Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 229 [228] Sublimation

Coming back from Kema City.

Zhou Li'an no longer worried about the affairs in the south, and only took a look at the movements of the cities every day.

From the general atmosphere in the city, one can know how the situation is developing.

Kemah City is now completely open, and those who want to leave are temporarily not registered for household registration, and the vast majority of people are willing to submit to the equilibrium.

Like a hill city, households, teams, townships, and towns are formed.

Balanced contribution points are not applicable to these two new cities for the time being.

However, the production department and the life department have made divisions, classified them into categories, and performed their duties.

The production department is mainly for the hunting team hunting, salt making, wood cutting, agricultural planting, etc., with the main purpose of obtaining basic production and living raw materials.

The living department is responsible for "reprocessing", cooking three meals a day, leather tanning and leather goods production, and making wooden tools.

On the one hand, it is to meet the daily needs of the people in the city, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the future migration.

Under the operation of a sound system, Kema City quickly recovered from the chaos of the war.

Of course, for the first two days, people were at a loss.

Because the city-state alliance has stepped into the low civilization level of the slavery society...

The best comparison is the North American ministries "Before Equilibrium Comes".

Primitive clans eat big pots of rice, and tribes and clans with hundreds or thousands of people gather as one.

However, the material production of the city-state alliance has been excessive, and it is no longer necessary to hold together for warmth. While the individual consciousness is forming——

Private ownership arises.

Whether it is the bottom class or the wealthy class, everyone is busy with their own livelihood.

Not to mention the exploitation/exploitation issue.

The rich hired and even enslaved the bottom to earn a lot of wealth, and the hired bottom also survived with the leftovers given by the rich.

But now...

Time seems to have reversed.

If the hunting team hunts, the meat and fur no longer belong to oneself, but are handed over to the "canteen" and "leather workshop" of the Ministry of Life.

After a busy day, people are overwhelmed.

I don't understand why I work all day and get nothing.

But when he got home and was about to complain to his wife, he found that his wife was holding the new clothes in her hands and gesticulating on him, "Try it quickly, see if it fits!"

The husband was taken aback, "Didn't you go to collect the clothes today? Where did the new clothes come from?"

The wife said: "This is received from the Ministry of Life, every family has it!"

"Receive? Don't you need to spend money?"

"No, not really!"

After trying on the new clothes, the family went to the cafeteria again. The ready-made meals were served on wooden trays, and they could eat as much as they wanted.

Contains rich oily and salty food, almost everyone can eat it.

After the meal, the husband said with satisfaction: "This meat is delicious, and it is what I hunted today."

The wife brought another cup of brown drink.

The husband was overjoyed, "Where does this cocoa juice come from?"

The wife said: "It's in the corner over there, you can pick it up by yourself, maybe this is picked and roasted by our collection department today."

The husband and wife tasted the mellow bitterness, but there was infinite sweetness in their hearts.

When he fell asleep at night, the husband didn't say anything about the complaints after the day's rest, and he had already forgotten them.

Most people are in the same state as this couple. They were resentful because they didn't get anything, but they finally found out...

They got more than they expected.

The people in the city are still in the transition of a new life form, they seem to catch something in their hearts, and want to speak freely, but in fact, the words come to their lips, and they can't articulate.

And in the town hall.

Niushi and Zhou Weiguo have completed the two laws, and have begun to question the leaders of the "Brigade, Township, and Town"——

"Please submit your feelings and experience within three days, and think about the pros and cons of the balanced system."

This concept of questioning can be large or small.

Even in the Kingdom of Balance, there are only a few people who can talk about this issue.

But without going deep, just looking at the superficial level is enough for these "New Balance" people to have an ideological sublimation.

After the meeting.

Dedege is like most people in the city, "Teacher, I don't know how to submit this experience."

He now regards Queztitko as a teacher, and Quiztitko acquiesced to this, and said with a smile: "You can answer whatever you think, truth is the most important thing."

"But I just don't know how to say it." Dedege looked at the gravel on the ground, "Like these sands, I know they can be shaped into shapes, but I don't know what to shape into them."

Queztitko said: "Then, do you think the new system is good or bad?"

"Ok."

"Where's the good?"

"Just...carefree?" De Dege said unsurely, frowning, "The people no longer need to think about too many things, as long as they do their jobs well, they will have everything. "

Quiztitko continued to guide: "The new system was born from the coming of our Lord's will, and I can't comprehend the more profound resonance of the will; so within the scope of my ability, I only look at the superficial."

