Chapter 176: Inspection and Showmanship

In this poorly equipped workshop, the tall windmills that stand outside generate lasting power driven by the wind, which is then transmitted to the interior of the workshop through mechanisms such as guò connecting rods and crankshafts, which are transformed into a power source for reciprocating motion.
For those traditional craftsmen who are uncomfortable with using externally driven equipment, they have to learn how to use a vice to clamp the pre-polished end of the thick wire, and then pull the wire through a row of holes in the cast iron plate in front of them, ranging from large to small. Ignoring the limitations of human physical fitness, the vice was constantly dragged backwards with the help of the power provided by the windmill, pulling the iron bar, which was originally the thickness of a human thumb, through a hole that was smaller than the other in proportion. These rods are gradually elongated and elongated, and finally they are made into uniform wires, which are tied in bundles by the workers and loaded into trucks waiting to be transported to the next workshop.
Although the materials used to make ring mail and chain mail are iron wires, there are technical differences, such as the use of continuous iron wires for weaving, or the iron wires are first processed into iron rings, which are socketed together to form a finished pair of armor.
If the ironmaking and wire drawing stage is a hard work, when it comes to the wire braiding process, it is not necessary to have a body, but a careful person who can endure it, considering the consideration of balancing the people's livelihood and economy within Wake Reef, Luo Zhengdao decided to outsource the braiding process early on.
Housewives who had learned how to weave wires and hoops were able to do this in their spare time, and a few clever people could even complete a ring of chain mail in three or four days, and some of the money in Law's hands went into the pockets of the civilians of the Wake Reef settlement.
An economy with sustainable development capacity must have a complete internal circulation system, and in the old world it was joked that a super-rich man would get up early in the morning and eat breakfast on the street, and the money would automatically return to his pocket in the evening, because the main economic lifeline of the whole city was in his hands, and as long as he spent a dollar in the city, then a part of it would definitely flow into his pocket.
Luo Zhengdao also studied economics for a few days, although he changed to Western classical politics halfway, it does not mean that all the knowledge he learned before has been returned to the teacher, he is very aware of the importance of economics to society. What's more, if you are a student studying international trade in a university and don't take an economics course, it's as funny as a famous physicist who doesn't know mathematics, which is the foundation of the foundation!
Paid to his pirates, as well as immigrants who were hired to farm and breed, the money was still a drop in the bucket to support the Wake Reef market, not enough to create a positive cycle.
A mature market economy is necessarily consumption-driven, and an investment-driven and export-oriented economy is unstable.
Before the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the Old World, there was a so-called Asian tiger and Asian tiger, which was really a good time, and when the Asian financial crisis suddenly hit, these flowery and prosperous economies were almost overnight beaten into slag by the big hot money of hedge funds. The largest economy, the world's second foot basin chicken has also embarked on the second lost decade after losing ten years, and it is clear how many decades it will take to lose before it is finished.
The extreme character of the intolerance and stubbornness of the widows and widows of the island countries is particularly prominent, and when the economy is sluggish, they have to rely on the banner of nationalism to incite emotions to divert internal contradictions.
I can't say that such a clumsy political trick, looking through the history books, it is all a trick played by the ancestors, and it can still be tried again and again in the new century, which has to put a huge question mark on the IQ of the human group.
Even if they can't get first-hand black materials, they can make up for it after analyzing all kinds of news, so they know more about the inside details and process of the financial turmoil than the general public. Benefiting from the environment he was in at the time, Luo Zhengdao also understood how the knife of capital operation was a bloody weapon, so he was doubly afraid of those financial predators lurking in the dark waters. Before Luo Zhengdao crossed, the so-called Asian dragons and tigers continued to lie there softly, looking like they were going to die.
According to the old saying, this is the inevitable end of the hairy boy's impetuousness and impatience and not practicing internal strength.
Will Needham left a mess for Luo Zhengdao, internal and external troubles emerge one after another, and he will feel extremely difficult to deal with when he sees the moves, but unless he is ready to commit suicide, no matter how hard the prospect is, Luo Zhengdao will have to hold on, and life itself is so helpless.
There are two things that need to be addressed urgently, one is to strengthen the armament to guard against the resurgence of Bane or the goblins, and the other is to establish a complete economic cycle on Wake Reef, which can be paraphrased in the press release, that is, to embark on the right path of orderly and sustainable development...... Anyway, no matter how you hear this, it looks like it was copied from the seven o'clock empty talk book.
"Lord Earl, it's lunchtime, the carriage is ready, do you want to return to the residence?"
