He gave a simple speech and then left the stage. The audience was thinking about it. Although it was brief, it made sense and had depth. People who knew his pseudonym Adam understood it clearly. As a great writer, this kind of speech should be easy for him.
In fact, Noah's palms were sweaty. Fortunately, there were many literary masters and seniors, so he could borrow some of their knowledge. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed. These ungrateful guys, why didn't they notify him in advance about this kind of speech? It was a close call.
After the opening speech, Yixiao started working according to the classes that had been divided in advance, and Noah and the others could then go home.
On the way, Noah and Tiger discussed the departure time and went back to pack. When he returned to his room, he found that Robin had already packed Noah's things and could just throw them into the space.
Robin will not go to Beihai this time, because there is no teacher for the cultural courses in the recruit training class, and Robin is currently filling in for the class. In terms of actual cultural level, Robin is higher than Noah, and his degree is several heads higher than Noah.
Robin is O'Hara's official doctorate student, while Noah is O'Hara's librarian. The gap is obvious at a glance.
This batch of teaching materials was all compiled and edited by Robin. She was the first person to understand the teaching materials. She had followed Noah for many years, from the initial simple action plan, to the later sea survey, to the transformation of the Grand Line, and the slave liberation movement, she participated in everything.
Robin was just overshadowed by Noah's brilliance. After separating from Noah, people discovered that the little girl who had always followed Noah also had her own brilliance.
After a while, Robin went to the classroom with the textbooks. Watching Robin leave home, Noah suddenly felt that his child had grown up, and felt lost like an old father.
After thinking for a while, I let go of all distractions. Since we are all working hard for our careers, I have to work harder.
When we arrived at the dock, we saw Tiger was already waiting there. There was a reason why we took Tiger to the North Sea. When we first attacked Marijoa to rescue the slaves, it was Tiger who brought Jinbei to rescue the slaves inside Marijoa.
It was at that time that Taizog was rescued and followed the ship to the Calm Belt Island. Then he returned to his hometown in the North Sea through the channels of the Revolutionary Army. So Taige and the Revolutionary Army owed him a favor. Noah thought it would be easier to talk about things with Taige.
As for Noah himself, he killed a CP0 in the periphery, was beaten by Akainu, and finally was carried back on a stretcher. There was no highlight moment for people to remember, which was very uncomfortable. He was the one who was beaten the worst in that battle.
The way to the North Sea is naturally to take the Traveler. Tiger usually stays in the cabin or goes to the sea to relax. His body is too eye-catching and he is easily recognized on the sea.
After the ship entered the North Sea, it encountered several groups of pirates. The security in the North Sea is really bad. It is chaotic, very chaotic, and different from the South Sea.
There are no strong pirates or evil forces in the South Sea, so the ruling class headed by the country oppresses the people in an orderly manner. The North Sea is more complicated, with many powerful villains. For example, the Don Quixote family, the Vinsmoke family and other forces, these forces have their own rules and will not pay attention to the national forces in the North Sea.
Both families have certain backgrounds. The Vinsmoke family ruled the Germa Kingdom. Vinsmoke Judge led Germa 66 and triggered the "Kill the Four Kingdoms of the North Sea" event, beheading the heads of the four kingdoms of the North Sea. And the country itself is also recognized by the World Government. The technology is very advanced.
The uniqueness of the Don Quixote family lies mainly in the surname Don Quixote. The head of the family, Don Quixote Doflamingo, was originally a Celestial Dragon. Because his father gave up his identity, he wandered in the outside world. After a series of events, he could never return to Marijoa.
These two special forces are entrenched in the North Sea, so the environment of the North Sea is very harsh, the natural law of survival of the fittest is extremely obvious, and life for ordinary people is even more difficult.
This is the current situation in the North Sea.
Chapter 104: Capitalists Emerge
The sea current rolled, and another pirate ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Tiger.
"Alas, this is the nth batch. How come it's more troublesome than the Grand Line? Is the Don Quixote family crazy? If they like to mark out territory so much, why don't they go to the Grand Line?"
Seeing Noah going crazy, Tiger in the sea was helpless. The Don Quixote family is currently expanding wildly in the North Sea, and many pirate groups have been driven away from their original territory. Those with a little strength have gone to the Grand Line, and those without strength are running around in the cracks.
The waters between Germa 66, the Don Quixote Family, and some of the North Sea powers have become completely chaotic and disordered areas, with pirates fighting frantically just to grab a little space.
I regret coming here by boat. It's really not easy for intelligence agents in the North Sea. In this situation, we can still find information about Taizog. Let's increase the funding a little bit.
After many robberies, Noah gave up on talking to the pirates and started to clean them up one by one with his sword. Finally, he came to a small city.
Walking into the city with Tiger, I found that everyone in the city had numb expressions and was in a hurry. They didn't even react much when they saw the 6-meter-tall fish man. It was so strange. Moreover, the people in this city were very poor, and the temperament of poverty was revealed. Women didn't even have any decorative accessories, and men were all thin.
According to intelligence, Tyzog's base is here. Isn't this guy a business genius? Besides, the construction of this city is also very good, and many buildings show the glory of the past.
