Brother Lowell was born in a traditional family of prosperous church monks, with a wealthy family. Because he himself is quite talented, when he was a teenager, the family resources were concentrated on him, and he stepped forward vigorously in his early twenties. The first door, stepping into the ranks of the extraordinary.

People have never experienced any hardships in childhood, youth, and youth, and it is basically impossible to develop the greedy mentality of wanting everything in later life—those who have suffered hardships need to do their best and need to be enlightened , It even takes a little luck to learn this kind of calmness, this kind of strength without desire, Rowell can have it naturally.

After middle age, Lowell chose to become an ascetic monk. He put on a simple black robe and measured the ground with bare feet. Compared to his identity and status, he was indeed doing asceticism... But for those who are really ascetic Said, this is actually nothing.

After all, Rowell didn't really experience the wind and camp, the precarity, and the confusion of the future in the ups and downs; wherever he went, he would always be warmly received by the rich local family, and when the master arranged servants to serve him, Rowell would not Feel anything is wrong.

This kind of Lowell, who realizes the ills of the Principality of Shiga and the infirmity of the prosperous church, will instinctively and naturally become a Reformist.

Make changes to the laws and regulations of the country or the ruling group to safeguard the overall interests of the country or the ruling group and prolong the ruling time of the country or the ruling group.

It seems to be similar to the reformist (if the word is used repeatedly, it is afraid of reporting and fear of harmony. Everyone knows that someone stared at me and reported it, so I thought about it and replaced it with this inaccurate word. I believe readers Know what I am actually referring to here) different routes lead to the same goal, but they are not the same thing at all-what the reformists maintain is actually still the "legal system" of the ruling group.

Wu Qi's reform, Shen Buhai's reform, Shang Yang's reform, and Wang Anshi's reform were all written in textbooks, and it was impossible for Yang Qiu to misread them.

Reformers can also understand that if civilization does not advance, it will retreat, but reformists often seek so-called more stable, moderate, and less drastic social changes.

There are not many such people, and they even occupy the mainstream among the "confidantes of the imperial court · talkative party". Economic colonization is the mainstream, and the more intense traversers are nothing more than overthrowing the emperor and becoming the emperor himself. There is no difference in essence.

It is fundamentally different from the eloquent martial arts and iron-blooded spirit of the reformists who "can't rely on gods and emperors, and simply overthrow all of them and start all over again".

Because of this, Yang Qiu has always had reservations about Rowell's ideals and determination.

He will agree with Rowell's ideas and is willing to express his support for Rowell, but he will not say more opinions and suggestions-because his opinions and suggestions must conflict with Rowell's original heart, and it is also Rowell's opinion. Will would consider it "too extreme" and unwilling to adopt it.

Anyway, reformists are not completely unacceptable. This route can also slightly improve the business capabilities of the ruling group and make society progress a little bit.

I just didn't expect that Anthony, the "microphone" that Brother Lowell randomly picked, this former tailor apprentice, thief, and Kenyan fugitive with no ambitions and no ambitions, unexpectedly pierced through this layer. Torn window paper...

When Rowell looked at Anthony in shock, Yang Qiu, who was watching Anthony from the air, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"I really missed you, you brat?!"

Yang Qiu didn't dislike Anthony jumping out to remind Rowell for him, it was more useful for him to speak out than to remind him himself.

But when he thought that this guy had been a "New Village NPC" in the "New Village" for more than two years, Yang Qiu became a little angry.

Anthony, who has a rough shell and a delicate heart, didn't know that he was being watched by Yang. Seeing Rowell staring at him in shock, the strong Kenyan man said in surprise: "Master, you don't really think that Hal and the others are willing to give Yang a slap in the face." Workers? When the undead invaded Inadoli, Hal and the others were still thinking about running away!"

"You...you wait." The chaotic Brother Lowell put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and opened them slowly, "You are...you want to say that you didn't start out—you Was it actually forced by Yang?"

