"My dear friends, I know that something happened over there in Yizhou. You are all worried, and so am I. But no one expected this!"
After drinking a few glasses of strong wine, Ying Zheng also began to express his feelings.
Those people who were killed were all the people of his Great Qin, and as the Lord of the Great Qin, it was absolutely impossible for him not to feel sad!
He will never show mercy to those with ulterior motives, but this time the victims are ordinary people!
"Your Majesty, the distance between Da Qin and Yizhou is far. Even if there are soldiers stationed in Yizhou, it is impossible to cover everything!"
"Yes! As long as you go to sea, there are certain risks. There is nothing you can do about it!"
Several veterans put down their chopsticks and said helplessly.
Going out to sea is the most common, and occasionally you will encounter thieves who rob ships, and now those natives are also included.
Of course, the sailors they hired have already thought of this, but they are willing to go to sea because they can get high salaries and find opportunities to hide their selfishness!
As long as you come back alive, you can get a lot of money regardless of whether you find the treasure or not!
"After Yizhou investigates the list of casualties, more compensation must be given. Otherwise, who will dare to go to sea in the future? Let alone immigrate!"
Ying Zheng frowned and said deeply.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, hundreds of families will be living in poverty due to the death of men in their families!"
"It's easy for us to say that if there are any of our people among them, they will definitely be given extremely generous compensation, but that may not be the case for others! Especially those wealthy private households, they must be using words like life and death to prevaricate!"
"The most important thing is that we can't set a rigid requirement for this kind of thing. We can't just ask them to take as much as we take...!"
Wang Ben and others spoke one after another.
Although human life is precious nowadays, there is no hard and fast standard. Compensation depends entirely on conscience!
If the family is wealthy and has a good conscience, more compensation can be given.
If the employer himself doesn’t have much money, then his death will be in vain!
Especially a very dangerous job like going to sea!
"Alas! The war failed to consume so many lives, but in the end, lives were lost just to make money!"
Perhaps it was because he was drunk, but the more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more painful he felt.
"This is just the beginning, not the end!"
However, Ying Feiyu, who had been hugging the table and not saying much, suddenly said this.
This is undoubtedly pouring cold water on Ying Zheng's head, which makes him feel very cold!
"You kid can't pick up something nice to say?"
Ying Zheng thought this kid had a crow's mouth, and immediately scolded him angrily.
"Father, what I said is true. Losing one's life due to work will happen again in the future!"
Ying Feiyu said while eating.
"How is this possible? As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, what dangers can there be in normal work?"
Ying Zheng glanced at him and didn't believe it at all.
"Father, in the past, people's income depended entirely on farming, and the tools they used were only cattle and a few iron tools, so there was naturally no danger! But now more and more people are working in factories, building railways, highways, and those who Everything that goes out to sea is dangerous, and no one can guarantee that these tasks will be foolproof!"
"Are you telling me that you can die working in a factory?"
This was something Ying Zheng had never thought of before.
"It's not that working in a factory will kill you, but in any job, there is a possibility of accidents!"
Even in later generations, with a lot of experience, some work-related injuries often occur, which is not surprising at all.
"Is it a mistake to allow Great Qin to develop rapidly?"
Alcohol seemed to paralyze Ying Zheng's brain, and he even began to wonder whether those industries should not have been developed in the first place.
"Humph! If there is no development, many people in Da Qin will be able to eat half full, and some will not even be half full. More people will die of starvation than accidental deaths!"
Ying Feiyu snorted coldly, and was so angry that his father couldn't eat anymore, so he directly put down the chopsticks in his hands.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. If the Qin Dynasty had not developed, the people at the border would still be invaded by the Xiongnu and other foreign tribes. They would often suffer massacres, and many more people would die than now!"
Wang Ben was absolutely on Ying Feiyu's side.
It is because of the arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince that Great Qin developed, and Great Qin can have the peaceful days it has today!
Otherwise, in a war, countless people will die!
There has been no war in the past few years. Your Majesty has become accustomed to such days, so after the death, he began to feel heartache!
"Yeah! That's right!"
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
"Even if Daqin does not develop industry and only develops agriculture, manufacturing tractors, rotary cultivators, pole exterminators, harvesters, etc. is still dangerous, and life may be involved! But the chance is very small. Very small, one in ten thousand!”
Ying Feiyu casually gave an example, explaining that as long as you want to develop and use various machines, accidents will inevitably occur. This cannot be prevented and the people can only pay attention to it.
But the veterans, including Ying Zheng, all blinked and looked at him after hearing these words.
"What do you mean by this? What I said is true. Whether it is developing agriculture or industry, there are certain risks. But no matter how you say it, it is better than before when the people had not enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes, right?"
Ying Feiyu thought that the old guys had such expressions because they didn't believe what he said.
However, what surprised the veterans was the machines he just mentioned inadvertently.
"The machines you just mentioned are all used in agriculture? Why is there only one tractor now? What are those harvesters and the like?"
Ying Zheng stared at him in surprise.
"Oh! Those are also those who help with farming and harvesting!"
Ying Feiyu stuck out his tongue slightly and said with a smile.
"What? You kid is actually hiding something? There are so many machines that can help farming and production, why have you only studied one tractor now?"
Ying Zheng immediately became dissatisfied and shouted loudly with his beard and eyes wide open.
Several other old guys also kept blinking and staring at him.
Needless to say, they are also waiting for Ying Feiyu's answer!
Although I don’t think he is hiding anything, I am curious as to why he doesn’t produce all those things!
"Father, all those machines must be used with tractors. Tractors have not been fully popularized yet. Even if I research all those machines, what will be the use?"
Ying Feiyu rolled his eyes at him angrily.
The internal combustion engine factory worked quickly and slowly to replace all steam tractors with internal combustion engine tractors before this autumn harvest!
As a result, this old guy started thinking about researching all those agricultural machinery!
Could it be that Daddy Scumbag has forgotten that two minutes ago he was still wondering whether Da Qin should not be allowed to develop so fast!
