The fisherman druid is in another world
Chapter 415: New Rules for Fort Carne
Chapter 415: New Rules for Fort Carne
Xuanbing is an extraordinary magical weapon. Craftsmen have different understandings of it, or different demands for it, which led to the birth of different schools.
What is treasure in one person's heart may be weeds in another's eyes.
In Robo's eyes, the best school is the Gap-Filling School founded by Kahn, also known as the Mirror School.
Using treasure as a mirror, we can reflect the missing aspects of ourselves, and thus come up with strategies and make continuous adjustments.
Kahn's way of opening the Mysterious Soldier was originally to pursue perfection. Therefore, being more impressive than others is just a side effect, and the priorities are still very clear.
But later generations blurred this concept.
For example, the first one to surpass Kahn and be recognized by the public. Its core concept is: strive for the best!
To put it bluntly, it means to compete, to be better than others.
Compared with Kahn's style, the priorities are reversed.
The reason why Luo Bo thinks highly of Kahn's way is not only because his idea of 'making up for deficiencies and seeking perfection' just caters to the original intention of the soul to establish Will, the reincarnation of the Heaven's Favored One, but also because in the eyes of people like him, it is easy to defeat external enemies, but difficult to defeat enemies in the heart.
So in his opinion, how awesome a person is is mainly reflected in how much awesome he is compared to his past self, rather than comparing himself with outsiders.
Outsiders can't really compare. Should we compare ourselves with others in terms of strengths? Weaknesses? Wealth, talent? Family happiness?
There are too many preconditions, and the right to interpret concepts also has its say, including the so-called universal morality, isn't it also determined by people? What most people agree with, must they really agree with it? No inducement, no blind obedience?
Moreover, the sign of a person being alive is self-awareness.
If you have lost your self, then you are just a walking corpse.
Since the self is great, the self is a yardstick.
Compare myself yesterday, today and tomorrow, know my changes and measure my progress and retreat.
Some might say this is too egocentric.
Luo Bo said, "Yes, if you don't consider yourself when living, who are you living for?"
Self-centeredness does not mean ignoring others.
Rather, caring for him is also for the purpose of better satisfying oneself.
Take love for example. A self-centered person can also sincerely love others! Because you will get the joy of giving. If someone is happy, I will be happy and satisfied, and this love is naturally pure and genuine.
It's just that things in the world are complicated, and there are too many things that we have to do, which leads to more and more people caring about him against their will.
Hold together for warmth, tolerate each other for the country. Sacrifice something in order to gain something.
Many people don't even consider the root cause of this and just go with the flow.
Not understanding the essence, chasing after appearances, and treating tools as goals, one will not be happy even if he or she gets what he or she wants, or will be far less happy than expected.
As for Luo Bo, his starting point was very high.
He is not like the original Robo, who has deep memories of the common people. He also clearly feels that even with the help of a super plug-in like the fishing basin, the process of becoming stronger is still not smooth. It is in line with the old saying in his hometown, "If you control it, it will die, and if you let it go, it will be chaotic." It is rare that it is just right.
Aren’t his main character Druid and secondary character Night Purifier just pretending to be cool and directly attracting gods and demons?
Some people say, then you should just be patient.
One reason for pursuing power is to no longer endure.
The result is that if you can't bear the small, then bear the big. On the road of growth, you can't be completely transparent, and you have to be together forever.
Luo Bo is different. He has no obsession with pretending to be cool or having fun. He is born strong. All living beings are like ants. If he has not been abused by ants, there is naturally no need for him to take back what he has lost in front of them.
Therefore, he attaches more importance to "overcoming oneself".
In a way, he is a bit like the famous senior brother Duan Shuiliu. It’s not that he looks down on anyone, but that he looks down on everyone.
But if necessary, he can make everyone respect him.
For example, he respected Reginald's attitude towards "making progress in life".
He also respected Kahn's idea of using Xuanbing as a mirror, for self-examination, and to make up for his shortcomings.
On the other hand, he does not think highly of the mainstream of the current Xuanbing world, which pursues absolute power.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing power. What is problematic is the perception of power and the way and method of pursuing it.
Let him give a simple comment, that is: relying too much on external things, becoming a slave to power, not being able to match one's strength, just like a child wielding a sword...
Having said that, Luo Bo has now completed the most critical step of the task, welding.
The next step is to play his role well and wait for time and fate to test whether the mission can be ultimately successful.
To understand it from another perspective, in the next period of time, he can act according to his own temperament. The only constraint is that he cannot use too much force.
