Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Carnegie’s businessmen’s friendship was quite successful. It seems that they rarely met like this before. After all, it’s meaningless to communicate dryly. No matter how precious the tea is, it’s tiring after drinking it. They just want to go home and go to the toilet.

Moreover, everyone's information sources are different, and many of them don't even know who to ask.

The most important thing is that some things are time-sensitive. It sounds useless now, but later you will find that there are traces before, but you don’t care about it, or you don’t know it at all.

But now it's different.Everyone chatted while playing cards, eating delicious food, not only in a happy mood, but also talking more.Compared with the previous highly purposeful communication, it is more relaxed, the topics are looser, and the scope is wider.

Sometimes the topic spreads out aimlessly, everyone is chatting, and you can also get useful information from words that are useless to others, or you didn’t realize it before, but suddenly found something wrong during the chat some type of.

No way, it was too boring to just exchange information in the past, I couldn’t sit still, but now I don’t seem to feel the passage of time, when I finally get tired, I sorted out the information I got today in my mind, they were also shocked, and they communicated with each other After a moment of impressions.

Listening to the alarm clock's report, Lucifer was simply amazed.

He is really convinced, dare you guys didn't even have a chance to chat before, so you really just talked about the main points in a concise manner...

In short, although Lucifer is very speechless, today this group of people talked too speculatively, everyone discussed it, and simply set up a chamber of commerce on the spot, and designated the Apple Store as a meeting place. Just chat casually, maybe you can get some useful information.

Lucifer has no objection to this behavior of sending money.

However, their gathering this time also brought about a sequelae, that is...the church that got the news finally knew that he was going to build a steam car, and came to have direct contact with him.

The person who came was Bishop Gregory who was in charge of the review a while ago, and he was considered the most prestigious person in the Garden of Eden.In fact, he is indeed upright and strict with himself. Even if there is no divine punishment, he will be a good person who cannot be picky.

He came when Lucifer was about to close, followed behind him, and the clerk who was not good at math and gave up doing Sudoku directly.

Of course, Lucifer would not shut them out, rather, this is also a good opportunity for them to speak up, so as to avoid thunderstorms later and hinder him.

Bishop Gregory followed the angel's will carefully, and even the parties did not keep the information from the angel.Even though this sage is the one that angels pay attention to, his attitude is the same as before, and he doesn't look at the angel's face at all, because he feels that he is helping the vulnerable groups in the Garden of Eden, and there is no reason for him to give up serving these people. Resist, and believe that even if God sees it, he will approve of his actions.

"I heard that you intend to promote steam power into practical use."

Lucifer was also unambiguous, and replied: "Yes, I think this is a good thing."

Bishop Gregory immediately asked, "Is steam power only intended to be used in transportation?"

"...No, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible." Lucifer loses his temper, "Of course, we must use it in all industries that can be used, and vigorously support steam power instead of manpower, so as to liberate productivity and let people focus on somewhere else."

Bishop Gregory frowned in disapproval: "But, machines can replace manpower, what should these unemployed people do? I heard that you seem to support the improvement of textile machines, but you may not know how many textile workers there are in the Garden of Eden. What are the consequences of rash improvements—"

Lucifer raised his forehead.

He thought he was mentally prepared, but when he heard these words, he still had phantom pains in his stomach.

If in the past he could still yell at this group of people for their short-sightedness and frogs in a well, now that he thinks about it, how did these people become leaders, and even dominate the development of the city?Oh, because I spread knowledge back then, the predecessors of the church are all my students...

This tm is very embarrassing, I don't even want to say anything.

But what should be said still has to be said, after all, this is also a sin of his own making.

"It's you who don't know." Lucifer said bluntly, "Once the weaving machine is improved, the output will be greatly increased, and the price will naturally drop. Those families who spend time weaving by themselves in order to save money can Use your time elsewhere, maybe you can do something else to subsidize your family."

"So what if the output is high? The market is so big, do we have to resign so many because of the unsalable cloth—"

"Who says it can't be sold? You can sell it elsewhere. Compared with those inefficient factories, the products produced by our Garden of Eden are of high quality and low price, and you can definitely sell them."

"Transportation costs—"

"There are steam-powered cars."

"...???"

Bishop Gregory actually thought it made sense, but he soon realized that dealing with surplus textiles was not the point, but the unemployed.

After all, unemployment is related to the social stability of Eden, and he cannot agree without a solution.

"And what are you going to do with the mass of unemployed people?"

