Chapter 102: Rebuilding Civilization
Terrorists or kidnappers, if they give in to them once, they will know that this method will work. It will only attract them to press step by step again and again, next time relatives and friends will be kidnapped again, and next time they will use self-explosion and crowd trouble to threaten you, so that you can make greater concessions and break the bottom line again and again.
Breaking the bottom line again and again is no different from not having a bottom line.
Most of the girls who run to **** still think about "only doing this once", as a last resort, as a last resort, there are always a few people who are willing to fall.
But the next time she is short of money, the first thing she thinks of is not to work hard, but to sleep with others, and to work hard for several days in a few hours.
- Since it has already been sold once, why pretend to be pure?
- Since you have already backed down once, why insist on it this time?
It is this kind of thinking that makes people fall easily.
This is not nonsense, but in reality, how can this kind of thing be less?
It's actually quite easy to avoid this.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han were vying for the world, Liu Bang's father was captured by Xiang Yu and threatened to kill him in front of the battle and cook him into porridge.
Liu Bang said with a dead face, "We are about righteous brothers, my father is your father, if you want to kill your father and eat meat, then share a cup with me." As a result, Xiang Yu was bored, and finally let Liu Bang's father go.
Qiao Xuan, a famous minister in the late Han Dynasty, who was ranked as the third duke, when his son was held hostage by gangsters and asked for money, he directly said: Don't indulge thieves who violate the law of the country because of a child, and decisively send troops to surround and kill, and the jade is burned.
Afterwards, he also wrote to the emperor to tell the world: "Anyone who takes hostages will be killed, and no treasure shall be used to redeem the hostages, so that the criminals can be profitable." ”
So the kidnapping gangs, which were arrogant at that time, and even the high-ranking officials in Luoyang City often arrested, quickly disappeared.
Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties...... These glorious dynasties all had a rule: the kidnapper must be executed without pardon, regardless of the reason, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, even if the kidnapping attempt is successful.
In some dynasties, it was even a crime for family members to pay for the ransom of hostages, or to kidnap cases without notifying the government. Even family members who paid money or concealed information were directly beheaded as accomplices of the robbers, so the number of kidnappings in that era was greatly reduced.
The Tang Dynasty even encouraged officers and soldiers not to have any scruples when arresting robbers, if they were slow to take care of the life or death of the hostages, it was also considered a crime.
Only such a person, such a regime, will not be held hostage - as long as this kind of thing happens, then everyone will know that it is impossible to grasp the weakness of such people.
Once a weak point is caught, it is better to destroy it completely. Then, it will become a mortal enemy who shares the sky.
Compared with coercion, they would rather sit down and talk with this kind of person, and if they can negotiate, they can naturally cooperate, and if they can't negotiate, at most they will just go to one side of the road, so as not to tear their faces and become mortal enemies.
But Lomin believes that Charandor is definitely not that kind of person.
If he had been so persistent, he wouldn't have cooperated with his two cousins first, and then simply betrayed them, and he wouldn't have listened to his own words and immediately ran to rub Sherlock's thigh and beg for mercy.
In fact, this is just human nature, and most people are like this.
Although it is said that only by overcoming certain shortcomings in human nature can we surpass ordinary people, but such transcendents will always be a minority, and ordinary people are the largest number in the world.
Luo Ming still likes this kind of person - easy to control, good to coerce, he won't fight with himself casually, and he would rather bend than break.
He wished that the world was full of people like this, and that this world would be considered a novice difficulty—though it was obviously not.
Not to mention anything else, Sherlock, the heir to a baron, already has a good scheming. The natives of this world may have many misjudgments due to information asymmetry, but the IQ is definitely not low, where can I underestimate it?
Writing down a few tips and tricks on a piece of paper that many people don't know, he gave Charando, and after signing an agreement with him, Romin sent him out.
Then, Lockin sat back in his chair, leaned back on the cushions, and shook his glass.
He looked at the sparkling liquid surface and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Regarding the matter of winemaking, Luo Ming did not study this major after all, at best, he knew about Pasteur's high-temperature sterilization, as well as distillation and purification methods, and more methods were actually from Aya's knowledge.
Although Aya claimed to be a noble and powerful being, and had read books for hundreds of years in the "Great Library" of His Highness the Black Sun, he was still shocked by such a knowledge reserve.
Knowledge about politics, knowledge about history, knowledge about combat effectiveness...... Why did she go to the extra point of writing down a detailed knowledge about winemaking?
Aya never answered this explicitly, occasionally flickering.
Through some side knocks, Luo Ming found that she not only knows a lot about winemaking, but even knowledge such as mining and farming, which may not be comparable to those super-grade masters, but it is definitely at the level of an ordinary expert, at most she lacks some practical experience.
The breadth of her knowledge reminded Luo Ming of an Internet legend.
It is rumored that during a turbulent period in the New Celestial Empire, and coincided with the great changes in the international environment and the unpredictable situation, a high-level leader secretly issued an order and published many very special encyclopedias.
"100,000 Whys" has added military content and become portable, and "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents" has simply written from radiation prevention to how to farm land, make fertilizers, purify water sources, prospect for minerals, and make steels by soil methods...... In the event of a nuclear war, survivors can get an encyclopedia in their hands and rebuild their civilization in a few years.
Anyway, Luo Ming didn't have much fear now, and directly told Aya about this conjecture.
"Your imagination is so rich...... No, it can't be said to be entirely imaginative, this speculation is touched. But this is just an idle move. ”
Aya said calmly: "At least now, we haven't noticed any huge crisis - if there really is such a day, whether it is the gods or His Highness the Black Sun, he will definitely directly capture a group of high-quality boys and girls, as well as carefully selected leaders, scholars, craftsmen, etc., all of them are sealed up in order to continue civilization after the catastrophe." ”
"With the knowledge of the other world, you can play the role of a great man from heaven, right? Then we, the apostles, are really great men sent from heaven by His Highness the Black Sun, so there must be something for others to bow down to.
There's a saying in your world: knowledge is power. This knowledge can make the barbarians worship me as a prophet in the wilderness, and it is also of great value in such a rural area. ”
