Wolf King

The sun had already set, and the darkened sky could not provide sufficient light sources, but this group of people appeared with torches. When they came out from the path on the side of the forest, Primo, who was a human race, was more impaired than his natural eyesight. Harris, a limited number of snake walkers, could see the appearance of this group of people clearly at the first time.

The expressions of the two of them have not changed. The human kingdom is the area where they have lived (have been) for a long time. Primo and Harris have enough understanding of this continent that is independent of other continental plates.

The Snowwolves and Cats couldn't be as calm as them. Even Xiao Yun, who "knew enough about humans", was so shocked that he forgot to manage his expressions for a while.

This is just a group of ordinary humans, the most common local residents, commoner clothes, straw sandals, some wearing oily hats, some with pipes in their waists, and most of them have conspicuous years on their faces The nicks, face, neck, arms and other skin with sunburn marks common to southern coastal dwellers, are the kind of ubiquitous civilians that are hard to impress.

What's unusual is...the two men in disheveled clothes, cuts and bruises and blood dripping dragged by a few stronger locals walking in front.

The strangers standing on the main road did not attract the attention of the locals. They came here naturally after they got out of the woods, and they didn't care too much about bumping into strangers; if the blood dripping on the dirt road was not too glaring, The low groans sent over were a bit creepy, but this scene looked extremely normal and harmonious, at least judging from the behavior of these locals, it was not worth any fuss.

"Huh..." Ah Shan turned to look at Xiao Yun in confusion, "Ah Yun, aren't those two people injured?"

The local people walking in front heard Ah Shan's question, looked up to this side, and looked a little unkind, as if they were tired of foreigners meddling in their own business, and cast warning glances.

Xiao Yun gave Ah Shan a comforting look, then frowned and looked at the group of locals.

The two people being dragged away can be seen to be younger, a man and a woman, and their clothes look exactly the same as those of the locals. There are also sunburn marks on the exposed skin, and the palms of the more seriously injured man hang down Calloused, with black mud in the nails, this is obviously not a local attacking a foreigner, but more like...a local lynching.

"Wait." The moment the two groups of people passed by, Xiao Yun stepped out of the queue and stretched out his hand to stop them.

At the front of the line, the strong and strong farmer was extremely impatient, but he seemed to be concerned about half of the strong men in this group of outsiders, so he suppressed his anger and asked stiffly: "What's the matter?"

"We are just passing travelers." Xiao Yun introduced himself, pointing his hand at the two dying young men, "I don't intend to be nosy, but these two seem to be in poor condition, may I ask, they committed a crime What's wrong?"

"Since you know you're meddling in other people's business, then don't meddle in other people's business!" the farmer in the lead shouted unceremoniously with his eyes wide open.

Xiao Yun looked at the other party with a strange look, and said with a half-smile: "I think it's more appropriate to satisfy our curiosity than to irritate us, what do you think?"

The grass-roots patriarch stood firmly behind Xiao Yun with his tower-like body, and Mu Mu and A Shu also surrounded him from left and right.

"..." The farmer took half a step back, exchanged glances with his companions, and said with great reluctance, "We're just dealing with young people who elope in the village. You'd better not worry too much, strangers."

"Elope?" Xiao Yun laughed when he heard this, "Young men and women elope, at least they have to bring some belongings and packages, but they are empty-handed, and none of you are carrying things. Even This pair of men and women are extremely poor, and they don’t even have a change of clothes, but how can I see them... Although their faces are more swollen, their eyebrows and eyes are very similar? Could it be that this pair of young people who eloped are actually close relatives?"

A wild hand-made technical house that can make pottery statues that are [-]% similar to real people. Quickly identifying and remembering people's facial contours and facial features are the minimum basic skills (those who have learned sketches will understand); in Xiao Yun's eyes, the pair of men and women Not to mention the bruised nose and swollen face, even if it is disfigured, the facial bone structure, especially the similarity above the cheekbones, is as obvious as the lice on the top of a bald man.

"Outlanders, are you looking for trouble?!" The leading farmer's face was flushed and his eyes were wide open.

