This objective comparison of strength can also be considered as a strategy to make people naturally and willingly accept the rule of Gentiles.

But the work of the Working Group clearly goes beyond that.

Even if their ability is outstanding, governing Orson County will not be an easy job for their team—even if their ability alone is as good as the past five old-style officials combined or even more, but they rebuild In Orson County, the reconstruction is definitely not the past order in Orson County. In that case, as long as the relief is given, the grain is distributed, and when spring comes, everything will naturally return to the past.If they reduce some tax collectors and tax rates, and exempt a few years of hard labor, good reputation will easily fall on them.

But doing so would not be able to realize the wish of Bishop Selis, nor would it reflect the value of the working group.

The real reconstruction plan was drafted in New Marsh City, and necessary adjustments were made after arriving in Orson County according to the actual situation, but the core and purpose of the plan remained unchanged.Because the work of the working group needs to cooperate with many people, those people are not familiar with them, do not understand the language, and some people are wary of them to varying degrees, and some even have malicious intentions.The working group needs to persuade them to accept their own work plan and match their own working methods. This cannot be done with condescending admonitions or brutal force. Although Kasper people are obviously happy to "convince others" for them, but here, The task force must do the overwhelming majority of those who resist their use of excessive force.

The working group tried many ways to coordinate working relationships, and in the end they did a good job.

Bishop Selis was very worried that the attitude of those representatives of the rebel army would make the working group unhappy. His life experience let him know that if some conflicts were not resolved when they first appeared, they would definitely become irreparable rifts in the future, especially between them. The differences in the world come from the affiliation of power-this kind of poison that can trigger the deepest desires in people's hearts.Bishop Selis can ensure that Orson County will eventually be handed over to the pioneers, but will the rebel army be willing to accept the domestication of these bloodless outsiders?

Of course they can.

Bishop Seris is very busy with work. Even if he is concerned about this matter, most of his energy is still devoted to the endless work in front of him. Therefore, when he came back to his senses, he found that the people under his command had become close and united. Even Casper It is not surprising that people are no longer excluded, and are so surprised that they almost think they are having a dream.

It seems that the solution to the problem is not very difficult.

First of all, as the members appointed by the supreme leader of New Mahic City, the ability of the working group is beyond doubt. They undertake all the clerical and statistical work in the new administrative system headed by Bishop Seles, no matter what others do to them at the beginning. No matter what attitude you have, you have to rely on them at work.

And everyone has strong instincts. "Gentiles" are the real employers of Kasper's mercenaries. Except for the old bishop, only the working group can mobilize or organize these eagle dogs when necessary.Although it’s hard to say how things developed to this point, people—including those farmers who were moved to relief farms, are becoming more and more accustomed to accepting mediation from “people from that city” when disputes arise, isn’t it Satisfying everyone every time, but always relatively the best.

The working group has demonstrated their convincing ability and calm and humble character. It is natural to be trusted. Everyone knows that the life in New Marci City is very good now. They don’t even have a warm house here. It is necessary to put down paper and pen to deal with various problems in the field. What is more worthy of respect is that the working group is never hesitant to share its knowledge and skills with others, because there are always answers to questions, and people who ask for advice are non-stop from morning till night , So they set up night reading classes, using the night time to impart knowledge to people and answer questions.

It was only after they filed the application that Bishop Selis realized that the situation had changed greatly.Of course he would like to express his support.

In the common relationship between people, the close relationship between teachers and students can be said to be second only to parents and children. Generally speaking, it is only natural for a person to pay any price if he wants to acquire knowledge that is beneficial to him. , Only New Mahy City, and only people from the alliance behind New Mahy City will give each other their money when the stakes are not close.

Few people are unaware of the rarity of this point, only a few people feel uncomfortable with the night class, most people cherish this opportunity.

