vs 225 Funeral and reflection
The name of the dead crossing is Chen Youguang, 37 years old this year, and he is one of several chief workers in the shipyard.
Chen Youguang is in charge of the most important project of the shipyard at the moment: the construction of a 400-ton sail gunboat. And because of the importance of the project, Chen Youguang, who originally stayed in the brick and concrete building at night, was a little worried about the dock situation, so he went out and stood in the aisle to look in the direction of the dock.
Then the tragedy turned out: a small tree next to the building was suddenly blown off by a strong wind, and the branch was thrown right on his head, causing his death on the spot......
After the storm passed the next day, a large number of people rushed to the hospital on Dayuan Island to mourn the first brother who gave his life for the great cause of crossing.
And when Cao Chuan returned two days later, he was also surprised when he heard the bad news. You know, the work of protecting themselves from the crossing has always been in place: the more dangerous work is done by apprentices, workers, or slaves; Even the army that is considered to be the most risky has so far been injured and killed.
In addition, the in-house hospital located on Oyuan Island is not vegetarian. The seemingly small hospital is well-equipped, and the freezers are stocked with high-end drugs that are not on the health insurance list, such as Gleevec (not made in India).
Let's put it this way, if Cao Chuan had the ability to get a thoracic surgeon to come today, then the hospital would be able to open heart bypass surgery tomorrow - the equipment is ready-made.
However, Chen Youguang died on the spot...... What kind of hospital is useless.
......
After three days of parking in the hospital's cold storage, the deceased was ready for burial.
As for the discussion of the accident, there were surprisingly no quarrels, insults and blame-throwing on the forum this time. YOU KNOW, ON WEEKDAYS, WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A BIG FART, SOMEONE WILL DISS A WAVE OF THE PRINCESS.
This accident will leave a shadow in everyone's hearts for a long time.
The cemetery was created temporarily, just behind the Imperial City, which was almost completed. According to Cao Chuan's meaning, since Dayuan Island is the starting point of everyone's struggle, then everyone will be buried here in the future.
On the day of the funeral, people came together. The total number has increased to 210 people, and all but those who were out of town participated in the memorial service.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, a heavy Nanmu coffin began to be buried in the first tomb of the Imperial City Cemetery. At the same time, all the subordinates who crossed the crowd, including the slaves, were silent in place for three minutes.
Regarding Lao Chen's posthumous affairs, in addition to naming the 400-ton sailboat that was about to be outfitted as "Youguang", the big office actually couldn't come up with more compensation methods - because Lao Chen had no descendants.
Chen Youguang had a girlfriend before his death. However, this indigenous girl who was bought from Hangzhou, has only been with Chen Youguang for two months, and is not pregnant, it is naturally impossible for her to inherit Lao Chen's political legacy in the big office.
In fact, including all the items that Lao Chen brought from the afterlife, the girl had no right to ask.
The last solution of the big office can only be to send a sum of money to the girl, then arrange her to do some light work in the agency, and finally give her a free single-family hut in Chihkan New District.
These cottages are usually allocated to immigrants with intact families, and the number of such cottages is relatively small, and the immigrants need to use their future salary to pay off the mortgage...... Ahem, the interest is not too high, and there is also a property tax.
That's all...... The girl needs to move out of the upscale neighborhood where everyone lives.
Not only did it have a strong stimulus for others, but it had far-reaching consequences.
You know, if the girl is now pregnant, then there is no doubt that she will enjoy all the daily treatments that the Crossing Crowd can enjoy. In addition, when the child grows up after 18 years, he/she will definitely inherit Lao Chen's seat in the House of Nobles as soon as possible, and have a share of the basic wealth that the descendants of the "first round" of the people should have.
None of that exists anymore.
......
Due to the selection conditions, most of these travelers who came to the new plane were celibates. And with more than one year of continuous feelings, discussions and run-ins through the public, everyone has actually reached a consensus on most of the ideological issues.
This includes the right to inheritance: the future House of Nobles will not leave a place for adopted sons.
The first generation of the Travelers is an extremely special generation, and it cannot be replicated because it is a small group with an absolute monopoly. This monopoly is not only external, but also internal.
In other words, the internal relationship of mutual monopoly has created the inseparable attribute of the first generation of traversals: no one can do without the other.
For example, if someone is going to leave the group and invent some soap mirrors to earn their own money. Then he will face the price of an anti-inflammatory drug of 100 million in the future. No money? It's better to die if you don't have money - doctors don't have the time to fool the ancients, but doctors' skills and drugs are also monopolized.
The same applies to the military: if a person who works alone needs the protection of the army, then 100 million bullets per bullet.