Xiao Yun, who has experience in grassroots work in provincial construction, saw this reaction, and was so familiar with it...Ye Luzi, a contractor, or a "trickster" who wanted to embezzle the wages and property of his relatives and fellow villagers, was exposed and wanted to fool around. Basically that's it.

From Xiao Yun's heart, he is unwilling to seek trouble for nothing, but this time is obviously a good time to "teach" the clansman - when assisting Laura Philip to rectify the Bolton territory, he did not encounter a similar opportunity. The Bolton Territory, which has sucked a lot of blood, is so sparsely populated that oppression among the people lacks the soil to breed—so he must be in charge of today's business.

"Obviously, if you don't keep this couple, maybe both of us will be in trouble." Xiao Yun said honestly and bluntly.

"You—" The farmer was about to get angry when his companion stretched out his hand and motioned him to look back.

The two walkers, Primo and Harris, have each drawn out their weapons and blocked the back of their group.

The locals despise foreigners, but that doesn't mean they are so ignorant that they can't even figure out who can be provoked and who can't. The villagers who came out empty-handed to arrest people are still afraid of foreigners with sharp knives.

In desperation, this group of villagers had to leave the young men and women behind, and ran away quickly while cursing in a low voice.

Xiao Yun ignored the people who ran away, and knelt down to check the injuries of the couple.

Both of them had fractures of different degrees, and there were valgus wounds drawn by irregular sharp surfaces (such as stones and branches) on the body surface. If the bleeding was not stopped quickly, hemorrhagic shock might occur; Wash the wound, spray some alchemy potion to disinfect and stop the bleeding, and then wrap the wound with white cotton cloth; the woman with fever symptoms fed a pill provided by Harris, woke up for a while, and only faintly called "Help me Brother" and fainted again.

"Sure enough, they are direct blood relatives." Xiao Yun took a clean blanket and wrapped the girl up, and held himself steady, letting the grassroots patriarch pick up his brother, and then hurried to the small town.

This small town close to the border usually does business with travelers and caravans. It does not ask the origin of the guests at all, and provides an independent small courtyard with a certain degree of concealment after paying.A group of people moved in to build a fire and boil water, wash their faces, wipe sweat, and cook food by themselves. Harris saw that there was nothing he needed to help, and after cleaning his face and hands a little, he rushed to the room shared by Xiao Yun and Primo.

"The wound in this place should have been drawn out by the thorns. The skin is rotten. If there is no medicine to treat it, it will definitely become infected, fester and die." Just now he simply stopped the bleeding, now Xiao Yun had the time to cut open his brother's wound with a knife. Clothes are dealing with injuries, the more you look carefully, the more you frowned, "This brother seems to have been beaten to death, and he didn't intend to keep alive, what a hatred!"

Holding a knife, Primo picked out the thorns that were broken in his brother's flesh. He shrugged and said, "I grew up in the town. When I was young, whenever I made the old man unhappy, he would threaten to kill me. Send it to the countryside. Anyway, in my impression, the countryside is a brutal place that makes people tremble."

"How do you say it?" Xiao Yun took out the medicine bottle and poured it on the bloody flesh that had been pricked.

"For example, Sean's hometown is Cronin. Where there are nobles in the countryside, the villagers are all the livestock of the nobles. Where there are no nobles in the countryside, the steward of the nobles will become the 'god' of all the villagers. In order to let his son Serving as errands for the housekeeper, they can even push little boys of the same age into the well... If a strong male master dies in any family, then the woman had better take the child and remarry quickly, and give up the original land, house and property, otherwise They will lose their lives as well as everything."

Xiao Yun's hand shaking the medicine powder paused, and while taking the medicine, he sighed: "Okay... I have to pay attention to the scale of teaching the clansmen."

"Ayun, it's great that your people have you." Primo couldn't help it.

"It should be put another way, Primo, I am so lucky to be part of the snow wolf clan." Xiao Yun said ironically, "If I was born in a human kingdom in a human kingdom, and I was not lucky enough not to be born in a Can you imagine what will happen to me if I become a family with a high status and become a child who is valued and cared for?"