"Like an individual."

"individual?"

"Yes, individual! Let's take a hunter as an example. Now the hunting team hunts, all the income will be handed over, and then it will be distributed uniformly by a special person..."

"Then what about the past? You only need to compare the past with the present, and you can complete the test of the envoy this time."

De Dege was thoughtful, and while recalling, he said: "When a hunter got his prey, the meat and fur must belong to him. The meat can be eaten by the whole family, and the fur can be given to his wife to make clothes."

Queztitko asked, "I'm afraid you can't finish eating a bison?"

De Dege nodded, "If you can't finish it, you can either go to the market to exchange it, or marinate the meat."

"Is it easy to exchange?"

"If the meat is fresh, it is easy to exchange, but if you marinate the meat, you need bitter salt!"

"Tadong...Oh, no, the bitter salt in Kema City comes from the south, and it is very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain it."

Speaking of which, without the guidance of Queztitko's questioning, De Dege naturally started to extend his thinking, asking and answering himself——

"Natugo is a salt seller."

"I remember that I went with my father to sell salt, and there were hunters who bought meat and wanted to exchange for bitter salt."

"My father taught me how to be a merchant at that time. He said, 'The hunter's meat has not been kept for a long time. If you want to marinate it, you need bitter salt, and the salt we have is more valuable than his meat.'"

"Therefore, my father asked him to give more than half of the meat, and only gave him seven days' worth of salt for the whole family."

"So, the hunter said that the salt he got was not enough to marinate the rest of the meat, and cursed, even if the meat was left to rot, he would not exchange it with my father!"

Seeing that he was getting better and better, Queztitko also became the listener, "And then?"

De Dege said: "I saw him again the next day. As he said, he didn't come to see my father again. Instead, he set up a stall in the market to sell the meat."

"Although I bought a lot in the end, at dusk, maggots had grown on the meat, and no one cared about it anymore. As expected, he was thrown at the street corner, attracting a group of wild dogs to scramble to share the food."

At this point, De Dege has no more voice.

Queztitco said, "Are you finished?"

"Yeah!" De Dege nodded awkwardly, "Teacher, I still don't know how to compare what you said."

Queztitko said with a smile: "Because you didn't make a summary of your feelings. If you said the story of 'hunters throwing meat', how do you feel about this story, just say your first reaction, don't think about it!"

De Dege said: "It's a pity! It's a pity! On the first day, the meat was very tender, but in the end it had to be discarded."

"Then what is the cause of all this?"

De Dege was stunned and became embarrassed, "Yes, it's my father? Because my father won't give him more bitter salt?"

Queztitko said: "The business is a matter of your preference and my willingness, and there is nothing wrong with whoever asks for any price!"

"The meat belongs to the hunter, the salt belongs to your father, these are two individuals!"

"So what now? To whom do the meat and the salt belong?"

Hearing this, De Dege was shocked, "Does it belong to the envoy?"

"No!" Quiztitko slapped him, and said angrily, "It belongs to the Lord God, and it was given to all of us by the Lord God!"

"We are no longer individuals, but a collective!"

"The meat is ours, and the salt is ours."

"Derdege, do you understand now?"

De Dege nodded frantically, then shook his head violently, "I seem to understand, but, I still can't say it."

Queztitko no longer made things difficult for him, saying: "In the past, the hunter's meat could not be eaten up, it could only rot and be discarded;"

"Now, can the hunter's meat still be eaten? No! Because it can be distributed to other people who did not participate in the hunt!"

"At this time, the hunter will think, why should I give to others what I have worked so hard for?"

"At this time, the cafeteria opened, and the cooked food was delivered, with delicious salt in it, and told the hunter—"

"The meat from your hard hunting, and the salt from your brother who made salt, have been cooked by me into delicacies. You can enjoy them as you like until you are full!"

"I hope you can continue to send meat tomorrow, and the brothers who created the salt also promised me that they will send salt!"

"I have thought about it. I will marinate the meat and salt left over every day and store it in jerky. When there is no food, I will take it out and eat it for everyone! This way everyone will not worry about being hungry!"

"And at this time, the leather workshop of the living department sent new clothes..."

"He told the hunter that because of the meat he got, the brothers in the leather workshop filled their stomachs and gained strength, so they used the fur he got to make clothes."

