"Beautiful lady, noble knight, our store has the most complete set of magical equipment in Kitland City, welcome to come and buy!"

Two young girls dressed in fancy clothes stood in front of the shopping mall attached to the Grand Arena to solicit customers, with sweet voices and friendly smiles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Behind them, conspicuous signs were posted on the windows of the shops.

- Swear solemnly in the name of our Lord!

――Our store is honest and honest, and there is no deception!

-- The goods sold are fake and pay ten!

- Praise Kord!

Lyudmila stopped and looked at the door of the store with a surprised face: "When did the store of the Kord Temple become such a magnificent appearance, and the two welcome girls at the door were not the salesmen who ignored me before?" It's only been a few days since I saw you, how did you become so enthusiastic? This shop ...... Nothing wrong with it, right? ”

Roland smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with this store at all, the reason why it has changed a lot is the new atmosphere brought about by the restructuring of the enterprise." ”

"What is restructuring?" The female ranger asked curiously.

"It's a bit complicated, I'll give you an analogy, once upon a time there was a peaceful and prosperous city-state, and there was a public green space on the outskirts of the city, where herds of wild deer lived, and anyone could go there to hunt, but within a few years the city administrators found that the deer herd had plummeted, and if it was not stopped, the deer herd would be completely extinct in less than two years, and then there would be no playground for weekend outings and hunting in the city, so the lord invited the nobles, wealthy merchants, trade elites and citizen representatives of the city to hold a council, The law emphasizes that the green space outside the city is collectively owned by the citizens of the city-state, and that people have the obligation to maintain the ecological balance of the public green space out of conscience and public morality, and also stipulates that the green space where the deer inhabit is fenced off to prevent people from trespassing, and the hunting grounds are only open to the public on specific holidays, and hunting is prohibited on other days, and violators are fined heavily. ”

"Initially, everyone supported the law, but it didn't take long for people to hunt illegally behind their backs, and they benefited even more, because most people are now afraid of the law and don't dare to hunt, which makes those who dare to break the law have fewer competitors and more prey."

"How can this be! Look at what the forest people are doing, what the judge is doing, don't they care? The female ranger asked angrily.

Roland shrugged, "It can't be said that it doesn't matter at all, it's just that there is a lack of motivation to strictly enforce the law, you think about it, see that the foresters are employees of the city-state government, right?" He is in charge of guarding the green space, but he is not the owner of the green space, whether he stops people from poaching or not, the salary he should receive or that, it will not be more or less, so why should he offend the hunters and risk cold arrows to stop them from hunting deer? What's more, every time the hunter poachs, he will secretly greet him, give him some benefits, beg him to open his eyes and close his eyes, and see that the foresters get extra money, and the poachers get the prey, and everyone benefits, isn't it great? ”

"What a ghost! What about those poor wild deer? They're going to go extinct! Lyudmila couldn't help but raise her voice.

Roland shrugged, "Deer can't speak, let alone go to court to complain, since they are public resources and belong to every citizen in the city, then no one really cares about their life or death, anyway, the extinction of the deer herd is not a person's loss, it is better to follow those poachers, poach a few more times before the deer herd is extinct, and the meat in your own bowl is the real benefit, just like that, the law is useless, the number of deer is drastically reduced, and it is on the verge of crisis again." ”

"What should I do? What can be done to avoid the extinction of deer herds? The female ranger's heart was touched by the fate of the deer, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

"Later, someone put forward a suggestion, since the legislation could not solve the crisis of the deer herd, simply auction the public green space where the deer herd inhabited to the private sector, and the city hall would charge a certain amount of rent every year, as for how the private person managed it, the city-state government did not care, the lord accepted this suggestion, auctioned the green space publicly, and finally was taken by a big businessman in the city, and continued to hire the original forest watchmen to guard the deer."

"Is this different from the original policy?" Lyudmila asked in confusion.

"The difference is in the change of property rights, the green space is no longer public property, but the private property of the big businessman, and any hunter needs his consent to enter the green space, otherwise he has the right to arrest him and bring him before the court. Of course, the merchant did not contract the green space simply to protect the endangered deer herd, he hired foresters to raise the young deer, protect them for growth and reproduction, expand the size of the herd, and announced that the public was welcome to come and hunt, but for a fee to pay for the expenses of raising the deer and managing the green space, as well as the profit of his own hunting grounds. ”

"Does this work? Is poaching stopped? ”

Roland smiled, "At first, of course, some people didn't believe in evil and still went to poach, but this time their opponent was neither a dull government public sector, nor a greedy and cheap forester, but a rich and powerful big businessman with a group of bodyguards to serve, is a powerful capital iron fist, being caught by the forest ranger is a beating, and then they have to be escorted to the court, if they don't want to go to prison, they have to pay a fine, the risk is far greater than the benefit, who dares to risk their lives to poach?" ”

Lyudmila thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong: "Look at the forest people will not obediently listen to the orders of their employers, poachers can bribe them." ”

"That's true, but please note that when the public green space is sold to private individuals, the identity of the foresters also changes, they are no longer government civil servants who guarantee income during drought and flood, but employees of big businessmen, who work hard and conscientiously, and the boss will give them bonuses, if they are lazy and take bribes, they will be fired once they are discovered, not only will they lose a well-paid job, but they may also get into a lawsuit, and they will pay compensation for the boss's losses, which is much more expensive than the little bribe given to them by the poachers. What do you think a sane forester would choose? ”

Lyudmila was speechless.

Roland turned his head to look at the renovated shop opposite, and continued: "The same principle applies to the commercial department of the temple, in the past, the shop was an ancillary business of the temple, and the property rights belonged to the temple, and the temple was a public institution that served all believers, they didn't care about making profits, they cared about persuading others to join the church, the shops under the temple did not undertake the task of making profits, and the salespeople were all priests and apprentices in the temple system, and people couldn't get a copper plate bonus if they sold you more equipment, Why do you smile and greet you? Now that the business sector is separated from the temple system and operates independently to cover its own profits and losses, employees earn based on performance, and if business is prosperous, they can get higher bonuses, and if the business is bleak, not only will their income shrink, but they may also be fired and leave, do you think they can find a way to please customers? What's wrong with a little more smile? What's wrong with wearing a cool and sexy look? Why not please customers without spending money. ”

Lyudmila patted her head vigorously: "You seem to have a point, but I still feel that something is wrong...... I can't say why, but I just hate this kind of change, and the money-driven, selfish, not moral, policies that make people's lives better, are ...... Is it really good? ”

Roland sighed, turned sideways and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said softly: "Is this good, don't ask me, you think for yourself, I hope you will always remain skeptical and think independently until you find an answer that satisfies you." (To be continued.) )
