Chapter 323 Our Way

The message from Solderin was crucial.

Anyone with a little brain can realize how this will affect the currently tense Typhon-Ansu situation.

For Gawain, this is both bad news and good news—not to mention bad news, he was worried when he climbed out of the coffin and saw a large area of ​​aberrations outside (the last version of Lao Tzu was a waste) In this matter, I am worried that the magnificent wall is gradually declining, and I am worried that the aberrations will more and more escape from the wasteland and come to attack the human world. The attack on the Typhon border means that the last aberration attack is far more The imagination is even more serious. The thousands of monsters that Cecil will face are only part of the aberrations that break through the magnificent wall, but on the other hand, the appearance of the aberrations, the enemy of civilization, may also delay the war...

Postpone the war between Ansu and Typhon.

Rebecca, who was very slow in this regard, realized the significance of this matter only after being prompted by Heidi. She blinked her eyes and looked at Gawain curiously: "Lord Ancestor, if the king and Typhon have The emperor is aware of the threat of aberrations, will he not be able to fight?"

But Gawain could only break the girl's thoughts: "Ansu and Typhon will have a fight, sooner or later."

This is the conclusion that Gawain came to after analyzing the current situation of human beings.

Rebecca obviously couldn't understand how this conclusion came to be. Even Amber, who had the most ghost ideas, had a cute face. Only Heidi frowned and showed a thoughtful look. Gawain didn't see it. To sell off, I simply took this opportunity to teach the people at the scene a lesson:

"Typhon has developed very quickly and is now very strong, but in fact it has reached a critical turning point and a bottleneck period, which is the most dangerous moment for it. Through many successful domestic reforms, the Feng's current population, economy, and military have achieved huge development. However, rapid development has also buried hidden dangers. On the one hand, the improvement of productivity means the improvement of resource consumption efficiency. This giant beast needs to devour a lot of resources to achieve The final transformation of society, on the other hand, the rapid population growth of Typhon, its officials and domestic aristocrats lack of effective new management methods, the huge population is gradually transforming into a heavy pressure on the empire.

"Whether it's for 'nutrition',

Or in order to release the pressure, Typhon must find an external means of venting.

"And there is a more important point: the reforms of Emperor Rosetta Augustus have gone so far as to touch the interests of the nobility, whether it is the return of legislative power to the royal family or the re-approval of the landed nobility across the country, it has greatly stimulated When it came to the sensitive nerves of those traditional aristocrats - although Emperor Rosetta used his tough tactics and personal ability to suppress the rebound and put the reform in place, this part of the pressure was not released.

"The development of the domestic economy has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the landed nobles of Typhon, but these benefits have obviously not fed those greedy guys who have lost many privileges in the reform, and Emperor Rosetta still needs to find more. Dividends, more dividends that justify his brilliance, to feed those still disaffected vassals - or to 'naturally and reasonably eliminate those who are not up to date' through the process of earning dividends.

"A foreign war is the best option - it can solve almost all the problems facing Typhon after the reform.

"Typhon has ruled all the land in the eastern region of the Great 6, and its expansion can only go in two directions. The south is the Gaoling Kingdom, which is obviously not suitable to start. The Gaolin Kingdom has the closest relationship with the Silver Empire, and the silver The elves' star temple is suspended above the southern strait, monitoring the large ancestral woodlands on the border of the high mountain kingdom. Do you think that once Typhon invades other countries through the ancestral woodlands, the silver elves will watch?

"So there is actually only one choice for Typhon, and that is to go north and treat Ansu as a victim. Among the four human kingdoms, only Ansu has experienced the terrifying civil strife in the foggy moon, and the national strength has declined the most. How can the people of Typhon endure it? live."

Rebecca listened to Gawain's analysis of these things in a daze, and the cute circle in her eyes almost never stopped, but her mind is still not slow (probably), although she can't think of it, she can understand it anyway, The girl's brows wrinkled on the spot: "That is to say... even if the two countries don't fight this time, in a few years, as long as those monsters don't make a big move, Ansu and Typhon will still fight? !"

"It's inevitable," Gawain nodded, "and even if the aberrations come out a few more times, as long as the Great Wall itself doesn't collapse, the two countries will still go to war at any cost - Typhon can't wait too long. , Rosetta Augustus is already middle-aged, and he doesn't seem to have a strong heir, so as long as he can't solve the hidden dangers in the reform in his lifetime, or even in his prime, then Typhon's A prosperous world will inevitably turn into a disaster as the emperor ages, and Rosetta himself understands this, and so can our king."

"...Is there such a complicated reason behind this war..." Rebecca said blankly, "Lord Ancestor, how did you understand this? It's not long since you were resurrected, but you didn't see anything. Seems to understand better than all of us..."

The more you see it, the more you will naturally have experience. As long as you see a little sign of many things, you can add all the causes and consequences to the same thing. This is the strength of the satellite spirit...

