Chapter 406 Human is a social animal
Rouyun County Government.
"What? You want to donate all your family property, Mr. Zhao, did Chen hear that right?"
"You heard me right! I deeply admire the County Magistrate's ambition. In order to support the County Magistrate's great cause and in response to the call of the Holy Lord, the old man is willing to donate all his family property to the county collective. I hope the County Magistrate will fulfill his wish! "
"Since the old man is so broad-minded, Chen is not an ungrateful person. In this way, on behalf of the people of the county, Chen promises to give you ten places for the old man.
Old man, you just need to take people to the cafeteria to eat every day. As for clothes and shoes, someone will send them there! "
"Thank you, magistrate, for fulfilling the task!"
Chen Chuanguang nodded and smiled, and then ordered: "Lao Liu, you go and ask our third uncle to say that the old lady of the Zhao family is sick, and ask her to go there. By the way, you can also ask someone to go to the canteen and call a few times." Share the food and let the ladies of the Zhao family take a break!"
"Yes, Brother Chuanguang!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao bowed his hands and thanked him again, "Thank you so much, Lord County Magistrate, for your kindness!"
"The old man is polite!"
……
After a while, Mr. Zhao and the eldest son of the Zhao family walked out of the county government gate and came to the street.
At this time, the eldest son of the Zhao family said anxiously: "Dad, we can just give the land over. Why did you donate all the family property?"
Zhao Da couldn't understand.
After donating the land, he would have food and clothing, and he would no longer have to be ostracized by his companions, nor would he be looked down upon by the people around him. Why did his father directly donate the family property?
Isn’t the Zhao family completely finished with this donation?
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he smiled bitterly, "Do you think Dad wants to do that? Dad can't help it!"
"no way?"
Mr. Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief and explained: "It's not like you haven't experienced the methods of our county magistrate. This time for the sake of land, he can completely isolate our Zhao family and make it impossible for us to survive.
Next time, will he have any new tricks and start to punish us again?
Old man, I now understand that they are targeting other words, it is aimed at those powerful people and wealthy businessmen who are different from ordinary people. "
"Then we?"
Zhao Da was still a little unwilling.
After all, their family's property has been passed down from generation to generation.
More importantly, these are the basis for his endless eating and drinking, and the cornerstone of his enjoyment of life.
Now that all these are gone, what can he do? Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao shook his head.
"You, it's better not to think about that!
Think about it, how long have we not opened our restaurants, cloth shops, rice shops, and oil shops?
I'm telling you, three whole months.
Within three months, our business had already to mention the future.
If you think about it again, given the current situation, will our businesses be able to open stores one day? "
Zhao Da shook his head.
They all need customers, but the customers are all at the county collective, and they even get free food, free clothing, and free food. How can they deal with this? This can't be fixed at all!
So their restaurants, Midian, are said to be assets, but in fact they have already become waste products.
Just thinking about this, Zhao Da was still a little dissatisfied.
"Then, you can keep it as a family property and leave it to your grandson or great-grandson!"
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Zhao heard this, he sneered, "Leave it to them? Leave it to them so that they will be ostracized and gossiped about by others since they were young.
You are an adult and you can't bear it. Do you think they can bear it?
People who don't have what they have are prone to jealousy from others, but the county magistrate gathered all the things they didn't have and made them rich.
Think about it, we are not in the same circle as them, how can they treat us?
Even if we don't do it right, some people will go directly to our door to poop, because we are different from them! "
"Is that impossible?"
Zhao Da was a little surprised and stunned when he heard that someone dared to defecate in front of their house.
Shiting everywhere, how bad is this! In this regard, Mr. Zhao said: "If you think so, we have donated all our property now, and from now on we will be ordinary civilians. At this time, when you look at the Wang family's high-end compound, will you feel jealous.
Do you feel a sense of schadenfreude when you watch the other person eating leaves and bark and being unable to pull them off? "
Zhao Da was speechless.
