Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"Of course you are not, you are an upright official." His Royal Highness Alexander sighed, he was naturally very aware of his current predicament.

But there was nothing he could do.

7 father and son quarrel

"What is the father arguing about?" Alexander listened curiously. The sound insulation effect of the hall is very good, and he could only faintly hear some quarreling sounds outside the hall.

"It's probably still the same. Even if I don't talk about those things, you must understand, Your Highness." Maxim spread his hands and said

Alexander understood. It was probably those things. To build a palace, one had to ask officials for money. If officials couldn’t get it, they could only ask for it from landlords and businessmen.The father also wants to weaken the power of the bourgeois faction in the army, wants to dismiss General Oleg, and also wants to transfer General Shivanov out of the city defense. Oh my god, he never thought about how much this would cause the bourgeois faction to backlash ?

"Has the Minister of Finance, Mr. Maxim, arrived?" A court attendant came out of the hall and asked outside the hall.

"Here, here." Maxim put on his hat again, bowed slightly to salute His Royal Highness Alexander, and walked into the hall with a slender walking stick.

"It's terrible." Alexander mumbled while watching Maxim's back.

"It's bound to happen."

"His Royal Highness Alexander, Your Majesty calls you in." This time it was the butler Horn, who just went in to inform the king, and apparently the king agreed to Alexander's admission.

"Thank you, Grandpa Horn." Alexander shook hands with Horn, handed the helmet under his arm to Peter who was beside him, and walked into the hall with big strides.

"According to our country's finances, Your Majesty, I do not recommend that you continue to build the palace." Maxim's voice quickly appeared in Alexander's ears, and Alexander hurried two steps to the main hall where the meeting was held to participate in the meeting .

"That's not what you said last month. You said last month that if the financial revenue ratio is used, the palace can be built according to the plan." His Majesty Ivan stood up with a beard and a stare. He was full of jewels and a strong figure. Like Alexander, he has an upturned mustache. He looks very energetic in his 50s. Think about it too. Can a guy who eats, dresses, and entertains all day long not be energetic?

"That was last month, Your Majesty. A wave of monsters broke out on the southern border. Many villages were destroyed, and there were more refugees. According to the plan, we will recruit most of the refugees to join the army. If this is the case, our treasury will not be enough to support the construction. The new palace." Maxim argued in a flat voice

"Then leave those refugees alone! Let them fend for themselves!" His Majesty Ivan shouted

"It's absolutely impossible! Father!" Alexander hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand when he heard this.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

The nobles and officials in the hall touched their chests and saluted Alexander. Alexander also nodded and bowed slightly in return, trotting all the way to the front.

"Alexander, you are not on the front line, what are you doing when you come back?" His Majesty Ivan was very dissatisfied with this son interrupting his order. He has always been very dissatisfied with this son. Too indecisive, not a bit of a king's temperament.

"Father, General Oleg and I came back together, and we plan to come back to replenish some soldiers." Alexander stopped, bowed deeply to Ivan and said.

"Hmph!" Ivan didn't answer, just hummed dissatisfied.

"Father, you must not ignore the refugees." Alexander said in a deep voice.

"As long as the tide of monsters is stabilized at the front line, the production at the rear will return to its original state. By then, father, you can build as many palaces as you want." Alexander advised

"You asked me to wait?!" His Majesty Ivan was angry.

"Yes, father, what I mean is that you should wait, this year is not the time yet..." Alexander didn't understand why his father was so stubborn. Is a palace so important?

"Hmph, wait? Alright, let's expand the army normally. You and Oleg are in charge of this army expansion plan, but remember, [-]% of the refugees recruited by the army expansion will be in Oleg's army." His Majesty Ivan is vicious. laughed.

"No..." Alexander quickly wanted to dissuade him. He knew what his father was up to. Untrained refugees often had very weak combat effectiveness. It is a huge expense to arm the refugees with armor and weapons, and it is necessary to divide the veterans to lead the troops, reducing the combat effectiveness of the troops.General Oleg will certainly be unhappy about this.

"Also, from the day after tomorrow, the Grand Knights should be vigilant. I heard that some merchants in the capital are evading taxes, and the Grand Knights will investigate them." Ivan turned to the middle-aged man in knight armor standing beside him. Speaking of

"Just use the money found out to repair the palace without delay." His Majesty Ivan added, and the middle-aged man also showed a sinister smile, bent over to accept the order, and strode out.The officials at the scene changed their expressions. Everyone knew what His Majesty Ivan meant. He wanted to take them under the knife.

"Father!" Alexander shouted anxiously.

"Shut up!" Ivan also yelled at Alexander.

Sun Boyang stood up angrily, he was very dissatisfied with what his old father said just now.

The women and children at the table became frightened, and another man who seemed to be about the same age as Sun Boyang quickly got up and wanted to persuade Sun Boyang, but Sun Boyang shook his head, pointed to the chair and motioned him to sit down.

"Father, why do you always make such unbelievable things? Isn't the factory I run very good?" Sun Boyang asked with one hand on the table angrily

"It's very good, but look, how much money do you send to the workers every month?" Sun Boyang's father is short, his hair is completely bald, his beard is gray, and he looks like a man with a straight face. Looking like an old landlord, I really don't understand how he gave birth to such a heroic son as Sun Boyang.

"How much wages I pay is my business, doesn't it also affect the earning money? What you eat and drink now are not earned through the hands of those mud legs in your mouth." Sun Boyang was very angry at his cheap father Speaking of

"Look, you treat me like this? I just quit the workshop to teach you how to take care of me. You dare to teach me like this. Are you going to kick me out in the future?" Cheap Daddy Santos (also can Translated into Sun Tuosi, which is why Sun Boyang has Sun in his name.) He was also very angry, and he also blew his beard and stared.

"I said father, brother, stop arguing, why do you bring these things to the dinner table?" The man on the side persuaded.

"Sun Raul, don't interrupt, I want to see what kind of fart you, big brother, can do." Santos laughed disdainfully.

"Every month, how much do you overpay those workers? How much do you charge them every month when they live in that hotel? Every month, how much do they owe when they go to the hospital to see a doctor? This month you are going to give them coal again to let them spend the winter, Sun Boyang, why didn’t I see that you are so capable before? What I gave you is a factory workshop, not a charity!” Santos asked angrily.

"Every month, what is their efficiency? How much profit does our factory make? Is there a time when the money they owe the hospital has not been paid? How much did the hotel cost when I built it? They How much has the total rent paid so far accounted for the original cost? If they are gone, I can go to other factories to find a job. I have lost this group of skilled workers. How much time and energy will it take to retrain workers, and Do you know how many orders you lost?" Sun Boyang asked sharply.

"Fart, don't quibble here, kid. Look at how those workers are used to you. Tell me honestly, what happened to those workers with red armbands? Why did they dare to talk back when I went to the factory to train them? ?” Santos lacked momentum, his son has been extremely tough since three years ago, he sat down and asked Sun Boyang

"What did you teach them?" Sun Boyang asked strangely.

"I went there at noon yesterday, and they sat and rested there after eating, and didn't work. Look, how lazy they are? I reprimanded them a few times, and they moved you out to blame me. , You said that I am wronged as a father, this factory was mine three years ago, if I told them to get out, they would have to get out obediently, who would dare to talk back like this?"

Santos was a little aggrieved. In his perception, this was completely against the sky. How dare this group of mud-legged people talk back. He doesn't have any face as a master.

"That's the rule I set. Take an hour's break at noon so that you can work more energetically!" Sun Boyang retorted

"It's almost half an hour. In the past, they would have to work immediately after eating." Santos muttered in a low voice.

"Father, brother, stop arguing, let's eat, you can see that the food is cold, Anna made fish soup today, it won't taste good when it's cold." Sun Raul persuaded the fight embarrassingly at the side, he is very young as a younger brother It's difficult, in terms of opinion, he supports this brother who used to be a wanderer but now has a capable brother, but father, you can't disobey your father, right?

