Chapter 89 Merchants and Natives

It is definitely not easy to achieve this step. The indigenous people in this land are somewhat xenophobic. After all, in the eyes of the indigenous people, those outsiders are either nobles or nobles. They will not be polite to the indigenous people who are slaves.

.

Even if this land later became a bare wasteland, and the nobles and nobles would never come again, most of the merchants who risked their lives to sell things were people who wanted to take advantage of the natives.

Businessmen want to get the best products from the indigenous people, but they are only willing to pay the minimum amount of money. They don't care at all how much the indigenous people pay for their products, they only want to strive for greater benefits.

The natives are not stupid. They naturally know that their products are too cheap and want to get more, but the relationship between buyers and sellers is completely unequal.

That is to say, in terms of supply and demand, merchants have the upper hand. Without external supplies, the indigenous people would not be able to obtain some necessities, such as salt, which is not produced at all on this land.

The merchants did not give the indigenous people any chance to bargain. The things the merchants brought were too important to the indigenous people. If they did not buy them, their survival might be affected.

In this case, the indigenous people had to sell their own things at low prices in exchange for supplies for survival. Without giving them, the indigenous people would have no chance to go out. They did not have the most primitive funds to go out, and they had no conditions outside at all.

There were even a few particularly lively natives who went out to take a look at the situation. In the end, they found that they couldn't understand or understand at all, and if they didn't do anything right, they would be betrayed.

This situation was brought back to this land, causing the indigenous people to regard the outside world as an abyss. People outside were either malicious and wanted to sell the ignorant indigenous people, or they were kind-hearted, but in no case

You can't even protect yourself.

This situation makes the indigenous people somewhat fearful of the outside world, because if they do something wrong, they will be doomed, which makes it difficult for foreigners to gain the trust of the indigenous people.

The indigenous people have to rely on foreign traders to contact the outside world, because the people on this land really lack enough food and daily necessities and have to rely on outsiders for supplies. It is normal to have distrust towards strangers.

As businessmen, did the strangers do anything wrong? In fact, from the perspective of businessmen, they did nothing wrong. They are also human beings and need to support their families in Hukou, so naturally they cannot do any charity.

I came here to make enough profits, but you must know that entering this land is also a huge risk. Most of the land here is bare, with poor food and housing, and if you don't do it well, you will die.

Not only is it related to the external environment, but it is also more likely that some indigenous people are anxious, thinking that the businessmen are treacherous and hateful, and want to take a chance, aiming their knives at the strangers, hoping to get rich suddenly.

The merchants feel that they are risking their lives to sell goods. After all, the merchants who come here to sell goods have suffered a lot of losses. They are trading their lives for wealth and honor. Naturally, they have to raise the price. Each side has its own position, and they are destined to do so.

It's impossible to be friends.

Although the merchants are very cunning, it is undeniable that without their arrival, the life of the indigenous people would be more difficult. If some necessities were not available, the indigenous people on this land would probably die.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the indigenous people need the existence of merchants, which gives the indigenous people a chance to live. Although they are annoying to the indigenous people, they have to admit that merchants are completely necessary.

Even if the intelligent indigenous people do not like businessmen, they also know that it is best not to harm those businessmen, otherwise the indigenous people will be the ones to suffer the most. Therefore, once they find that an indigenous person is hurting a businessman, the indigenous people should stop it quickly.

But when the merchants found out, they were very angry and even planned to never come again. Later, they even wanted to raise prices. They also liked to engage in random activities and dig holes for the locals if they failed.

Most of the indigenous people have no cultural knowledge and education, and those who have received some education are very rare. Most of the indigenous people who were born as slaves cannot read a single word.

In this case, the natives naturally suffered a loss without even knowing it. Fortunately, most of these natives were very tough, and the businessmen did not dare to give them away with nothing, so they still gave them some money.

If you meet a knowledgeable person among the indigenous people, it will not be easy to make money. This depends on whether the indigenous people can see through the trap of the businessmen. Naturally, the indigenous people will also realize the importance of knowledge.

This is also the reason for Edward's rise, just because he had a good father who provided him with some education. Even if it is far from the highest level of education in the world, it is still much better than the average indigenous people.