What's more, daily errands, persuasion, statistics, and field work are mostly hard and boring. In contrast, night reading classes are much more "interesting".Whenever the night falls, the bell for the start of the class rings, and people gather in the room where the class is held in the dark night. The oil lamps are lit by the members of the working group who are already waiting here, and people sit On various improvised log benches, shoulder to shoulder, leg to leg, whispering and laughing, even if the cold wind outside the house blows in through the cracks, it can't cool people's enthusiasm.

Of course, there are not many teaching aids in this simple classroom, and they don't need too many things now.After the class starts, the first step is not to do anything else, but to read the newspaper.

Yes, read the newspaper.

It's an activity that's become a habit in New Marsh, and it's a trend in Orson County as well.Every convoy that transports supplies will bring recent newspapers and books from the industrial city. These precious printed materials are cherished and not very cautiously kept in the reading room-it is the strongest windproof house newly built, but as long as you have the heart, Everyone can apply to read it.Because there are a lot of pictures in the newspaper, there are many people who are willing to read new ones, but they can't read the text. These heavenly books can only be deciphered in night reading classes.

At the beginning of this session, the newspaper reader will light a precious candle, sit opposite the people, leaning towards the candlelight, squinting his eyes, the newspaper gets closer, word by word in the common language mixed with the vernacular language. read aloud the news from the newspaper, and if someone said aloud that they had trouble understanding some sentences, he would stop and explain; Have today's classroom assistant hold up an oil lamp for people to pass around.

There is almost no content about Orson County in the newspaper. Even if the working group organizes their own work into manuscripts for the transport team to send back, from the time they arrive in the industrial city to the time when the newspaper with relevant articles arrives in their hands, it will take a long time. Not a short process.Even so, not many people think it's a waste of time to listen to stories that don't happen to them or in Orson County.Of course, people are more concerned about what happens to themselves and around them, but as long as they have a little spare energy, people also feel that the stories outside—mainly referring to New Marsh City and the alliance country on the other side of the world—are worthy of attention.

They are fighting for a difficult future in their own land, the newspaper is like a window, even if it is far from the time for them to go out from the dilapidated house to see the outside world, as long as the window is there, People will not lose hope.

Reading the newspaper will take up at least half of the evening class time.After reading the newspaper, the teachers on duty in the working group started class.This is a necessary ability for pioneers, and almost everyone is familiar with it. They will select one or several items from the events that happened that day or recently as teaching materials, analyze them with them, show them, and use them to show them. The topic makes people who come to this classroom realize that knowledge is not a luxury that only stays in dark storage rooms and smart minds. It is born to be used by people to solve problems and transform realistic.

This teaching method can gather people's wandering thoughts. When the course is over, it is time for free discussion.At this time, people bring up the problems accumulated during the day and seek solutions from their teachers and partners.This part can be said to be the most anticipated, and the atmosphere is also the most enthusiastic.Not all questions can be answered very well in the seminar. Even if some people get the answer in the seminar, they may not do what others say the next day, but except for these few, because things change In the case of changing plans, the role of the seminar is huge, and it can be said that it is irreplaceable.

It not only helps people deal with many problems that bother them in a better way, but also enhances the understanding and relationship between these partners, and also allows them to clarify the purpose and meaning of their business. What does Mori County look like?

"Rebuild Orson County" is actually a vague slogan. There are not many memorable places in Orson County in the past. No aristocrat with a little ambition wants to live here like a frightened bird.Even if this patchwork team was not devoid of people with aristocratic connections, even when their relatives were in the right place, they were all down-and-out, down-and-out, "something out of their minds."

After the consensus of not wanting the old men to come back is established, the next thing will be easy.

The closest and best example that people can look to as they plan for the future of Orson County is the new Mahee City.However, most people don't have a more specific understanding of how this city works except for "magical", "powerful" and "desireable and fearful". For people outside this city, its Existence and functioning are always incomprehensible.

How did they maintain such a large population; how did they deal with their food, drinking water and waste from daily life; how could they organize production while maintaining order; how did they deal with the relationship between different groups; Is education the same? What do children learn, what do men learn, what do women learn, what do old people learn...

