Meng Han was tossing his own bodyguards, while Patriarch Jerome was extremely shocked at the construction site of the star hotel. The White House had been topped out when Patriarch Jerome arrived, so Patriarch Jerome could not see the construction.
Of course, we don’t know what kind of miracle the many slaves and craftsmen created. However, the construction of Buckingham Palace was carried out under the eyes of Saint Jerome, so we can certainly see it clearly.
A group of foremen who were mentored by Master Howard and then trained by Meng Han in modern junior project management knowledge gave full play to the high efficiency rarely seen in the wizarding world.
Saint Jerome simply couldn't believe his eyes. In other places, it took many craftsmen to work together to lift the huge stone. At the construction site of Buckingham Palace, it was just an animal plus a few ropes connected up and down.
The square box together was easily hoisted and installed in place simply. In other places, if you want to be so easy, you need to invest at least a few strongmen at the level of a great swordsman, or a magician,
However, how many people can really make great swordsmen and magicians work hard on construction sites?
Everything he saw in front of him completely overturned the common sense in the mind of Magic Saint Jerome. If it is so simple, then how can the status and superiority of the magician be guaranteed? A few slave craftsmen plus a horse seem to be connected.
A rogue horse that is not even a military horse can do it. Will magicians have to prove themselves on the battlefield in the future?
His Excellency the Dharma Saint did not get too close to observe carefully because the construction site was semi-enclosed. Although the Dharma Saint could pass through Huangsha City unimpeded as long as his identity was revealed, the Dharma Saint did not do so. As a Dharma Saint
, he also has his own dignity, and he will never allow himself to learn from a group of lowly slaves and ask how they do it, even if he wants to die.
Buckingham Palace also uses white spar from the Menghan quarry. Just from the design drawings, everyone can imagine the beauty and luxury of this hotel. You know, white spar is already one of the most advanced building materials in ordinary aristocratic homes.
, it’s just some wall tiles and floor tiles. Where are the buildings that all use white spar as the wall foundation?
Not only His Excellency Dharma Sheng was surprised, but even the caravans coming and going in Huangsha City were also extremely surprised. Such a luxurious building is not the city lord's palace, not a temple, but just a hotel, just a hotel.
Upgraded version.
Everyone is curious about how much it costs to stay in such a luxurious hotel for a day. Everyone is guessing what the hotel will look like after it is built. What kind of person can enter such a hotel to stay.
Even before Meng Han's publicity, the reputation of Huangsha City's star-rated hotels had already become loud in Huangsha City, and even spread to further places with the merchants who came and went. Every time those merchants stayed in the hotel
When I feel uncomfortable, I will always yearn for it and complain proudly to those ignorant guys: "Even the stones used in the construction of the hotels in Huangsha City are white spar, and your place is nothing!"
Meng Han, who was concentrating on gravity training, suddenly received a report from Demi, saying that the blind girl Amanda wanted to see him. Meng Han was stunned and thought about what Amanda had said to him before.
, nodded and motioned for Demi to invite Amanda to the living room.
"I'm going home." The first thing Amanda said when she saw Meng Han was to tell Meng Han the news. Meng Han thought about it carefully, and when Amanda first came over, it was the Lord of Stormwind City, Adrian, who wanted to send someone.
It had been almost a year since the ambush against him, and it was completely normal for Amanda to want to go home.
"Do you need me to send someone to escort you?" For some reason, Meng Han looked at Amanda's grandfather Roger and felt a little strange. But he still asked with concern: "You know, it may not be very safe on the road.
Safety."
"No, thank you, sir!" Amanda smiled, but without bright eyes, such a smile always makes people feel a little regretful.
"What if..." Meng Han hesitated for a moment. He liked the feeling of chatting with Amanda. When he was with the blind girl, Amanda didn't think he was an adult and his tone of voice was very casual. Meng Han and
When Amanda chats, there is always a feeling of going back to the previous life. We are all equal friends and can talk freely. There are some topics that I have not discussed with Grace Alice, but I have said to Amanda: "I mean if, if I want to
If you stay here, will you stay?"
Meng Han himself didn't realize why he kept Amanda like this. It was strange. Maybe he just missed the feeling before, but after all, Meng Han hadn't spoken to Amanda for half a year. This was Meng Han's decision.
First time since Rock Castle.
"I still have things to do." Amanda was obviously a little surprised, but she quickly recovered and replied quietly.
"Can I help?" Meng Han was still very concerned. Maybe he felt that Amanda was a blind girl, so he couldn't help feeling pity for her. When he said these words, it was definitely a reflection of his heart. He really wanted to help this person who could give
He has a feeling of equality for the poor woman.
"Sir, can I ask you a few questions?" Amanda asked politely without being polite. Of course, Meng Han would have no problem. After nodding, he realized that Amanda couldn't see it, so he answered loudly.
Said: "You ask!"
"Is there any way to feed a large number of people? Just like adults!" Amanda turned her face to this side. Although her eyes were closed, Meng Han seemed to be able to feel a burning gaze.
On oneself.
"Feed a large number of people?" Meng Han was surprised that Amanda would ask such a question, but he immediately understood. Although he had not had an in-depth conversation with Amanda or understood her background, this question
But it has been shown that Amanda is not a simple blind girl.
"It's actually very simple to say." Looking at Amanda's expectant expression, Meng Han didn't hide anything, and quickly replied: "It's nothing more than finding a few profitable businesses, and then everyone can overcome the difficulties together. Strictly speaking, talking about
It’s not about who supports whom. Except for parents and children, no one else has the obligation to support others. If you have been thinking about how to support others, I advise you to give up this idea and maintain the status quo."
