Chapter 657: Chapter 657
However, they need to live in designated areas, pay rent, and can only purchase daily necessities from you.
I can even offer a purchase service...
Those gold diggers who obtain golden sand and purple crystal don't have to struggle to go to nearby cities where they'll be underpriced; I can provide a recycling service directly at market price based on quality."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Wayne, who was shocked, and said with a smile, "Trust me, as long as you have determination, set the rules and execute them without hesitation, you'll be able to share the benefits of the gold mine and crystal mine from another perspective."
Upon hearing this, Wayne thought deeply for a few minutes with a complex expression, and finally shook his head, saying, "NO, those gold diggers are all scoundrels and bastards. Allowing them to enter will affect the young people in the tribe."
Faced with Wayne's refusal, Mountain Eagle was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he liked Wayne's conservative nature very much.
Wayne's personality seems unfavorable for development, but in fact, it retains the tribe's most precious things, 'tribal culture' and 'survival skills.'
In other parts of the United States, Mountain Eagle had no say, but he knew that in Alaska, the laws were relatively beneficial to the natives.
For example, only the Inuit can hunt seals, Indians don't need to specifically apply for hunting quotas...
Compared to modern people, these natives live harsh lives, but they have privileges and land in the reserves that others do not have; they are real property owners.
Wayne's choice seems conservative, but in fact, he does not want external influences to interfere with the tribe...
He's not against young people going to school and then venturing out; he's just worried that if the reservation is too polluted by the outside world, those young people who fail will lose their last retreat.
In fact, natives and East farmers are similar in some ways...
No one doesn't yearn for modern life; it's just that modern cities can't accommodate so much happiness!
This world always needs someone to endure pain to fulfill the happiness of another part of the people.
A hundred native children leave the tribe through education and bravely head to the city; how many of them can gain a foothold?
Once they leave the reservation, without a high degree, they can only do relatively low-end work, repeating endlessly, and eventually finding it hard to secure a place in the city.
The reservation is their fallback, but most young people see the city's prosperity and convenience and are unwilling to go back or can't bear the hardship of the reservation, becoming the bottom of society...
Wayne wants to guard their reservation, not only the land but also the atmosphere and customs of the reservation.
Because once a large number of gold diggers flood in, the ecology there will change.
Eventually, it could become like some reserves inland in the United States, where young people spend all day drinking and doing drugs, forgetting what a dignified life looks like.
Then people will notice a strange phenomenon: the poorer, the more they love to have children!
The lower-class blacks, Muslims, slums of Southeast Asia, India, and even some poor areas of East...
The natives of the United States numbered 2.93 million in 2010, and by the end of 2014, their population had explosively grown to nearly 5 million, with no sign of this trend slowing down. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Compared to the poor, those in the middle of society, namely the middle class, on the contrary, do not like to have children.
Those who earn more invest their money in themselves and their children...
While living comfortably, they either simply don't have children or concentrate the limited resources of a family on one or two children, ensuring they receive a good education and strive to enhance their competitiveness.
While the poor have to face many children...
They can't even take care of themselves, let alone their children.
Ultimately, they have no choice but to push their children into society, relying on universal welfare to support them, and through the harsh survival of the fittest, seek that tiny probability of success.
This issue isn't about right or wrong...
It's just that some parents will strive to keep their piece of land, saying "come home" when their children feel tired or desperate.
While some parents only think of their children as a way to provide for their old age, they cannot accept their children returning home to share their already limited resources.
Wayne is the kind of conservative who wants to guard the reservation, preserve tribal traditions, and provide those who leave with a place to return to!
Wayne looked at Mountain Eagle's calm expression and said in a low voice, "Did my choice disappoint you?
Maybe I'm just a coward, maybe I'll never be able to lead my tribe to a happy life in this lifetime..."
Mountain Eagle looked at Wayne, who seemed somewhat disappointed, shook his head, and said, "Quite the opposite; I think you are very brave!
Trust me, when you hold the land and can obtain enough food and supplies from nature to meet your needs, being conservative may make you miss some opportunities, but it's never a mistake.
Because there is always something to lose when there's something to gain, and opportunities always come with risks!
For a chieftain, increasing enough margin for error is the only qualification to talk about taking risks!"
Wayne bowed his head and was silent for a while, bitterly saying, "Our young people all want to go to the city, and I have been there too. I know it's not suitable for everyone.
I just hope that when they return here, there's still someone who can teach them how to get along with nature, teach them how to proudly survive in this harsh land."
