People in Terra, governing a weird little country

People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Author: Writer Bone

Summary:

Let me ask you, if there is a country on this earth whose religious leader is the eldest sister in the family, whose economic pillar is the eldest brother in the family, and whose head of government and parliamentary leader is the third brother in the family, is there any hope for the future of this country?

"In short, the Three Clans Conference has decided that you will be the first speaker of the Kjerag National Assembly."

Facing his elder brother, Boss Yin, who has always been a human being, Ernst Shivaash sighed.

In this Arknights where no one knows where the world line has gone, he just wants to ask the amazing netizens:

"Thank you for the invitation. I'm in Terra and I just became Prime Minister. How do I govern this weird little country?"

Characters

A strange little country

Chapter 1: I am in Kjerag, newly appointed Prime Minister

"In short, my dear brother, you are now the first speaker of the Kjerag National Assembly."

The tall man in a black windproof cloak in front of him declared so, followed by a sparse applause. The leaders of the Brontao and Perlochi families moved their hands absentmindedly, making sure to make an awkward but polite sound when they closed.

In contrast, the younger sister, Enshia Shivaash, who was sitting on the other side of the triangular seat, was optimistic and energetic. She winked at Ernst happily, apparently unaware of the hellish position her admired older brother had just pushed her second brother into.

Ernst Shivaash pursed his lips and finally cast his gaze towards the Saint Lady who was sitting on the throne, representing the will of "Yeragund", and was also his sister - Enya Shivaash.

Their eyes crossed in mid-air, and sincere emotions came with it. Obviously, the Saint Lady was also looking at her. There was half pity and half anger in her eyes. Obviously, she regarded her as another victim pushed out by her elder brother Enthiodis Shivaash to satisfy his ambitions, just like she was forced to become a Saint Lady.

Enthiotis seemed to have not noticed Enya's hostile look, and had no desire to explain. Undoubtedly, this would further deteriorate the already limited affection between them.

"It's a misfortune for our family—"

Ernst Shivaash sighed deeply in his heart.

Other time travelers either become princes in Victoria or knights in Casimir. At worst, they can still make a living in Longmen and make a living by playing around with Sir Chen and Penguin Logistics.

I am just so unlucky that I happened to travel to the snowy country of Kjerag.

That would be fine, although he was just a cloud player who didn't know much about Arknights and quit the game not long after it was launched, Ernst still had some impression of the story of SilverAsh and Kjerag.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would just need to stay in Kjerag peacefully until his brother Enthiodis Shivaash, also known as SilverAsh, grew up, brought Kalan Trade back to Kjerag, and then launched the Snow Mountain Incident to take power. Then he would be able to live a stable life with the identity of Shivaash, and maybe even go out and fool around with SilverAsh's money.

However, all these beautiful fantasies were completely shattered the moment Ernst heard that Kjerag was about to establish a national assembly.

Obviously, the world line of Terra has deviated to who knows where, and the already poor game knowledge in his mind is obviously completely useless here.

"Fortunately, I'm not completely unprepared."

After expressing his frustration, Ernst gave Enchiodis an affirmative look, walked forward, stood in front of the podium that looked like it had just been carved out of logs and even smelled of wood lacquer, and began his glorious first inaugural speech in his life:

"I am grateful to the Shivaash family, the Bruntao family, the Perlochi family, the Manzhu House Elders Council, Her Royal Highness Saint Kalan, and the great Yelagund for their cultivation and trust. I am honored to be able to stand here today, representing all the people of Kjerag, and serve as the first speaker of the Kjerag government parliament and the prime minister of the government."

"I think that the problems facing Kjerag today are first economic, second military, and finally religious. And for these problems, I think -"

Ernst took a deep breath, as if preparing something, and then he began to recite a rapid-fire stream of information in an orderly manner:

"We need to reach a new level and a new realm, and make new breakthroughs through new initiatives and new developments. To this end, we must attach importance to new methods, see new forms, and understand new requirements. Only in this way can we make good use of new skills, show new styles, and reach new heights in new expectations and new relationships. New knowledge will create new things, and new practices will achieve new results.

We must recognize the importance of this, understand the urgency, persist in self-consciousness, take the initiative, grasp the timeliness with a holistic and forward-looking perspective, adhere to practicality, and especially be targeted. When faced with strategic and long-term tasks, we need to take into account their complexity and arduousness, mobilize enthusiasm and creativity, and do things in a planned and sensitive manner.

At the same time, we must not forget the importance of standardization, proceduralization and institutionalization. Only under orderly, scientific, knowledgeable and professional conditions can we make rejuvenation a normal thing.

We should be proactive and enthusiastic, strong and patient, show sincerity and determination, and use our sincere hearts to Yelagund to persist in our iron will and impartiality, clearly distinguish the overall situation awareness, awareness of risks, and sense of responsibility, pay attention to learning awareness and awareness of progress, and finally cultivate management awareness.

Find the starting point, entry point, and landing point, pay attention to the focus, combination point, key point, emphasis on the key points, focus points, and key points. These are the support points for doing things!

