It is already spring in March of another year in this world.
Zhou Li'an is 28 years old and is approaching his thirties. His career has just started. He has been divorced once but has no children...
What’s good about raising children?
It's better to keep pets.
One is a fox and the other is a puppy.
Foxes have fluffy tails, and puppies are more greedy, commonly known as licking dogs.
This Christmas, Patricia came back once. The annual meeting of the top management of the Equilibrium Group was held on Cayero Island, and managers from several companies under its jurisdiction were present.
Barbara also stepped into the inner circle for the first time, no longer just doing private work for the boss and ordering statues.
She is a native of Mexico, and she was really shocked when she met Cayero and Juan. Although Cayero is a shareholder, he is also a first-class white-glove front-end person like Jonah and David Liang.
There are also many official big shots present, including the Ministry of Mining and the Ministry of Industry.
The former is the official shareholder of Balance Group. A few months ago, Zhou Li'an dumped 15 tons of gold and increased the production to 3 tons per month and 36 tons per year, which shocked the industry.
After all, the known gold reserves in the Ocampo mining area have been clarified for a long time. Who knows how new discoveries were made under the abandoned mines.
But since we are already on the same boat, no one has explored the specific source of the gold, and no one is stupid enough to ruin their own jobs.
He who sees things through but doesn’t tell them is the only way to be amigo.
This is why Zhou Li'an was extremely generous and gave the official and Cayero shares almost no investment cost.
As long as you give enough, there won't be that much nonsense.
After Christmas.
Two mining equipment companies have started shipping, and the vaccine production line of a pharmaceutical company is also in full operation.
Barbara registered a new personal company for Zhou Li'an, and placed orders and paid cash to many companies under the Balance Group in black and white.
Such a generous gesture brings joy to many parties.
The government originally sent several companies to buy shares in order to solve the loss of assets and employment, which was a bit deceptive...
If the Balance Group does not perform well and several companies go bankrupt after being merged, they will be responsible for solving the problem of personnel placement and compensation.
Who would have thought that after taking over several companies, the Balance Group would find orders so quickly and sign a production order agreement for the next two years.
But Caiello was the only one who knew it.
Mr. Zhou’s generosity is so terrifying!
During this period, of course, a return trip to Juarez is indispensable. Several small workshops have already been merged into the Balance Group, and orders are also placed on a left-right to right-hand basis.
The original steel processing workshop has been expanded several times and is now a comprehensive manufacturer of agricultural equipment, pots and pans, basic building materials, handicrafts, classical weapons, and plate armor.
Although it is expected to start mining and refining steel, the initial output is sluggish, and it is still a learning stage for crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Furthermore.
The Aztecs and the city-state alliance had a total population of more than 4 million, and the population that now radiates throughout Mexico and Guatemala should be more than 2 million more.
Under such a population explosion, food supplies are the primary issue.
More than ten years later, a drought year hit China and the United States, and the extremely extreme weather caused frost to destroy farmland.
Zhou Li'an had to make preparations in advance, so he came up with the Mississippi plan to balance the relocation of new cities in southern North America.
Develop plantations and promote agriculture.
Agriculture is the foundation and does not conflict with industrial development.
The practice of balancing people's laws is inherently accompanied by the development of industrial research, which also involves an educational process.
Now the law monks of the Kingdom of Balance will become the law preachers after the influx of new people.
Then the output of agricultural tools in this world will solve a big problem.
With ready-made farm tools and building materials available, all you need to do is reclaim farmland and build a new city.
If a large amount of labor force of the people of Balance is invested in steel smelting and tool making, it will be equivalent to adding an extra link of mechanical work and reducing efficiency.
It is better to let the next generation of young people study hard, practice the law and explore industry at the same time, while their parents and elders farm the land to make a living and stabilize the foundation of the Kingdom of God.
More than ten years later, new blood came onto the stage, naturally completing a change of era.
