Chapter 1002 Efforts Are Useless, Inaction Is Blessed
The character Zhao Wenrui replaced was called Gallon, who was named Grandet with the appearance of a butcher.
Garen has a thin bloodline of giants. Compared with ordinary people, he is much taller and burlier. He is fat, fat, muscular, and fleshy all over his body. He looks savage and stupid on the outside, but he is actually shrewd and cunning.
He made good use of his external image and made a living by lending and collecting rent in a semi-coaxing manner (the other half stems from the target's own greed and desire to take advantage).
Of course, his tricks at this level are always the same, that is, bullying and bullying slaves who don't know a lot of characters. They can't be eaten in the public circle, and the lending business in the public circle is not up to him. Get involved.
The affairs bureau under the authority of the dignitaries would be more than happy to have Garen become a consumer, charge a large amount of money, and then pay various fees that are much higher than ordinary people, in exchange for temporary citizenship rights, including settling down in a public community.
But Gallon had his own little calculations. The money he earned was basically invested in his career, lending money, or buying a house and renting it out.
Therefore, in addition to the fact that the career he has done cannot be washed away, in terms of diligence and housekeeping, he is better than many slaves who are just getting by.
After Zhao Wenrui learned about this, he sighed a little. Stealing and stealing does not mean wealth, but only represents a windfall and the corresponding risks. What really makes people rich depends on the management and the quality related to the management.
Naturally, Zhao Wenrui compared himself with Garen.
Suddenly found that he really might not be much better than others.
Even the kindness that seems to be the most capable of taking action, look at the things he did in Qiaomen, anger, massacre, the virtues accumulated in the past, all lost overnight, even negative debts, are not enough. nothing wrong.
After all, compared with the native Garen, he definitely knows the law and breaks the law. This law naturally refers to the self-moral yardstick established on the basis of his understanding of everything.
Garen's lack of integrity and shame was formed under the influence of the background of the times and the social environment. It can even be said that the reason why other slaves and people did not become people like Garen was not because he was more moral than Garen, but because of the conditions. does not have.
After all, in many cases, the path of life seems to be chosen by oneself, but in fact it is driven out step by step. The so-called choice is just the one that seems better under the environment and mentality at that time, not to mention whether it is true or not. Well, the invisible restriction alone determines that the degree of freedom is far from as high as imagined.
Therefore, the so-called choice, in many cases, actually has the taste of cause and effect. Along the way, how the road behind you walk often determines what kind of category you choose for the road ahead.
As for him, compared with Garen, his conditions in all aspects are not a bit better. Under such circumstances, who is more despicable compared with Garen is a kind of operation in which the rich and the beggar compare who is richer. What's more, he may not win yet.
It is also through the suffering of others to satisfy his own needs. He caused nearly a hundred families to lose their relatives and put them in vain, which may not be more benevolent than Garen's usury exploitation.
So Zhao Wenrui is not in a good mood these days, not to mention guilt, he just feels that he is not a thing, and then he is decadent and dazed with a certain amount of self-loathing.
In the absence of sufficient external stimulation, he fell into a state of sluggishness like a young man, with philosophical problems in his head, not knowing what he wanted,
As for the goals of the past, it seems dull and boring now.
Waking up again from the entanglement of limbs, Zhao Wenrui pulled the sleeping woman who was crawling on her body aside, and jumped down to the ground. The bed board rebounded obviously and trembled violently.
But even so, it couldn't wake up the four women sleeping soundly on the bed.
Garen's typical mating ability is directly proportional to the tonnage, and because the tonnage is indeed special, many actions are taboo. Even so, if you want to have fun, you have to have more than one, otherwise it is tantamount to abuse or even killing.
Interestingly, perhaps because of the immoral industry in which they work, no one has ever been able to conceive Garen's child.
Garen once thought that his blood was too strong, and that a woman with similar blood was needed to inherit his seed and breed him.
But after several tossings, he finally figured out that the reason for his feelings was that his blood was unnaturally activated by a magical accident, so he became a mule-like existence and was born unable to reproduce.
That's why Garen has a nickname, the Giant Mule, and he has gradually become abnormal because of this. From spending time in the skin and meat business, he has gradually turned to borrowing usury to demand money and debts. Typical psychological distortion, he has a disability , Let other people feel stuffy too.