"Well, scoop up some more for the child. It's good for the child to drink fish soup." Sun Boyang nodded and sat down again, giving the brother face. He sat down and picked up the book on the table, and ate the bread with the book in one hand.

Seeing this, Sun Raul sighed helplessly. Since his brother was bitten by a monster three years ago and survived, his whole person seemed to be a different person. In terms of communication, more and more people are looking for my brother recently. There are soldiers, businessmen, and officials. God knows what kind of big shots my brother has befriended...

Sun Boyang's current state can be said to be desireless, not to say that he doesn't like good things, a good life, delicious food, and beautiful ladies, but his knowledge and consciousness tell him that now When it’s not time to enjoy, Sun Boyang once declared under the red flag, and he has unswervingly adhered to that oath all his life. He once watched various red old movies repeatedly, and his heart was full of admiration for those heroes.And now, he's going to be the star of those old red movies.

8 wake up

"Raul, do you know how the people at the bottom live now?" Sun Boyang turned to his cheap brother Sun Raul and asked.

"This..." Raul frowned. He didn't know how to answer this brother who had changed his personality. To be honest, he and his former brother were really good brothers. The difference is that he is more filial, married a wife and started a family. The question Sun Boyang raised is true and it is difficult for him.

"Okay, let's make an analogy like this." Sun Boyang put down the book in his hand, and said to Sun Raul in a pleasant manner

"If, if my cute little nephew grows up, you should hire a tutor to teach him how to read, how much do you think you should pay the tutor every month?" Sun Boyang asked with a gesture .

"Hmm... 50 copper coins?" Sun Raul thought for a while and replied cautiously.

In the past, he was not very afraid of this big brother, but now it is different, the big brother really looks like a big brother now, sometimes Sun Raul is more afraid of Sun Boyang than his father Santos.

"Fifty? Why?" Sun Boyang smiled. His younger brother could say such a thing in this environment, either he is stupid or sweet, or he has never experienced it.

"Because... teaching literacy...is a very noble profession, right? Maybe fifty is too few?" Sun Raul replied cautiously, stroking his beard.

"Fifty?! My God! Are you as crazy as your elder brother!" Santos stood up and roared as if stimulated.

"Come, come, let father tell you how much you should pay the tutor." Sun Boyang said in the direction of Santos.

"Give money? Why should you give it? Even if you give it, it will be a lot if you give him fifteen at most!" Santos waved his hand and said disdainfully

"15!? The wages of workers in other workshops are not so low, right?" Sun Lauer was taken aback, and his father's words refreshed his three views.

"You bastard, do the math, what is the origin of the tutors? A group of dilapidated magicians, barely graduated as magic apprentices, not even apprentice magicians, that is, they can read a few words, and they don't have to work every day. Why? Paying them so much wages? It's just a bunch of scumbags!" Santos cast a glance at Sun Boyang, pointing at Sang and cursing.

"There are 30 days in a month. We take care of food and housing. We pay him one copper coin every two days, which is quite a lot! Give two bounties, and they have to be grateful to Dade, do you think our money came from the wind? It was earned by us taking so many risks! Those workers don’t need to take any risks! They will go after this family is ruined The next family! A group of things that don't know how to be grateful!" Santos scolded.

"Look, this is the current environment." Sun Boyang laughed helplessly, and said to the shocked Sun Raul.

"Because the environment is so dangerous, Sun Raul, my dear brother, tell me, what do you think 15 copper coins can do?" Sun Boyang asked again.

"I don't pity those poor people, I just give them the reward they deserve, which they should get." Sun Boyang waved his arms vigorously.

"As for the risk that my father said, I would like to ask, don't the workers take the risk? Once they lose their jobs, they will starve. If they are injured at work, they will not receive any compensation. Without their pillars, once they are old, they will not be able to continue working and will continue to starve, aren’t these the risks that the workers take?” Sun Boyang asked the cheap father Santos.

