Hotel on the mountain

Toward mid-August, a fleet finally appeared at the port of the New World—a psychic battleship and an ocean-going sailing ship. When Jetro rushed to the port after hearing the news, he saw a large number of prisoners walking off the deck of the psychic battleship. The navy and Gordon belonging to the Western Region were handing over things and trying hard to get all the prisoners. The prisoners all stood in order and lined up.

I have to admit that Jetro was almost frightened by the psychic battleship. It was a ship specially used for war. No one would want to see it appear in their own waters. After discovering that the battleship was transporting prisoners, he carefully looked at this Hebrew Empire's national weapon - it was three times the size of an ordinary ocean-going sailing ship, and its appearance was similar. It also had three large vertical beams. The sail is just that its hull is completely black. I don’t know whether it is the color of the paint or the material used to make the ship. I can only confirm that the material used to make the ship is very precious and strong - because the psychic battleship’s hull is equipped with a row of images on all sides. A huge black tube like a gun barrel. This black tube is connected to a "psionic engine" inside the ship. When necessary, the captain can turn on the "psionic engine" to give the ship instant thrust in a certain direction to force changes. The course and position of the ship.

As for the weapon system on the psychic battleship, Jetro knew nothing about it.

Jetro and a group of people who had never seen a psychic battleship gathered around the beach to observe the battleship. They were amazed at the development model of this world. It took a long time for Golandon to pull him back to his senses.

I saw Gordon taking out a letter from his arms and handing it to Jetro, and dispersed the other people, so Jetro directly opened this reply letter from the contemporary Duke of Raya:

“My son, a person’s foresight can only grow if he climbs to the top - your proposal to ‘transfer felons to the New World’ has been unanimously recognized by other dukes and the royal family.

Because the various production techniques introduced by the Boyero Empire have greatly improved social productivity, resulting in a large number of people becoming unemployed, the crime rate and criminals in the empire are constantly rising. This is a problem for the prison system and social security. A very serious challenge.

They are happy to reduce the huge annual prison expenses in the country and territory, and promise to use one-third of the Hebrew Empire’s prison expenses in 1800 to let us contract the responsibility of supervising serious prisoners every year. What's more, they proposed to send prisoners with medium and light sentences to the New World to completely cut prison expenses to a minimum. They believed that this was a way to "completely cut off prisoners from their previous social relations and allow them to truly start a new life." Life is a very human punishment."

But considering that I haven't seen the results of your management yet, I declined this request.

Jetro, my beloved child, I can finally tell you now - all your expenses for traveling to the New World will be taken care of by a dedicated team, striving to minimize the cost of your 'willfulness'.

I am very happy that a considerable amount of income has finally been recorded in this ledger that records your expenditures, so that the supplies and ships sent to the New World finally have room for growth - I used this income to communicate with Marshal Adolf After discussion, he asked him to send idle ships to transport large quantities of prisoners and supplies.

Work hard, Jetro. May you achieve everything by yourself. "

After reading the letter, Jetro understood that this psychic battleship was the result of power and money transactions in the upper class, but it was very beneficial to him. If he could earn the money to buy off the navy, he could use it indefinitely. Battleships came to transport supplies and manpower. According to Gordon's description, it only took a month for the psychic battleship to reach the New World, and by the way, it caught up with the ocean-going sailing ship "Lisbon" that had set off a month earlier. This was still not familiar with the sea route, so proceed cautiously there. the result of.

The principle of building roads first if you want to get rich also applies to the sea. As long as the psychic battleship can be stationed permanently, the construction speed of the mountain hotel will be accelerated several times! But first he had to solve the management problem of these prisoners.

"Master Yetro, these people are all felons with sound limbs. They were transported from the family territory. They are currently the first batch. The established number is 300 people. Twenty-four people died during the voyage. There are currently 270 people." Sixteen people." Gordon read the information on the side, and Jetro frowned after hearing it.

He sounded stern and asked directly: "Twenty-four people died? Twenty-four fresh laborers died during the one-month voyage? Gordon, please think of a way, I don't want it to be shipped next time There are so many casualties. Not to mention they are still prisoners and they have a lot of time to live in prison. But if we need them, we must treat them well."

Golandon put his hands on both sides, showing a tough military style. He bent slightly, nodded, and responded: "I understand, Master Jetro, I will properly resolve this matter."

Jetro approached the pile of prisoners. Their hands and feet were all shackled with iron chains. Most of them were men and almost all of them looked pale and weak. Many of them were even a little unsteady when standing. So Jetro motioned for them to sit down, and sent someone to send some food to distribute. Then he stood at the front of the crowd - a makeshift high platform, staring silently below.

He maintained a review posture, and was actually communicating with Mengzhi: "Mengzhi, can't you tell me the specific memory of human beings?"

"yes."

"Then can you tell me which of these people are murderers, violent, petty thieves and completely innocent?"

"No. Would you like it if I told someone about the kind of despicable deeds you do?"

Jetro thought for a while and continued to ask: "Okay! Mengzhi, I understand. You have your own rules. You can't tell me who has done bad things and what bad things have been done, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let's think about it from another dimension. Can you help me find out which people here have done good things and how many good things they have done?"

Mengzhi did not respond immediately, as if she was also thinking about whether this was against the rules. So Jetro continued to explain: "According to human moral standards, you set up an average line for doing good deeds - put people who have been doing good deeds all their lives into one pile, put those who have done a lot of good deeds into one pile, and put those who have done good deeds into one pile. Can we put those who have done few good things into one pile and those who have done almost no good things?”

"I want to remind you that you are trying to circumvent my rules." Mengzhi's voice paused for a moment, then immediately continued, "But, this can work - judge a person based on moderate moral values, not Judging someone based on their guilt is another manifestation of civilization. I can help you.”

During the communication between Yetro's consciousness, everyone only felt that the heir to the Raya family was majestic and extraordinary, but they didn't know what he was doing standing so tall for so long.

Finally, after a period of eerie silence, Jetro waved his hand and motioned for Yume to step forward and sort the prisoners into piles, from left to right: "rarely do good deeds", "rarely do good deeds" "A good deed", "A person who does a lot of good deeds", "A person who does good deeds all his life".

Among these heavy-duty prisoners, there are actually more than a dozen people who "have been doing good deeds all their lives." They are obviously honest people who have been used as scapegoats. This group of people, Yetro decided to absorb them into the West Si Raya's guards gave him the best treatment.

Next, there are more than 60 people who "do a lot of good things". Jetro decided to absorb these people into the hotel's service system, including the blacksmith shop, kitchen and other places.

Most of the remaining people are "rarely do good deeds" and "rarely do good deeds". The proportion of these two groups of people is also balanced, with about a hundred people each. Among them, "few do good things", Jetro decided to send them as construction workers, give them due benefits and treatment, and let them be responsible for the construction of the mountain hotel.

Based on human moral standards and support for the idea of ​​"Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", Jetro believes that these last "rarely good people", even if they are not real criminals, are still an indifferent part of society. In the Alpine Hotel In the development process, there are people who are unable to control and create value. For these people, Jetro's arrangement is to send them to Qiu Guangna for the second round of screening.

There is never a perfect system in the world. Many rules can only protect the interests of most people and most of the reality. If someone among them dies due to the selection of dreams - unless a more effective management method can be found , otherwise Jetro would have no choice but to say sorry to him.