Primo: "This..."

"If that's the case, right now I should be quietly turning into bones in a wasteland somewhere?" Xiao Yun laughed at himself.

"It's not funny at all." Primo smiled wryly.

Harris stood outside the door listening for a while, then left lightly.

The brother who was seriously injured never woke up, and the younger sister who was slightly injured woke up in the middle of the night after receiving treatment. Xiao Yun comforted the unknown peasant girl in a low voice for a while, and figured out the cause and effect of the accident between the brother and sister. , followed by a difficulty.

The so-called nothing new under the sun, the experience of this unlucky brother and sister is not surprising to Xiao Yun, who has undergone the baptism of the era of information explosion on the earth-the younger sister who can barely be described as having good facial features was sent by a family in the village who has connections with the nobles. (The son works as a coachman for the housekeeper of the aristocrats.) Seeing that the elder brother fled with his younger sister and was seen by the villagers, the "big family" became angry and organized the villagers to chase them out...and then was caught by Xiao Yun and others.

Whether the two brothers and sisters are left in the town or sent back to the village, it is no different from wanting their lives. There is no other way, Xiao Yun can only take these two on the road after dawn, and resettle them in the next town... The mobility is extremely low, and it is almost another world if you are a hundred miles away. Only when you stay far away can the brother and sister have a chance to survive.

Leaving the small town in the last darkness before dawn, carrying the brother and sister on a simple stretcher, they ran a hundred miles away in one breath. In the afternoon, they found a place near a water source to rest and had a picnic. Xiao Yun called everyone together My son, take the experience of the brothers and sisters as a case to teach the clansmen a lesson.

"That is to say, someone wants to form a partner with my sister, but my sister disagrees, so she and her brother are bullied?" The grassroots patriarch heard the lawsuit in his head, "Wait ah, Yun, we know the human world To be a partner is to be male... the male has the final say, but no one else is willing, so how can you do this?"

"That's right, even if they are forced to form a partner, the cub will always want the younger sister to give birth, right? If the younger sister is unwilling to incubate the cub, then what's the use of forcing the union?" Da He said.

"This question, we have to peel off the surface to look at the connotation." Xiao Yun could well understand that the females of the Snow Wolf Clan were more responsive to this, and raised his hand and pressed down to signal Dahe to calm down, "From the surface, it seems that this is courtship. I can't be angry, but in fact, from the beginning to the end of this incident, it has nothing to do with courtship, and it has nothing to do with forming a family or raising offspring."

"??" Not to mention that the Snow Wolf Clan & Cat Clan were full of question marks, Primo and Harris, who knew enough about the human world, were at a loss.

"In this incident, the farmer who oppressed the brothers and sisters was not out of need for a partner or family members, but a display of turning the tiny power in his hands into actual benefits." Xiao Yun said calmly, "This farmer's son Being a groom for the nobleman's housekeeper, this relationship has created an extremely weak but real connection between the farmer and the noble. This connection makes the identity of the farmer clearly different from that of ordinary villagers. He holds The lowest and most tiny power. This power allows him to respond to all the villagers, and it is extremely simple to force or clean up the villagers who are ignorant and do not kneel to him."

"He demonstrated his own power and showed the villagers his ability to deal with those who disobey him. From now on, he will have more voice among the villagers, and no one will challenge his authority. This is the realization of power."

Everyone: "Uh..."

"But why do other villagers have to listen to him?" Dahe still couldn't accept this irrational logic, "Don't other people think it's wrong to do so?"

Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "This is what I told everyone, the end of the power enfeoffment system is reflected. I said that the power enfeoffment system is extremely harmful and extremely affects collective development. Everyone can't intuitively understand it. So today Let’s take advantage of this incident and let’s do a drill... If a group or a team fails to establish a correct and orderly rule system, but instead manages with the feudal system of power separation, what a terrible situation it will cause.”

