Chapter 551: Freedom from Fear
(I've been stuck in a magic barrier these days, and I can't write a word while sitting in front of my computer.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I think I'll get through it, though. Lejun book friends, let's cheer together!)
The lights in the engineering building were on until the second half of the night.
There are so many things to arrange to build so many factories at once. The future capitalists, appointed by Donner, are still laymen who don't know anything about opening factories, organizing production, and so on, and even if Donner himself has a plan for them to start construction, everyone is still in a mess.
As a result, Danny naturally became a sought-after commodity, and everyone wanted to pull him to their own factory, so they almost made an offer on the spot.
In the end, it was Donner who made the decision to distribute the more than 200 workers at the "Industry Fair" to 33 factories equally, and Danny was arranged as a "roving engineer" to oversee the preparation of each factory.
More than half of the workers on site, including Danny, were veterans of the Lingbei Machinery Factory and had seen how to build a factory from scratch. Giving them this task can also be regarded as useful for school. It's just that in the next few years, Lingbei Machinery Factory can only temporarily suspend operations.
It has been seven years since the opening of the Fog City Engineering College, and now, the number of civilian children studying there has increased to more than 700, of which more than 300 have completed more than three years.
Donner promised Mino, the others, to arrange a job fair in Misty Town in the future, where the factories could find talent from these children.
These people alone naturally can't meet the manpower needs of more than 30 factories, and the remaining vacancies can only be confidently solved by Mino. Presumably, they can only recruit civilian workers in the vicinity of their respective factories.
After arranging these, the time was already in the middle of the night. Lisa and Alex were also with them, and both seemed to be in good spirits, but their respective concerns were slightly different.
Alex listened carefully to the details of opening the factory while translating at the same time. He was fascinated by the content of division of labor, quality supervision, production cycle and supply chain organization, etc., and he couldn't help but nod his head frequently when Donner explained the reason to Mino.
The Medici family traveled all over Middle-earth, and naturally had countless workshops of all kinds, large and small, and Alex had personally managed these workshops since he was a teenager, and he was quite proficient in this field. However, every time he heard Donner propose a concept, it was as if a knot was opened in his heart.
Before today, he couldn't imagine that the way of creation could have so much knowledge and be sorted out so clearly. He suddenly understood why Lisa, who had enough mana to reign in Middle-earth, would be so polite to the young duke.
Lisa didn't understand what was related to factory production, but she understood people, and because she understood people, she frowned slightly almost all night.
She couldn't figure out why these people, who were as weak as bugs, were not afraid of Donner at all. The well-dressed aristocrats can be said to be Donner's friends, but what about the inferior people who are running back and forth? Why do they all have smiles on their faces, and they don't have the consciousness of facing the strong at all?
Lisa quickly saw the mystery in this: the atmosphere was caused by Donner himself, and even when he talked to the little ones in the funny light blue clothes, he was smiling and groaning, and he didn't have the courage of a strong man at all.
But she could clearly see that almost everyone in this hall looked at Donner with respect in their eyes, even Alex.
Lisa suddenly remembered that she had seen such an atmosphere in another place.
It was in the Governor's Society, and her father, Grantis, spoke kindly to those who were inferior, and those who respected him.
But it's a little different, his father Grantis is a weak person who is escaping from the world, he only cares about those numbers and formulas, and doesn't care about people and things in the outside world at all. But the man in front of him is obviously doing a big thing, a big thing that may change the whole world.
Lisa had had confronted Donner head-on, and knew that he had the means and the city, so she couldn't understand why he seemed so casual like he was. This is too far from Lisa's image of those strong men with clear goals.
With this question in mind, she followed the crowd out of the engineering building lobby and into Donner's carriage. The others, including Alex, consciously kept the carriage for only the two of them.
"Why are you trying to please those people?" asked Lisa as soon as she sat down.
"Please?" Donner was confused.
"With your ability, there will not be a single person in the entire continent who will go against your will, so why should you consult with these people? Lisa said: "If the whole continent is not unified, you said that it is to hide your tracks." So what's the purpose of wasting time like this today?"
"I thought you were going to say something. Donner shook his head, "I do this, of course, for my reasons. ”
"Your reason?" Lisa smiled and said, "Your reason is that you are not strong enough. ”
"Really?" Donner smiled as well, as if I didn't need to explain it to you.
"Wake up, there's no way you're going to make everybody like you. Lisa said disdainfully: "The result of trying to please everyone is to be timid and hesitant." ”
Donner curled the corners of his mouth, looked up at Lisa, and said, "So that's what you think?"
"Do you know that this beast tide just passed was a full three months longer than before?" Lisa's tone grew colder, "You said it yourself, there are powerful enemies south of the Heavenly Kingdom that can drive the legendary beasts. No one can say when they will show up. Wake up, there's no time for us to wander. ”
Donner's face gradually became serious, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "You have been a strong man since birth, and you have never experienced the taste of fear. ”
"I'm always facing the fear of the approaching beast tide!" Lisa was a little annoyed, "Unrealistic kindness will only kill us all!"
"That's not what I meant," Downer shook his head, "when a person is surrounded by the fear created by power, he is nothing more than an uncreative walking corpse, and no amount of such people can help." You've probably seen such an example. ”
Lisa was speechless for a moment, he knew what the example Donner was talking about, in the Magic Continent, the Bothon people were not industrious, but they could only be swallowed up by the beast tide again and again.
"I don't need slaves who obey orders, but people who can think on their own initiative. Downer continued: "Isn't man different from an animal because we can think, because we can solve problems creatively? ”
Lisa's brow had never been so furrowed. If she had heard this before today, she would have laughed and refuted it mercilessly, but after seeing those magical machines, she actually felt that there might be some truth to this statement.
At this moment, I saw her brows suddenly stretch, and she chuckled: "Look, this is the result of your weak means." ”
Then, outside the carriage, the sound of countless arrows breaking through the air was heard. (To be continued.) )
