Chapter 1467 The Responsibility of the Tall Man
The times always give us a boomerang without us noticing.
"The people of the East will migrate, and our people will become the mainstream, but now, we need more labor, especially when the local large-scale machinery cannot be used."
"The Nirvana Plan has never been a plan of the East alone. During this process, many countries have gradually formed friendly relations of interest. Don't get me wrong, our country has always been non-aligned, but as the leader of the Nirvana Plan, we need to shoulder the responsibilities given to us by the times."
Lu Ping'an's cooperation made the officials feel much more friendly. Everyone knew that Lu Ping'an occupied an important position in the entire strategy. No one would be stupid enough to offend this "white body (empty military title)"
Lu Ping'an listened for a while but didn't understand. After the other side explained it again, he suddenly realized that his "cognition" had deviated again due to the different world lines.
Although my country of the East is non-aligned, it is normal to have some friendly vassal states. Unlike the United States across the ocean, which forms cliques and factions at every turn, it is a bit far-fetched, but in essence, it is the same, just expressed differently.
The biggest difference between the two timelines is that pollution appeared too early, leading to the relative independence of countries and regions. Citibank, which has been gradually unable to suck blood from the world since the 1950s, is naturally not as powerful as Lu Pingan imagined.
Then, the eastern continent of Asia is naturally the sphere of influence of the traditional Eastern Country, which is also the root of the Nirvana Plan being able to pull neighboring countries in to play together.
Some small countries are very realistic. Reality has taught them that if they want to live a good life, they must lick the big countries... and maintain good relations with the powerful friendly countries around them.
As the boss of the region, you must take care of it when your subordinates suffer or are beaten.
Otherwise, people’s hearts will be scattered, and the position of boss will seem like a fake, and others will no longer recognize you as the boss.
The Independent State of Oslo is in trouble, and Citibank is actually very unhappy about it, but it also has to intervene.
This directly led to the proliferation of illegal immigrants and a sharp decline in social security.
The same is true in the east. Some of the island countries along the coast have even sunk. If you, the East Country, really don't care, the leading position of the Nirvana Plan will be equivalent to becoming an empty title.
"This is killing two birds with one stone. It can be used to resettle disaster victims and at the same time, turn these people who have nothing into a labor force."
The needs of disaster victims are not at the same level as those of ordinary civilians. They are the only ones willing to do a lot of hard work. Especially after leaving their homeland and losing protection, they will be much more "honest". If they are not honest, there are ways to make them honest.
Looking at the dark-skinned workers in the designated new city construction area, Lu Ping'an didn't know how to comment. He hadn't seen humans working on the construction site for many years. This job was basically monopolized by the long-armed tribe and the fishmen.
"Let's dispatch some local large-scale machinery. If we continue like this, they will suffer, the quality of the project will not be guaranteed, and most importantly, the local labor groups will protest against us."
Lu Ping'an sighed. As long as he started to take charge of things, there would always be completely unexpected troubles.
The locals welcomed outsiders, especially when they found out that most of them were humans. But when they discovered that these non-Eastern people came for their physical work such as "carrying things" and "dusting", they immediately became unhappy.
They did not protest openly, but "labor gangs" like the Sand Gang and the Brick Gang from the old days of Earth have always existed locally. Once blood is really shed and racial feuds arise, there will probably be big trouble.
On the other hand, the labor remuneration of these people is also a troublesome issue, and it is not simply a matter of money.
Currently, the main currency in circulation in the new country is still the East Country currency. This is not a problem, because if the new country cannot unify the "warlords" and forcibly promotes the new currency, it will directly lead to many areas refusing to use the new currency. Once such a situation occurs, it will directly cause economic turmoil in the entire country.
In a sense, if these people are paid with Dongguo currency, the amount of compensation is basically an insult, an order of magnitude less than the prison money for sewing machines.
“How to deal with it.”
Lu Ping'an was a little embarrassed. It was not impossible to pay them according to the wages of the Eastern people, but Lu Ping'an estimated that if he paid them here, the local laborers over there would be in trouble.
Unequal pay for equal work, and a three-digit difference at that. This has caused a lot of conflicts. Moreover, such a huge sum of money was directly given to these outsiders. Once they consumed it locally, they all became rich people, and the local economy would collapse directly.
".Forget it, never mind."
If you can't think of it, just forget about it. Lu Ping'an directly threw all the troubles to the officials. Their administrative work is professional, and if it really collapses, they will be responsible.
And the facts have proved that they are indeed capable. They directly created a token. The money earned on the construction site must be spent on the construction site, and don't even think about taking a penny home.
This is actually equivalent to offering a super low wage. If this kind of token is circulated locally, it will also give a very low amount, but as long as it is not exchanged, these foreign workers can deceive themselves.
As long as the supply of materials is maintained, this is not a problem in the short term, but in the long term.
"Dongguo is in talks with Xinguo. We intend to support them in discovering a new currency. In the early stage, it will be anchored to the Dongguo currency at a 100-to-1 ratio, but it will gradually decouple."
After hearing this, Lu Ping'an couldn't understand it for a long time. In the end, he could only give a thumbs up.
"You guys are planning to directly control the economic lifeline of the new country. This is much better than us just taking some political privileges. You are really professional."
"You seem to be exaggerating. This is clearly a mutually beneficial thing. Their currency and their economic system need our support. We are just a win-win situation."
"Okay, okay. Both the military and the economy have been taken away. It's a win-win situation. Doesn't this mean it will become a complete comprador government?" Mr. Lu can be more frank now.
Although he sighed a few times, Lu Ping'an did not feel dissatisfied. After all, he was also a Dongguo person, and he estimated that he could gain a lot in this process.
Things like economics and finance, especially in this world's relatively rudimentary commodity-based economy, are ultimately determined by the "production side". It goes without saying which chamber of commerce is the world's largest arms dealer and logistics provider.
"Come on."
The new employees are very diligent, although their mental state is generally quite bad. After all, many of them have suffered devastating disasters in the past six months and lost everything.
As a result, the public security here will also drop significantly.
"Twelve refugees died? Were they killed when they were taking to the streets?"
"They are gangs among the refugees. They don't want to work honestly, so they go to the streets to collect protection money."
“Everyone here is a professional.”
"Uh, I haven't told them yet."
Although it is easy for people who have lost everything to fall into extremes, the hardware is here on the one hand, and on the other hand
"The local homicide and missing persons cases are already horrifically high, so a few more won't be a big deal."
In this difficult world, it seems that there is really nothing to be afraid of.
When Lu Ping'an was about to open the courtyard to these outsiders as planned, he was stopped.
"They have to work very hard every day and don't have time to become professionals. Well, we can give priority to the East Country's military. At least, let them have a calm mind."
Wait a minute? Given the current throughput of the courtyard, if this priority is really put behind the locals, it may take several years.
But this should also be what the East Country needs.
The Easterners must always maintain an absolute advantage and allow them to gradually integrate into this mixed world, which will be good for both sides.
"Okay, do you want me to raise the threshold and fees?"
"Can you do that? Well, I think this is a bit too much."
"No, you see, the Protest Chamber of Commerce needs more volunteers and believers. Isn't it natural to give priority to the devout? God only allows good people to enter heaven."
