On the trade route responsible for communicating with the demon race, a city built on inland lakes and rivers stands quietly on this lonely wasteland like a post station for merchants to rest.

If we look at the situation in the past, in fact, no matter what the relationship between the two races is, whether it is war or peace, as long as both still exist, the city will always be active on the mainland.

Speculative merchants in search of wealth, travelers from afar, ascetics in search of the so-called truth, and even sinners who have been banished will always make this city in the middle of it a feast.

And more importantly, because the main income of the city was the customs duties paid by the merchants who came and went, even if the land was barren and there was no major industry, the people of the city were enough to live happily only by relying on the transit of goods and the taxes paid by the merchants.

You don't have to worry about life, you can see and hear strange things and new things from all over the world every day, and although the river is not filled with milk and honey, the city is enough for the people who live here to live a carefree life as if they were in a beautiful place.

But one day, a so-called partisan group of guys from different ethnicities came to the city.

These strange creatures, like devout religious believers, happily proclaim their ideals in the city, and on the other hand, like God-weary apostates, declare that there is no such thing as an all-powerful god in the world, and want to pull down the rulers who are high and create a kingdom where all races can live happily.

Just when people were afraid that this group of unscrupulous people was going to turn the place upside down, things started to go in a direction that everyone didn't expect.

Not only did this group of young and vigorous guys not go around causing trouble, but they did not have any extreme political activities, but they were like a group of stupid people who did not know how to be tired, and they were either working for others and helping those who were helpless and disadvantaged, or teaching others to read and write in dilapidated houses where no one was around.

And this group of guys who once had the audacity to put down their arrogance seemed to have forgotten what they had said, and were silent and active at the bottom like reptiles.

The nobles of the city, who had feared their presence, and had even punished and executed a number of people associated with them on trumped-up charges, recognized their harmlessness in the silence of the men, and gradually treated the seemingly dangerous fellows in the same way as merchants from other places.

What they never expected, however, was that the reptiles living at the bottom of the city were not gradually numb by the abundance of food and the safety of life like other people who came to the city.

Rather, they took root and 'multiplied' in their own unique way in silence, and then little by little they encroached on the city that was not very welcoming to them in the first place.

So, when the nobles who claimed to be in control of the situation noticed this group of guys again, the other party had already turned into a behemoth that completely controlled the bottom and most of the middle level of the city, and even the chambers of commerce that often came and went to the city had a lot of cooperation with them, and could not be touched at will.

And until this time, this group of guys still maintained, no, it should be said that they restrained themselves from clash with the nobles in the city.

But the group of guys sitting on the high platform are naturally not stupid, although the other party has not blatantly shown their fangs to themselves, but they know that the other party has not done so far, or because they are accumulating enough power to destroy themselves with one blow.

In order to prepare for the unexpected, they gathered their private soldiers and disciples, only to find that they didn't know when their private soldiers also had the other party's 'believers', and the situation of those disciples who were above the top was even more desperate.

This group of guys, who were originally obsessed with cultivation and only wanted to become stronger, for some reason, seemed to be crazy, and began to pursue the thoughts of that group of people in a daze, and even blatantly invited their own family heads to join the unknown organization.

They were already a little panicked, and they had to prepare for heavy bleeding, and when they were about to ask for help from other cities and the demon overlords who managed this area, they found that other cities were either in the same situation as themselves or worse.

And the overlord, who is the last coercive force, because of the expedition, not only did he not sit here, but he also did not have a single soldier to support.

In this way, as if pinching their death hole, the day has come for the other party to fulfill the oath he took when he came.

"Whew-" Bomba removed the eye from the bridge of his nose, put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his temple, and smiled bitterly.

I thought I wouldn't be able to deal with reading and writing for the rest of my life, but I didn't know what to do and I started to have to wear glasses.

However, as long as he can live up to the great sage who entrusted him with the holy book, and create a country where all races can live happily, then what is it?

Knock knock.

"Come in," he said, taking back his glasses with fist-piercing lenses, he took a deep breath and said as he knocked on the door.

"It's my chairman. ”

"Algernon, what's wrong. Looking at the bear man who walked in, he said with a smile on his stiff face.

