"That's probably because you don't see it through. Binglian smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Jiao Ming tightened his arms, his tone pretending to be threatening, but actually laughing.

Binglian immediately begged for mercy, but twisted her body. Jiao Ming felt that there were signs of recovery in some aspects, and decided to end the topic quickly and throw out his own views directly.

Such a major transformation of the language of the entire nation will inevitably pay a huge social cost, and it is difficult to estimate how much benefit can be obtained in the end. I think we should be more cautious. And using things like language makes me feel weird, not too 'ancient', not too 'pure'. ”

Binglian repeated these two words twice and said, "Maybe." However, it is important to note that with the increase in communication between the crocodile collar and the outside world, it is impossible to 'pure' the language. Even now, with the increasing number of Gentiles, various languages, including the lingua franca, have been mixed. Sometimes I can't even figure out what they're saying. And considering that the total population of our crocodile collar is only a few hundred thousand, and the number of immigrants is already in the tens of thousands, this phenomenon will only get worse. Therefore, since there must be changes, I hope to be closer to the high-volume language of Chinese, which can be regarded as a one-step process. ”

Hearing this, Jiao Ming was finally inclined to agree. With a population of only a few hundred thousand, the language resistance is extremely strong, and it is better to introduce the familiar 'Chinese' than to introduce a large number of 'lingua franca'. But he also noticed another important issue: population.

"Is the census of the crocodile collar done?

"Ninety percent has been completed, and the tentative estimate is 490,000, and the final figure is believed to be not very different. ”

"Is it really only such a small population? Jiao Ming sighed lightly and shook his head slightly. Although this has been estimated for a long time, it is still cold to hear this data. In my memory, there are more than one million people in the fourth-tier city where I was born, and this huge crocodile collar is less than 500,000 people, which is really sparsely populated.

The bigger problem is that population is the most important foundation for industrial development. Even considering that most of these 500,000 people are young and middle-aged, and the elderly almost do not exist, there are many things that cannot be played with this person.

"Do you think it's less?"

"It's too little. ”

"Then we have to work harder to create people, don't we?"

"We ...... Ahem, you woman. Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, but after he realized it, he couldn't cry or laugh, and then his voice suddenly raised, shouting: "Hey! wait, don't scratch around." ”

"What's the matter? You didn't just hold on to me. ”

Well, let's contribute to the population problem of the Crocodile Territory. Jiao Ming said, confirming that the soundproof barrier had not failed, and then became dishonest.

"It's really high-sounding. ”

"You brought up this stubble first. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the two washed and dressed as usual under the service of Luohua, while Xia Feng was chatting about all aspects of important news. Obviously, the two maids already have a certain division of labor. Halfway through, Xiaoshi rushed in and laughed for a while, and then had breakfast together. The topic at the dinner table continued last night, and Xiao Shi heard about the plan to introduce Chinese, but she agreed with it. Jiao Ming asked the reason, but it was really just a 'sense of familiarity', and Xiao Shi didn't think about it about the 'purity of language and culture'.

At this time, an aunt and maid sent a message to the effect that the language teacher who suddenly received an overtime notice last night had a bad teaching experience and the teaching progress was not ideal.

After listening to this, Xiao Shi immediately said: "If you have a language problem, why don't you find that Butterfly maid, remember that she is with her brother." ”

Jiao Ming shook his head. "You don't want to, but something went wrong with the teleportation magic, so I'll practice it again just to be on the safe side. ”

"Why don't you ask ......Sister Emily for the problem of teleporting magic?"

Binglian's eyebrows jumped, and she almost squirted out the porridge in her mouth, interrupting, "Emily...... Sister?"

Jiao Ming also had a terrifying expression, in terms of master and apprentice, in this way, wouldn't he be shorter than the poet?

Xiao Shi blinked her eyes twice, and then she understood something from the expressions of the two, but she pouted, "Call all the older women sister, is this common sense, okay? Sister Binglian doesn't know, forget it, brother, you don't know? You are still from Zhong Guo." ”

Binglian turned her head to Jiao Ming and asked, "The tradition of your hometown?"

"Good...... It seems that there is such a thing. Jiao Ming was slightly embarrassed. But I remember that when I was a child, my mother told my father to the effect that it was easier to bargain with my grandmother who was selling vegetables, "big sister", not "big aunt" or "big aunt".

Ice Lotus nodded. "Well, I don't have to worry too much about what I'm called, but I think it's important to teleport Butterfly over. Although she is a little involved with Evan's family, she is still a talent, and it is no problem to put it in areas that are not core. ”

"The point is that the portal is down because of me, and I'm a little embarrassed to contact Master Emily. Yesterday morning, when Master Emily left, she didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes was eager to eat me. ”

"In the name of our crocodile collar, how about inviting them over to the autumn harvest celebration?" suggested Xiao Shi.

The Autumn Harvest Celebration is somewhat similar to the synthesis of the Chung Chung Spring Festival and the National Meow Watch Conference, which has both humanistic and political meanings, so there is no tradition of inviting 'outsiders'. On the other hand, the autumn harvest celebrations in the United Kingdom began here from the south to the north, and everyone was busy with their own work, which also made the invitation impossible.

It was the ice lotus who was slightly embarrassed and said, "Come to think of it, Master Emily is also celebrating the harvest at home." ”

"Not necessarily, I remember Emily talking about how she and her family were not having a good time because of their marriage. Jiao Ming felt that this was a good excuse to get in touch, after all, he also wanted to know very much about the resumption of the portal.

"Then try it. Binglian nodded.