Mr. Zhao continued: "So, this is what the sage said, 'Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality'! Our family has donated, why should he not donate! Our family has become ordinary people, why should his family?" Still a wealthy family.
Just look at it, they won't last long! "
Hearing this, Zhao Da looked at the tall and luxurious canteens and schools around the county government office, and then at the Wang family compound at the corner of the street in the distance, silently.
It won't take long. When all the buildings in the city are renovated and when all the new buildings take up the entire county, the tall courtyard of the Wang family will naturally be much shorter.
It may even become the shortest and oldest place in the county.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled and looked at his father beside him.
It seems that ginger is still old and spicy!
"Dad, your eyes are the most powerful!"
……
With the surrender of the Zhao family, the remaining Wang family, Lu family and other families also began to change their minds.
After all, while they were eating white rice and white-flour steamed buns, they were eating glutinous vegetables. No, they had no vegetables at all. They had even dug up all the vegetable roots in the yard.
Such a strong contrast directly caused the young masters, ladies, lords and ladies of the major families to be psychologically unbalanced.
What's more important is that now they don't dare to go out at all.
Once you go out, you will definitely receive countless rolls of eyes and abuse.
Some people even ignored them.
Just ignore them, don't look at them, don't talk to them, this directly makes the ladies of various families collapse.
Without the support of other people, they seem to have lost the meaning of life and the need to exist.
Coupled with not being able to eat well or sleep well all day long, some people even thought of committing suicide.
In this way, after several incidents, the remaining families could no longer hold on and expressed their surrender one after another.
Although they had stopped the incident several times, they were worried that if this continued, their family's population would really decrease.
If in the end, they were left alone, it would be better to hand over the family property as soon as least this can make them appear great, show that they are self-sacrificial for others, and show that they are morally noble.
……
County government.
When all the land in the city was collected, Chen Chuanguang immediately coordinated it all and carried out a more reasonable plan.
Finally, half a month later, meats such as chickens, ducks, fish, and shrimps cultured in large quantities began to be put on the market in large quantities, making the living standards of the people in the city higher again.
At the same time, with the help of adult night classes, some skilled workers with knowledge began to modify tools and lathes under the guidance of Lianhu Island technicians.
……
There are clouds somewhere over Rouyun County.
"My dear friend Congrui, may I ask what this modification tool, the modification lathe, does?"
"That's right, we want to develop arithmetic, why are we still doing all kinds of weird tricks now? Little friend Congrui, are we going in the wrong direction?"
"Seniors, what you said is wrong! It is said that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. With the support of tools, we can produce more products, and in this way we can support more 'idle people' to study. Arithmetic, study and practice theory.
If everyone has to waste their brains and energy on eating, drinking, and peeing every day, then how can they have time to contribute to us? "
"This……"
After hearing this, all the Jindan nodded silently.
This is indeed the truth. How can people think about arithmetic that is useless to them when they don't have enough to eat?
Just like these Jindan masters, before they became Jindan, they didn't dare to stop for a moment and were working hard to earn resources. As for enlightenment and insights, they didn't even think about it.
I haven't even achieved a golden elixir, so even thinking about it is in vain.
It is better to practice honestly and then make up lessons when the cultivation level is reached.
However, this mortal is different from them after all! "But that's not right. We can directly produce a large amount of food for them, and even use magic weapons to directly create a large amount of clothes and shoes. Wouldn't this solve the problem?"
"That's right, any rain can produce tens of millions of kilograms of food. If we just refine a few magic weapons, it will be enough for the whole city to wear clothes. Let them do it by themselves, which is a waste of manpower. What a waste of time!”
Chen Congrui laughed when he heard this, "Seniors, you may not know something. Not everyone can study arithmetic, and not everyone can have the wisdom and perseverance! We can select wisdom and perseverance, but as for the rest, we can't let them eat and sleep, and sleep and eat, right?
This is going to be problematic.
So whether it is for the stability of society or to maximize our interests, we should find the right direction for others, let others have something to do, and still do things they think are meaningful and valuable. "
"Can't you just lie down?"