The situation in the wasteland began to improve rapidly at a certain period of time. The indigenous people were surprised and happy when they found out about this situation. What was surprising was that they didn't know what was going on. They had never thought that any miracle would happen.

After experiencing such hardships, the indigenous people basically did not have any firm religious beliefs. After disasters occurred one after another, no matter how they worshiped the gods, it was not very effective, and they did not provide any help in their suffering. As time went by, the gods

There are no believers.

The natives were a little confused when they saw the oases appearing, thinking that the gods were finally willing to help them, but Ling Xiao would never give his credit to any god, but would stand up to claim his own credit.

Not only did he not want to give credit to a certain god, but also because Ling Xiao knew that after the oasis appeared, it was still very fragile and needed the care of others, so Ling Xiao found the indigenous people and asked them to be responsible for its protection.

In addition, it also brought more foreign goods to the indigenous people and took away unique indigenous products. The prices were relatively reasonable, allowing the indigenous people to get more benefits.

It can be said that Ling Xiao's vest was very successful and influential, but that vest disappeared after that, and he only wrote a letter of introduction to another vest, that is, the Guangming Academy opened by Ling Xiao.

Even if Ling Xiao comes with a special letter of introduction, it doesn't mean that the natives will accept Ling Xiao immediately. They have suffered too much and are naturally more wary of strangers.

Fortunately, because of Ling Xiao's other vest, some of the natives' hatred for foreigners was somewhat restored, and they now know that foreigners are not all bad guys, but there are also top-notch good people.

Even so, the natives did not immediately accept Ling Xiao's new vest. The reason why they accepted it was because what Ling Xiao could bring them was too tempting.

The people in this land have no educational resources at all. Even though the dean comes from the colorful world outside, the natives are somewhat wary, but more want to see what Ling Xiao does.

In the end, the Guangming Academy from outside came to fruition, and the senior officials of the town who were selected by Ling Xiao could be said to be the happiest, because they knew that if this person was really capable, they would benefit from it, and there would be well-informed people buying real estate in the town.

Under this situation, the houses in the small town became valuable. Some ill-informed people sold their houses when they saw the price increase, only to find out later that they could never buy back the houses they once had.

The indigenous people on this land were cautious at first, but later found that the dean was very generous and did not care even if some people made money under the flag, so that some people felt that the benefits were too easy.

Later I discovered that the dean was not a pure scapegoat. Even his generosity at the beginning was a way to test people's hearts. What he said at the beginning was too simple and did not have much value.

The dean didn't care about the spread of those things. Instead, he made an inspection of the conduct of those students. The next actions let others know that the dean had always been aware of it, which made many people give up the idea and calculation of taking advantage.

.

Later, they discovered that the dean had a strong force value, which made them dare not easily offend the dean. Later, when they learned about the knowledge taught by the dean, they were even more afraid to seek trouble. Those who did find trouble were suppressed by the town's senior officials.

It is precisely because of the Guangming Academy that the people on this land have learned a lot. This is why the indigenous people are wary of outsiders, but they have accepted the academy.

Of course, there is another important reason: the dean basically does not interfere in the affairs of the town, and he does not think about how to get some benefits for himself. No matter how he looks at it, he looks more like he is here to help the poor.

Regarding the word poverty alleviation, another Majia from Ling Xiao said it, which made the indigenous people in this land feel sad. They are not just too poor and belong to the largest group of poor households in the world.

Ling Xiao's actions made the indigenous people who love this land finally accept Guangming Academy. The senior people in the town actually wanted the academy to create a class with longer study time, because the previous classes were mostly quick courses and not very perfect.

.

After receiving this request, Ling Xiao thought about it for a while, and realized that she could implement her plan, but she did not plan to accept all the children of wealthy people. Some of the children who had no money would also be included, and some women were required to be admitted.

Although Ling Xiao knows very well that many women often return to their families even after learning, but after learning, the situation will become much bigger for women, and Ling Xiao hopes that they will have more opportunities to choose.

