Doctor, I'm really strong!

She took a deep breath, realizing she had seriously underestimated her thirteenth brother's ability to cause trouble, and said with unusual seriousness, "People from Yan Kingdom have arrived."

"Oh, is it the Court of Judicial Review or the Ministry of Rites? Or perhaps the Court of Judicial Review or the Court of Imperial Sacrifices?"

Ling reached out and flicked Liu Jiuli on the forehead: "You expect them all to come looking for you?"

Liu Jiuli symbolically rubbed his forehead and said, "Anyway, someone will definitely come, so why am I in a hurry?"

With a helpless expression, he put his hands on his hips and said, "You say you know nothing, yet you always have a backup plan. You say you're well-prepared, yet you're always careless at crucial moments. Are you fishing?"

Liu Jiuli shrugged: "How could that be? I just wanted to make more people's lives better, and incidentally make a little more money. I didn't think about anything else. It's you who are thinking about this and that, and now you're blaming me."

Ling sighed and said earnestly, "Because we are Sui's clones, we are a threat. So no matter what we do, the Yan Kingdom's court must react. This is also for the sake of the people of Da Yan."

Liu Jiuli asked curiously, "What kind of country is the Great Yan? Never mind, I'll just ask directly, is the purpose of the Yan Dynasty to serve the people?"

He asked, dumbfounded, "Why would you ask that?"

Liu Jiuli: "Sister Ling, just answer my question directly."

After thinking for a moment, Ling said, "The rulers of Yan Kingdom throughout history have said that the people are water and the ruler and his ministers are boats. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

Liu Jiuli: "What is Yan Guo's attitude towards infected people?"

Order: "At least better than other countries."

Liu Jiuli: "How much better? Will they provide treatment and employment?"

Ling was speechless: "Do you think everyone is like you? After all, you are an infected person, so you have to be careful."

Liu Jiuli nodded and did not ask any further questions.

For some reason, Liu Jiuli, who seemed to ask no questions, appeared more dangerous than before.

Section 67: Your sister supports you

(Third update, where's the encouragement from my comrades? (?ω?))

For Ling, Liu Jiuli's demands were not excessive, but outrageous. Any country's attitude towards infected people is a social pressure relief valve, the best tool for persecution, and a useless thing to be discarded. Yan Country's level can already be called compassionate. The extremely rare cases of Future Technology Company and Red Guards cannot be magnified to the whole country.

Yes, Ling also sympathizes with these people's plight, but the danger of infected people is undeniable. An acute attack can turn a person into a bomb, and then everyone around them will suffer. The medicine to treat Oripathy is also not cheap, so where did Liu Jiuli get so many medicines and food? Rhodes Island alone definitely wouldn't be able to manage.

Now, Ling understands his thirteenth brother less and less. The most special fragment of the Year Phase possesses power that even surpasses that of the Year. Could it be that there is some extraordinary encounter that Ling cannot understand, or is there another hidden story behind the shattering of the Year Phase?

I don't know. Since Liu Jiuli appeared, many common sense things have been shattered. Maybe you will only know what happened with alcohol when you see the end. Otherwise, it's like driving in the fog and not knowing where you are going.

To be honest, I'm quite worried now. If things continue to develop in the way Liu Jiuli has been causing trouble, it's only a matter of time before Yan Kingdom focuses its attention on them. What will happen then? Will it be another round of war between humans and gods?

The Yan Kingdom is not to be trifled with. Even the combined power of the twelve phases of the year is no match for the Yan Kingdom now. What's more, Liu Jiuli is active in the most sensitive city of the Yan Kingdom—Longmen.

In short, it's a huge headache. Having a mischievous younger brother is tough on the older sister.

Just like back then...

Ling's lack of understanding did not surprise Liu Jiuli at all. To her, ordinary people were simply from two different worlds. The middle class on Earth all felt that they had achieved financial freedom and were superior to others, having left the proletariat group behind. Without control of the means of production, they could not empathize with ordinary people.

The gap between people on Terra will only widen. You have to understand that even the concept of equality for all is not a universal value here. Our home planet Earth has been promoting this for over two hundred years. Natural human rights are a basic principle. Even if a few idiots occasionally declare war on universal values, they are at most just spouting nonsense. They do it in secret, but they would never dare to do it openly.

At present, the only revolutionary comrade who can truly understand Liu Jiuli is Black Snake Talulah; Tarua can only be considered half a comrade.

The villain in the game actually wants to join me in a revolution: the untold secrets of Black Snake.

Reality is such a dark comedy.

"Sister Ling, I have something to do. See you later."

Liu Jiuli had only taken two steps when Ling reached out and pressed his shoulder, then said firmly, "Jiuli, I think I know what you're trying to do. You're pursuing fairness; you want a fairer world. You're just like Jie back then, willing to do anything for your dream."

