Orson County does not have the same conditions as New Marsh City.

It does not have the advantage of river transportation. Only part of the county boundary is at the tail of the Buber Plain. The county is mountainous and the soil is barren. There are no special products that can be sold. According to statistics, there are some mineral deposits on the land of some lords, but now the population is withered. , Relying on outside assistance to barely restore order, it can only be temporarily put aside for the time being with their current masters.

Because of the two barriers created by New Marsh City and the rebel army, Orson County has a rare opportunity to develop freely without interference, but this kind of freedom is so empty that people can't realize it.The road to wealth that people can think of is extremely limited, but it is also blocked by the existence of New Mahy City and the rebel army—mainly New Mahy City.

But this is just the barrenness in the eyes of Orson County people. Does the working group ask them such a question, does it mean that they are really possible to do it?

Because the biggest advantage of Xinmaxi City is not transportation, population and land. It was just an ordinary small river port city in the past. It is only because of the arrival of foreigners that it has what it is today.Its current prosperity is not based on trade, and before it was transformed by foreigners, the rulers of the old city delayed them for a long time. The biggest difference between Orson County and Old Marsh City is that their territory The nobles were almost wiped out in the execution ground tragedy. After Bishop Selis took power, there is not much power here that can hinder them.

It is exactly the same as New Mahy City, of course it is impossible.There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there is no need for Orson County to become another New Marsh City, but it is indeed possible for the people of Orson County to live like farmers in New Marsh City—with land , having a house, high-yield crops, and guaranteed harvests from drought and flood are almost all of a farmer’s ideal life. For this, they need farm tools, livestock, and seeds. infrastructure construction.

All this is possible in Orson County today.Actually they are already doing it.

In the two months since Bishop Seliss returned to Orsonshire they have done a great deal: they have recovered a great deal of land, an amount which would at once make one the greatest landowner in the district, and sold some of it at a very low price. Lease to those who have no land or little land, and exempt the first year's land rent, rent all kinds of metal farm implements and tools from them; collect and buy a lot of livestock, let them recover slowly through careful breeding, and wait Spring came in handy; with work for relief, various projects were carried out so that those who were in trouble could obtain the necessary means of survival; a brick kiln, a wood processing plant, and a water-powered And great mills for animal power... and so on.

These things—almost all of these plans were first proposed, and most people thought they were difficult to achieve, not only Bishop Seles’s companions thought so, but outsiders were also ridiculed—because Seles Bishop Lisi holds all the land in his hands, and refuses to share the benefits he got from the Gentiles. They have already been considered out of line by them. They are happy to see them being taught by reality, proving that the evil ways of the Gentiles are here. Can't get through.

"Then shall we stay here and cook some soup for the poor souls?" Bishop Seles said.

So they did.

The working group played a big, big, completely irreplaceable role here, but other people didn't just push all the responsibilities to them, and almost everyone was doing what they could.With concerted efforts, they have completed many plans step by step. Today, these people who are united with Bishop Selis for various reasons and accept the leadership of the working group can completely say that Orson County can achieve success in such a short period of time. The improvement is also due to their contribution, which is something to be proud of.

Even the people who were least optimistic about them in today's Orson County can no longer say that what Bishop Selis and the others did was useless.The bewildered hearts were calmed down, and those who wanted to escape from this place flowed down; the corpses in the corners of the streets and in the wilderness were collected and buried. The dead air above everyone's heads began to dissipate; the town became popular again, and the business showed a little sign of recovery. In the shop designated by Bishop Siris, food began to be sold again. Although there was a limited amount every day, these Food, like those small workshops, is an "excellent omen" for people.

People's support for Bishop Selis is completely sincere, and this loyalty cannot be shaken-they must rest on the goodwill of Gentiles, and Gentiles will not recognize other than him.

Of course, a stable and developing Orson County is what New Marsh City needs. The pioneers are not afraid of the enemy's provocation, but as long as conditions permit, they are more willing to create a stable environment. The foundation of regional development that radiates several or even dozens of countries does not want to be disturbed by too many other factors.

