I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

In the air-stifled room, the dying old man's face was ashen and dejected, his expression seemed to be in pain and at the same time seemed to be at peace. In the corner lay the found abandoned baby, who was hoarse but whimpered weakly like a milk cat. The older orphans hid Behind the door, her cheeks were sunken and her eyes were numb, not at all innocent and ignorant as a child should be.

Here is the relief house.

Lucien smiled and listened to Priest Elaine's boastful talk, saying how much the Church of Light attaches great importance to relief, and prays to the God of Light for these poor people every day, hoping that their souls can be illuminated by the light.

Repeatedly, the offician Elaine was moved by himself.

He sniffed hard, holding back his strength to use a holy light spell to "let the light shine".Spells such as Holy Light are classified as [divine spells], also known as [prayer spells].

Although Lucien can't use any of them, he doesn't quite understand the specific differences.

Yingying's white glow lit up in the palm of Elaine, and as the person closest to him, Lucien felt the strongest effect.

——Warm, peaceful, with joy and joy in my heart, and the glow melts like the warm sun in spring.

Everyone in the priest of the Guangming Church knows how to do this. It belongs to the traditional art of the church priest. It is like a shining light ball with its own lighting enchantment. It is full of provocative and infectious power. But few people who have been illuminated can resist the church. It’s really fragrant .

Priest Eleanor, this is only the primary version. When Lucien was seriously ill, he received the advanced prayer technique [Praise of Light] from the Central Priest. It was so warm and relaxing as if returning to the mother's womb. The warm white light made the sick Lucien, who had difficulty opening his eyes, was in a daze. If he hadn't been stabbed and bled out of consciousness, he would have almost been put on a white scarf and joined the church on the spot.

Since then, Lucien has never voluntarily accepted the prayer technique of the Church of Light, and he found that he seems to have developed a certain resistance to this kind of magic. The experience is really good. The whole body is comfortable with the light of the holy light. It is relaxing, happy and stress-free from the inside out. If it can be developed into a health care and leisure project, it will definitely be very profitable.

If there is no faith bonus debuff, at least Lucien would like to arrange it for his subordinates.He knows very well that working under him is stressful and heavy tasks, and he is prone to hair loss when working overtime, and there is no psychological counseling in this world, so in order to ensure work efficiency, there must be appropriate channels for emotional relief.

Didn't you see that Lawrence's hairline seems to have receded a little in just over a month, and his black and black skin is not so delicate now, which fully proves that the strong body of a talented person can't withstand the ravages of Zero Seven.

However, his mental state is quite good. The Hexagon Warrior performed very well in terms of battery life and work enthusiasm. Everywhere is the kind of subordinate that the leader likes most.

Lawrence waited patiently for Elaine to finish the performance. The Holy Light spell did not have a drastic effect on his emotions.He didn't change his expression in the noisy sound of kneeling, praying and weeping in the room, he just lowered his eyes reservedly and bowed his head, and softly recited "may the light protect you" just like Lucien.

Then Lawrence cleverly squeezed Elaine off the priest who wanted to say something more, and diverted the topic from meaningless praise to practical issues that Lucien was more concerned about.

“目前救济所收容了47人，累计收容76人。”劳伦斯把总结文书上的内容简略地给路西恩又口述了一遍，“47人中25人是50岁以上老人，十八个五岁以下的孤儿；所有人中身患疾病或残疾的有33人。”

"Of the 29 people who died, 26 died of illness, three died of injuries, and no one died of starvation or freezing."

"As you can see, the houses in the relief center have been fully repaired, there are no air or rain leaks, there are stoves in the houses, and the supply of firewood is sufficient. In terms of food, there is one meal a day, mainly hot porridge. Children under the age of five and People over the age of 55 can drink milk porridge every three days."

It is called milk porridge, which means pouring an extra bowl of milk into it when cooking porridge. Sometimes it is milk and sometimes it is goat milk. It depends on which one is cheaper on that day, but no matter what it is, it is suitable for orphans and the elderly who lack nutrition. These are rare nutritional supplements.

So basically all the orphans in the relief center survived. The one who died was a newborn baby with an umbilical cord attached to her belly when she was picked up. Goat's milk didn't keep her alive that night.

But overall, the death rate in the relief center was actually lower than Lucien expected.

It is impossible for people not to die. The level of social productivity and medical development is there. People who have no support and no ability to work are just waiting to die. Finally, eating hot porridge and dying decently, and allowing an apprentice priest to say a few prayers in front of a simple tomb that may the dead return to the light.

That's all...

— That's all.

Lucien accepted this fact a long time ago.

Under the background of the times, what he can do [is nothing more than that].