When I found that my questions could be answered sincerely, the questions fell like raindrops.

Most of the questions are very basic, because people start asking questions based on their own needs, and then as their understanding deepens, what they want to know becomes more and more systematic.For example, why new mahi city printed some paper that people can recognize as currency, if it is because new mahi city make sure that these paper can be exchanged for goods, but they have such technology, they can easily print How do they ensure that the face value of these notes is equal to the goods in the market or warehouse?If the quantity is less, you can reprint it, but what if it is too much?

Only the real thing is reassuring, the winter works of the new Marcy city will not be the people who took things from the fair, it will be made up of the 10 people in the city, the working group admits, They want to devote at least one-third of the population to these projects.The labor of these people is not free, and it can even be regarded as well-paid, so by the end of the project, the currency in the hands of these people will reach a very scary amount.

Thinking of this step, the members of the night class suddenly realized that the Gentiles want people to contribute to their grand plan, and pay wages in the form of these banknotes, in exchange for people's labor, and use the goods they produce to get money from people's hands. Taking back these currencies actually buys people's labor with products.Since the Gentiles produced not only necessities such as grain, salt and iron, but also products such as tools that significantly improved people's lives, no merchant, or even any other country or region, could provide such a large amount of commodities. They have maintained their own credit, and this exchange can go on almost forever without the participation of metal currency.

The more goods they produce, the more manpower they can buy - and the production capacity of the alliance behind New Mahy City now seems to be almost unlimited, at least it will not be easily dragged down by the needs of New Mahy City of.

Even if they don't have a very rich language, it has to be said that the loop looks perfect.

Contrary to what some people were worried about behind the scenes, the members of the working group did not think that revealing the way of ruling New Mahy City would reveal the secrets of the pioneers, even if they knew how a small number of pioneers used means to firmly control a huge city It is also extremely difficult to overthrow or replace their rule-at least their enemies are almost impossible to do it within a few years.Even the possibility of imitating them is slim.

Because if they did, the result would only be to hasten their own demise, and no other miracles would appear.

Now that the night class gave them the opportunity to speak freely, the students became bolder and even asked the working group directly whether the Gentiles planned to coexist with the king and the church for a long time, or would they organize their teams to report to their peers after completing their many plans? Their sworn opponents send troops?Is their display of mighty force real or just a deterrent that cannot actually be used far from the city?Is it because of this reason that they can't fight back when the nobles want to use the population to drag down the city of Xinmaxi?What do they think of the rebel army? Is New Mahy City providing support to the rebel army to make the rebel army a shield between the king and the church, or is it a test of whether they are worthy of being subdued?What was their payment for employing the Caspers, so that these aliens would at all times show their loyalty to the Gentiles forever?

These questions are more than bold, and some say they are provocative, which is not wronged.

But Bishop Selis, who went to observe from time to time, still failed to use his identity to coordinate.

The working group allows people to ask questions freely, and of course they can choose what to answer and what not to answer.

They said, let's talk about the situation facing the king, nobles and church of this kingdom first.

Judging from today's perspective, it seems that the rulers of the kingdom have made the Gentiles grow stronger because of their frequent tricks, and most of the suffering they think is self-inflicted.But starting from themselves, every choice they make is inevitable, determined by their class, interests and power relations, unless they go back in time and go back to the time when the foreigners first set foot on this land, Otherwise the results wouldn't be much different.

It doesn't even have much to do with the wisdom of the king, the loyalty of the ministers, or the love of the church.

There will be no peace for the Gentiles as long as they exist in this land.

But even if the situation has developed to such a point, the kings still hold most of the land in the kingdom, they have an orthodox status recognized by the majority of the people, and they still hold a considerable number of troops. Sitting still.So, if a king wanted to drive the Gentiles out of his kingdom at all costs, would he be able to do it?

