Paul pouted into the classroom and asked, "How did 'they' behave?"
Erin asked strangely: "Who is it?"
"It's the women who were rescued from pirates."
"Oh, you said them."
Speaking of this, the female consultant became very angry.
"Those scumbags are really disgusting, Earl, do you know? Some of them were even taken captive to the island when they were still young, and then they were forced to do that disgusting thing. You should Hang those pirates, none of them are innocent."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and put on a very worried tone: "As for the performance of these poor people, to be honest, they are not good. Due to the long-term imprisonment and lack of life skills of ordinary people, those who Those who have been robbed even have difficulty in daily speaking and communication."
Paul got a little dizzy when he heard this: "Is it so serious? Really, when will I start working in this case? Wouldn't I have to raise them for a long time in vain before that?"
Irene exploded when she heard it: "Paul Greiman, do you still have any humanity? They have all been reduced to this state, and you are still thinking about how to squeeze them."
Then she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was her employer, so it was really inappropriate to say it in front of him, but she didn't intend to take back the words, so she glared at Paul angrily.
Paul was speechless, he was really an ignorant noble lady, although she looked cute when she was angry.
He knew that the nobles in those wealthy areas were keen on engaging in charitable relief, especially those wives who had nothing to do all day long, and they liked to pass their boring days by satisfying the so-called "moral superiority", but He didn't even know that the family's money was exploited from these qióngren, as if it was only natural that he could squander money at will.
Originally, I wanted to use hard words such as "I don't have extra money for charity" and "He who doesn't work will not eat", but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it, and I didn't care about her.
Paul spread his hands and said: "The way I expressed it just now may be ambiguous. But this can't change the reality, Dias Xiaojie, maybe for the family you came from, it doesn't matter if you spend a little money to support a few idlers But for Arda now, every expenditure we make is carefully calculated."
Irene did not refute this time, because she had never seen such a "poor" nobleman as Paul. Of course, "poor" refers to his personal life.
Although in the past six months, many "factories" have been opened by the government and the private sector, which have greatly increased the fiscal revenue in the territory, but after working with Paul for so long, Irene can more or less understand that Paul's army It is a gold-swallowing behemoth. Whether it is the army or the navy, it needs a lot of money to maintain it. This weird lord is really willing to spend money on his soldiers.
Recently Hansel, Minister of Agriculture of the Government Affairs Council, went south to the capital and gathered refugees along the way. These people needed to eat and drink, and the lords along the way would not help. They are again a huge expense.
"But you can't just drive them out like this! They have no skills and can only..."
Erin couldn't bear to say the next thing.
Paul suddenly thought of a good idea: "Look at this, most of my soldiers are single, how about giving them to the soldiers to be their wives? They can still enjoy the treatment of military members."
Just when he was complacent, he didn't expect this "good idea" to hurt Irene deeply. You must know that she ran out because she opposed her father's forced arrangement of her marriage.
what! This world is so unfair to women.
"Earl Greiman!"
Advisor Xiaojie's face quickly turned cold.
"Even if you are a lord, it is too much. Don't forget that you said before that you will not treat people rescued from pirates as slaves."
Then she raised a hand very solemnly and said: "I... Betty Dias swears to the Father in heaven that they will memorize all the knowledge in the "Handbook" and be able to recognize the words on it, so that they can become a family. A qualified so-called 'medical staff' in your mouth. "
Paul was surprised, really, but in terms of thinking, why was she taking it so seriously.
But it's a good thing that she's suddenly so energetic.
"Then I will trouble you, Dias Xiaojie."
But I heard the female consultant continue to say: "Compared to what I just said, there is another problem that needs to be solved."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"Discrimination! Ubiquitous discrimination! In view of their previous experience, many people pointed at them behind their backs, and even added fuel, describing them as depraved jìnǚ."
Paul shrugged: "It seems that this problem can only be solved slowly with time."
Seeing that he was not paying attention, Irene was quite dissatisfied: "No, there is a more effective way. As the lord, you can issue a decree to prohibit these gossips, and severely punish those who like to gossip."
"Oh... Betty, you're so naive."
Before Irene finished speaking, Paul covered his forehead and shook his head again and again.
"This will only have the opposite effect. Deliberately removing barriers will only create more barriers. Once the decree you mentioned comes out, their situation will be even more difficult. If they cannot behave as normal people should, if They cannot play the value that normal people should have, people will always look at them with colored glasses, and prejudice and suspicion will only become more and more serious."
Irene was speechless What the earl said seemed to make sense, so she had no choice but to ask, "Then why don't you just watch it like this?"
Paul thought for a while, and said: "The army needs its own independent health system. After they finish their studies, I will arrange them in the military camp and set up a separate establishment. There is closed management, which can reduce contact with ordinary residents. , the rest can only depend on time."
Irene suddenly became alert: "You don't want to continue to implement the 'good idea' that you just thought of? Besides, there are a bunch of big men in the military camp. Are you not afraid of what happens? Or is it that you are happy to see it? Made it?"
Paul said angrily: "The soldiers under me are not as bad as you imagined. They are different from the soldiers you know before. The army is particularly strict about this matter. They dare not risk it." The risk of losing your head is random."
In Arda's army, qiangjiān was a very serious crime, punishable up to the death penalty. In fact, all military forces prohibit this kind of crime on the surface, it is nothing more than strict enforcement, and the Arda army must be the most strict enforcement army in the world.
Of course, the physical needs of single soldiers also need to be taken care of, and Paul has no ability to make them behave like Puritans, so it is not forbidden for soldiers to visit brothels during their vacations.
Erin snorted and said, "I hope so."
Then he turned around and went back to the room.
Paul sighed to Cecil, who was standing by the side, watching his nose and mind, and said nothing: "Women are really difficult to deal with."
Only then did the intelligence director say with deep sympathy, "They always have privileges, especially a beautiful woman like Diashi Xiaojie."
"You're right. Let's go find Morrison."
