Chapter 156
"Once upon a time, there was a group of people who lived on an island from generation to generation. Everything on this island belonged to these aborigines. They lived very happily. Suddenly one day, Some boats came, pointed at them with lances and sharp swords and said, 'From today, this island belongs to me, and you are all my subjects.' The people on the island were stunned, they couldn't resist , I can only obey, but my heart is very hateful.
However, fifty years have passed, the Island Lord has continued to harvest wealth, and the people on the island have to spend money to buy even the land where they live. Education on the island, educating the next generation to love the Island Lord, to love the island that belongs to everyone, and continue to use some operas, performances and other things to promote the greatness of the Island Lord, how happier our island is than other islands.
At this time, if someone says that the island actually belongs to the aborigines, even though the person born in the past 50 years is burdened with debt, he will be severely reprimanded, 'Are you still a person from our island?'
Gradually, no one dared to say it, and then gradually they got used to it. Although they knew that they were not as happy as other islands, they would find their own advantages to convince themselves. , for example, our island is the safest island, our island is the strongest island, etc. At this time they will feel very happy.
After a long time, they will feel It's normal, but if the Island Lord doesn't do this? Instead, he treats them well, and they will feel normal after a long time."
Ji Yonghao told the story slowly, Zhang Guang But he was stunned and asked: "How could they feel happy? Are those aborigines stupid?"
"Really so." Ji Yonghao seriously nodded, said: "Brother Zhang , This is the role of propaganda and education, as long as civilians let them live, don’t let them live, no matter how you treat them, as long as time goes by, they will feel normal, so why give them more?”
It's like Ji Yonghao has read some lord novels in his previous life. The protagonists hired some slaves. They had a very difficult life. They had to do a lot of work every day and only had a few hard steamed buns to eat. , The clothes are not covered, and the place where you live is also leaky.
However, the protagonist hired them and insisted on giving them the treatment that only big companies have on Earth, not only taking care of three meals a day, giving them high wages, and giving them one day every seven days. Holidays, as well as various holiday holidays, give them an eight-hour work day, manage work injuries, and promise to let them work until the age of sixty to retire, as well as pensions and so on.
Ji Yonghao is really puzzled, why should you? They live reluctantly. Let them work ten hours a day, have a place to live, and have food to eat, so they will definitely work for you, and treat them so directly, but they will not feel at ease, they will feel that you What's the purpose, because in this world, they have already regarded it as normal to only take care of food and then work hard.
For example, on Earth, an ordinary wage earner thinks four or five thousand a month is normal, but if someone gives him 100,000 a month and only works ten days a month, his first thought is This man is a liar! But if he is given 10,000 yuan a month, and the rest is treated according to his perception, then he will definitely be very grateful and will work hard!
So, to manage a city well and keep benefiting the civilians is simply thankless, not only will you lose yourself, but the civilians will also be uneasy, as long as it is slightly better than other places.
Zhang Guang doesn't know how to refute Ji Yonghao. He has been trained and prepared to become a king since he was a child. These words simply subvert his world view. Why do commoners in this world live happily? That is because the country basically does not fight, so there is no need to develop the military. As long as there is expert suppression, it will lead to no military expenditure, so the country collects less tax.
What is the purpose of the war? Land and resources are the fundamental reasons for wars, but in this world, humans only occupy 1% of the land, and there are a large number of wilderness outside. Not all the wilderness has devil beasts and can be occupied at will, so why fight?
The second point is that there is no need to buy a house. Some villages outside the city build their own land. Although it must be bought in the city, it is also very cheap. Besides, the commoners who farm and support their families will not go to the city at all. Buy.
So, as long as the commoners farm well, all the income will be used to improve their lives.
Although Zhang Guang does not agree with Ji Yonghao's way of governing the country, he is not a soft-hearted person. Although he feels that Ji Yonghao is cruel to the commoners, he will not persuade Ji Yonghao.
Are Ji Yonghao's methods really cruel? No, if anyone is willing to settle in Holy Soul City, then he will definitely make a profit, as the saying goes well, technology is the primary productive force, but he can't tell Zhang Guang this, Zhang Guang doesn't understand what technology is.
For example, both sides of the Lanting River in the south of Holy Soul City are large plains. Farming here can be completely mechanized. Two people can do the farm work of hundreds of people, but the extra hundreds of people, Did Ji Yonghao starve to death just because they didn't have a job? Of course not, the items in this world are much less than in the previous life, he will open a lot of factories, let these spare people work, such as the production of soap, such as the production of cosmetics, such as the production of seasonings, etc. Ji Yonghao thought There are countless businesses that the Holy Spirit City cannot digest by itself, and can be sold to other cities. When the time comes, the money earned will continue to be built, and he will run the Holy Spirit City into a paradise on earth, with a copper wall and an iron wall. When the time comes, it is absolutely one. Room is hard to find!
He will control all the business in his own hands, these operators can just let those civilians come, and as long as Weiss is responsible for producing all the machinery and equipment needed by these industries, no one can snatch it away !
Actually, Ji Yonghao can completely guess Zhang Guang's thoughts, but he can't explain what is technology and what is industry, so what if he can? He didn't want to promote technology in this world, so he would keep all the equipment masters in his own hands. If he explained it clearly to Zhang Guang, he also wanted to take a share, or directly asked himself for the equipment, whether he gave it or not. give.
If you give it, you will plant the seeds of technology development in the outside world. There are still many smart people in this world. If you don't give it, it will destroy the relationship between the two.
His plan is that after all the industries are in his own hands, he will only sell finished products, such as harvesters, seeders, and other things that can be sold, as well as suspended flying cars. This is completely guaranteed. , other people cannot develop technology, but they can enjoy the convenience brought by technology.
It's just that the benefits of these things are too great, and the primary goal is to make the iron wall of the Holy Spirit City's operation, and no one can break it.