It is true that he comes from a world that is far more advanced than this world, and he stands on the shoulders of giants. Perhaps he is indeed defiant because of this secret arrogance, but at a certain moment—perhaps when he was sick and dying When he died, or other times when it was easier to die but he didn't know why he was still struggling so much to live, he accepted the fact that he [can only] do so much if he wants to live well.

The power structure in this world is very stable, probably because the existence of talented people has eased class conflicts, and the rulers of various countries on the continent for several generations have been relatively reliable. The days can basically go on.

Regardless of which world the civilians are, as long as they can live on, they will instinctively resist any [change].

That is to say, even if Lucien comes from a more civilized and advanced world, no matter how tall he stands on the shoulders of giants, this era does not have the soil for [change] and [progress].

He can moderately go out of the way, use knowledge belonging to another world to seek benefits, and bring changes to this world within limits, but when he greedily wants more, trying to sow seeds that history has not developed to that stage, looking for infinite When he loses the familiarity of meaning, the tide of the times will instantly crush him to pieces.

Besides, Lucien knew very well that it was impossible for him to be a reformer. He didn't have the consciousness to sacrifice himself for a better tomorrow.Even he knew very well that when he stood in the relief center, facing the despair spreading all over the room, he only felt it for a moment.

very pitiful.

Lucien thought so.

But he just stood in front of the unnamed graves behind the almshouse and prayed, "May the dead souls return to the light."

next year……

Let more people live.

……

On the other side of the county government, Dalton, who was soaked in messy accounts, already felt that he was about to die.

He was the last one to fall in the office. Before him, the officials of the financial department had thrown themselves to the street one by one in front of the huge and complicated figures and the income and expenditure that could not be evened out.

They can roughly estimate how much tax and handling fees they have collected for this exhibition, and they also have a good idea of ​​the expenses such as commissions for hiring chariots and horse mages for the construction of the venue, but if they want to calculate each item clearly, the more they calculate, the more they pay. A terrible nightmare where the chaos is getting worse and worse.

What's more, what Dalton needs to do is not only a ledger with clear income and expenses without calculation errors, but also needs to lead the entire department to draw charts and charts for these numbers, analyze the sales situation of this fair, and summarize the experience and feasibility of the event. Improve projects as an important part of the financial department's year-end summary.

Dalton had a splitting headache from the year-end summary, and spent every day in overtime hell, but compared to him and Lawrence, William was the one who most wanted to roll his eyes and die.

After all, no matter what Dalton and Lawrence say, they are both liberal arts students with major counterparts.

Dalton has a good habit of reviewing the past, reflecting and summarizing, and his financial work is similar to his previous work. In addition, most of the financial work involves listing and analyzing numbers. It is difficult for him to write, but he is not unable to write anything.

Needless to say, Lawrence, as the steward of Rollus Manor, he had to write to Luthers every year to report the situation of the manor in the past year. He knew exactly what to write in the year-end summary. After tossing and getting full practice, it can be said that everyone is the least worried about the year-end summary.

And William...William has to repeat his personal history again. As a child of a merchant, he went from the guard of the city gate to the security team of the imperial capital to the royal guard and then to the captain of Duke Velvet's guard. The most standard promotion route for a military officer requires him to write no more than three times a year, and each time he has to write no more than one page.

So William couldn't figure out what went wrong with his life path, why all of a sudden he fell into the hell of one written document after another and couldn't get out, and as the leader of the legal affairs and security department, he not only had to I racked my brains to write the year-end summary by myself, and even racked my brains to write the year-end evaluation for my subordinates.

God of light, he is a military officer military officer military officer!Besides, William swears that he is a civil servant in the imperial capital, and no one has so many things to write!

William stared at the paperwork for several days but couldn't utter a few words. In the end, Lawrence couldn't stand it and straightened out his thoughts for him, and instructed him to go to the Sheld civil servant under him to revise and adjust after finishing writing——Sheard He was in charge of managing old files before and now he is in charge of judging disputes, both of which require him to record accurately and concisely, which is definitely the most suitable for Lucien among all official documents.

Even Lawrence himself had to revise his words after writing the document. Lucien obviously didn't like the nobleman's rhetorical ornate and metaphorical style of documents. When he handed in the document for the first time, Lucien complained, "You Do you want to be a bard?" He didn't even read it and called him back to ask him to rewrite it.

In this way, in this gloomy and desperate clerical hell, the Wilvelde County Government ushered in its first year-end regular meeting.

——Looking at the name of the meeting, you can tell that the meeting will be indispensable in the future.

And Lucien made it clear from the beginning that this meeting will be held every quarter in order to make everyone more motivated and purposeful in their future work.
