I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 461 Praise, Lord of Famine and Plague!

"My suffering compatriots, in order to satisfy their selfish desires, those greedy nobles and wealthy merchants used shameful means to **** our only rations, and allowed famine and plague to spread wantonly in the kingdom, leaving our children in hunger and pain. die!

   And those culprits are staying comfortably in the manor, in front of the warm fireplace, under the service of the servants, enjoying the food and wine, laughing at the difficult situation you and I are in in the most vicious tone! "

"For hundreds of years, those nobles have stood high above our heads, trampling our dignity like cattle, horses and livestock. My fellow countrymen, the Kingdom of [Hadrata] shouldn't be like this... Now it's time to get back our things Already!"

  【Hadra Tower】In the northern border of the Kingdom, on a three-meter-high boulder, Raeder is giving an impassioned speech before the battle.

   Underneath is a mass of poor people in ragged clothes. Under Raeder's constant talk, anger gradually surfaced on everyone's face.

As Raeder said, the wheat they worked so hard to grow was forcibly taken away by those nobles at a very low price, and then sold at hundreds or even thousands of times. A piece of black bread, can only rely on eating grass roots and bark for a living.

  The people who caused all this made a lot of money and hid in the manor to enjoy themselves safely.

   Seeing the anger gradually ignited in the eyes of everyone, Raeder continued his efforts and publicized their successful experience in resisting the tyranny of the nobles in other places.

  For example, the miners in the Southern Territory, under the oppression of the nobles in the past, had to stay in the dark mines all day long, and had to endure the beatings, scolding and exploitation of the supervisors, and even faced the risk of mine collapses all the time.

  But with the help of the wizards, they stood up bravely, killed the overseer of the mine, defended their rights with blood, and then arrested the local baron, and judged the other party's evil deeds in public!

   "Okay!" "That's it, let those despicable nobles get what they deserve!" "They should be thrown into hell!"

Listening to Raeder vividly telling that the nobles were hanged and fearful before execution, the poor people present were very angry and cursed loudly, but there were also many people who showed hesitation and couldn't help speaking asked.

   "Master Raeder, I heard that the wizards have established many workshops in the capital. Not only are they paid several silver coins every month, but they also provide three meals a day. Is this true?"

"Of course it is true. I assure you that as long as everyone works hard, no one will go hungry again!" Raeder said with certainty, and then explained to everyone the various regulations formulated by the parliament. A welfare policy - policy.

   To the poor people, this beauty is like a paradise in a dream, which is a bit too illusory.

   Fortunately, due to the smooth flow of commerce and trade, many people in the tavern heard the merchants who delivered goods boast about the grand occasion of the king's capital, and they all spoke out to confirm that Raeder's words were definitely not fabricated out of thin air.

  Taking a step back from **** and stepping into heaven, seeing that the time was ripe, Raeder immediately ordered hundreds of flintlock guns to be fired, and then shouted hoarsely.

   "Now, everyone, take up the weapons in your hands and take back what belongs to us!"

   "Make those **** pay!" "Send them to hell!"

   A group of thousands of people shouted slogans like this, and rushed towards the Marquis who was closest to them.

   And this scene was repeated in almost every territory in the northwest of the kingdom!

  Raydell broke up the 10,000 elite musketeers into hundreds of teams. It took a month to encourage the local suffering people to revolt and resist, just to launch an attack together today!

Although the weapons in the hands of the poor are only flintlock guns that have been eliminated, and the training time per capita is only about a week, but after all, there are so many people, and under the blessing of hatred and anger, it can be said to be as powerful as a bamboo. Instigated the rebellion of some of the regular troops under the nobles...

   "The mob, the **** mob!"

  In the northern border of the Kingdom of Helder, the Grand Duke of Gad hid in a strong fortress, looking out the window at the poor people clamoring to hang him, his face was full of fear and anger.

With great difficulty, he evaded the capture of those wizards with the help of a sacred artifact inherited from his family, and fled back to his territory in a hurry. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he bumped into this group of damned people head-on The mob was directly blocked in this fortress.

   Fortunately, those mobs lacked powerful enough siege weapons in their hands, so they gave themselves a chance to breathe.

   "Release the letter asking for help immediately, these **** mobs, I will kill them one by one!" Grand Duke Gard ordered through gritted teeth.

Several gray crows were kept in captivity in this castle for communication, and they are the only living creatures that can fly out of the fortress. The holy artifact in his hand has been used once before, and it is not suitable for fighting against hordes of enemies. For the present plan, he can only hope that the little nobles under his command can lead an army to rescue him.

  However, this only hope was broken by a sudden sound from inside the fortress.

   "No need, the entire northern border of the kingdom may have already fallen, and the lords everywhere are already overwhelmed, and no one will come to rescue you."

  Gade suddenly turned his head and looked over. In the darkness, a familiar figure slowly emerged.

   "Gustav?!" Gad immediately recognized the person, and there was a bit of joy on his face, and then it turned into a deep anger. "Is this what you told me to be safe?"

   "The food in the hands of those wizards is simply inexhaustible. They can even use magic to make bread. The wheat in our hands is worthless now. Now it's over, everything is over!"

  Gade's ferocious face was full of resentment. If the other party hadn't encouraged him to provoke this food war, they would not have ended up like this.

   "Do you think those wizards would let you go without this?" Gustav said with a sneer. "Look outside your castle, those rioting citizens, the wizards have secretly planned to seize your territory! I just gave you a chance to get back your rights!"

  Gade stared at Gustav with a gloomy expression. Although he was angry in his heart, he also understood that the commander of the God's Punishment Army in front of him was not something he could compete with. He could only suppress his anger and asked the other party why he came.

   "Of course I came here to save you!" Gustav said slowly. "With your current strength, I'm afraid it's not enough to fight those mobs."

