Chapter 1065 Ansheng’s Little Life
No matter what ridiculous ideas are being discussed in the imperial palace thousands of miles away; or there are some shady conspiracies at work in unknown corners of the land, these things cannot stop someone from continuing to live his life. . After all, the sun will not stop rising in the east and setting in the west because of someone's actions or inactions. The whole world works the same way.
In this peaceful little life, Lin took stock of the unfinished tasks at hand.
Help Fen collect the four elemental spirits. Basically, this item is waiting for those temporary good friends in the earth elemental plane to build a giant cross-plane teleportation magic circle, and then the journey can continue. There is no rush, there is no way to rush.
Help the World Trees complete the transformation of the Lost Earth-level magic circle. This part can only be done by the World Tree bosses themselves. There is no rush to take the next step and look for the possibility of the ninth power.
But looking for the Ninth Power is probably something that cannot be avoided as long as he is not dead or completely leaves the Lost Land. After all, I owe a lot to the bosses of Yggdrasil. The pie is too big and beautiful. It’s no longer just a matter of not doing it.
The transformation of the airship Gaussbottom is proceeding in an orderly manner. Because there were so many people involved and their lives and safety were closely related, any partial change could not be made by whatever Lin wanted to do.
It must be explained to the magicians working on the airship. Most people can understand the reason, and then they will agree to the relevant transformation. In comparison, Juan Javier, the captain, is quite incompetent. He is only responsible for constantly coming up with bad ideas, and then exhausting a group of people or a certain person's brain cells.
Automobile manufacturing and R&D centers, like the technical guild, basically no longer need someone to participate in person. After setting up the framework and letting others run it, the next step is to wait for the money.
It's just that the technical guild is managed by someone's follower - Uzov Gantia, so the income is more in line with the actual situation. As the size of the guild grows, so do the benefits.
But the revenue of an auto center is basically what it is at the beginning of its establishment, and it will be roughly what it is after that. Even if the car is sold in full swing, someone's income will not increase. It seems that Lin now occupies not a proportional share in the automobile manufacturing and R&D center, but a consultant with a dead salary. This is completely different from the original agreement!
But even if he knew there was something fishy, Lin didn't intend to go to the auto center and talk to those fussy old fritters. At best, those people were the principals sent by Duke Kawei and the Ruan brothers. It would be beneath his status to argue with them himself. Complaining to their boss would only mean that someone else comes over. Those who have been replaced can still live the same life when they return to their respective families.
The problem is that the servants are thinking about it for the benefit of their own families. They don't have the same concept of the rule of law as the advanced countries on Earth, and Midland doesn't have the kind of feared lawyers. So no matter who it is, as long as Lin doesn't sit in and keep an eye on it, whoever comes will cause trouble.
What if Mr. Kawei and the Ruan brothers were allowed to kill a few people to establish their authority so that they would not dare to be greedy for their own money... Forcing their partners to do such a thing just for a few small amounts of money would probably lead to the friendship established before. I would also suffer from such unreasonable demands.
Therefore, Lin could only hold his nose and admit to such disgusting things. Anyway, I only receive a consultant's salary, so I can feel more at ease not to work in the center, but to be a hard-working mechanical engineer who works on the front line. Even if I am the one with the best technique.
In the early stages of capitalism, wasn't it just about treating employees like beasts? This was how we created batches of industrialists. Even on earth, in modern times, slavery has not been eliminated, it has just been packaged in more fancy ways. Someone who knows this well doesn't want to trick others with his own hands, and he also doesn't want to jump into that pit.
The matter of magic silk is limited by the quantity of materials, so it is impossible to make it big, and no one wants to make it big. Even though the jacquard machine was very labor-intensive and expensive to make, Lin never thought of using it to earn back his capital or even make a profit.
Some things must be limited in quantity to reveal their value. This is the reason why things are rare and valuable. But some things are of the kind that shouldn't exist too much.
In Lin's understanding, magic silk falls into the latter category. Since he took the lead in researching it, there is nothing wrong with it being lost in his own hands. It's okay to use such a precious thing on your own people. When selling to outsiders, no matter what price he sets, Lin feels he will suffer a loss.
Kabamba College, including printing and mathematics, Lin's role gradually faded away. There are still legends about my brother in the world, and that's enough. For oneself, mathematics is just a stepping stone to achieve status in the world; it is not practical for someone to really devote himself to mathematics. Mathematics has always been just a tool, and its true destiny is astrophysics.
The most troublesome, but also the least troublesome, should be the group of children brought back by Ezio.
Juan Javier, who came to someone's home in the Holy City, rarely got up early one spring morning. When he happened to see the children preparing to do morning exercises in the courtyard, he looked at someone who also got up early with a strange expression, until Lin felt uncomfortable all over.
"I said, please don't look at me with such affectionate eyes. Or maybe your sexual orientation has changed in the years since we haven't met." Someone said as if begging for mercy.
"No. I just thought that that incident hurt you. At least it was me. I tried my best to do good things, but it ended up being betrayed. Even if I didn't hate it enough to kill all the people involved, I definitely don’t want to see the faces of those people again. But I didn’t expect that you seemed to be a bad boy and took in another group of children. Are you asking for trouble, or do you have some weird sexual fetishes that are not humane to outsiders? ?" Juan countered without hesitation.
I wanted to reply to Juan by saying it was a joke. However, Lin finally said seriously: "I think the children deserve a chance. This is something that I don't expect in return. The previous group of people responded to me with betrayal, and I am not completely without fault. But the children's Betrayal is not the fault of this group of children, so why should I deprive these children of their opportunity?"
Faced with such seriousness, he also responded with sincerity. Thinking of the past chat, Juan said: "I remember you said at the beginning that you were willing to help the children as much as possible to repay the kindness of your teacher. Looking back now, the kindness you received, It’s not just about being taught magic knowledge.”
Huan pointed out his identity as a visitor from another world, and Lin Weiyou said with a wry smile: "That's right. Think about it, I suddenly came to this world and couldn't even communicate with the most basic people because I don't know how to be fascinated." The language of the land. If I hadn't met that good old man, not to mention gaining knowledge of magic, it wouldn't be surprising even if I was killed as a barbarian. And that good old man didn't want me to repay him, he just hoped that I would have some spare power. When the time comes, I try to help as many people as possible. And I am just fulfilling my original promise."
"It's worth it, that teacher of yours. I've only heard of him who was posthumously conferred the title of Dharma Saint." Juan sighed.
