Durin lowered his head slightly, his chin tucked inward, and looked up at these people, and his serious countenance caused an aura to rush out of him, like a tsunami, so that even the Gualts in the church could not suffocate themselves.

But then a trace of disbelief appeared on the faces of some people, and their eyes also became scrutinized, why did Duhrin think they were pathetic? Is it a sad thing to be satisfied with their own life? This reason is unjustifiable, if Duhrin can't find a reason to convince them, they will never come back next time, no matter what they give!

It's a matter of dignity and more important than food and small favors.

When most people's eyes began to change, Du Lin raised his head and raised his chin slightly, "I have been to many places, and in the outside world, every Gualte has his own ideals and pursuits. They may want to be respected, to be financially rewarded, or to have a happy family and everyone to live happily ever after. ”

"Everyone has ideals, and I have them, but many of you don't have ideals, and these things seem to me to be very sad!"

"Mr. Dewell, are you married?", Dewell nodded yes, and Doulin continued, "That's good, then the second question, do you have children?", Dewell nodded again, and said that he had three children, Doylin laughed, "You are married and have three children, but you are happy with your life, am I not wrong?", Dewell reaffirmed Doulin's words.

"Don't you want your wife to wear nice clothes, you don't want her to wear more jewelry, you don't want to give her a romantic surprise, you don't want to give her a satisfying place to live? What about your children? Do you want them to have the same pursuit of life and life as you do, and to live by filling their bellies in this city? Don't you want them to leave here, get a better education, and then get a better job outside, and finally become the middle class or even the rich in this society? ”

"Look, you don't have ideals, and it's because you don't have ideals that your wife and your children have to live in this city like rotten wood like you without pursuit, and then slowly become corrupt. I'm sorry I said something very harsh, but I just want to ask, when you, and many more, go to bed when you're full, eat when you wake up, day after day, year after year, and when your life comes to an end, do you feel that you are no different from those inferior animals?"

Durin beckoned to Dover, then took out a small roll of cash in a small denomination of five dollars from Dover's pocket. In this city, the denomination of five yuan is actually not too small, and you can't even buy anything, because it is like a country in backwardness, and there are not many consumer goods except for the necessities of life.

In front of everyone, Durin spread out the roll of money and tore it into pieces, then waved his hand up, and the shards of the paper money fell around him like snowflakes. He looked at Dewell, "This money, five hundred yuan, may be your income for two or three years, but it was ruined by me just now, and this is because you have no ideals." Please sit down, Mr. Dewell, and perhaps this is what you are satisfied with. ”

Durin looked at the others, some thoughtful, others looked enraged, Durin shrugged his shoulders, "The first thing I felt when I came here was that it was lifeless, and this is not what you should be. The indomitability of the Guartes is not reflected in you at all, in fact, until today, I have been thinking about what I should do to at least make my compatriots better. ”

"But seeing you like this, I don't think I need to do it at all, because you are very satisfied, and changing your life will only make you lose that satisfaction, so I need to apologize to everyone, this church will not be opened again in a short time, and when one day I feel a spirit called struggle, an attitude of pursuing ideals, I will open this church again, goodbye, gentlemen!"

Durin turned and left without a moment's pause.

He must admit that this time he failed, and the failure was very complete, the problem of assimilation here is too serious, and it is impossible to pull up a team quickly with interests and ideals, so he can only leave a seed, and as for whether it can grow into a towering tree, he can only wait and see what happens.

Once the construction of Otis City begins, a lot of work will require a lot of labor to complete, and at the same time, the special status of Otis is enough to attract the attention of other forces, and other forces will also find that there is no unified force here for the time being, and it is still a vacuum, and they will definitely send their own people to enter here as soon as possible. Once the people in Durin's hands can't suppress these people, I'm afraid that these people will pay attention to the anti-guest.

This is not impossible, even His Majesty the Emperor and the entire cabinet dare not guarantee that he has absolute control over everyone in every inch of this empire, let alone his little mayor? If he can't do it, it means that he will lose the initiative and control here, and it will also affect his subsequent plans.

