Chapter 39: What Is More Useful Than Money?
It's just money alone, and it's okay to want people to work.
But if you want people to be motivated and proactive enough, the role of money will face a problem of diminishing marginal utility. That's when the more useful thing than money comes in.
That's grace, honor, and so on.
Is there anything more useful than emotional factors such as grace and honor?
Of course there is, and that is thought.
This time, Wei Lai has these things ready.
Standing on the eaves, Wei Lai's footsteps gently observed this early morning on the Wei Mansion.
Although it was not a long time, the Wei Mansion still adopted a full 400 people. Among them, there are about 170 boys and 240 girls.
This is because baby girls are more abandoned, and many girls, even if they are able to grow up, are often the first to be sold when natural and man-made disasters occur.
Every day, they would gather in the square to start their morning classes with the Weifu Teachings.
Then, when the second bell rings, the order of entering the cafeteria is determined according to the results of the morning class.
More than 400 people entered the square, and then began to line up according to their respective positions.
The time in line was very short, so Tian Sitong and Lu Yong almost ran into their own numbered positions at the speed of running.
"Quick, keep up!" Tian Sitong, the leader of his own team, beckoned to the other companions to follow quickly.
However, the sky was still a little dark, and Lu Yong, who was a little sleepy, ran in a hurry, and was hit by another sturdy child who ran quickly to line up without paying attention, fell to the ground, covered his hands, and cried out in pain: "I feel like my hand has fallen and dislocated......"
"What's the matter?dislocation?" Tian Sitong exclaimed, and soon said eagerly: "The time is almost up, Xiao Yongshou and I will help you, let's do it together!"
Tian Sitong helped Lu Yong to hurry up, and finally arrived in the queue, but fortunately, they got up early, and when the teacher stood on the high platform and beat the gong and drum, he was finally not late.
"Today's morning class, run and drill for a week! According to the speed, judge the order of the cafeteria! Start now!"
Hearing this, Tian Sitong sighed softly: "Today's morning class is so simple? It's a pity...... Xiao Yong's hand is dislocated......"
"Brother Si Tong, you don't care about me. You guys run first!" Tian Sitong helped Lu Yong up, but the two of them also deserved to lift the tail of the crane.
Lu Yong was both anxious and guilty.
"What do you say, you're my teammate, you're a brother. No matter who falls here, I'm going to take care of it to the end!"
After running a lap, Tian Sitong took Lu Yong to the infirmary.
When he got there, Lu Yong said that he wouldn't let Tian Si stay with him: "Go to the cafeteria, if you don't go, then our brothers will be hungry." You're hungry to have the strength to buy something for me, don't you?"
Tian Sitong ran to the cafeteria, and sure enough, the canteen was close to closing, and it was Tian Sitong's turn to only have some cold porridge that had been cooled.
After running four laps, he helped Lu Yong to go to the infirmary quite far away, Tian Sitong had already fainted from hunger, and devoured it, but with such a small amount, Tian Sitong didn't even eat enough half full.
Bang dang......
A bowl was put down, followed by a clang, and several plates were put down.
It was full of steaming breakfasts.
Sauerkraut lamb buns, egg cakes, shredded potato burritos, corn flatbreads, fried eggs, hot milk, fried dough sticks, leek boxes......
"There's no one here, let's eat together?" spoke to a man with gold-rimmed glasses, who was quite gentle: "I am a new teacher in Weifu, and I can see the way you support your injured companion, this is your reward." ”
"That's my teammate brother, what I'm supposed to do...... But...... But I'm really hungry too, thank you for the teaching, I'm welcome. Although I didn't recognize the smell and heat of breakfast on these plates, I knew it was extremely delicious when I smelled it, not to mention Tian Sitong, who was really hungry.
"What's your name, how old are you, how did you get in, your original family?"
"My name is Tian Sitong, and I am fourteen years old this year. My father and mother originally had 100 acres of land, but four years ago there was a big flood, my brother and mother both died in the flood, and my sister was sold to a large family to be a maid. My father was requisitioned by the county to build a dam, and when he died, I went to beg for food. Luckily, he survived and was adopted into the Wei Mansion again. ”
"Supposedly, your family has 100 acres of fertile land, why don't you go back to farming? Even if your father and mother are not there, even if you sell the field and farm it yourself, you can survive, so why go out to beg for food?" Wei Lai was a little puzzled, and he also made up the story of the land being seized by the powerful in his mind.
"I'm from Qiling County...... Tian Sitong said, and suddenly his gobbling movements suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes, with horror and despair, recalled the previous events.
And as soon as Wei Lai heard the name, he sighed deeply.
Qiling County is a large county thousands of miles away, close to a large river in Yuguo: the Spring River. Qiling County, which is near the river, has fertile land and is a famous land of fish and rice.
However, five years ago, there was a vicious Jiao in Chunjiang in Qiling County.
This Jiao was originally safe with people, but five years ago, he failed to transform into a dragon at a critical moment, went mad, and fell into madness.
For a time, the entire Chunjiang River was turbulent, and there was a major flood comparable to a once-in-a-century disaster. More than a dozen counties were affected by the disaster, and the most important one was Qiling County.
On the one hand, Qiling County organized manpower to fight the flood and tried to build a dam to resist the flood, and on the other hand, it quickly reported for help.
Yu Guo's reaction was not slow, and he immediately sent a master of the Jindan period to go out.
As a result, after this master approached, he found that this evil Jiao was already delirious, unable to communicate at all, and because of the failure of the breakthrough, he was frustrated, and went crazy under the pain, although he only had the level of the Jindan period, it was not at all something that ordinary Jindan stage monks could resist.
After some investigation by the imperial court, it was found that if it were not for the amazing combat power of the Yuan Infant Monk, it would be difficult to resist at all, and if you wanted to kill this evil Jiao, not only would it take a lot of trouble, but if you were not careful, you would also be exchanged for a life by the other party, and you would die as soon as you were not small.
The levels of immortal cultivation in the Lingyuan Continent are: Qi Refining Period, Foundation Building Period, Jindan Period, Yuan Infant Period, Refining Void Period, Transformation Period, Merge Period, Mahayana Period, and Tribulation Period. On top of the tribulation, you can soar and break through, and practice true immortals.
Among them, one foundation building period is enough to suppress a small city like Lingguang Xu, and it is rampant and domineering in a county.
A Jindan period is the top combat power in a county.
As for the Yuan Infant Period, it is the top combat power of every big country, and it is the treasure of the town, and it will not be easy to go out. The refining period above the Yuan Infant is even more rare. It is rumored that he is already the top combat power of the top sects of the major immortal cultivators.
Further up, because of the decline of the spiritual energy, it is rumored that it is difficult to see it in this Lingyuan Continent.
Therefore, after discovering that this evil Jiao was so difficult, Yu Guo immediately asked for help from all the top sects such as Yuanjianmen.
It is said that slaying demons and eliminating demons is the duty of the righteous path.
For this kind of evil Jiao that stirs up trouble and harms countless people, it is even more condemned by everyone.
However, when it really came to the critical moment, the situation changed again.
