The goal of building the kingdom of heaven sounds too grand just by itself.
Except for Adelbert, the other two people couldn't really understand the meaning behind this word.
No, rather, who in this world can specifically propose what the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ is like?
Who knows how an ideal world should be built?
Who can understand that the kingdom of heaven is heaven and not another kind of hell?
No one will understand."
Boss."
Ji Ru said Qingchao, he frowned slightly and asked quite seriously: "Can I understand that... you want to build a prosperous and peaceful territory where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment?"
Scott also looked at Ian with a solemn expression.
This does not allow them to be careless, because in Terra, the lord's wishes are far more important than other things, and the lord can indeed use his own power to change the development of the entire territory.
Ian looked at Qingchao and Scott, looking at each other's slightly confused expressions, and couldn't help but sigh.
You can’t say the world of Terra is good, but you can’t say it’s bad either.
In this world, one taler can buy nearly half a ton of grain in grain-rich areas like the Central Plains. As long as there is a job and there is no war, everyone living around the city can live a pretty good life. At most, becoming a sublime depends on luck.
Most people in this world would rather maintain the status quo than change.
Unless the whole world turns into a hell like the Ecumenical Kingdom, people will simply not be able to imagine the Kingdom of Heaven.
That's not the saddest thing."
That's your personal wish."
Therefore, as a compromise, Qingchao said some more practical goals before sighing loudly: "The other thing is that although the Ryan Territory is small, it is still too big compared to your personal wilderness.
Although the empire has not said it clearly, the disruption of the Baisen Mountains by the Flying Flame Land was indeed an opportunity for you. During that chaos, you cannot easily increase the actual control area of the territory."
"There will definitely be more wars in the future. In order to protect your territory, you need fewer resources. That is not just a matter of technological regression and less food and less sublimation. You must build a more complex one."
A good system solves distribution problems and internal friction."
"As far as I'm concerned, you want to be the local emperor of Nanling and build a kingdom that is uniquely yours, and you will define the order in it."
With his eyes flashing, Tao Yu looked around the place, no one was left, "Can you understand me?"
One by one, indeed, you can understand it that way.
Both Ian and Scott showed clear expressions - although not many nobles would dare to say that wish, few people do it, and of course we understand.
As for the new order... Hey, under the small continent of Terra, there are so few lords, and there is no mess of private laws and local laws. Just like here in Icewind Fortress, the g-butterfly is still a protected animal.
Is that because the lord himself is not a Titan-level Ice Wind Butterfly?
——The world has not yet reached the point of needing reform, the people are still happy enough, or hateful enough, and have we experienced the deep darkness and despair?
——So there is a desire for "darker" in my heart.
Looking at the reactions of Ian and Tao Yuhui, Qingchao confirmed that point again.
Although it seems that there are no common problems common to pre-apocalyptic civilizations, Terra's current situation is actually relatively weak. At most, today's wars will cause massacres. Small countries are actively developing technology and paying great attention to public opinion.
, and it is not a pure one-man politics.
We are exploring new areas and new continents, and the Seven Little Orthodox Church is also dealing with issues related to ruins and various mazes.
At the very least, a hundred years will have to pass, so that the entire world will no longer have room for development. The contradiction between the lower and upper classes will intensify, and the lower class will be completely solidified. Both those who are promoted to 4 and those who are not promoted will have no way to move down.
, one more fight that makes even the sublimated people feel pain is a small world war that makes them want to live.
Only the entire Terra can feel the pain of the times, try to change its own shortcomings, and then change urgently.
The new generation of Terran civilization is still young and does not have the cost and opportunity of trial and error.
But... Prison Star Prison has no time.
People feel the crisis of going to the extremely distant place. The huge dust under the planet cannot understand the grandeur and order of the stars. If we tell those people about the seven-light-year ball, we will just sneer and tell them that we will not even know tomorrow's world.
You have to worry about life, so why worry about things far away?
We will have no sense of crisis.
Even if the stars in the world are about to fall, aren't there people who are low enough to hold them up?
Can we survive until disaster strikes?
Before we die, we will not care about the flood.
However, when the real disaster strikes in the universe, those great people, those who just think about tomorrow, will disappear even for the last second - and the low people in that world, these seventh-level people
Weak people, and ask whether they are really holding up the sky?
When the disaster actually occurs, the white darkness in the deep sky will arrive decisively, overturning everything and submerging everything, leaving only a trace of fire.
In that world, a very small number of people and work only think about tomorrow.
But I have to think about things that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago."
It turns out that the sorrow and peace that Inaga VII felt was for you... Ha, at least I am an emperor, but you are a rural lord.
It's just that I am more free, but you can do whatever you want in Nanling."