In Zhao Wenrui's view, this is not the most perverted thing. The most perverted thing is Gallon's twisted operation, which successfully seduced a group of wild bees and butterflies. If there is no gold so expensive that you can even pay back the principal if you have a good time), why not do it? Anyway, the reputation has been lost.
From Zhao Wenrui's point of view, this is a manifestation of the smog in this world. In fact, he is very clear that his hometown, the earth, has no shame in this respect, but he was not so wild back then that he crossed various circles. Fooling around, I didn't see it, so I pretended it didn't exist, in order to keep as much beauty as possible in my heart.
But the most difficult thing to deceive is one's own heart. He clearly has none of the self-deception per se of the messengers of this world. The result is becoming more and more decadent, and I feel that life is really good or bad, and there is no such concept that one must be good.
So since the positive energy is a lifetime, and the reckless and dead gangsters are also a lifetime, why not choose the latter? Although the latter is not necessarily easier than the former, it is just a different form of expression. But at least it is more in line with the nature of people who like the new and dislike the old, love leisure and hate work. It is nothing more than gambling luck at critical moments. It seems unreliable, but adults know that hard work will definitely pay off. There are many examples where the rewards are not proportional to the rewards...
From a certain point of view, this is actually looking for reasons to be lazy.
But from C Kane's point of view, Zhao Wenrui's luck is really good, and he can even step on a little bit of laziness.
During this period of time, Hejian City is actually tighter on the outside and tighter on the inside, and everyone in the entire area is being watched to death. But Zhao Wenrui didn't know about it.
If Zhao Wenrui still maintains his previous thinking habits, practicing military positions, or operating his related industries, then it is almost inevitable that he will be discovered.
At that time, even if the officials of Hejian City will not act rashly, they will definitely grasp all kinds of information about him little by little. Once they really do it, they will attack directly with three sharp axes, leaving Zhao Wenrui without the slightest chance.
However, Zhao Wenrui has been suppressed for too long, and lacks enough profound lessons to maintain his motivation, so he plays "big jokes" there, idles around all day, eats and waits to die.
In this way, it can be said that there is no flaw at all.
Now, it is the Hejian City officials who are in pain. After all, although the targeted area is only in the early 200s, it is man-to-man.
Burning money is not counted, as time goes by, there will be various doubts, just give up and not reconciled, a dilemma, very depressed.
Zhao Wenrui is not depressed, he is worthy of the title of "lucky little prince" in terms of the characters in the entire Kane family. It is clear that Kane is facing the suspicion of reverse cheating no matter which world he is in. It is obviously a crisis of all kinds Surrounding, obviously without paying any great price or effort, but always able to save the day by accident, so that he has the opportunity to indulge in his set of thoughts of Wenqing who moaned without illness.
After getting up and washing, he went out, wearing only cotton underwear and a thick linen coat.
This kind of clothing, not to mention winter, even in Holden in autumn, would be too flimsy, but Gallon has the blood of a giant, and after being fat and fat, he is far more resistant to cold than ordinary people.
His breathing is also heavier than ordinary people. Every time he exhales, it is like the whistle of a steam locomotive. A puff of white air is blown out, which lasts for several seconds.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, the sky was covered with broken snow, and the ground was full of snow. Even in the urban area, the biting cold wind still howled.
Zhao Wenrui looked far away, and the most striking thing was the long bridge.
Some people say that Hejian City is an unsinkable ship, but Zhao Wenrui prefers to understand it as a super-large bridge pier. The main reason is that the bridge in Hejian City is the most distinctive.
The existence and wide application of magic has created wonders in all walks of life that are enough to amaze people on the modern earth.
For example, the super bridge in Hejian City, which is more than one kilometer wide, can definitely be considered a miracle even in the eyes of a well-informed person like him.
The bridge is more than three kilometers long and has a stone structure. Except for the central part vertically connecting Hejian City and the two ends, there are no other load-bearing objects.
There are many buildings on the bridge, and the total weight is definitely hundreds of millions of tons. Such a project is absolutely impossible for modern earthlings. Not to mention stone building materials, even steel cannot bear such a weight.
The entire Hejian City is divided into four large areas. The stern is the parish, also known as the giant tower area, because its overall shape is like the legendary giant tower reaching the sky. It rises more than 500 meters, not only high, but also thick enough From a distance, it looks like the existence of colonnades. In fact, none of them are column-shaped buildings. The building constitutes the giant tower area.