Only in this way can we build a modern and powerful country that will satisfy Yelagund!"

As soon as the words fell, the simple scene suddenly fell into a strange silence.

However, the silence did not last long. After just a few seconds, enthusiastic applause, much more enthusiastic than before, even startled the guards of various tribes outside the meeting room. The leaders of the applause were none other than Latatos, the leader of the Blanto family, and Actor, the leader of the Perlochi family, who had been contemptuous and perfunctory to Ernst a few minutes ago.

Were they moved by Ernst's earnest words and philosophical remarks?

Obviously not.

Ernst knew very well that the reason they were so happy was probably because, after his speech, they were finally able to confirm with relief that they were indeed wastes.

There is nothing that can be done about it. In a country where politics and religion are combined, the religious leader, the Saint, is the eldest sister of the Shivaash family, the economic pillar is the eldest brother of the Shivaash family, and the prime minister and speaker of the parliament are the youngest brother of the Shivaash family. This can no longer be said to be overwhelmingly powerful. It can be said that Shelagh is owned by the Shivaash family from top to bottom!

In other words, the people of Kjerag are simple and honest. If it were another country, they might have already started to exploit the resources unsustainably.

And Ernst certainly doesn't want to be a despicable person who exploits the people's blood and sweat. Although he was pushed to this position by his unrighteous brother, now that he has sat on this chair and put on this hat, he has to be a good person!

Or change the direction, at least be a good politician!

To achieve this goal, he obviously still has a long way to go. The first step is to show weakness to the enemy!

Although it seems that all matters of Kjerag are in the hands of the Shivaash family, Ernst knows very well whether the power is in their hands or not.

Not to mention the Brontao family, who are fence-sitters and only want to maintain checks and balances, the Perlochi family alone controls one-third of Kjerag's territory and more than half of its population. They are also responsible for defending Kjerag and hold military power.

If we want to truly build Kjerag into an ideal country with a highly developed economy, highly unified politics, highly harmonious society, and highly happy people, there is still a long way to go!

In this regard, Ernst just wanted to post a message on Zhihu, Tieba, Weibo, and Bilibili, begging the great netizens:

"I'm in Terra, and I just became Prime Minister. How do I govern a weird little country?"

Chapter 2 My sister is a saint!

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Ernst knew that even if he could really convey information to the outside world and get inspiration from the majority of netizens, it would probably be of no use.

People on Zhihu will make up a story for him that cannot solve any problems but can only elevate himself, people on Weibo will teach him how to start fighting within the country, B-friends will enthusiastically ask him to start a left-wing revolution in a religious country, and people on Tieba will probably ask him which foot is smellier, Enya or Nxia.

Of course it was Enxia. Although she was not dressed tightly, she was always exercising and sweating. She looked more attractive than Enya, who was taken care of all day long.

However, Ernst had never confirmed it personally. After all, ever since Enya climbed the holy mountain and became a saint, she no longer lived at home, and Ernst could only see his sister a few times a year.

Without practice, you naturally have no right to speak!

A proverb is a proverb, and it applies everywhere. But the theory is different. Obviously, whether it is fighting or making red, such behavior is too early for Kjerag now. It is estimated that as long as he opens his mouth, the three major families including his brother Enthiotis will think that it is too risky to let such a fool sit in the position of prime minister of the government, thus ending his short political career of one day.

According to Ernst, if Kjerag really wants to do something now, there is only one thing he can do.

——Make money!

Entering the government office converted from a one-story bungalow, Ernst sat on the creaking chair and asked the black-haired twin-tailed Carters girl who followed him in:

"Ms. Moshi, can you show me this year's government financial report?"

Mo Xi was obviously stunned. She seemed to have not expected that the first thing this man who could fart openly on the podium would do after entering the office door was not to take a nap or eat something, but to ask her for a financial statement.

Fortunately, both her current boss, Hugh Ruth Brantau, and her real boss, Nosis Edwiss, were the type who didn't care about the accounts at all, which forced her to develop strong financial skills. After a brief moment of daze, she nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

Looking at her back as she left the house without closing the door, Ernst shrugged.

He knew Moshi, the little girl with exaggerated twin ponytails who now worked as a bodyguard under the second-in-command of the Brantau family, Hugh Ruth Brantau. As for who she really served, Ernst was not sure, but it was definitely not Hugh Ruth.

Kjerag had two people who were impossible to recruit even a single smart subordinate, one of whom was Hulus. This was a fact recognized by everyone in Kjerag, including his sister Latatos. This fact was further confirmed by the fact that it was still a secret to Hulus.

Therefore, the most likely person that Moshi is truly loyal to is Latatos, but it is not ruled out that it was a nail planted by the Shivaash family into the Brown Tao family. As for why it is impossible to be the Perlochi family...

The name of one of the two men was Actor Perloche.

Brother Xiong is loyal to you, and you are playing tricks on him?

