Outside the village, the afterglow of the setting sun splashed on the earth, and the farmlands were lined up in an orderly manner.
Various crops were planted in the fields, including grains, vegetables, and fruits, and they were all classified and connected to each other in an orderly manner.
It was not the season for crops to mature, but they had already taken shape. Various fruit trees were hung with small, green fruits, and looked prosperous.
Seeing them looking at the fields, the receptionist turned around and asked with a smile,"How does it look here?"
"Both the development level and the overall planning are very good. Zhang Lie also nodded in approval.
"If the whole country is like this, then for an agricultural country, there are few places in the ocean that can surpass this place."
Having said that, Zhang Lie didn't believe that this island could really achieve this level.
But the receptionist's answer surprised him a little:"Of course, the whole country is like this. The most basic principle we implement is equality and order."
"Equality and order? Order is hard to say, but I don’t believe in equality. Zhang Lie doesn’t think the civilized world can achieve equality.
"Absolute equality is impossible, but relative equality is possible. The receptionist immediately retorted, but there was no dissatisfaction in his attitude.
"Let's see more." Faced with this attitude, it would be impolite for Zhang Lie to argue.
The crowd walked all the way to the village. On the way, the farmers walking to the village sometimes turned around to look, with a little curiosity in their eyes, but then turned back silently, and no one spoke.
Zhang Lie felt that they were like a group of nobles. The common people seemed to not live in the same world as them and had no way to communicate.
Although these farmers did not speak, there was no fear in their eyes, which made Zhang Lie believe the receptionist's words a little bit.
"Maybe we can really achieve relative equality." Zhang Lie thought to himself.
As soon as he approached the village, he found the same characteristics as the farmland. The styles of various houses were almost the same, but the sizes were slightly different. The receptionist introduced:"The house styles here are uniformly planned, and the houses are allocated according to the number of people in each family to ensure that everyone has the same living area. This is also a kind of equality."
Zhang Lie didn't believe this:"Where is the village chief? Does he live in the same place?"
"There is no village chief, this country does not need these"
"No need?" Zhang Lie was stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions. He planned to see it with his own eyes.
After a simple tour of the village, all the buildings were distributed in a circular pattern, with a total of ten rings. The buildings were small inside and large outside. The houses in the outermost ring were the largest, and the whole was radial.
In addition, the wells at a fixed distance, the windmill in the center of the village, and the firewood piles in the same position in front of each house all revealed a kind of planning and order.
After visiting the village, the receptionist took them to a room in the outermost ring:
"It's almost time for dinner. Because you are all special people from outside, the villagers will prepare some food according to the number of people in each family after the meal is ready, and it will be delivered later."
Zhang Lie asked in confusion:"Don't you have any spare food for the reception? Do you still need the villagers to provide it?"
"No." The receptionist's answer was always unexpected."Whoever grows the food owns it. It is not allowed to take the people's things. This is an absolute rule."
"What now?"
"You are all outsiders. In fact, these foods are provided by the whole country and will be distributed to them later."
After the receptionist left, Zhang Lie and his group looked at each other. Finally, it was Husky who broke the silence first:
"Do you think this guy is reliable? Why do I feel that what he said is impossible to do?"
Khalifa pushed her glasses and said,"Based on my many years of experience as a secretary, this kind of equal distribution method is impossible to achieve. The workload is too heavy."
Bruno continued,"And they don't collect taxes from the people, so it's impossible for someone to manage the distribution. If the people who manage it have to work themselves, then this is also unequal."
Zhang Lie did not speak, perhaps there really was a way, so let's wait and see.
As the sun was obscured by the thick fog in the distance, the sky fell into darkness. Just as everyone was discussing the situation eagerly, it suddenly felt brighter.
It turned out that inside and outside the village, all the inhabited houses had lights on and were cooking. The village became bright in the firelight.
As the receptionist said, every family had surplus food for cooking, and it seemed that they cooked a lot.
You know, they saw those fields outside the village before, and the food was about to mature. Now the scale of cooking was obviously not short of food.
Smoke rose from the chimneys, and the smell of food gradually filled every corner, making Zhang Lie and the others feel hungry.
"Maybe they can do it, but how is it possible? Are there nobles who are not greedy for money? They would rather let the food rot in the warehouse than to hold it in their hands, and would rather let the civilians starve to death than to just despise it. Would such rubbish really do such a thing?"
Martin still couldn't believe what he saw. This was told to him by his experience as a member of the lower class of society.
Soon, the receptionist came over with a cart with a bucket of rice and various vegetables, plus some meat.
"These are food, the meat was specially hunted, it is considered to be a banquet for the first-time guests."
Zhang Lie is not afraid of poison, there is no Magellan here, he does not believe that there is poison on this island that can kill him
"Let's eat." Zhang Lie was already hungry, and asked while eating,"Are there any night activities here at night?"
The receptionist immediately raised his hands to his chest and crossed them:"No going out at night, any activities must be carried out in your own room"
"Traveling should be everyone's freedom. It is inappropriate to prohibit traveling. Who made this rule?"Zhang Lie wanted to ask.
But Martin suddenly raised his head and said,"Oh, this is Captain. You are not surprised by what you have seen. There are curfews everywhere, especially those incompetent nobles. Basically, they like to do this just for convenience!"
Zhang Lie glanced at him, and Martin suddenly shuddered and immediately buried his head to fight with the food.
"The person who made the rules is not here. If there is a chance later, we will naturally be able to meet."
Zhang Lie saw that the receptionist did not mean to say more, so he did not ask any more questions. Just like what the man said, if there is a chance, we will meet and chat, and if there is no chance, we will not force it.
Everyone slept here at night. Being in a strange place, safety is naturally the priority, and the difference between men and women is put at the back, so Zhang Lie arranged the sleeping places according to their positions.
Martin is a lookout, so he sleeps at the door, which just fits his fruit ability. Huskies can also guard the house, and it is definitely not revenge for him being too stupid.
Bruno is a cook. As the saying goes, there is no difference between a cook and a fighter, so he sleeps in the middle of the hall and supports the front and back at any time.
Kalifa is a secretary, so of course she continues to sleep next to him.
After a full meal, everyone slept soundly, but at a certain moment in the night, Martin and Zhang Lie suddenly opened their eyes.
There was a sudden sound of fighting outside, and with their perception ability close to the color of observation, they did not even notice any clues in advance!