  Gade didn't have the slightest hint of joy on his face. With the power of the God's Punishment Army commander, it would be easy to deal with a group of mobs, but the other party chose to sneak into the fortress to meet with him, which was already obvious.

   "Tell me your conditions!" Gard said solemnly.

   "There are no conditions this time, only gifts." Gustav took out a strange-looking statue from his arms. "It will give you new powers, enough to allow you to take back the territory."

   "The statue of the evil god?!" Gard couldn't help but took a step back, a chill came down his back, of course he recognized what it was.

   I understand how terrifying this thing is...

   This is not a so-called gift at all, but a sacrifice!

  Gard immediately took out the ancestral sacred artifact, and a burst of intense divine light immediately appeared in the fortress, but to his surprise, the sacred artifact did not attack the enemy in front of him at all.

  Gustav looked at Gard mockingly. This sacred artifact was bestowed by the church a hundred years ago, but the other party tried to use the power of this sacred artifact to counter him. He didn't understand it!

   "Give full play to your last value!" Gustav stepped forward, and the right hand holding the statue of the evil **** pierced Duke Gard's chest.

   No blood flowed out, and Gustav's hand seemed to have passed through an illusory barrier, and placed the statue in the position of the opponent's heart.

  The next moment, a lot of voices drilled into Gard's mind.

   "Praise, Lord of Famine and Plague!" "You have brought disaster to the world, punished all godless, and dragged the world into hell..." "Lord, punish your enemies with the plague..."

The high-pitched, uninterrupted prayers and the terrifying and evil memories kept impacting Gad's will. His face was becoming distorted, his body was shaking constantly, and he fell limply to the ground, both mentally and physically. suffering severe pain.

  If it weren't for being a blood knight, I'm afraid he would have completely collapsed in the first round of consciousness shock!

  This is also the reason why Gustave came here specially. The flesh of ordinary people is not capable of carrying the power of evil gods—even a statue that only carries part of the power of demons.

  The attendants in the room knelt on the ground and trembled, not even daring to look up.

  Gustav listened to the other party's wailing with a stern expression, and was unmoved at all. Since those wizards had already planned to provoke the mob's rebellion, these nobles lost the value of continuing to survive.

  …

  The news of the leaders who revolted against the tyranny of the nobles, and the news of their success in the northern border of the kingdom was quickly spread back to the city of fire oil through various channels.

   "Very good, very good, so the entire kingdom has been accommodated under the rule of the parliament, without exception!" Harov said happily.

   This is the second year they have stepped out of the wizarding land, and the results they have achieved are obviously far beyond their expectations. Not only have they successfully gained a foothold on this continent, but they have also directly entered the empire!

   "Of course this is an honor worth celebrating, but now is not the time to relax!" Vittorio reminded.

  Although they removed the biggest unstable factor in the kingdom in one go, they arrested and imprisoned so many dignitaries and confiscated their property at once, even if they had good reasons, it caused quite a panic.

   Coupled with the lack of managers, the entire kingdom will inevitably face a period of chaotic management.

   "Master Lynn, I heard that you are conceiving a new method of selecting a large number of grassroots managers to manage the entire kingdom. Do you have an idea?" Aurora asked curiously.

  Since the parliament ruled the kingdom, they have been thinking about how to rule the huge territory.

  At present, there are two mainstream voices in the parliament.

  One is to cooperate with the nobles, and implement management through enfeoffment as before. The nobles are responsible for managing secular affairs, and the wizards are responsible for managing the mysterious and extraordinary.

   This path is obviously not feasible, because they are taking the path of the poor, thereby disintegrating the faith of the church and seriously conflicting with the interests of the nobles.

  The second is completely governed by wizards, such as they do in the land of wizards.

  However, in Lynn's view, this is an alternative wizard enfeoffment system...

   Its main purpose is to directly manage a city by the school led by the great wizard!

   This is slightly better than the hereditary inheritance of the nobility of the empire. After all, being able to advance to this level means being good enough, but there are many disadvantages. After all, being strong and easy to use does not mean that you must be good at management.

  In fact, many great wizards don't put their minds on managing the territory at all, and they are all managed by the wizards of the school below. The level can only be described as uneven.

   Not to mention that there are so many cities in the kingdom, even more if the empire is counted, wizards alone cannot manage them.

  Lin En didn't hide his intentions, and quickly explained the examination and selection system he was going to implement.

The speakers are no strangers to the selection of exams. For example, in the land of wizards, the promotion of official wizards is evaluated through tests. Lynn optimized this system again when he was in the port of Iyeta, so they Also somewhat understand.

   "Should we rely on grades to judge and admit the best? Then what specific items should be tested?" Vittorio asked thoughtfully.

   "First of all, literature. If a manager doesn't even know basic literacy, how can he understand the orders we issue?" Lynn explained one by one.

   "Then there is Mathematical Olympiad. Numeracy ability has a wide range of applications and is necessary!" "The last thing is to test some occupation-related content. For example, agricultural managers must understand climate, farming, and the manipulation of various alchemy instruments."

  In this way, managers who have passed the exam only need to get used to their work a little before they can get started.

  But high-level managers should be mainly wizards. After all, a commoner cannot manage powerful wizards. Lynn is very clear about this, so he can only select wizards who are good at management.

  As for those wizards who are extremely powerful but not good at management, we will pull them into the parliament and give them an identity and status in line with their strength, so that they will not cause dissatisfaction.

  In addition to this, all managers only have administrative rights. For example, the local city lord is not qualified to form and command the army, and the replacement is appointed by the parliament, completely abolishing the hereditary system.

  Lin En briefly described his thoughts as concisely as possible, and added the corresponding prosecution and reporting system, so he almost took out a legal code.
