Chapter 67: Different Cities (2080
"What should I do if the villagers choose you in the future?" Luo Youde immediately thought of a possibility.
"That means they don't need me anymore, or they have found a better candidate. Since no one needs it, of course I'm going to be out of bed. Should I still be on the board of directors?" Hong Tao curled his lips. He would not have this crisis in a short period of time. God knows, I will talk about what happened in the future later.
"What if someone uses money to bribe the villagers?" Luo Youde's brain is very good, and the two questions he asked are key.
"Borrow it? Have you seen the tallest tree there? People in the village never go around it because I nailed several people to the big tree. There are rules here, and some rules cannot be violated. If you commit them once, you will never have a chance to change it." Hong Tao pointed to a tall pine tree by the river. All the trees around it were cut down, and it stood alone.
"Strict punishments and severe laws are not enough to continue rule. The pre-Qin period was because the laws were too strict, so they forced the people to rebel." Luo Youde was worthy of being a child of an official family. Even if he was born in a vassal and became a businessman, he could still quote the scriptures. This must be the merits of a boy.
"Well, this is the reason, so not all of them are severe laws, there are only a few that cannot be touched, and the other rules are very relaxed. Actually, I can't talk about any laws here, and it's not that detailed yet. Everyone just lives together and has no wages to get. All daily necessities are provided by the cooperative. This method is short-term and small-scale, but it is definitely not a solution in the long run. More detailed and effective management methods must be established. But I guess it won't be enough. I don't have that much time to manage these, so I suggest that both Wen and Brother Luo participate in it.
Come to this work and help me establish a more appropriate method. Don’t you want to realize your ambitions? Whether it is a country or a huge business, is it a great sense of accomplishment to set rules for it yourself?" Hong Tao agreed with Luo Youde’s statement that simplicity and rudeness alone is not a long-term solution. Once the Jinhewan develops for a few more years, various problems will arise after the population increases. This big pot of rice cannot be eaten all the time. It always needs to change to the structure of the country, even if it is not called a country. In fact, it is.
"..." Neither Luo Youde nor Wen Nan responded to Hong Tao's words. Although Hong Tao's behavior cannot be considered a rebellion, it is almost the same. They both proclaimed themselves as kings. How can they make decisions? Following Hong Tao together. That is not the same as betraying their own country! Accuse Hong Tao of not doing this? They are not Song people at all, but their ancestors lived on this land. At that time, there was no Song Dynasty at all. They could not use the Song Dynasty's laws to demand the Tang Dynasty people, right? Persuading Hong Tao to surrender to the Song Dynasty? Not to mention Wen Nan, who has tried many times and was criticized, Luo Youde knew very well that Hong Tao could not listen to him.
"It doesn't matter, think slowly, see slowly, when you are interested, when you come to me. This matter cannot be completed overnight, maybe it will not be enough for our whole life. I don't want to establish a dynasty. I just want to take everyone to change their lifestyle, a more relaxed and balanced way of life. As a result, I don't know it myself, so I won't force you to follow me to experiment with your whole life. But this does not affect our normal relationship. I am not a thief in the Song Dynasty. It should be okay for me to do business with me and write books, right?" Hong Tao is not very good at convincing others, mainly because he disdains to fool people on such issues. He prefers to say ugly words in front of them and make more serious difficulties. Those who are happy are naturally happy. Those who are unhappy do not force them, because he does not have a hard requirement for himself, and he will do whatever he can. He will not lose his heart if he can't play. I have worked hard and have poor ability.
"Look, this is my horse farm. These dozens of horses were just transported back and were not very adapted to the climate and environment here. It would take some time to live. The horses we rode were the ones we exchanged for last year. It is completely fine now. But it is not very useful for me. Apart from practicing horse riding for the children, we can neither cultivate the land nor carry it. It is basically a waste of time." Three people and three horses walked all the way through the villages and towns, passing through several rows of big trees, and suddenly became empty. They had already reached the edge of a hilly area. There were no trees on this land, mainly shrubs and weeds. One of the hillsides surrounded a large piece of land with wooden railings, and a group of horses were raised there.
"The big house over there is the government here?" Luo Youde looked back at the village and town he had just passed by, as if he was looking for something. Finally, he pointed to the tallest house in the middle of the village and town and asked.
"Official government? That is the place where children teach. There is no government government here, only a meeting hall, next to the dock, and is with the warehouse." Hong Tao turned his head and thought about it, and understood Luo Youde's meaning. Since ancient times, the government government was always a village, town, and the highest and conspicuous building in the city. The government represents imperial power, which is high and high. But the best place in Jinhewan is the school. The houses there are not only the highest and most exquisitely made, but also a large playground. Children can play on it. Hong Tao also invented many sports equipment for this purpose, such as badminton rackets made of whale baleen and whale tendons, badmintons made of bird feathers and cork, rugby sewn with whale skin, single and double bars, climbing frames, swings, etc.
