Take Taobao with you to another world

They took out a contract, asked people to swear not to commit crimes, and then chose among three payment methods: coins, commodities, or monthly settlement "work points"?Coins and physical goods are paid daily, and there is no restriction on their use inside or outside the wall, and there is no difference in the opportunity to live in the "dormitory", but if the payment is settled on a monthly basis, you can immediately own the current residence—not rent it out , nor is it a short-term reward, as long as they pay off the "loan", this will be a real property that truly belongs to them.The strangers also guaranteed all their rights here during the repayment of their "loans."

The contract between the stranger and the king stipulated that the land lease period was 50 years.A healthy adult only needs to work for two to three years to pay off the value of a house without affecting his basic life.Because laborers who are willing to accept the work-point system not only get more remuneration, but the foreigners who are in charge of settlement will also exchange the remaining remuneration for a special ticket after deducting the monthly fixed loan amount, which can be used by them in canteens and shops, etc. consumption at will.The value of these vouchers is tied to food, and no matter how the prices of commodities in the shops change, these unforgeable paper vouchers can be exchanged for enough January rations for three adults anytime and anywhere.

Now maybe only gold and silver can be stronger than the credit of foreigners, but the scarce market has depreciated the value of gold and silver, not to mention that for most people, their purpose of pursuing money is to survive, although the nobles and the church severely reprimanded The evil deeds of usury by foreigners—asking people to sell their labor, making people in debt, not spending a dime, and making people slaves!Once this debt contract is signed, what freedom does a person have!But even if the words are clear, not only the nobles and the church are talking, but also the strangers have repeatedly stated the consequences of this contract with them, and many people still happily rush into this trap.Because freedom and dignity are empty words, but hunger and cold are real feelings. Bearing a debt without feeling, but in exchange for a comfortable life now and in the future, why is this deal worthless—— — they had almost nothing!

At least half of the people have pressed their fingerprints on the covenant book, and among this half of the people, more than one-third are women.Considering the number of women in the man-made fields in foreign lands, this ratio is a bit unusually high. Although the residences are separated, due to the arrangements of the foreigners, other people more or less work together with these female workers. You can open your eyes and say how poorly they are doing, after all, the results of many competitions are there, but—"How can a woman live in a room by herself!" How can a foreigner give a woman the right to press her own fingerprints!Many people quarreled because of this.

The noise was loud, but the stranger did not waver at all.

So some people thought it was more than just arguing.In the months of working for the Stranger, the horrors of the Battle of the Docks have faded, and so is the mystery of the Stranger himself, and those who teach people how to work, and who do the work themselves, are also wounded and Tired, will eat and drink, as they themselves say is an "ordinary person".Instead of holding whips and sticks, they use "rules" instead of violence to punish people. They are neither vicious nor moody. On the contrary, they are reasonable and considerate of the weak.But this kind of action has not been appreciated by some people.

Rumors picked up on the wind and traveled beyond the walls with uncanny speed.

In fact, these rumors do little harm to the foreigners. From the first day they set foot on Orbis, there have been absurd rumors about them. The foreigners have done so many things under the influence of so many absurd rumors.The Battle of the Docks has silenced many, but as the Outlanders focus their efforts on building new towns, some are scrambling to move again.What's more, the nobles were persecuted by foreigners to such an extent that they needed a way to vent their humiliation.It is impossible for foreigners to go to court to ask for clarification of rumors, and their choreography seems to have had some effect. The residents of the lower city closed their eyes and listened, but the residents of the upper city were very hostile to foreigners. From "I will never beg for mercy even if I die" to "taking food from foreigners is an attack on them", they have withstood the test and used more flexible ways to guard the bottom line of their hearts.

However, this time the stranger did not continue to ignore him.They reacted.

Hundreds of laborers were driven over the wall, taking with them nothing but a sack of rations and some money.The strangers claimed that they would never accept the behavior of smashing the pot when they were full. Not only did they refuse to give these unrepentant people the opportunity to work again, but they also stopped recruiting new workers for one month.

Also, starting from this month, they began to sell the management rights to the outside world.

The nobles of Orbis cursed loudly, while the long-necked merchants cheered - their waiting was rewarded, the treasure house of foreigners was opened to them again, and all the commodities were shining with golden light, so those who are useful to hide, Novelty and lower-priced commodities were displayed in front of them, and they were about to be swarmed by hungry ghosts, when the strangers offered their prices.

