Chapter 192: Li Xianxian's Secret
Without the few tons of heavy loads, the difficulty of carrying the sailboat has really dropped a lot, and Zhang Ming ran all the way.
Brother Hao naturally hid by the stove to recuperate, and it was impossible for a turtle as big as Xiaobai to walk on the ground.
Shi Mama even stuck to the mast, pretending to be a radio: "Listeners and friends, good afternoon, I'm Li Xianxian." The 'New Century Tax on High-Income Persons' promulgated by the Occult International Coalition is under review by governments around the world and is expected to be initially implemented next month......"
"If this tax were applied to the whole world, it would have a positive impact on all ...... humanity"
In the past two months, since the alliance was reached, the earth has changed extraordinarily.
The "New Century Defense Line Project" is equivalent to building a Great Wall on the periphery of Pangea Continent, and it can be regarded as a world wonder that has attracted worldwide attention.
In fact, if you want to create a spectacle, you must first cultivate internal strength.
From the level of internal strength, human civilization does not have the strength to build a wonder.
Around this project, all kinds of debates and quarrels have naturally become eternal topics. At the heart of the quarrel is, who pays this sum of money and who should pay the most? Is it the largest contribution of territorial area, or the highest contribution of industrial capacity, or the largest contribution of population and resources?
These debates may go on for a long, long time, just like issues such as "global warming" and "carbon neutrality", which are likely to be torn for decades!
"But this time, several major powers actually reached a preliminary consensus...... Tax the rich! ”
This approach...... It's kind of awesome!
Because in the past, it was difficult to collect taxes on the rich, and there were too many ways for the rich to avoid taxes, so they transferred their wealth in minutes and received a one-yuan salary for themselves.
But now it's different: if this tax is levied globally, where will the wealth be transferred?
Lao Zhang was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, he felt that this was a great thing.
The two monkeys lead the way, and after the excitement of returning to their homeland gradually wears off, they stop from time to time to rest for a while.
When he got to the back, he didn't move, panting, and he looked like he was about to get sick.
They really can't outrun Zhang Ming.
The two guys also wanted to get on board and were too lazy to walk.
There was no way, Zhang Ming could only stop and wait for them, after all, without these two guys leading the way, he couldn't find the so-called "Monkey Pavilion Valley".
"&*%¥&Rhino!!" The big monkey seemed to be in a hurry, so he screamed strangely in his mouth, and climbed along Zhang Ming's body to the sailboat.
The smaller monkey "Mao Mao" was a little scared at first, but later he couldn't help it, grabbing Zhang Ming's nose, ears and lips, he just crawled upward, almost stuffing the soles of his feet into Lao Zhang's mouth.
The two monkeys became passengers.
Zhang Ming: ......
Am I a donkey? To be abused like this by you!
“*&%&¥!” The monkey occasionally climbed down, stepped on Emperor Zhang's head, pointed the way, and then quickly climbed up again and played with Xiaobai.
Zhang Ming's heart was cold.
Now all the animals are too lazy to walk, and he is left alone, carrying a sailboat, day and night.
"Do you really think that my old Zhang is a bully?!"
But he shouted in his mouth, but he was very helpless in action, so he could only turn into a toiling person and carry the boat quickly.
Zhang Ming felt that he had become the legendary "Kua Father", and according to the monkey, he could reach their hometown by heading east, in the direction of the sun.
Fortunately, throughout the whole process, the voice of the old comrade Li Xianfeng has always accompanied him.
Li Xianfeng is one of his Lao Zhang's best friends, he shows up on time every day, occasionally works overtime, and even sometimes finds a young lady to read him a story, there is no such good person in the world. Although many times Li Xianfeng is broadcasting some boring content.
After the point in time, it was already night, and theoretically Li Xianfeng should also go offline to rest.
Suddenly, the radio emitted a loud electronic sound.
Li Xianfeng cut the line in the workshop and whispered.
Because the broadcast was sent through Gaia's consciousness, in fact, there was no need to use satellites at all, and Li Xianfeng was the person in charge of this work, and no one knew about hiding in the room and saying something weird.
"Actually, I've been wondering how the tax on the rich came to an agreement...... This is indeed a very difficult thing, and the resistance is extremely great, which is equivalent to dedicating one's own interests to all mankind, which is really incredible and strange to me. ”
"So I quietly surveyed the 100 people who had been in the closed-door meeting."
Li Xianfeng sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Actually, there is no particularly good result. A third of them explicitly support a tax on the rich, which they claim is for the votes of the people. ”
"The other two-thirds are ambiguous and don't make a clear statement."