"In general, each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
Muttering to himself, Tao Yu closed his eyes: "The smallest enemy of order is indeed a chaotic world, but another kind of order that is reasonable..." Shaking his head slightly, Qingchao opened his eyes, and I retracted my thoughts.
."
Next, every evening, you will give lectures to them.
Including economics, politics, sociology and other aspects."
Putting his hands under the conference table, Qingchao said fiercely to Scott, Ian and Adbot: "Although you are also a professional teacher, they must also understand what you are thinking, so that they can provide guidance for the future."
You share your worries."
"As for now, let's make an announcement first - changing the world is too far, and changing the country is too small. Let's end with changing your own territory."
"yes!"
Everyone responded.
Before the war, the first batch of instructions came out of Lianyu Fortress, which attracted minimal attention from everyone.
However, when the soldiers posted the notice around the square, everyone who could not understand the common language was stunned.
Because the content of that announcement is very complicated.
[Starting today, all old tax officer positions in Ryan Territory will be terminated] [Those who are not willing to apply for the new tax officer position can go to the city hall to apply for the written test and interview] In addition, the soldiers also posted other notices
.
For example, the newly-established Territorial Defense Force hires personnel with "no education experience" as military education specialists. The salary is quite low, and it is still an army establishment.
Jiru said that the newly established ‘Agriculture Department’ of the City Hall is recruiting inexperienced growers and related alchemists to participate in the ‘New Agricultural Development Plan’ in the future territory.
For another example, starting from November 1, the entire Ryan Territory will conduct a comprehensive census.
Little news comes one after another, making people dizzy.
But it is the first instruction that is the most touching.
As expected, the ones who had the weakest reaction to this were the tax officials in the original Leian domain.
The business of Old Yug's tavern in recent days has been very special. Due to the food disaster in Nanling, not to mention Ryan City, even Nauman Territory has been forced to ban alcohol. For those who are addicted to life, they quit the tavern and have a drink.
For drunkards, it is simply not life-threatening.
But today, there were not one or four customers standing around in the bleak tavern. We drank sweet soda and chatted worriedly, with a relaxed and solemn tone.
The people outside are all tax collectors from the original Laian region - we are all local family members with no reputation on the street. We usually do not rely on our family's reputation and our respective strengths to collect taxes from various industries and districts.
To put it more complicatedly, it is not like the leader of the White People and Red People in Port Hutson - the civil affairs adjutant of Elder Puder will collect the taxes of the White People for Viscount Grant, and Marr, as the financial officer, will do the same.
Generally speaking, those tax collectors are not above the lords, but are actually the epitome of the power to establish territorial order. In particular, even if they have small rights of life and death, there are no lords with almost limited power in their own territories. In order to avoid
If it is troublesome to manage, we will let those people do things for us, and we will enrich our own pockets and secretly get some big benefits for ourselves. From the perspective of these lords who care about that aspect, they are not just cats that steal some cats.
As long as those families coax the lord well and make the lord feel comfortable, the ascendants only care about the big money.
But if you are a lord who is afraid of trouble... "Just go in like that?"
―A tax official said solemnly, I am the second son of the Ross family, and my family's reputation is that I can get a good plantation for more than ten yuan, which also makes me become the tax official in charge of a region.
That was the result of more than ten years of family operation. Back then, in order to win the position of tax collector, the Ross family fought openly and secretly with the Luoda family next door for a long time, and several people died in each of them... Now the new lord wants us all to take over with one sentence.
, recruiting new ones, how can we possibly be able to swallow that breath?
So I reluctantly complained: "Let us all go in, where will the lord have the manpower to collect taxes for me?"
There are so few inexperienced people in Leian City!"
"Enter.
Why enter?"
On the side, the old man smoking a cigarette raised his eyebrows and said: "Our new lord killed President Xilin on the first day he came to Laian Territory. This is a little thing smaller than us - you asked about it one by one.
Well, there is not a whole small family of White people in front of us, how can we be short of manpower?" I looked at the young tax collector of the Rose family and said with a smile: "The meaning of the young lord is actually very clear - the new era has come, but
No territory for me, no rules for me."
"Originally, what Dame Ryan said and promised is all in my mind."
Speaking of which, I shook out the ashes from my pipe: "That's the problem... As long as you are loyal to that lord, I will give you the written examination."
So what if I get fired?
Let's take the exam again."
Looking around, there was no one present. The old tax collector, who had experienced eight lords, thought he was satisfied and said: "You are inexperienced, even if the new lord is really willing to use you "loyal" old people one by one.
Just ask, does the city hall need a 'teacher'?"
"The other thing is, since we are all literate and numerate, is the city hall hiring an education specialist?
That means the lord needs you uneducated people very much.