"Isn't that right, who is willing to give—" Anthony just said in the middle of it unhappily, and suddenly remembered that Yang Neng heard his words, and quickly changed his tone, "If it weren't for the treatment Yang gave us, it was not so strict later. It’s up to us, who would like to deal with those impolite undead all day long?”

"But didn't Tuttle manage Westam well?" Rowell's tone began to tremble.

"Tuttle's father was just the captain of the National Guard's archers when he was the most beautiful. Yang asked him to be the Lord of Westham, so why don't he take it seriously?" Anthony seemed to have just discovered that the monk's IQ was low. The question looked at him strangely, how could such a big man not understand even the most basic human sophistication, "Although this kind of puppet lord is terrible, but at least it is decent enough, otherwise Charlie Rex and the newcomer ...What's his name? Coulson? This kind of young master from an aristocratic family is pinching his nose and struggling, how could Tuttle refuse?"

Rowell didn't believe all of Anthony's words, but he understood that Anthony's words were also quite true, which was enough to make the ascetic monk doubt his life.

"Why do you say that?! Could it be that Tuttle was moved by Yang's ideals and was willing to follow Yang, so he conscientiously became an excellent lord?" Brother Lowell's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Anthony couldn't listen anymore, wished he could grab Brother Lowell's shoulder and shake him to wake him up, and couldn't bear to look directly at him and said: "You think too much about them...Tuttle used to be A thief like me!"

"Even if you don't talk about Tuttle, you know Mia, Collins and the others, a bunch of country people who have never seen the world, you expect them to be moved by ideals? Are you kidding, monk!"

"Others don't know, but I know Collins. This old boy heard that Mia went to Westham to do well. Everyone called her Ms. Mia, so he started dreaming that he could be respected by others. Yang sent the undead sages to educate them, and he was very active in attending the lectures, that old boy just wanted to get ahead and make a lot of money!"

Brother Lowell glared at Anthony, and actually described his outstanding Shiga compatriots like this. If Anthony was not too weak, he would beat them up.

Anthony was glared at by a high-ranking priest, his scalp was a little bit fried, and his heart began to feel hairy. He quickly apologized and smiled to himself: "Actually, I want to say... Yang found someone to help him, basically A person with no future has no choice anyway, so why not let Yang just throw some benefits at will, and everyone will go all out to grab it?"

"Wagner Peet, who was in the newspaper a while ago, is still a captive brought back by the undead, and now he is the lord of the new town of Adler. When I went to deliver supplies to the prisoner road construction site, Hal still He told me a lot of embarrassing things about this old boy..."

"Okay, don't talk anymore, let me be quiet."

Brother Rowell tiredly raised his hand to stop the chattering Anthony, walked to the side of the road tiredly, and sat down cross-legged facing the field.

Anthony wisely shut his mouth and squatted beside him obediently.

It was spring, and the people of Shiga Principality were also busy with spring plowing.

In the wheat fields not far from the dirt road, there are bare-chested and barefoot farmers in twos and threes, pulling heavy wooden plowshares and plowing the ground with difficulty.

Brother Lowell stared at these farmers for a while, his expression gradually becoming a little dazed.

The price of fabric is unbearable for farmers. Most farmers will take off their clothes when doing heavy farm work, and only wear ugly pants to avoid being worn out.

These farmers go to the town to do odd jobs during the slack season, and they often take off their jackets to avoid wear and tear, and this kind of love for clothes will be considered by the townspeople as ignorant of etiquette and disregard of shame, so they despise the country people... Rowell When I traveled barefoot in my early years, I knew this kind of misunderstanding and discrimination among the people at the bottom due to mutual ignorance.

Brother Lowell knew very early on that the life of the people at the bottom was difficult. He also proposed to reduce the tenth tax share of farmers in the Prosperous Holy Land-this was the reason why Lowell had conflicts with the priests of the Holy Land at the beginning.

Later, Brother Lowell was very dissatisfied with the extravagant atmosphere of the Holy Land and the upper echelon of the Principality... The Prosperous Holy Land is close to the Shiga King's Capital. When maintaining a special status and not allowing others to wear their old clothes, and ordering servants to burn them centrally, the poor people who cherish the old clothes and are willing to wear their own skin can't help but flash in their minds.

