Chapter 176 Inspection and Show
In this handicraft workshop with simple equipment conditions, a tall windmill standing outdoors generates lasting power under the wind power, and then operates through connecting rod crankshafts and other mechanisms, and is transmitted to the workshop and transformed into a power source for reciprocating movement.
For those traditional craftsmen who feel a little uncomfortable with using external force driving equipment, they have to learn how to use vises to clamp the pre-polished end of thick iron wire with visors, and then pass the iron wire through a row of holes with large to small holes on the cast iron plate in front of them to pull the wire. Eliminate the limitations of human physical fitness, and use the power provided by the windmill to continuously drag the visors backwards, pulling the iron bars that were originally as thick as ordinary people's thumbs through holes that were smaller than the diameter. These iron rods gradually became thinner and lengthened, and finally made iron wires of uniform specifications. The workers tied them into bundles and tied them with hemp ropes to load them, waiting to be transported to the next workshop.
Although the materials used to make ring armor and mail are iron wire, there are still technical differences. You can use continuous wire to weave them, or you can first process the wire into iron rings and connect them to form a finished armor.
If the iron smelting and wire drawing stages are laborious, the wire weaving process does not require physical strength, but a careful person who can stand it. Considering the consideration of balancing the livelihood and economy within the Wake Reef, Luo Zhengdao decided to outsource the process of woven out early in the morning.
Housewives who have learned how to weave wires and rings can use their spare time to engage in this labor. Some people with skillful minds can even complete a set of ring mail in three to four days. This outsourcing business also caused part of the money Luo Zhengdao's mastery to flow into the pockets of civilians in the settlements of Wick Reef.
An economy with sustainable development capabilities must have a complete internal circulation system. In the old world, some people joked that a wealthy man got up early in the morning and ate breakfast on the street, and at night, his money would automatically return to his pocket, because the main economic lifeline of the entire city is controlled by him. As long as he spends one dollar in the city, a part of it will definitely flow into his pocket.
Luo Zhengdao has studied economics for a few days. Although he changed to Western classical politics by changing jobs in the middle of the process, it does not mean that all the knowledge he learned before has been returned to the teacher. He is very clear about the importance of economy to society. Moreover, students who study international trade in college do not take economics courses, it is as funny as a famous physicist who does not understand mathematics. This is the foundation of the foundation!
Paying the rewards to the pirates and immigrants who are hired to undertake farming and breeding, this amount of money is still a drop in the bucket to support the market of Wick Reef and is not enough to form a positive cycle.
A mature market economy must be consumption-driven, and an outward-oriented economy that depends on investment and exports is unstable. Many facts can prove that this abnormal prosperity is a castle built on a beach, and it will inevitably collapse when encountering strong winds and waves.
Before the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the old world, there was a so-called Asian four little dragons and Asian four little tigers. It was truly a glorious one. When the Asian financial storm suddenly hit, these prosperous economies, like flowers, were almost overnight, were smashed into pieces by large amounts of hot money from hedge funds. The largest economy, and the one-sized chicken in the world, also embarked on the second decade of loss after ten years of loss. How many decades will it take to be lost in Tianxiao to be done after getting the bottom.
The squat chicken, who has always liked to take the ordinary path, simply gave up on itself. The right path cannot be done, so it will be better to go the evil path. The narrow and stubborn extreme character of the island country is particularly prominent. When the economy is insufficiency, you have to rely on the nationalist banner to incite emotions to divert internal conflicts.
It is hard to say that such a clumsy political trick, if you look at history books, it is a trick played by our ancestors. It can still be tried and tested in the new century, which has to put a huge question mark on the IQ of the human group.
The academic research circles that people who study economy are exposed to are relatively professional. Even if they can't get first-hand black materials, they can still make up for them afterwards by combining various information. At least they know more inside information and processes of the financial crisis than the ordinary public. Benefiting from the convenience of the environment he was in at that time, Luo Zhengdao also understood how a knife of capital operation was a powerful weapon for killing people without blood, so he was even more afraid of the financial tycoons lurking in the dark waters. Before Luo Zhengdao traveled through time, the so-called Asian little dragons and tigers continued to lie there softly, looking desperate.
According to the old saying, this is the inevitable outcome of a young boy who is impatient and does not practice internal skills. If he practices boxing but does not practice martial arts, he will be in vain until he is old. This is a bit correct.
The mess left by Will Nidham for Luo Zhengdao is full of internal and external troubles. He will find it extremely difficult to deal with it when he deals with it when he sees a move. However, unless he is ready to commit suicide, no matter how hard or tiring the prospects are, Luo Zhengdao will have to hold on. Life itself is so helpless.
There are two things that need to be solved urgently at the moment. One is to strengthen military preparations and beware of the return of Bain or the goblins, and the other is to establish a complete economic cycle on Wick Reef. The latter can apply the statement of a press release, which is to embark on the right path of orderly and sustainable development... Anyway, no matter how you hear this, it seems to be plagiarized from the seven o'clock empty talk.
