Chapter 294: Positive Energy

For Lin Bei, this regulation is like a Pandora's box, once opened, the Wanghai people will embark on a bloody plundering road, so when it comes to whether to add slaves or not, Lin Bei is a little undecided, but An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji and others disagree.

"My lord, what is there to make up your mind about? It is much better to come to Wanghai City as a slave than to be a tenant farmer in the Central Plains. An Zhongzhi gave Lin Bei a very strange statement, An Zhongzhi thought that Nulu was much more comfortable than tenant farmers, at least in Wanghai City.

Tenant farmers are not unique products of China, any country in the social structure of feudal landlords have, slave owners exploit tenant farmers and obtain benefits, in China, tenant farmers are all servants belonging to Haoqiang, they are into Haoqiang's family registration, they are private property, they are born in Haoqiang's family, death is the ghost of Haoqiang's family, if the tenant farmers want to be free, they need very cumbersome procedures, and they must be Haoqiang has the heart to let the tenant farmers go, otherwise they can't get out of the house, even if the master kills the tenant farmers, they will not be held responsible in this era, because the government will not care.

Therefore, if the term slave is replaced by a tenant, I am afraid that even Zheng Xuan, Sima Zheng, these great Confucians, can only be resigned, because this is the characteristic of the times, which family has no tenants in the family?

So after An Zhongzhi's words, Lin Bei listed slaves as a kind of goods.

In this era, population is also a resource, and after Lin Bei admits that slaves are also a kind of goods, it will make the maritime merchants of Wanghai City extremely aggressive, and the place where the Great Dragon King ship passes, will definitely be full of blood, but this is the fastest way to plunder foreign resources.

However, Lin Bei is still very cautious about the use of slaves, and slaves can only be owned by Wanghai City. Private individuals are not allowed to own slaves, so the term slave owner will not appear, and after the maritime merchants capture the slaves, Wanghai City will buy them.

In addition to these goods, the concept of exchanging routes for Wanghai City rewards was proposed for the first time in the regulations, the so-called route for rewards. It is to encourage maritime merchants to open up sea lanes, when the time comes, Wanghai City will make a map of the sea area, as long as the maritime merchants come back and find the waterway that is not on the map, you can receive the corresponding reward, the size of the reward is based on how many resources around the waterway, and these resources refer to those things stipulated in the regulations, such as exotic specialties, how many populations, how many mines and so on. In addition, such as the size of the forest, the size of the plain, and the number of animals can also be regarded as resources, as long as such a place is found, it will be rewarded.

On the second day after the regulations were promulgated, Guo Da rushed to the City Lord's Mansion and handed over a list of two hundred merchants who had joined forces to lease the Great Power Dragon King ship. They can't wait to go to sea, this regulation is promulgated. If these merchants encounter small-scale natives, they may become pirates, and only when they encounter large-scale natives will they become merchants, which undoubtedly allows them to quickly embark on the road to prosperity.

Lin Bei immediately asked the workshop to build two Great Dragon King ships without steam engines, and then he didn't sleep all night, the next day. Let An Zhongzhi issue another regulation.

In this regulation, Lin Bei perfected the code of conduct for maritime merchants, that is, all maritime merchants in Wanghai City must not attack each other, and at the same time must help each other, which is mandatory. Once these two points are violated, the family assets will be confiscated and the household registration will be deprived.

"My lord, isn't it too strict?" Bian Ji asked cautiously.

Lin Bei shook his head, "It's not strict at all, it's a pity that there is no black box now, otherwise I would have to install one on every Great Dragon King ship." ”

The reason why Lin Bei made such a seemingly ridiculous regulation was only because he vaguely saw the Huaxia of the later generations, so he didn't allow this kind of thing to be staged in Wanghai City.

At the time of Lin Bei's crossing, the moral concept of the Chinese people was already the supremacy of money, the traditional morality had been gradually lost, and people were becoming more and more indifferent to each other, which was really sad.