"First of all, assuming that I am the leader with the most right to speak in our group, all of you are used to listening to me and doing things according to my orders." Xiao Yun raised a finger and pointed at his chest, "As a leader, I have the obligation and responsibility to manage our team well, because you who have not formed a team gather around me, and my so-called leader is worthless."

That’s all for the first part, but the latter half makes Harris sweat... Although the sage Ayun is making a metaphor, the content contained in these words is really—too straightforward!

"I am alone, and I have to face so many people. Everyone has to be treated and taken care of equally. It is obviously very tiring. At the beginning, I treated everyone equally. After a long time, I became impatient. Then I I just thought, is there an easier way to manage you guys who are always causing trouble for me, so that I can save some trouble? How about being lazy?" Xiao Yun continued, "After much deliberation, I am alone It is really troublesome for one person to be in charge of everyone, I should find two people to assist me, I will distribute the power of the management team to them, and they will manage people and affairs for me, won’t it be easy for me?”

"So... I chose Primo, who has the strongest force, and the grassroots patriarch who is second only to me in authority." Xiao Yun pointed his finger at the two, "I gave Primo and the grassroots patriarch the power to manage the team, all In addition to listening to me, people should also listen to theirs, and of course, they must listen to me in the end.”

"But Primo is very strong, and the grassroots patriarch is very authoritative. Why do they both serve me honestly, instead of kicking me away and becoming the team leader themselves?"

The grassroots patriarch touched his chin and thought very seriously, while Primo, who has always been informal, couldn't help being a little embarrassed...

"As the two people who are directly responsible to me, I naturally have the energy to work hard on them. Then when I distribute the power to them, I have to set up a power division that can guarantee my uniqueness. If there is no system, I must delineate the scope of power, let them take care of each other, and do not allow crossing the line."

"I can do this: the financial income of the team is under the control of the grassroots patriarch, and the soldiers who have force in the team and protect the team are under the control of Primo. It takes money for Primo to lead soldiers, and the only way to ask for money is to reach out to the grassroots patriarch. Whether the grassroots patriarch gives money or not depends on my permission. When they have a dispute, the decision lies with me. When I found that the two of them did not fight with each other, but discussed things, I took the initiative to create conflicts between them. The point of conflict keeps the two of them in an unharmonious relationship, which is extremely efficient for me to manage the two of them, do you think this is the case?"

The grassroots patriarch, Dahe, Qingyan and other clansmen who understood understood nodded in unison.Primo was thoughtful, and he found that Ayun's theory seemed to be connected with many power struggles he had seen, allowing him to see clearly things that he could not see before.

Harris' hands on his knees trembled slightly, and the beads of sweat that slid down his temples were almost dripping into strings...

"I exploited the grassroots patriarch and Primo to work for me, and I enjoyed a comfortable life by myself. Over time, they will definitely be dissatisfied." Xiao Yun continued, "Then in order to ensure that the two of them will always listen to me, I will also share it with them. To a certain extent, the power to exploit other people. I assign Balk and Mumu to Primo, and Dahe and Qingyan to the grassroots patriarch. They can ask the four of you to work diligently for them and circle you The range of activities of the four, and the right to take away the snack subsidies, extra income, etc. of the four of you."

"Huh?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Plimo and the grassroots patriarch have power, and they can wantonly exploit and oppress the four people including Balk. The rules I established allow them to do this, and they will definitely be more loyal to me." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "But the problem It still exists. Why should the four of them be honest and obedient? Then we might as well continue to divide the power down. Xia, Ashu, Rosemary, Ashan, and Ari patriarch should listen to Balke and the others. Be enslaved, oppressed by Balk and the others, and take whatever you want. If Xia and Ashu are not willing to be enslaved by the four of Balk and the others and want to resist, then I, Primo and the grassroots patriarch who have benefited from this system of enfeoffment of power, As well as Balk and others, they will unite to deal with you and make you obedient."

Everyone: "...(oyan o)"

Primo wiped his sweat with his hand.

Harris turned extremely pale.

