Take Taobao with you to another world

Herman said, "Okay."

He knew they had ulterior motives, but he would have no other choice, he could not find the answers he wanted in the field or in the workshop.Even though the teachers of the academy enthusiastically said that technology will change the future in class, Herman knew that if he really accepted the way of the Alliance people, he would be willing to learn their knowledge and technology from scratch, even if the Alliance people were noble enough to open up to him. It is impossible to truly save his country from the crisis of dominance with profound skills. On the contrary, it is possible for him to slowly become a nail, a gear, and a piece of material required by the industrial alliance, and slowly integrate into this complex structure. Go to the huge collective, transform from body to mind into a true alliance person.

He believes in his feelings for Orbis, but he believes even more in the power of the Alliance to change the world.For what a blessing it is to be a Confederate if you don't think about those painful things!

There is such a place where people can acquire any knowledge without any burden, and there are countless ways to turn this knowledge into concrete reality. The exploration of the unknown universe and the transformation of the world can be so closely linked to construct a fascinating world. A trembling new world, and in this brand new kingdom of order, there are so many sincere and reliable partners working together towards a common goal.What they are doing is not only what they themselves think is right, but those who benefit from it also think they are right, because their words and deeds are the same, making the phrase "work is to give the greatest number of people the happiness of existence" very convincing. the power of.Even if Heman thought his country was invaded, he couldn't deny that what the Alliance had done in Orbis had objectively saved many people who he had never faced before.

And the "magician" who endowed the alliance with such talents and morals has no temple, and no one has his idol, because he strictly forbids people to deify him, and he always takes the form of an intellectual youth. Show your face and do real work with ordinary people on ordinary occasions.This kind of self-degradation only slightly reduces his mystery, but it does not reduce people's love at all. In people's eyes, his lack of divinity is the greatest divinity. The mental cage created by the imagery of hell is very different.The more Heman wanted to hold on to something tenaciously, the more he needed to understand the dark-haired heretic god, but the more he understood, the more frustrated and shaken he became.

He can't go on like this anymore. The Industrial Alliance is the magician's domain, perfect and powerful, and he has been away from his homeland for a long time. Although he can't go back now, it is a region that is being transformed by the magician's most beloved disciple. he can go.

Not long after, Hermann boarded the ship with countless printed materials, leaving both Industry City and his home country behind.

Regarding his choice, the Orbis nobles behind Heman hardly responded. First, they have no ability to influence the decision of the "foreigner". How much), the moment his identity as a spy is exposed, he loses his value.When they received Herman's first letter, they were very surprised that the strangers didn't kill these people they sent to lurk, but allowed them to enter their hinterland to study after a period of time. This approach is either stupid or has great The self-confidence of the foreigner has been proven by countless facts, so it is inevitable for them to be alienated in the enemy's territory. Even if Heman persisted longer than others and tried to make a difference, this weak Fighting does little to help Orbis' predicament.

Because the methods used by foreigners to attack the enemy are so resolute and cruel, not only attacking the body, but also completely conquering the will. Herman is just a stepping stone for them to invade the spiritual world.But no matter whether Heman realizes that he is being used sooner or later, the reality will not change much for him and the ruler of Orbis behind him.Every day when the foreigner develops in Orbis, he tells everyone that a contract cannot cover up the fundamental conflict between the two civilizations. The nobles and lords of Orbis cannot accept what the foreigner does and preaches in the capital. everything, yet their non-acceptance is impotent.In order to gain a respite, they had to give up Fusong Port and a third of the capital to foreigners. The heretic White Fortress was still moored in the sea. No one doubted whether they could launch a second devastating attack. .

The idea of ​​rebellion never disappeared, but the act of rebellion never waited for the right time.

Herman is a young man, and he always has hope for the future, but he is in the territory of the Alliance, no matter how much he cares about his homeland, he can't feel the current situation of Orbis based on the information he has received from a few channels including newspapers. Far less profound than the person who is going through it.He knew that the alliance's construction in Orbis was progressing steadily, but he didn't know how the foundation of the nobles' rule was undergoing ups and downs. The peace contract was signed less than a year ago, and any foreign monarch would be surprised to see the current tragedy of Orbis. You should be terrified - there are such terrifying enemies in the world, I am afraid that even the demons of the Rift War are inferior to them!If this foreigner exploited and enslaved openly, the Orbis people could unite and resolutely resist, but their method is as sinister as a young stepmother, wearing a beautiful and kind mask, opening a Zhang Jing's net corroded a normal country to the point of being riddled with holes, dragging it into the abyss step by step.