This is the first time that a foreigner has made a clear request with the merchants.

First of all, small merchants can no longer directly trade with them unless they form a tight organization themselves; some merchants who are financially capable and have their own guard team can get priority opportunities, but they have to get the goods at the current price , they also have to accept the following restrictions: accept foreigners to buy shares in their caravan in kind, add their supervisors to the caravan, supervise their trading activities in the place where the goods are sold, and ensure that the landing price of some contracted goods does not exceed that of the foreign land. At the same time, there will be obvious signs of foreigners on the contract products, etc... They may not accept these conditions, but the foreigners have very specific experience on how to build a large business group, and they can guide and use materials Support those small merchants to set up such a trade group. If the merchants in the capital want to unite and reject the control of foreigners, they can also select enough people from the laborers inside the wall to form this new caravan.There can be no doubt that those who have had a considerable training in language and mathematics are more loyal to strangers and better able to carry out their purposes.

The merchants hesitated.They were only prepared to accept money and some contract requirements, but the reckless behavior of the Orbis nobles had already made them lose the trust of foreigners, making them have to face such harsh conditions, and once any of them When a person accepts these chains, it means that they openly take the side of the stranger!

So can they continue to wait until the stranger offers reasonable conditions again?

They can take a look at the port again, where the white ships are regularly pouring goods into the port from autumn to spring. Grain and vegetables and meat only account for a part of these huge commodities (God knows how they can produce so much stuff!), and the rest is in The walled warehouses of the strangers were almost overflowing, but they didn't care much about whether the goods could be sold.There are thousands of people in the new urban area inside the wall, plus children and old people, maybe tens of thousands of people. Their daily production and life consume these stocks. Although the labor force of the main body is driven to carry out heavy labor, these People's wealth is probably not comparable to half of the residents of the royal capital. Foreigners allow women to own their own property. These people don't have much or almost no money in their hands, but they have inexhaustible strength after eating and drinking. , foreigners turned their labor into a common currency, which gave them a strong enough desire and ability to consume.

The stranger tolerantly gave these merchants half a month to think about it, and at the same time, they began to form their own caravans.

They have no trouble doing it, and everyone knows it.

According to the peace contract, foreigners holding gold medals can legally pass anywhere in the Orbis Kingdom. They have enough mounts, enough "own people", and undoubtedly strong enough.In the past six months, they have not only transformed a piece of wilderness, but also built a new urban area. At the same time, they have used labor to transform people's spirits.They did it aboveboard, and all recipients were voluntary.Before the foreigners expelled those who disturbed the order, no matter how people outside the wall criticized the laborers who "sold their bodies and souls together", the fact was that every day people went to the places where foreigners recruited laborers to sell themselves.After these people who have successfully sold themselves enter the wall, as long as they can accept the advice of foreigners, their life will not be difficult.Because the strangers do not restrict people to live outside the wall, and there are two days of vacation every month without incident, so people outside know how smart the strangers are in their work: for example, they have set smooth tracks in the center of the plank road , the grooves of the metal wheels are embedded in the rails, and women can also pull a full load of mud trucks; every construction site that requires large-scale construction has a sky net composed of countless high poles, cranes, and wheels. Wet and heavy soil and large and small stones can be moved out effortlessly by moving the rope; as for how do foreigners build so many houses in such a short period of time?Algebra and geometry play a role here like a dream. The strangers have long experienced in their native lands. They divide a real house into many parts, measure the number of materials used in each part, and then according to these numbers, accurately divide the wood. Processing them into the exact same shape as bricks and stones, building them according to a prescribed sequence of steps, using mortise and tenon joints and water-adjusted stone glue, they built a new urban area at a speed like magic.

All this is clearly displayed in front of everyone.The strangers have no secrets, they are willing to teach others these skills, although no one can learn this step yet, but during the months of working for the strangers, many people have actively or passively got rid of it. From the sheer ignorance of the past, I have a new understanding of my own existence.Regular life, sufficient food and basic medical conditions cultivate a healthy body, so that they can still have the energy to receive half-induced and half-compulsory education during and after heavy labor. They only learn some basic calculations and limited Words make a big difference in the world in people's eyes.

Those expelled labor also benefited from this.

