MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 90

Compared with other places in Yamenan, the people under the Thunder Queen's rule are much more busy and calm.

When Yamenan is making a sensation about the new queen, people here are busy with spring and summer planting, studying and working, and the distant queen is just a topic of conversation in leisure time; Good harvest, as for their uncrowned king at the center of the storm? Oh, you're so ridiculous, let the people and beasts who dare to do something to Anna-sama worry about it!

However, on an ordinary autumn day when the aftermath of the Black Beast Rebellion was drawing to a close, and the beast tide would not arrive for some time, a certain piece of news could be said to stir up thousands of waves, stirring up the southern part of Yamenan.

Count Anna is about to leave here and go to the Bungalow defense line in the north.

The monks who made the announcement were surrounded so tightly that everyone's ears were ringing for hours. God's favored one is leaving? Her Majesty the Thunder Queen is about to abandon us? Why? what to do? No, no, it might not be like this! People were restlessly inquiring about each other, cheering each other up, but they all couldn't convince themselves that they were like mice before an earthquake, and they just jumped into the sea collectively.

After a long absence, An Xu made an announcement on the loudspeaker in the sky, reassuring everyone that everything here will not change because of her departure—it can’t be without reassurance, the territory is about to be in turmoil, and it’s not because of instigation by external forces or natural disasters and man-made disasters. Yes, it's purely because everyone loves her so much that they are in a panic when they don't make an appointment. This rough expectation, trust and attachment to a good life is hard to offend.

The Queen of Thunder is a bit dumbfounded. It is not the first day that the news that the king has sealed Earl Anna to the northern defense line. The people in Urburg have been bombed, and the people here are too slow, right? And An Xu thought that when he stayed here, except for an idea at the beginning, and the beast tide as a strong backing (similar to our side has nuclear #武, everyone, don't panic), most of the time he was a shopkeeper. Poor public servants of the people who work hard, all of them (under the supervision of the law enforcement team) are conscientious, and people still can't trust them.

She miscalculated two things.

First, people had indeed heard about the appointment long ago, but they were all full of self-confidence, thinking that Lady Anna would not want to leave her lair, and that she would definitely not listen to the announcement. king? Although he is a big man in the legend, but I heard that even the strange beasts can't handle it. He must not be as powerful as Her Majesty Thunder Queen!

Second, whether it is the locals who watched the development of Thunder Castle and Abery County, or those who were attracted to settle here, they all feel that the officials here are so approachable, and there is a fair thunder hanging in the sky. reason. Where are the officials and dignitaries who are not thinking about squeezing oil from the bones of the people? Better to count on tigers not to eat meat!

The civilians didn't know that most of the officials were also in a state of panic.

In this land that was newly born and developed extremely rapidly, the inexperienced new officials were cautious and followed the laws and regulations one by one. When they became proficient, the laws and regulations became more perfect. Officials perform their own duties, with a clear division of labor, and there are not many gray areas where power can be abused. Although their power has become smaller than elsewhere, they also have advantages that cannot be found elsewhere.

Capable people can get the opportunity to show their strengths, and mediocre people can become a member of the cornerstone as long as they work hard and do not need to rely on family background and human relationship. More than half of the officials came from civilians, criminals, and alternate officials who were frustrated elsewhere. If they left Count Anna's territory, no matter how talented they were, they would only be penniless. And for some officials who are dissatisfied in the fish and meat town because of their inability to accept it... hold back, is the law enforcement team a vegetarian?

As soon as they got the news, the petty officials themselves started asking around anxiously. The middle-level people more or less believed that the situation here would not be turned upside down because of Earl Anna's departure, and they could see the high-level officials in Anxu, and they were already thinking about higher-level issues.

About who stayed and who followed her north.

After the confusion slowly subsided, new announcements emerged from within the staff. Completely different from the king's expectations, Earl Anna is not a poor commander who no one can use. The staff she can bring is not too few, but too many. The increase in the population of Thunder Castle and Abery City is greater than the speed of construction, and the increase in available people is also considerable. They are like two swollen potatoes, ready to be split for sowing.

As Nancy packed her bags, the hands-on Secretary of Agriculture packed her seeds and looked forward to experimenting on new soil. "When I was in Alingu, I was researching cold-resistant varieties." She said with emotion, "I didn't expect to bloom and bear fruit in the south first." Nan Xi led a small group of apprentices, some of whom studied how to improve soil quality without supernatural powers. , there is also an excellent crop style that only learns numbers and names. When agriculture in Yamenan first started, there was no distinction between scholars and farmers.

Charlotte, the mayor of Thunder Castle, selected a team of backbones according to the performance assessment, and she has been separating and backing up a new team non-stop since she got the news of the entrustment. Experienced managers will not be stretched because of this, and a new batch of officials have been trained to become leaders. What Earl Anna needs is not experienced old fritters, but honest and hardworking people. Everything here is new, everyone needs to learn, fresh blood is constantly flowing into this growing body. Charlotte handed over all the powers and responsibilities to her successor without hesitation. She would go to the north with Earl Anna, and she was looking forward to a new city being built there.

In the south of Abery County, the initial literacy has been completed, and the students with good brains and good teachers have become new teachers, enough to send some to open up wasteland on the new map. It is not the most learned person who is chosen, but the teacher who is the most patient and best at basic education. Mars, a former criminal, found himself a very good teacher after working as a warehouse keeper for aristocrats for most of his life. He set off with the textbooks he compiled with several other criminals. It becomes thicker and thicker, and there is a tendency to teach a book from elementary school to university.