For women who return to their families, Ling Xiao will not say anything bad about them, it is just a personal choice. After all, the tragedy of the war has a great impact on women's sensitive personalities, and some people may not be able to accept fighting and killing.

At the same time, not all women cannot accept fighting. In fact, there are still women who do very well. In future generations, there will be women working hard in various industries. Therefore, as a woman, Ling Xiao had this idea, and she must always give some

A chance for awakening women.

And even though women were not suitable for fighting, they could teach others knowledge. Ling Xiao thought about what his students would do in the future, and not all of them rush to become officials.

It is about having some people become teachers and bring the light of education to more people. Yes, Ling Xiao feels that a good teacher is a beacon, illuminating the way forward for people who are lost in the darkness.

the way.

She doesn't want the knowledge she teaches to become something that only a few people have. If that's the case, it means she has failed. But even so, she will still choose to teach knowledge, because maybe there will be a spark left, and one day in the future

It will start a prairie fire again.

Winnie naturally didn't know what Ling Xiao was thinking, but she still knew a little bit, because Edward would talk to his wife about things in the town, and Guangming Academy was the one he talked about most often.

Although Edward was the best in combat in the town, he knew very well that he was not good enough yet. He wanted to take a step further, but he could not find a place where he could improve. He waited until Guangming Academy to finally find a place suitable for progress again.

Speaking of which, Edward looked at it with some curiosity at first. After some observation, he found Guangming Academy and wanted to ask the dean to give him some guidance. Before he went, he was a little uneasy, fearing that the dean would not give him any guidance.

You must know that Edward's father has lived outside for many years, and he knows very well that masters are often reluctant to give others easy instructions, for fear that the disciples will starve to death.

Edward found that he had reached a bottleneck and couldn't get out, and he couldn't find a suitable person to talk to. He kept thinking about what to do, but couldn't find a good way, so he bit the bullet and went to Ling Xiao.

As a result, Ling Xiao didn't talk nonsense, but had a fight with Edward, and quickly pointed out the issues that Edward should pay attention to, which made Edward suddenly enlightened, so he admired the dean's ability a little more.

As his wife, Winnie naturally knew the name of the dean. She was really nervous when she came today. In addition to seeing her son, she also hoped to see the dean of Guangming Academy.

When she actually arrived, she felt a little uneasy for a while. Even though she had never met the dean, she knew very well that the dean was kind to her son and also kind to her husband Edward, so she naturally had to come with a very respectful attitude.

She looked at it with some curiosity, and Edward pulled her open the door, looked inside, and couldn't help but smile at Winnie, "Look, Fili is here."

As soon as Winnie heard this, she didn't care about anything else. She picked up her skirt and ran over. However, she soon discovered one thing: she couldn't recognize that it was her child, so she saw many children practicing. Which one was her son?

?

The person standing at the front was an adult in black. When he saw the couple, he didn't care at all and just taught the children to continue practicing.

Ling Xiao naturally saw the couple and was already prepared for Edward's arrival. He just smiled and had the couple taken away to pick up Feili.

Edward and his wife were led to the reception room to wait, and Winnie saw the painting. She caught sight of the beautiful green eyes, so she walked over quickly.

"Winnie, look, this is the portrait. It's really similar. In fact, Philip really looks like his grandmother. I hope this child will have a good life."

"Yeah! It's really that good." Winnie took a step back and looked at the woman in the painting. This distance was better, and she could see that this woman's clothes were more like the clothes of women in the outside world. No matter how you look at them, they look very different.

pretty.

I don’t know what my son will look like. Although I have some imagination with my grandmother, the difference in gender between men and women will still make my son a little different from my grandmother, right?

At this time, someone brought food and drink. As soon as Edward saw it, he and his wife went to wash their hands. Winnie was a little confused as to why her husband was so rude and didn't sit in the living room. What was he doing out there?

"Winnie, try it. The food cooked by the college is very good, even better than the food bought outside. You just come to try it." Edward said, and handed the food and drink to his wife.

Winnie was a little funny, but she still tasted it and thought it was really delicious. Edward said: "Is it delicious? In fact, I plan to ask the dean to give me a recipe so that I can have it at home in the future."