Before knowing Yang and knowing Yang and his undead regime, Rowell had the idea of ​​hoping that the church and the principality could change, but he didn't know how to do it.

During the days of staying in Westem, and feeling the changes that Yang and his undead brought to the Rhine Kingdom, Brother Lowell regained his previous thoughts, and his purpose became clearer. .

He believes that he can find companions who look forward to changes in the Shiga Principality and the prosperous church as he does, and work together to make his country and the church he loves better; when he first tried to "break the ice", his eyes sparkled Joyce Andre, and the anticipation and excitement of those apologists who had followed him for many years, gave Brother Lowell great confidence.

Despite the objections of his great-great-grandson Lance, Lowell's confidence was not shaken in the slightest.

It's just that reality gave Rowell a heavy blow. After the apologists who trusted him were transferred away with excuses, he couldn't find a second batch of people who were willing to share his ideals with him.

Brother Rowell couldn't help but began to doubt himself. Could it be that he did something wrong this time?

Just like how he rashly proposed to lower the [-]th tax without any preparation back then, doomed to fail?

Until now, Anthony told him "another truth" - what he saw, those who desperately changed the Rhine Kingdom under the guidance of the undead regime were not driven by ideals, but had no choice.

This is like telling a seriously ill love brain that TA's husband/wife has been with TA for many years not because they have true love between them, the other party is purely for money, sex, or other purposes... …

If it weren't for the fact that Anthony was really weak, he would be crushed and helpless if he made a move. Rowell, who was in grief and anger, might have already fought him.

Brother Lowell looked blankly at the busy farmers in the field in the distance. The words Anthony just said that made him very unhappy, even angry, kept circling in his mind.

At any rate, he met Yang before the undead played Tarantan, and walked among the undead. Of course, he knew who was working under Yang's hands.

But he didn't seriously consider what kind of thoughts these people who gradually gathered around Yang, voluntarily or involuntarily, had in their hearts.

During the days when Westem lived there, he only saw these people, led by the wise men of the undead, burst out his amazing ability to deal with affairs, and their enthusiasm to get things done and done well.

In Anthony's mouth, the Lord of Westham, Tuttle Joe, who secretly rejoiced at the status of the puppet lord and worked hard to be more beautiful than his father, in Rowell's eyes, was a man who got along with Ji Tang, the mayor of the undead town, who cared about the poor and the weak, and cared about the poor. Living as a farmer in the countryside, standing up for the weak, and standing up for women's rights...a man of perfect morality.

Brother Lowell, with a broken worldview, had the urge to hug his head and yell "You're lying", and then stand up and beat Anthony hard.

After a long time, Rowell, who tried hard to control himself not to vent his anger, let out a faint sigh.

"Is there no choice...?"

Anthony, who was squatting numbly, stood up and moved, and hurriedly leaned forward: "We should start, monk? It will be dark after a while."

Brother Lowell sat still, shook his head, turned around, and looked at Anthony calmly.

"Anthony, only those who have no choice at all are willing to try a new path, right?"

"...huh?" Anthony understood Rowell's meaning, and said in a puzzled manner, "What are you talking about, monk, why do people who have a choice follow Yang?"

"It's not like you haven't seen how ruthless that guy is. I knew that he hanged a bunch of Rhine nobles before I left Tarantan. There are also a lot of former nobles, consuls, rich People are building roads; decent people will suffer wherever this guy goes. It's hard for all decent people in Nabaron to hang out with him. If he doesn't fall down, it's fine. Someday he doesn't, we people It's a dead end for people!"

Brother Lowell's mouth twitched when he was told the truth so straightforwardly.

Yang Qiu, who was watching this side from the air, dragged Anthony directly to the execution... Ah no, on the backup list.

No wonder this guy has been lingering in Xinshou Village, and he has been thinking about the way out so early...

Very good, you are gone.