Some golden elixirs are puzzled.
It's so good to lie down here, eat and sleep every day, and eat after sleeping, so comfortable.
Chen Congrui laughed and said: "Senior, you might as well think about it this way. If someone gives you enough food and spiritual food, but doesn't let you continue to practice or enlightenment, what will you think?"
"Of course it's him!"
"Yes, of course we have to kill him! But if we can't do it, will they sabotage our plan? For example, just go on a killing spree, or even kill those arithmetic masters who are most useful to us?"
"Then we can imprison them!"
"Senior, you might as well think about it again. If you are a master of arithmetic under our banner, but your family is imprisoned in a small room and raised like pigs, and can only sleep and eat, what will you do? how to think? Senior, arithmetic and cultivation theory ultimately rely on human wisdom. Although forcing this method is feasible, it is not long-term at all.
If we want them to do their best for us, we should solve their worries so that we can grow bigger and stronger. "
Speaking of this, Chen Congrui added: "This is how we do it on Lianhu Island! Our accomplished seniors over the years should also know that we can't be wrong!"
As soon as these words came out, the clouds fell into silence again.
After a long time, someone nodded and said: "Since you have experience, let's do what you want! Anyway, we just need to learn!"
"Yes, yes, do what you want!"
……
After a while, someone else asked in confusion: "Then we collected all the land before?"
Chen Congrui said: "Seniors, based on our experience on Lianhu Island, the fairer and more open the social system is, the easier it will be for people to engage in the jobs they are most interested in, and it will be easier for them to work hard for it throughout their lives.
In the field of research, talent and interest play almost the same role.
We haven't studied talent thoroughly yet, but as for interest, we can cultivate it and give them a relaxed environment, so as to maximize our benefits.
Let them solve more problems for us.
As for another aspect, don’t you seniors think that those landlords occupy too much land?
Why do we have five acres per capita here, while they have hundreds or thousands of acres per capita over there? We are immortal cultivators, here to guide mortals to contribute to us, not to work for landlords like them, not to be their servants! "
"Uh... well... what little friend Congrui said is indeed reasonable!"
As for the former, they naturally have nothing to object to.
People on Lianhu Island have experience, so they can just follow suit.
As for the latter part, they did not agree with it before. After all, most of their own children and grandchildren are also part of the landlords.
It was only after Chen Congrui finished speaking that they realized that the forces on the mortal side had been integrated into a whole by them, representing the world of cultivation, at least the interests of all the cultivators in their ten directions sea area, and all those who are interested in the path of the soul. Interests.
As for those landowners, they represent the personal interests of their descendants.
One is for the younger generation personally, the other is for the future and the interests of the monks. They can naturally distinguish which is more important.
Therefore, they have no objection to this item and will just follow the current implementation.
But at this time, someone asked curiously: "My dear friend Congrui, I dare to ask who invented the idea of cutting off food, supplies, and interpersonal relationships, and it is so poisonous!"
That's right, they have seen people in trouble before, but this is the first time that they have forced those big families to use their resources to donate their land and property, and even do it openly and without any negative impact.
This shows how vicious this strategy is.
Hearing this, Chen Congrui said proudly: "Of course this was my father's idea?"
"Holy Lord? The Holy Lord is so talented, I admire him so much!"
Well, the Jin Dan who asked the question immediately changed his mind and said that he was a great talent from the Holy King.
In response, Chen Congrui smiled slightly, held his head high and said:
“My dad once said that man is a social animal.
Once separated from society, that person is no longer a human being, but a beast, a devil, and an evil spirit!
So our idea is to directly isolate him, separate him from society and the crowd, and put him on the opposite side of society.
In this way, unless it is a real big devil, few people can stand it! "
In this regard, all the golden elixirs have nothing to say, they can only praise "the holy king is a great talent!"
However, they sighed silently in their hearts, this holy king is so cruel! This method can be thought of.
He is worthy of being the Saint King who killed someone and silenced the entire world! (End of this chapter)