"The hunter is overjoyed and feels extremely at ease, because he no longer has to worry about anything. After a hard day, he doesn't have to worry about making a meal. The ready-made food will be delivered to him."

"He doesn't have to worry about famine, the excess meat has already been made into jerky for reserve!"

"It can be said that what contributed to all this is the rotten meat that was about to be discarded!"

"Originally a piece of meat would generate more labor, but as you said, it was discarded and turned into food for useless wild dogs!"

De Dege exclaimed at this time, "Teacher, I don't understand! In fact, this is a very simple truth. Why didn't we live like this before? In this way, everyone can have food, clothing and happiness!"

Queztitko's words left Dedege dumbfounded——

"Ever? That's how we used to live!"

"how can that be?"

Queztitko pointed to the north, "Including now, the tribes north of the hill city also live in this way. Men are in charge of hunting, women weaving and planting, and there are special people in the tribe who are responsible for transporting goods to the hill city, Kema city ​​to exchange for the supplies they need."

"After returning to the tribe, distribute it to every tribe member!"

De Dege trembled inexplicably, "Then, why did it become like this?"

Queztitko took a deep breath and said: "This is what the Lord God said, the world has committed crimes!"

"When someone is blinded by sin and falsehood, and has a greedy heart...like the leader of the tribe and clan, they have more and more, why do they go hunting?"

"The leader only needs to stay in the tribe with peace of mind, and someone will bring them endless food."

"If there is one less person who works, but there is no change in consumption, then the burden will increase."

"Assuming that there are ten pieces of meat every day, two of them are given to the leader, and the rest are distributed among the people, so they can eat enough."

"But one day, when only eight pieces of meat are brought back, some people will be hungry! And the leader still has some leftovers, and those who are hungry will borrow from the chief."

"In the long run, he borrowed more and more, and finally reached the point where he couldn't pay back, and this person became a slave!"

"At this point, the chief doesn't need to do anything anymore, and the slaves will help him complete it, and the more slaves he has, the richer he will be!"

"On the other hand, people who used to live a stable life became slaves, and their lives were miserable, and they became what we used to be..."

"Your father and I are both slaves. Even in order to live better than others, we will learn from our masters, squeeze and plunder other people's things, and feed ourselves!"

"Therefore, the only true God in the world has sent down judgment! To save the suffering people in the world!"

"And under the impartial and stern gaze of the Lord God, no one dares to commit crimes, and anyone who commits crimes will be judged!"

At this point, De Dege was completely sluggish.

Queztitko also took a deep breath, and softly praised, "Praise my lord, praise the balance!"

He can be so lucid because he has fully experienced two different identities.

He used to be a member of the rich and powerful, but he could go to the big city to learn knowledge, and finally became a slave at the bottom, tasting the ups and downs of the world.

Although Quiztitko has not yet been able to summarize the pros and cons of resource integration and distribution under the two systems, he has already begun to see the door.

After a long time.

De Dege came back to his senses and said, "Teacher, I might use what you taught me as the answer?"

"I want more people to know the truth of this and stop being confused!"

Queztitko nodded: "Of course! This is the will bestowed by our Lord Equilibrium, and it should be known to the world."

The next day.

De Dege was among the crowd, uttering the "Rotten Meat Theory".

With easy-to-understand examples and comparisons, even the dullest people know the benefits.

And when the people in charge of these "brigades, townships, and towns" heard the precepts, they immediately passed them on to more people.

Therefore, people who were once confused, cleared the clouds and saw the fog;

I hate that sin even more! !

They uttered heartfelt praise——

"Praise him, our true God!"

"Only the judgment that He sent down can destroy all evils and bring back the joy and peace that the world once had!"

"Foolish people, listen to His voice, open your real eyes, and see through the false evil!"

When Kema City was completing a sublimation of spiritual civilization...

Balance the main city.

In front of tens of thousands of people, our Lord, the true God, blesses creation.

500 engines appeared out of thin air.

And Zhou Li'an ordered the frame made by craftsmen to prepare in advance, and assembled the engine, hub and chain.

When the engine start lever is stepped on by a person.

Boom boom boom.

The "blue smoke" that comes out when the brand new engine is ignited for the first time means another great step forward in the balanced material civilization! !
In front of tens of thousands of people...

A tricycle that does not need manpower and is dragged by cattle and horses is driven by the driver, running around the field, and it seems that it will never get tired! !