For just 100 Baileys, Noah found out what happened here.
It turned out that two years ago, a man who had been missing for many years returned to this city. He looked gentle and had green hair. Some old people recognized him as the missing Taizog. Taizog came back here and found an opportunity to start a business career. He was indeed a business genius. In just one year, he made this small town the richest island in the surrounding area.
Everyone followed him and became rich. At that time, he was a hero in the city. What is puzzling is that during this year, while leading everyone to make money, Taizog was also exercising crazily. He changed from a gentle and thin young man to a strong young man. His appearance became more and more luxurious, and he also hired a bunch of thugs.
The people at that time did not care about Tyzog's transformation. They were all calculating how much money they had earned and were blinded by money. Tyzog also advised everyone to build houses, build ships, and borrow money to invest in business projects. Because of the previous income, everyone was tempted.
Until Tyzog tore off the mask of disguise and used the loopholes in the business contract to sweep away everyone's money and even put them in debt. Those who couldn't pay back the debt had to use their houses and shops to pay off the debt.
When someone was about to take a risk, they found that Tyzog had already formed his own society. He also used money and goods to make friends with the nearby naval base. With the support of the government and the use of force, the people had no choice but to continue working for him to pay off his debts. It only took a moment for them to go from heaven to hell.
This is... a professional way of harvesting. But digging up the roots shows that this guy no longer cares about the small plates of these islands and has great ambitions.
While Noah was still observing, there was a commotion in the distance, and a sturdy, green-haired man with a ferocious face came over with a group of villains.
All passers-by who stood in his way were pushed away, and he was extremely arrogant.
Taizog is suddenly coming to the city today to see if there are any people who are lazy and not working. If they are unwilling to accept even the blessings, then he will use more ruthless means.
When I got to the intersection, I saw two figures standing there doing nothing. What should I do? The island does not support idlers. Idlers are not worthy of being my islanders.
"Hey, the two in front, why don't you work hard?"
Noah and Tiger turned around when they heard the sound.
He is the great benefactor of Marijoa! The 6-meter-tall red fishman recognized him at a glance. After all, it was Taige who smashed the cages and rescued the slaves in Marijoa. Noah next to him was also recognized, Mr. 50 billion Baileys. Taizog felt very complicated for a moment. He was grateful for seeing his benefactor, but he was also afraid that the other party would tell him that he had been a slave. He didn't know what to say.
"Would you like us to sit down for a while?"
It felt a bit strange to stand there and not say anything, so Noah had to speak.
"Okay, okay, this way please."
The younger brothers under Tyzog are also very discerning and know who to offend and who not to offend. For those who are engaged in economics, the people around them may not be smooth-talking, but they are not stupid either.
Arriving at Tyzog's luxurious castle, Noah and Tyzog sat quietly in the living room, and Tyzog said nothing.
In fact, he was already panicked in his heart. At that time, he was not the Golden Emperor later, but just a black-hearted businessman in a small city. Although he had not committed murder or arson, he was not a good person either. The arrival of these two righteous men in front of him should not be a good thing.
Of course, he did not ask anyone to notify the Navy and the World Government. First, his own identity could not stand up to scrutiny. He was a former slave of the Celestial Dragons, and it was unclear how he would deal with him after he was discovered. Second, he was also a man who had seen the world and knew that someone who could attack Marijoa twice and still thrive was not someone he could afford to offend.
"Excuse me, why are you here in your busy schedule? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Noah looked at Taizog and thought for a while. It was better than he expected. Now that he had just stepped into the threshold of being a black-hearted capitalist, he could still be saved. He just needed to be reformed.
"Why do we have to go to this extent? Isn't it good to lead these residents to common prosperity?" Noah was a little curious.
Taizog knew that Noah must have learned something from the residents.
“In the beginning, I also wanted to change our lives through everyone’s joint efforts, but after they became rich, they did things that were even more outrageous than you know. The darkness of human nature is not only in Marijoa, it’s not much different in the North Sea.
They made deals around me, took my shares, and caused me all kinds of accidents. These have happened. I just outsmarted them and won what I deserved. "
Tyzog said lightly. Noah still believed this, the good and evil of human nature is not so absolute. However, what Tyzog did was not as simple as he said.
After all, primitive accumulation of capital is defined as the historical process by which monetary wealth is rapidly concentrated in the hands of a few, primarily through the separation of direct producers from the means of production, mainly through violence.
There are many different means involved.
Taizog shut up after he finished speaking, and there was no need to tell more about his psychological process, not even the benefactor who saved him. Only one girl had ever walked into his heart, but unfortunately, she died.
Her name is——
Chapter 105 Knowledge changes destiny
"Stella."
With a bang, Taizog smashed the marble table top with one punch. He didn't care about the blood on his hand and stared at Noah with a ferocious expression. Not many people knew about this kind of thing.
"How did you know!"
"I found out by accident. Don't you hate the Celestial Dragons? Using money to control you and doing the same thing as the people who hurt you, isn't that a betrayal?"
"What do you know! There is nothing that money can't buy, and people without money can't do anything!"
“I only know that your understanding of money is still too superficial, your understanding of value is too primitive, and you are still ignorant of the nature of the world.