No matter what the pioneers want to do, they will act quickly once they make a decision. They have almost no internal disputes, clear plans, reasonable division of labor, and are more enthusiastic about work than pleasure. Today, they began to mobilize for winter works.

The material foundation has already been prepared—of course, the huge amount of goods at the fair is not just for those big-bellied merchants and village representatives who can credit on credit. In fact, what they take away from the fair is far less than the total amount of the warehouse One-tenth of that, and the rest will become the ballast stones of the new currency system promoted by New Mahy City; the publicity is also in place-before the fair starts, the street management at all levels has received quite a long list, People made a decision after being fully informed, and the trade fair only aroused their enthusiasm; the people in charge of various projects have also been selected, and two-thirds of them are loyal, capable and persistent pioneer representatives For these young people, since the city has decided to expand the stage, it is natural that they should support the new repertoire.

When the first batch of builders set off, the city held a simple but grand farewell ceremony for them. They stood in rows, like soldiers waiting for inspection, and their captains stepped forward to receive a speech from the city's highest authority. People's hands took over the banner that belonged to them.At that time, the Union Troupe had not yet left, and there were no colorful clothes. These well-loved actors wore their usual clothes, stood on the side of the road, and sang "Song of the Laborers" for these long-distance builders. The neat and majestic singing rose to the sky on the wind and flew across the wilderness. The seeing-off crowd watched the teams leave the city one after another, as if they were going to the battlefield. The sound waves gradually dissipated in the wind, but the invisible soul resonance surpassed The region reverberates in the minds of more and more people.

Within one month, New Mahy City dispatched 36 construction teams with a total of more than 5000 people to six construction sites.

Then, they started preparing for the second big dispatch.

"What? The second time?"

"I thought that was all there is to it!"

"They are so spared no effort, what is their goal?"

"Quick! There's a new announcement on the notice board!"

"'Broadcast' is about to start! Everyone be quiet!"

The actions of the Gentiles were like a giant beast stirring up the pond. Even if it was only limited to the Buber Plain, others had to pay attention.So some definite news came out from New Marsh City, saying that 5 people would be put into this series of projects in the end, and both the number of people and the scale of the projects were rare in the world.No one can ignore such news.No matter how closed the lord was, he would jump up from the castle in shock at such a shocking move by the foreigners. Even the city-states and countries in the lower reaches of the river were still unable to grasp what attitude they would take towards the foreigners.

Didn't send a warning to anyone - the fairs have shown the arrogance of the Gentiles, but that's the real arrogance, these Gentiles who come out of nowhere don't just ignore the King and the Church, ignore them Neighbors who are so unscrupulous, wielding power that only the sovereign can wield over land that does not belong to them - and that no one can stop them, is truly terrifying, downright nerve-wracking.In addition, people had to change their perception of Gentile wealth and power again.

As we all know, the Gentiles have no allies. Although they started out as a trader, they disrupted the order of business and life wherever they went. Therefore, their relationship with chambers of commerce and banks has never been good. Before the news came out, no one thought that they would really do such a big thing and be able to do it.Because according to common sense, no matter how alarmingly the city accumulates the wealth of the entire plain and adjacent areas, even if they are all drained, it may be difficult to support such a huge project.But just like they said before that controlling the plague and fighting against natural disasters is beyond human power, this time it seems that common sense still doesn't work for foreigners.

They are unscrupulous and determined to go their own way, neither giving people the opportunity to cooperate and make good friends or mediate relations. After the new Mahi City has withstood the impact of a wave of [-] disaster victims but survived, some people have a bright eye and say that it is an enemy of foreigners. It is unwise, it is better to seek the law of coexistence. It is true that they are rebellious, but looking into the past, these foreign visitors did not receive the treatment they deserved.But every time the smug lobbyists have not set off, these foreigners who never follow the rules create new troubles, and become more antagonistic to the king and the church, making it more difficult for those who want to make a difference in politics .