"Sir Earl, lunch time is up and the carriage is ready. Are you going to return to the official residence?"
Hearing the reminder from his followers, Luo Zhengdao turned around and glanced at the hourglass timer hanging in the corner of the workshop, shook his head and said:
"No, it's time for you to have lunch! I'll have a meal with the craftsmen here."
A qualified politician must be a good actor. Whether it is a passionate public speech or a crying cry, you must not take it seriously. Even if there is a real component in it, it is mostly performance.
Reagan in the old world was able to be the commander of the US Congress, but he was just a second-rate actor in Hollywood. This proves that most politicians have mediocre acting skills and can only be a supporting role in the film and television industry.
In addition to the abnormal key factors such as personal acting skills, eloquence, appearance, etc., politicians need to know how to seize the opportunity and jump out to show themselves in a timely manner. This is naturally a compulsory course.
Of course, making a show does not mean making a fake. According to a certain Japanese devil, the leader ran to the street to shake hands with homeless beggars and other beggars and eating buns and burgers. This means that he is very friendly to the people. This is called a show. He wants to show but is afraid that the beggars are too dirty. He secretly asks someone to pretend to be a beggar to shake hands. This is called a fake. Falsification is of course a shameful act. Politicians are professions that are neutral. There are no politicians in the world who don’t show. The audience in the audience does not have to be really moved and cry, and it is also not worthy of criticism.
It was loudly announced that he would have lunch with the craftsmen. Luo Zhengdao's actions were in the category of show, but when these low-level people heard about it, they were so excited that they could not speak.
Usually, these craftsmen have no chance to eat with a noble who ruled more than 100,000 people. The hierarchical social system of the new world does not support this behavior of breaking boundaries. At this time, in the spacious restaurant, hundreds of pairs of eyes did not look at the dishes, and they all stared at Luo Zhengdao in unison, seeing that he did not move the tableware, and others dared not take the lead, so everyone could only starve together.
Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao ordered his followers to pour a glass of water, and then he stood up with a wooden cup and said:
"You can't drink alcohol during working hours. This is the rule I have set. Everyone must abide by the regulations. I use clear water instead of wine. Thank you for your sweat and hard work for the prosperity and safety of Wick Reef. Thank you everyone, cheers!"
Luo Zhengdao poured over the cup and looked at the touched workers swallowing clear water in big mouthfuls. A warm current surged in his heart. It was a show that he was completely unhappy with these people. It was also a lie to say that he had no slight gratitude to these people. The performance of these craftsmen directly determines how far he can go in the new world, and even how long his life can continue. Having a grateful heart for those who help them is the most basic moral limit of the grass people. Anyone who can connect with the word "gratitude" and "venge" has been sentenced to death by the common people in terms of morality. Those who cannot understand this are destined to die without a place to die.
Fried fish steak, seaweed fresh fish soup, seaweed salad, pickled sour cucumber, smoked sausage, sliced salted pork and cheese, sprinkled with chopped raw onion and herb leaves. The menu's staple food is bread with butter and sour cream, and the drink is of course clean water. If you want to drink some rum, sorry, it violates the workshop's rules and can only look forward to dinner after work.
The restaurant has already considered that the Earl Luo Zhengdao, the Earl suddenly wanted to stay for dinner, racked his brains to arrange to add two dishes, but it is not easy to make up enough to give hundreds of people a portion. If you serve Luo Zhengdao alone, it will lose the meaning of a show. This meal is much richer than the normal working day lunch for workers. However, for time travelers from the country of foodies, it can still be classified as a dark cuisine, and it is limited to looking up at the starry sky. Fortunately, the original intention of Luo Zhengdao was not to fill his stomach. It is enough to move the chopsticks of each dish, and it is enough to make a little sense. The workers were very happy to eat, and the workers did not feel the dishes were monotonous and boring at all.
No farming is unstable, no work is strong, no business is rich. The simple and philosophical catchphrase is the twelve-word mantra that the protagonists of time-traveling history follow, and is also suitable for time travelers in other worlds.
As long as a world has not yet developed to the great material richness and extremely perverted spiritual cultivation... No, it is an extremely noble legendary stage, these twelve words can be useful.
The birth of dark cuisine is a cause. In the Gobi desert terrain, Wick Reef is even a wild grass, which is considered a scarce resource to be protected. The warm sea water surrounding the island is distributed with many colorful coral reefs. This vast ocean is not as stingy as land. In the warm waters near Wick Reef, fish resources are at least above the average level of the starry sea. Therefore, Luo Zhengdao could only devote himself to learning the practice of foot-cup chicken, encourage the development of fisheries, vigorously publicize that eating more fish is good for health, encourage the people of Wick Reef to change their tastes, and reduce the huge pressure on food supply.