Stella's tragedy shouldn't have happened in a normal world, and Marijoa's dungeon shouldn't have existed either. Do you understand? You don't understand. "
Noah, who was in mocking mode, ranted. He really looked down upon Tyzog's subsequent choices. His beloved girl was bought away, leaving a psychological trauma. But after he was rescued, he did something even more outrageous, and even cooperated with the Celestial Dragons. He still wanted to control everything? He was just controlled by desire.
So what if you have the Gold-Gold Fruit? If you control gold, you want to control the sea? You’re dreaming!
The living room fell silent again. All the thugs who rushed in after hearing the noise were knocked down by the Conqueror's Haki. The only sound that could be heard at the scene was Taizog's heavy breathing.
"If you want to know everything, come to me. If you want to prevent tragedies like this from happening again in the future, come to me. I'm staying on a boat at the dock for the next three days."
After saying that, he left a few books and left.
Taizog sat quietly in the living room. The smiling girl in his memory had become a little blurry. Stella, did I really do something wrong?
After a long time, he picked up the books on the table.
Capital, National Economics
Open the first book, Preface 1, Cost Price and Profit...
He had only skimmed through it at first, but soon he was absorbed in it. He had a very good affinity with knowledge related to economics and money. With some terms and formulas, combined with a certain amount of experience and context, he was able to understand them on his own. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Although there were still many things he didn't understand, the parts he understood were enough to make him lose his mind.
No wonder he said I didn’t understand what economics was. It was indeed superficial before.
Not to mention Tyzog who was studying hard, back on the Voyager, Noah and Tyger started working hard again. Job content: cleaning the deck, maintaining the ship, replenishing supplies, cooking, washing dishes. These things show that even if the two people have a combined reward of 60 billion Baileys, they still have to work, which is embarrassing for the strong men on the sea.
Whenever Robin is not around, Noah will miss her. The Flower-Flower Fruit ranks first in the household life category. The only fruit that can compete with it is the Surgery Fruit, which is the most preferred fruit in the household life category.
They stayed on the boat until the third day. In the cabin, Tiger asked Noah, "Will Tyzog really come?"
"He will definitely come." Noah said firmly.
"So sure?"
"Yes, if he doesn't come I will tie him up and bring him here."
"Is this okay?" Tiger was speechless.
"Why not? Leaving him here is like walking on a road of no return. The abyss of greed is endless. If we don't interrupt it at the beginning, we won't be able to pull it back later. Look, it's here."
Noah's observation Haki had sensed Taizog's arrival. When he came to the deck, he saw him walking over with those books in his arms. The shape of the books was strange, and his eye sockets were black.
"Ah~~~" He yawned first.
"How many days have you not slept?"
"3 days."
Well, Taizog, who is still of average strength, is not qualified to stay up late. Staying up late is something only the strong can do.
"I choose to join you."
"Okay... um?"
Tyzog was a smart man. When Noah and Tiger came here, he knew that they must have something to ask him. With his current wealth, he would definitely not take these two people seriously.
Then there is only him. His strength is average, and his influence is very small compared to those big forces, so what matters is his brain and economic means, which is the only thing he is proud of at this time.
After reading the book left by Noah, he was more certain of this. He knew he had no choice in criticizing capital, the formulation and operation of social economy, and their action program. Because what he had done before would basically lead to his death.
I can only say that this kind of solicitation is very hardcore, and it is also my own fault that I became a black-hearted capitalist. Fortunately, no more serious crimes occurred, otherwise there would not even be solicitation, and I would have been put on trial directly.
Such a wise man who knows the current situation is rare in the ocean. It saved Noah a lot of saliva.
"And what about your property?"
"You get what you earn, but only the normal labor income will be returned. The part earned through me will not be returned. The extra part will be sold as liquid assets and sent to a secret base of mine. It will be used as funds for future activities.
I also gave severance packages to all the recruits, and those who wanted to leave could do so. I collected all the evidence of the crimes of the few people with criminal records and sent them to the nearby naval base.
As for the corrupt personnel in the Navy, here is the list, and it is up to you how you want to deal with them."
He thought very comprehensively and acted quickly. He handled everything in just three days. He is a talent, a real talent. As long as his thinking does not slip, he must be reused. I believe Long will be very happy.
"So can I ask some questions now?"
As he spoke, Taizog opened Capital.
It was a real headache. When copying these books, Noah made a lot of localized revisions, which gave him a headache. The revision of hardcore books is much more difficult than that of literary books. It has to be logical and in line with the language environment. It is too difficult.
Now there is still a good student who wants extra lessons from the teacher, so come on, and let me show you the power of the revolutionary light.
"Come here, there is a special classroom on the ship."
Then he walked into the classroom, and Taizog was a little curious about the iron bars nailed on the windows. It was not designed like this on ordinary ships. Some tables and chairs showed obvious signs of violent damage, and there were also marks of pulling on the ground.
"This was done by the previous student. For a while, he had been wanting to rush out and jump into the sea, so we had no choice but to seal it." As he said this, the door behind him creaked shut.
"Then let's start the make-up classes."
duang~~Another pile of books.
