Chapter 150 Let’s Just Kill the Snake

Kaido was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully and felt that what Lu Li said made sense!

Yes, why should I give the country to the waste management of Black Carbon Orochi?

Firstly, he is not the orthodox successor of the Kozuki family and is not recognized by the people of Wano. Secondly, he is not a capable manager. Why did he give the country to such a fool at that time! ?

Kaido thought about it, feeling a little dizzy. He also had doubts about life. He thought about such a simple question, why didn't he understand it before?

He really doesn't care about the life and death of the people, but of course only living people can work for his factory. He also needs the skills of Wano craftsmen to process seastones and make weapons for him. If everyone is dead, technology will It’s been lost, and he still runs a shitty factory.

Therefore, the Black Carbon Orochi is completely a stumbling block on his own path to dominance!

Thinking of this, Kaido's eyes became dangerous, and at the same time he looked at Lu Li with a little more attention, "What you said makes some sense, then, if Wano Country changes to a better direct manager, things will improve. Status quo?"

Lu Li didn't expect Teacher Kai to be so easy to talk to, but thinking about it carefully, Kaido doesn't seem to be a difficult person. Like Yamato, they are both simple guys in nature. If he agrees with your theory, he will nod and won't hide it. Cover up.

Facing Kaido's question, Lu Li shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The Black Carbon Orochi is the cancer of this country, but a country's corruption and regression are not just the fault of one person, but the result of the accumulation of historical factors. "

Maria, who was sitting next to Kaido, looked at Lu Li very seriously at this time. She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. This Lu Li really had two skills and could be called a 'national scholar'

Why didn't they think of this problem about the Black Carbon Orochi before?

If Lu Li knew what Maria was thinking, he would probably be ashamed. With his little knowledge, he was just talking about a lot of things based on experience in history books.

He continued: "The Black Carbon Orochi must be removed, and all the people under him must be replaced, and the existing system of Wano Country must also be reformed. Only in this way can we avoid corruption in a short time, prioritize the food and clothing of the people, and then ensure Delivery of quality labor force.”

He knew that Kaido wouldn't care at all if he told people like Kaido about the people's food, clothing and happiness. All he cared about was whether his labor force would be reduced and whether it would affect his factories and income.

"Reforming the system? It sounds troublesome, but replacing the Black Carbon Orochi is very simple."

Kaido thought.

"As the Governor said, reforming the system is a complicated process. In the short term, we only need to replace Black Carbon Orochi and his henchmen first. Kill them all to frighten a group of lower-level managers. I believe they will do the same within a period of time. Very peaceful.”

Lu Li said, "But as I just said, there are many reasons why Wano has become what it is now. After talking about the corruption of the Black Carbon Orochi Group, let's talk about our Beast Pirates."

"What's our problem? There's no corruption in our group."

Kaido said unhappily that he still has absolute dominance over the Beast Pirates, and most of the members are relatively simple, so he doesn't think it will be like the Black Carbon Orochi Group, at least there will never be any members who don't have enough to eat. abdomen.

"The Governor has misunderstood. I'm not saying there are problems within the Beast Pirates. What I'm talking about is our factories."

Lu Li shook his head and said, he didn't know about other big pirate groups, but the hierarchical structure of the Beast Pirates Group showed that it was carefully designed by the upper-level cadres and they had certain management acumen.

Departments such as Three Disasters, Volley Six Sons, Real Fighters, Givers, and Waiters are like a standardized large company with nested management layers.

Ordinarily, a longer upper-lower structure would easily lead to corruption, but this is a pirate group. People here are either chasing dreams, worshiping Kaido, or chasing freedom. Everyone is linked by the relationship of 'partners' of.

In addition, the pirate group has no worries about food and clothing, and there is no salary system. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no such thing as corruption, but it is probably very small.

"factory?"

Kaido's expression was gloomy. This was his taboo. No matter what Lu Li said next, he would not be able to reform his factory because facts have proven that his factory can bring him high income and promote him as a pirate. The strength of the group is perfect!

"Yes, I asked Yamato. The factories owned by the Beast Pirates mainly include weapons factories, sea stone processing factories, and artificial devil fruit factories. Among them, the weapons factories and artificial devil fruit factories will produce a large amount of waste. These wastes It is extremely polluting and is discharged directly into the river without treatment.”

Lu Li observed Kaido's expression and said, "Not to mention the harm caused by this pollution to farmland and the reduction in food production. After all, the governor can import food to solve the problem, but what about drinking water?"

Kaido originally wanted to interrupt Lu Li and ask him to stop talking about the factory, but when he heard the last sentence, he started thinking again subconsciously.

Seeing Kaido's silence, Lu Li added: "People can survive for a long time without eating, but they will die quickly if they don't drink water. Therefore, the people who live near the river in Wano can only drink. In this way, in addition to hunger, diseases will also be eliminated." It will cause a lot of deaths and a lot of labor loss.”

At this time, Maria spoke up, "Lu Li, what you said is inconsistent with the facts. As far as I know, the rivers in Wano are still relatively clear, and there is no disease problem like you mentioned."