Gawain shook his head: "There is nothing new under the sun, and this world has not changed for thousands of years."

It is straightforward to say that no one can understand the satellite essence, but this way... Although no one can understand it, it is obviously much more compelling.

"Old friend, if I didn't know about your experience, I'd be curious about how you came up with so much," Soldrin shook his head strangely, "You didn't bother to think about these things back then, and you usually didn't like it directly. Just chop it off."

Gao Wen sighed: "That's because at that time everyone was poor and white, and there were only barbarians around except for monsters, and diplomacy was useless, and when problems came up, it was enough - now everyone is civilized, who doesn't want to use their brains? "

"Civilized people..." Soldering couldn't help showing a trace of emotion on his face when he heard the word Gawain said, and then all the emotion turned into a long sigh.

Just when Gawain was curious to ask why the other party sighed, the elf ranger asked a question first: "Old friend, why did you say that we were leading those tens of millions of refugees across the wasteland in the first place? How to build a kingdom in this barren land?"

The question came suddenly, and Gawain was stunned for a moment, while Heidi, Rebecca, Amber and even Pittman who were standing beside them all showed slightly curious expressions, as if they were looking forward to Gawain's answer.

After being silent for two seconds, Gawain smiled indifferently: "The great point is to lead the people out of the predicament, to protect and continue our civilization, the ordinary point is to just want to live - let everyone live. ."

"Yeah, even the most mundane thoughts are for everyone to live," Solderin smiled wryly, the cold night replaying in his mind as he crossed the Eastern Territory, "but you know what? In this piece of land that we fought together back then, many people can no longer survive.

"Have you heard of something called the Tenancy Amnesty Act?

"That's in the South, the Earl of Berry..."

The elf ranger couldn't hold back the idea of ​​voicing out, and told all of what he saw and heard that night - in his seven-hundred-year travel career, it's not that he hasn't seen the dark side of society, it's not that he hasn't seen More tragic, more unfortunate people and things than that, but as a high-level mortal, he has always looked at all this from the perspective of a high-ranking bystander. Only on that night in the Eastern Territory, he witnessed it with his own eyes and heard with his own ears. He was horrified by Ansu's current sinking after the dark details that he had never noticed before, and he couldn't help but say it all.

Some people in the room fell into silence, some people fell into thinking, but some people were more surprised than silent thinking.

Rebecca could hardly believe what she heard: "How can they do this? The Earl of Berry, and the knight who collects rent... How can they rob the farmer's land like this?!"

"There are so many things like this, my eldest lady," Pittman said quietly, who had not spoken for a long time, "Why do you think the land in the hands of so many landed nobles is increasing? Why do you think the kingdom is being reclaimed every year? New land, the number of peasants who have lost their land is increasing year by year, and the number of serfs is increasing year by year? Even if you can't see the outside situation, just look at this territory - this land is vast How did part of the population come from? Serfs, slaves, homeless people who lost their land, should these people be born with nothing?"

Rebecca's eyes widened, her knuckles turning white as she clenched her fists hard: "But... shouldn't the nobles protect their own people... Since I was a child, my father and aunt taught me this, and the instructions left by my ancestors back then Too……"

"If the ancestral teachings worked, there would not have been that bastard war a hundred years ago," Amber gave Rebecca a white look, "Do you think every nobleman is as stubborn as you?"

According to Rebecca's usual habit, hearing Amber teasing like this, she would have swung her staff and swept away thousands of troops, but this time, she was immersed in a tangle, and she felt that she couldn't understand: "But... …Don’t those farmers realize that this is a trap?”

Gawain lightly pressed Rebecca's head: "Rebecca, you forgot one thing, most civilians don't know how much one-third or two-thirds of a taka grain is, and also I don't know how much is twice a third of the taka, and they don't even know how much rent they will have to pay in five years. In fact, they can't even understand any of the 'tenant amnesty laws' promulgated by the lord. Word - the person who reads the lord's order is a noble soldier, and the noble soldier will never explain anything, so the actual situation is: the lord issued a decree, but most of the civilians know nothing about the content of the decree, they only know When the lord announces that he is collecting rent according to the law, he must not resist, and as for whether the lord is actually in accordance with the law... The lord said yes, that is."

"But there are always a few people who will understand..."

"Of course, there will be a few people who understand that some people can even memorize the decree after listening to the soldiers read out the decree. What's the use of remembering it?" Hetty, who was standing behind Rebecca, shook his head. The lady had deep sadness and sympathy on her face, "Do they have the ability to fight against the lord? Have the ability to find out the loopholes in these laws? Have the ability to make other civilians aware of the loopholes in these laws? If all No, then all they can do is memorize these things and tell them to a foreigner after losing the land."

Rebecca looked at Gawain: "Isn't there any way to change this situation?"

"Of course there is," Gawain couldn't help laughing at this silly roe deer who foolishly adhered to the "noble self-discipline" but was now in a state of confusion, "We are on this road."

Although...it's just the first step.