The people of Nightingale's Throat are making advance preparations. The current branch in Jilai County (southwest of Alingu, south of the Bungalow defense line) will soon no longer be the northernmost one. The vanguard of market research on the surface, and secretly inquiring about the news has already set off. Caleb will become the boss of the Vengalo branch as long as Earl Anna has a firm foothold there. The preliminarily decided store location is in a well-connected but backward town. It is impossible for anyone there to afford the consumption of Nightingale's Throat. However, both Rebecca and Caleb believed that after Earl Anna was settled, wealth and population would naturally gather there.

Of course Lydia followed An Xu, besides being a bound nurse, she was also one of the most outstanding medical students. Alva continued to sit in the medical school of Thunder Castle, and another proud student, Rosa, stayed for the research he was doing with his mentor. In addition, all the medical students who graduated from the teacher signed up, and finally had to admit half of them based on merit. They have begun to regard themselves as doctors. They are young and passionate, and want to help those patients who are powerless to treat minor diseases.

To An Xu's surprise, Jay also applied to join the team going north, and she had the impression that the other party was Alva's **** follower.

"I actually don't have the talent for medical treatment and alchemy." Jay scratched his hair, "Unlike the teacher, I can accurately complete the requirements, but I don't have the inspiration to find the direction, and I don't have the thirst for knowledge. I Probably not suitable for this. I want to go with you and see what I can do."

The assessment results of this young man are in the middle and lower reaches among medical students (thinking about the situation at the beginning, it is really unpredictable), but his popularity is so good that many people from different fields spontaneously come here to recommend and plead for mercy. . An Xu felt that his ability to get acquainted with anyone was a bit interesting, and he was included in the first batch of departure lists.

This is just the first batch of elites to set off. Ordinary people who are willing to emigrate with their families will set off next spring. Given the long distance of the Bungalow defense line, there is no smooth road, and the road will be blocked by ice and snow in winter. After this series of screenings and announcements, people can finally calm down. Even those who cannot go north are full of a sense of responsibility to "guard the territory left by the Thunder Queen".

The day of departure came soon, and the busy farming work came to an end, An Xu simply waved his hand and held a farewell banquet. The most difficult-to-store fresh agricultural products were brought to the table, and the banquet in Thunder Castle was rich and not wasted. It was nothing more than the cost of eating and drinking in the cafeteria for a day. However, from the perspective of other places where agricultural products can only be made by supernatural beings, this is quite a luxurious meal.

While Ansu was feasting, Chris noticed that many of those attending the farewell party wore badges on their chests. It was a metal badge the size of a silver coin. At first glance, it looked a bit like Alingu's holy emblem, but what was engraved on it was not a **** image and light, but a bolt of lightning. He asked Jay, and Jay told him that the badge was not silver, but steel.

The kind of metal that is equivalent to gold that can only be cast by the supernatural beings in other places in Yamenan by trying their best and relying on luck.

Anxu knew next to nothing about steelmaking, and all he could offer was some common-sense understanding of blast furnace steelmaking. Craftsmen and supernatural beings took her ambiguity as a test for them, and they never stopped their research on steelmaking and ironmaking. With the guidance of the gods, sufficient manpower who have attended literacy classes, unremitting research and technological black-box superpowers, the south of Aiboli has basically entered the Iron Age when farmers can use iron plows. The output of steel Although it is far inferior to iron, it can still forge a lot of weapons every year.

Therefore, those who believe in the Queen of Thunder forge their holy symbols out of steel.

They believed in her not only because she was as powerful as a **** on earth, but also because she imparted her might selflessly to the crowd. She didn't give them the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, but she gave weak and incompetent ordinary people the ability to change the world with their hands.

They believed in her not only because she put them under her protection, but also because she made people recognize the power of people again. She said that human beings can also learn the laws of the world. People stand up under her gaze and are no longer numb and ignorant lambs.

The brilliance of the Queen of Thunder is not natural and holy silver, but the light of steel blades cast in the flames of the blast furnace and the sound of the crowd's horns. As contradictory as it may sound, people believe in her like a **** because of the "human power" she demonstrates.

In Fort Thunder, on the Tibes Line, in Bungalow County, there are many, many people who are members of this religious group. After the idolatrous Queen of Thunder outlawed the (too ugly) amulets of the Favored, her image became more intangible and sublime. The people who believed in her had no organization, no sacrifices, and no need to worship. Studying hard and working hard was the way to pray to this inconceivable lord, and doing so would indeed yield good results.

Later, an outstanding worker named Ian who worked in the steel factory (he made a great contribution to steel refining) began to make badges from the scrap steel left over from building weapons, declaring that those who made enough contributions were eligible Ask him for this kind of steel holy emblem, and his persistence has gradually been recognized by many people. The monthly steel holy emblem award has been held in full swing among the people, and only Anxu himself may not know about it.

——If An Xu knows, he will probably be happy that his fanatics have become a group of rational fans.

This team set off with people's blessings. In the hearts of the first batch of elites, there was very little anxiety about the future, and most of them were blood and expectations. Like the first batch of missionaries, they set out ambitiously with the teachings of civilization in mind.

"What's that sound?" An Xu turned his head, and Thunder Fort, which was far behind him, was making a loud rumble.

"The celebration article researched by Mr. Alva, the black medicine that can be ignited is placed in the steel cylinder, and the ribbon can be sprayed when it is ignited." Lydia said, "This is still a prototype. It is said that it can be used to attack after improvement."

"...I rely on it." An Xu said.
