In the town under the city wall, there are people everywhere, and the citizens seem to be in the snow and ice, and it seems that they have been busy for a week.Benjamin looked down and couldn't help but feel that his territory seemed to have changed a lot during this period of time.
"Lord Earl Benjamin. Your subjects are actually very hardworking. They are not as lazy and ignorant as you said before." Priest Wendell covered his sleeves, looked at the earl with a half-smile and said, "Let's go, my lord." .Let’s go down and have a look together. We need your help with some things.”
After finishing speaking, the priest walked down the bluestone steps leading down from the inner wall. Earl Benjamin was slightly taken aback, feeling a little apprehensive.Benjamin felt that there should be no need for the priest to trick himself out and burn him to death.
The priest didn't need to lie at all.
Benjamin felt that before he was completely cleared of his crimes, in the hearts of these foolish people, he might be the demon who ate 'Earl Benjamin' and acted as 'Earl Benjamin'.I am afraid that in the eyes of everyone, except for those diehards who are still in prison, I am like that rat that crosses the street.
Benjamin didn't want to go down at all, but seeing that the knights had already followed the priest, he had no choice but to quickly raise his hood and quicken his pace to follow behind the priest.
At this moment, it seemed that the priest was the local lord, and the earl wearing a monk's uniform was like an old monk accompanying him.
Priest Wendell seems to be in a good mood today. After these busy days, the territory is on the right track.Now no one is afraid of the fog outside, and everyone is busy with this year's spring planting.
And the happiest thing is that the boss who arrived here last night gave great affirmation to his work.
This made Wendell feel that he has not been busy these days in vain.
On the way, Earl Benjamin saw that the dung heaps that had been piled up on the streets had all been cleared away, and even the melting ice and snow in the town had disappeared.
The glacier hasn't completely melted these days, so I don't know where all the garbage is thrown.But today's streets are already clean and tidy, and the busy figures are full of life.It's not as muddled as before.
There are many people on the street, including private soldiers, knights, and citizens.But without exception, when these people saw Priest Wendell, they all greeted enthusiastically, as if seeing their reborn parents.
Indeed, at the moment when these people worked together, they suddenly discovered that the mountain that was pressing on their heads turned out to be nothing more than paper
And the Wendell 'consul' next to the earl has become the person in everyone's hearts who leads them to hope for the future.
The enthusiastic eyes of the people and the vitality of the residents.It made Benjamin feel mixed feelings.
This territory has been completely subverted.The sky has changed!
From now on, I - and even all the nobles, from now on, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to control these commoners.
This is a transformation unseen in a thousand years!
Benjamin knew that during this transformation, the nobles had worked so hard for thousands of years, and the shackles that were fettered by the commoners had been completely liberated by these guys in front of them!No matter who it is, it is difficult to lock it again
Thinking of this, Benjamin looked at the back of the priest in front of him, resentment flashed in his eyes, but was immediately replaced by fear.
At this moment, Benjamin's mind suddenly flashed the words that the Great Lord of Dawn said to himself at the banquet - "I will send someone to help you clear up all obstacles that hinder the development of the territory. Don't worry about the so-called demons and blood plagues, for they hold artifacts."
At first, he thought that this artifact was given to Wendell and others by the Great Lord of Dawn.
Later, when he found that there was nothing in the priest's hand, he suddenly thought that the artifact referred to the knights led by the priest and the Holy See he represented.
But now he finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.
This artifact was entrusted to them by the Holy Knight and the Holy See. This artifact is the faith and the heart!
But when the hearts of the people gather together, no demon or calamity can defeat them.
But Benjamin never figured out why he would become an obstacle blocking the progress of the leaders
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to find the answer.
At least at the moment when he is sure that he can survive, he has the time and interest to think about this issue.
Therefore, at the moment Wendell looked over, Benjamin instantly concealed the confusion in his heart, leaving only obedience and awe on his face.
In order to change the subject, Benjamin asked a curious question, "Master Wendell, what are they busy with?"
