CHAPTER XLIV
Putting the washed celery on the board and picking up the kitchen knife, Ge Yiwei frowned slightly. No matter how many times he www.biquge.info used, he still couldn't get used to this kitchen knife, and he always felt that the rectangular kitchen knife at home was better.
And what made him even more unhappy was the voice coming from behind him:
"Purple-sama, is that celery? Orange doesn't eat celery......
"Yes, yes, celery has a weird taste that I don't like. β
"Miss Yakumo," you don't have to endure it anymore if you can't bear it. Ge Yiwei slashed the kitchen knife onto the board with a "dang" sound, and turned around with his left eyebrow trembling, "It doesn't matter if you come to eat, because most of the shrine's finances are provided by you, and I just need to give you the share that was originally given to the American agent." It doesn't matter if you bring your pet to eat, I'll make more if it's a big deal. However, you brought a group to visit me for cooking!"
"Orange and I are not purple-sama's pets, we are Shikigami!
"Ah, what's the difference? Please describe it in scientific and accurate terms, I have a low IQ and can't understand words that are too obscure. β
"I ...... We're here to fight, and pets are just for feeding to please their owners!"
"This phrase of yours insults all military dogs all over the world and their owners. It's been a long time since we let animals participate in battles, so don't war horses need to be counted as pets?" Ge Yiwei sighed, "You didn't refute my statement at all...... Pets are defined as animals and plants that are kept for non-economic purposes, as long as you refute that you two are not raised? β
"What are you talking about, why do you feel so dizzy......
"This guy is not suitable for research, and the logic is too poor. Seeing Yakumo Blue, who was dizzy on the spot, Ge Yiwei shook his head and said to Yakumo Zi who was standing behind her. The other party put on an indifferent expression: "Of course Lan doesn't have to do any research." The agent you just mentioned, is that like this?"
Finding that the onlookers had no intention of repenting at all, Ge Yiwei patted his forehead, turned around and pulled out the kitchen knife, and continued to cut celery: "The boss drove him to live in the world." The shrine doesn't have much money in the first place, and it can't afford to have to endure the occasional meal like you guys. β
"Oh, then why don't you leave and let Mr. Jonas stay? You seem to have said you were a good man, right?"
"Even if I want to leave, will you let me go?" After cutting the celery and putting it all on the plate with a kitchen knife, Ge Yiwei replied, "Although there has been a large-scale People's Liberation Army, I am the only one like me who takes the initiative to welcome in like the Great Barrier and will not let me go, right? It's ironic, isn't it, you should be one of the founders of the Great Barrier, why can't you even figure out what it is?"
"Utilizing and figuring it out are two different things, aren't they? like the weapon you use," Yakumo Murasaki pointed to Type 03 that was set aside, "You'll use it, but have you fully figured out how it works and can make it?"
"I'm sorry, but I know exactly how Type 03 works, and it's possible to build a production line as long as there is an industrial system in place - although the initial quality of the guns may be much lower. β
"Ah, it seems that there is something wrong with the example I gave. β
But the conclusion is correct. Pouring a plate of celery into the pot, Ge Yiwei picked up the spatula and began to stir-fry, "Why do you and Miss Xixingji like to abuse modal words so much?
"It's not good to ask a girl's secret. β
ββ¦β¦β
I wanted to say what I said to Sanae again, but Ge Yiwei subconsciously shut his mouth, and the experience he got out of nowhere told him that this was definitely an act of looking for death. He hurriedly changed the subject: "Miss Yakumo, there is actually one thing I haven't understood, like how you and those wise monsters got money?"
"This one...... Some youkai don't need money at all, because they don't have to go to the human world to spend money. Tengu collects money by supplying electricity to the human world from the wind turbines of Mt. Yokai, and kappa is doing business......"
"Blah blah, this financial system is just so weird. In other words, the monsters earn money by providing services to humans? But the humans in the human world can only survive 30,000, and the monsters in the monster mountain should be at least 100,000 together, right? Are you trying to squeeze out all the surplus value of human beings?"
