Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1785 A War Without Winners (Two Hundred and Thirty-Five)

The things discussed at the meeting spread quietly among the residents of Avalon. People who heard the news were surprised to find that Avalon could provide so many jobs for everyone.

This made those who were originally worried about their employment issues relieved.

After all, after they finished building Avalon, they couldn't find a suitable job, which was definitely something they couldn't accept.

Once there was this guarantee, everyone would naturally feel at ease.

However, this also caused many people to start distracting themselves from studying their future jobs and no longer focusing on the construction of Avalon.

Such problems were not something that Shanna could easily change, which made her feel extremely distressed. Although she reminded everyone more than once about the importance of building Avalon first, she still couldn't stop people's own little thoughts.

To put it bluntly, this is the sequelae of working for free.

Especially when some people have already started working, it is easy to cause an imbalance in everyone's mentality.

People are like this.

Fortunately, Shanna, who was relaxed, had expected this.

So after giving them a few special reminders, she just left them alone and concentrated on writing her own meeting report.

As for the reminder?

If it was really useful, they would have done it long ago.

"People can't teach others, only things can teach others. Once is enough."

These were Albert's original words, but Shanna doubted that once was not enough, and things proved this point.

The residents of Avalon, who were not supervised and managed by anyone, had a pitifully low work efficiency. Even the architect who was in charge of directing them didn't understand why. After discussing with Shanna, he directly asked them to stop working.

As for Shanna herself, she was still writing the meeting report. After confirming that there was no problem again and again, she copied it and posted it on the bulletin board of Avalon.

This meeting report said two things:

Avalon can still last for two months, which means that it can still provide free food for everyone for two months. They must ensure that Avalon can operate normally after two months.

The follow-up is a very detailed list of occupations and job requirements. Interested parties can go to Shanna to register in advance.

The positions provided by Avalon are naturally good and bad. After carefully studying the announcement, everyone rushed to find Shanna to register, so as not to let others grab the good positions.

But when they communicated with Shanna about their expected employment issues, they were surprised to find that this was just a pie in the sky.

To put it nicely, your job positions are still in Avalon's development plan!

This result made many people dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

Some people even thought that Shanna was playing a trick on them, but the latter just calmly took out the announcement and read the above paragraph to everyone.

Especially Shanna's last sentence:

Do you still expect Albert to pay you a salary?

Don't be silly, even if he has more Galleons, it's not enough for you to share.

Well, now everyone finally figured out what was going on.

There are complaints, of course, but not as many as imagined.

Because the development plan that seemed to be a pie in the sky is indeed being realized one by one.

The only question is when her piece of pie can be baked.

Shanna said she didn't know.

Even if you want to work in the potion workshop of the witch beauty shop, you have to build the potion workshop first.

Also, even if everyone builds the workshop and wants to work in advance, Shanna will not pay them with Galleons.

Because the design of Avalon from the beginning is to let them pay themselves.

If you don’t earn Galleons yourself, how can you pay yourself?

Only by working for yourself can you mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm.

It can also avoid everyone messing up as much as possible.

In Albert’s words:

You need to put pressure on them and let them understand the current situation.

After all, if you mess up, you will mess up your own and everyone’s jobs.

Don’t expect anyone to clean up their mess.

However, there are still other problems.

Once a problem occurs in one of the links, it is easy to cause a chain reaction, but there is nothing you can do about it. There is no so-called perfection in this world.

The anxiety of the group was suppressed again, but Shanna felt that this was not a long-term solution, because she also realized that the residents of Avalon had already developed a resistance to the construction of Avalon.

She had no good solution for this, so she could only go to Albert to discuss it.

"You can announce that some construction will be suspended or postponed, and then directly cancel some welfare benefits temporarily. Anyway, just explain everything to them clearly and let them choose for themselves. We just need to respect the result of their choice."

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

"Will it be disbanded directly like this?" Shanna was a little uneasy.

"That's okay. Staying in Avalon to work is a welfare benefit for them. If they disband, it will naturally be gone." Albert comforted, "The situation is not as bad as you think."

"I find that you like to say such things more and more."

"The carrot hanging in front of the donkey is almost useless, so if you want them to continue working, you have to whip them." Albert sighed softly, "This is the sequelae of letting them live too comfortably. People are more humble, and often they have to be whipped hard before they are willing to move."

"That's not what you should say."

Although Sana agreed with this from the bottom of her heart, she still reminded him.

"I'm just talking to you." Albert laughed at himself, but that is an indisputable fact. Sometimes you seriously think that what you do is good for them, but who knows if others will hate you.

So, we should respect the fate of others and let them decide their own future. Even if it is a pile of shit, we should respect their own choices.

If it were the previous life, Albert felt that it would be highly unlikely that something similar would happen.

Sure enough, they lived too well. Only those who have not experienced social torture would have such unrealistic fantasies.

But it doesn't matter. At most, we can pause for a while and let reality teach everyone a lesson, and people will naturally wake up.

So, Shanna spread the word.

Everyone was dissatisfied with this, but it was useless to find Shanna. She was just an acting administrator. If Avalon could not operate normally, she would not get paid on the surface.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They all realized that once Avalon could not circulate inside and outside, all the benefits in front of them would disappear like a dream bubble.

Avalon would also completely lose its glory and would be no different from other wizard villages.

But would it still be Avalon?

Of course, there is also a way to delay it, that is, to start paying management fees.

After some discussion, everyone temporarily set five galleons and asked everyone to sign on it.

Although this approach is indeed unsatisfactory, there are not many people who oppose it, because only after they really start working can they understand what kind of place Avalon is.

Moreover, they did refuse to work for Avalon and agreed to take out a sum of money to temporarily postpone Avalon's benefits for a few months so that Avalon can continue.

It can also be regarded as a preparation for paying management fees in the future.

After all, as long as you have a normal mind, you will know that high benefits cannot come out of thin air.

Moreover, taxation was an important part of power, and power was important to governing the people of Avalon. Even though Albert never paid attention to it and never used it, it still belonged to him.