Contrary to the ambitions of the Gentiles, they are extremely narrow-minded, and always overreact to minor offenses, as if they are eager to show their strength to others—but a master mage from the downstream city-state invited their spies into In the tower, to ask some questions about themselves, the foreigners even broke the tacit agreement, and sent their white giant boats to cross the canyon, break through the checkpoints, and flaunt their might to the city-state. Important buildings in the city, including the statue of the city lord, were smashed to pieces, forcing the city lord to damage his relationship with the mage and send the foreigner's spies out of the country.

Everyone will remember that day, when the white god of death crossed the river, no one on board could be seen, but an attack that was difficult to detect with the naked eye poured out from the black hole, causing bursts of water splashes on the river surface, disrupting the pier The stones splashed, forcing the city-state's armed forces to back again and again. They could only watch helplessly as a small boat was lowered from the white boat. A foreigner and his servant swaggered to the shore and rudely demanded that they be released immediately.

The negotiations were only disturbed, and they couldn't bear it, and immediately started to attack.

It was a scene that even nightmares cannot describe. A city with a long history and known for its fortification and fortification, the defense they were proud of was as fragile as an eggshell under the attack of the white ship!The earth is trembling, the city walls are shaking, people who don't know what happened think that the end is coming, screaming and running out of the house, watching the hammer of thunder and fire from the river go up the steps step by step on the street. After crushing the city's most famous waterfall, ants-like crowds poured out of the beautiful mansions in the hanging garden, and fled in all directions just like the civilians in the city.However, the white boat's trip was obviously not to harvest human lives, and the attack finally stopped at the mountain behind the mage's tower.

Boulders rolled down on the jagged cliffs, and the spire of the mage's tower collapsed. Although this was a great shame to the mage, many people saw the flickering and bursting wall, and knew that the mage would endure this A humiliation—no one would spare their lives more than them.

The city of Primhall, by its dauntless courage, confirmed to other spectators the strength that the Gentiles had shown to the lords of the Buber Plain, and the people were grateful for their demonstration.

Of course, the reputation of the Gentiles got worse again.They obviously don't care too much though, they're not doing anything to make their reputation better anyway

But for the others, especially the remaining lords around them, the news that the White Ship had attacked the cities downstream reached their ears, and what aroused was not hatred and jealousy, but a deeper sense of fear.I heard that the king and the church have sent people to contact the downstream cities, wanting to encourage them to unite and take revenge on the Gentiles. It is not surprising that those messengers failed to achieve their slightest purpose - the white boat can go down the river, but if they To swim upstream, the Gentiles would keep them from even getting out of the canyon, which was not difficult at all.However, these envoys were not all fruitless. Some people contacted them and expressed their willingness to lend money to the king so that he could gather strength to regroup and drag the Gentiles to the Buber Plain.

The king will not refuse.

Not only did he not refuse, the capital was also very active in this regard.But for the other lords of Buber's Plains, realizing it felt like a great betrayal.Although the foreigners are close at hand and the lords are under tremendous pressure, after the harvest season, they still try their best to send as much grain to the capital to alleviate the crisis the kingdom is facing. However, their efforts have not received any rewards. Theirs was total abandonment—to confine the Gentiles to the plain meant that all the lords of the place would be their bread.

No one knows better than them how rapid the development of Gentiles is, like a flood that will drag everyone into a disaster, but now the lords have a little change of mind, especially after knowing that three lords have voluntarily surrendered, And after signing a covenant with the Gentiles.That document still does not show that the Gentiles accepted the surrender of the three lords, but the other lords, who are increasingly finding it difficult to survive, have decided not to restrict the people in their territories to perform their covenants with the Gentiles, even in order not to give the Gentiles a reason After pursuing the door, they also sent people from village to village to urge the villagers to report to Xinmaxi City.

