"Thirty-seven districts. Well...... Let me think. Binglian recalled the planning map of Changteng Town and did simple mental arithmetic, pointing out a direction again. "Here, at this rate, it's still about a quarter of an hour, and it's a farm. ”

After another quarter of an hour of quiet enjoyment, Jiao Ming knew that he had reached his target from the unique taste of cattle without reminding. And here is different from the darkness just now, not only are there more lights, there are street lamps on the street, but also pedestrians in twos and threes, and the whole seems to be a remote village and town in Zhongguo that has fallen into the night.

Simply swept the surrounding environment, Jiao Ming followed the outline of the light and found the top floor of a building on the wind outlet of the farm. In addition, judging by the slightly noisy voices below, this seems to be the big canteen of the farm.

"You can get to the point, it's too torturous to hang your appetite like this. ”

Ice Lotus let go of her limbs and stood firmly on the ground, looking around as if trying to find a seat to no avail. "Then I'll get straight to the point. If 'seeking truth from facts' is contrary to 'everyone is equal', which one do you insist on?"

Jiao Ming blinked his eyes twice, and after being a little stunned, he roughly understood what Binglian meant. If the inequality of all people in this world is an objective fact, then if we force everyone to be equal, will we fall into dogma and ignore reality?

"But ......"

"After all, this place is a different world from your hometown. Isn't it?"

Jiao Ming sighed lightly, and his mind was even more chaotic. Then he stretched out one hand and erected a simple bench from the condensation that he had obtained from Xiao Shi, which was originally used to make armor, and invited Binglian to sit down, and then sat down beside him. And a few actions down, to further clarify the ice lotus's thoughts.

"There are magical mediums and holy demon seas in this world. Some people can communicate with magical mediums, some people can't. Among the former, there are strong and weak. So you think that's the argument for 'everyone is not equal.' ”

"It doesn't stop there. ”

"What else?"

"The discussion of 'equality for all' and the concerns that come with it seem to me to be too early to be discerned little by little when it comes to practical issues. After a pause, Binglian stared at Jiao Ming and said: "And more importantly, we have to be clear about what the core goal is, grasp the big and let go of the small when our attention is limited, and don't dwell on the details." ”

"Ideological and conceptual issues are not trivial, right?"

But it's a matter of comparison. ”

"Give me an example. Jiao Ming was a little bit of a lifter.

"The question of the survival of the Crocodile Collar family. ”

"Ethnomeowism?"

"That's what your hometown calls that. Binglian also shrugged her shoulders, obviously lacking context, she couldn't appreciate the faint contempt in Jiao Ming's tone, and just slowly continued to state what she thought.

"A group, family, nation, or even nation, in a sense, is like an individual organism, and its primary core goal is always to live, whether it is aware of it or not. In this process, there are a variety of problems that need to be solved, which can be roughly divided into two parts: internal and external. To use the ideological theory you mentioned, it can also be said to be internal contradictions and external contradictions. ”

Hearing this, Jiao Ming waved his hand and said: "Ideological theory or something, I am also half a catty." So you don't have to be rigid, just say it yourself. ”

Binglian nodded, subconsciously raised her hand to gestur, and Jiao Ming tacitly teleported a table lamp over.

"Well, in the case of our crocodile collars. The first logic is that in order to survive, the problem of 'weakness' must be solved. The second layer of logic is the choice of industrialization for the sake of strengthening the self, and the accompanying ideological theories, such as whether you say money or labor, or even this discussion on an equal footing. On the other hand, if our crocodile family dies and the crocodile leads everyone to die, then what's the point of laborism, money-capitalism, or even equality or not?"

At least become a human experience of trial and error. Jiao Ming thought so, but did not say it. There is no other reason, just put yourself in her shoes, and you understand Binglian's thoughts. Suppose the Chinese nation is extinct, go to all the fucking bullshit. All the talk about the future path really doesn't make sense to players who are out of Planet OL.

"To make an analogy, the overall development of the crocodile collar is like walking on a potholed dirt road, and the biggest hole in front of us is the problem of 'weakness', which has not yet been filled, and it is a waste of time and energy to fill the pit of 'equality for all' in the distance. I don't think it's wise. Maybe the pit will become difficult to clean up by then, but at least we will not think about it until we get to the pit alive. ”

"It's kind of a 'drink to quench your thirst'. ”

After listening to the explanation of an idiom, Binglian gave a different opinion, "Isn't it obvious to die of thirst right away, or wait for the opportunity to detoxify in the future?"

"Okay! I've got your basic idea, so let's go back to the original question. Openly allowing the 'second bud' is contrary to everyone's equality, but what does this have to do with the 'weakness' problem of the crocodile collar in the first place? ”

"Isn't the answer obvious?"

"I'm sorry, I'm stupid, can I give some hints?"