But this is not really important. Anyway, the total population of Kjerag is only about one million, and 99% of them are devout religious believers and farmers. It is simply wishful thinking to expect them to have modern financial knowledge. So, if Moshi is not used, should he, the prime minister, prepare the financial statements himself?

No matter who she belongs to, she belongs to Kjerag. Kjerag's first prime minister said that he wanted to broaden his horizons.

Soon, Moshi entered the office with a whole wooden box in his hands.

"Oh!"

She placed the wooden box on the desk in front of Ernst, shaking the old table so much that it groaned under the weight.

Ernst pointed to the box: "What is this?"

Mo Xi replied seriously: "The account book."

Ernst's heart skipped a beat. "But what I want is a financial statement, the kind with detailed income and expenditure and date records."

And Moshi replied as a matter of course: "You can go to Lord Enchiodis to apply for one."

Ernst covered his face: "But isn't it empty?"

Mo Xi nodded and said seriously: "So you need to fill it out yourself."

Then why should I hire you? I might as well find a young man who is decent enough and train him from the beginning, and he can be considered my direct descendant!

Ernst muttered inwardly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He had thought that Kjerag's financial situation might be dire, but he had never imagined it to be this bad.

They have a fiscal deficit, but you have fiscal disappearance!

It was hard to imagine that such a country could have existed until now without being destroyed. Ernst suddenly felt that his faith in the great Yelagund had become even stronger.

Perhaps he saw Ernst's distress, or perhaps he felt that it was a bit unreasonable to let Ernst, who had just sat on this "tiger bench", calculate such things, so Mo Xi kindly reminded him:

"Lord Ernst. Before the establishment of the National Assembly, Kjerag was governed by three clans. The Shivaash, Brontao, and Perlochi families were all secretly competitors, so it was impossible for them to inform the other two families of the financial situation of their own territories. But there is a place that must have the financial ledger of the three territories."

Ernst raised his head, looked at Moshi, and blinked his silver-gray eyes.

Yes, although the three competing tribes would not open their accounts to each other, Kjerag was not entirely divided among the three tribes.

Above me, the Prime Minister of the Kjerag government, there is a larger, more authoritative, and more ancient institution, isn't it?

"You mean Manzhuyuan? But isn't that a religious institution?"

As soon as Ernst said this, he realized that he had probably asked a stupid question.

As we all know, religious institutions have always made money since ancient times. When the treasures in the Pope's Palace in Medieval Europe were the best in Europe, the level of mathematics was also the best among all countries!

At this time, Moshi also raised concerns:

"That being said, the chief elder of Manzhuyuan is not an easy person to deal with. He is not friendly to the Shivaash family who founded the Kalan Trade. It will not be easy for you to get the account book from him."

This is the truth. If someone else came, given the conservativeness of the old man in Manzhuyuan, he would definitely say that the ancestral law cannot be changed and refuse to hand over the account books kept by Manzhuyuan to him.

But the person who wanted this account book was none other than Ernst!

The boy stood up confidently, took down the coat hanging on the coat rack beside him, put it on himself and walked out of the room.

"It's okay, the Saint is my sister! My sister loves me the most!"

This sentence is better understood if translated

——It’s easier to get things done if you have someone higher up!

Chapter 3: Saint Enya wants to protect her brother

Contrary to many people's stereotypes, the Matterhorn, Kjerag's highest mountain, is not Kjerag's holy mountain. The holy mountain is actually another peak located at the border of the territories of the Shivaash family and the Perlochi family - Mount Kalan.

As the seat of the religious institution Manzhuyuan, Manzhuyuan manages the surrounding areas and the sacred ritual hunting grounds, while the Perlochi family is responsible for providing security to prevent people with ill intentions from trespassing into the holy mountain and disrupting Yelagund.

So, theoretically speaking, even for Ernst, the head of the government, it is not an easy task to climb to the top of the mountain and meet Saint Enya in Manzhuyuan.

But fortunately, there are always exceptions.

Ernst was sworn in as the speaker of the Kjerag National Assembly and the prime minister today. Although Saint Kalan was present to witness the simple ceremony, if Ernst was pious enough and was willing to go to the Holy Mountain Manzhu Monastery to pay a personal visit to Yelagund after taking office, the great elder would definitely not refuse.

Unlike the three major families, the chief elder of Manzhuyuan was a person with a strong desire for power. He was indeed pious enough and had never violated any of Yelagund's teachings, but beyond that, he was unwilling to give up any of his interests.

This is why in the original plot, even though the Snow Mountain Incident had reached a point where it was beyond redemption, he still hoped that the Saint First Snow would stand up and call on the people in the name of Yelagund to oppose SilverAsh's dictatorship.

Now, Ernst, the guy who was supported by the three tribes and took away more power from him, came to visit him on his own initiative. Naturally, he was happy to see it happen.

By the time Ernst had climbed up the holy mountain, where no means of transportation were allowed, the Great Elder had already been waiting at the gate of Manzhu Courtyard. Seeing Ernst in a Victorian suit, he frowned slightly, but still maintained a calm tone and said:
