Lide still remembered that in his last life, he asked his mother what the ultimate form of society should look like. At that time, the woman who still looked very young did not answer, but confiscated Lide's pocket money with a smile, then prepared a small schoolbag for him, disguised an identity for him, and kicked him to the construction site to move. Brick went.
"If you don't earn enough money, you are not allowed to go home~"
The sun was out and the air was so hot that people had to take off their clothes to work. But once facing the loess and back to the sky, the back will soon become hot and allergic, covered with dense red rashes. After the rash breaks, the skin turns purple and slowly develops a hard callus.
The skin on the hands was quickly worn out, the nails were full of cracks, and the dirt between the fingers was full of dirt that could not be washed off. At first Lide didn’t quite understand why he came to do these jobs until one night, while he was exercising his muscles and bones, he was sitting on the concrete floor looking at the moon. An uncle with a beard was sitting next to him, and he took out a cigarette and handed it to him:
"One?"
Lid shook his head:
"Need not."
The man lighted himself a cigarette comfortably, smoked it with gusto, and said to Lid:
"Why do you let a half-grown doll like you come out to do this kind of work, what about your family?"
Lid thought for a while and replied:
"My mother rarely cares about me. My father occasionally teaches me something, but he rarely cares about me."
The man nodded and said:
"What's the matter. Manly man, work hard to earn money in an upright manner. It is not shameful. I think you are strong enough and serious in doing things. You will be able to save a lot of money soon. If you want to, stay here and continue working. If you don't want to It’s good to do some other business. The world is good, and there will always be a way to survive.”
Lid nodded. The man finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, and his tone was a little more emotional:
"We have caught up with a good time. As long as we work hard, there are always jobs we can do. Like me, there are two children at home, one is seven years old and the other is five years old. My wife has a bad waist and has been unable to sit down. Bed, I can only rely on me to work outside alone, earn some money to support the family. But when I go back every day, seeing the children at home grow up happily, the satisfaction of being a father arises spontaneously.”
When talking about this, the man's eyes were full of hopeful light.
The man said intermittently:
"Our family doesn't have much money, but there are not many places to spend it. Medical treatment is very cheap, and the main expenditure is the children's tuition. When they grow up, they will definitely be successful, at least much better than me... Every time I think of this, I seem to have more strength to work. Damn, people, living a lifetime, isn’t it just for the house, car tickets, wife and children? You too, don’t be too discouraged, the forest is so big, there are always some parents who are not good birds , but we can roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves."
The man lit another cigarette, pointed to the other workers on the night shift, and said:
"Everyone has their own story, but everyone is living a good life. I see that you often sit here and look at the moon. If you have something on your mind, don't always hide it. Talk to someone later. It doesn't matter if you lack money or something. , everyone gathers together, there is always something.”
Lid smiled and thanked.
His physical fitness is quite good, even for simple tasks such as moving bricks, he is more efficient than others. It didn't take long for him to become fully acquainted with the people around him, listen to their stories, and return to his old family after earning enough money.
The young-looking woman was sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating potato chips. There was a thick stack of documents on the table. After Lide came in, he smiled and asked:
"understand?"
Lid nodded and said:
"understood."
The woman touched his dusty head affectionately and asked:
"Tell me."
Lide told her what he had seen, heard and felt.
The first is to let everyone see hope, and let everyone have a future within reach. If they can change their destiny through their own struggle, even if this change may take several generations to bear fruit. Secondly, we must pay attention to medical care and education, so that everyone can afford to see a doctor and go to school...
The woman listened silently, did not refute, just asked with a smile:
"Then how do you think this is achieved? The gap between the rich and the poor in society will always become wider and wider, and class solidification is inevitable. When a small number of people control most of the wealth and the way to create wealth, they will You will start to do whatever you want. For example, at the construction site you went to, wage arrears or even the contractor may run away. When life is no longer stable and hopeful, people will become irritable under pressure. At that time, what you see What you get is definitely not such a harmonious and beautiful picture, but the people at the bottom cannibalize people."
Lid was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. He can calculate many complicated formulas, but he still doesn't know how to solve problems like this involving various complicated subjects.
He was less than ten years old that year.
The woman smiled and stuffed potato chips into his arms, then put on her military cap in front of him.
Her voice turned cold in an instant, and her blue eyes became brighter in the shadows:
"It's actually very simple. The beautiful things you see exist because your mother and I are sitting here. Any system will have drawbacks and gaps, so one needs to constantly fix those problems and reduce the entropy of society Value. This person must be absolutely fair, must always remain sober, and must be as cold and correct as a machine. Let the people below come up, let the people above go down, and keep the society in a clear state... This kind of thing is to see Blood, you can't look at it from the perspective of rules, you have to treat it as a war."
The woman took off her military cap and returned to a soft smile, just like an ordinary mother:
"You don't need to think about these things for the time being, although you will have to face these problems one day. But maybe you have your own solution by then... There is not only one way to the future, think about it from another angle Thinking, since it is human beings as a whole that are worthy of love, as long as there are human beings alive, it doesn’t matter how many wars and destructions.”
The little boy always remembers the conversation that day.
The 300,000 disaster victims in Tianyue Mountain died, and he didn't bother to care about it. The people of Yunyang died in great pain in the civil war, and his reaction was calm. Karpass led the eastern frontier army into a desperate fight, and Lide did not hesitate to label him as a fame-seeker.
But in fact, Lid would also feel sad for the death of the unknown succubus, and feel sorry for the bottle and the bottle's biological mother.
Because in his eyes, 10,000 people living in a daze are not as great as a person dying with a clear mind.
If this war can be exchanged for an opportunity for the people to awaken through huge sacrifices, then everything is worth it.
After paying homage to the dead, Lide distributed the rewards for this battle, presided over the reconstruction of Lingyun City, and announced various rules and regulations for the new territory. After everything was ready, he went to the lord's mansion and met the lord Yunyang who had been waiting for a long time.