It is not advisable to forcefully speed up the pace, even if Zhou Li'an is a cheat user, he cannot do it.
After all, these are millions of lives, and the population is still rising year after year.
Use original history as a reference.
After the mid-15th century, after the disaster years passed, the Aztecs alone had a population of more than 10 million, without animal power for farming.
By the time the colonists landed, this number would have doubled.
So what height will the equilibrium God reach to increase productivity?
Worth the wait.
Zhou Li'an picked up the goods in Juarez and asked Barbara to continue supervising the production because the required amount was huge.
Take farm tools as an example.
The Aztecs did not invent the plow because they lacked animal power.
They used wooden sticks for plowing, and "diggers" equipped with stone blades.
The upgrading of farm equipment involves millions of people, and this order is enough to bring the financial report of the Balance Group to a higher level this year.
Finally, I had a drink with Lao Wang and had a good chat.
Toolman Lao Wang has basically announced that he is offline, but the fur business continues to maintain, with an income of tens of millions per month, which is used as pocket money for system consumption.
As for the future, we do not plan to continue to expand regulations.
The Kingdom of God is perfected, people's quality of life has improved, leather products can be digested by themselves, and there is a demand for clothing, leather goods, etc.
…
Caribbean, Greystone Island.
early morning.
The snow girl got off the ground naked, took a few steps to the window, and skillfully opened the window, letting the sunlight shine in and dispelling the smell of seafood in the room.
Although the sea breeze is also salty, it is not as high as the concentration in the room.
Then the little fox went out and cooked for its owner and another little animal.
Patricia was awakened.
She has always been a light sleeper, and was previously troubled by insomnia, so she took the initiative to seek cryonics to solve the problem.
But it's different now. She has grown up, and there will always be some mental and physical transformations when she grows up.
So, she moved closer to Zhou Li'an and rubbed against him.
Zhou Li'an woke up and said, "Don't make trouble, wasn't last night crazy enough?"
She pooped her legs, sat on her knees obediently, and said in Chinese with a strong accent: "Pig, aren't you happy?"
After all, there is no language environment, and a few months of study can produce such results, which is worthy of appreciation.
Zhou Li'an looked at the white flowers and felt unhappy, which was not consistent with biological science.
About half an hour.
The snow girl came in and asked the master and the servants to get up, exclaiming, "Master, why don't you ask the snow girl to serve you together?"
Then he stared at Patricia angrily.
Two blooms bloom?
It can't be opened.
It was this sentence that scared someone to death.
After that, get up and eat.
Then he said to Patricia: "Go back today, your speaking skills need to be improved, and your vocabulary is not enough... How are you learning Spanish?"
Patricia didn't answer, but asked, and at the same time looked at the snow girl with a hint of jealousy: "Why can't I stay?"
Why?
Do I need to explain to you?
Zhou Li'an just ate and kept silent.
Patricia suddenly reacted, and her questioning tone turned into pleading, "Master, Patricia is also your servant, and she also wants to follow and serve you."
This is right.
The attitude must be correct.
Zhou Li'an said: "Let's wait until you have completely mastered Chinese."
Patricia vaguely knew something. She had witnessed Zhou Li'an and Snow Girl appear and disappear out of thin air.
Naturally, I had some guesses in my mind.
But this is not a mentality of coveting secrets, it is just a simple feeling that it is unfair.
She may have given her whole heart to Zhou Li'an.
However, after modern cultural education, her way of thinking is different from that of Yuki Onna, and her sense of autonomy is much higher than her spirit of obedience.
After all, we are Americans and we value freedom.
Still needs training.
And Zhou Li'an also has his own plans, "Where's Spanish? How are you doing?"
"¥#@..." Patricia used an encrypted language and continued: "It means that Patricia will always be loyal to you, great master."
Although Zhou Li'an didn't understand Spanish, at the Christmas party, he heard Juan and Salvador praise that Patricia was very talented.