While people were arguing about the management rights of foreigners, this group of people returned to the real downtown area and naturally entered the bleak labor market.With good health and wisdom acquired from the Stranger, they drove many hired hands out of their meager occupations, and no one was pleased about it—he who plotted the rumor still could not confuse the Stranger's new city, They will also be threatened by some bribed chess pieces in turn, so they have to use some invisible means to eliminate future troubles.But even if some people's mouths can be closed forever, it is still unknown whether the hidden danger will be eliminated, because the strangers seem to care about many things, but when they retaliate, all old scores will be settled.As for those who were driven away, they never thought that the punishment of foreigners would be so severe. Although many people have already held money that they could not have imagined in the past, they have no land, and the market has long been different. , not to mention the experience of living in the new urban area, how can they go back to the muddy days of the past?The new jobs they won can't make them feel at ease, not only the pay is so low, the food is so hard to swallow, but also their employers, those employers who are superior and teach them to be grateful with slaps, fists and whips!

On the contrary, those hired workers who have been robbed of their jobs, some desperate people hold their children and cry with strangers, not only get food for themselves and their children, but also get a golden promise - when they recruit workers again a month later , foreigners will choose among them first, as long as they can pass some tests, their treatment is not much different from that of people in the new city.

So some deported people also begged forgiveness from foreigners, who said that their names and actions had been recorded, and their punishments would vary in severity, but they would last at least three months.

This is not a short period of time, but it is not desperate.How gentle the stranger is as a teacher, and how cold as a punisher. Those who repent can only go back and live patiently, hoping to be forgiven by the stranger after three months.Some people sincerely regretted it, and some people felt deeper hatred because of it, especially when they saw those laborers left behind by foreigners, any expression of joy was regarded as a mockery of them.They tried their best to curse those lowly female animals who made today, only hated that they were few and foreigners would not let them leave the wall easily.Although these people's identities are quite different from those of nobles, they have a common language when they face foreigners, but except for foreigners, no one will bow their heads to listen to their words.Their hatred is very tenacious, and their desires are difficult to satisfy. With foreigners as their opponents, it may be difficult for them to have a happy time in their lives, but some recent turmoil may give them some comfort.

The Royal Society and the Church joined forces to strongly oppose the spread of heresies by foreigners in the territory of Orbis.

The reason why strangers are called heretics rather than heretics is that they have never expressed any definite beliefs since their appearance, even "unbelief" is a kind of belief, but they have never denied any sect.They turned a blind eye when the church preached downtown.The lengthy document of the peace contract also restricts the preaching of foreigners. Although it is really doubtful how much restraint these clauses have on foreigners, but this time, as far as the source of the disturbance is concerned, the anger of the Royal Society has nothing to do with it. It is caused by the foreigners themselves - if people want to learn the skills transmitted by the foreigners, they have to learn their language and characters, which is the right thing to do, but in addition, people have to accept their It would be a heinous crime to use the theory of anomalies.

The first thing to react was the church that had been watching the strangers. After being burnt with the most sensitive tail, they urgently summoned people to translate and transcribe the content of the "Learning News" that flowed out of the wall overnight, rubbing it and delivering it around.All mages and scholars living in the capital received this letter of accusation. Although it has become a consensus that the stranger is a thorn in the throat, after reading the fallacies and heresies in the letter, even some scholars who intend to stay away from disputes can’t stop Live thunder furious.

Mathematics is the only real language. Using this set of language to explain the stars, sun, and phenomena in the sky, we can get the truth of the world.Mathematics has no meaning, is symmetrical, and has independent solutions. Just like spiritual talent, all things start as one, which is the basis of all reality and the origin of the world's operation.

Yet the few questions printed on that thin sheet of paper negate these truths.

People who seek the peak of truth have countless questions about the world every day, but only by asking the right questions can they get the path to climb.There is no doubt that the brains of the strangers are clever, and they have also asked the "correct" questions, which are both profound and meaningful, and even some questions themselves are the answers to some questions. However, the purpose of the strangers to make this printed matter is not to invite others The wise come to explore unsolved mysteries.This is a textbook for their humble disciples, and in this strange periodical publication the strangers routinely ask these questions, routinely analyze and work with their mathematical tools, and routinely get answers.

Again, mathematics is a real language, there is no problem with the logic of foreigners, there is no problem with the tools, and there is no problem with the process of answering.

No one can accept it except they get the answer.