The lecturer of the working group said that depends on what kind of "whatever it takes".In fact, the king and his nobles have done almost everything that can be done. It seems that fate has tricked them.For example, the "farmers' rebellion" that is like wildfires everywhere is a kind of reward for their most self-conceited strategy of driving away wolves and tigers-almost no one will pay for the nobles and the church in order to have more cultivated land. The relatives and friends who expelled them expressed their gratitude, but because of the heavy burden transferred to them, coupled with the fear that they would not know when they would be abandoned, the peasants could not bear the oppression and had to rise up against the increasingly severe labor and taxation.

Perhaps they initially just wanted to relieve some of the burden of existence, but what they rebelled against was the very basis of existence of the entire noble and ecclesiastical class.

This is a great, great sin.

The aristocrats and the church had to tolerate the gentiles showing off their power. There was one and possibly only one chance to eliminate these invaders, and they had to accumulate enough strength.But when confronted with these ungrateful domestic animals - which representatives of the rebel army said was what they had encountered - the nobles' anger was out of control.

Even though there are rivers of blood in the execution grounds everywhere, even if the walls are covered with heads, and even some nobles send servants to collect people's opinions on the streets, and if they find disobedience, they will be arrested and thrown into prison immediately, but the riots have not decreased, but have intensified , because the fundamental contradiction cannot be resolved in this situation—the aristocrats must increase the exploitation of the population in their territories if they want to eliminate the foreigners and maintain their rule; the more they exploit, the more people will rise up to resist in order to survive, The weaker their ruling foundation is, the tougher and more brutal measures must be adopted.

"So the Gentiles are the root of all evil?"

"The development of all things will have a beginning." The person in the working group said, "We can think that we are the 'beginning'. However, we can also imagine what the fate would be like if there were no 'Gentiles' .”

If there were no Gentiles—this was perhaps the most frequented thought in the minds of kings and nobles in recent years, but it was still something new to the members of the evening class.The Gentiles are so powerful and rich, of course they can be where they want and do whatever they want.But what if they had never been here, and had chosen some other river city, or remained in their wonderful allied country?

Then, first of all, the short-lived prosperity of the old Marci City will not appear, and the nobles of the kingdom will not pursue or rely on those strange and exotic commodities. Their lives are still as peaceful as usual, and their rule is still as stable as before. There's nothing wrong with them.

However, the rains will still come.The typhoid plague will also spread.

These are natural disasters that cannot be reversed by humans. They have happened more than once in the past, and the future will still be a test for mankind.Then, without the disturbance of the foreigners, what would the Old Marci City and the nobles do when they faced these disasters by themselves?Can they control the plague, and can they foresee and respond to the ensuing drought and locust plague?In this year when the gods of nature are particularly harsh on human beings, they have no reason to expel their people from their territories to other places. Can people survive this famine with patience alone? Can the nobles and the church continue to maintain Their "tranquility" and "stability"?

These questions are not particularly difficult to answer.Because of the characteristics of feudal rule, even if the foreigners rebuilt a new Maxi city, the nobles would feel bitter, the king could not sleep and eat, and their reputation was overwhelming. There are many legends about them in the downstream countries, but in essence, their respect for this country The impact is still quite limited, and outside of the areas where they directly interfere (like Orsonshire), people's lives and the way the nobles rule is the same as before, with little change.

When the "iron ox" of Xinmaxi City opened up the land outside the city, it was only one square meter away from them, but in the village that already belonged to another nobleman's territory, they still put wooden shafts on people's bodies to cultivate the land. When they heard that Gentiles were coming to do business with them, some people in the village had never even heard the word "Gentiles" and thought it was the title of some noble clerk.While this closure is due to many reasons, there is much evidence that it is a very common condition.

Take the Gentiles and their dominions off the kingdom's map, and the nobles will behave not much differently than they do today, perhaps a little more moderately than they do now—and that deserves special gratitude, then, as the nobles Do you want to go back to the past as much?

Everyone here has already answered with their actual actions.

The working group then asked the evening students:

If no one wants to repeat the same mistakes, is it possible to turn Orson County into a new Marsh City on this road that can only go forward?
