Chapter 74 Brainstorming (Part 2)
The older generation, who already have very stubborn ideas, still cannot accept it. For example, in the family of my uncle Lin Hongyuan, although Lin Lang is obviously more outstanding, he pays more attention to the training of his grandson Lin Daxuan.
Even though Lin Yue posed a great threat to him, he thought that Lin Yue was just a girl after all and would not affect the Lin family too much.
"Also, during this trip, we've seen so many countries that have surpassed us. So, are there more that we haven't seen?
If we occupy an island, especially a large one, we will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of these shipping caravans and countries. Without strong power, we will not be able to withstand their attacks and will eventually become cannon fodder.
This attack is not limited to weapons, but also to economy and culture. Therefore, we must be strong in all aspects to survive under the watchful eyes of the powerful dragon.
"Since the sea is so dangerous, why can't we carve out a piece of territory inland? Although there are dangers, I think it's safer inland."
Everyone knows this truth, but the key point is that everyone's identity is that of a convict, which restricts their activities to Lingnan and they cannot go anywhere else. Even if they take a boat to an unfamiliar country to carve out a territory, the final development is unpredictable.
"Development in the inland region has led to many unexpected events, such as droughts, floods, earthworms, insect plagues, and wars. These are common challenges no matter where you are in the inland region.
Moreover, if one develops in the mainland, he will inevitably become an official in the court, and his family members will join the government. Then, he will inevitably be involved in the struggle for imperial power, and the final outcome will be the beheading of nine generations of his family.
Although aristocratic families have existed in the inland for a long time, how many of them can be passed down for thousands of years?
Basically, families and clans are divided, and the original relatives eventually die without any contact with each other."
Doesn’t Lin Yue like the inland?
The inland scenery is diverse and the environment is better. She can go anywhere she wants and see more of life, but the reality does not allow her to choose.
"Then there's no danger on the island? I heard you encountered a storm this time. If there had been a typhoon and the sea had flooded the island, wouldn't we have been wiped out?"
"So we need talents from all walks of life, people who are good at observing the stars and can see weather changes in advance so that we can avoid them.
If someone really prefers to live inland and feels unsafe at sea, they can buy a house inland to live permanently or move that group of people inland.
During Lin Yue's trip to the sea, she discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the sea was much higher. Although it was not as high as that in the outskirts of Jingyue Valley, it was a thousand times higher than in the city.
Otherwise, with her body covered in wounds and half of her blood lost, it would be a question whether she could still survive without a large amount of spiritual energy nourishment.
Therefore, she tends to establish a territory on the island that belongs only to them.
"This is my initial idea. In the future, only people from Baixiang Village will live on the entire island, and we, the first people, will build a house in the center."
Lin Yue took out a piece of paper, spread it out, and pointed to the center.
"Later, schools, workshops, a business hall, research institutes one, two, three, and four, weapons workshops, libraries, exhibition halls, an observatory, and a commercial street were built nearby. This whole area is full of them.
As for our descendants, they will expand outwards, so the one in the middle will always be our main line. As for the people in our Baixiang Village, there may also be servants, followers, helpers, and relatives we bring back. All of these people will be arranged on one side of the entire island.
They also have a way to rise from the outside to the inside. Schools will be built where they live. The initial learning content is the same as that of Baixiang Village. If good talents are found, they can consider being promoted to advanced colleges.
By the way, I have also divided the colleges carefully. The junior college corresponds to enlightenment and the most basic knowledge. The intermediate college offers elective courses such as arithmetic, stargazing, medicine, agriculture, fisheries, craftsmanship, business, language, ideological education, and island training. The senior college is for in-depth training.
As a Baixiang Village resident, you must complete junior high school, high school, and college to ensure your continued excellence. After completing your studies, you can join a research institute, travel, and so on according to your own wishes."
Lin Yue's plan was so impressive that it effectively intimidated a group of people who were originally full of ulterior motives.
"Of course, this is just my initial idea. You can also bring up any ideas you have, and I will modify and add to it later."
Everyone is looking at a full drawing. You have thought of everything. Now you ask them what opinions they have. What opinions can they have?
They have dull faces. The younger generations are so outstanding that they make the older generation look useless!
"Um, can I ask a question?"
Lin Daxuan, who was standing in the corner with no sense of presence, asked cautiously.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him, as if they wanted to burn him through.
Of course Lin Yue saw the other party's embarrassment, but signaled him to speak boldly.
Lin Daxuan spoke timidly under the gazes of everyone.
"Auntie, why do servants have to study too?"
He is a good boy and asks when he doesn't understand.
In his worldview, servants only need to serve their masters, and of course this is also to prevent news about the family from spreading out.
“First of all, we all have a high level of knowledge. The people who serve us will most likely accompany us on our voyages and run errands for us in various places. If they can’t read or speak the local language, is there any need for us to bring them along?
And as time goes by, I believe that we will develop better and better, and the talents who follow us need to learn more knowledge so that they can help us.
Moreover, this will be more conducive to their loyalty and the probability of defection will be much smaller."
To be honest, during this period of time, Lin Daxuan has learned to take care of himself and doesn't care whether he has servants or not. If it weren't for his aunt's plan, I'm afraid he would have almost forgotten the days of having everything provided for him.
"If you want servants, you must teach them to endure hardships and hard work from a young age. If you spoil them, don't expect them to become successful."
Cheng Xiao, who advocates military education, believes that children can only become successful if they grow up through hardships.
Although he murmured in a low voice, Lin Yue still heard it. Rich people are the most likely to be corrupted in their nest. She rolled her eyes and thought that since they were allowed to learn knowledge, it would be a waste of their talents to be servants.
“Actually, they are not considered servants. We on the island don’t belong to any country, so we can’t sign contracts or indentures. We can only be hired, and they are free people.
From now on, you will have to pay all the hiring fees yourself, and the level of service you receive will be based on your ability!"