"However, the right to mint coins is in the hands of humans, and no other monsters or goblins can mint coins. Yakumo replied, "The only machine capable of minting coins is in human hands, and the technology of Youkai Mountain is not at all capable of imitating it." β
"I used to think that the relationship between humans and the people here should be between the captive and the captive, and it seems that it is not that simple. In this way, the Eternal Pavilion earns income by buying medicine and renting out bamboo forests, and the Red Devil Pavilion rents out parts of the Lake of Fog for humans to develop fisheries?"
"yes, that's a good guess. But Xiaowei, you ignore a fact," Yakumo Zi took out a book from the gap, flipped through two pages, and put it back again, "Most of the money that the monsters do with money is spiritual entertainment consumption, and the Engel coefficient is quite low. They could have fed themselves. β
"Well, Engel's coefficient...... I said that the book I just saw was so familiar, it was a university economics textbook, right? But since it is a paper book, it must be at least 50 years old. I can't believe you still look at this kind of thing...... Stop, I suddenly thought of how you got your money, is it the same as Marisa's stealing?"
"Stealing money can't be called stealing...... Stealing money! Monster thing, can you say stealing?"
ββ¦β¦ Comrade Kong Yiji's death was really unjust. If he can have your ability, as for 'how much, not much'?" opened the door and walked into the room, Ge Yiwei put the fried celery on the dining table, untied the apron around his waist, "Boss, don't read the novel, eat!"
"Oh, Reimu, isn't in good spirits, I have dark circles under my eyes. Seeing Reimu on the other side, Yakumo Zi pretended to be surprised and said, "This is the girl's great enemy." β
"I thought everyone was just like you, and when you got up and you could sleep for five days, you didn't care about anything...... I've been having nightmares for the past few days......" Reimu replied in a trance tone with a pair of panda eyes.
"As I said, it's a good thing, just get through this for a while. When I went to Youkai Mountain in the morning, Miss Dongdongya was also facing the same problem. That one...... Yakumo Blue, Yakumo Orange, You're still in the kitchen, are you, bring five pairs of chopsticks!"
"Oh-"
"Don't call me by my name, human!"
"And what do I call you...... Call Miss Yakumo and you'll be mixed up with your master. While sighing, Ge Yiwei sat down, "By the way, Miss Yakumo, have you come up with any good ways to do what I told you yesterday?"
"Of course I can't think of it...... I have to say, your summary is very accurate, a group of monsters who have no heart and are too lazy to be tempted to escape from reality, this is Gensokyo......" Yakumo Zi's face showed a wry smile, "Plus there is no concept of life and death at all, it is simply impossible to unite them." β
"Ah, it seems that this matter should be taken slowly. Now we can only hope that the Great Barrier can give us this time. There is another thing about Miss Saigyoji. Ge Yiwei cleared his throat, "Can you tell me what kind of person she is...... Ah, ghosts?"
"Why didn't you ask her about it directly?"
"I haven't brought the chopsticks yet, because I'm going to get no answers." I felt that she was dangerous, at least, much more dangerous than Miss Yakumo. β
That's an interesting conclusion. Often, people think the other way around. But the truth should be, Xiaowei, you're not good at dealing with her natural personality, right?"
"Wait a minute, you guys. Xiaowei, I have something to say. Reimu seemed to regain some of her spirits, "Tomorrow, I'm going to go to the hot springs of Youkai Mountain, so you don't have to go out of the shrine and take care of your home." β
"Why do you want to go to the hot springs at this time? You two, why do you take so long to hold chopsticks?"
"It's hard to find a place where you put it!"
"Because these two days are always nightmares and need to relax. The festival will be held in a while, and I need to resume it quickly...... Also, I would like to discuss with Sanae that this time the two shrines will hold a festival together. β
"If I'm not mistaken, the main participants in the festival at Moriya Shrine are the youkai of Yokai Mountain, and the Hakurei Shrine is a human in the human world, right?