The pioneers did not use follow-up measures. The labor contract that was not particularly optimistic at the beginning was [-]% fulfilled. In fact, more people came than the number agreed in the contract. They did not drive these extra people back, but Arranged the same.

So these people who left the village anxiously were given new clothes, shoes and socks before taking a second look at this legendary city, and they squeezed into the huge convoy driving from New Marci City to the construction site with them, shaking all the way Shake until it finally hits the ground.

Before setting off, people imagined the life they were about to meet. After they actually arrived, they observed the environment in front of them, but they didn’t see what they thought they would see: there were no naked slaves, and no The supervisor of the whip; at the same time, they also saw something that they thought they would see: some construction sites were astonishingly large, with people everywhere at a glance, dusty, and even legendary alchemy creations working with people.And other construction sites look more ordinary—ordinary, almost like a well-planned village, but there is no natural village with such straight roads and so many identical houses, surrounded by square fences. In the vegetable garden, the ditch passes by the door, the ditch is dry, revealing the new color of the soil underneath.

These villages are so organized that people are not used to them. People who live here may easily go to the wrong door, but this is not important at all. The important thing is that they are so short——short as if the trade fair opened yesterday built in time.From scratch, everything is new.In fact, migrant workers from all over the world have already experienced the "fastness" of foreigners. Think about how short the time it takes for the trade fair to be completed, but the trade fair is held in a city, and many people seem to think that this It is another way for the Gentiles to show their strength, and they are naturally very careful about it.

As for the word "new village", it is difficult to arouse any novel ideas in people's minds.People are too familiar with villages, the settlements they have lived in for generations, and they can't imagine what other appearances they can have.Now it seems to be true, these villages are new, the roads are wide, the houses are beautifully built, tall and strong, the vegetable gardens and canals are very pleasant arrangements, and it is desirable to settle here-but They are still just villages.

Those who immigrated here still have to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, pay taxes to the landowners, and perform labor services, although under the rule of foreigners, these new farmers should be happier than people from other territories Much more, but fundamentally, it seems that there is not much difference between the two.

At this time, the season has completely entered winter, and the construction team of New Marsh City has completed the most tedious initial work and laid the foundations of various construction sites. Work together with the early builders who got up, and gradually go from being at a loss to knowing what to do when.Together with the builders from New Mahi City, they continue to expand the scale of these new villages, making them suitable for hundreds or even thousands of people to live here. In addition to building houses, they also need to build pools, expand or clean up ponds, Some villages with suitable conditions will build public mills, and places without conditions will place stone mills all over the village.All new villages must have prescribed public facilities.

"Public facilities", the remote people who came to participate in labor finally heard a word that was completely new to them.

They are library, conference room, public canteen, public toilets and small square, which can be increased or decreased depending on the situation of the village.In new villages that have more land and thus more people to accommodate, there are still primary schools with classrooms and classroom dormitories. Because the school needs to occupy a relatively large area, facilities such as libraries and public canteens are often integrated. Together, so although it has a "small" character, it is the largest and most eye-catching center in the new village.

They are equal in status to churches.

It wasn't until they saw these plans and understood their functions during the construction of these facilities that people understood why these new-style villages were as important to foreigners as long-term road and water conservancy projects. The places that are different from other cities in Mahi City are also migrated to these villages, not only for the people living here to cultivate the land and multiply, they want to turn these places into "New Mahi Town" just like sowing seeds "New Mashi Village", every remnant of the old order must be cleared from this land.

Even people from distant lands are not easily converted by a little spiritual shock, but they are not at all surprised by the attitude of the Gentiles.Of course, the war of faith must be done decisively.Since the church, which has long monopolized knowledge, proclaims them to be poisonous fruits, and says that people who eat them will suffer disaster and long-term pain, although their desires are temporarily satisfied, it is natural for the Gentiles to establish education to bring people out of ignorance. liberated from.

They don't wait for the relevant facilities to be built before doing this amazing undertaking, they are doing it anytime, anywhere, using every opportunity.
