People in Terra, governing a weird little country

People who escape silently in this way are the majority in history. Those who can escape are lucky, but those who cannot will be trapped in the cruel "mud ruts under the wheels of history."

The Shelag people could very well be the people of Peach Blossom Spring who fled the chaos during the Qin Dynasty with their wives and fellow villagers to this desolate place and never left again, thus being isolated from the outside world.

There is no evidence anyway. Kjerag's shabby books cannot record things from such ancient times. Who can tell for sure about things that have not been verified?

For Safar, the important thing is not to convince Yelagund, but to convince himself.

He convinced himself that this would make life more comfortable.

So, the sky is so clear, the air is so fresh, and Safar's mood is so beautiful!

But before he could be happy for a while, another dull voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"You don't think that Yelagund agreed to let you stay here because he gave you Kjerag as a health resort, right?"

Safar was startled.

Are there any experts? !

What’s going on? It’s okay that Yelagund is a giant beast, but there are actually other people around him?

Why didn't he sense the presence of other people? Although his strength was not as good as it was back then, he was still considered a high-end fighter in such a small country in the snowy land, right? There shouldn't be so many people who could quietly lurk around him and whisper to him.

Safar turned his head quickly, and subconsciously formed a flaming sword in his hand. But when he saw the identity of the speaker, he put away his flame.

"Beast Master?"

"What? Are you surprised to see me?"

Lazily lying on the snow, enjoying the warm afternoon sun, Gawain yawned and grinned in boredom.

"Don't be jealous. My vacation time is rare. I might have to go on a long trip again soon."

"Life in Kjerag is peaceful, but it is not free at all. Little Balrog, you should cherish the present time."

You showed up all the way here just to tell me this?

Safar scratched his head in confusion. But soon, he smiled disdainfully:

"What can possibly stump me?"

Ernst, who brought him back, observed that Filin was always running to the construction site, busy with things there. And doing some construction-related work was too easy for the Flame Demon.

Do you know what a human welder is? He was the one who welded the first skeleton of Kazdel many generations ago!

Facing Safar's reckless provocation, Gawain just laughed, turned his head, closed his eyes, and lay on the ground in a comfortable position.

Just talk tough, Sarkaz always like to talk tough. Gawain likes to see this kind of guy who can still talk even when a nuclear bomb is dropped.

Appreciating the scene of them breaking through defense is also a great pleasure in the boring life of the beast owner!

Moreover, Ernst was a very clever guy, and sometimes even Gawain couldn't figure out what he could come up with.

If you underestimate this kind of person who has always been alive, you may be forced to sweat profusely at any time.

You mean it, Kjerag, director of the central heating office that operates all year round, spring, autumn and winter?

Chapter 213: Talking to Brother Xiong is so open and frank!

Kjerag, Silver Heart Lake.

As a large lake located in the center of Kjerag, Silver Heart Lake has actually always been nominally under the jurisdiction of the Perlochi family.

The reason is very simple. Before Kjerag was opened to the outside world, the biggest function of Silver Heart Lake was to provide water for agricultural irrigation. As a major grain producer in the Kjerag Mountains, the Perlochi family, which controls a large number of plains and lake grain production belts, naturally took control of the lake area.

When the territories were divided among the three families, the older generation of Kjerag were also simple-minded. They believed that under the witness of the great god Yelagund, the cooperation among the three families would certainly be close and inseparable. Therefore, they did not think of restricting the development of the Perlochi family through water sources. With a stroke of the pen, they gave the most important grain area in the entire Kjerag region to Perlochi.

You can say that Perlochi is honest or stupid, but they did strictly follow the rules set in the past. In the long period of time that followed, although there were constant frictions between the three major families, and even to the point where they disliked each other and wanted to assassinate each other, the Perlochi family never thought of using food to force the other two families to submit.

It was precisely because Ernst knew that Perloche had never been biased on such major issues that he did not accept Enthiotis's suggestion to completely remove Perloche from his position and military power. Instead, he gave him an empty position and allowed him to voluntarily retire.

It's easy to say that Perlochi should be defeated, but it would only set a bad precedent. If people who are wholeheartedly devoted to Kjerag become targets for defeat simply because of their backward thinking, it will only create more and more enemies and make oneself more and more isolated.

Because no one knows when they will become the person who is "a little too backward" in your eyes.

People's comprehension of truth is always on the road, and truth is not eternal and unchanging, but constantly changes according to the environment.

Those who think they hold the absolute truth and who take an attitude of "overthrowing" and "purging" anyone with a different opinion are not reformers. We usually describe such people as "dictators" and "traitors to the people."

This is also why, at the beginning of the founding of our country, our leaders did not choose to kill the last emperor Puyi, who committed numerous crimes, but chose to reform him.

Because even if he was killed and the head fell off, the braids would still remain in people's hearts, and there would still be people who called themselves slaves and flattered the king. The times have not changed.

Only by transforming him with the ideas of the new era and transforming this biggest ghost raised by the old era into a human being, will people realize that the times have really changed.

