Harmony Village is a rare and pleasant place in the Northland. Although at first glance, the sky, land, vegetation, houses and other places are no different here. But people living here can smile.
Zhou Qingfeng does not collect taxes and only monopolizes the commercial shops in the village. He didn't levy hard labor indiscriminately, and instead spent money to hire people to do work. He values population, and life is worth a few dollars in his eyes. He hates the consolidation of class, and the untouchables can have a way out.
Compared with other towns, the more than two thousand people in Harmony Village live very comfortably. The law in the village is very simple. There are no rules that specifically torture and restrict the lower level, and there are no unrestricted privileges to the upper people.
This is great good governance, and no one dislikes it.
The people in the village spontaneously love David Victor Hugo, they know who their happiness comes from? Of course, the old profiteer Rubio was also ordered to organize a small number of internal propaganda, to clearly explain the good and evil in the world.
Harmony Village has been established for more than half a year. When Zhou Qingfeng returned from Banshee Fort, Cyric made a rare sigh in his mind-the souls of the villagers have become much purer, and many people have a tendency to evolve towards red.
The source of the people in the village is complicated. Even the most numerous Black Forest natives originally lived in a dozen conflicting and even hostile settlements. In addition, there are a large number of adventurers and refugees from other places, and their minds are even more chaotic.
When the complicated population fell under Zhou Qingfeng's command, a brand new rule began to restrict them. Don't fight randomly, don't bully the weak, you have to be civil and polite, and you can have a meal by keeping yourself safe. Those who do not follow the rules are expelled from the law and executed.
Different from the previous rules, they seem awkward but have a huge impact. Forcibly reverse the original hostile interpersonal relationship, and the extremely utilitarian thinking is gradually changing. This is the biggest difference between Harmony Village and other places, but few people can explain it clearly.
The change in thinking is very slow, but it is difficult to detect in the village. But Cyric was trapped in Zhou Qingfeng's mind and ran with him everywhere. After the quantitative change triggered the qualitative change, the mad god, who was very sensitive to the soul, finally noticed the difference.
People in the village come and go, seemingly normal. But even the most rude barbarians are learning to use words like'please, hello, thank you, sorry, goodbye' to talk to people. In the past, they just slapped the table and shouted "Hi".
Reshaping etiquette and integrity is something Zhou Qingfeng has never thought of but has been doing. His original intention was to look at many situations that were not pleasing to the eye.
After repeated training, education, and restraint, the gray souls of the villagers have become more agile and active. Some people with high aptitude even revealed a few traces of crimson, which is a sign of advancement.
"This scene can only be seen in big cities where life is affluent." Cyric has rarely praised Zhou Qingfeng. But when he came back this time, it was extremely excited, "If half of the villagers become red, it will be a great success."
For gods, low-level souls are not qualified to believe in them, and the belief in high-quality souls is the foundation that sustains their existence.
Zhou Qingfeng turned to the military camp in the village, where his rookie guards were trained. These children, whose average age is 15 years old, have grown a lot and become stronger now, which is very different from the fragile appearance at the beginning.
Fifty guards receive martial arts training by the old knight Nasai during the day, and Xili teaches cultural classes at night. After half a year, both their physical and mental outlook have been greatly changed.
Zhou Qingfeng came in from outside the barracks and yelled "lined up". The guards scattered on the training ground can line up in a simple row in half a minute and report the count quickly. In each line, the squad leader stood up and reported to him, speaking clearly and simply.
Cyric began to boast again: "Yes, yes, their souls are very good, stronger than those outside the villagers. As long as they train for a year or two, they will become low-level fighters, and at least half of them will be able to advance in five years. Intermediate."
Zhou Qingfeng briefly reviewed his guards, but in his mind he asked Cyric: "What are you crazy guys trying to say?"
"I'm learning from you." Cyric laughed. "Victor Hugo, you are indeed a genius. I always wanted you to be used by me, but you didn't want to. I am upset and angry about this. Even violent, but I was wrong.
You can't hide everything from me, why don't I just learn from you? In addition to the idiot Kelly, I have countless believers, a large number of wise pastors, and more reliable voters.
I compiled what you did and passed it to my believers elsewhere in the form of an oracle. You can do it so successfully in a poor Northland, and I will definitely be able to do better in other places. "
Hahaha... .. Cyric’s laugh became harsher and more frantic, "Victor Hugo, you can't fight me after all. I am an invincible god, a god of murder, and great The dark day.
You are just a mere mortal. All your successes will be copied by me, and I will do better than you. You will eventually find that your so-called wisdom is too ridiculous. "
You can do better, I can do better.
Cyric's idea is that simple.
Zhou Qingfeng declined to comment. He simply encouraged the guards and turned to look at the other side of the training ground. In addition to personal guards, he also recruited a group of adventurers.
For example, Enissa's retainers, Black Forest natives such as Luke, and foreigners who are naturalized like Adrian. These people can use it immediately, the number is about 20. But they are not disciplined, and they always carry an aura of gangsters.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to these adventurers, leaving the old knight Naser and the halfling Kaili to manage. Hearing the shouts of'line up', they stood up but huddled together, laughing.
It wasn't until Zhou Qingfeng's face was ugly that the adventurers lined up a little.
"Your Excellency Nasser." Zhou Qingfeng shouted, "Let these people practice."
The old knight stood up and waved his hand to let those adventurers practice one-on-one for his boss. But Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said: "I am not very interested in personal bravery. Let them wear armor, change wooden weapons, and attack my guards."
Everyone was shocked, and the adventurers even laughed. The old knight whispered: "Your Excellency Hugo, your guards have made a lot of progress in the past six months. But against these veterans, you will lose miserably."
"That also let me see how miserable it is." Zhou Qingfeng was very stubborn. He just doesn't like the casual appearance of those adventurers. "I know how miserable it is to know how to practice next? I will not allow a pile of waste to waste food."
When the leader spoke, the people underneath would naturally recruit.
The rookie guards went to put on armor. It was those adventurers who lazily grabbed some wooden weapons wrapped in rags and stood in a random group. In the latter's eyes, those rookies are at best armed attendants, who can only do some chores.
All the rookies in the line are equipped with spears. This cheap weapon is specially used by serfs. Following the call from the old knight, the adventurer opposite them immediately took a point, skillfully avoided the front of the spear and attacked the two wings.
Zhou Qingfeng did not use the'Holy Light' to command the guards. There was no need to watch the next battle. The rookies were defeated. They were beaten up by those adventurer veterans without holding them for a minute, and they almost sat on the ground and cried.
The veterans who won easily, haha proud, and even stepped on a few humiliating feet, making those rookies suffer more.
The old knight sighed behind Zhou Qingfeng, "Your Excellency Hugo, your guards are actually good at training, but after all, they are too immature. Without your personal command, they would lose miserably."
Zhou Qingfeng whispered: "In half a month, we are going to Coldwind City. This kind of actual combat drill must be conducted at least once a day.
Let the rookies figure out how to deal with it. I hope they can cooperate and use their brains more. Tell them that there are people outside the village who want to live their lives. The waste is not qualified to live. "
Before he finished speaking, Cyric also yelled: "This kind of training looks good, I also want to learn, I also want to learn. I want to rebuild the "dark sun dagger" that used to run across Faerun, and also follow this method. practice."
Zhou Qingfeng's face sank, and he cursed with disdain in his heart: "Cyric, you are really crazy. The gods embodied in the rules want to learn from me, but in the end I am afraid that they will "take the cat and draw the tiger" and seek their own death!