Bing Lian blinked her eyes and nodded suddenly, "It's probably because the clan you came from is extremely large, so you ignore this. Let me remind you that we have less than half a million people in the Crocodile Territory. ”

"Population. Jiao Ming exclaimed, and then raised his voice a few points: "Do you want to solve the problem of insufficient population by purely relying on fertility? ”

"What good way do you have? rely on immigration?" asked Binglian rhetorically.

"Obviously, there is only one way to immigrate. ”

"Then let me ask you, why did the immigrants come?"

"Of course, it is a variety of preferential policies......" only half a sentence, Jiao Ming realized the problem.

With the exception of a few who hated their homeland or fled, most of the immigrants came to the Crocodile Territory not for allegiance to the Crocodile Territory, but for a better life. That being the case, when the crocodile is mired in chaos or war and cannot provide a good life, these people once again choose to abandon their 'second home' with little affection, and it seems that there is no need to cross any psychological barrier.

At this point, Jiao Ming also understood the Crocodile Leader's rather radical naturalization policy, and it was obvious that the crocodile leader's top management was not optimistic about the loyalty of immigrants at all.

"Can't war be avoided?"

"I also want to stop fighting, but this kind of thing is not something I can control for ten years. ”

Jiao Ming pursed his lips and said softly: "But people are not fertility machines after all. ”

"All living things are essentially self-replicating reproductive machines, including people, including you and me. ”

Hearing this, Jiao Ming stared at Binglian, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and was speechless for a while.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Binglian also turned her head to look at Jiao Ming, and her eyes gradually became a little surprised, "Fertility machine, is it a derogatory term in your hometown?"

At this stage, the crocodile collar, due to the emergence of machines has brought great improvements to all aspects of life, the word machine is a complete compliment. Even things that can be touched with it will have a bit of festive and auspicious meaning.

"At least not a compliment. Although objectively speaking, man is nothing more than a more complex flesh and blood machine. But it's a bit weird to say that it's a fertility machine. ”

"You think that's a weird idea?"

"A little bit. Jiao Ming scratched his head, not knowing how to express his feelings about the word.

"So do you rarely look at the propaganda slogans on the streets and alleys of Changteng Town? ”

Jiao Ming was stunned again, and realized that he had missed something. Crocodile Collar's propaganda about fertility has long been written all over the streets, and the specific content can be called a 180-degree reversal of his hometown policy. Words such as heroic mothers, fertility machines, fertility rewards, and even for the country and the people are not uncommon.

And this can't be blamed on Jiao Ming's big eyes and leaking his mind. Due to various objective reasons, the location of those propaganda slogans can only be the wall of the building, and the color fades when the rain blows and the wind blows, which perfectly fits the image of some promotional slogans and cheap advertisements in the Earth Bell Country.

But Jiao Ming, who has already experienced this kind of information bombardment, is extremely 'skillful' to block it, as if dealing with a screen pop-up window, and close it directly without looking at it. Coupled with the short return time and busy work, it has achieved the point of completely turning a blind eye

Bing Lian easily knew the result from Jiao Ming's expression, and sighed lightly: "If I didn't know that your eyes were fine, I really doubt that you were blind." ”

However, Jiao Ming found a more important piece of information from the slogan propaganda in the memory fragment, and asked: "The crocodile leader wants to implement citizenship?"

"On the one hand, learn the citizenship system of the Trow, and on the other hand, learn the Presbyterian voting system you played in the Viscounts. Of course, there are also some innovations on the basis of two aspects, such as one. Only those who give birth to a child in the crocodile collar are eligible to become full citizens. ”

"In this case, aren't you and I still 'citizens'?"

"Not even my aunt, of course. ”

"It's really hard to spare. Jiao Ming sighed, and then asked in a trance: "Could it be that you allow me to have the so-called quota also considered in this regard?"

"Exactly. Ice Lotus nodded generously, without any intention of avoiding taboos. "As I said, the core of a territory is the population, and so is the family. The crocodile family is not prosperous, and our main family is even more thin. And this must change. ”

Jiao Ming felt a strange feeling again. Although when I was a student, I had fantasies about stallions such as 'give me a beautiful woman and create a nation', but I just laughed and knew that this was impossible. But at this time, I was really treated as a stallion, but I had an awkward feeling that could not be dissolved, and I only felt that some part of my value was ignored.

"I still want to say that man is not a fertility machine. ”

"You don't want children?"

"I want to think about it, but these are two different things. ”

"Hypocrisy?"

"Don't say that. Although it does seem to be a little. Jiao Ming shook his head lightly, the result was the same, but he was entangled in the difference in reason, what was not hypocrisy.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Binglian also turned her head to look at Jiao Ming, and her eyes gradually became a little surprised, "Fertility machine, is it a derogatory term in your hometown?"

At this stage, the crocodile collar, due to the emergence of machines has brought great improvements to all aspects of life, the word machine is a complete compliment. Even things that can be touched with it will have a bit of festive and auspicious meaning.
