In the face of Smith's dissuasion, he said very seriously: "Smith, I know your concerns, but our people must get the tickets as soon as possible, because they must open up the sea market faster than the other four cities in order to give full play to the advantages of our civilization, which is determined by the characteristics of civilization, you know, not only our civilization can build ships, if the sea market is preempted by other cities, our civilization that eats marine resources will be very passive, do you understand, Smith?" ”

Smith was silent.....

Song Zaiyi sighed, he recognized this foreigner very much, the other party was a talented man who was harmed by a capital consortium, and he acted steadily and not aggressively, which was the reason why he took a fancy to him.

In the future, after making a world out of his own, this guy is the best person to keep it....

"But these life skills are all service ....." Smith hesitated for a moment and then began to analyze another drawback: "In order to protect the finances in the later period, the interest we offer is not low, even higher than the general base, for a life skill that can make money, how many citizens are willing to choose a loan?" After all, most people now have the ideal of being a private lord, and they don't come with the mentality of a part-time worker. ”

"But before many capitalists become capital, he is a part-time worker...."Song Zaiyi smiled: "Everyone wants to climb to the sky in one step, but in the end it is unrealistic, I have always felt that among the four routes in the New Territories, the Gondolin route is the most practical route, master a life skill, earn the first original capital in life there, and then go out to start a business that is the real doer, those who take the southern grassland route are speculators, and emerging cities like ours can't learn from some people to encourage speculation.....

Smith: "......."

"There is at least a way back to learn a skill, this place has great opportunities, but it does not mean that everyone can succeed, on the contrary, there are always more people who fail than those who succeed, and there are only a few players who can become lords, so what about those who can't become lords? Isn't it alive? Song Zaiyi sighed and said: "Learning a craft is also to give them a guarantee, at least after the competition fails, there is still the possibility of a comeback, Smith, don't forget our purpose, I am here to make the people who follow us live better, so we should suppress that kind of speculative thinking, rather than learning from a certain guy to let this speculative concept spread, and use the pie to trick the people!" ”

Song obviously showed a look of disgust on his face when he said something about a certain guy, and Smith was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized who the other party was referring to.

Nowadays, in the five major cities, the one who encourages the dream of the masses to be the lord is Mister, who has always emphasized the freedom of the residents, but he is a little puzzled, why does Song care about saying that Mister is tricking the people?

-------------------------------

On the surface, the operation mode of the fifth city is very similar to that of the third city, both of which are multi-faceted, not only vigorously developing mining, but also developing a large number of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the workshops of the service industry are also being established, the only difference is that it does not force citizens to learn a life skill as Song cares.....

Of course, in terms of the early capital payment, the fifth city did not work as hard as Song Yiyi, all of them were to the point, and there were naturally places for training life skills such as blacksmithing, tailoring, enchantment cooking, etc., and there were also mentors, but the quota was very small.

In the face of 200,000 citizens, the current quota of the fifth city is far from enough, and this kind of multi-faceted development without spending money makes Mister's secretary Ryan a little puzzled.

At this time, I was also asking in the castle lord's room.

"My lord, the early development cycle of our arcane civilization is slow, and the demand for energy is also large, why don't we follow Angel's example and develop specifically? Agriculture and animal husbandry are not what we are good at, so why spend resources? Life skills training is also too little if you want to improve people's competitiveness? ”

Mister smiled when he heard this: "The multi-faceted investment is to let the people have more choices, so that we look less authoritarian, our slogan is the Free Federation, if it is as autocratic as Angel and Song care, isn't it a signboard?" ”

Ryan: "......"

Mister continued: "As for the life skills training you mentioned, the current investment is the most reasonable, if the investment is too much, like Song cares, we will have to bear a lot of loans, and in the end, in order to ensure that the city's finances can return to the capital in the future, do we have to pass on the interest above to the people?" When the people look at such a high-interest loan, will they scold us for being black-hearted? Do you think Song cares about being scolded now? Let's take a look at our loan for life skills training, is it much more humane in comparison? ”

"It's not enough!" Ryan frowned and said: "We didn't borrow from above, the cost is not high, and the loan interest rate can naturally be set more reasonable, but today's scale is not to mention 200,000 residents, and the study space of 20,000 residents cannot be guaranteed!" ”

"Need a guarantee?" Mister asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Ryan was stunned: "What do you mean, adult?" ”

"Literally....." Mister's smile grew brighter, "Do you really think that the people who come here will be willing to come honestly and follow the rules?" The other day we hyped up the opportunities in the southern steppes, why do you think that? ”

Ryan's face sank: "Speaking of this question, I have long wanted to ask, why do adults encourage this kind of speculative atmosphere?" You should know that the route of the southern steppe is the most unreliable one-hop route..."

"But it's also the easiest route to get to the sky in one step!" Mister interrupted the other party and said, "Do you know why there are so many shareholders?" Because everyone thinks that they are different, and others will definitely earn if they lose them! ”

Ryan: "......."

Mister: "This can be seen from the data, now our city has the lowest interest rate on life skills training loans, but the application rate is also the lowest, the number of applicants has not exceeded 1,000 people today, it turns out that there are not many people who are willing to work, and the scale of our setting is completely sufficient.....

"But that's because your lord is over-promoting the southern grasslands, right?" Ryan frowned.

"No.... Propaganda is only one aspect..... "Mister waved his finger and said: "The important thing is what they are willing to believe, Song cares about propaganda, honestly taking out a loan, learning a life skill, and being solid is the king, and being scolded half to death, I promote the dream of the southern grassland, and now everyone cheers, do you know why?" Because from the bottom of their hearts, they want to hear my statement more, even if my statement is actually wrong, but the masses are more willing to believe it! ”

"What's in it for our city?" Ryan's face was gloomy!

"The benefits are great!" Mister laughed, "What is the most important wealth of the city?" Is it these resources and technologies? No, it's the population, these populations that can create the future are the most important things in the city, and how to bind these populations is an art, I ask you, if 100,000 people rush into the southern grasslands by then, how many people can become lords, do you think? ”

Ryan lowered his head and was silent for a while, hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously: "According to the current data of Huaxia City, there are about a thousand people." ”

"You really overestimate them...."Mister sneered: "Before, the southern grasslands were blank, and there were only less than five hundred lords in 50,000 Central China players, and now the market there has been occupied so much, and now they are only entering, and most of the qualifications are not as good as those in Central China, do you actually think the probability can reach one percent?" Just kidding, it's nice to have a hundred! ”

"Then why do you want to advertise it like this?" Ryan frowned.

"Didn't you just say that? In order to bind the population! Mister smiled and said: "I will prepare a loan for every child of destiny who is ready to go to the southern grasslands, and the loan interest rate will not be too high, if it succeeds, then it should be a good relationship with the future private lord player, I have supported him in the early stage, I think they will also pay taxes honestly according to the rules, the point is naturally those who fail, the failure of the person has nothing, and he owes a loan, so what should I do?" I can give them a second loan to learn a life skill to earn a living, of course.... Since you have a history of non-payment and your credit rating has been lowered, the interest rate for applying for a second loan is definitely different....."

Ryan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly understood what the other party meant.....

And this second loan opportunity is the opportunity to bind their future lives, understand? My little Ryan! Mister winked at the secretary.

Ryan couldn't help but shudder, this fat man who looks harmless to humans and animals and has humorous words is a real evil capital that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!