Of course, these deeper plans have little to do with what the head of the Perlochi family, who is standing in front of Ernst at this moment, is talking about.

Ernst didn't know whether Actos had received a tip-off from Latatos or Enthiotis, which led him to temporarily leave his "patrol" and come to Silver Heart Lake to find him.

But judging from the apologetic look on Jeston's face, as if saying "Sorry, I didn't stop you this time", it seems that Actor's determination to get involved in the "Yeragund Statue" plan is quite firm?

"Of course! Brother Ernst, don't blame me for not telling you. In Kjerag, Yelagund's affairs are my business. Yelagund wants to build a big statue, and if you don't take me with you, I will turn my back on you!"

Actor shouted, and Ernst didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

You say this is a threat, but Actoros called him in a very friendly way. Normally, Ernst never heard this gentleman call him "brother" or something like that. Most of the time, he would call him "Ernst", "the boy from the Shivaash family", or "little prime minister", whatever came to his mind. But today they started to call each other brothers, which was indeed a little different.

But you can tell how much he licks Ernst, the implication of his words is very impolite.

Ernst could understand Actor's idea that "no matter how small a matter is, it is important to do something for Yelagund", but it is not appropriate to say such words as turning against one's friends in the political arena.

Forget it, why should Big Bear and I bother about this? When did Big Bear start to play tricks on you? That would really give Ernst a headache.

Shaking his head, Ernst temporarily sealed the directional thinking formed by the intrigues in Columbia during this period of time, and simply corrected:

"Minister Actor, I've told you so many times that you should refer to your position when you are working!"

"Okay, okay, Ernst Plant, let's make a deal. I will be in charge of the Yelagund statue. Don't change your mind!"

Ernst shrugged:

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that the word hasn't even started yet."

He spread out his palms and counted them in front of Actor:

"We need to build a statue for the great god Yelagund. Where should we build it? Silver Heart Lake is the territory of your Perlochi family. Are you willing to give it to us to build it?"

"Of course I agree! It's just an island, isn't it? It's overgrown with weeds, and no one even grows crops on it. It's our honor to erect a statue of the great god Yelagund on it. Don't worry, I agree!"

"Then I will issue you the land acquisition approval document, and you draft a consent letter for me."

"So troublesome?" Actor was a little impatient.

Ernst could only explain: "The procedures still need to be followed. This piece of land is not expropriated from you for nothing. The government will officially buy this land from the Perlochi family at the market price of Kjerag."

"You're still paying?" Actor was surprised. "Is it unnecessary?"

But Ernst was firm: "It is necessary."

The transaction procedure is complete only with approval documents, letters of consent, land deeds, sales contracts, and account transactions.

The procedures are indeed bloated at times, but they can ensure that there will be no problems and that accountability can be pursued if problems arise.

Ernst wanted to turn the Yelagund statue on the lake island into a business card for Kjerag's tourism industry. The amount of money invested in this area in the future would not be small, and once successful, the profits would definitely be enviable. He didn't want the Perlochi family to argue with him in the name of "territorial ownership" and want to get a share of the profits.

The purchase price was based on the market price of Kjerag's land. Although this price was certainly not as high as the price of land in external tourist attractions, it was reasonable. Ernst did not take advantage of Aktos. After all, this piece of land was left here and no one developed it. Just as Aktos said, it was just a piece of vacant land overgrown with weeds and not even convenient for farming.

Apparently, Actor had not thought of this. He just thought that building a big statue for the great god Yelagund was a great idea and he had not considered the issue of money at all.

Seeing Ernst doing such a pious thing, and not giving a helping hand to the Perlochi family, which had recently jumped from the first place to the last place among the three families and became the poorest family, he had only one feeling:

"Ernst is still a loyal man!"

Ernst could only smile and say nothing.

The most striking thing about dealing with Brother Bear is that he is open and honest! There are no twists and turns, no back and forth probing. Every communication is based on biological instincts, enjoying the pure pleasure of no riddles. If everyone on this earth is like Brother Bear, there won't be so many troubles.

Once the land use issue was resolved, the biggest issue was also resolved. As for the cost of building the Yelagund statue, Ernst was not actually worried about that.

The number of tourists to Kjerag is increasing day by day, and the foreign exchange is also rising. In addition, with the "voluntary and generous donation" from Kalan Trade, the government is actually not as short of money as it was at the beginning. Besides, hasn't the patriotic entrepreneur Mr. Enthiotis already agreed to pay for the statue?

Creating a business card is something that needs to be done no matter how expensive it is, because it is a feature and an investment, more cost-effective than stocks. Considering Kjerag's qualifications, it is not that easy to lose money.

Ernst was in a good mood, and his speech became more "bearish" as he asked cheerfully:

"Then how should the Yelagund statue be repaired? Do you have any idea?"

"Yes!" Actor nodded firmly. "This is the statue of our great god, so it must be exquisite! I won't talk to you, Ernst Plant, about my preliminary thoughts now. I'll go find that bastard Nosis, look through the books of the Edweiss family, and then go to Manzhuyuan to look for ancient books. I'll think about it and give you a satisfactory answer. How do you think?"

