Hearing the words "hang him", the strong man''s eyes showed a huge color of panic. He yelled and turned his head to escape.
Gonzalez gave a sneer and a violent wave of his right hand.
"Whoosh! Whoosh
Four water arrows made of sea water flew out of the sea below the city wall and shot at them, instantly penetrating the joints of the strong man''s limbs.
The strong man fell to the ground and cried out.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Two soldiers, as strong as a bear, yelled at the refugees and squeezed into the crowd, dragging the strong man out like a dead dog.
Then, in the silent eyes of a large area, a log was erected high, and a rope was put around the neck of the strong man to hang him.
"Ho ho Ho ho... "
The strong man''s face was in pain and his body was constantly twisting, which made the rope around his neck more and more tight.
His crotch "Dida Dida" leaked yellow liquid, a stink spread.
One minute later, the strong man stopped struggling and hung motionless on the log.
Although he was dead, his eyes were still wide open, his mouth wide open, and he seemed to be accusing of atrocities.
Gonzalez took back his eyes from the corpse, frowned in disgust, and gave a light order:
"arrange for the refugees to continue boarding..."
The officer answered respectfully and began to shout again.
This time, everyone was very cooperative.
The named refugees board the ship honestly, while the refugees who are not called stand still. The refugees who board the kayak also stay in their own place quietly, and dare not move or talk to each other.
The death of the strong man made the refugees deeply realize that these soldiers attached great importance to maintaining order. Anyone who dared to challenge the rules and regulations would be severely punished.
……
In fact, Renault''s core tenet has always been order.
He hopes to reconstruct the social order of the human world according to his own will and make it more in line with the industrial production mode.
Renault''s two powerful organizations, the military and the government, destroy the old order by means of violence, and promote the new order by means of economy and law.
Kindness has never been his goal.
It''s just a part of the new order, which happens to be beneficial to the civilians at the bottom, which makes people mistakenly think that the Lord is a very kind man.
Chestnut, for example, the minimum wage.
If we want to make the social mode of industrialization run smoothly, we must reach a balance between production and consumption.
In other words, the market should consume as many goods as the factory produces.
If the balance is broken, for example, production is less than consumption, it will lead to commodity shortage; if production is greater than consumption, it will lead to economic crisis.
With the popularization of magic technology, the productivity of haichaoling has been growing explosively. In order to maintain the balance, consumption must keep up.
Just relying on the aristocrats and businessmen who account for less than 0.5% of the total population, it is impossible to consume so many goods. A large number of civilians must be allowed to participate in the game.
Therefore, Renault forced to establish a "minimum wage standard", through compulsory means, to ensure the income level of civilians, so that they have a certain consumption capacity.
In Mr. Lei''s basic dish, Haichao collar, the minimum wage standard has already been fully implemented.
In addition, he used high welfare methods, such as various subsidies, to further improve the income of the people.
He also vigorously encouraged fertility through "fertility subsidies" and "free education" to cultivate more "new leeks" and increase consumption potential.
In Qianhu Republic, the factories of Haichao chamber of Commerce, a large number of related factories and some developed areas have begun to implement the minimum wage standard.
With Renault''s continuous exclusion of dissidents and deeper control over the Republic, the scope of the law will be gradually expanded to the whole country.
In the eyes of the common people, all of the above has become the evidence of Lord Lei''s "kindness".
Actually, it''s just a coincidence.
……
Oberma sat on the rickety kayak, watching the huge warship moored in the distant sea, like a mountain, and couldn''t help opening her mouth.
"My God..."
He lived more than 20 years and saw such a huge ship for the first time.
Oberma''s companion, trump, had the opposite reaction. He stared at the warship with an obsessed face and said:
" Oh, this is the twin fleet of the South There is no sail on the deck. This must be the magic power warship mentioned in the current affairs of the tide... "
These two unfortunate people are not residents of Hilton Town, but small businessmen wandering in various villages.
A few days ago, they came to Hilton town together and planned to buy goods. Unfortunately, they were caught in the flood. As a result, they were trapped in the town and experienced the most unforgettable two days in their life.The closer the kayak is to the twin towers, the more amazing the visual impact of the 4500 ton behemoth.
Compared with the three magic boats towing a long string of kayaks, they are just ants at the feet of elephants.
"I seem to smell the food..." Said Emma, sniffing her puzzled face.
"I also smell it. It seems that someone is cooking bean rice porridge..." Trump echoed.
After two days of cold starvation, these two hungry guys are particularly sensitive to food.
They both looked at each other and thought of the sentence that the officer had said: "we will also provide you with clean water and rich food for free.".
There is no doubt that the food is for them.
"I think we can have bean rice porridge soon..." Oberma licked her lips, salivating rapidly.
"I''ll have three bowls later No, five bowls... " Trump nodded heavily and said excitedly.
The "bean rice porridge" of the two populations is the porridge cooked with "bean rice rice rice".
……
In today''s Qianhu Republic, bean rice rice has become a very common staple food, especially in the southern region, most of the people eat bean rice rice.
After all, beans, rice and rice are cheaper and easier to cook than wheat. You don''t have to grind wheat into flour and then make bread like bread.
Two years ago, the tide chamber began large-scale mechanized planting of soybean rice near Lake Indiana.
As of last month, the total planting area has reached as much as 10 million hectares, converted into mu, that is 15 million mu.
With the advanced planting technology and the extensive use of "jinkela", that is, bird dung stone processing fertilizer, the average yield of beans, rice and rice per mu has reached a terrible 630 kg, with a total yield of 9.5 million tons.
This year''s grain output has exceeded 14 million tons.
This not only solved the food problem of the whole country, but also made the thousand Lake Republic the largest food exporter in the world for the first time. Even the kingdom of snow thorns in the far north came all the way to the thousand Lake Republic to buy food.
On the other hand, the sharp increase in grain production has naturally led to a sharp drop in prices, especially the price of wheat. Compared with two years ago, this year''s price has dropped by 60%.
As a result, a large number of farmers went bankrupt and were forced to enter factories and become workers.
During the first industrial revolution on earth, Britain greatly increased the number of workers through violent and bloody "sheep eating people", which objectively provided enough labor for the industrial revolution.
In other countries, Renault launched an agricultural revolution and achieved the same goal by economic means.
In order to alleviate the financial difficulties, the rural aristocrats were forced to sell their land.
Although the harvest of beans, rice and rice led to a sharp drop in land prices, the nobles had no choice.
Everyone knows that Haichao chamber of commerce is bound to expand the cultivation of bean rice rice, and the land price will continue to fall at that time.
So the later the land is sold, the worse it will suffer.
For a while, a huge amount of cheap land poured into the market, and the Haichao chamber of commerce took advantage of this opportunity to purchase land crazily, and the food was very fast.
According to statistics, over the past two years, Haichao chamber of Commerce has acquired more than 80 million hectares of land, or 800000 square kilometers, under the leadership of chamber president Goodall, and directly became the largest landlord of the Republic.
Of these, 20% are developed land and the rest are undeveloped land.
In any case, Haichao chamber of commerce does not need money at all. As long as someone dares to sell, the chamber of Commerce dares to buy as many as it has.
