Chapter 21: Awakening

Lu Yuanming was as busy as a dog at the construction site of the nuclear power plant, grabbing some sleep in a tent whenever he was tired, eating and drinking with the workers when hungry, and guzzling cold water when thirsty. When even a territorial leader like him worked in such a way, it was needless to say that others would work even harder. The principle was not to worry about having too little, but rather about being unequal. If the ones at the top worked themselves to the bone, those below would only work even harder.

There was no one slacking or cheating on the whole construction site, in part because Lu Yuanming led by example, and in part because everyone working there was provided with ample meals daily, including a piece of fatty meat for breakfast and a bowl of meat soup for dinner, which was practically a landlord's menu in Mian Guo!

Apart from that, the workers on this site could earn one-tenth of the labor value obtained by the citizens within the territory!!
