"About this problem."
Hank looked at Li Ke, then extended a finger.
"First, smart people will choose not to keep their promises when the power gap is too big, but we have a 'stupid' leader. He keeps his promises and is quite loyal, which is really annoying. "
He extended a second finger.
"Second, the people are stupid, so they can only see the benefits in front of them. Before the money is really in their hands, they won't even believe in the promises of God. "
Then, he extended a third finger.
"Third, what do you think I did before? Bernard? My previous job was to make them not realize how much they should have received, and to make them believe that it was reasonable for them to take their previous salary. Otherwise, why do you think Sir said he wanted to hang me when we met? Because I am the biggest stumbling block for his empire in this place. "
Hank had tried his best to teach the secretary everything he could in simple words. Although the secretary was capable, he was still inexperienced. Because he found that Li Ke had no intention of replacing this secretary. Of course, Bernard's superb ability to deal with miscellaneous matters, as well as his clean record, was also an important reason. So he needed to cultivate this secretary and let himself have a solid, reliable, and close ally.
"Uh, ah, it seems that we have always known that the salary we gave them was not enough?"
Bernard was a little shocked, but Hank's face was matter-of-fact.
"If they think the salary is reasonable, then why don't they give him the salary? Bernard? They didn't ask for it, and they didn't think about it. Do you think anyone other than Sir would force their salary to be given to them? In other words, do you think a wolf would give its food to an ant without being attacked? So before this, no one except Sir thought there was anything wrong with it. "
Bernard was completely silent.
"So what Sir is doing here is to let the other workers ask for their salary to be like this? Let them get a salary that matches their labor? "
Bernard finally understood the real intention of Li Ke's actions. He subconsciously thought of the possibility that these workers would be killed by other factory owners. But when he thought about the street lamps with corpses hanging on them, he decided not to say anything.
This was because Li Ke had been killing too ruthlessly this month.
Anyone who dared to question his actions would first have to undergo a round of investigation to see if there were any factories in their homes that exceeded Li Ke's definition of 'legal'. If there was, and they were still working, then their entire family would be dead. He was merciless. Even those highly respected professors, socialites, and literary experts would be vetted as long as they dared to raise any opinions. Those who failed the vetting were all dead.
As for the gangs that took the opportunity to cause trouble?
They were all dead.
In the short span of a month, only a tenth of the people that Bernard knew were left. It could be said that every day Li Ke would kill hundreds of gentlemen and ladies and hang their bodies on the street lamps. In fact, if Mr. Hank hadn't protected so many people, he probably wouldn't even know one-tenth of the people here. But to their relief, they did have a position in Li Ke's new government, and it was generally not low.
Bernard was Li Ke's secretary, and Hank became Li Ke's general secretary and permanent secretary of the parliament. Don't look at the role of typing, making tea, and pouring coffee. In fact, if Li Ke didn't personally command everything, then the power of the city was basically in the hands of Bernard and Hank. As for the remaining secretaries and housekeepers who were tactful and had a clean family background, most of them became deputy ministers or temporary ministers under Li Ke's regime.
It could be said that although the owner of the city was Li Ke, the managers were still the original bureaucrats. It was just that under Li Ke's suppression, they had to wait for the ministers and employees elected by the workers to step on their heads.
Of course, they weren't dissatisfied. After all, compared to their original position, these deputy ministers were more than enough to satisfy them.
"Yes, because now the majority has changed. Because Sir has chosen to help them, and all we can do is to stand on the side of the majority. Because generally speaking, the side with more people is the most powerful."
Hank nodded slightly. Then he saw Li Ke who had handed over the last worker's salary to the other party and was waving to the workers in cheers. In his heart, he was thinking about how to get rid of the factories in his hands as soon as possible. Because he had a hunch that even if Li Ke didn't want to seize the factories in their hands, these people who were blinded by the excessive salary would let Li Ke seize their factories.
They would unhesitatingly turn what they could endure into unbearable in their hearts and quickly change their identities from those who were given alms to those who were oppressed.
Although this was indeed the truth, and the merchants' oppression had indeed reached a horrifying point where they were slowly depriving the lives of all the civilians, this didn't stop the delicate Mr. Hank from embellishing and polishing this fact.
After all, he was also an exploiter in the past.
But unfortunately, even though Hank and Bernard were shocked by what Li Ke had done, Li Ke didn't feel too happy about it. Because he knew that his first attempt didn't meet his original expectations. This was only the beginning.
Just letting the workers get the salary they deserved wasn't his ultimate goal. His ultimate goal was still to let these people stand on their own feet. But ironically, if he wanted to let the mortals stand up according to his will in a short period of time, he had to borrow the prestige and miracles of the gods in this world to let these people truly understand what he wanted to bring to them.
After all, if he was the only one who built this world where good people would be rewarded and hard work would be rewarded, he wouldn't tire himself to death and he couldn't always maintain his authority through killing. But if he added a god condensed from faith, Li Ke wouldn't have to think about how to maintain the cornerstone of a good environment where good people would be rewarded. This was because the gods could easily see everything in the city and make judgments about it.
Moreover, in the feudal era, borrowing the prestige of the gods was a common operation.
The only thing he had to worry about was the standard of the gods to judge good and evil and to prevent them from directly punishing and judging the mortals.
And in his heart, there were three such gods … God's Chosen Ones.
Angel Kyle, Fallen Angel Morgana, and Jana, who was known as 998.
One of them believed in Order, one of them loved humans, and the last one …
She represented progress.