This matter is really bloody and tearful!After that humiliating and tragic defeat, these heretics forced the nobles of Orbis to extend the lease of the land, while announcing the suspension of "non-necessary" commodity sales, and recruited a large number of coolies into the lower city circled by them to concentrate their forces Transform the Blackwater Swamp.At first the aristocrats were pleased with this, as they were trying to get rid of their commercial dependence on foreigners and take the market back from them, and this was exactly what they wanted.Do they think that without those ingenious and ingenious things, the well-established market in Fusong Port will dry up?Before the battle of the port, which family didn't hoard a lot of foreign goods!They once again picked up their contempt for these northern barbarians, thinking that the foreigners just won the battle, but lost the foundation of their existence in Fusong Port. Can seek long-term by occupying land.They still have a long time to fight.

—but the opposite is true.

Just because of that unpleasant meeting, it took them less than three days from issuing the ultimatum to closing the door and locking it!

When caravans come back from the inland with full loads, no matter whether there is a whole fleet of merchants or scattered vendors, everyone who returns safely has a wallet as full as a ripe fruit. The people of Wangdu brought brief joy, and then the joy quickly turned into panic: the high wall seemed to be erected overnight, and all the shops of foreigners were sealed, except for a few agencies in the lower city that were still selling salt. Stranger no longer sells any goods to the outside world.

People were caught off guard.Before that, even if there was a wharf war, the foreigners were still supplying goods to the market rigidly according to the price and method in the past. Some people were killed, and the dignity of the king was greatly offended, but the city was not hurt. With the enrichment of a large number of foreign commodities, the prices quickly became stable, and the wharf quickly recovered its functions. The disappearance of some old buildings makes it more spacious, the coolies are busy, the merchant ships come and go, the streets are still prosperous, the hotels are brightly lit at night, and the taverns are noisy. If you don’t look at the inner city walls and the broken bones beside the palace Like the mage tower, as if nothing had happened.

The strangers are too vicious, and people are too accustomed to the false prosperity they created. When the water source is cut off in the flowing market, the real gravel will quickly emerge from the riverbed.From the second day after they closed the shop, prices began to rise at a frightening speed. The residents of the capital watched in amazement as the prices of grain, sugar, iron and charcoal changed day by day, and they quickly increased their prices. A level that even nobles can hardly bear.When they accused foreigners of manipulating prices, it was a joke compared to now—one gold coin can’t buy a day’s rations!

There is no iron, no porcelain, no spices, no paper and paint, no crystal vessels and glass jewelry. Empty merchant ships are piled up in the port. The cooks go out with baskets, but often they can only bring back some dried vegetables-the merciless strangers have even closed their slaughterhouses.Some people seemed to remember at this time that before these "dirty foreigners" bought and sold together, fresh meat and vegetables were never things that would appear in the pot for granted.

The colder than the winter night enveloped the entire capital. Under the gloomy sky, the ruthless wind blew through the sparsely populated streets. The hotel owner shrank his neck and guarded the door, and the tavern closed before dark. They all lost their smiles, and their eyes turned to the other side of the city more and more frequently, looking at the land behind the high wall that had been occupied by foreigners.Due to the terrain of the royal capital, those who are interested can easily see what is happening behind the long wooden wall—it is the opposite of the outside wall.Every day, every day, the intersection where foreigners go to work is always full of people, and the queue has been lined up to the end of the street.

Even if the price of goods in the capital is completely crazy, there are not many people who can't survive.Only the most devout people, or those with the deepest hatred would rather freeze and starve to death than work for foreigners, and as long as others are willing to sell their labor, the strangers can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, because the strangers just don’t "It's just a sale—they pay in kind.

This approach has a disastrous blow to the Fusong Port market.

What the stranger builds is not a wall, but a dam to hold back the water.Prior to this, the nobles had always had a fluke and contempt for foreigners. This luck was not without reason. All people’s actions were motivated by their own interests. Orbis earnings?They threatened to suspend trade, but in order to get a bigger market and more power.Although this kind of threat sounds scary, even if they suspend trade, after these heretics have drained the market and attacked the palace, this behavior of disrupting order will only further confirm the name of aggression and let people see that they are ugly face, knowing what is right and true for them.

