Chapter 1245 (1/2)
Boom——
In mid air, heavy thunder.
But under this gloomy sky, a person's eyes are more frightening than the echo of lightning.
The mayor of Pelican city slowly passed his hands and said——
”If you prisoners kill people, then according to the law, you must accept your punishment, even the death penalty. Because only in this way can we comfort those dead souls and tell all those who are still alive that if they commit sins, they must have the consciousness of paying for their lives! ”
”However, in my city, if a family loses a man, the family will collapse in an instant and draw into the abyss of destruction without barrier. There is no doubt that this is my responsibility as mayor and my shame. As mayor, I have this responsibility to protect my citizens. Even if you are executed, I want you to go on the road with peace of mind and no longer have any worries behind you. ”
Ariel went to the Judas family, looked at the woman, stared at her eyes, and said slowly, ”since I will shout the slogan of equality between men and women and everyone is the same, I must not allow women to live on their own. What's your name, mother? ”
Judas's wife half opened her mouth, looked at her husband, and then hugged her child again. She looked nervous and speechless.
Seeing this, Ariel was not embarrassed and continued, ”don't you want to say? I won't force you. Then take this opportunity, let me talk about my ideas. These ideas are not my whim. In fact, I have long wanted to do so. ”
Ariel raised her head, looked at everyone in front of her, and said slowly——
”Pelican city will continue to expand next, but this expansion does not represent a good thing. Because I found that most of the citizen friends who recently entered Pelican city don't know words, and some people can't even write their own names. ”
”I have long wanted to build a special school in Pelican City, but I have been very busy and have no leisure. In addition, I was not the mayor before, so I was delayed.”
”But in the future, I will build a school in this city. This school will not be like my alma mater old Teng tree. Only the best or most talented students can enter. In this school, all children can enter here to study. The school will teach these children knowledge, teach them to read and write, understand history, culture, as well as our country and the environment we live in. Of course, this is not the most interesting point. The most important point in the school's construction plan is -- ”
Ariel breathed out a little and said again——
”This school is not so-called voluntary, but 'mandatory'. In other words, all children in Pelican city should and must come to school. No one is allowed to play truant or make excuses not to come! ”
”Only when their parents' working hours are over can their parents come and pick up their children. In other words, as long as it is during the day, all children under the age of 16 must study and have classes in my school, whether the child wants it or not, and whether the child's parents want it or not. ”
Ariel looked away at Judas's wife and their children. After a pause, she continued——
”Then our city needs to expand further. I need to build more textile mills and element machine factories. In addition, I will recruit some people to protect our Pelican city from such attacks. I also need a large number of logistics personnel to wash dishes, wash clothes and clean the streets, so as to stimulate the vitality of the whole city. ”
”Judas's wife, if you are willing to stay, work in the pelican city and let your children study and go to school here, then I can definitely guarantee your mother and son's three meals a day and the warmth of their living life with my reputation as the mayor of the pelican city. Here, a woman textile worker can earn the same money as a man textile worker. Whether you can earn more depends on how hard you can work. Similarly, you will not be a slave to anyone, nor will anyone dare to do anything that damages your dignity. I can assure you of all this. ”
When the voice fell, Ariel turned her head again and shouted to everyone present——
”I also assure you! In Pelican City, the richest people will never sing all day and night, but the poorest people can only curl up next to the smelly ditch and wait to die! I may not be able to make Pelican city extremely rich, but I can still make sure that everyone here has a bite to eat! ”
”But we don't just want to have a full meal! I want to do more and develop our city even stronger! ”
”But I can't do these things alone. To be more accurate, I need craftsmen to help expand the city and workers to work in the factory! Children need to study hard, farmers need to plant fields, and all people need to do their own work! ”
”I need you and your help... No, it should be said that only if you work together and all of you work together, can we create a city where no one will be hungry and no one will be able to live! The future will come only when everyone in Pelican city works together! ”
The mayor's voice was clear and leisurely.
Although it is not so loud, it is not so powerful.
However, there seems to be some extremely powerful power in this small body! In the face of this force, even the most powerful brave seems to be dwarfed.
With the mayor's promise, whether citizens, prisoners or families were present.
No one will doubt whether the mayor's words are correct or whether she is exaggerating.
Even some people vaguely began to feel that even if Pelican city really couldn't eat a bite in the end, the mayor was worth following.
After all, no lord or nobleman would dare to personally promise to give everyone a mouthful of food in front of so many people... Instead of thinking that the civilians who are about to starve are very eye-catching and summoning guards to drive them away when they are about to starve.
The world may not be perfect.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, there are many dangers in this world after all.
But... As a person, as a person with flesh and blood
Maybe they are really willing to believe that there will be a goal in this world that is really worth following
Ariel looked up and looked around at everyone here again.
Then she slowly took back her sight, stretched out her hand, gently put it on Judas's shoulder, which was now kneeling on the ground, and whispered——
”So don't worry.”
Clatter - clatter——
The rain, which had been deadlocked for a long time, finally fell at this moment.
In this hot summer, these cool thunderstorms bring people a refreshing and soothing feeling.
The rain began to increase and spread to the center of the square.
People began to raise their hands to cover their heads. Some people took out long prepared umbrellas to make room for themselves.
But no matter whether it is with or without an umbrella, there is still no citizen left here. Everyone is still watching the trial, the mayor and the future of the pelican city
Look at what will happen here.
Ariel took a slow breath. Margo took out the umbrella she had already prepared, opened it and held it beside Ariel.
Ariel looked at the prisoners on their knees again and said slowly——
”That's all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not, I will continue to do so.”
Then Ariel turned her head, looked at the bench over there and said, ”three judges, how long will it take to execute after the death penalty is announced?”
The crisp tower on the judgment seat slowed down and said, ”the next day. That is, we'll execute tomorrow. But... We haven't decided on the place of execution yet. Do you still want to operate here? ”
The one eye next to him held out his hand, slightly blocked the rain falling on his hair and said, ”I think so. If so, a execution ground will be built here tomorrow. Hey, you guys below, congratulations. You are about to become the first batch of capital prisoners in this city. ”