After all, from a mission perspective, the celestial beings' repeated entry into the world to plunder is equivalent to the growth stage and advancement ladder arranged by the primordial spirit for its reincarnation.
If these worlds were reduced to stages for him to show off his skills, it would at least lead to more trouble.
In the evening, Robbo arrived at Fort Carne.
Late autumn should be the happiest time of the year for creatures in temperate zones.
Even the common people at the bottom of society, because there was abundant food and fruits in the warehouse, could temporarily put aside some of the burdens of survival and do what they liked, such as going to the tavern to have a few drinks and listen to the bards tell about the customs and anecdotes of other places.
Today, however, Fort Kahn, like many cities in the region, has been sacked.
At this time, I was immersed in great grief.
Faced with the invasion, they of course rose up to resist. They had Xuanbing, which was their special force to protect themselves.
However, facing the predators from all realms who possessed advanced combat concepts and three-dimensional attack methods, they still inevitably lost the first battle, and lost miserably.
It can be said that the more intense the resistance, the greater the losses suffered.
This is certainly not just the predators venting their anger.
It is a means of taming.
Similar methods have been used in the Tianzhou world and even in other worlds. It has long been a routine, and now it is just repeated again and tried to be more perfect.
Luo Bo was not interested in specifically thinking about and polishing this kind of conquest strategy.
He now acts more spontaneously.
If you think you should do it this way, or if you are interested in doing it, then do it without considering efficiency, cost, gains and losses too much.
In front of the castle's small square, the lord and his family of Kahn Castle were crying and begging for mercy.
The one who reports to Luo Bo is the King of the East. The East is the leader of the Four Kings because the East is where the sun rises.
Of course, in fact, this is also influenced by the imprint of the original body. Things like east is the head and left is the top are all counted.
The current King of the East is called Lin Jia, the worst guy among the lords of Kahn Castle.
The shikima and shikigami under Luo Bo's command do prefer to take over the bodies of evil people and devour their souls.
The main reason is that the souls of evil people are very useful. The evil in one's nature is a resource, and so is being hated by all living things. After all, the spiritual puppets created by Luo Bo are typical dark ones. From a realistic perspective, it can also be regarded as a kind of retribution for good and evil.
Although Luo Bo himself disdains such statements, he admits that if this concept is used well, it is still beneficial to governance, especially when it is beneficial without cost. In short, Luo Bo is an expert in PUA and Stockholm syndrome. In the 16 years that he ruled the doomsday refugees in Tianzhou World, he has accumulated rich experience in terror governance.
To sum it up in one sentence, make people get used to the fact that you are a villain, and then give them some benefits. The psychological value that these benefits can gain can be magnified several times.
However, Luo Bo did not plan to be so professional this time, so as not to overdo it.
As a bad guy, Lin Jia has a thorough understanding of the situation of the lord's family and even the people of Carne Castle, and his perspective is tricky.
At this time, he did not avoid the people of the lord's family and talked about everything.
Many people who heard it broke out in cold sweats.
In this context, the wailing of some people seems to be too much of a pity show, and they will just be obedient after being severely criticized.
After a while, Luo Bo finished listening to the report and pronounced the verdict with a pleasant face:
"I have a purpose for saying this in front of you all. I have just arrived, and I need to borrow some lives to appease the people.
Since some people contribute, others are allowed to enjoy the benefits.
So, everyone present, except for those who have been borrowed, is allowed to carry a regular package with them. As much as they can carry is yours. Leave Kahnburg within a limited time. Okay, that's it."
Is it useful to hang the lord on the street lamp?
Yes, but it is hard to say how big the effect is.
As the saying goes, the prosperity and decline of a country are the suffering of the people.
Most people actually seek stability.
Of course everyone wants a good life, but after being beaten by society many times, you will understand that a good life is hard to come by, and it cannot be achieved by relying on the policies of the lords. Instead, it is based on diligence and using your brain to have a good life.
To put it bluntly, it means being good at using rules to make them work in one's own favor. To put it bluntly, it means finding loopholes.
In such a context, a patch for a loophole in the rules can make ordinary people lose their games in an instant, or even make them lose money, not to mention the unstable social environment where policies change every day?
Now, the people of Fort Kahn are mainly worried about these rules, fearing that they will have to undergo a major change.
In comparison, no matter who the lord is, he comes to power for exploitation. Moreover, the loser will not give up and will soon fight back with his army.
In this case, Kahn Castle will fall into turmoil, which is worrying just thinking about it.