"I won't argue with you, I can't argue with you." Santos wiped his gray beard, glared at Sun Boyang and was about to leave the living room.

"How about this, my dear brother, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you come to the Toryask factory and visit the workers' lives with me, and then go to other factories to see their lives." Sun Boyang said to Sun Raul with a smile

"Good brother." Sun Raul agreed very honestly.

"You are not allowed to go! I will ask your elder brother to give you some more money to open a new factory, lest your elder brother ruin the factory." Santos shouted dissatisfied.

"I'm going back to write a book. Don't bother me if I have nothing else to do." Sun Boyang ignored his father, just nodded to Sun Raul, opened the door and went up to the second floor to return to his room.

Sun Laoer walked out of the room in a daze. He walked out of the house and took a walk in his own manor. He persuaded his wife to go back. The reason was that it was too cold to come out. He walked aimlessly in the manor alone. It's like pulling out the soul.

"What can 15 copper coins do?" Sun Lauer said to himself

For him, fifteen copper coins is probably just change for a day out with those friends, and it may not even be enough, but for a tutor, it is his monthly wages.

For the first time, he realized that his daily consumption could equal a month's wages of a literate gentleman.

And that gentleman must also be grateful to Dade, and said thank you with painful tears when paying wages.

"What kind of outrageous thing is this?" Sun Raul sat on the ground, leaning against the tree and sighed.

He is still a bit of a pursuer, he claims to pursue elegance, and likes to make friends with those noble sons, especially those who have little money but like to pretend to be elegant, that is, those who have not inherited the title.

Every day they get together and sigh, sighing that the royal family is trying their best to squeeze them who have a little money. They get together once a day to write romantic poems and literary articles, and compile them into books and publish them. Of course, few people read them.

Sun Lauer felt as if he had come into contact with a new world. He couldn’t wait to visit his brother’s factory. He still remembered visiting his father when he was a child. The workers in the workshop were thin and dark, looking like a hell on earth. He didn't dare to go to the workshop anymore. Now, according to his father and brother, the workshop seems to have changed a lot?

His mind is in a mess now, he feels that he has been doing nothing for 30 years, and he is a little envious of his brother's current busyness. He seems to have grasped something in his mind, but he seems to have grasped nothing.

The sound of a carriage came from outside the manor. A carriage was driving hard on the muddy road. Sun Raul stood up and looked outside the manor. Several servants hurriedly opened the door and went out to ask who was coming. After hearing what the coachman said After that, he hurried to the villa again.

"Who's here?" Sun Raul stopped the servant, who should be called Yake?This guy has been in their house for three years, ever since his brother woke up after his accident, brought this beefy lad back from the street, brought him back and gave him a job.

"I don't know, I'm here to find Mr. Sun Boyang. Looking at the badge on the carriage, it seems to be the carriage of an official government." Yake whispered hurriedly, and continued to rush to the villa to knock on the door. Sun Raul saw the magic power supply Under the light of the lamp, the elder brother stood up, chatted with Jacques for a few words, then hurriedly picked up a manuscript on the table, put on his favorite black woolen coat and octagonal hat, and went out.

"What happened to brother?" Sun Raul stopped Sun Boyang who was in a hurry and asked.

"There's a meeting, I'm going to the home of Victor Zuoxiang, you remember, don't let my father go to my room, especially don't touch any books, you look fine, don't let my father move. Do you understand? Raul?" Sun Boyang grabbed Raul's shoulder seriously and asked

"Understood, I understand brother." Sun Raul was a little envious. His brother visited senior officials and generals every day, and even the nobles did not dare to give him a bad face easily. A brother is a brother, and he only knows better than him. The younger brother who stayed with the down-and-out poet was much better.

"Okay, I'm leaving, take care of the family, if... If someone from the Great Knights comes, you and your father, as well as your siblings and nephews, run quickly to General Shivanov's barracks, and say that you belong to Sun Boyang Family." Sun Boyang whispered nervously.

"What the hell happened! Brother?" Sun Raul asked in surprise. According to his brother, it seems that the king's capital will not be peaceful tonight.