After breakfast, Xiao Shi went to play with her little sisters, Jiao Ming wanted to start the construction of the Labor Party as planned, or go to the production line of various factories to attract people to join her. It's a pity that as soon as he said the plan, he was reminded by Binglian that it was now a 'holiday', and all the factories where Crocodile had nothing to do with food were shut down. Jiao Ming was helpless, so he accepted the suggestion of practicing qi magic, after all, this is also a very important thing in all aspects.

At the same time, a rather politely worded letter was sent to Emily's Mage Tower via a greatly reduced vine teleportation network, and was answered within half an hour: Emily had been invited and would arrive at noon.

"It seems to be going well. Binglian replied with a shudder, and said with a smile.

Jiao Ming also smiled, "I guess that although Master Emily went back on the day of the autumn harvest celebration, he would find a reason to run away the next day." ”

In terms of geographical location, the autumn harvest celebration in Emily's hometown is even earlier than that of the Green Flame Kingdom. Jiao Ming speculated that in addition to the original understanding, it was more inspired by staying up all night with Emily the day before yesterday.

"So, we can't talk about blind dates?"

"You're not trying to pick a cheap husband from the crocodile collar, are you?"

Binglian admitted it calmly. "I've thought about it, but it's just a small sprout, after all, we don't have a worthy candidate on our side. Obviously, it seems that it is completely impossible. ”

Jiao Ming felt weird for a while, as if he saw Binglian incarnate into those seven aunts and eight aunts who urged marriage and birth.

"What kind of eyes are you, if you can place Master Emily in, at least it will be a marquis-level qi mage family, filling a gap in the crocodile realm, do you know how important it is. ”

Compared to the southern world, through the allegiance of small and medium-sized families, the Earl family can already form a small four-line alliance. And the crocodile collar only has a group of water-based magic warriors, and the gap is obvious. However, although Jiao Ming could understand this eagerness, he couldn't agree with Lalang's means, and said with a little sarcasm: "This way of filling in the blanks is really a bit strange." ”

"So what do you want?

"Ahem......" Although he was glared at angrily, Jiao Ming remembered what happened last night, and was immediately choked by saliva, and the qi magic was immediately out of control, and a bunch of large and small spatial cracks appeared in front of him, and the room was filled with the whistling sound of the wind like a vacuum cleaner. I have never heard that after a woman breaks through a certain level of relationship, she is even dirtier than a man, and it is true.

"In broad daylight, say this is very much. ”

"What's the matter, this room is full of your own people. Binglian didn't care. At this time, in the living room used as an office, only the two maids Luo Hua and Xia Feng were on standby, and on a certain level, they had indeed been classified by Binglian as a 'sister camp'.

There is no need to say much about Luohua, but I didn't expect Xia Feng to be counted, and Jiao Ming, who realized something, looked at the two maids. The flower blushed and was as delicate as a peach blossom. Xia Feng is expressionless and does not squint. But if you listen closely, you can still hear the tall girl's heart beating faster.

And when his gaze finally returned to Binglian, he immediately met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling. Jiao Ming, who was secretly happy in his heart, immediately restrained his expression and said solemnly:

"Recruitment will be the focus of our crocodile collar for a long time to come, and it will definitely not work to rely on the old conditions of marriage and childbirth alone. We have to make a change. Establish a set of interest-centered recruitment mechanisms. ”

"You want to talk about the split shares?"

Jiao Ming nodded.

"I'm sorry. Those elders have regarded many factories and enterprises as more important than their roots. This kind of thing, we really can't interfere with now. ”

Jiao Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "In the long run, things are not as difficult as you think. ”

"Tell me about it. Binglian simply sat beside Jiao Ming,

"The reason why those old antiques are precious to factories and enterprises is to generate profits, but from another perspective, it also shows that there are too few factories and enterprises. If there are so many bad streets, they will naturally not hold on to it. ”

"Where can anyone think of a lot of money?" Binglian objected.

"Factories don't always make a lot of money. The current situation is good, but it is affected by many factors. When the external situation changes, or there are more factories and enterprises, internal competition is promoted. It will be a well-managed enterprise that makes money, and a poorly managed enterprise will survive, and then it will be our opportunity. ”

"When?"

"Within a year. ”

"How?"

"Of course, it's to create more businesses and set an example in terms of diversifying shareholdings. After a pause, Jiao Ming still said solemnly with a deeper consideration: "And I also plan to replace the land ownership of all families with the equity of the new enterprise." ”

Binglian gasped. For feudal lords, there is a kind of bitter attachment to land, even if there are more profitable channels, it is the same. As a member of this class, Binglian immediately understood the difficulty of this.

"It's not easy, are you serious?"

"Extremely serious. Just as seriously as when discussing the dukeship. The issue of land ownership is a central issue, and even if we don't have to divide the land to collect the hearts of the people, we have to make sure that the nature of the land is 'public property' and not something in the name of a person or family. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Whose pocket does the income generated by the release of land use rights go into? ”

"The land is nothing more than planting and building houses. The former has limited benefits, the latter is not picky, and our crocodiles have large areas of wasteland and mountain forests. The income generated by land use rights is necessarily not much, is it worth making such a big move?"

"Scarcity is expensive. Taking a long-term view, factories and enterprises want to build as much as they want, but land will be rare for a long time. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the two washed and dressed as usual under the service of Luohua, while Xia Feng was chatting about all aspects of important news. Obviously, the two maids already have a certain division of labor. Halfway through, Xiaoshi rushed in and laughed for a while, and then had breakfast together.