If outsiders enter the classroom here, they will be even more surprised. The mahogany carved desks and chairs in the classroom are covered with Persian carpets on the ground, and oil lamps made of gold and silver will be lit as soon as they go to class. Every child has exquisite clothes, stationery and toys, and the people in the village want to inlaid the school with gems before they are happy.
Why is this happening? Because Hong Tao promoted a proposal and was approved by the board of directors, it officially became one of the rules of Jinhewan. This rule stipulates that all living and dead people in Jinhewan, food, clothing, housing and transportation, cannot exceed the school level. For example, if you want to suggest that you eat abalone every meal in the canteen. OK, yes, you can make the food in the school more advanced than abalone, and you can eat abalone every meal. If you want to build a house in your home into a two-story building, it is okay, but you must first find a way to build a house in the school into three floors. If you want to wear silk, silk and satin, there is no problem. For more than 100 children in the school, you can have two good clothes for each of them to have one.
Under this rule management, as long as there are more than a thousand people in the entire Jinhewan who want to enjoy it, they must convince most people to agree, and then raise the school level so that they can enjoy it themselves. Having three children at home is considered a benefit, and the family deserves no children. Who makes you have no children? If you don’t marry so many Persian and Byzantine beauties, you will be anxious to death!
"Even the children of slaves can be here?" Luo Youde couldn't tell the good or bad after listening to the school rules that Wen Nan explained to him. He agreed to ask more children to read and read, but he had no say in whether it was appropriate to use such a high specification. He never thought about this thing. When he saw with his own eyes that the children in the school had different skin colors and appearances, he immediately understood where these children came from. Then, like the old man Bofu, he sucked his teeth. How much does it cost!
"Under the age of fifteen, you must go to school to study. Slaves are just a temporary stopgap to make up for the shortfall of the population. It cannot be maintained for a long time. Sooner or later, they will become part of here. Let their children receive education, which is also my compensation for them. I also want to establish a sailing school in Guangzhou to teach world geography, arithmetic and Chinese language. When they grow up, they also know the words and literacy, but they don't have to go to the exam. They can be a translator, an accountant, and a senior sailor on the ship. I dare not say anything else, my abacus skills should be considered awesome in the Song Dynasty, right?" Hong Tao was rather modest this time, and only boasted about his abacus skills, because only this ability can make the Song people regarded as the right path. Other knowledge was not valued by this era, and no one bought it for a long time.
"Mr. Hong is too modest. Wen is not as good as your achievements in numerology. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to beat Mr. If Mr. Zhu is willing to take this skill out and pass it on, it will definitely benefit future generations." Today is the most respectful day in Wen Nan's eyes. Hong Tao's image suddenly became taller in his eyes. The brutal and bloodthirsty pirate leader transformed into a great charity who shares the country's worries and is enthusiastic about educating. Although he still doesn't believe in Hong Tao, these things are all in front of him and you can't ignore them. Wen Nan is still fair in this regard. He is not right to others. As long as it makes sense, even if it comes from what Hong Tao said, the kidnapper, he is willing to nod and agree. It should be said that he is a person who seeks truth from facts.
"Hehehe... Do you say this school is named after me? Will future generations write me into history books?" Unfortunately, Hong Tao is too lazy and doesn't even want to spend his energy on pretending. He made a generous speech a second ago, and then he smiled wickedly and began to think about fame and achievement. This virtue made Wen Nan and Luo Youde unable to find a suitable vocabulary to praise him.
Hong Tao did not take Luo Youde to visit the industrial area on the south bank of the river. There were too many secrets there. Not to mention Luo Youde, even Wen Nan, who had lived in Jinhewan for almost two years, had never been there. There were no details on the south bank from the north bank. Except for a few large water trucks that were constantly rotating, there were two forging hammer workshops near the water truck, only part of the shipyard was exposed by the river. More workshops were hidden behind the dense primeval forest, half a mile away from the water. Hong Tao specifically asked slaves to be in the primeval forest
Several open spaces were cut down and all the dangerous and polluted workshops were placed inside. In this way, there were trees between the workshops, and even if an accident occurred, it would not be easy to affect each other. As for large-scale forest fires, Hong Tao had long thought that there was a fire belt more than 300 meters wide and three kilometers long in the south of this primeval forest. It would eventually isolate this industrial area hidden in the forest from the entire primeval forest. (To be continued.)