Compared to the offenses that mages and scholars received in the field of truth, the humiliation of Orbis nobles is simply insignificant. All individuals and families will be annihilated in history, and only the light of wisdom will shine forever.If it wasn't for the fact that the aliens had shown overwhelming force and bought the most powerful mercenary group and assassins early on, there would be more than one elf sitting in the new town, and those talented mages and scholars would have already used all their strength to eliminate them. These heresies are gone.It is true that they will not easily lose control and become insane because of this power, but if the interpretation of truth is not taken back from the hands of foreigners, these mages and scholars will not only face headaches, insomnia, numbness of hands and feet, stroke convulsions, vomiting blood and tears.

These demons!

On the one hand, they urgently contacted the known wise hermits. Although the church is already doing this, they don’t think this is enough to explain the seriousness of the situation; The columnist confronted.This time, the omnipotent strangers seem to have finally miscalculated-they were surprised by the wrath of these mages and scholars.

To these angry intellectuals, they answered thus:

"If you are asking about this Mr. Arslan, he has already started his new job in the city of Mahi on the Buber Plain. If you have such a wish, we will convey the letter of discussion to him as soon as possible .However, if there is only a dispute over the content of this newspaper, we also have some people here who have a little foundation in mathematics, and they may be able to give you some useful inspiration."

"Or are you willing to send some representatives to take a boat and go with us to the industrial city to discuss the merits? This city is not only the source of our applied theories, but also the place of the greatest demonstration."

Some mages and scholars hesitated, while others said angrily, "Then call your elves out!"

The stranger was surprised again: "Why bother our partners with such a trivial matter?"

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally agreed on a compromise. Some mages and scholars temporarily lived in the new city, and the foreigners guaranteed their safety, freedom, and the right to ask any questions and get answers.The mages and scholars weren't too pleased with the offer, but—there wasn't much time.

Time is really short.

When they decided to stay here, the elves also came to that simple dinner party. From the conversation, it was learned that at least two elves were resident here.

After confirming the first priority, mages and scholars can finally return to their true purpose and start the academic war.

Regardless of this and that unspeakable problem, to be honest, these young mages and scholars have a good life here. Although they can only bring two or three students and servants, they don't feel much inconvenience.Every day, foreigners from other lands take turns to explain, discuss and translate relevant academic issues with them. Although every foreigner comes dressed in common clothes like laborers, most of the etiquette for these noble guests is verbal, but they He is articulate, quick in thinking, solid in theory (even if it is a heretical theory), talks about mathematical problems from a novel and easy-to-understand perspective, and is very good at citing arguments for indisputable reasoning.

Even if they already regard each other as an enemy in their hearts, these mages and scholars have to admit that the stranger is indeed an opponent worthy of respect.Even if half...a small half...a little bit of the original intention is not on these academic issues, after gaining a general understanding of the number theory system of foreigners, mages and scholars can't help but indulge in it.

What a magnificent new world this is!

As the scope of the discussion became wider and deeper, the intellectual representatives of two strangers were no longer enough for these mages and scholars, and the strangers were reluctant to provide them with more services. It is said that the foreigners are suppressing (in the case of the Orbis people) decades-old projects to be completed in a few years, so their manpower is always very short.While they sell their franchises and form new caravans, the work of building new towns continues, and they have to select and further train the remaining male and female labor force. With multiple responsibilities, coming to talk to mage scholars is almost equivalent to rest for them.

After the attack failed, mages and scholars had to take the initiative to search for what they wanted-using the words and tools of foreigners.The stranger opened the nearest reading room to them from the very beginning. In that bright room, the bookshelves stood against the wall, neatly lined up with hundreds of issues of study newspapers, and more than a thousand books of various colors. The strong production capacity is also reflected in these texts. These beautifully printed but simply bound books are not only available for borrowing, but also for sale. Buy favorites.These texts record extremely rich information, and the way of conveying it to people is so popular that it is almost childish. The purpose of everything is to teach as many ignorant mortals as possible so that they can solve specific problems in reality.In terms of quantity, not to mention mortals, even for these mage scholars, the newspapers and books here have exceeded the number they have read in their lifetime, but this is just a small part of the official library of the "Industrial City" they call it. projection.

As long as mages and scholars are willing to let go of the fighting spirit a little bit, stop devoting all their energy to refuting the strange world models of foreigners, and turn their eyes away a little bit, and put them on the cruel reality that is close at hand.

After getting rid of prejudice, they can see that, in essence, wisdom does not come out of thin air, and knowledge is not acquired for free.

How blind do they have to be to fail to notice the will in this reading room behind these strangers?

Opening their closed eyes and ears, they seem to feel "truth" for the first time.
