Master of Thermodynamics

Hearing the words "hang him", the brawny man's eyes showed great horror, he yelled, and turned his head to escape.

Gonzalez sneered and waved his right hand sharply.

"Whizzing!"

Four water arrows condensed from seawater flew out from the sea below the city wall, slammed into them, and instantly penetrated the joints of the brawny's limbs.

The strong man fell to the ground and wailed loudly.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of me!"

Two sailors, strong like violent bears, squeezed into the crowd while berating the refugees, dragging the strong man out like a dead dog.

Then, in the eyes of a large, silent, a log was erected high, a rope was wrapped around the burly man's neck, and he was hung up.

"Ho ho... **** ho..."

The brawny man showed pain on his face, his body was constantly twisting, which on the contrary made the rope tightening his neck tighter and tighter.

The yellow liquid leaked from his crotch area, and a stench spread.

After 1 minute, the strong man stopped struggling and hung motionless on the log.

Although he is dead, his eyes are still open and his mouth is wide open, as if accusing him of atrocities.

Gonzalez retracted his gaze from the corpse, frowned in disgust, and indifferently ordered:

"Arrange for the refugees to continue boarding..."

The officer replied respectfully and began to shout again.

This time, everyone was very cooperative.

The named refugees boarded the ship honestly, while the refugees who were not named stood still, and the refugees who boarded the kayaks stayed quietly in their place, not daring to move or whisper.

The death of the brawny made the refugees deeply aware that this group of sea tide soldiers paid great attention to maintaining order, and anyone who dared to challenge the rules and regulations would be severely punished.

...

In fact, Renault has always been upholding the core purpose-order.

He hopes to rebuild the social order of the human world according to his own will to make it more in line with the industrialized production model.

Renault's two powerful institutions, the army and the government affairs office, the former used violence to destroy the old order, and the latter used economy and law as tools to promote the new order.

Kindness has never been his goal.

It's just part of the new order, which happens to be beneficial to the low-level civilians. This makes people mistakenly think that Lord Lord is an extremely benevolent crown.

For example, the minimum wage.

In order for the industrialized social model to operate smoothly, a balance must be reached at both ends of "production-consumption".

In other words, the market should consume as many commodities as the factory produces.

If the balance is broken, for example, if production is less than consumption, it will lead to a shortage of goods; if production is greater than consumption, an economic crisis will occur.

The popularity of magic technology has caused the explosive growth of Hai Chao Ling's productivity. In order to maintain a balance, consumption must keep up.

Only relying on nobles and merchants who accounted for less than 0.5% of the total population, it is impossible to consume so many commodities in any case. A large number of civilians must participate in this game.

Therefore, Renault has forcibly established a "minimum wage standard", through mandatory means, to ensure the income level of civilians, so that they have a certain spending power.

In Master Lei's basic board-Hai Chao Ling, the minimum wage standard has long been fully implemented.

In addition, he uses high-welfare methods, such as issuing various subsidies, to further increase the income of the people.

He also vigorously encourages childbirth through "birth subsidies" and "free education" in order to cultivate more "new leeks" and increase consumption potential.

In the Thousand Lakes Republic, factories under the Haichao Chamber of Commerce and a large number of related factories, as well as some developed areas, have begun to implement the minimum wage standard.

As Renault continues to eliminate dissidents and gains greater control over the Republic, the scope of enforcement of this law will gradually expand until it reaches the entire country.

And all of the above, in the eyes of the commoners, has become a clear proof of Master Lei's "kindness".

In fact, this is really just a coincidence.

...

Oberma was sitting on a rickety kayak, looking at the huge battleship as large as a mountain, moored on the sea in the distance, her mouth opened wide.

"Oh my God……"

He has lived for more than 20 years and is the first time he has seen such a huge ship.

Oberma's companion, Trunk, reacted in the opposite direction. He stared at the battleship obsessively, saying something in his mouth:

"...Oh, this is the catamaran of the Southern Fleet... No sails can be seen on the deck. This must be the magic power battleship mentioned in "Tide Current Events"..."

These two hapless guys are not residents of Hilton Town, but small merchants wandering around in various villages.

The two came to Hilton Town together a few days ago. When they were planning to purchase goods, they encountered floods and were trapped in the town. They experienced the two most memorable days of their lives.

The closer the kayak is to the Twin Towers, the 4,500-ton behemoth has an even more amazing visual impact.

Compared with the three magic boats dragging a long string of kayaks, they are simply ants at the feet of elephants.

"I seem to smell the scent of food..." Oberma sniffed lightly and whispered with a puzzled face.

"I can smell it too, it seems that someone is cooking bean and rice porridge..." Trunk echoed.

After being hungry for two days, these two hungry guys were extremely sensitive to food.

The two looked at each other and thought of the words the military officer said-"We will also provide you with clean water and abundant food for free."

There is no doubt that the food is prepared for them.

"I think we will be able to drink bean and rice porridge soon..." Oberma licked her lips, saliva secreted rapidly.

"I will drink 3 bowls later...no, 5 bowls..." Trunk nodded heavily and said excitedly.

The "bean and rice porridge" in the two populations is porridge made with "bean, rice and rice".

...

In today's Thousand Lakes Republic, soybeans, rice and rice have become a fairly common staple food, especially in the southern regions, where most civilians eat soybeans, rice and rice.

After all, soybeans, rice and rice are cheaper than wheat, and the cooking method is simpler. You don't need to grind wheat into flour before making bread like bread.

Two years ago, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce began to use mechanized methods to grow soybeans, rice and rice on a large scale near the Indiana Lake area.

As of last month, the total planting area has reached 10 million hectares, which is 15 million hectares when converted into acres.

With advanced planting technology, coupled with "Jinke La", that is, the extensive use of struvite processing fertilizers, the average yield of soybeans, rice and rice per mu has reached a terrifying 630 kilograms, and the total output has reached an astonishing 9.5 million tons. .

Regarding the grain grown in other regions, this year's grain output has exceeded 14 million tons.

This not only solved the food problem of the entire country, but also made the Thousand Lakes Republic the largest food exporter in the human world. Even the Snow Thorn Kingdom in the far north has also traveled far and wide to buy food in the Thousand Lakes Republic.

On the other hand, the sharp increase in food production has naturally led to a sharp drop in prices, especially the price of wheat. This year's prices have fallen by a full 60% compared to two years ago.

As a result, a large number of self-employed farmers went bankrupt and were forced to enter factories and become workers.

During the first industrial revolution on earth, Britain greatly increased the number of workers through violent and **** "sheep cannibalism", and objectively provided sufficient labor for the industrial revolution.

In another world, Renault set off an agricultural revolution, using economic means to achieve the same goal.

The pastoral aristocrats who rely heavily on "farm plantations" have become increasingly distressed in economic conditions. In order to alleviate financial difficulties, the pastoral aristocrats are forced to sell their own land.

Although the harvest of soybeans, rice and rice has caused land prices to plummet, the nobles have no choice.

Everyone knows that the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will expand the cultivation of soybeans, rice and rice, and land prices will continue to fall by then.

So the later the land is sold, the more it suffers.

Suddenly, a huge amount of cheap land flooded into the market, and the Haichao Chamber of Commerce took advantage of this opportunity to buy land frantically, and it was too fast to eat.

According to statistics, in the past two years, under the auspices of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce has acquired more than 80 million hectares of land, which is 800,000 square kilometers, and has directly become the largest landlord in the Republic.

Among them, 20% is developed land and the rest is undeveloped land.

Anyway, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is not bad at all. As long as someone dares to sell, the Chamber of Commerce will dare to buy.