Detached from this group that provides mutual protection, the omnipotent traverser will suddenly find that he will not survive more than three days in this wild era.
So, the heir is the key.
This generation is inseparable, whether it is wealth or political status, this is a special form of "big pot rice" that cannot be replicated.
...... To a certain extent, the traversal beings are not normal people, and everything they are doing now is within the scope of abnormality.
Therefore, in order to distribute the dividends of the future country, we can only use a normal national system to take over by the "normal" heirs produced by everyone on this plane. At that time, all the unique political structures and secrets that belong to the traversal will gradually disappear into the years, leaving no trace.
Therefore, after all, there is still a need for an heir group.
Chen Youguang is a painful lesson......
As a result, after this funeral, there is an inconvenient change within the traversal that many people have accelerated the pace of daily "human creation" because of this. Some workaholics who call factories home have also silently increased the frequency of going home.
There's no way, just look at Lao Chen's ending, you can feel at ease if you have an heir as soon as possible. Besides, most of the traversers are now between 20 and 35 years old, and it is the time when it is convenient to create people in the prime of life, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer!
......
At the same time as Chen Youguang's funeral was held, some funerals were also being handled.
The disaster not only caused the death of a traveler, but also caused huge losses to the entire Tainan society in this violent wind and rain that lasted for a day and a night. The results of the post-mortem count were that more than 80 people had died in various accidents, the number of injured people had doubled, and a large number of houses and equipment had been damaged by storms and flash floods.
The first step in disaster relief efforts is to deal with the dead. Under the existing conditions, if the corpses are not disposed of in time, an epidemic will soon develop.
Although there is a gas cold storage at the Chihkan Wharf to preserve the catch, there is no morgue in the Chihkan Yard. All the dead here will soon be cremated and buried, without the need for a morgue – a rule that has always been enforced.
Naturally, the workers who died were not buried on Dayuan Island: there is a special cemetery in the hilly area upstream of Xingang Creek that houses the urns. If it was a slave who died, the body would be discarded to the open sea, and there would be no urn.
As for the opposing voices? Not at first. The early immigrants of Dayuan were all beggars from Hangzhou, and even in the Ming Dynasty, these people could not escape the incarnation field after their deaths, so no one said anything.
However, as time went on, more and more displaced people from all over the country gathered from "various elements", and some gossip came out...... The place is so big, why not let people be buried in the ground?
So all those who spoke, those who obeyed, those who agreed, were transferred to the lumberyard, and all gossip disappeared overnight.
The ultimate goal of running through the crowd to this plane is to use these 200 or so people to assimilate all the natives, not to be assimilated by the natives.
The so-called "sense of identity", there is a key priority and secondary question here, who agrees with whom? If the traversal people, who have mastered the technology of the Zenith and the lessons of history, accommodate the natives for the sake of the so-called sense of identity, it will be a big joke in the world.
The traversal does not need the legitimacy of the so-called bullshit rule, nor does it need the approval of the landlord class and the poor - all the rules have to be re-customized here, and the power of fertilizer and fire cap guns is in control, and what was needed in the Middle Ages was the approval of others, the formatting of the world, not the other way around.
As for those who do not cooperate? The Manchu practice was to kill from the north to the south. There are more cities slaughtered, and the braid hairstyle is naturally left, you see, the natives still know how to agree, and those who don't understand are dead.
Although the practice of crossing the crowd was not as barbaric as that of the Manchus, it was essentially the same. In this wild world, more than 200 people want to pass on their thoughts, and it is impossible not to be heavy-handed.
So the people of Tainan are currently under the rule of the traverser, and it can be said that the social atmosphere is quite harmonious: petty theft? Go logging. Fights and brawls? Go logging. Don't want to be cremated yourself? Go logging.
In short, all the bad customs of the immigrants, including cremation, including firecrackers, including those who want to restore the power of the clan, are all scum in the face of logging.
This is the secret of social stability and unforgotten road through the rule of the people: to go to logging.
Of course, the practice of crossing the crowd is actually the same as Comrade Zhu Baba's use of the heads of civil and military officials: the first generation of people who fought the country with their own hands can naturally do whatever they want.
And the descendants cannot. Emperor Jianwen can't cut whichever one he wants...... In a word, it is useless for the country.
Then change to Zhu Di and dare. The so-called Polun is not difficult to take, but Xiang Yu can take it, which is probably the case.
As for the traversal, they have no doubt that when everyone has their pigtails in the future, the society managed by future generations will definitely evolve to the point of "I want to see my personal lawyer". But the society at that time had nothing to do with them...... When I die, the flood will be terrible.
