Chapter 161

"Children under the age of 12 can just ask their parents to spank their buttocks, but it's not easy. They will check on the spot, at least they have to be swollen~"

But the old man's answer made the middle-aged man smile knowingly: "Haha, some brats have to spank their butts, and they can't do without spanking~"

If you are over 12 years old, you can’t be considered a child, especially the Pirate World is not an earth where individual differences are not so big. If you have better talent, you can even beat the average adult. Parents may not be able to do corporal punishment even if they want to , can only be disciplined by the government for them.

But for the age group of 12 to 16 years old, it is too early for you to say that you are an adult.

Therefore, the law of Wan Guo adopted a compromise solution. After committing a crime, the life expectancy is also deducted, but it is lighter than that of adults. Generally, it starts from 2 years instead of 5 years.

The middle-aged man also nodded after hearing this. Although he has never brought up children, when he led the scientific research team, he often had headaches for the dudes, scumbags, or dudes + scumbags in the team, and he was not cruel to some people. Therefore, although I still felt that the laws of the nations were too strict, I did not raise any objections in front of the old man, a local resident.

When it comes to collecting life expectancy, the old man felt that he had to remind this "young man" with a good attitude: "Young man, are you here for a trip, or are you going to stay for a long time?"

"Is there anything I should pay attention to?" The middle-aged man immediately understood the meaning of the old man and asked.

"For travel, follow this road to the fork and turn left, you can find a hotel." The old man chatted happily, and his attitude became more enthusiastic than at the beginning:

"And if you plan to stay, I will help you apply for housing now, no money."

"Free housing? You can apply for it when you first arrive? You can move in after signing the letter? There are two rooms and one living room for single applicants?" The middle-aged man was really shocked. Is this really a den of pirates? ?

And the old man’s next addition subverted the cognition of the middle-aged people: “Not only is the housing free here, but you don’t need to spend money on food and drink, unless you have to eat high-end food that is carefully cooked with natural ingredients.”

"By the way, it is said that it will be completely free from next month. His Royal Highness Peros, the lord of this island and the Minister of Candy, said in the announcement that he has been able to use his ability to manufacture cotton and cotton cloth in large quantities. The problem of raw materials has been resolved." solved"

The middle-aged people are fascinated by it, and all the necessities of life can be obtained for free. Don’t they even need to make a living?

Then everyone can only do what they want, no wonder the old man looked so idle before!
Compared with the embarrassment of the people in most countries in the New World who have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies, even if the citizens of Wan Guo need to hand over part of their lifespan, they are undoubtedly much happier than the former.
The old man thought so too, and he is still proud of his two correct decisions:

"Ten years ago, I made up my mind to sell the last bit of my family property and come here. Since then, my family has never suffered from hunger or cold. Now I have several grandchildren."

"During the war with the navy last year, I also insisted on staying. Later, His Royal Highness Mu Si said that since we people are willing to share weal and woe with the family, the family should not treat us badly. From now on, our whole family only needs to pay the soul tax once a year. , unlike those guys who ran away before and came back with a shy face recently, they have to pay once every six months."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who had long been curious about the soul tax of all nations simply took the opportunity to ask how the soul tax was collected, and the old man's answer surprised him again.

"Only pay for one month at a time? That's really not much. If you don't pay even one cent, it's not a loss."

The middle-aged man knows the hardships of the people. He knows that in this world, ordinary people can earn money if they live to be 60 years old. In the new world where the living environment is particularly harsh, it is even difficult to be 50 years old. One lifespan can live without worrying about food and clothing until the end of life, which is definitely a big profit.

What's more, it's actually not as much as one-seventh, let alone those new immigrants, even children born and raised in Wanuo, now they don't start to pay soul tax until they are 16 years old, and there are Many people are exempt.
"Can I be exempted from working for the BIG MOM Pirates?" The middle-aged man is not surprised by this, because "blood tax" is too common in this world where the system of enfeoffment is still prevailing.

But later I learned that this pirate group actually recruited a large number of talents that had nothing to do with combat and navigation, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of the middle-aged man.

Among them, occupations that serve "eating" such as chefs and gardeners are easy to think of. After all, Charlotte Lingling's reputation for gluttony is known to everyone in the New World.

However, talents in science and technology are also openly recruited, and they seem to attach great importance to the conditions, which can't help but surprise the middle-aged people
At the same time as the surprise, the number one scientist in the world, who has not yet decided where to go next, was also slightly moved, "Why don't you apply for a job?"

Knowing that the "young man" in front of him is actually a scientist, the old man is not convinced. Scientists are very scarce in this world. How can it be so easy to meet one?
But for the sake of having a good chat before, the old man persuaded Vegapunk, whose pseudonym is "Baker", to say:
"Don't brag, although His Royal Highness Peros, the Candy Minister, is kind and generous, but whoever dares to lie to him will die a miserable death!"

"Aren't I bragging to you?" Vegapunk laughed and didn't confront the old man.

After thinking about it again, this genius scientist also realized that it seems better not to reveal his abilities for the time being, otherwise, if the family acts as domineering as the rumors say, and he might lose his freedom after attracting attention, then why not He was captured by the Navy at the beginning!

Then Vegapunk brought the topic to Charlotte Perospero, who is said to be leading the Wanguo Technology team. This may be his future investor, more precisely, the plenipotentiary representative of the investor. Clearing up his temper is naturally necessary.

As a result, the insidious and cruel Charlotte Perospero was actually praised by the old man as being like a Buddha, although the evidence seems to be quite convincing.
"Did you see children licking the facilities in those children's playgrounds before? It is allowed to do so in this candy island. If it is another island, destroying public facilities is a serious crime!"

When the old man said this, he sincerely admired: "Because His Royal Highness Peros can redo all the buildings and facilities on this island in one day, and he has never done anything for the people of us on the island. Too much trouble!"

 Thanks to the book friend "Chasing the Light Messenger EX" for the reward and the monthly ticket, by the way, I would like to ask for a recommendation ticket ^_^