"Our team only has such a small number of people. It is always a bit unseemly to be divided into classes and oppressed layer by layer. Then we will expand this class oppression to the entire tribe. The oppressed bottom in our team, Xia , Ashu, you five also obtained the power to oppress others through the power distribution system I established. While you were oppressed by Balk and the others, you also obtained what appeared to be very legitimate, in line with the rules, and able to be upright If you want to oppress other people's power, do you still think about resisting?"

Ah Shan, who was out of the whole process, had a pure face, while Xia, Chief Ali, A Shu, and Rosemary looked serious... If you think about it seriously, this question is really a torture!

"This feudal power system, which starts with laziness and taking shortcuts to manage the team, can ensure that those who have power in this system, even if it is only a small amount of power, can realize this kind of hierarchical power into practical benefits. , until the bottom end, such as the farmer we just met last night, who forced the brother and sister." Xiao Yun's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Then in order to ensure that the power in his hand, big or small, can always be controlled If you hold it yourself, everyone, or the vast majority of people, will turn into loyal defenders of this worst system; because in this system, you can indeed gain benefits and gain more than those who are lower than your class. Better privileges. When the scale of this feudal system is large enough and it covers a wide enough population, when someone stands up to fight, even without my own help, those who gain benefits in this system will take the initiative to suppress the protesters die."

Except for Ah Shan, the faces of the others were indescribably serious, and Balk, who didn't listen very carefully at the beginning, showed a horrified expression of having his worldview refreshed...

Xiao Yun looked at everyone's reaction, smiled and spread his hands: "This system can manage the collective in a simple and easy way. At least everyone has his own position in this system. It looks good, yes. wrong?"

The grassroots patriarch almost nodded, and suddenly came back to his senses, then shook his head quickly, his brows almost knit together: "No, if this is the case, it seems that everyone is working, but in fact, the work that needs to be done is pushed to you by the people above. The people below are not good at all!"

Xiao Yun happily gave the grassroots patriarch a thumbs up: "That's right! This power distribution system says that everyone has their own position, but in fact it is still built on layers of oppression. My position in the system naturally has the privilege of bossing others around, so will these so-called superiors still work conscientiously and fulfill their duties? Even if there are, they are a minority!"

"And what about the bottom? Because their position in the system is too low, they are naturally oppressed, they are asked to do specific tasks by the superiors, and they are restricted to a fixed range. Such talents and talents can hardly be used! This is a great waste! This is destroying the development possibility of the team and the collective!"

From the standpoint of a workaholic, Xiao Yun fully expressed his contempt and disgust for the feudal system of power distribution and feudalism. Xiao Yun said with a serious expression: "Any group that wants to develop must liberate manpower as much as possible, tap all the potential of the labor force, and unite as one." Only by moving mountains and reclaiming seas can people conquer the sky. Any management methods that take shortcuts lazily are absolutely not allowed and must be beaten to death with a single stick."

The Snow Wolf Clan & Cat Clan nodded together, and Lian Balk shook his head.

Primo also nodded, but his expression was very strange... The truth that Ayun said was still vivid and easy to understand, but he always felt that something was wrong...

Harris, the snake walker, held his breath in his chest, neither excited nor terrified.

"Our tribe has always adopted a management model in which managers take the lead and are on the front line of work, but occasionally there will be guys among us who want to be lazy and want to take shortcuts." Xiao Yun cast his eyes on Dahe seriously, He stared fiercely, "We found such guys, we will clean up one by one, and kill the other by exposing the head. (Dahe shudders) But none of us can guarantee whether there will be such a manager in the tribe in the future. You have privileges, and you should be lazy. Therefore, on this trip to St. Bridge, I ask you to keep your eyes open and observe carefully, to see that the human kingdom that adopts the feudal system of enfeoffment of power is continuing this set of management based on laziness What is the difference between a country that has operated under the system for thousands of years and our tribe's work style and spiritual outlook?"

Primo's expression became extremely exciting: "..."

He finally found out what was wrong. Ayun's dislike and loathing for human countries was to such an extent that it made people feel uncomfortable even without specifically describing it; Mo can also detect that Ayun doesn't have any respect for the so-called royal family, and he might just get away with a negative score...
