?"

Li Qi also roughly learned about some of the situations in Muxuguan yesterday. Muxuguan is also a person from Qiguo who can enter and work as long as he passes the inspection.

After all, no matter how much the population of Muxu Pass is replenished, it is not Zhenbei Pass or Golden Avenue.

For some business tasks that require concentrated labor, the people who only need to be in charge of Muxuguan are definitely not enough, so there are people who come to Muxuguan to work from Qiguo.

"Where can it be!" The soldier has a great view of this. Perhaps because he saw too much of this situation, he said bluntly: "Even if he is a working person, those projects will not recruit such people. Qili Town Committee, you have never stayed at Mu Xuguan. You don't know that those who come to Mu Xuguan to do the work that concentrates labor are not the poor people who cannot survive in Kaiguo, but the slaves who have been slaves from the powerful landlords in Rongbianfu for generations."

"I really don't understand this enough. I will first review myself." Li Qi heard what the soldiers said, first reviewed himself, and then asked: "But what do you mean by those who come to work in the migrant workers are slaves of powerful families?"

Li Qi is still very interested in this.

"Qi Li Town Committee, you said this, I have a lot." The soldier seemed to be unable to control his words, but his serious look just now seemed to be because he was sitting next to him with a big man like the town committee in his eyes, so that he was like this. When this big man had no temper and asked him about some things, the soldier was like talking.

"After Mu Xuguan opened these policies, there were no poor people coming. They were all adult slaves from the powerful families of Qiguo who had been brainwashed and unable to absorb them. The money earned by working was not the ones. They all went into the money of the powerful families. Then the powerful families took the money to Mu Xuguan to buy luxury goods and various luxury utensils. In short, they didn't care what the slaves were doing."

"But why are there no poor people?" Li Qi asked this point.

The soldier's answer shocked Li Qi.

"That's because those Qiguo's own troops who stay on the border are coming to Muxuguan to work and survive, they kill one of them. Those who can pass the border work are either slaves from local families or give money to the garrisons on the border."

"In short, it is the poor, even those who really can't survive, as long as they arrive on the border, they will be killed. If they kill too much, not many poor people will dare to come here."
