v2 Chapter 141: Why is it so poor? (1/2)
As the carriage continued to move forward, Xu also found that the natural resources of the Principality of Constantine were too rich.
Not only are all kinds of tropical fruit trees scattered on both sides of the road like money, Xu Yi has seen all the way, actually found a lot of coffee trees and cocoa trees, and even more importantly, there are overwhelming rubber trees!
Seeing this scene, Xu Yilian wondered why all the tropical plants distributed around the earth were all grown in this part of the Principality of Constantine, only to be shocked and confused.
With such a rich natural resources, why is the Stading Congress so poor?
Before coming to the Principality of Stading, whether in the books that introduced the geography of the mainland, or from the description of the Principality of Constantine, or even the introduction of the Anglo-American who is most familiar with the Principality of Constantine, The same message is revealed, that is, the Principality of Constantine is a country with extremely weak national power and very poor nationality.
Before coming to the Principality of Stading, Xu was already ready to see a country that was always devastated by the hurricane and tsunami.
But he did not think that the land of the Principality of Constantine was not only poor, but even more abundant than he had imagined.
Such a rich natural resource is simply the most precious gift that God has given them!
If placed on the earth, such a country may not become rich, but in any case, it should not be described as poverty.
However, along the way, Xu also saw through the window the scattered ordinary people of the Principality of Constantine, from the tattered clothes on them and the equally ruined wooden houses that lived. Their lives are indeed very poor.
This makes Xu also very irrational.
Have such natural resources. Even because of the level of transportation on the mainland of Sainz. This makes it impossible for these resources to be shipped out to make money, but these people are not so poor that they are so poor?
With such doubts, Xu also began to shift his attention from the rich plants outside the observation window to the people of the Principality of Stading.
When the carriage finally entered a place that looked like some towns, Xu also jumped out of the carriage and glanced at the situation in front of him, finally finally realized.
Although the people of the Principality of Constantine have abundant natural resources, perhaps it is because they have too rich natural resources that will lead them to be so poor.
This reason may sound strange. But it is a very reasonable analysis.
While still on the earth, Xu also visited many subtropical and tropical countries, such as the Indo-China Peninsula and many countries on the Indian Peninsula, because of his involvement in the field work of construction machinery.
In those countries, he found that they have one thing in common, that is, people there are lazy.
The same project construction may take only two or three months to complete in the Tian Dynasty, but if it is placed in those countries, the issue of ** and the government's inefficiency will not be discussed, simply because the local workers are lazy. It is enough to delay the project to half a year or even a year.
Because of this problem, many engineering directors of the company complained to Xu in private.
Obviously only need to learn how to operate those construction machinery. Their job is to easily sit in the engineering mechanical operation to complete, but the workers are too lazy to learn even the most basic operations.
And if they are allowed to do work that requires heavy physical strength, they are even more lazy.
Because the local workers' work efficiency is too low, delaying too much engineering progress, many engineering companies even spend a lot of money to directly recruit a large number of workers from the Tian Dynasty to carry out engineering construction.
Although the contract with the local government must ensure that a certain percentage of local workers are recruited, these engineering companies prefer to spend more money to raise these local workers, but they do not expect local workers to work efficiently.
Xu also thought about the expressions of the complaints of the heads of the engineering companies at that time, as well as the local conditions seen in those countries. In contrast, the situation was naturally made.
The reason why the Principality of Constantine is poor, apart from other reasons, I am afraid that the most important reason is because the people here are too lazy.
Looking at the entrance from this town, although there are a lot of people, whether you are walking on the street, sitting on the corner of the street, or simply lying on the ground and basking in the sun, everyone spreads from the face to the whole body. A lazy atmosphere.
It’s as if they haven’t encountered any catastrophe, they are definitely not willing to work harder and do something more.
Although there are a few small stalls in the street that are doing business, but for a long time no one has come to patronize, and the boss of the booth seems to be not very concerned about this situation, let alone screaming. Even just sleep with their eyes closed!
Xu also thought about it and found that he could understand the mentality of these ordinary people.
The earth may be reluctant to say the life of the people, and ordinary people have the hope of climbing up.
However, the social form on the mainland of Sainz is still very backward. The class concept here is deeply rooted, and ordinary people will never think of rebelling against the nobility.