"But in the past two months, the world situation has indeed been turbulent, about 300 wealthy people, including some tycoons in energy and mineral resources, major shareholders of multinational corporations, etc., have died due to various accidents, the political turmoil in various countries is very serious, many prime ministers have been impeached and resigned, and personnel changes have also been particularly drastic......
"It's as if there is an invisible hand that is dominating and controlling all this. These invisible hands are very hidden, but because Lao Wang is also involved, I have a faint suspicion. ”
"I actually have some ideas, but I don't dare to say too much."
"At least this step seems to have been successful."
"Lao Zhang, do you have any special ideas? Who knows what the future of humanity will look like? ”
Li Xianfeng was silent for a while when he said this.
Zhang Ming did not stop running, and the turbid breath exhaled from his chest turned into a cloud-like white mist. The snow is still thick underfoot, and a large area of snow collapses into it with every step.
However, Zhang Ming still understood what Li Xianfeng meant.
Probably the "special ability" who changed the history of the planet.
Zhang Ming smiled: "Actually...... It's nothing, Lao Li, as a scientist, you have some liberal tendencies, and you can understand it. ”
"But you're so simple, don't get involved in political struggles."
Li Xianfeng suddenly said on the radio: "I have been thinking, if people have an afterlife, what should they do? In this life, I am almost 70 years old, and my life path is almost here, and I have made some small achievements, but not much. ”
"There are some things I see that I can't participate in and can't change."
"If there is a next life, what should I do? Business, politics, the military, or something else? Or do nothing but be a bystander? ”
Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, his pace slowed down slightly, what do you mean, what kind of riddler is this guy doing?
Don't......
The broadcast came to an abrupt halt.
……
……
In this way, Zhang Ming kept running with the boat.
When you're hungry, stop for a bite to eat, and when you're tired, put down the sailboat, hide in your bedroom for a good night's sleep, rest and continue on your way.
His feet were naturally much faster than those of the monkeys, and after almost half a month's effort, he had already walked out of the cold zone.
At this time, the temperature rises to 15 degrees Celsius and the amount of vegetation increases. The plants of this world are different from the island of Kameno, and the trunks are generally thick and the leaves on the top are scarce, reminiscent of the "bread tree" of the African continent.
It may be because the sun is not very abundant, and there are some plants that are crooked, like bean sprouts, photosynthesis can only replenish part of the energy needed for growth, while geothermal ecosystems from the earth can replenish another part of energy.
The existence of various towering trees hindered the forward route, and it was a little inappropriate to carry the sailboat away, so Zhang Ming could only follow a stream, with the help of the ability of "King Kong", and push the boat slowly on the water.
Suddenly, the monkeys shouted, "Qualifications! (Where to go!) )”
They jumped out of the boat and ran towards a big tree that had been cut down on the shore, looking happy.
Near this stump, there are also tools such as stone axes, shovels, and saws, which are quite rough. Although the monkeys have mastered some metal smelting methods, but this technology, Lao Zhang picked up the pitted and copper-smelling saw, and he really couldn't stand it.
It may be that the scene is emotional, but the monkey is a little sad when he is "anxious", and his furry palm wipes his eyes.
When they set off, there were seven monkeys.
And now...... The monkey has joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny.
Zhang Ming understood what they meant, and nodded: "Oh, did you just cut down this tree and make a canoe......
"The valley is nearby? There are only three days left! ”
……
……
The autumn wind stirs up the high fog, the green mountains come out of thousands of miles, and among the rocky mountains and rivers, you can faintly hear the cry of the apes echoing in the canyon.
This is a place called "Monkey Pavilion Valley", where primitive intelligent creatures still practice the lifestyle of sunrise and sunrise, almost isolated from the world.
A cave with a hot spring is ablaze with flames, and several skewers of grilled meat placed above it emit the aroma of cumin.
A monkey king with a body of about two meters, fat and strong, is racking his brains on the sand to create words.
For an intelligent race, the most important thing is inheritance, and wisdom without inheritance is not wisdom, but just a little personal cleverness.
However, with the increase of knowledge, the words left by the ancestors began to be insufficient, so they could only be created out of thin air.
The monkey king scratched his head and touched his ears, brewed in front of the fire for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and held back a word.
It drew a monkey's skull on the ground and inserted a knife into it, which probably means "danger".
After inventing this word, the monkey king was very satisfied, grinning and laughing, and he was tired from racking his brains just now, even more tired than fighting 10 female monkeys at night.
But the feeling of holding it out is simply ...... Perfect!
The Monkey King yelled, and then several "clan elders" of different statures gathered around to discuss the use of this "word", whether it could be improved, etc., and it was really presentable, and there was a feeling of a civilization meeting.
