Chapter 103: Get rid of stumbling blocks
When Sang Wu and Mo Di returned, the few of them began to sit in the courtyard again to continue their previous discussion. Future Sukarana said straight to the point: "Regarding the previous question, I thought about it carefully, and I still don't want to give up on anyone easily, but if they choose to leave Jianing City on their own, I will not stop them. ”
His decision seemed reasonable, but it was unexpected. During these days, there were some people in the city who were constantly stirring up trouble, trying to get others to do what they wanted, and disturbing everyone's peace. No matter how well Mo Di and the others persuaded and forcibly stopped them that day, the same thing would still happen the next day, which was a headache. Gradually, more and more residents of the city proposed that they be expelled from the Devil's Forest, otherwise there would be no peace. But when his partners raised the matter to the future, he didn't immediately take a stand, and now he began to rehash the same old words.
Accidents are accidents, but they all seem to have tacitly accepted the future Sukaranna's position as the leader, and thus respect his opinion on some important matters. Although everyone didn't think that leaving those troublemakers would do Jianing City any benefit, since it was a future decision, there must be a reason for him.
So, Murdi asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"
"I was thinking that since we were able to come together, in a sense, at least there was no conflict between our ideals. We all want to live in a world of peace and tranquility, right?"
Seeing that they all nodded without hesitation, Future continued: "I know that some people in the city are not easy to get along with, and everyone is troubled now. I don't want to drive them away, but I know that it won't do you any good to indulge them. No matter what, I will remain true to our ideals and will never allow anyone to be a stumbling block on the path of our ideals. However, I suddenly realized that not only a few of us, but everyone living in the Eastern Continent may become a part of the peaceful homeland we have created in the future. Therefore, as long as there are discordant people, even if only a small part, our homeland cannot be called peaceful. Since we have decided to create a new world of peace, we cannot only defend this one place forever. If we easily abandon those few people now and expel them from the city of Jianing, what about the future? Are we going to slaughter those who disagree with us, or simply expel them from the Eastern Continent, as other rulers have done...... Is it like what Yiwan Sukarana did to the Fidans more than a thousand years ago?"
Future Sukarana did not hesitate to tear a bloody new wound on the old scar in his heart to remind himself that in the future, even if the power is monstrous, he must not repeat the mistakes made by his ancestors.
This passage was tantamount to a slap in the face, which immediately woke up several people present, and made them suddenly realize that the road to be taken in the future is far from being as smooth as they imagined now. What they have to consider and bear is not just their own peace and tranquility, but the peace of all. Among them are those they like and those they hate, those who approve of them and those who oppose them......
While torturing herself, Sukarana also unconsciously tortured all the people present: If you want to accept those you don't like, and create a new world of peace for some people who hate you and oppose you, can you really do it? Is it too self-righteous to force those who disagree with you to accept your wishful peace? Maybe not all people like a peaceful and peaceful world, such as those who make a fortune from disasters...... Do you regret it now? Because the path you have to take is too difficult and the goal is too far away, so you just give up? For a while, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and gradually realized how complex the problem they were facing.
I don't know how long the silence lasted, until a sudden sound of "bang-" finally woke up a few people in deep thought.
Future, Silent Truth, Yan Shu, and Sang Wuqi looked up, only to see Karma slamming the two plates of food on the table, only to realize that it was already dark, and none of them even noticed when Karma left to prepare the food.
"Have you all forgotten your dinner?" Kama brought out a few more plates of food, and then sat down as well, and when she saw that they were all exhausted and had deep faces, she couldn't help laughing, "Don't you feel tired thinking so much? Now that we've decided what we're going to take in the future, don't let those boring people get bogged down, what's the difference between hesitating and holding back and being a coward?" Are you going to give up your dreams just because someone doesn't like them?"
Karma's words of temperament instantly dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts, and Mo Di suddenly smiled: "You are right! Everyone has different choices, there is nothing wrong with sticking to their dreams, other people's paths should be taken by others, there is no need to worry about it." It's a simple question, but we've been confined to the world's predicaments. In fact, as long as you stick to what you think is the right path and move forward, it is easy to lose yourself unconsciously by thinking too much. ”
Once they figured it out, things became much simpler, no matter how the pattern of the Eastern Continent changed, their determination and goals would not change. So, perhaps the most urgent issue now is not just the conflict between the few people in the city. Based on the current situation, the number of refugees fleeing to the south will continue to increase, and an effective management system is indispensable for the stable and orderly development of Jianing City. In this way, even if more people come in the future, as long as they are managed according to this system, it will not be easy to cause chaos.
In fact, Mo Di already had a preliminary plan in his heart, but out of some selfishness, he did not immediately say his thoughts, but looked to the future first and asked, "What kind of society do you want to build?"
The sudden question made the future startled, he really wanted to create a new world of peace, but how exactly would he achieve it? It was such a realistic question that Modi asked him. Future thought about it seriously before replying: "A society of peace, freedom, and no slavery and famine." ”
Hearing this, Mo Di couldn't help but secretly admire: He really has the qualifications of the king that I ideal! Since this is the case, it is worth my best. Only by following such a king can I realize my ambitions. So, Mo Di finally let go of all his worries and continued: "Since ancient times, our social development model has basically been like this: produce food, raise people, promote national prestige, conquer and expand, in order to obtain more resources, and breed more people...... This cycle shows the importance of food production to a society. Therefore, we must first focus on food production, and then see how we can alleviate the conflict of a small number of people, so that we can concentrate our efforts against foreign enemies. Otherwise, without the enemy's action, Jianing City will collapse on its own, after all, it is still in a period of war. ”
"Fortunately, we have enough land to cultivate, so we don't have to worry about it, just plan it out in detail, but the question is how to make the residents feel at ease. If you are still fighting and fighting all day long, I am afraid that no one will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Yan Shu said thoughtfully, but he didn't expect to go around a big circle, and the problem returned to the original point. "Is there any way to stop those people from always hating each other and turning against each other?"
