Tauren Overlord

Lu Heng liked Jaina's timely attitude, but still waved his hand:

"I didn't invite you here to study any legal issues."

"It doesn't matter if Jacques is older. Kill him and there will be no such person."

It was when Lu Heng and Jaina were chatting on the bench that Arthas, who was bleeding from his nose, could no longer hold back.

After all, he is older than William, and logically, he is the heir with a higher ranking.

It was one thing for an inexplicable man to abduct his wife, but it was even more unacceptable for a junior to take his place!

However, just as he adjusted his blood pressure and tried to use his special art again, he found that his body became strange again...

It's like that... the person is already lying on the ground, but can still do a side flip for no reason.

Then, Arthas fell heavily to the ground, and the fear finally overwhelmed the anger...

I don’t know if Lu Heng had some evil taste. When he made Arthas land hard, his face was facing Jaina.

Of course, that is also Lu Heng's position.

He didn't seem to mind continuing to subdue his wife Jaina under the nose of Arthas, the legitimate husband:

"He knows that although you are devoted to studying magic, you have always been generous to ordinary people."

“Although this is somewhat of a dirty job, mainly done by Jacques and Alsace, the popularity you have accumulated over a long period of time is real.”

"This is exactly what my lord values. I hope you can coordinate the relations among the people."

"You must especially avoid the unbridled malice of those at the bottom who were previously oppressed and have now suddenly stood up, and try to balance them."

"My lord will appropriately execute some of the chief criminals who have oppressed the people in the past, so that they can vent their anger."

"But just this will definitely not satisfy them completely. After all, loving killing is part of human nature."

"How can I help my lord and limit the killing to a smaller area? This requires your wisdom to assist me."

Lu Heng's words surprised Jaina a little, but she soon understood.

People from the lower classes are certainly exploited, but that doesn't mean they are born good people.

Thinking that the lower class are all good people and the upper class are all bad people is just as paranoid as thinking that the upper class are all good people and the lower class are all bad people.

Especially those at the bottom have already suffered a lot, and when they turn things around, that may be the time when a lot of malice is released.

If not properly guided, the consequences will be very serious.

The fact that Lu Heng knew all this was naturally related to his identity as a time traveler. After all, the old uniform was so much ahead of the previous versions.

In the long run, the forces that represent backwardness and oppression always lose.

But in every specific resistance, the spark of resistance often dies because of lack of pragmatism.

How to strike a balance between these two issues is indeed a difficult problem that has evoked deep thought since ancient times.

Author's words: I encountered some tricky things today, so I will update only once for now and make it up in two days.

376. The Old Order and the New Future

The night outside the church was not quiet, but full of noise.

Because Lu Heng had publicly announced that he would overthrow Jacques' rule and establish a new regime to resist the empire.

The whole night was extremely lively. The more people hated Jacques' old order, the more they looked forward to Lu Heng's new future.

Bonaparte and other old farmers were spreading the word and mobilizing everyone who could be mobilized.

The first thing they had to do was to take revenge on Jacques' lackeys who had stepped on their heads before.

There are quite a few dogs there.

After all, if a noble like Jacques wants to oppress the people, it is not like he can just lie down on a chair and the oppression will be done automatically.

They always have layers of lackeys to help them bully others.

In the specific process of playing tricks on people, the middle-level managers themselves have to make a lot of money, otherwise they will feel that the exploitation is not enjoyable enough.

Because this kind of exploitation has never been a purely moral issue, but rather a naked conflict of interest.

Therefore, the overall intensity of exploitation will not change qualitatively regardless of whether individual knights are good people or not.

Under this power structure, no matter how hard the lower-class farmers work, they can often only barely get enough to eat.

——This is still the most ideal situation.

The undesirable situation is that the old farmer becomes emaciated due to hunger or even starves to death.

Why is it that the old farmer still goes hungry even though he has cultivated a magical high-yield crop that can be harvested six times a year?

Shouldn't they have a good harvest every year, work for four months or even two months a year, and then lie down comfortably for the next six months?

That is of course absolutely impossible, because the old farmer has no land, and all the output belongs to the knight.

The master could just take away five of the six crops of the year, wouldn't that make life peaceful?

Anyway, there are old farmers who carry the burden for them.

As for the five ripe fruits that were taken away, they are naturally very useful.

After all, in addition to feeding farmers, Taimenia rye can also be used to feed livestock.

According to Christina's research, the consumption of Timenia rye by livestock is essentially a process of collecting psychic energy.

