Chapter 460: The Journey of the Local Tyrant
In the waters of Octopus Island, the waves are calm, the weather is clear, and the sky is clear.
Although to the outside world, the weather here is unusually bad, and thunderstorms are often generated, making Octopus Island the most frequent place in the world to have thunderstorms.
However, for those who live on Octopus Island, the sky above their heads is still mostly sunny in the month, and although there will be thunderstorms and windy weather, the island will also give early warning, which will not affect the work and life of those new immigrants.
It was around 3 p.m., and there was a crowd of people at the harbor dock on Octopus Island.
Although a large number of merchant ships arrive at the dock every day to trade goods, it is very busy and lively, but today is different, because the number of guards at the dock has doubled, and even the king's bodyguard, as well as some important officials on the island, are waiting there.
Some of the newcomers wondered what would happen at the docks, where so many heavyweight officials and palace guards would be waiting.
So after these people asked their friends and neighbors for news, they learned that there was a super luxurious delegation composed of big people from all over the world, accompanied by their princess, who was about to come to Octopus Island for an inspection visit.
When the newcomers heard the news, they seemed to be very encouraged, so they spontaneously came to the dock and put up a welcome formation.
Especially some of the new immigrants, they are most looking forward to meeting their Royal Highness the princess, who is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, and they are very yearning and curious to see the real face.
And just then, when the newcomers who had just moved to the island gathered around the pier to watch the excitement. Suddenly, there was a cacophony of sounds.
The people at the front did not know what was going on, and were about to ask, but then they heard someone behind them shouting: "Your Majesty is here, please keep order, and do not be rude, especially after the arrival of those foreign guests......
I heard that the king had come. The newcomers immediately maintained their formation and did not dare to make a loud noise.
After watching His Majesty's car drive to the port and get off the car, all the newcomers saluted the king with their palms folded and bowed slightly in the manner of the island's manners, following the manners of several officials.
The old king got out of the car, saluted the newcomers, and then entered the waiting room of the dock, surrounded by the guards.
So, the newcomers who watched the excitement began to talk in a whisper.
"His Majesty the Old King seems to be kind and kind, and he does not appear to be superior, and I did not expect him to salute us as well......"
"yes. The old king was very open-minded, and it is said that many of the island's humane systems and some welfare policies close to the people were ordered by the old king......"
"What is this, the old king also personally participated in the revision of the law, and recently my children began to take classes on the basics of morality and law, and when they came home, they actually knew how to honor their elders, and they knew how to be polite, and said that the atmosphere in the school was very good. After the other naughty children were affected, the whole person also changed a lot......"
"You have only come into contact with the study of the basic law. These are just scratching the surface, and to tell you, after we have studied the Vinaya deeply, we have found many different things in it.
He not only combined some of the advanced provisions of modern society, but also followed some provisions of the clear law, especially for the phenomenon of official corruption. It can be said that the provisions of the law are very strict and cruel, and after you have lived on the island for a while, you have found that the officials on this island have loose work discipline and bureaucratic style. ”
"Yes, you said so. I think it's really different, the officials on this island are very efficient, and there is no bureaucratic style, very close to the people, the suggestions and problems raised by the people can also be seriously adopted and quickly solved and implemented, especially in the material trade, those officials never seem to accept bribes, and they are also selfless, compared to the outside, the officials here are probably the most honest in the world, but it is said that their treatment is also very high......"
"Hehe, have you been focusing on these things in your public law classes lately, haven't you noticed that there are special provisions on marriage in the Ming Law, hehehe, this is a man's welfare......
Hearing the middle-aged man's somewhat lewd laughter, it immediately attracted other people nearby, so these people came over and said: "This old man, we haven't been studying the Ming Law training on the island for a long time, but you can tell me what are the legal provisions that are welfare for men, let's go home and review them again......"
The middle-aged man then whispered: "I don't know if these provisions have been discovered by the old king, or if the old king is too busy to notice this, and I don't know if this is a loophole in the Ming Law, after all, it is a Ming Law, and it has been revised many times, but it still uses a lot of basic provisions of the ancient law......"
"Hey, I said big brother, don't whet our appetite, let's talk about what the terms are......"
The middle-aged man saw the urging of the people around him, so he said: "Hehe, you go back and look through the supplementary clauses on the marriage law in the Ming Law, which mentions that a man can marry two wives......
"What, a man can marry two wives, and this good thing ......"
"Yes, why didn't I find out, recently Alain and I are worrying about how to let her in the door, after all, it is not right, she married into our family and doesn't want to be small, this matter has troubled me and Abba for many days......"
"No, I have to go back and go through the Ming Law again, you guys talk......"
"Yes, I'm also going back to study Ming Law, I heard that next month our neighborhood committee will have a general exam for law and moral knowledge......
However, there are also women who have different opinions on this matter, and that is the women who heard the men whispering in the neighborhood.
When they heard that there was such a loophole in the law that men could exploit, the women immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and started talking.
"Hey, if there is really a clause in the Ming Law that a man can marry two wives, what should I do, doesn't this just give those men an excuse and opportunity to marry a second room openly......
"yes. It's very unfair to us women......"
"Yes, we have to report this problem to the old king, otherwise it will not be good for those flowery men to take advantage of the loopholes in the law......"
