Chapter 353 Inspection of Wano Country
Chapter 353 Inspection of Wano Country
Accompanied by the Shigetsuki family, Profic came to the outskirts of Wano.
Nowadays, the country of Wano is undergoing a reform, but the actual effect of the promulgated decree can only be known through on-the-spot investigation.
On the outskirts of Wano Country, people are everywhere under construction.
This is the result of Wano's work-for-relief policy.
"We plan to build a reservoir to solve the problem of water shortage nearby..." Shuoyue Yasujia pointed to the people working in a huge depression in front and said, "Our plan is to introduce the water source from the nearby river here, so that During the dry season, nearby farmland can also have water sources.”
Profik nodded. The "general person in charge" of the work-for-relief program is none other than the Kang family, the most experienced of them all. The location of this reservoir was approved by the Kang family after personal inspection. His talents are very trustworthy, and the terrain and distance from the river make the place very suitable for a reservoir.
"But be careful, it would be bad if you bring in contaminated water."
Profik was quite moved when he saw the hard working people.
Looking down from the hillside, countless people of Wano are like hard-working ants, carrying out soil and stones, gradually digging a huge hole in the originally flat ground.
But even though they worked so hard and everyone was sweating profusely, the progress of the project could still be considered very slow. Hard ground often requires a lot of shovels to destroy. Each person can only carry a small piece of soil with the backpack on his back at a time. If there are huge rocks, many people have to lift them together and place them on the logs. Push up the slope little by little.
According to the Kang family, it will take about a year and a half to complete the construction of the reservoir at this construction speed.
One and a half years sounds like a long time, but for building a reservoir, it is actually a very fast progress. Especially in the country of Wano, whether it is the manpower or machinery that can be mobilized, it is far inferior to the world in which Profik lived in his previous life. But the speed of building reservoirs is no slower than in previous lives.
Profik has also heard about the construction of reservoirs. Small reservoirs take two or three years to build, but large reservoirs often take more than ten years to build.
The reason why Wano Country is building reservoirs at such a fast pace is thanks to the extraordinary physical fitness and labor ability of the people in the pirate world.
"Mr. Kang, please pay attention to the workload arrangement and don't overwork everyone..."
"Don't worry, everyone is volunteering," Shigetsuki Yasuya said with a smile, "You and General Hiyori deprived those nobles of their land and property so that the people can obtain food through their own labor. Everyone is very grateful. Work The enthusiasm is very high!”
Profik nodded: "It's a shame to pay more attention to everyone's physical condition..."
"pity?"
"It's a pity that we don't have many ability users, otherwise the construction period could be accelerated a lot. If there are people with the ability of the Shasha Fruit, the Stone Fruit, and the Earth Fruit to help, I guess it can be completed quickly."
Many Devil Fruit abilities are very suitable for production and construction. If these Devil Fruit abilities are used more in production and construction, the productivity level of the Pirate World will probably take a huge leap.
Let’s just talk about the construction of the reservoir in front of us. If Crocodile can help, it is estimated that the excavation work can be completed in a few days. If there is Serka’s help, I’m afraid even the reinforcement work can be completed quickly. .
It is a pity that most of the powerful people in this world use their power to destroy rather than build.
The representative figure is still Lao Sha. That guy is deliberately trying to seize the country and threatens to find Hades even if he searches through Alabasta. In Profik's view, although his plan was brilliant, it was actually far inferior to his offer to help Alabasta build a canal system.
While becoming a national hero and accumulating immense reputation, he can also take the opportunity to see if Pluto is buried under the sands of Alabasta. Maybe, he could be transformed from the Shichibukai into "King Crocodile".
It seems that I need to find an opportunity to communicate this novel idea with the Sand Crocodile guy.
"I'm going to help everyone..."
Although it is not as easy to use as the genuine Shasha Fruit, the power of the Spirit Fruit to "make all your wishes come true" can also greatly speed up the construction of the reservoir.
He first asked the others to retreat, followed Crocodile's example, touched the ground with his hands, then imagined the ideal terrain in his mind, and began to activate his Devil Fruit abilities.
The ground cracked, earth and rocks were turned over, and trees were uprooted. In just a few minutes, Profic turned a large area of land upside down. In this way, it can at least help workers reduce the construction period by dozens of days.