Lu Li was stunned for a moment. He was indeed a bit preconceived when he said this. After all, he only speculated based on Yamato's words and comics. If you think about it carefully, it has only been eight years since the sewage was discharged, and it has not been long since Kaido started his career. There are not many factories, and the river may not be seriously polluted yet.

But he quickly came to his senses and said: "Miss Maria, you have to know that pollution does not happen overnight. The harm caused to the body by long-term drinking of water containing chemical substances is subtle and may not be reflected in adults. It’s not obvious, but it’s hard for children to bear it and they’re more likely to die young.”

Kaido was silent and thinking at this time, leaving all the dialogue to Maria, the 'think tank'

Maria smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether the children die or not. They are not instant labor anyway. As long as adults can work, that's enough."

Lu Li frowned when he heard this, feeling the cruelty of this woman. He thought that he was indeed a pirate, and his brain circuit was different from ordinary people. "Miss Maria, there are two problems in your words. First, adults also grow up from children. Yes, you have paid attention to the population of this country before. You found that after the population dropped, you also realized that the labor force may gradually decrease. Why don't you understand that without children who are growing up, the labor force will become smaller and smaller? "

Maria was unmoved, "But in fact, the labor force required by our factory has always been sufficient and has not been affected by the population decline."

"It seems that you still haven't noticed the key point of the problem. The population has decreased, but the immediate labor force in the factory has not decreased. This means that most of the people who died are children. It is not obvious yet in the short time, but in a few years, the factory labor force will It will drop off a cliff because there will be no more children to grow up.”

Lu Li said, "And the population decline is not only due to the death of children, but also because adults can no longer have children after drinking chemical water. The population decline in these years is just a sign. Once it reaches a critical point, the population will collapse." This is why I said before that this country will no longer be able to function within fifteen years.”

Maria stopped talking this time, but also thought about Lu Li's words. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that Lu Li was right.

She had been negligent before, thinking that the number of people in the factory had not decreased, and that the rough population statistics were inaccurate.

Now that Lu Li said this, she, a person who knew mathematics, had probably done some calculations and foresaw a terrifying future.

Adults cannot give birth to children. This is a more terrifying problem than famine!

Calculated based on an eighteen-year cycle, they have already traveled nearly half of the way. In about ten years, there will be a gap in the age of the people of Wano. After that, the population changes will fall off a cliff. In a few years, their factories may will be affected.

The hegemony that the Beasts Pirates want to achieve requires long-term financial support. Thinking at the worst, this is not even something Kaido’s generation can accomplish. If they finally occupy and operate Wano Country, it will take more than ten or twenty years. If it doesn't work in the next year, it will be a big blow to the Beast Pirates.

"Maria, is he right?"

Kaido was not ashamed to ask. It would be better to say that he had never had any airs in front of his close subordinates.

Maria nodded solemnly, "He is right. This was our previous negligence. We only saw the immediate benefits and did not consider the long term. This problem needs to be solved."

Kaido wasn't quite sure of the seriousness of the matter, but he just felt that since Lu Li said so and Maria was right, he probably needed to make some adjustments, "It's OK to solve the problem, but don't affect the factory's production."

The most important thing in Kaido's mind is his industrial line. As long as it doesn't affect his ability to make money and grow, there will be no problem in managing the environment.

"As long as the Governor and Miss Maria can understand, this problem is actually not difficult to solve."

Lu Li said with a smile, "We only need to open a special river and transport the sewage to a specific treatment point through the river."

The cost of what he said is very high in reality, but it is not difficult in this extraordinary world. There are many ancient ability users in the Beast Pirates, as well as giant legions. If you want to build a new river, it is just a matter of A matter of a day or two.

Kaido even took action himself and was able to split a river with one move, so Lu Li felt that these guys might not have understood the dangers of wastewater pollution before, otherwise they would have dealt with it long ago.

"That's too troublesome. Just put it into the sea. Let the Barbarian do it tomorrow."

Kaido waved his hand, rejecting Lu Li's proposal, and felt that his idea was very smart.

It's no problem to open a river channel, but also to build a wastewater treatment site. Wouldn't that increase his production costs?

Lu Li was a little speechless when he heard this. He thought to himself that it was really 'right' for you to say this in this country. He remembered that there were records in the history of his previous life where he shamelessly discharged nuclear wastewater into the ocean when he was young.

Lu Li wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to trick Kaido into building a waste treatment plant. After all, he was a pirate, and he wanted to talk to him about such a noble topic as protecting the ocean and the world's environment. Kaido Most of them won't listen.

In the final analysis, Kaido only cares about the profits of his factory, and he will not do anything that will increase his costs.

If he wanted to persuade Kaido to further engage in environmental protection, Lu Li felt that he had to have a status like a big billboard in order to persuade him. Now he would be seeking death if he continued to touch Kaido's profit cake.

Helpless, Lu Li could only give up the idea of ​​letting Kaido build a waste treatment plant for the time being, and talk to Yamato first and let Yamato work hard in the future.

"This arrangement is indeed reasonable."

Maria also praised the governor's wit, and looked at Lu Li with her beautiful eyes, "Kaido, I think since we want to replace Kurozumi Orochi, Wano Country will naturally need a new manager. Since Lu Li is so eloquent, why not let him go with Yamato and give it a try?"
