Chapitre 1045: The Li Family’s Capability ( 2 )

The sister of the mayor's wife from another city sent over a basket of fruits as a gift before. The mayor had said such fruits were rare, often unavailable even with money and coupons, as they were usually obtained from the black market.

At this moment, he recalled that the city where the fruit was bought was near Xie Village. It seemed the black market middlemen got their supplies from villagers who foraged the mountains in that area.

Though he worked for the government, Pan Chiyan understood the importance of the symbiosis system. Closing th black market could cut off the villagers' livelihood and affect the quality of life for urban residents.

Although personal trading is illegal, he still believes that monopoly is not the answer to improving people's quality of life. They need to give people more freedom to do business.