It’s just that this way of collecting is more natural and slower.

Livestock that grow up eating coarse grains will slowly accumulate spiritual energy in their bodies.

Then it was served on the table and became food for the lower-class knights.

Only by consuming meat for a long time can the knight class produce more spellcasters.

But they will definitely say that it is all because the lower classes don’t work hard, have poor bloodlines, and so on, which has caused such differences.

This difference between people is also reflected between the lower-class knights and the upper-class nobles.

For the more noble upper class, ordinary livestock were completely unworthy of their consumption.

High-psychic livestock fed with the meat of low-psychic animals are worthy of the tables of great nobles.

It is no exaggeration to say that the food many old farmers eat is worse than the livestock raised by the nobles.

It is precisely this exaggerated offering that allows Arthas and others to display the precious "two minutes of invincibility".

In fact, the old farmer also knows that this is an unfair treatment.

While the nobles indulged in wine and meat in winter, the old farmers had to tighten their belts and shiver in the cold wind.

But at least they have value to be utilized and protected.

Only in this way can poor old farmers support their children, let them learn a skill, and work hard in the city.

If these children could sell their cheap labor, they could live a little better than farming.

The income of these artisans is indeed not as low as that of the old farmers, but they hate the people who step on them even more.

Because old farmers still have some distance from the powerful and wealthy, and such a distance is obviously more likely to produce beauty.

Many artisans, however, have more direct contact with the upper class, and see all kinds of inequality right before their eyes every day.

It’s just that the power gap between the two sides is too big, and the lower classes dare not speak out but be angry.

Now Lu Heng gave them a chance to stand up, and also allowed their long-standing resentment to erupt.

But the upper class has too much debt, how can they vent it all in one night?

The only problem is that the lower class people are generally only concerned with living their own hard lives.

The number of superior people they know is very limited, and when they want to settle accounts with them, it is really difficult to find anyone.

However, Jacques' old team quickly converted to the rebel team and quickly filled this vacancy.

From the long night to dawn, the calls of "Gentlemen of the uprising, follow me on this road!" were endless.

The reason why this happened, in addition to the flexibility of human nature itself, was naturally influenced by Lu Heng's policies.

Lu Heng told Bonaparte and Gianna that if people can be spared, they should be spared, but if they must be killed, they must be tried.

Including the dying Arthas, at Lu Heng's instruction, he was not killed for the time being.

But Jaina didn't think so. It was because the new lord was kind-hearted and he most likely wanted to kill him himself.

This way he could show his position without damaging the prestige of the Burios family.

As for those accomplices who had previously served Jacques, Lu Heng's attitude was to allow them to repent and atone.

After all, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, people in the entire territory of Brios have produced food and various tools for the masters.

If we really want to pursue absolutely pure H2O without any impurities, let alone whether the fish can survive, at least humans will not be able to bear it.

Jaina also played a major role in leading the large-scale conversion of the old knight class in the territory.

She had guessed this trend of people's hearts long ago, so she directly arranged for her subordinates to lead the way.

Many of the old crew members who were too close to Jacques and Alsace were not so lucky.

They are generally treated as the main culprits and punished accordingly. Even if they hide at home, they will be found out by their former colleagues who led the way.

These people also vaguely realized that there seemed to be more colleagues who chose to lead the way overnight than them...

You can't get away with relying on others at all!

Several desperate knights began to try to resist, but were easily dealt with by the sleepless Lilia.

Jaina was also unable to sleep.

In addition to helping the rebels find their former colleagues, she also did some heartwarming things.

For example, to avoid angry insurgents from killing people everywhere.

Because Lu Heng told her that most people could accept labor reform, which could be considered a way to accumulate labor force.

The other is to protect the children and women of the knight class.

Jaina has discovered that some lumpen proletariat don't seem to have much of an ideal.

The main reason they followed the trend and revolted seemed to be to plunder the property of the rich...

And the flesh of women and little boys.

In this way, the somewhat chaotic but generally not out-of-control uprising continued until the early morning of the next day.

Many of the insurgents did not wake up from their sweet dreams because they had not slept at all.

But people were not tired and were still very energetic.

The author says:

Author's words: There is one more chapter woww

377. Headache treatment device

When a beam of light shines over the castle, people become more energetic!

The source of the light was a gorgeous portal, from which flew out a knight on a Pegasus.

The Pegasus flapped its wings in the air, attracting the people of Brios Territory to look up at the sky.
