Chapter 344: Running to the Sea of Floating Light
In the New World, the human aristocracy enjoyed a high status and honor in the social system, and this treatment was not without price, it was both an honor and a responsibility. Just want to get benefits, but are unwilling to take responsibility, so it is better to roll as far as the goods that are not responsible, and if you don't have a sense of responsibility, you can't talk about holding authority.
To this day, Luo Zhengdao, who wears a crown on his own, has to break away from his ruling system for a long time and go outside to engage in adventure and treasure hunting activities. If there is no conclusive clue, he wants to persuade his subordinates to agree to leave the territory to find evidence of the overlord, and it is better to dispel such a planless idea as soon as possible, so as not to be sprayed with saliva.
"Oh, ingots are made so quickly? This technician's skills are good! ”
Faul Chopin happily ran to Luo Zhengdao with freshly baked samples, the old problem of the steel mill has given him a headache for a long time, but after seeing a carriage full of steel ingots, and knowing that these are the total output of a day, Luo Zhengdao's face is not very pleasant, and he shook his head and sighed.
"Your Majesty, do you think the yield is too low!"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao did not answer this question directly, and asked rhetorically:
"What is the reason for not being able to mass produce?"
"Mr. Hughes said that the air inlet design of the furnace we built was unreasonable, and the furnace temperature could not meet the technical requirements of metallurgy, so he could only make do with a graphite crucible and a manual blower, and the output of three months could barely build an ironclad ship."
Luo Zhengdao's attitude towards money is very open-minded, and the purpose of holding money is to use its power to serve himself, not to save money like the misers, and count the gold coins to make himself happy when he is fine. Immediately, Luo Zhengdao patted the old retainer's shoulder with a solemn face and said:
"Faure, the technology is flawed, we can continue to improve, don't be afraid to spend money and waste time. Go back and give the first bonus to Xiusi, and tell him that the design of the steelmaking furnace is unreasonable, and ask him to redesign a reasonable set, if the output of steel ingots can be greatly increased, the amount of the bonus can be doubled, and we will not hesitate to reward those who bring benefits. ”
In terms of organizational management and dominance, Faure Chopin was only on average par, but his loyalty was irreplaceable by others. At this time, the old retainer nodded in agreement, and then he spoke:
"Yes, His Majesty. Is that the revocation of the recruitment notice? ”
As for the ability of old Fuer, seeing too much of his mediocrity, Luo Zhengdao has completely given up his unrealistic illusions, and Faure Chopin is only suitable for handling specific affairs under the command of others, and expecting him to make progress in the overall situation is too high.
Too lazy to mention the many mistakes of the old retainer, Luo Zhengdao simply told him bluntly:
"No, you're going to keep recruiting, we're in dire need of all kinds of technical talent, but we're not short of money, you know?"
Hearing this, Faure Chopin, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, played a good style of obedience as usual, and he nodded busily and said:
"Of course, a qiē obeys your will, His Majesty the King."
The country cannot be without a king for a day, this is a specific term established under the centralized monarchy, Luo Zhengdao is also one of the few people who apply what he has learned, precisely because he has seen through the dark nature of politics from the beginning, he is not greedy for power at all, and the state system designed by one hand is also a separation of powers that can ensure effective operation under mutual checks and balances.
Although Luo Zhengdao, as the founder of this system and this country, has an authoritative position beyond the system when he takes the initiative to speak, when the specific operation is separated from the direct influence of Luo Zhengdao, people will also find that there is no substantial change in the way of life. The executive branch is made by the consuls, and the judiciary is made by the large . The joint meeting of judges makes a decision, and even the Senate, which is used as an ornament and a garbage can, can make do with it, at least there is no problem with a temporary bill or something. The army, which is a violent machine, is controlled by logistical supplies, and in the short term, without Luo Zhengdao, the king of His Majesty, the Kingdom of Light, which has relatively limited territory and strength, can still maintain its operation without hindrance.
For a country, the establishment of the founding monarch and the system is a cornerstone, if the foundation is unfortunately crooked, the higher the house is built, the more likely it is to have accidents, and how to remedy it later can not change the basic shortcomings. Therefore, in the old world, there is a warning that can be extended as a proverb, the money that comes from hard work is ten thousand years, and the money that is earned cannot survive the year, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!
To say that the practical significance of creating this country is to establish a place for Luo Zhengdao, a traverser, to avoid being swallowed up by countless enemies when his strength is insufficient. Secondly, he has worn Will Needham, he has to take responsibility after all, Luo Zhengdao has not forgotten his promise to the remnants of his predecessor, it is his obligation to continue the bloodline and reputation for others, don't think that it will be okay to eat and wipe it clean, there is an unpredictable mysterious power in the dark.