What else could Ernst say?

"Okay, okay! I'll leave it to you then! I'll trust you to do the job."

Don't worry, he gave Jason a look calmly.

The general idea is, keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything weird.

Be steady in doing things and never forget your roots. Ernst did not have high aesthetic requirements for Actor. Don't spend a lot of time reading the classics, and finally when Ernst returned from Lateran, he found a big stone on the island in the middle of the lake.

At least it should be built like a human being, not like the Sacred Stone Square, where they just put a big stone there and pretend it is Yelagund.

Chapter 214: What Kjerag's Fellow Villagers Observed

Sherag, Tukarim.

Siva is the original inhabitant of Tukarim, and his family has lived on the land of Tukarim for generations.

Kjerag people are attached to their land, and Siwa is no exception. Like many of Kjerag's fellow villagers, he has never left the land of Tukarim.

But now, when he finally had to leave here temporarily and go to live with his relatives living in the Brontao territory, he was not as sad and at a loss as he had imagined.

"If you ask me, isn't life all about hope? Now that Shelagh is getting better and better, I have hope. Even if I see those Colombians from outside demolishing my house, I'm not that angry. Because our Prime Minister Ernst and Lord Enchiodis have already promised to give me a newer and better one."

He had also seen the display boards that the Colombians had put in front of the government office building in Tukarim, where the future city renderings of Tukarim were displayed in the form of pictures and videos. According to the plan, the place where he would live in the future would be much neater and cleaner than it was now.

If there was anything that made him unhappy, it was only the foreign tourists.

In Siva's opinion, most of these tourists were of low quality and had little respect for Yelagund. Last time, when he was driving his pack animals to graze, he was stopped by two tourists from Victoria. After mumbling for a long time, he realized that the two wanted to ask which direction the Holy Mountain of Kalan was heading.

Siva didn't think much about it at the time and showed them the way. Unexpectedly, the next day, he heard from the girl Jian, who often came to help with farm work, that two tourists from Victoria tried to climb the Kalan Peak, knock a piece of the holy stone from the Holy Stone Square down as a souvenir, and secretly take it away!

This is disrespectful! This is disrespectful!

The Holy Stone is a tear of the great god Yelagund, a veritable religious relic. Every year, the Harvest Festival and the Holy Hunting Ceremony are held in the Holy Stone Square, which is enough to show the importance of the Holy Stone in the hearts of the Kjerag people!

Siva was very angry, but he was not the angriest one. He even heard that people from Perrochi almost picked up their weapons and rushed up the mountain to lift the two Victorian tourists to the Matterhorn because of this incident.

Prime Minister Ernst was still in Colombia at the time. The matter was finally settled with the mediation of Defense Secretary Mr. Jeston and the guarantee of Chief Enchiodis Shivaash.

But the feud has already been formed.

Even the kind-hearted old Tukarim residents like Siva, the loyal subjects of Shivaash, and the old reformist people who have developed for three generations, have complaints about these outsiders, not to mention the already conservative Kjerag people.

At first, Siwa was worried about Prime Minister Ernst, thinking that this matter was not easy to handle. If he was not careful, it would easily lead to a disaster. But Prime Minister Ernst was worthy of being the Prime Minister and immediately gave a solution that everyone was satisfied with.

"Prime Minister Ernst has reached an agreement with the Perlochi family to build a large statue of Yelagund on the Silver Heart Lake?"

When he first heard the news, Shiva was a little confused and couldn't believe it.

A new statue of the great god Yelagund? That sounds like good news, but it's unlikely that the Kjerag people hadn't come up with this idea until today.

Building a statue on the island in the center of Silver Heart Lake requires a lot of problems, including building materials, tools, and how high to build it. If you are not careful, the team building the statue will be able to participate in the first Silver Heart Lake Winter Swimming Competition in Kjerag.

Precisely because of the low feasibility, high cost, and high risk of casualties, no one has actually tried to build such a spectacle in that location until today.

But Prime Minister Ernst gave his own answer - it's not difficult, it's not difficult for Kjerag now!

Rhine Life has the ability to build transmission channels on the lake island and the shore of the Silver Heart Lake to ensure the transportation of building materials. The props they use are a kind of flying gadget that the Kjerag people have never seen before.

"They call that a construction drone."

Shiva stood on the edge of the Silver Heart Lake, watching the drones that could fly in the sky, working in teams of four, carrying pieces of stone that required several young men to move, and flew to the distant island in the middle of the lake.

He was speechless, and like him, many Kjerag people who had come here after hearing the news about the statue of the great god Yelagund were also speechless.

If the reconstruction of Tukarim still has regional limitations, for many Kjerag people in the territories of the Perlochi and Bruntao families, there is no special sense of reality.

At that moment, perhaps it was the first time that they felt what the "power of progress" was.

Confused, surprised, shocked, and a little empty, Shiva didn't know how to describe his mood at that time.

"What are you doing here, Siwa?"