He thought for a moment and then added, "Please hire a classical literature teacher from Spain to continue teaching you. Mexican Spanish is still not correct enough."
"Why?" Patricia was puzzled.
Nowadays, Spanish is dominant in Latin America. What is the population of Spain?
Moreover, the existing Spanish language has already undergone expansion and evolution.
The Spanish colonization of Latin America was the same as the British colonization of North America. They both derived new vocabulary based on aboriginal culture.
Such as potatoes, tomatoes, corn, etc., all of which are evolutions of indigenous languages originating from the New World.
At the same time, after hundreds of years of historical changes, contextual grammar will also change.
Just like telling the post-00 generation now, you are so ridiculous...
Thunder God? What Thunder God?
Most of them probably can't understand it.
Some buzzwords will be passed down and even evolve into new languages and cultures, while others will be buried by history.
In the current balanced time and space, the Old World and the New World have not yet merged, and everything has not yet reached its original state.
Modern Spanish is prone to deviations from ancient times.
Therefore, it is necessary to continue studying classical literature.
When Patricia asked.
Zhou Li'an still ignored her, his expression gradually became displeased.
Snow Girl's English is not mature enough, so she was confused by the encrypted communication between the two.
But she is good at observing words and emotions, and is definitely Zhou Li'an's most loyal fan girl.
"Patricia!! You have displeased the master! Why don't you kneel down and accept the punishment!" the snow girl shouted.
Patricia was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand what she heard, she still noticed that Zhou Li'an's expression was unhappy, and she realized that she had made a habitual mistake again.
"Master, I'm sorry..."
Zhou Li'an did not embarrass her, and said calmly: "This is the last time. From now on, just execute my orders directly. You can ask me for advice, but it is definitely not a question!"
"This is the reason why the snow girl can follow me. You haven't gotten used to your current identity yet, so if you continue to maintain your current status, I won't force you to do anything. Everything is voluntary between us, right?"
"If you want to have the same treatment as Yuki-onna, you have to make changes."
Patricia pursed her lips, tears brewing in her eyes, "Patricia knows she was wrong, Master!"
"Get up and eat!"
When she got up, she looked at the angry Yuki-onna a moment ago and found that she had not continued to add insult to injury.
Comparing the two, Patricia gained enlightenment again.
The snow girl never questioned her master's words.
At this time, Zhou Li'an said again, "In addition to classical literature, please invite the best ancient European court etiquette experts to study court etiquette and understand some rumors and secrets after the 14th century. You don't need to go too deep, you have some exposure, and you can probably know it.
good."
Patricia nodded silently, "Master, Patricia will work hard to complete it."
Zhou Li'an smiled...
If it were a snow girl or a citizen of the Balance, there would be no talk of hard work.
You have to do it even if you risk your life.
Take your time, what else can you do?
After meal.
Patricia reluctantly left.
The snow girl has complicated feelings for her, but she knows that only two people can win the favor of her master.
Besides, a pair of girls have already been sincere and have done everything. They are so intimate.
The snow girl took off the necklace she carried with her, which was actually a small iron sign that represented balance. "This is a gift for you. If you miss the master, just say the word "balance" silently... say "balance" after me, "balance!"
Patricia had no friends all her life.
Like the snow girl, they have complicated feelings for each other.
She was stunned for a moment after receiving the gift, then silently said, "Balance?"
"Hehe, that's right! You should learn quickly. If the master blesses you, I will take you back to the Kingdom of God for a horseback riding outing. It will be fun."
Patricia still didn't understand. The two of them were talking like chickens and ducks, "Next time, I'll give you a gift."
That's it.
Zhou Li'an did not delay.
The surveillance camera saw Patricia boarding the ship to Cayero Island, and took the snow girl with her through time.
…
Equilibrium Year 11, September 19th.
Starting from the north of Sonora and going south, you will gradually complete the exploration of the state.
At the end of the day's exploration, I descended with the [Eye of the Void] to gaze at the city in the lake and Chimalpopoka on the road to redemption.