"This, once or twice once in a while, won't have too serious consequences...... Besides, that's what you suggested!"
"Ah, I see, I'll be at the shrine tomorrow. Let's eat first. Glancing at Yakumo Zi, who didn't know why he was snickering, Ge Yiwei nodded and took the chopsticks handed over by Yakumo Blue.
βββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββββββββ
"My daughter, why do you always look sullen?"
"Don't call me by that scale. I'm just nostalgic for my jungle. "At this time, it was late at night in Rio de Janeiro, and there was a bright light outside the window. Sittler crossed his shoulders and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Besides, I still don't understand your attitude towards the moonmen. I've been reading some literature about aliens lately, and most humans shouldn't have a hostile attitude toward alien species, and why can you still use each other?"
"Hateness? No, no, it's just because the work you're looking at is too one-sided. Hitler smiled and shook his head, "Did Dr. Allen choose you? I guess he wants to influence my decision through you. β
"Yes, it was indeed given to me by Alan. But I don't think he would have such a dirty purpose, he's a good guy. Only someone like you would think everyone else is so bad, right?"
"Alan is a good guy...... Hehe, let's put this aside for now. Hitler shook his head, "Are you questioning my attitude towards the moonmen? When a new force suddenly emerges, it is wisest to be vigilant with good intentions. After enough contact, if they are weak, they will be exploited, exploited, and oppressed, if they are as strong as we are, they will engage in normal diplomacy, and if they are stronger than us, they will be attached to them. It is most irresponsible to strike at all costs against a force that suddenly emerges. β
"Sometimes I have to admit that you are indeed much smarter than me when it comes to so-called politics. β
"We have very similar genes, and you can be like me if you want. β
"To become as obscene, dirty, and shameless as you? I'd rather die. Let's get back to the point: even so, what you're saying is the wisest thing to do. But not all leaders make wise choices, so why do you swear that most of any government would?"
"A leader can't decide everything, all he can do is point out a direction for everyone, and it's the so-called majority who decides everything. Smart leaders must learn to control public opinion, to make people think they are free, and then to lead them to the conclusions they want. Such a leader would never make that kind of stupid decision. This is also an important advantage of non-feudal monarchies: it guarantees that no matter how unsuccessful the elected leader is, he will never be a fool. β
As he spoke, Hitler himself walked to the floor-to-ceiling window: "Human beings are made up of most stupid people and a small group of smart people, and it is only natural for smart people to be leaders." As for the fools who think they are smart people who make irresponsible decisions, sooner or later they will bring about their own destruction. β
"It's really hard to imagine hearing these words out of your mouth. According to you, the Germanic peoples in your mouth are also part of the human race, and there must be smart people and stupid people in them, right? Why can you be convinced that the Germanic peoples are inherently used to govern other peoples? Isn't this the same way to put those fools in the position of leaders?"
As if asked a crucial point, Hitler was silent for a long time. In the end, he replied, "My daughter, you still don't understand what I'm saying." I do not need to believe that Germanic peoples are inherently meant to govern other peoples. I'm a leader, and I just need to convince most of the people to believe that. β
"What......"
"Don't be surprised, my daughter, the long life span has changed me a lot. Hitler looked at Sitler with a surprised expression on his face and sighed softly, "You may be a little strange, why do I still insist on my position when I am well aware of these facts? Then I will tell you right now that human beings are irrational creatures." I loved my nation and once vowed to make it the pinnacle of this world. Until now, this feeling and desire have not changed. So, even though I know these things clearly, I still have to work hard to achieve this goal. You've been laughing at me for being a politician before, but in reality, I'm a politician. Whether or not they have a firm goal of changing the majority of the people is the only difference between a politician and a politician. β
ββ¦β¦ I was a little tired, so I went to sleep first. β
"Good night, my daughter. Watching Sitler walk into his room, Hitler's voice exuded a hint of tenderness.