It is said that each floor is the parish of a righteous god, and the topmost building is shared. As for the parish of the god of the underworld, it is underground, which is the real base of the entire parish.
Between the giant tower area and the central area, it is called the upper city.
The dignitaries of Hejian City live there, and it also includes functional facilities such as the listing and the upper square.
The central area does not live in people, but serves as a transportation hub and a greenhouse-style planting area.
The planting area with low-grade arcane garden characteristics can meet 80% of the food needs of Hejian City.
Of course, this is just a theory, in fact it can only meet 30%, and the remaining 50% of the grain output is used to raise livestock or make wine, and these are naturally not prepared for the poor.
The real public area is on the bridge with a width of 1 and a length of 3 (approximately, kilometers). In Zhao Wenrui's eyes, the scenery there is even better than that of Victorian England in his perception, because There is a dress code, and there are no people in rags on the road, let alone beggars. As far as he knows, begging there will really be beaten to death.
To the north of the central area is the dock area, or comprehensive area, because there are many functional facilities such as a market here, Zhao Wenrui's destination is here.
Further north, the part of the bow is the Nuzhong District.
Although it is on an island, it is more like a mountain city. All kinds of illegal buildings and dilapidated houses are built according to the mountain. Standing on the bridge, it is colorful and unique, but once you enter, it is completely dirty and chaotic. The Lord felt it.
Gallon is the richest man in this area. He lives in the Peak District. An apartment is his private property, and he has carved out a mouse nest of about 3 square meters per person in the interior for rent collection.
Of course, in this world, there are basically no people who are easy to bully, so there are policies above and countermeasures below.
With the continuous natural washing, more than half of the renters here are letter sellers.
Although these people are of low status, because of the nature of their work, it is easier to achieve the effect of keeping together for heating. They insist on connecting independent residents into a big shop, so as to make better use of the space.
Of course, there are all sorts of nonsense parents within them, such as creeping ashes, stealing men, intrigues, etc., but under the name of Garen, they are a whole.
As for Garen, as long as he didn't touch the bottom line, he would try his best to turn a blind eye. After all, letter sellers were skilled workers among the slaves, and they had more credibility. Rent arrears were not serious, so they were also good lenders.
For a veteran lender like Garen, who is not too ambitious, killing people is not what he wants. The ideal state is to make the goal a money-making machine with stable output, so there is a delicate balance between the two sides.
There are pros and cons to living on top of a mountain. Disadvantages are hard to come by.
Roads are slippery in rainy days and slippery in snowy days.
Poverty does not equal kindness, and poverty does not equal hard work.
In Zhao Wenrui's eyes, the slaves in Hejian City are a bit like the black New Yorkers in the lighthouse country he knows. Even those who are motivated have managed to escape from this level and circle. On the contrary, those who have fallen from the public circle to the slave circle are mostly those who regard themselves as demons, and there are only a handful of truly pitiful ones.
Take this snowfall as an example, in the huge Xiacheng District (the name of Nuzhong District), it is hard to find anyone who is willing to go out to shovel snow.
What he was talking about was not learning to shovel snow voluntarily, but sweeping the snow in front of the door.
He would rather wait for the snow to crush the house than shovel the snow off the roof and in front of the house. He feels that this is no longer a question of laziness, but a question of IQ about whether to count or not.
'Boom! Boom! '
Zhao Wenrui strode forward, with every step splashing a few snowflakes. With a height of more than 2.5 meters and a weight of nearly 430 pounds, he is like a humanoid heavy truck. It is difficult to slip when walking only by the tonnage.
Although the winding road with many steps and small slopes is difficult after snowfall, it looks like a man-made trap, but he can walk on the ground as if on the ground.
While walking, he still thought sarcastically: "Be lazy, let's see who can be tricked!?"
Because he could feel that, not behind the closed door, there were one or more pairs of eyes looking at him hoping that something would happen to him.
Zhao Wenrui undoubtedly won this round, and there was no way he would lose in the next round. He is a Druid, and he stomped forward on any terrain except magic traps, just pretending.
Spicy spirits, stewed meat and grilled chicken, for Zhao Wenrui, a new day of getting drunk has begun again...