People should be self-sufficient and live in peace and contentment, but their lives have been distorted by the devil's means, and now they should return to the right track.What's more, why do foreigners give when they say it, and take it back when they say it?

And the fact that the White Ships are still regularly dumping cargo into the port is the strongest proof that things can still go back to the way they were.The longer the Stranger's punitive posture was held before trade resumed, the better it would be for the nobles of Orbis.After confirming the determination of those heresies in some way, the nobles happily opened their warehouses and released some hoarded goods to the market appropriately. The revered bishop led the priests to stand on the dirty streets of the lower city, and loudly proclaimed the irredeemability of heresy while giving alms. Even the king cheered up and the queen went to participate in some public activities, so that people could feel the love and majesty of the royal family again.The strangers built a high wall to isolate themselves from the people of the capital, and now is the time to bring everything back to its proper place.

But this is a trap for strangers.All the efforts of the nobility had little effect.They claim to have "recaptured" the market, but they can't make it flourish again. Merchants wander the streets with purses in their pockets, but refuse to spend an extra penny in traditional shops, even though more than [-]% of them are from foreigners. commodity.Those stingy merchants claim that the price of these goods is too high. Not only is it not profitable to transport them to other places, but they also pay for their expenses. Anyway, winter is not suitable for long-distance trade. It is better to rest for a while. In fact, their treacherous eyes have been looking at the white ship in the port. , eagerly looking forward to the day when it opens its arms again.And under the gaze of that giant war beast, preaching in the lower city is extremely difficult. No matter how loudly those pious cultivators shout, not many people are willing to stop and listen to the enlightenment. They are in a hurry, because the strangers start work every morning, They are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the working hours and not get the full salary.On the contrary, some women are very kind to the preachers and are willing to listen to them, but even if they condescend to such a degree, the bishop will not, and the scriptures will never allow believers to have any relationship with lowly people, even if they spread the gospel to them, What can these earthy beings change?As for the king, he won enthusiastic support in the center of the city, but when he set off to return to the palace, there were so many people on the street every time. When he lifted the curtain and looked out the car window, the faces he saw had become more and more familiar.

The public market is getting more and more depressed, but the underground black market is quietly rising. Those merchants and residents who hold coins and don’t want to spend them go to the lower city in groups every morning and evening to exchange for food and other commodities from the coolies returning home from work.In addition to real things, foreigners can actually pay the same currency as remuneration, but that is the price before the suspension of trade. There are very few things that can be bought outside the wall with this amount of money, and if it is exchanged for real things, a coolie A day's work can be exchanged for the food that a family of five needs for a day. Since their three meals are provided by foreigners, these foods are pure surplus. In addition, the foreigners actually recruit women to work and give them The salary is the same as that of a man!These people are very willing to exchange food for money, and because of the unspoken rules of a foreigner, the price they exchange is not very high.

A large amount of grain and some commodities moisten the dry market semi-openly in this way.Regardless of whether people think that the actions of foreigners are reasonable or acceptable (there are not so many people who "cannot accept"), the fact is that foreigners have stopped open trade on the surface, but through hundreds of thousands of laborers, they use another This method has affected the basic life of the residents of the royal capital.The voice of complaints has subsided, and the root of hatred is basically weak. The deliberate guidance of some merchants and nobles has not been effective. Instead, more and more people have walked into the wall and accepted a job arranged by a foreigner.And because the strangers are extremely greedy for manpower, even the women who eavesdrop on the teachings on the street corners are also lured by them. The dawn of victory, and the remaining priests who need to prove their piety can only suffer in the cold wind with the tragedy of martyrdom.Maybe it's because the bellies are too loud. In the winter, some young priests took off their cassocks and mixed into the crowd to work for foreigners. Many conditions are still inevitably deteriorating.

People justify themselves that working with their hands and feet is a matter of course. They didn't help the strangers make something to attack Orbis, they just repaired a swamp. Without the strangers, it was just a piece of land What's the moral problem with that?

So under such a natural right, with the concerted efforts of the people of the capital, the foreigners left their mark deeply on the land belonging to Orbis.From winter to spring, anyone can see the changes in the swamp. Foreigners use an unquestionable determination to change the face of nature: the wild grass and dead trees are dug up; Leading to the sea; the truckload of plant ash mixed with medicinal powder was sprinkled on the black bottom mud of the swamp, and then mixed with a layer of brown topsoil from other places; those old waterways were also rebuilt, and then a layer of On the thick red soil, only the most tenacious weeds can grow on it. Here, the strangers laid deep pile foundations, erected horizontal boards, and made zigzag plank roads; The huts were linked together as a temporary shelter for the coolies.