"Don't ask, you don't know anything when you ask, Yake! Wake up Lida and let her go with me!" Sun Boyang shouted to Yake.

"Mr. Lida is here!" Yake held up a torch and waved to the servant's cabin in the distance. A short but exquisite girl in white clothes ran out of the cabin with vigorous steps, and quickly He ran to Sun Boyang's side, took the initiative to hold Sun Boyang's hand, and looked at Sun Boyang with big curious eyes.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?" Sun Boyang touched Lida's blue hair kindly, and said to this cute little girl.

"I miss Master..." Lida wrote in Sun Boyang's rough palm.

"Don't call me Master, call me Mr. or whatever." Sun Boyang shook his head.

The girl has long blue hair, both her face and body look very immature, she seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old, she is wearing rough white clothes with patches, not what girls from rich families usually wear The sweater embroidered with flowers, the pants are also tight, and the shoes are also the most suitable casual shoes for work.Everything looked like it was getting ready for battle, but the kid was 13.

"I've said it all, don't live there in the future, move to the opposite side of my house, or live in the rooms on the first floor." Sun Boyang feels sorry for this girl, although the environment of the servant's hut has been remodeled very well by him Yes, but it is not suitable for children to live.

"Master won't let me live..." Lida pouted again, and wrote in Sun Boyang's handwriting

"Hmph." Sun Boyang snorted disdainfully, he was already very dissatisfied with this stubborn father.

"Let's go, I may need you tonight." Sun Boyang smiled again and said to Millie.

Millie became vigilant immediately after hearing this, and guarded in front of Sun Boyang to block Sun Boyang from walking slowly. Seeing this, Sun Boyang laughed loudly, put the octagonal hat on his head on the girl's head, and pulled The girl's hand stepped onto the carriage.

Sun Laoer went up to the second floor, and turned on the magic lamp in his brother Sun Boyang's room. He walked into Sun Boyang's desk curiously, and there was a manuscript that seemed to be written not long ago.

"On Exploitation and the Exploited"

9 Conclave

Sun Boyang stroked Lida's hair again. To be honest, he always felt it was quite novel. One interesting thing about this world is that these people's hair often has various colors. Of course, black and gold are still the most , but there are also many other different world standards of hair, such as Lida's light blue color. It's not that he didn't dye his hair in his previous life, but it's really rare to match people in this world without any sense of disobedience.

Lida felt Sun Boyang's touch, leaned against him, hugged Sun Boyang's arm tightly, and looked around vigilantly.

Speaking of which, adopting Lida is also quite bloody. Once Sun Boyang accidentally rescued a businessman who had his coat and cold clothes stripped off outside. It seemed that the businessman was robbed. Sun Boyang just started I was quite puzzled why no one gave me a hand, but I found out after hearing from the merchant that he was a slave merchant... I can't blame the passers-by for looking at him with contempt.

That guy was not ashamed, he was rescued by Sun Boyang, he was very enthusiastic after being given a suit of clothes and money to go back, and threatened to become brothers with different surnames with Sun Boyang, Sun Boyang also disliked bad luck and didn't agree, that guy said yes Satisfying Sun Boyang's wish is limited to his profession.

Sun Boyang was stupid at the time, do I look like the kind of person who can buy slaves?However, it would be nice to be able to save a person from slavery, so Sun Boyang asked that guy for a strong bodyguard based on his needs, on the premise that it couldn't be snatched.

This guy is in a difficult situation. He said to Sun Boyang that you are too demanding. I really don’t have a hand, but there is a similar one. It is very powerful and very suitable for being a bodyguard, but it is relatively untrained. You have to take it easy. .

Sun Boyang thought that there was nothing he could do without training. This kind of young man who has seen the cruelty of the world is most suitable for awakening into an excellent fighter, but when he was brought to him, Sun Boyang was dumbfounded for the second time.

"Are you perfunctory?" Sun Boyang asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, pointing to the girl led by the slave trader.
