Chapter 632: The Matter of Trust
"Industry unions? What is that?"
Faced with the doubts of the refugees at sea, Rita said: "Before I explain this concept, I first want to reach some consensus with everyone. ”
"Consensus?"
"First, in the dragon country, we races from the sea are outsiders, aliens, and only when we are united can we take care of each other, so we must trust each other unconditionally. ”
"Yes, it's nature. ”
"Second, since we want to unite, if we adopt a military alliance or a way of camping, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Dragon Kingdom, and even lead to war. ”
"That's right, this sea area originally belonged to the Dragon Kingdom, and if we rehabilitate the soldiers with great fanfare, it will definitely have a bad impact. ”
"Thirdly, the biggest challenge for us is food. As far as I know, there are many tribes that do not stock up on much food during the long journey. When they arrived, they had to prioritize food for the young, leaving the elderly and children starving. ”
Rita nodded: "So, we need to build a trading post for trading goods now, firstly, it will not cause too much disgust in the Dragon Kingdom, and secondly, we can trade urgently needed materials." ”
She continued, "In other words, trading with the Dragon Kingdom and building Waiheke Island and the surrounding seas into a special trade area will not only allow us to exchange the abundant products in the ocean for the supplies we need, but also allow us to build a nest and live in this place in the name of the word." ”
Gray Hu somewhat understood: "So, that trade union is actually a big tribe under the banner of trade. ”
Rita smiled and said, "That's right. ”
After careful consideration, the other representatives of the refugees from the sea felt that this trade union was indeed the best choice at the moment.
Rita cleared her throat: "Next, I want to talk about the internal structure and operation of this union. ”
"First of all, trade unions need a leader......"
"It's like the leader of a big tribe. ”
Rita nodded first, then shook her head: "There are some differences. ”
"A large clan is formed by the annexation of many small tribes by a powerful tribe, and the leader of the large tribe has absolute power. The union leader is only responsible for the internal management of the union and external liaison, but has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of individual small clans. ”
Rita thought as she said, "I'll give you an example, in a large clan, if someone disobeys the orders of the chief, the chief can directly execute that person without the consent of the head of the small clan. But in trade unions, the union leaders cannot do that, and the punishment can only be carried out by the patriarch of the small clan himself. ”
Greyhoof: "I see. ”
Rita continued: "In the large clans, all the wealth and harvest is owned by the chief, while in the trade unions, the wealth is pooled and owned by all the tribes, and the harvest is distributed proportionally according to everyone's input and contribution. ”
Greyhoof: "That sounds fair. ”
Rita: "This form of cooperation has never been seen before in our original maritime life, and the relationship between tribes is either fighting or annexing, and I understand that it may take a while for you to get used to, but it's the best option for us to survive right now." ”
Greyhoor straightened up, nodded and said, "I have no opinion, Kinlaska will join this joint union." ”
"We'll participate too!"
"So do we!"
Rita: "Since everyone agrees, there's one last thing – who's going to be the leader of the union?"
Grey Bird spoke, "The Salamo mermaids paid a high price in order to make the Dragon Kingdom accept us, and they came here relatively early and are more familiar with everything. So, I propose to make the patriarch of Salamo the leader of the Union Union. ”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Listening to these approvals, Rita laughed, and she slapped her fishtail and saluted the crowd.
The royal city of the twilight, the king's audience room.
"Kalibav Theatre Contest Invitation...... Hmm, this invitation is from last month!"
Todd looked at the letter in his hand with a black line on his face, and asked Evie, "Why did I only see it today? and I found it in the crack of the table?"
Evie, who was lying on the sofa, stretched lazily: "I don't know, there may be some less important letters, so I just put them away." ”
Todd looked helplessly at the tall former Valkyrie: "What is an important letter to you?"
"Let me think about it, combat reports, enemy intelligence, ordnance rearmament, army movements, ......"
Todd said with a headache: "To put it simply, you only care about the battlefield. ”
Evie retorted, "It's not just the battlefield, it's the bedroom, I'm also concerned. But if you think about it, it seems that the things you do in the bedroom can be done in the time you have on the battlefield. ”
Todd said in a deep voice: "The king's things are not only to fight wars and have children, but also people's livelihood, science and technology, business, culture, and diplomacy...... It is the duty of the king. Originally, I always thought that the cabinet was dealing with those things, but now I understand that I have not received the report at all. ”
Evie sat up, her face full of confusion: "Except for the war, how do I know which other things are important and which are secondary?
Todd sighed, not going to blame Evie.
The other party used to be a Valkyrie, and she was a good hand at fighting, but it was simply difficult for a strong man to deal with government affairs.
It's time to find yourself a more reliable secretary.
Thinking of this, Todd had Huggins in mind.
However, in the last conversation, Huggins's knowledge of the Black Plague made Todd find it a little strange.
Todd wanted to find out who Huggins had obtained information about the Black Plague from through the soul space, but he eventually dismissed the idea.
Maybe it's better to ask in person.
Thinking of this, Todd asked Evie, "Where is Huggins now?"
"I've been looking for someone to keep an eye on him for a few days at a hotel in the south of the city, and nothing seems wrong with him. Evie said to Todd, "You think he's hiding something from you?"
Todd tapped his fingers on the table, "It's time for him to come back." ”
"Thank goodness, I finally don't have to deal with these reports!" Evie paused for a moment and added, "But, can he trust?"
"I trust him. Todd shook his head: "But what makes people helpless is that the idea of trust should not appear in the king." I can't afford the risk behind it, let alone the cost it can take. ”
