Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The fief of Baron Norman's family is in Port Moses - just by listening to the location of this fief, one can know that their family will not be poor.

The financial situation of Baron Norman's family is indeed good, but in terms of wealth, it is actually limited... Among the four generations of male masters, there are three young men who have spent their energy on "obsessed with art", so naturally they don't have much thought To run a family business.

Even if Baron Norman is very sincere in paying for his life, he can only use reserved words such as "I am willing to thank you with all I can afford", which can already explain their family's economic status. up.

Of course, after all, it is an aristocratic family that has lasted for more than ten generations. Where is the family property? It is not particularly well-off economically. The old aristocrats with fiefs and properties, compared with the baron of Inadoli, the Norman family should still be considered rich.

The life-saving gratuity that Baron Norman raised temporarily and brought to Innadrie, and planned to pay to the Church of Gold Coins, was [-] gold coins.

It is worth five years of income accumulated by a middle-class family without eating or drinking, and it is worth a quarter of Westem’s original annual total agricultural tax... enough to buy a magic pneumatic car newly launched by the Kenyan Empire. There is no shame in driving on the streets of Wangdu in any country.

Yang Qiu really felt this sincerity.

Since Baron Norman is so sincere, Yang Qiu is certainly not a person who will procrastinate on purpose. He made an appointment with the baron on the spot to go to the city lord's mansion to "exorcise demons". Brother Lowell made a phone call and asked him to guarantee the Baron's life during the exorcism...

To Yang Qiu, expelling an unintelligent monster parasitic on the human body is nothing, and the difficulty of the operation is lower than that of setting up a genuine teleportation array for living people.

The real difficulty lies in ensuring that the host will not be sucked dry by the instinctively resisting monster during the exorcism process; and when it comes to limiting the resistance of the monster, there is nothing more suitable than a high-ranking priest.

In fact, it is not impossible to ask Bishop Li Jinn for assistance, but Yang Qiu is not willing to share Baron Norman's "sincerity" with others... Brother Lowell, who does not talk about money, is more reliable.

Brother Rowell, who had been "cold treatment" for Yang Qiu for a long time, was silent for half a minute after receiving the call.

"Rowell?" Yang Qiu asked on the phone.

"I will come." Rowell replied blankly and hung up the phone.

The ascetic monk took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, and walked a few steps into the yard: "Walton?"

The captured leader of the Solari Cult, Ben Ham Walton, strode over while shaking the mud on his hands: "Yes, monk."

Walton, who succeeded Wagner Pitt and worked for Brother Lowell for three months as housekeeper, gardener, cook, valet, and all-around worker for the neighbors, now has the shape of a working people... Only wear in cold weather He wore a jumper with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, his hands and platform boots were muddy, and there were some mud spots on his trousers.

When Wagner was around, he was always sent by Brother Lowell to help the neighbors in the neighborhood, and Walton had a similar fate when he came—he had just returned from helping the neighbors repair the leaky cellar.

"Tomorrow we will go into the city, you can go to the town hall to borrow a carriage." Rowell ordered.

"Good monk." Walton washed his hands at the faucet in the corner of the courtyard, went into the room, took his coat and put it on, and hurried out the door.

After changing out of the muddy shoes, changing the ordinary clothes for going out into home clothes, and sitting by the coal-burning stove as usual, Rowell took out a book from the bookshelf by the wall.

Brother Lowell read the "Golden X Plum" that Rex mailed to him several times from beginning to end.

Turning the pages of the book, Brother Lowell let out a light sigh as his eyes fell on the text that he had read several times.

This folk vernacular novel, which has been circulated in China for hundreds of years relying on manuscripts, really has its unique charm, the most straightforward presentation of human nature hidden under the skin of eclectic stimulation and market culture, and the line drawing The seemingly cold but actually compassionate sympathy for the oppressed in the style of writing has a direct shock to the soul for the older literary youth who can understand the deep meaning of the article.

The more ugly the characters in the text are in front of the matter of life, the more unbearable the heartache for the readers.

To what extent can a normal person be pushed by life, and if readers who stay out of the matter, whether they can have other choices if they live in a different place, and whether they can live a more "decent" life than the characters in the text, this is to interpret this story with compassion. For anyone with this classic novel, it's hard not to think about it.

Thinking about this step, if the reader has a higher social status, a higher vision and ideal, it is difficult not to think more deeply about the next question: what makes life so important to the struggling bottom? difficult?What kind of society is needed to avoid the tragedy in the article?

The cultures of intelligent groups are common, and human civilizations across dimensions also have many things in common. In the world of "Jin X Mei", the wicked get their way, and in the fish and meat village, women rely on their only primitive capital to snatch a man's favor to survive Resources, the bottom layer is fighting each other to the death... In this world, the same target can also be found.

In the process of reading "Gold" repeatedly, Brother Lowell always kept in his mind the anecdotes that he knew, or that had not been circulated in the Shiga Principality, his hometown where he had lived for 300 years.

The more connected with reality, the more frightened Brother Lowell could feel.

The characters in "Golden" seem to be able to see the shadows of women in Shiga Principality.

A vicious woman who kills her husband, a humble woman, does whatever it takes to please a man, regardless of dignity or decency.

Brother Lowell hadn't heard the phrase "the old society turned people into ghosts", but he saw it from "Kim"... life turned women into ghosts.