When one is grateful, hatred naturally subsides. Sang Wu felt it, and probably no one in the audience knew this change of state of mind better than him.
Letting them experience gratitude and sharing together may be a good way to resolve disputes. Future agreed, "Although a few residents are more stubborn and cause trouble all the time, they do not take the initiative to leave." This can at least show that they all know in their hearts that no matter where they go to earn a living now, they can't be as safe and comfortable as Jianing City, isn't this a good start?"
"How can we let them experience gratitude and sharing together?" asked Morti with interest. As he spent more time together, he realized more and more that this young man possessed many spiritual qualities that he did not possess himself, and as if a road to his ideals had appeared in front of him, Mo Di couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The future thought about it and said: "At present, most of these people are afraid of each other and dislike each other because of their former identities. If we want to bridge this barrier, we must find a way to let them cooperate with each other, and only in the process of giving and sharing the harvest together, can they experience the same degree of hard work and joy, and realize that their survival is inseparable from each other's efforts. ”
However, after those people came to Jianing City, they basically occupied their own land and swept the snow in front of their doors, although they were self-reliant, they were not rich. Everyone lives only for their own interests, and when war comes, they will scatter again and run to another safe place to hide. No one will fight for Jianing City, because they don't think of it as their home at all, just as a temporary refuge. Kama said indignantly.
This is indeed the case now. "Yan Yu is deeply touched.
"Well," Murdi nodded, and continued, "it's not just bad for them, it's bad for us as well. It would be fairer that we would repair all the remaining houses in the city and then distribute them, so that all the residents could move into houses in similar condition, and the rest of the houses would be used as public storage, and they would have no reason to complain. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the occasional use of force to solve problems as a last resort. ”
Mo Di smiled meaningfully. In fact, everyone knows that when encountering a problem that needs to be solved by force, it still has to rely on the three main combat strengths of the future, Sang Wu and Yan Hong, after all, people have a potential tendency to obey the strong in their hearts. Later, Mo Di laid out a further plan based on the ideas previously proposed by Future and Yan Shu: "So many people need food and clothing, but in fact, the inhabitants of the city are uneven and independent, and as a result, everyone can barely make ends meet. In such a state, in the event of a disaster or war, not only will there be insufficient reserves to survive the crisis, but more disputes will arise due to hunger. So I thought, while redistributing the houses, we should also plan the land, using part of it for farming and part for animal husbandry. Then, gather all the inhabitants of the city, and arrange for them to engage in productive activities that they are good at or love, according to their strengths. In this way, they will not feel very hard, but they will also be able to gain joy and freedom, which in turn will stimulate their initiative to promote close relations between people in a production mode that combines self-sufficiency and reciprocity. This can not only effectively increase food production and solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone, but also eliminate the estrangement between people by the way, so as to achieve the purpose of experiencing gratitude and sharing together. Then, this good social order will continue to improve and develop through self-catalysis, and gradually move towards our ideals. ”
When it came to ideals, everyone was in high spirits, and Sang Wu also proposed: "In your spare time, do you want to train all the residents? Jianing City must have a certain ability to protect itself, otherwise, how can we be enough to deal with a sudden war in the future?"
Sang Wu used to be a warrior of Donglai City, although he was forced to be a slave for nearly ten years, his combat ability and city defense experience have long been deeply rooted in his soul, and he never wants Jianing City to become the next Donglai City. This proposal naturally won everyone's unanimous approval, so the defense of Jianing City was handed over to Sang Wulai.
So, the future said: "In that case, then let Mo Di formulate a basic system for Jianing City, I don't think there is anyone more suitable here than you." At present, although we only have more than 100 residents, for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future, we should simply treat Jianing City as a country, and the education system and reward and punishment measures are also necessary. Otherwise, it will be too late when there are more and more people in the future. ”
Of course, no one will oppose this proposal, and among the few people here, it is true that only Mo Di can bear this heavy responsibility. Because, Modi Boro was probably the most learned aristocrat in Asmara's history, and his name was already well-known in the Eastern Continent as early as his teens. He was a great inventor and military strategist, a visionary educator and thinker, and a mentor to many young aristocrats in Asmara, who knew almost everything from astronomy, geography, military affairs, history, and statecraft. But more importantly, today's Murdi Boro is more open in thought and vision than before.
Looking at the eager partners, the future can't help but sigh their luck, meeting them is like harvesting an important wealth in life. I remember when he was in the Arc Lake Valley, Mo Di once asked him, "Do you think the power of one person alone is enough to change such a big world?" and his answer at that time was "No, but I believe that in this troubled world, there must still be many people with great thoughts." As long as you find all these people, you can change the world together...... so, in a sense, he is indeed on the ideal journey now.
Like children who have just received gifts, they sat in the courtyard and excitedly "fiddled" all night, but it was this important night that laid a solid foundation for the future development of Jianing City.