"Profic, I have never seen a guy like you. What are you thinking in your head?"
Shuoyue Kangjia walked to Profik's side and asked.
It's not that he has never seen strong people, Kaido, Oden, Sukiyaki, Quinn, Jhin, he has seen all these characters, but no one is like Profic.
The Kang family once thought this was because Profik came from overseas, but during this time he also read many reports about strong overseas players from newspapers. He found that most powerful people overseas behaved similarly to Kaido - direct, simple, and rough, only caring about themselves and not considering the lives of the people at the bottom.
Profik, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He values the people and the grassroots, and is willing to invest more in "production and construction." This is not the style of pirates at all, or even the style of a "ruler". Sukiyaki, Oden, and even the Kang family themselves cannot do this.
Regarding Profic's style, the Kang family was happy, but also a little confused, and even worried.
Benefiting the country and benefiting the people is truly beneficial to the country and the people, but it makes people unpredictable. It always feels like he has other agendas.
Not only the Kang family, but also my old friend Sukiyaki has a similar feeling. On the contrary, "young people" such as Hiyori and the Red Scabbard Samurai seemed to be particularly supportive of his policies and worked enthusiastically. Asura Doji was a huge admirer of Profik, thinking that he had even surpassed Kozuki Oden.
"With your power, it is impossible for anyone to oppose you in Wano. Even if you do nothing, you are still better than Kaido and Orochi. The Kozuki clan will be grateful to you for helping to take back the country, and the people will be grateful to you for freeing them from terror. Rule, even nobles and wealthy merchants will be grateful to you. Why do you do so many things?"
For a pirate who is so keen on construction, it seems a bit out of place.
"Mr. Kang, perhaps most pirates and nobles do not produce anything but rely on their power or status to dominate. But the times will always move forward, and new forces will rise on this sea. People The call will be echoed by the times."
For a person with high consciousness like Shuoyue Kangjia, Profic is willing to explain more, "In my opinion, fairness, justice, peace, and prosperity are what this world should be like. Protect the weak and let this world be the way it is." Making the world a better place is the bounden duty of the 'strong'. I am lucky enough to have the power, so naturally I have to practice my ideas and build a new era."
"This can't be done just by shouting slogans. The world must be completely changed. I have a bold guess about the 'Blank Hundred Years', that is, the ancestors of the Tianlong people were once The dragon slayer, but as time went by, the dragon slayer eventually became an evil dragon."
"If we can't become good at construction and fundamentally change the world, then even if we eventually overthrow the world government and defeat the Celestial Dragons, it will just change the world to a new group of rulers. Only by completely changing the 'basis' can the world Only then can there be new hope.”
"The country of Wano is my 'testing ground'. This country is traditional, conservative, and stubborn, with a large number of feudal remnants. It has also been ruled by pirates for a long time. If such a country can be changed, then I will have enough Reasons to believe things will be different.”
"Your goal is really different... You are obviously a pirate, but you are doing things like a builder."
"What? You don't regret it, do you?" Profik joked, "But it's too late to regret it. Wano has already boarded the pirate ship and will never get off again."
Shuoyue Kangjia shook his head: "Your 'understanding' of this world is indeed a system of its own, and what you do is indeed beneficial to the country and the people."
The world is too big for the Kang family to control and they don't care. As long as Wano Country gets better day by day, that is enough for him.
After seeing the project construction, Profic decided to visit the factory again.
Currently, some factories in Wano, especially those with less pollution, have reopened. The products produced are still mainly weapons.
It is too difficult and unnecessary to achieve "conversion".
In the world of pirates, there are constant wars, and weapons are absolute hard currency. Under Kaido's management, Wano's factories are large-scale, low-cost, and of high quality, and have obvious competitive advantages in the weapons market. For a long time, Wano had to rely on weapons to trade food with other countries.
It's just that unlike guys like Doflamenco who specialize in making war fortunes, Profic chooses to trade with relatively "responsible" countries like Alabasta and Fishman Island, rather than those who expect military adventures. The country has a moral bottom line.
Moreover, Profik will not exploit workers like Kaido and Orochi, but will give them sufficient wages and freedom.
So everyone's enthusiasm for work is pretty good.
In addition to Profic, there is another big shot who is also running around Wano.
That is Princess Otohime.
