Health problems in nagaril have been restricting some industries here, such as tourism.

Don't underestimate tourism. In fact, the contribution of tourism to the economy of this underdeveloped area is far more than the industrial economy that can hardly be talked about here. In many similar countries, tourism economy has become the pillar industry of those small countries.

It is much simpler to build an industrial chain in line with local environmental conditions around tourism than to develop industry.

Nagariel is also rich in tourism resources, not to mention the long high-quality coastline and countless sandy beaches. After entering the inland, whether it is the boundless prairie or the primitive forest that blocks out the sun, it is a great landscape.

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

But why has the tourism industry in nagary developed slowly so far?

After all, it's too dirty.

It is a kind of enjoyment for tourists to experience the original ecological environment, but living in a dirty area is suffering. It seems that the two are similar, but the feeling is completely different.

In addition, some mountains of garbage in the city urgently needed to be cleaned up. Driven by Lynch and other federal businessmen, the city hall held this first meeting in history that did not serve the ruling class - nominally, cleaning up the city's garbage and maintaining sanitation was for the citizens of the city.

Therefore, the people invited to the meeting are basically local people with high moral integrity. The atmosphere of the meeting is very special.

Nagary is a society ruled by different clans. The leader of each large clan is the governor of each province, and then some messy relatives act as the chief of various government departments in various regions.

This has also led to the existence of "Clans" among the people. People living in a village or on a street have evolved into a public clan in the atmosphere of this environment. Among these public clans, those who can play a decisive role are those with high moral integrity.

"... health problems make our people more likely to get sick. I have a document in my hand. From the first day of this year to now, we have a total of......" the mayor looked down at the report in his hand and was stunned.

"... more than 24000 people died from diseases caused by health problems!"

He himself was surprised, and some reporters were also surprised. This kind of thing is always a little incredible for everyone. From their point of view, more than 24000 people die a year, almost more than 2000 a month. On average, at least 60 or 70 people die every day.

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

This is actually the most typical survivor bias, and even a cognitive impairment.

I don't know. It doesn't mean it didn't happen. Many people died in the hospital with poor environment, but not everyone went to the hospital every day to watch and see if they died with others.

Others died at home. In order to avoid being criticized by others, the families of the deceased - in the traditional culture of nagariel, the sick are basically bad people, or bad people in their previous lives.

So when someone in the family is ill and dies, basically the families of the deceased are buried secretly.

In fact, there are more deaths than these. The number of deaths in the slums outside the city is more than this figure every year, and people are too lazy to report upward.

Every time there is a case of fatal infectious disease in the slum, the city hall will send people to disperse the Dalits living in the periphery of the city. They will be driven to the wild. The wild in nagaril is more dangerous. Therefore, when someone dies in the slum, everyone will only secretly burn or bury them in silence and will not publicize these things.

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

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

"Every year, many people die because of health problems. They shouldn't have died. We who are still alive have caused these problems. Therefore, from today on, I need you to pay attention to your personal hygiene and the hygiene around your living place."

The people invited didn't care much about discussing these problems. After a short shock, they have accepted this fact. In the words of local people, these people died to atone for their sins in their previous life, so they will die before they live long in this life.

Since it is the punishment of the gods, it has nothing to do with themselves. Everyone feels that even if he was not a good man in his last life, he is also an ordinary person. At least he can live in peace.

This attitude is also the main reason for nagary's mess. Everyone feels that most things in this society have nothing to do with themselves. How can they make some changes?

Whether it's for this country or for themselves.

The negative attitude made the mayor frown. He tugged at the corner of his clothes and helped him down.

The habit of being a police chief has changed slightly. Only when he feels angry and unhappy, he will pull his clothes. This is a subconscious behavior.

He changed "to let people see my best side" into "to keep decent even if I am angry". This is his mental journey in just over a month.

"This is not a request, please pay attention, this is a request!", his face more indifferent skin smile, meat do not smile, "the city is our city, not one of you."

"From January 1 next year, I will arrange people to patrol. If you find places that do not meet the standards, you responsible people in the streets and those who do not deal with clean garbage will be expelled by this city and MengWu province!"

This sentence is the real earth shattering. If you have to be expelled because you don't manage the health problem well, is that too serious?

Some people stood up and shouted, as if to say that this was a tyranny, which only tyrants would do.

Others say they can't do this at all. Who knows who will throw garbage and who won't throw garbage. If others throw garbage on their side, is it their garbage?

Fighting among the people in nagary has been banned repeatedly. If the mayor can't come up with a further plan and formulate rules so savagely, it is likely that there will be continuous civil fighting in the whole city, which everyone doesn't want to see.

Fortunately, at this time, the mayor shouted "quiet", but the effect was not very good. He even shouted a few times, and his voice was pressed down by the people who said each word, so that he took out a handy baton from the waist of the guard around him, pulled it hard on the table and made a huge noise, which stopped people's desire to express their ideas.

He looked at these people with poor eyes, put the baton on the table and sorted out his clothes and collar. "I invited you to come to give you some face. If you continue to do this, I won't let you know if there is a similar thing next time. Even if I let someone bring a dog!"

Then he glanced at these faces with his bad eyes, as if telling them in this way, "I remember your appearance.".

"Mr. Mayor, we can't blame you. Your request is too unreasonable and we can't do it." someone broke in, and others whispered in agreement.

The mayor frowned slightly, "so I haven't finished..."

He paused a little. "Mr. Lynch and some federal businessmen who invested locally heard that I planned to rectify the city's health. At the same time, they felt that the current power generation in the city was insufficient, so they combined the two things into one."

"They will recycle the dry garbage that can be burned in the city at the price of one gallon per pound. Note that it is dry garbage. It will not drip when lifted in a net bag. All this garbage will be used to generate electricity..."

……

Looking at the "tumultuous" crowd, Lynch didn't show too many smiles on his face. In his opinion, this means has nothing to praise, but the simplest means is to use interests to lure people to follow the route he set.

There is a shortage of electricity here. In the places near the edge of the city and where ordinary people live, power will be limited for a period of time almost every day, and the limited factory area will also be limited when there is no production work.

The next big development needs abundant electricity. Some high-end production equipment from the federation needs electricity, and the new power plant is also in Lynch's plan.

The geographical environment here makes hydropower an almost impossible choice - the plain area lacks a huge height drop. Even if a wide enough River and lake can be found nearby, it is difficult to form a high flow rate in the absence of topographic drop, so it can only be considered in terms of thermal power.

At the same time, it 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 if Lynch hired someone to do it, it would obviously not be cost-effective.

He has also found that the root of the bad nature of the nagarian people is almost the same. If they don't find someone to stare at the job of recycling garbage everywhere, they may not work all day. Instead, they find a place to bask in the sun. When the evening is about the same, they pick up a few garbage and go back to work, and then mix a salary.

Low efficiency and paying wages are not Lynch's favorite choice, so he changed his way a little.

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

Work together for a better tomorrow in nagary!