Hearing the reminder from his entourage, Luo Zhengdao turned around and glanced at the hourglass timer hanging in the corner of the workshop, shook his head and said:
"No, you should take a lunch break to eat! I dine here with the artisans. ”
A qualified politician must be a good actor, whether it is an impassioned public speech or a crying confession, you must not take it seriously when you watch it, even if there is a real element in it, it is mostly performative.
In the old world, Reagan was able to be elected as the commander of the United States, but he was only a second-rate actor in Hollywood, which proves that most politicians have mediocre acting skills, and they can only run a trick when they go to the mixed film and television industry.
In addition to personal acting skills, eloquence, appearance and other factors are extremely critical, politicians need to know how to grasp the opportunity and jump out to show themselves in a timely manner, which is naturally a compulsory course.
Of course, putting on a show is not the same as cheating, according to a certain two devils, the leader went to the street to shake hands with a homeless beggar or something, eat a bun hamburger or something, this is to show that he is very close to the people, this is called a show, he wants to show off and is afraid that the beggar is too dirty, and secretly finds someone to pretend to be a beggar to shake hands, which is called fake. Of course, cheating is a shameful act, and politicians put on a show is a neutral professional characteristic, and there are no politicians in the world who don't put on a show, and the audience doesn't have to be seriously moved to tears, and it's also not worth criticizing.
Among them, he loudly announced that he was going to have lunch with the craftsmen, Luo Zhengdao's actions belonged to the category of showmanship, but these low-level people were immediately so excited that they couldn't speak when they heard about it.
Normally, these artisans would not have had the opportunity to dine with an aristocrat who ruled over a population of more than 100,000 people, and the hierarchical social system of the New World did not support such boundary-breaking behavior. 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 this meant that he did not move the tableware, others did not dare to do it first, and everyone could only be hungry together.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao instructed his entourage to pour a glass of water, and then he got up with a wooden cup and said:
"It's a rule that you can't drink during working hours, and everyone has to follow it. I use clean water instead of wine, thank you for your sweat and hard work for the prosperity and safety of Wake Reef, thank you, cheers! ”
Luo Zhengdao poured the cup, watching the moved workers swallow the water in a big gulp, a warm current surged in his heart, the show is a show, and it would be nonsense to say that he has no gratitude to these people at all. The performance of this group of craftsmen directly determines how far he can go in the new world, and even how long his life can last. Having a heart of gratitude to those who help them is the most basic moral limit for grass people. Anyone who can associate the word revenge with Ensho has already been morally sentenced to death by the common people, and those who cannot understand this are doomed to die without a place to bury.
Deep-fried fish cutlets, seaweed fish soup, seaweed salad, pickled cucumbers, smoked sausages, salted pork and sliced cheese, topped with chopped raw onions and herb leaves, bread with butter and sour cream are the main dishes on the menu, and the drink is of course water. If you want to drink some rum, sorry, it's against the rules of the workshop, and you can only look forward to dinner after work.
The restaurant has already taken into account that Luo Zhengdao, the earl, suddenly decided to stay for dinner, and racked his brains to arrange two additional dishes, but it is not easy to make up enough for hundreds of people to eat a meal, and if Luo Zhengdao serves food alone, it will lose the meaning of showmanship. This meal is much richer than the workers' normal weekday lunches, but for those who come from the great foodie country, it can still be classified as dark cuisine, and it is only as good as looking up at the stars. Fortunately, Luo Zhengdao's original intention was not to fill his stomach, and every dish moved with chopsticks, which was enough for a little meaning, and the workers ate very happily, and the laborers did not feel that the dishes were monotonous and boring at all.
No agriculture is unstable, no work is not strong, no business is not rich. The plain and philosophical mantra is a twelve-character mantra that the protagonists of the time-traveling history text adhere to, and it is also suitable for the cross-world.
As long as a world has not yet developed great material abundance, spiritual cultivation is extremely perverted...... No, it's the legendary stage of extreme nobility, and these twelve words will come in handy.
Dark cuisine was born for a reason, the Gobi desert terrain of Wake Reef is a scarce resource to protect even a single weed, and the warm waters surrounding the island are dotted with colorful coral reefs. This vast ocean is not as stingy as the Six Lands, and in the warm waters near Wake Reef, fish stocks are above average, if not abundant, in the Sea of Stars. As a result, Luo Zhengdao could only devote himself to learning the practice of foot pot chicken, encouraging the development of fisheries, vigorously promoting the health benefits of eating more fish, and encouraging the people of Wake Reef to change their tastes and reduce the huge pressure on food supply.
In the final analysis, the monotonous diet structure is still insufficient food production, no matter how good the glass greenhouse system is, the water source is also limited, not to mention having to compete with the mulberry field silkworm room. In the desert Gobi outside the settlements, there is arable land, and the irrigation water source cannot be increased indefinitely, in short, a little bit can be saved.
