Chapter 394 Resolving Contradiction
Seeing Anduin's dissatisfied eyes, Conte lowered his head in shame.

During this period of time, he temporarily acted as the internal affairs of the town, but his ability is not enough to manage the town of Hetan, and he has been battered.

It wasn't until Sean returned to town with Morgan Mill that with Morgan's help he could barely handle the job.

Conte could only lower his head and explain resentfully: "To be honest, my lord, this is the first time I have heard of many of these issues. I have never heard feedback from the townspeople on these things."

Anduin glared at Conte, not knowing what to say.

Sean was also listening to the townspeople complaining to Anduin, and heard about "the original townspeople fighting with the new freedmen" (the new freedmen are freedmen who have been converted from slaves), "fakes appeared in the town" After these two incidents, the attention has increased a lot.

These two things may seem like small things, but left unchecked they can add up to big things!
So Xiao En hurriedly said to the two townspeople: "You two come here, I have something to ask you, it's not you, I'm not interested in your wife's cheating, I'm talking about you two."

Sean released two holy light marks on the two townspeople.

The two townspeople understood, and immediately walked towards Sean.

At the same time, Sean winked at Anduin.

Anduin nodded and focused his attention on the two townspeople that Sean used the Holy Light Mark on.

After the two townspeople walked over, Sean asked Vivienne to release a "sound-proof enchantment" to wrap them inside, and then looked at the fair-looking male townsman with sunken eyes:
"what's your name."

"My lord, my name is Siman."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the first group of slaves to arrive in River Beach Town, and now you have obtained the status of a free citizen, right?" Sean asked.

There are some differences in the appearance of the citizens of the Sunflower Principality and the citizens of the Lane Principality, so Sean quickly recognized Siman as a person from the Sunflower Principality.

"That's right, Lord Lord." Siman said excitedly, "I have only been in River Beach Town for more than a month, and you gave me the status of a free citizen. I am very grateful to you!"

"Don't be grateful to me, it has something to do with your excellent performance in the manor." Sean waved his hand: "By the way, you just said that your newly promoted freedmen had a fight with the aborigines, what's going on? "

Sman sighed, and told Sean what happened to their new freedmen.

Sean listened carefully to Siman's description and figured out what happened.

……

The appearance of the new freedmen and the aborigines in Hetan Town are very different and easy to identify, and these "differences" gradually evolved into discrimination.

After all, it is normal for human races to harbor hostility and hatred towards other races.

In addition, the new freedmen had been slaves and the Sunflower Principality was not strong. Therefore, they were "treated differently" by the indigenous people of Hetan Town in their daily lives. Their arrogance, prejudice, and discrimination gradually turned into ridicule and abuse.

The contradictions gradually accumulated, and finally, a fight broke out between the newly promoted free people and the aborigines.

Fortunately, both sides are relatively restrained. The newly promoted free people cherish the hard-to-get good life, and so do the aborigines.

So only one person had a broken leg, and the others were slightly injured.

Anduin used [Mind Stealing] on Siman, and said after reaching the conclusion: "My lord, Siman is telling the truth."

Sean sighed: "Oh, I had long expected that conflicts would break out between the new freedmen and the aborigines, but I didn't expect the conflict to come so early.
Anduin, we need to resolve these conflicts earlier, otherwise there will be conflicts not only between the aborigines and the new freedmen, but also between the aborigines and foreign refugees and immigrants. "

"Then, my lord, how should we resolve these contradictions?" Anduin asked humbly.

Sean took out a small notebook from the [Dimensional Backpack], flipped through it and replied:

"I have thought about this problem many times, and I have taken notes... I found it! There are only four solutions I can think of at present:

The first way is to enact harsh punishments to prevent fighting among them.

The advantage of this method is that it can achieve good results immediately, but the disadvantage is that it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause;
The second method is ethnic integration, so that all people live together. After more than a dozen generations, everyone will have the same appearance and the same language, so there will be no discrimination.

The advantage of this method is that it can fundamentally solve the problem, but the disadvantage is that the pains in the first few decades are definitely unavoidable;
The third is to let them live separately, with foreigners living in one area and locals living in another area.

This method is the same as the first method. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and will instead deepen ethnic discrimination;

The fourth method is to forcibly fuse them together with a common religion or value.

This method is very good, but for things like religion emmmm, values ​​are more reliable than religion. "

Anduin was a little dizzy from Xiao En's words: "Then, my lord, which method should we take?"

Sean analyzed the pros and cons, and finally said: "We can't limit ourselves to a certain method, but use several methods together.

We must use the first and third methods first, let the locals, foreigners, and newly-arrived freedmen live separately, and introduce laws to prohibit fighting between them.

Then, we use the fourth method to establish a common value and common belief for all townspeople.

This will solve the ethnic problem! "

At the end of the conversation, Sean patted Anduin on the shoulder: "Anduin, while I'm away, I'll leave River Beach Town to you!"

Anduin originally wanted to go to Port Kapoor with Sean, after all, he had never seen any city in this world since he came to this world.

But he also knows that there are big problems in Hetan Town at this stage, and he cannot be separated here.

So Anduin had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, my lord, I will try my best to manage River Beach Town well!"

"With you here, I feel relieved!"

……

Finally, Sean said to Sman:
"Siman, go and call those who fought to the administrative hall, and I will give you 5 gold coins as a reward."

But seeing that Siman was still hesitant, Sean understood his concerns and promised:
"Don't worry, I'm just criticizing and educating them, I won't arrest them and go to jail, I promise they won't retaliate against you."

Hearing Xiao En's assurance, Siman was relieved: "Okay, my lord, I'll go right away!"

After Siman finished speaking, he saluted Sean again and left.

After Siman left, Sean looked at another townsman: "Miss, what's your name?"

"My name is Debbie, a native of Hetan Town." Debbie said timidly: "In the past, when we bought things in the town, there were almost no fakes. But for some reason, many of my neighbors recently said they bought fakes. I hope you two Can the adults investigate what exactly happened?"