"Spring planting." Wendell said slowly, "Your citizens don't have the habit of retting manure. It is not only a pity to throw these high-quality fertilizers into the river, but it is also easy to breed germs and pollute water sources. Although time is not enough , but after picking, doping, and retting these manures, they can still catch up with the second batch of fertilization."
Speaking of this, Wendell turned around and looked at the count with a half-smile, "Your land is very vast, and many wastelands were only used for grazing before. This year, there have been many more refugees and more labor here. So we plan to start land reclamation and farming - just using these fertilizers is not enough, so these days I got rid of Baron 'York' and led the soldiers to the ice wall. There are a lot of good fertilizers there. They have been delivered in succession in the past few days gone."
Benjamin pursed his lips, knowing the actual meaning of what the priest told himself - not only your vassals and retainers, but also your army is no longer in your hands.
The other side of the ice wall is a terrible forbidden area, and no one is willing to carry such things as corpses.But those guys can go here to work and move the corpses so happily.Obviously, the words of this great priest now are much stronger than what he used to say
However, Benjamin had to admire that this priest's ability in governing the territory was indeed far beyond his own.
Or in other words, he doesn't have any ability to govern, but just stands with these people
The territory is now well-organized, and many leaders have spontaneously formed a patrol team to check whether the citizens abide by the rules and dump the excrement and garbage on time and on the ground.
And those private soldiers who should not be able to get along with the civilians still worked with these civilians, and even rolled out a cart of food from the castle and distributed it to the refugees who lined up to receive the food
Earl Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. He knew that the grain accumulated in his barn might have been distributed.
This is all my property
Not only that, but he also found that quite a few people were still wearing the clothes of the castle servants, even their own old clothes. Wearing new clothes, it is no longer the ragged look before.
The number of these refugees is more than 2, so it should not only be the clothes in the castle, but the residents may have donated a lot.
Earl Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little strange. Previously, up and down the territory, they were extremely repulsed by these refugees crowded in shacks, thinking that they would bring plague.Moreover, these leaders usually don't whip their whips, so they don't know how to work at all.But I don't know how the priest arranged and taught hu)), now these people's faces are not only full of smiles, as if they regard that labor as the most glorious mission.He also seemed to get along very well with those refugees.
He noticed that some of the refugees turned out to be from residents' homes, as if they were already living together!
0458 A new era!new century!
"Lord Wendell" Earl Benjamin couldn't help being extremely shocked: "How did you do this?"
Wendell smiled slightly and didn't say much, but led the earl slowly towards the church.
What Wendell is doing in this territory is still George's old routine at the beginning. If he wants to persuade these civilians who have been completely brainwashed by the nobles and the church, they have to use fools.
These great priests have been deeply taught by George. What they do will atone for their sins, what they do will keep them away from demons, what they do will get the blessing of the seven gods, and so on, which will make them do many things spontaneously.
The plague and demons were not brought by the refugees, but because the residents did not help these people, which violated the core of the teachings of the Seven Gods.
But if you want to keep this atmosphere of helping each other and make them united as one, you don't just need to open your mouth.
To give real benefits.
Every resident with a refugee at home can receive an extra portion of food.This is the key to making them sustainable, and it is also the reason why these residents are scrambling to arrange these refugees.
It was originally planned that these residents, who usually don't have enough to eat, wanted to take good care of their bodies before the beginning of spring.So arranging for refugees and distributing food were done together.
Not only that, the small team of the priests divided the streets into communities in a grid, and the residents selected several candidates for the head of the community, who were finally appointed by the priests.Every community has tasks.There are benefits for completing tasks, and penalties for failing to complete them.
With more refugees, there will be more people who can work. Even some children and women can cook and wash, freeing up more labor for the community.What's more, most of these refugees who escaped alive are young and strong!
The most important point is that in the future land reclamation, helping their residents will also get a part of the food feedback from the fields reclaimed by the refugees.So whether it is the residents at home or the neighbors in the community, they are willing to help them.
In the past few days, many residents have proposed to build new houses for these refugees!Hope to get more rewards in this way.And Wendell also ordered the local jazz and scholars to discuss a suitable plan, such as using the value of these houses to mortgage and repay the food.