"Agreed, I suggest that I report this matter to the old king immediately, and once more and more people know, how should we women live in the future......"
But. There are also very calm women who suddenly said: "Don't be in a hurry to oppose fiercely, I advise you to go home and read the provisions of the marriage law by yourself, and you will understand that there is a price for a man who wants to marry two wives, and the content on it is obviously biased towards women, and there are more articles to protect women......
"yes, then I'll have to go back and have a good look, you guys talk......"
"Hmm. I'm going to go home and look at it right away, and I'm going to have to be prepared in advance, so that I don't have any bad thoughts in our family......"
“……”
In this way, after a while, the people who were idle on their rest days near the pier got together to talk about Minglu and some of the contents of marriage in Minglu, both men and women, attached great importance to it. So they hurried home to continue their studies.
However, no one found out. The middle-aged man and middle-aged woman who spread the relevant news among this group of people secretly glanced at each other, left the crowd here, and went to the places where other crowds were more gathered.
……
At the same time, inside the passage of the Golden Corridor.
Above the surface of the sea that has entered the waters of Octopus Island, several supercruise ships are following the guidance of the lighthouse. Heading towards a land island in front of them.
But at this moment, on the decks of those cruise ships, all the super-rich and aristocratic people are standing on the deck, admiring the scenery of this mysterious sea that the whole world is talking about with some amazement.
The men were amazed to find that this was on the perimeter of this safe corridor. The lighthouses that guided the cruise ship were foggy all around, but the corridor was clear and open, and the sight could be seen far away.
Moreover, on the outside of the lighthouse, there are some kind of unknown creatures swimming there in the sea from time to time, and those creatures are very large, but they do not seem to actively attack passing ships, which makes the people on board feel thrilling and interesting to watch.
The little Swedish princess, in particular, was the most lively and bold, and when she saw a tumbling wave rushing towards her, she exclaimed in fright: "Oh God, what kind of monster is that, will it attack us, look, he shows his blue tail, oh, SHIT, why did he leave again, what kind of sea creature is this, I haven't had time to appreciate it yet......"
However, except for this little Swedish princess, who is more out of the ordinary, the others are still relatively stable, although those sea creatures do make them feel a little uneasy at first sight.
But casually looking at them, they found that the creatures didn't seem to approach the lighthouses, let alone intrude into the corridors, and even when they did, they quickly left after a huge wave, as if they weren't aggressive.
Although Yun Xiangrong is the princess of Liuqiu canonized by the old king of this island, it is the first time she has come to the island, so she is also very curious about everything here.
However, in order to maintain her demeanor, she didn't look around too much, but her smart and moist eyes kept blinking, revealing curiosity, and quickly took in everything around her.
Among them, the children of the ancient family found that those creatures were large creatures that could not be seen in other oceans on the earth, but they thought of something from them, so Navis, the second son of Lao Lai, came to Yu Xiaohu's side and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yu, these marine creatures have never been seen before, are some of the ingredients in your company's genetic medicine extracted from some of these rare marine creatures?" ”
Hearing Navis ask curiously, the other people nearby also pricked up their ears and looked at Yu Xiaohu curiously.
Yu Xiaohu smiled and said: "Now the whole world is suspecting that some of the biological components of the genetic medicine developed by the Shenhu Group are related to the creatures here, and I am not afraid to tell you that their guess is right, in addition to some special marine creatures here, there are also some strange wild animals and plants, which do have biological components in their bodies that can change the genes of human lifespan, and when we once came into contact with the natives on this island, we found that some of them lived to be more than one hundred and sixty years old. On such a primitive and backward island, it generally has a longer life span than outside humans, which must be inextricably related to the animal and plant environment here, so we spent a great deal of money to get the consent of the old king, and collected some material specimens here for research......"
After saying this, Yu Xiaohu didn't say any more.
But many people in front of them were hung up and itched, but they knew very well that if the main ingredients of that kind of genetic medicine came from the animals and plants here, it would bring a crazy change to the whole world, and the whole human race would go crazy about it.
If they can participate in the production and sales of genetic drugs, everyone is a businessman and will settle accounts, and they will not dare to imagine how terrible the profits are contained.
Venus was itching, but before he could speak, the little Swedish princess's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and said, "Dear tiger, please tell me, what cost did you get the old king's consent to collect specimens here for research, and then you reached a cooperation with each other?" ”
The others also looked at Yu Xiaohu with hot expressions.
Yu Xiaohu did not disappoint everyone, so he said: "At first, the price we spent was to buy only about 460 grams of biological specimens from the old king with five tons of gold, but among the 460 grams of biological specimens, only 23 milligrams of effective ingredients that have a promoting effect on human genes were extracted.
In addition to paying a lot of technologies and facilities that are beneficial to the construction and development of Octopus Island, we also need to use a large amount of food or various equivalent materials in exchange for biological raw materials containing only 1 milligram of ingredients......
Suck!
After hearing Yu Xiaohu's exaggerated words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Everyone is a businessman, so they will naturally settle accounts, and if you calculate through the data that Yu Xiaohu said, 23 milligrams of that kind of genetic biological composition is worth five tons of gold, so when converted, it will be a sky-high price. (To be continued.) )
