Chapter 175: The Torrent of the Times
A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
In some areas of Zhuping's hometown, a month has been in the stage of "I don't believe it, this is fake news".
Exegesis:
The standardized response process in Zhuping's hometown consists of four stages:
1 Nothing happened.
2 There may be, but no action is required.
3 Maybe action should be taken, but nothing can be done.
4 Maybe something should be done, but it's too late.
……
Under the centralized structure of the joint company, where the power is highly centralized, resources can be centrally allocated, and can be reasonably dispatched, there are simply not too many things to do in a month.
First of all, the United Company officially changed its name to the United Kingdom.
Within a month, society within the kingdom tended to stabilize.
Down-to-earth people can afford to eat through work, people with special talents can realize their value through a stable environment, and agile people can build the kingdom stronger in various public positions in the United Kingdom.
Previously the nobles said:
In winter, some people starve to death and freeze to death, that is a normal thing, and you have to learn to get used to it.
People are inherently lazy, and if they are given enough to eat, they will not work.
Those slaves should be whipped behind their backs, for their own good.
And now, the age-old problem of everyone having enough to eat has been solved so simply, and even what is happening now is like a miracle in the eyes of some "knowledgeable" people.
There is an account in Zhuping's hometown.
If each person needs to eat a bowl of rice every day, but there is a problem with the food supply, if everyone eats a little less, they can still carry it.
Regardless of what other worlds say, at least in this world, the aristocracy and the rich hoarded six bowls of rice, making some people slaves and some starving to death.
The remaining three bowls, of course, are "gone".
……
In addition to the food supply, in just one month, an artificial barrier was erected on the dock that stretched for miles.
The large pieces of masonry are bonded together by a hydraulic gel, which is like an iron wall, giving people a strong sense of security.
Hydraulic gel sounds very high-end, but it is actually cement, modern cement is very demanding, in high-rise buildings, according to hardness, strength has a strict category division.
However, here, the construction of a defensive structure such as a city wall does not require a high standard.
The limestone and clay are ground to make raw material, and then the mature material is fired in a cement kiln, and the additives can be completely left out, and it is still tough enough.
The world's technological process has entered the early stage of industry, and cement factories abound.
Although Zhu Ping can't show off with this knowledge.
But also because of this reason, the kingdom has complete internal infrastructure, there are also a lot of cement reserves, and there are mountains around the capital, which are rich in mineral and soil resources, and the production line can be directly used.
This artificial barrier stretched from the dock to the part of the capital near the mountains, like a snakeskin that twisted and twisted, covering the capital with a half-wrapped protective cover.
As mentioned before, the shape of the capital of the kingdom is similar to a sugar gourd, the capital is the firewood and grass pole with the sugar gourd, and the nobleman's castle is a sugar gourd.
The side of the firewood pole is bordered by the sea.
The pier is one of the flat areas, and the rest of the place is mostly cliffs.
For example, the location of Viscount Lin Zheng's castle is built on mountain cliffs, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to climb up when the beast tide comes, which is one of the safest areas in the entire kingdom.
When the winter beast tide comes, some of the beasts crawl out of the water, and the first area to be attacked is the dock.
When winter comes, the docks are like little lambs swaying beside wild beasts.
Of course, there were also trenches in the docks that the workers dug spontaneously.
That is, a canal near the sea.
These canals plug gaps in the winter, draining the water and turning them into trenches.
It can be regarded as a means of defense, but it is nothing more than that, and there is nothing that can really be regarded as a large-scale defense facility.
Every winter, tens of thousands of people in the capital become the rations of the beasts, which is why the land area of the kingdom is not low, and the population is so scarce.
It's just that every year, people living in the docks gradually get used to the harsh reality.
But even if you are used to it, people always have an instinct to survive.
Instinct guides everything.
There are better options, who wants to fight the beast with their bare hands!
Therefore, when building this artificial barrier, the workers' attitude towards work was not only not negative, but even a little too fanatical.
Because this barrier is the armor they use to fight against ferocious and extraordinary creatures, and every centimeter higher they build, the better their chances of survival.
Who doesn't want to live!
So the workers spontaneously supervised each other.
If someone is lazy, they will be isolated collectively.
The frenzy grew, and because of the competing bounties between the various construction teams, the entire United Kingdom construction sector, the defensive construction division, fell into a collective frenzy.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Ping didn't understand what this kind of behavior could be called in psychology.
Desire to survive?
Collective psychosexual suggestion?
Mental stereotype?
In short, Zhu Ping now deeply understands a sentence, the times are a torrent, when you choose the right route, it will push you forward.
……
The wind blows on the face in winter, not like a knife in winter, nor as warm and moist as spring and autumn, like a big mouth.
It makes people feel moderately unhappy, but they become numb after a while.
Today, I am busy and free, and I wish Pinglina Gongjiang and a few people from Gongjiang to come to the dock to sketch.
The endless crowd is the best image template, and the hot work background is the best emotional background.
The trio had a dried animal skin tied to their drawing boards.
The figures on the sketchboard are unusually plump, and at the same time, the paintings are exquisite, and the pictures are lifelike, as if they have painted people alive.
Mr. Hutt, the old craftsman, was amazed.
Although, Lina's painting style is inevitably a bit heavy, and the way of painting is too format-oriented, which seems to be one-dimensional and lacks creativity.
But a player like her, if she doesn't have Zhu Ping shining on the side, she can be called a genius anywhere.
Mr. Hurt nodded, and wrapped his hands around Olena's side.
Her paintings on animal skin panels, no, can't be called paintings, more like photographs than paintings.
Although Lina also likes to buckle details, Lina's painting is still habitually based on the whole and carries out artistic processing.
But Olena is truly restored, and even every strand of hair is clearly engraved.
"It is the supreme masterpiece of life machinery!" The old craftsman didn't have a good temper with the little apprentice he was pulling with one hand.
It is easy to attribute the credit to the mechanical creation of life.
However, the life machine belongs to the life machine, just like Zhu Ping's hometown may not be able to draw in detail with the help of the program, her mechanical hand is one thing, and the most important thing is her careful character.
Finally, the old craftsman moved his footsteps, walked behind Zhu Ping, and exclaimed: "It deserves to be my genius!" ”
"Boss, there's something important."
And at this moment, Na Dana and the two also happened to come over to report the situation, they hurried behind Zhu Ping and saw the painting in Zhu Ping's hand.
"Poof......
"Wahaha......"
When the old craftsman heard the rough man's laughter, he jumped up and punched Na Da to the weakness, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, what if you surprise my genius?"
A reckless man who doesn't understand art! ”
The picture on Zhu Ping's drawing board is approximately:
o…… o
Too...... wood
If I'm not mistaken, there are two people on the drawing board.