Remembering the threat of the curse of the Aragami, Luo Zhengdao, who was already a bag, didn't take worldly authority very seriously at all, and he wouldn't do something against his will in order to consolidate his power. As long as he does what needs to be done well, no one has a position to accuse him, things are as simple as that, and those who can't see through it think too complicated
"陛xià! 陛xià! The expedition returned. ”
Faure Chopin brought the most concerned news, Luo Zhengdao got up and grabbed him, and asked repeatedly:
"Where are they? Why didn't you come to see me? ”
"This ...... I'm afraid they won't be able to come to you now, Your Majesty. ”
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao looked at Old Fuer in surprise, what does it mean that he can't come? After calming down a little, he followed up and asked:
"Faure, what the hell is going on? What happened to the expedition? ”
“…… Only five members of the expedition returned alive, and all of them were seriously injured and receiving first aid treatment. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, whose face was extremely ugly, nodded and said:
"Well, show me the logbook."
Including the navy of the Bright Empire, which has been wiped out, the regular navies of the New World powers have the institutional regulation of the logbook, and the grass platform team such as those pirate groups do not have to think about it. Luo Zhengdao did not forget to copy this excellent system when he reorganized his own naval fleet, and the more he came later, the stronger his desire to learn, and he couldn't hope that Yaling and the elves would take the initiative to provide navigation information! You have to solve things by yourself, then you have to start little by little, you can't do big things, you don't care about small things, this is what some incompetent people talk about. The motto of consolation, doing big things has always been accumulated from small things.
Old Fuer is not shrewd and capable, he always has basic common sense in this regard, and immediately nodded and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have brought the logbook of the expedition. ”
“…… On the 6th of the foggy month, the weather was sunny and northeast wind. We found the demarcated reef ahead, and the captain ordered the second mate Hancock and the boatswain Neil to lead half of the sailors ashore to reconnoiter the situation, and they did not return until the evening, the captain ordered us to guard the ship, and the others to land with weapons to look for the missing. ”
Luo Zhengdao didn't have the heart to be polite, he immediately took the heavy parchment book, opened it on the desktop and read it, and hastily browsed the logbook, he could also guess the situation of the expedition. According to the information currently known, the suspected target is definitely an extremely dangerous place, otherwise it would not have reached the point where the first exploration team was almost wiped out, and the sailors who survived were also scarred. If the external conditions meet the clues, Luo Zhengdao can only personally go to find the whereabouts of the evidence of the hegemon, without a high-end force like him to fight against the unknown threat, relying on the ordinary expedition team alone will not get a satisfactory result even if he fills in the number of victims.
Before preparing to set off, Luo Zhengdao carefully brought the evidence of the overlord of the sea of stars with him, and he had been putting the cup of life on Wake Reef instead of keeping Zài Qiongzhou, mainly for safety reasons. Needless to say, one of the reasons for sending the half-elf beauty to Wake Reef to give birth is also to prevent what to do, just in time to use the cup of life.
It was also thanks to the incredible effectiveness of the Cup of Life, which improved the surgical level of Wake Reef like a cheat, and drank the healing water made by the Cup of Life, and the five sailors who were originally dying were saved. After a face-to-face conversation with them, Luo Zhengdao finally made up his mind to go to the Sea of Light to uncover the mysteries. Considering that the days he left Qiongzhou this time were not short, he still had to go back to Qiongzhou for two laps before leaving, at least he had to show his face in public to remind some guys with ulterior motives that His Majesty the King was living in good spirits at the moment, and he must not be in a hurry to play some clumsy trick of going up the house and drawing ladders.
An organization must follow the natural laws of growing and growing itself like a living organism and renewing itself from generation to generation, and no matter what the purpose and ideal are at the beginning, it will inevitably end up being a filth place to hide filth and dirt.
Organizations often don't have the same interests and ultimate goals, so there are many times more organizations selling dog meat than flies wandering around the garbage. On the contrary, it is an organization as pure as ice and snow, even in places where fundamentalists gather to find a trace, the only way to purify the organization is to completely destroy it, and then start all over again, but unfortunately the organization with this kind of determination and action has always been rare, most of them have the idea of getting by, so that the ideal and the organization rot together with time.
Knowing how to do it is the most effective way, but Luo Zhengdao really can't raise the pride and ambition of fighting the heavens and the earth, the kingdom of light whose territory spans the stars and the sea is a refuge for him to create zào, counting the land area donated by those pirate nobles who are attached to it, the scale of this new country is not too shabby.
The key problem is to establish a noble country that is free from low-level interests, and the traverser asks himself if he has these two moments, and the method he uses is the path of the Chinese ancestors, and the light and dust are muddy with the water. If it is impossible to prevent the infiltration and bribery of external forces, it is better to create some kind of relatively balanced situation as much as possible, forcing either side to take unilateral action. Whether it is the domineering Ya Ling, the elf who sees the wind and steers the rudder, or even the generation of other forces. The people are all stumped by a large net that binds each other.
Needless to say, it is a thousand times more difficult to get these men with different interests and positions to work together on a common goal than to send a million-strong army to conquer the country.