"Why?" The blind girl Amanda obviously didn't expect that Meng Han would have such thoughts, and couldn't help but ask in surprise. Even the old man Roger next to him seemed very surprised, looking at Meng Han with a look of displeasure on his face.
believe.
"Maybe you think that I have fed the residents in my territory, or that I have fed the twins in my territory." Meng Han knew that his thoughts would surprise people, so he didn't find it strange at all: "But
, I can still pat my chest and say to the outside world that I am not feeding anyone. Everyone in my territory relies on their own labor to make a living. Maybe I only provide a little job opportunity, but to feed them,
It's them, not me."
"People are lazy. When you think that your enthusiastic dedication is a kind act, others will also think it is a kind act. However, when this kind of kindness becomes a habit, others will not think so." Meng Han waited.
If Amanda and Roger had any questions, they continued talking on their own: "They will think that this is a matter of course. They are used to this kind of charity, and they will enjoy everything you give with peace of mind, and even
You will be blamed for not giving enough at certain times."
"There is a very famous joke. A man has to give alms to a beggar every day, but the money he gives becomes less and less. The beggar asks him why the money he gives becomes less and less. The man replies that he has a wife.
, I have children and need to support them, so I have less money to give to beggars." After Meng Han gave this example, he kept waiting to see how Amanda and Roger performed.
"What did the beggar say?" Amanda frowned, as if she understood, but also seemed not to understand, and asked anxiously.
"The beggar was furious and asked the man sternly: 'How can you use my money to support your family?' What's the answer? Isn't it interesting?" Meng Han said the strange behavior with a smile, and then
Continue to look at the two people.
"Isn't this beggar going too far?" The old man Roger didn't speak. The one who spoke from the beginning to the end was the blind girl Amanda. At this moment, she also felt a little incomprehensible. How could people be like this?
"This is the trouble I'm talking about." Meng Han said helplessly: "If you keep thinking about how to feed everyone, you won't have a good result. No one in my territory depends on me to feed them.
The most I can say is that I gave them a chance to live, not that I feed them. Every twin in my lord's mansion can proudly say to outsiders that they rely on their own labor.
Those who support themselves, there is no question of who supports whom. If I have to say so, I can only say that I am exploiting them crazily, and I am the biggest parasite."
"But, as a lord, isn't it your duty to feed the people under your rule?" Amanda still frowned. Although she listened to Meng Han talk a lot, she still didn't think through some issues thoroughly enough. Maybe she
My thoughts haven't turned around yet.
"As a lord, my responsibility is to lead the people under my rule to live a better life, rather than simply giving them a better life." Meng Han firmly denied this statement: "Sheng Mi's favor, fight with Mi's enmity, the big difference is
Some people don't know how to be grateful when they are used to receiving charity and take it for granted." After saying this, Meng Han also explained the meaning of promoting rice and grudges.
Meng Han is very fortunate that he has paid wages to the twins in his territory according to their work a long time ago, so so far, no one has ever had the idea of turning against each other. As for the guards, although Meng Han paid them regardless of the cost
Cultivate them, but that is in exchange for them working hard for Meng Han somewhere in the future. It can be said that no one owes anyone anything.
"So, what kind of business is the most simple and effective way to solve the problem of people's lives?" As if she didn't want to discuss more on this issue, Amanda quickly changed the topic, but it was still related to business.
"There are several businesses that are closely related to people. No matter where people are, they need these. You can consider trying these businesses." Meng Han did not hide his secrets, although Amanda still had no intention of confessing her identity to him.
, but Meng Han still said what he knew: "No matter who is inseparable from food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., if you master these businesses, as long as the person who plans the plan is not too stupid, you will rarely lose money.
It’s just a matter of earning more or less. I believe that as long as people are willing to work hard, supporting themselves will definitely not be a problem.”
Meng Han can only say this. He can't tell everything in his mind, not even the experiences and insights he had in his previous life, right? But as long as he is a smart person, he will definitely understand what he means. The basic necessities of life are his own.
From nothing to now, isn’t it just relying on these five words?
"Thank you, sir, I understand!" Amanda is really smart. Meng Han just gave her a little nudge, and Amanda came up with this truth from what she has learned these days. Regardless of the hotpot run by Meng Han, the mercenaries
Backpacks, bathroom sanitary ware, silk, or the hotel currently under construction, plus the hugely profitable horse-drawn carriage business I heard from outside, are all inseparable from the scope of clothing, food, housing and transportation. It can be said that Meng Han has already told the most basic things.
Amanda, as for how much Amanda can perform, it all depends on her own ability.
"Sir, if I can treat my people equally, and everyone gets what they deserve equally, I think they won't have any complaints about it, right?" After talking about ways to make money, Amanda seemed
I was still a little unwilling to give up, or my imagination of human nature was too beautiful, so I said these words.
"Utopia!" This was the word that flashed through Meng Han's mind. However, he did not say it out loud. Amanda seemed to be kind-hearted, so she judged others by herself and still had some naive understanding of the world. Meng Han didn't want to
The blow was too much, so she couldn't help but advise: "It's okay to treat everyone equally, but we can only give everyone opportunities equally, rather than giving these things equally to all people. If you insist on insisting, I can only say this
."
Looking at the insistent face of the blind girl Amanda, Meng Han couldn't help but shook his head and turned to the old man Roger: "Old Roger, no matter whether you are Amanda's grandfather or not, I hope you can do something. If Aman
