Chapter 790 It's Not Easy To Be A Good King
This is the reason, there are betel nut trees on Black Tooth Island, and these Black Tooth tribes will eat betel nuts.

To solve this problem fundamentally, just cut down all the betel nut trees on the island.

It happened that Lu Fengmei taught these aboriginals how to burn charcoal, and cut down all the betel nut trees to burn charcoal, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

The idea is good, but the problem comes when it is actually put into action.

Betel nuts have always been eaten by the black-toothed people, and their cognition is that they think their teeth are beautiful when they are stained black. Seeing that Fang ordered people to cut down the betel nut tree, all the civil affairs officials and the natives on the island came to intercede.

They dare not obstruct them by force, but they can stand in front of the betel nut tree and kneel down to beg Fang Fang not to cut down the betel nut tree.

This made the equation difficult. The tree was supposed to be cut down, but so many people begged for mercy, and it was not a matter of not cutting it all at once.

"My lord consul, don't cut it down. This is the most important green fruit tree of our Black Tooth Clan. After cutting it down, everyone will not be able to eat the green fruit. If we don't eat the green fruit, our teeth will not be stained black."

"You cut it off and told us what to do."

"..."

Faced with overwhelming pleadings, Fang Fang glanced sideways at Lu Fengmei, "What do you think we should do now?"

Lu Fengmei shook her head and said, "I'm just a civil affairs officer, and you are the consul."

At this time, of course, the equation still has to make up its mind.

To chop or not to chop, chopping can prevent these black-toothed people from chewing betel nuts and reduce their chances of getting sick, but cutting down the betel nut trees on the island regardless of their pleas will definitely hurt their hearts.

Why don't they cut it down, let them continue chewing like this, the health of the Black Tooth tribe will be greatly affected.

In the past, everyone was an enemy. Of course, they didn't care about their health or not, but now they are also part of the City of Nations. As the consul, Equation must consider them.

Seeing those begging eyes, Fang's heart softened.

If we cut down all the betel nut trees on the island today regardless of the feelings of these people, it would definitely break the hearts of these black-toothed people, and it would definitely have a serious impact on the stability of Wan Guo City.

"Okay... Since this is your belief, then I won't chop it off."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Consul!"

After learning that Equation would no longer cut down these betel nut trees, the natives of the Black Tooth tribe knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Seeing such a scene, Fang Fang didn't know whether to laugh or not. He always felt that it was absurd, and even had a bit of black humor. He obviously wanted to help them get rid of betel nuts and let the whole tribe get rid of oral problems, but these indigenous people But they don't appreciate it. They don't need Fang to worry about their health. They just hope that the green fruit trees on the island will bloom and bear fruit forever, bringing them inexhaustible green fruits.

Skipping the betel nut tree cutting, Lu Fengmei took the equation to the charcoal burning place on the island.

On a back slope, two large cave dwellings were dug. After the trees on the island were felled, they were transported here for firing.

After several days of smoldering and then cooling, all that remains in the cave is pitch-black charcoal.

During this time, Lu Fengmei had already taught the people on the island how to burn charcoal, and these people also knew how to turn trees into charcoal.

Now the side of the cave has already been piled up with charcoal that has been fired, and they are waiting for the equation to take the charcoal away.

Of course, Equation is neither an invader nor a colonist, and will not do such an act of directly dragging away.

When I came to Black Tooth Island this time, Equation brought things that are only available in the City of Nations but not on Black Tooth Island, such as soap, paper, glass, and bronze.

With the exchange of things, this is considered a transaction.

The Black Tooth tribe used the most abundant wood resources on the island to burn charcoal, and exchanged charcoal for many living materials that could not be produced on the island, and these materials will greatly improve their living conditions. In fact, I am very happy to see you.

As far as the equation is concerned, it is also a very cost-effective transaction to exchange the materials that Wanguo City can produce to obtain the most needed resources for Wanguo City's current development.

A good deal is one that makes both parties feel that they have made a profit, such as this one.

In addition to charcoal, the equation also brought back hundreds of trees.

The trees were felled and bundled into rafts, placed in the water, and then towed away by two cargo ships.

In this way, a trip to Black Tooth Island brought back rich timber resources and charcoal to the City of Nations, and it could solve the resource problem for a period of time.

On the way back, Fang Fang and Lu Fengmei talked about betel nuts.

It's so emotional to say it, but Fang Fang himself never imagined that a seemingly ordinary decision would be opposed by so many people.

I thought that when I became a consul, I can say whatever I want, and no one can object to it, but now I find that this is not the case. Of course, you can do whatever you want, and you will lose people's hearts.

The essence of power is something from the bottom up, and the power of the consul comes from everyone below.

Only when everyone is willing to trust the consul by convention, then the consul has the supreme power.On the contrary, if the actions of the consul go against the will of the people, then what will be lost is not only the hearts of the people, but also the power in their hands.

When all the bottom-level personnel of a group no longer trust the head of the group, the foundation of the building will be shaken, and the building will collapse.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"Yes, honey for you, arsenic for me." Lu Fengmei shook her head helplessly, "Some things are hard to say."

"I don't think so." Fang Fang shook his head.

"Oh?" Lu Fengmei was slightly surprised.

Fang Fang looked firm, and said: "This habit must be changed, but I have to use a different method."

Still the same sentence, if it is the enemy, you don't care about your life and death, but now Black Tooth Island also belongs to the territory of Wan Guo City.Since everyone regards Equation as the consul, Equation is responsible to everyone.

In the past, the black-tooth tribe did not have large-scale health problems. One of the main reasons was that there were many wars and conflicts between the tribes. Many people died before they lived to middle age.

Now that conflicts and wars have dropped sharply, the average life expectancy of the population will inevitably increase greatly, and those elderly patients will lose their ability to work.

In this situation, they can't be allowed to fend for themselves, which requires Wan Guo City to provide for them.

When considering issues from the standpoint of a consul, it is impossible to only think about the simplicity in front of you.

Fang Fang made a promise to all the people of Wan Guo City that he would lead everyone to build the greatest city-state in this sea area. If he is just a short-sighted person, then all this is just empty talk.