This may even include some members of the New Party, so much so that Mr. Harry would covet the huge profits and influence here.

He originally considered using locals, who had lived here for a long time and knew the inhabitants well, and outsiders could not hide from their eyes. Distinguishing between locals and outsiders can play a very important role in stabilizing the rules and order here. Secondly, the families of the locals are here, and they will be more at ease with it. But the reality of the situation tells Durin that he may not be able to eat it all. After returning to the town hall in some annoyance, Durin called Carter and asked him to arrange for some people to come over and get ready for the rest of the work.

At the same time, the first phase of the plan is about to begin.

Durin in the old town of Otis City has no plans to move for the time being, and the arrangement of the 400,000 population in the old city is enough for him to have a headache, so it is better to build a new city first, and then move the people here step by step as appropriate. For the first time, as the mayor of a city, looking at and planning the development of a city from a macro perspective is far more difficult to choose than he is to watch from the sidelines.

Every decision must be well thought out, and one wrong step can cost you not only money and time, but also your reputation and people's trust in you.

It's not an easy job!

Durin bent a little decadently, looked out the window at the afterglow of the sun like a flame, and sighed. He tugged at the rope, and it wasn't long before Natalie reappeared in his office.

"Have you done what I told you yesterday?" he was referring to the establishment of a telegraph office, which the cabinet initially intended to set up a completely new department to manage the telephone business, but later because some people interjected that the telegraph service would be completely replaced by the telephone service in the future, so there was no need to establish a new department, and it was enough to let the telegraph office take on the same role. When the time came, the telegraph service was abolished and the name could be changed, so all the telephone services of the entire empire were incorporated into the telegraph office.

Natalie smiled a little awkwardly, and after she saw Doolin's brows furrowed, she quickly explained: "Mr. Mayor, now we don't have the conditions to set up a telegraph office here, you know that connecting the telephone requires not only a switchboard, but also a special line and a large number of staff, but there ......is nothing here."

When Natalie returned to the office, she looked through the materials and found something about the telegraph office from a newspaper last year, which was a preview of the telephone business, and briefly introduced some general contents of the business. She felt that the 20,000 yuan was completely insufficient, and there were no relevant personnel in the local area, so she planned to go to Namilinders on the weekend to ask, but she didn't expect that what Du Lin said yesterday would ask about the results today.

"You won't have to go to work tomorrow!", Natalie was stunned for a moment when Durin said this, and an angry expression suddenly appeared on her face, but the work was not done well, and it was not that it was not done, and who could build a telegraph office in half a day.

Ignoring the dignity of her superiors and subordinates, she threw herself down in front of the table near Durin, and asked through gritted teeth, "Is it just because I didn't do a good job?"

Du Lin was also stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, listen to what I say, tomorrow morning you will go to the nanometer side, figure everything out and tell me how much money you need, I will only be responsible for paying for it, and I don't care about anything else!"

Natalie realized that she had gone too far, smiled awkwardly, and turned to flee from Dorin's office.

Durin shook his head slightly, and he also realized that the people who were thrown here actually had all kinds of problems themselves. Then he picked up the phone and called Garfield, the guy had already returned to Ilian, not that he thought it was poor and backward, he went back to mobilize resources. If a city needs to be built, it will inevitably be inseparable from a large amount of steel, and as one of the largest in the steel industry in Yilian City, he will definitely participate in this prosperous era.

Dührin asked him to say hello to the leaders of the construction teams in the Eighth District when he came, to see if they would like to come here, and if so, Doolin would give them a satisfactory price. Then he called Dove again and asked her if she had thought it through.

When he came here, he asked Dove if he would like to come with him, and Dove's answer at that time was that he needed to think about it, after all, it was a bit far from Illion, and her family was in Illion, and Durin was not in a hurry to urge her. Now that there is a lack of a suitable person around here, I naturally think of this guy. Not only can she help herself deal with things in life, but she can also be a secretary.