“I won’t stop you, but you must remember that we are family. When you make a decision, you must tell me. Maybe I won’t understand, but I will support you and believe you are right.”

Liu Jiuli was stunned. He slowly turned around and saw Ling's pained and conflicted expression, but those eyes told him that Ling was serious about what he said, and every word was sincere.

"Sister Ling, what's wrong with you?"

This time, Liu Jiuli genuinely felt that she had an older sister, unlike before when she called her "elder sister."

Ling smiled tenderly, reached out and hugged Liu Jiuli, and said softly, "There's nothing I can do. Who told you to be so troublesome? I don't want to lose another family member."

Feeling the warm embrace, Liu Jiuli felt for the first time that he had a place in this other world where he could feel at ease.

No one can resist this genuine warmth. Being strong enough to not need care is one thing, but others caring for you is another. In life, we may say we're okay and appear strong, but deep down we all crave to be loved.

Honestly, it's quite charming when my usually lively and energetic older sister suddenly becomes gentle.

Liu Jiuli replied softly, "Don't worry, sister."

Regardless of what others think, to the locals, future technology and the Red Guards are their sun.

"We're hiring! Future Technology is hiring! Anyone interested, come over here to sign up. Line up, line up! Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be kicked out, and you won't get any meals when they're served!"

The recruitment was handled by Rhodes Island operators. Blaze and her team were surrounded by a surging crowd, each face filled with anticipation and longing, making it impossible to refuse.

Agent Greythroat is registering applicants. After registering, they will be taken to the cafeteria for a meal, then take a shower, undergo a medical examination, and finally start their job, receiving various training. Under normal circumstances, they will be assigned to work after three months. If they perform well, there will be further training, including the company sponsoring their university education.

The latter part is not the company's obligation, but a responsibility to bear the consequences. Liu Jiuli is very clear that the talents you cultivate may not belong to you. You might end up cultivating talents for someone else. There are too many temptations outside, including people who are deliberately trying to harm you.

In this situation, those who receive funding are required to return to Future Technology and work for thirty years after completing their studies. Don't worry, it's not about working like a slave for thirty years. You'll receive all kinds of benefits, and promotions and salary increases will depend on your abilities. We guarantee you won't be taken advantage of. You only need to repay the principal of your student loan. Future Technology isn't like America; it won't make you work at thirty and only pay off your student loan at sixty.

But if you regret it after graduation and don't want to take responsibility, sorry, you'll have to pay compensation equal to one hundred times the amount the company paid for everything during your studies. If you refuse to pay or become a deadbeat, the company has the right to enforce the judgment, including confiscating your life. Believe me, Liu Jiuli absolutely can and is capable of doing it. Is that domineering?

Happiness is relative. Given the living environment of Terra, 99% of people are cut off from university, or even worse, they might be born into a world where they receive prenatal education but not academic education.

As for literacy rates, my friend, there are many methods for calculating literacy rates. Some countries don't even include infected individuals in their statistics, and there are also certain untouchables who are excluded. These people basically make up more than 10% of the total population of Terra. After counting the remaining individuals, the literacy rate fluctuates between 30% and 40%, with at least half of them only able to write their own names. This isn't just inflated grades; it's like the grades have fallen into the sea.

Moreover, literacy rate does not mean you have received a complete education, nor does it mean you have attended primary school. Currently, the only country in the Terra continent that has achieved a primary school coverage rate of over 50% is Yan Kingdom, but that's all it has achieved.

Then look at the investments that Future Technology and the Red Guards make in education for everyone; it's truly touching.

After all, Liu Jiuli manages the company in the same way that the state manages taxes. The money here is all the surplus value created by everyone. The whole company helped you complete your studies. You betrayed us after graduation, so you naturally have to pay the price. If you can't pay the price in money, then pay the price with your life.

Liu Jiuli also took a shrewish approach by clearly writing all the above terms down, not playing games with you.

However, most people don't know the significance of the subsequent regulations. For them, who might go hungry nine times in three days, a job that can fill their stomachs is enough for them to fight for with all their might.

Looking at the long queue outside the recruitment office, Liu Jiuli felt that this was not enough and that they needed to add more fuel to the fire.

Section 68: Let's start making arrangements now.

(Update delivered, one more update coming soon, ?(^?^))

People are the foundation of everything, so we must put people first.

The simplest way for Liu Jiuli to control Longmen is to control its economic and military lifeline. Wei Yanwu is just a mural hanging on the wall; if he dares to make a move, he'll experience the Ming Dynasty's system of succession by drowning.

Currently, Longmen has a total population of over five million, with adult laborers accounting for half of the total population. The reason for such an exaggerated proportion is that the slums have a large number of young and middle-aged laborers. People who are too old to work simply do not have the right to live here, or rather, the cruel living environment forces them to become victims.

Data shows that the probability of a Terran person dying of old age is less than two percent.