What's even more desperate is that most of the lower classes don't even have a good place to go. They can only pray that the new master is not such a jerk.
And Robbo is neither a bastard nor a bastard.
The asshole thing is that he dug up Kahnburg's ancestral grave the night before.
Fort Kahn has a long history, as can be seen from the grand cemetery.
And there is more than one cemetery.
Luo Bo collected a wave of vegetarian souls here as materials for refining the demons and ghosts.
This kind of puppet is also a consumable.
When refining, it is written in the contract. Once a certain contribution value is reached, one can be completely freed.
This is not because Luo Bo is kind-hearted, particular, and willing to abide by the spirit of the contract, but if he doesn't do this, all kinds of problems will arise with the Shikigami and Shikigami.
In order to provide a better user experience, we can only be a capitalist who seems to have some conscience.
The good thing about Luo Bo is that he directly issued a notice, announcing that Kahnburg's surname was now Luo, and the old rules would be extended for fifteen days, after which the new rules would be implemented.
The new regulations are called "Juntian Daxian" and "Provisional Regulations".
"The Great Constitution of the Universe" is a text similar to the "Declaration of Independence", which explains in a simple and profound way the core ideas of the new rule.
It was not much different from the charter of the Lingwu Dynasty in the Tianzhou World. The main difference was that the treatment of the people was downgraded.
In Luo Bo's own words: "In feudal society, if people are treated too well, trouble will arise."
Even so, it can be regarded as the most benevolent of benevolent policies, making people dare not believe that these regulations can really be implemented.
Simply put, there is only one kind of tax, which is a levy of one every five years, whether it is money or grain.
Another thing is that it is easy to leave but difficult to enter. It is easy to leave Kahnburg, just make sure you don't have any lawsuits.
If you want to become a subject, you need to go through a series of procedures and there will be an observation period. If you fail to meet the requirements, you will be kicked out.
This caused many locals to complain after learning the content of the announcement: "It seems as if no one wants to be a so-called citizen of the bandit lord..."
Wild bandit, that's how the ignorant locals perceive the new lord.
Things like coming from across borders and being a higher civilization were too magical for them.
Their knowledge and understanding do not allow them to use their imagination to overcomplicate the situation.
They may even filter and simplify their confidence on their own.
The core of their cognition is that the original lords had the king above them and other noble lords on their left and right. These masters constituted the main body of the ruling class.
Now there are bandits who are neither nobles of other countries nor lords of other lands. They first plunder and then occupy the land, and even hang some people in the lord's family. The king and other lords will definitely lead their armies to attack.
The captives would then either flee or die, as the bard’s tale says.
Therefore, in the face of the dangers of war, if you stay here, you might be used as cannon fodder by one side or another. For this reason, some people do choose to flee and become refugees.
But more people chose to stay.
The lower classes of this era lacked a deep sense of patriotism and loyalty to the emperor, and they did not even have a clear concept of "country".
In their simple cognition, there are only three types of people: first, themselves and people like themselves, second, free people, and finally, the master.
The sheriff in the farm is the master, the tax collector is the master, the lord's butler is the master, and the lord is even more of a master. Overall, there are big masters and small masters, and the division is also simple. The former need to kneel when they meet, while the latter can just bow.
As for our understanding of free people, they are the same kind of people who are capable of living a good life.
Tenant farmers and freemen can be converted into each other, and the difficulty is much lower than becoming a master.
Of course, even so, many people at the bottom of society also have dreams when they are young, but their dreams are completely shattered when they are middle-aged or old, and they accept reality or pass on their hopes to their next generation.
In this world anyway, freemen are the hope of tenant farmers and farmhands.
Then Luo Bo came and suddenly everyone was free. Many people couldn't adapt and felt it was too empty.
No matter how meaningless it is, as long as they are not forced to survive, these people will not care too much about who the lord is.
Since Luo Bo did not touch their most sensitive grain and land, or even their farm tools and large livestock, they were willing to continue to be obedient citizens, but they would be more vigilant and wait-and-see.
Of course, this conquest strategy, which was relatively benevolent to the people, only appeared in Fort Kahn. Other towns visited by the celestial warriors once again staged the cruel drama of blood and fire that the humans in the Tianzhou world had encountered.
However, due to the needs of the purpose, this time the gods are willing to enslave some of the natives in order to master and develop the Xuanbing technology.
Even so, they killed him first as a warning. This approach was very similar to what Luo Bo did when he came to Dungeon No. 37...