"If you're unemployed, go create new jobs." Lucifer said blankly, "Steam-powered cars, for example, need people to drive them, they need people to maintain them regularly, they need people to sell tickets and check tickets, and the printing industry can also have new business. ;For example, Galileo's family improved coffee beans, and they needed human help to process the beans. At the same time, because the sales of coffee beans are destined to increase, new hands are needed to collect coffee beans..."

He began to paint a pie for Bishop Gregory.

Have you ever drank milk?Oh, I seldom drink it, because the ranch is far away and it is easy to spoil?That's easy to handle. When the steam-powered vehicles are opened, it will take less than an hour to go back and forth to the pasture. The milk consumption in Eden will rise sharply. The dairy cows will definitely need more people to feed and milk the cows, right?This solves the work of some people.

Is sugar expensive?Because the Tower of Babel, which is rich in sugar cane, is too far away.But after the opening of the car, the transportation cost will be greatly reduced. At that time, sugar will not be a luxury. Everyone can eat sugar, and even use sugar as a raw material to make a lot of things. It is a new job, and this is not more Is it in line with God's idea that all people are equal?

Do you know Carnegie?Yes, that’s him. He recently plans to build a production line for cans that can preserve food for a long time. People need to handle the food as the contents, and people need to check whether the cans are sealed and airtight. This is an energy-consuming and important task. Son, it is impossible to recruit only a few people. If it can be sold to other places, more manpower will be needed, and the work of a group of people will be solved.

I have some seeds here. Since you said that many people will be unemployed, you are not afraid that there will be no one. It is better to reclaim the land outside if you can’t find a job, and try to plant corn, maple trees and the like. They are very practical, and you can go out to the field after planting too much, so you don't have to worry about rotting in the ground.

By the way, since we want to develop steam power, we must build more steam engines as the basis, and the steel factory will also come to work. If there is a shortage of people, come to recruit workers...

……

…………

"As long as people have needs, there will never be a lack of jobs, and creativity is also the key." Lucifer concluded, "Don't let this go, while worrying that there are too few jobs...why there are so few, you should reflect on it. "

For some reason, Lucifer unexpectedly discovered that he was very good at explaining things in detail, for fear that the other party would not understand, and the elementary school teachers were not as thoughtful as he was.

Thinking about it carefully, it might be that when he enlightened human beings, he wasted all his efforts to make those innocent human beings understand. After all, human beings in that era were more ignorant than elementary school students. Preschool education... I really can't imagine how I explained it, wouldn't it be just gestures and explanations?

The archangel's style is gone!

[...No, it should be consciousness instillation... but consciousness instillation can't guarantee that they can understand, because it just stuffs the knowledge into it simply and rudely, so it is necessary to explain it, and it may be necessary to demonstrate it in person——]

"Stop talking, I don't want to know."

Bishop Gregory listened to Lucifer's painting for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more his heart became more and more moved.

In particular, the statement "God also wants everyone to be equal, but people in the Tower of Babel can eat sugar freely, but sugar is so expensive in the Garden of Eden, which obviously does not conform to God's wishes, and road construction is necessary", which deeply moved me. he.

"As expected of a great sage." Bishop Gregory uttered this title for the first time today. "For so long, no one has considered this issue. We are wrong! No one has ever considered God's will. Know better than you!"

In order to increase persuasiveness, Lucifer who likes him: "..."

In the end, what really convinced Bishop Gregory turned out to be "I don't want you to think, I want God to think"? ? ?

Sure enough, only magic can defeat magic!

Lucifer, who ran away from home, was in a very complicated mood. He didn't expect that he would come out to start a career, and in the end he would be blessed by God the Father.

But forget it, being able to persuade is a good thing.

"So, the church won't stop the development and use of steam cars?"

Bishop Gregory nodded: "Yes, since you have planned so many new positions in the future, the church naturally has no reason to stop... Well, after I go back, I think we need to hold a meeting. did something wrong."

Unemployment is actually not terrible. What is terrible is that there are no new jobs and the whole society has no vitality.

There are so many people in the Garden of Eden, and it has been taken for granted for so long that it will cause a lot of unemployment. Even the people who improve the textile machine can't find a reason to convince the church, but this great sage who is favored by the angels can casually report a There are a lot of jobs and new industries that I have never heard of.

Otherwise, why did the angels let them listen to the great sage?I'm disappointed in them.

No matter what the great sage wants to do in the future, he will fully support it on behalf of the church.Although he made a lot of stupid mistakes, his IQ is still online. He can see that the great sage obviously has a mature enough idea of ​​the development of the world, and he just picked a few points to explain to him.

Bishop Gregory looked at the golden eyes of the great sage and thought to himself.

What kind of future do these eyes want to see?

I really want to see it.