They have long lifespans, but very few of them live past sixty, which is worse than that of ordinary people on Earth.

That's why they say it's better to be a dog in a prosperous era than a human in a chaotic one.

"This is our future, a future we can see, and a future we are building!"

At a meeting of Red Guard cadres, Liu Jiuli pointed to the Chernobog and Lungmen maps piled with LED light bulbs and said, "We learned this trick from Big Brother. It's time to launch a five-year plan."

Hey, do you have that many math talents to run a planned economy?

No, but the Red Guards only control one city and one district, Lungmen. Besides, the system spirit Moonshadow can help. She has a strong computing ability and can assist with the current five-year plan without any problem.

The remaining issues will be resolved by the talent trained by the Red Guards themselves. The current problems are temporary and will be solved sooner or later.

If there's really no solution, just poach people from Rhodes Island.

What? Kal'tsit disagrees? Oh dear, why bother with so much at a time like this? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. If you won't give it to me, I'll just throw money at you. Kal'tsit, we're such good friends, you can't possibly refuse to help with this little thing, right? Besides, the money is definitely there. For our shared ideals, comrades should help each other out.

Kal'tsit couldn't stand Liu Jiuli's long lecture and finally nodded in agreement. Overjoyed, Liu Jiuli took away half of Rhodes Island's operators and technicians, and even the cleaners who washed the decks.

This is all for our future. Rhodes Island's small sacrifice will be remembered. It's not like I'm not going to pay you.

Indeed, Liu Jiuli gave too much. The Red Guards' treatment was too good. In addition, Liu Jiuli also had the identity of a doctor from Rhodes Island, and his relationship with Dr. Kal'tsit was somewhat ambiguous. So, you know, there's no need to be so particular.

Even Amiya was dragged into working overtime by Liu Jiuli, because this girl is exceptionally good at math.

Really, this is beyond Liu Jiuli's imagination. Amiya actually has this kind of talent. That's great! My five-year plan is still missing a few people. You set up a planned economy working group and start working now.

Honey, Amiya, you still have a lot to do and can't rest yet.

Hahaha, you worthless donkey, you've finally met your match!

Ahem, just kidding. In reality, the little donkey is quite cute and works very hard. Liu Jiuli often forces her to leave work, otherwise this girl might exhaust herself to the point of collapse at her post.

This kind of responsible attitude would be a capitalist's dream on Earth.

But the proletariat must be responsible for their own lives, and for the longer and more protracted struggle. Health is the foundation of revolution, so go and rest now. That's my order. If you have any objections, knock them out and put them to sleep!

Of course, some positions cannot be replaced once the work has started. All Liu Jiuli can do is provide them with sufficient compensation, giving them all the benefits they deserve, as well as various nutritional supplements, showing great care.

Over time, everyone realized that only those technical positions that were very important, irreplaceable, and difficult to hand over shifts to could work overtime frequently, and their benefits were quite good. At the end of the month, their total wages were more than ten times that of ordinary workers.

But no one had any objections. Everyone could see how hard people worked, so working overtime became a synonym for "outstanding talent" in the future technology industry. If someone said, "I often work overtime," the people around them would immediately look at them with envy.

In the future of technology, only the strong will be entitled to work overtime, while the weak will only be entitled to a regular eight-hour workday and a two-day weekend.

As a result, the self-enrollment night school for future technology quickly became incredibly popular, with everyone studying desperately. However, learning is something that not everyone can handle. Just like advanced mathematics, some people will eventually end up working on an assembly line, but that is a dignified job, something you can't experience anywhere else.

If outsiders come to District Six, their first impression is that this place is inexplicable.

Everyone had a smile on their face and looked busy, but very fulfilled; it wasn't the kind of busyness that was just for show.

Wages vary greatly depending on the intensity of the work. The concept that labor is the most glorious is implemented very well. Front-line technical workers earn more than second-line office workers. Liu Jiuli's own salary is only about twice that of the highest-level technical workers. On the other hand, those who are assessed as special technical talents have very high salaries, as do those in special work positions.

If we want to avoid the hollowing out of industry in the future, we must not allow speculative business practices to outweigh those that lead to wealth through hard work, and we must not allow financial capital to make money more easily than industrial capital. Otherwise, the United States will suffer the same fate.

It's not that we shouldn't engage in finance, but rather that we should allow finance to play a role in resource allocation, rather than playing a value-added game of transferring money from one hand to the other.

Money only has value when it buys something; otherwise, it's just worthless paper on paper. Material things are the foundation of credit.

For those who think printing money can solve everything, Zimbabwe is their future.

Before anyone knew it, the entire Sixth District had been completely transformed into a training camp and construction site, a paradise for workers to work, study, live, and play. The construction of Chernobog was no different, with both sides brimming with enthusiasm.

"Moving forward step by step, with a foreseeable future and a happy present, this feeling is addictive."

This is how Broken Bones describes his current life.