After confirming that nothing happened, we did not stop.
Return to the present world at night and start editing the recorded video of this line.
The workload is huge.
On the one hand, it is the resource labeling of the mining area, as well as the road topography map captured by Zhou Weiguo and the airborne camera.
These materials are to be handed over to the Kinkou Military Academy for strategic deployment.
Although it does not require too detailed splicing, the amount of data is huge, and rough cutting is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
On the other hand, the punishment for the Aztecs' alliance with the city-states came.
These scenes will be edited into a movie and screened in various cities in the country.
Zhou Li'an plans to introduce subtitles for the first time.
Let the law monks watching the movie know the general situation.
The sinners caused God's wrath and punishment because of their belief in false gods... The tragic experience of Chimalpopoka in the army was also spliced later.
In addition, the text introduces the ins and outs of the "Road to Redemption".
The sin king Chimalpopoka took responsibility for his sins for his ancestors and people, explored the temple of the gods, and sought salvation with a repentant heart.
With the addition of storytelling, the level of the film has improved.
More than 90% of the population are illiterate, but each tribe has excellent law monks. As long as these people understand it, they can spread the "story" to each tribe and become a talk for the people after dinner.
This belongs to the category of spiritual civilization construction.
The people of Balance must listen to the story...
Then you will be more pious towards our true Lord God and look down upon those ignorant people.
Believe in false gods?
Those who cannot be forgiven should be sentenced to eternal annihilation.
It was very painful to edit the video, but if you can build your own country, you have to keep doing it even if you cry.
September 24th.
Southwest corner of Sonora state.
The Equilibrium Sacred Instrument took off, faced the sea, flew over the Gulf of California, and headed for Baja California Sur.
Starting from the southern part of the peninsula and exploring north, you can return to equilibrium along the way.
This area has never been explored, and many tribes have been found along the way, most of which are branches of the Miwok people, who make a living by hunting and fishing on the coast.
Zhou Li'an bestowed blessings on them and issued an oracle——
The north of the earth is the location of the happy kingdom of the gods.
If you wish to surrender, you can make a pilgrimage to the north.
There is only one road on the peninsula, so there is no such thing as getting lost.
Once you enter California, it is a balanced territory. It is easy to be discovered and eventually find the organization.
This eliminates the need for large armies to go into battle. There are only 10,000 people left in Baja California Sur, scattered across various tribes, and without a unified organizational structure.
October 4th.
The journey to the peninsula, which stretches for 1,000 kilometers, ends.
After several months, the map of China and the United States has been fully opened.
to noon.
Palm Springs.
The outline of the big city has not yet appeared, but it is obvious that the oasis next door has expanded. The balanced people on the land are busy expanding waterways and laying the foundation for the construction of this new city.
When the Sacred Artifact of Balance passes high in the sky...
The people all knelt down to worship and praise.
"My Lord is back!"
"Quick, send people back to the main city!"
The same thing happened in Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Fresno... Even Zhou Li'an deliberately turned east, went around the Owens Valley, and then returned from the No. 6 city of Stokes.
The colleges in various cities and the Hall of Elders were very excited.
The carriage was prepared and the pilgrimage started.
There are also light cavalry going ahead, carrying reports from each city and setting off.
Afternoon.
The Holy Artifact of Balance arrived and landed in the central altar square, and the city was already buzzing with people.
Balanced prosperity, although not as good as the peak of Chinese and American culture...
But here, Niu Shi, Xiao Hua and Zhou Weiguo only felt ashamed.
The city-states are constantly fighting, so how can they balance the hearts of all the people and be enveloped in the joy and joy of the glory of our true God?
The snow girl looked at the three of them and snorted coldly, "These days, my Lord is merciful and teaches you the law, but it does not mean that the punishment of the crime is avoided."
"I will represent my Lord, Balance, and judge your sins in front of all people!!"
