CIATB Chapter 1460 Goodwill?
Chapter 1460 Goodwill?
Chapter 1460 Goodwill?
Disasters often come quickly and violently. The suddenness that violently disrupts all routines is the most unbearable pain for people.
But this world was a little different from the very beginning.
"War? Plague? Natural disaster? Uh, is there? Isn't it always like this?"
Sometimes, this kind of sudden realization makes people feel helpless.
But in the capital of the new country, whether it is the busy workers on the road or the ordinary vendors in the streets and alleys, there is overflowing vitality.
The smile, the quick pace, and the optimistic tone.
Lu Pingan could see this spirit and expectation that life would get better and better.
"Did we do it right?"
Lu Ping'an picked up an apple from a roadside vendor, wiped it, and took a bite.
It's quite subtle. Cheap goods don't come in good quality. It seems to be the product of a failed transplant. It tastes sour and even a little bitter, but there is also a hint of sweetness.
However, for the people in this world, it is already a rare treasure.
".Uh, want it?"
A little kid standing next to the stall looked at Lu Ping'an with a sad face.
Even with the participation of the "God of Magic Plants", the output of fruits and vegetables in this world has increased a thousand times and the prices have been greatly reduced, but it is still a luxury.
"Uncle! I want it."
The child from the long-arm tribe nodded repeatedly, extremely excited.
"I want it. I won't give it to you even if I want it!"
Lu Ping'an happily finished crunching the food, even though he still felt it wasn't tasty at all.
Haha, who is the uncle? Cough, this is to teach the little boy to be self-reliant and not always rely on others.
"Waaaaa, Yaya wants to eat the apple, bad uncle." Immediately, the little guy rolled on the ground.
Uh, is it a girl? Well, girls should be more careful and not be fooled by a small apple. Even if it is not a bait to lure you into a small dark room, if you take someone else's food casually, there may be something messy inside.
"I feel relieved to see that you are still talking nonsense as usual."
Xia Qin walked over with a tired look on her face, took out money, got a bag of apples, and gave them to the crying little girl.
"Thank you, sister! You are so beautiful!"
With food to eat, the little girl became happy instantly.
Uncle? Sister? Looking at the little girl hiding behind Xia Qin and making faces, Lu Ping'an made a face back at her in anger.
"You're an adult, and you're still arguing with a child." Seeing that Lu Ping'an was still being naughty, Xia Qin said unhappily.
"Tsk, I just became an adult. In a few months, this child might be taller than me."
Lu Ping'an was not being stubborn, he was stating the fact. The long-armed people in this world still had the special effect of "rapid growth", and there were many examples of those "eight years old" actually being older than thirty humans.
".If possible, it's best not to live like this again."
"Impossible. The best-selling item among the Level 0 banned items right now is the 'Fruit of Growth'. Childhood is too much of a luxury for the residents of this world and for the front lines that constantly need to fill the line."
The Fruit of Growth was originally a special product of that decade. It was an official plug-in given by the world consciousness to local ethnic groups such as the Long-Handed Tribe.
It can speed up the growth of these ethnic groups, allowing them to quickly reach adulthood and give birth to offspring. With the blessing of some rules, the number of local long-handed people and other ethnic groups has increased many times in recent years. The exact number cannot be counted because a census is simply unrealistic, but a conservative estimate is more than ten times.
After "ten years", this special species that embodies the "principles of the world" should have died out, but as a result of the disappearance of world consciousness, it became a "treasure".
Of course, it declined naturally, but at this time, a god and the local high-level gardeners stepped forward and finally succeeded in turning these wild treasures into "time fruits" that can be mass-produced.
The only problem is that its performance may not be as good as the previous 11, but as long as the quantity is sufficient, this is not a problem.
"It seems that someone suggested banning this fruit?"
"It's impossible to pass it. On the one hand, there is demand, and on the other hand, if it is really banned, the locals will rebel first."
For local long-handed families, even if they are monogamous, the pregnancy period can be greatly shortened with the blessing of the special fruit, and the family may have more than a dozen people, including adults and children.
If they were all children, two adult workers would have to support more than a dozen people? This is unrealistic no matter how you think about it. In fact, most families give birth to children crazily just to have more labor and more opportunities to get rich.
At worst, a newborn can become a fisherman, farmer, or worker. But if a high-quality talent emerges and becomes a high-level professional, official, master craftsman, etc., the whole family may be happy.
Especially after Lu Ping'an's "Courtyard" began to mass-produce professionals, such large-scale lotteries would become more realistic.
When "having children" and "raising children quickly" become the way to get rich, who can stop them?
".It cannot be stopped. This city, this race, this country, this world, all need more human resources."
While walking around Xia Qin, lifting the girl and rubbing her cheek, Lu Ping'an gave a realistic and cruel response.
No one can really jump out of the times.
". However, we are also introducing some new policies, otherwise you won't see this 'child'. Even if it may be called hypocrisy, we are indeed gradually changing the world."
Seeing that Xia Qin still didn't understand, Lu Ping'an explained.
"There are minimum childhoods and maximum work hours, and similar systems."
The minimum childhood system requires that an infant must have at least two years of childhood from the time he or she grows up, during which time he or she can only work as a low-paid child laborer.
In other worlds, this evil law, which would be punishable by execution countless times, is actually a remarkable progress.
"Isn't it because development needs to be accumulated? In order to be a high-quality potential talent or labor force, it is necessary to let them stay in multiple stages of childhood for a period of time?"
"Uh, don't tell anyone else. I made up about half of this."
From the perspective of road safety, forced intervention and legislation are indeed possible, but if it is excessive, it will not only be ineffective, but will also lead to backlash.
He can only follow the trend of the times, understand the needs of the general public, and provide some guidance.
Ten years of facts have proved that half a year of childhood is enough, and many children do not even have this number. Two years can indeed raise the upper limit, but it is more about giving them a relatively sufficient "childhood" to make their minds more mature.
Even so, there are still a large number of parents who shorten their childhood. If the regulations further increase the age limit, they will naturally become worthless.
In a sense, this is indeed the same as the 12-hour work system. The claim is that a good rest can lead to longer work. Only by stating the benefits can this kind of "good" law be promoted.
Internally, Lu Ping'an convinced others by saying "the more mature the mind, the more difficult/diverse the experiences", that the talents and abilities awakened by professionals are likely to be stronger, or at least more diverse.
He was telling the truth as always, but he himself was not sure how effective it would be or whether it was cost-effective.
But judging from the results, at least everyone accepts it now.
"At least let these 'children' know why they are fighting. If their hearts are empty, they may lose control in a moment."