The Chinese literati in the feudal era might not call for women's rights, but when they felt sorry for their own fate, they would instinctively compare themselves to women, expressing their misfortune in the most forceful way.

Similar "culture" also exists in this world... operas created by unsatisfactory celebrities, with women as the protagonists, more or less have their own shadows in them.

Rowell doesn't want to rely on creating female tragedies to feel sorry for his own unsuccessful people. He is a senior priest of the Prosperity Church and a black-robed ascetic monk who ranks first in the Prosperity Holy Land, but... he has never felt it either, Obviously everyone knows that women are oppressed more severely, but no one is going to change this reality, isn't it wrong?

Until he read the book "Gold" from another world, until he saw with his own eyes that Tuttle Joe, who took over as Lord Westham, spoke out for women's rights under the influence of the mayor of the undead town.

Brother Lowell has been squatting in Westham all the time, not because he has had such a long dispute with Yang Qiu, but because, as a conservative, he has always disagreed with Yang Qiu in his heart, allowing the undead to make drastic changes. The ascetic monk in Westem's social form, while shocked by the fact that he has been under his nose but ignored by him, is secretly ashamed with complicated emotions, while silently observing the changes in Westem.

Before Yang Qiu's invitation call came, Brother Lowell had just returned from the road construction site outside the town.

There was a light snowfall in Westham a few days ago, and the weather outside was very cold, but this did not stop people's enthusiasm for working in exchange for payment.

Brother Lowell has been running to the road construction site for a while. During this time, he has seen many hardworking farmers and townspeople brave the severe cold in exchange for food and wages, and also saw many women busy on the construction site.

There are peasant women from the surrounding countryside, as well as women from the town.

They do the same work as men, transporting the excavated mud and stones with carts, digging roadbeds with hoes and shovels, and standing in the cold muddy water, pulling stones and grinding and shouting to tamp the ground.

Women are not as powerful as men. When doing the same physical labor, they will appear more embarrassed than men. They have to squat down hard, blushing, and hide their facial features in order to push the boulder that men can push without too much effort. Blocks are pushed out of the embankment.

When breaking those big rocks, their movements of carrying the hammer are much uglier than men's. Every time they hit it, they have to use all their strength, which is not at all elegant.

But for the sake of salary, and two meals of dumpling on the construction site, which is enough to take home, the women are not at all willing to give up the heavy physical work that makes them embarrassed and ugly, and work harder than men. work.

The people in charge of the construction site didn't dislike that it took them more time to complete the same project than men. As long as they could complete the prescribed workload, everyone could get paid fairly.

Brother Lowell observed these Westham women who did not conform to the inherent impression in his mind for a long time. The more he observed, the more he felt... his worldview was being shaken.

Rowell himself disagreed with many of the policies implemented by the town hall. For example, the mayor of the undead insisted on letting young people who had been prostitutes and male prostitutes serve as clerks.

But the result is that these clerks with not-so-good backgrounds and experiences have indeed completed their duties, not much worse than those children from good families with cleaner backgrounds and higher education levels—even because their backgrounds are really not good. For good reason, they are more willing to devote higher concentration to work to complete the tasks assigned to them.

In the rectification of the town road, men and women workers are recruited at the same time. Although Brother Lowell didn’t say anything on the surface, he didn’t take it seriously in his heart. He thought that men and women working together would cause problems and would slow down the rectification of the town road. process.

But the main road in the town was completed on time, and the factory workshops that used the former clubhouse and former brothel building were moved in with machines, connected to electricity, and started production one after another before winter entered.

Now, Rowell no longer dares to secretly object to this road construction project where male and female workers work at the same time, and just acts as a quiet bystander.

During the half month of continuous observation, Rowell didn't see any big conflicts among these people with little education, let alone quality, and he didn't see any day's planned project volume slowed down because of the workers.

Quietly being a bystander who didn't think about anything, and didn't speculate about anything randomly, Rowell vaguely saw something.

It's not that when men and women are put together, they will create indecent relationships or confrontational positions. What kind of action people can exert actually depends on how the organizers arrange it.

Organizers are not greedy, do not arrange unfinished workload for workers, do not rely on deductions for self-interest of workers; are not biased, pay full salaries to some people, while others do not get it - don't let workers pay for the inequality of wages There are internal conflicts, whether men and women are put together is not a problem at all.

The crowd will never be divided by gender. The differences between women and women, men and men are far greater than between women and men-there are lazy people and hardworking people in the male and female groups. Crowds are stupid things.

The result of the observation, combined with Brother Lowell's insights in "Gold", gradually made Brother Lowell realize... Yang has been clearly showing him the truth, but he insists on refusing to admit the fact:

There is a reason for Yang and his undead to despise the current systems of the countries in Nabaron.

Whether it is the Rhine Kingdom, Brother Lowell believes that the principality of Shiga is superior to the Rhine Kingdom in terms of overall environment, they will deliberately limit the abilities of some people (women, low-ranking people) and confine them (them) within a specific range It is not allowed to cross the line, and in turn blame the women (lower ones) for not being able to do anything.

The undead do not have such stereotypes that restrict the ability of certain groups of people to show their talents, but also despise the uselessness of certain groups of people. In this way, they can better explore the potential of human society and show better talents than human consuls.

This reality makes Brother Lowell somewhat embarrassed, but he must also admit...he cannot dislike the social reforms promoted by the undead. The tragedies that have been heard and seen in the long years will be much less, many.