At that time, many news would leave a special section, called the positive energy section, which was used to promote good people and good deeds in society, what good things were promoted? Lin Bei has seen two very special positive energy events anyway, one is that the husband has taken care of his disabled wife for more than ten years, and the other is the police who bravely captured two knife-wielding gangsters. Isn't it right for a husband to take care of his wife? Even if his wife is disabled, isn't it the duty of the police to catch gangsters? I am afraid that it will be so promoted, I am afraid that it is only because such seemingly taken for granted has become rare.

The wife is disabled, and the husband's first reaction is to get rid of this burden, and when the police see the knife-wielding gangster, the first thing they think is that I have to flash first, so as not to be stabbed, so those two seemingly natural things will become positive energy events, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Lin Bei didn't want Wanghai people to repeat this sadness because of their rapid wealth, he hoped that in the future, Wanghai City would be a common thing like these two positive energy events, his wife was sick and disabled, and her husband's first reaction was how I could take better care of her, instead of pulling away, when I saw the gangsters on the street, countless people would rush up and subdue the gangsters as soon as possible, instead of being afraid of being stabbed and bleeding.

Sailing in the sea, because there is no one around, so the dark side of people will sometimes be infinitely magnified, usually do not dare to kill, maybe a red eye can kill people with a knife, anyway, no one in the sea can see, usually dare not do dirty things in a place where no one may be done, Lin Bei is not a god, he can't shine like the sun on everyone, so he can only pass strict regulations, so these people have some scruples, and at the same time let these people help each other and love each other at sea, So that people do not become indifferent to each other because of certain interests.

The regulations were issued, and the workshop began to manufacture the civilian Dawei Dragon King ship, and at this time, Wanghai City began to divide the land among the common people.

This work began to be prepared last year, and then has been slowly perfected, almost all the people of Wanghai have no doubts, An Zhongzhi took the officials in the city and the heads of each family out of the city every day, measured the fields, and recorded them one by one, this work will last for about a month, and then Wanghai will divide the fields into households, and these ordinary people will freely decide what to plant. If you want to be a businessman and don't want to farm the land, you can lease the land to other farmers after the land is divided, and how to lease it is up to them to negotiate, and Wanghai City will not interfere. As long as the taxes can be paid by then, it will be fine.

Lin Beilai's era has changed many things, and now the land is decided by the common people themselves, which can be regarded as a breakthrough of the times, which can make the common people more motivated, and farming can also grow a good future.

When the land is divided, if the common people feel that the fields are not enough, they can reclaim the farmland, which needs to be reported to the city, and if the farmland reclaimed by the common people themselves grows grain, the tax is also one-tenth. If it is used for other purposes, the tax system is different, such as building a house, which does not need to be taxed, and if you open a store, then you need to be taxed.

Road construction is still ongoing, Wanjiang West Road and Wanjiang East Road are about to be completed, and Vientiane City is also being planned. When the two roads are opened, they will build a city there. And the city along the river is almost perfect, and now Lin Bei is preparing to build two more cities between Vientiane City and Riverside City, because Vientiane City and Riverside City are too far away.

Linjiang City is more than 200 miles away from the mouth of the Mekong River, the coastal city is more than 400 miles away from Linjiang City, and the Vientiane City to be built is as far as 2,000 miles. Therefore, it is necessary to repair the city in the middle, and in addition, the forest terrain between Vientiane City and the city along the river is a plain terrain, and there are large areas of fertile soil that can be cultivated, as well as mines and other resources. These Lin Bei will never let go.

"Vientiane City, plus the construction of two cities, and the surrounding cement roads, these things alone will take several months to complete, alas." Lin Bei sighed.

Although this speed is already fast, Lin Bei still feels that it is not enough, but there is no way to do it if it is not enough, there is no supply point without a city, there is no war without a supply point, and it is impossible to conquer the natives in the forest.

"In addition, the city has been repaired, the roads have been repaired, and the dam has to be repaired again, and the project will be even more vast." Lin Bei thought of the next dam plan, and he had an even more headache.