Although they are temporary residences, these tall and bright wooden houses are more like serious residences than any house in the lower city: beams that cannot be touched by jumping up, wooden bunk beds even have ladders, and the beds are covered with thick and dry rugs. There are straw mats, tables, chairs and tall cabinets, attics, large windows with transparent glass inlaid on the window lattices, and gray and white mud mixed with grass tendons inside and outside the wooden walls, so that the wind cannot blow in and the rain cannot. If they couldn't get in, the first batch of coolies who were assigned in were flattered, and their feet were floating when they walked for a few days-the residents of the lower city had never lived in such a good place!This kind of preferential treatment is not only a reward for their diligence and loyalty from foreigners, but also a call to other people who are watching, because only those who sign long-term contracts with foreigners can get this kind of treatment, and the reasons why foreigners choose residents It can be justified-neither religious conversion nor swearing is required, as long as they can work according to the guidance of the strangers and complete the daily quota with their partners, the more intelligent and diligent the team will be rewarded.

Alien records the work done by each team every day, guides people to compete with each other with different rewards, and then lets people vote for the most qualified teams and individuals at the end of the month, so few people are not convinced by the results of.Under such incentives, the more people lived in livable wooden houses, the more people signed long-term labor contracts with foreigners, and the prototype of a new city began to appear on this swamp.These temporary residences form new streets. There are canteens, food stores and shops, public toilets, and fireproof houses on these streets. Water trucks come and go every day to deliver water to households. People living here don’t have to think about tomorrow’s food. No matter where you are, you don’t have to be afraid of the sea breeze and winter rain. In addition to being warm, some people who work hard or are particularly bold can already completely occupy an independent residence and put their families in it.So the strangers had their children babysat while they worked for them, and taught languages, mathematics, and other arts to those who were not yet qualified to sell their labor.

These children study in the house, go to the construction site, and study in the farmland with their hands holding tools. They are changing day by day, and the laborers who are struggling in the mud are watching them change day by day. The children grow strong, clear-eyed, grow tall like grass, and watch them sing songs about the alphabet and arithmetic as they sweep the streets, change water jugs, and deliver things to canteens and construction sites.Every day when their relatives are getting ready to go to work, they also change their clothes together, pack their textbooks, put on their backpacks, and go out happily-what a gratifying sight.

Although there are news from time to time about some female workers' construction sites that disturb people's hearts, people still don't quite understand why foreigners pay so much attention and devotion to them, maybe even more than those who are eager to deliver their loyalty, that beautiful female elf Even live in those places with her partner.Thinking of the church’s efforts to promote all kinds of classics, people can only think that the religion of foreigners may be to inspire people like this, and the more depraved and low-minded they are, the more they will receive God’s grace... But why don’t people from other lands take the initiative to promote it? What about their mighty and tolerant god?They have stepped on the ground even the king, will they still be afraid of the local church?

The stranger said, "We're not afraid. It's just that we don't need it yet."

As the weather gradually warmed up, foreigners were still not open for trading, and many families were running out of grain. Therefore, with the inner city wall as the boundary, more and more residents of the royal capital walked behind the walls built by foreigners.It was no longer an unavoidable place of miasma, the gray mist covering the water had long been blown away by the refreshing breeze, some land was built high, rows of houses replaced weeds and bushes, wide roads stretched in the black mud, some The land is dug low, and the water surface of the regular pond is like a mirror. Occasionally, the webbed feet of waterfowl ripple. In the large wetland surrounded by those flat ridges, the seedlings they sowed have grown up. Human dependents brought hope, but hurt the hearts of the nobles.

These crops will mature in a few months. No matter what fruits the Alliance people harvest here, as long as they are not particularly evil, those ignorant people will further support the strangers.They really have no shame!How many years the king's family has guarded the city, and how many years they have enjoyed peace and prosperity because of this shelter, but they are not grateful at all, and they are bought by foreigners with petty profits!The nobles cursed in their own mansions and at the king's meeting. They were filled with righteous indignation, shared the same hatred, and even cried bitterly when they were emotional.

Yet the Stranger seems to think they still don't suffer enough.Luring people into the wall was just the beginning, and asking them to sign a contract for at least three months was also just the beginning. After paying in kind instead of coins, they started to implement a new settlement method.