Lin Bei remembered that when the Three Gorges Dam was built on the Yangtze River in the past, it took more than ten years just to plan, and then it took more than ten years to build it, adding up to nearly 30 years, Lin Bei obviously couldn't wait so long, Lin Bei's plan was that if it couldn't be repaired this year, it would have to be repaired next year, and to shorten the time, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to fill it up.

"Cement and steel are the main building materials, and countless are needed, and there are not enough indigenous slaves, and there are not enough ships to transport them, so it's difficult."

Huang Yueying made a model of a dam some time ago, although now she is studying the battery, but now the craftsmen have started experiments in some small rivers according to the model of the dam, Lin Bei has naturally seen the dam model, speaking of which this model is actually very simple, there are two outlets, one is used for the usual discharge of water, the other is used for flood discharge when the flood rises, and the other is a lift, mainly used for boats to go back and forth between the dams, and the rest are made of cement and steel bars, as long as they can withstand the impact of the water flow in the dam, The dam is actually very easy to build, as for the impact on the surrounding area of the dam, what can Lin Bei think about now? Thank goodness the dam was built.

Because of the impression of the Three Gorges Project, Lin Bei's requirements for the dam are to drop again and again, as long as there can be two functions, flood discharge and passage of ships, for what the dam looks like, how long the dam is, Lin Bei has no restrictions, that is to say, even if Huang Yueying finally builds the dam to be 1,000 miles long and 1,000 miles wide, as long as it can have these two functions, and the cement is enough, Lin Bei can accept it

The situation in Wanghai City was normal, the scope of his rule continued to expand steadily, and now that there was no war, Lin Bei moved his eyes to the Central Plains and Jiaozhi.

After Lin Bei sent the second letter to the barbarian handsome, the direction of the barbarian city finally replied, agreeing with Lin Bei's approach of half for half, after all, most of the yellow turbans and common people that Lin Bei captured from Anding County this time are young and strong, and the barbarian is now attacking Jingzhou, and he doesn't want to give up these populations, and he can exchange some old and weak women and children for young and strong, and the barbarian is naturally willing, even if these are originally his people from the barbarian city.

The way of exchange is a thousand people at a time, and it takes almost ten times to exchange people in Anding County, and it takes almost ten times to change them all, and the yellow scarves and common people who were captured began to settle down and no longer make trouble, An Zhongzhi promised that those who stayed would have land and houses, and the original Wanghai people were treated the same, so that some people who wanted to return to the barbarian city were a little reluctant.

Although they are captives, but during this period of time, Wanghai City has really not treated them badly, although they are nominally detained, but they can hardly prohibit their actions, and they are full of food, some time ago, many dragon god soldiers also brainwashed these people, saying how good Wanghai City is, how wise and martial arts Lord Longshen is, although the barbarian city is not bad, but there are still classes there after all, there are also many powerful families in the barbarian city, if the people of the barbarian city do not come to Wanghai, maybe they will get used to it, but now in Wanghai City, However, he found that Wanghai City was indeed better than Mancheng, so he would naturally tend to Wanghai City.

The thoughts of these people were quickly noticed by the sergeants, and then reported to Lin Bei to know, so Lin Bei came up with an idea.

Lin Bei asked the sergeants to intentionally or unintentionally reveal that the Dragon God Army had outposts around the Barbarian City, and if these people wanted to leave after returning to the Barbarian City, as long as they took their families out of the city, the Dragon God Army would bring these people back to Wanghai City, and treat them the same as all Wanghai people.

Lin Bei didn't know how much of a role this idea could play, but if he could make the hearts of the people in the barbarian city float a little, Lin Bei would also feel that it was worth it, of course, if the nine thousand people who were finally led back by the Yellow Turban could go to Wanghai City again with their families, then Lin Bei would definitely be even more happy, because this showed that Wanghai City was really good, and Lin Bei, the leader, was very successful. (To be continued......)