The bear-man named Algernon wears a suit as wide as his size, and his clumsy appearance looks like a grizzly bear in a circus, which is surprisingly funny.

"Chairman, this is a document sent by the comrades from the cities, please take a look at it. ”

"Oh, thanks. As a result, after a rough glance at the document in the other party's hand, Bangba looked at him and asked, "Have you read this document?"

"Yes, Chairman. ”

"Do you understand?"

"That, except for some words that I can't understand, I think I understand the general content above. ”

Is that really the case?

Bomba sighed and said bitterly: "Algernon, how many times have I told you to let you go to the literacy class to get a good education, the books of the great sages have said that only with good cultural ideas can you work better, understand?"

"Yes, Chairman, I see. ”

Obviously, those nobles don't know how to read-

I didn't know at all that reading and writing had nothing to do with my own work method, so he subconsciously agreed in the face of Bangba's words.

After all, in his eyes, the orc sitting in front of him can be matched, and maybe he can really become a god after he dies, so as long as what he says, there is no doubt that it will be true.

"Well, tell me what you see in this document. Bomba asked, as he flipped through the document with one hand and carefully reviewed its contents again.

"Yes, Chairman. ”

"Don't say anything about the chairman, we are all comrades-in-arms on the same front, just call me comrade when there are no outsiders. Listening to the other party's mouthful, Bangba frowned lightly and said with a smile.

"Yes, Comrade President. ”

"You...... Okay, let's report back. ”

"Yes, Comrade President, then allow me to tell me what I see," Algernon tugged at his collar, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or because he was still wearing his clothes, his face now covered with sweat.

"Judging from the documents, the number of towns, villages, and people and materials in the vicinity of the major cities has been counted together, but after comparing the data with the previous ones, we have found that there are big errors, and I hope that Comrade Chairman will be aware of this. ”

"Well, I see, anything else?"

"Yes, Comrade Chairman, judging from this document, there has been a very serious famine from the central to the local level, and although grain prices have been regulated, the gap is still widening. ”

"What about the reason, has the reason been investigated? ”

"As the chairman hoped, we have found out why," said Algernon, little by little, as if with a hard time recalling, "it must be the embezzlement of local government officials and the reselling of merchants." ”

"Scalping?"

"Yes, there seems to be a very serious food problem in the Terrans, and the major human chambers of commerce will have the headquarters of the Food Games in the warehouse of the branch in the city, so the situation of the grain will be even more serious. ”

Actually, here Algernon is not quite telling the truth.

Indeed, the problems within humanity led the Terran merchants to prioritize the return of food to Terran territory in order to make a greater profit.

It's just that although the above reasons will have an impact, they are not fatal, and the real reason for the increasingly serious material crisis is because of the new policies introduced by the central government.

It's crazy to take all the commercial facilities in the country back to the country or something.

"I understand that the problem of the passage of domestic goods is indeed urgent, but the problem of official embezzlement is also intolerable. ”

"Ah, Comrade President, I don't know whether to say or not on this point. ”

Looking at him with a nervous face, Bang Ba said in a soothing tone: "It's okay, put forward any opinions, your comrades' suggestions are very constructive, and they are also very beneficial to the work of our Central Committee." ”

"Comrade Chairman, about those noble ...... I don't think it's better for us not to delve too deeply into the affairs of officials. ”

"What do you mean. ”

"That's it, that's it," he stammered a little, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, as if it was not a Bangba sitting in front of him, but a fierce beast grinding its teeth and sucking blood.

But—

"Comrade Chairman, those guys are not good, although they are nominally subordinate to the orders of the central government, but in fact they still do their own thing in the local area as before, and the comrades we sent are either bought and degenerated by them, or they are ......."

"There are even rumors that they did not join us for the sake of revolution at all, but only because they were disgusted with the original rulers, right?" Algernon sighed softly, then stood up from his position, turned his back to the other party, and said to himself as he looked at the large floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

"Comrade Chairman, do you know everything?"

“……”

“…… Comrade President, no matter whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire or anything else, I, Algernon, will unswervingly appear behind you, and will definitely carry out that to the end!"

"It's the revolution, Algernon. ”

"Yes, I will carry the revolution through to the end......!"

"I'm a little tired, you go down first," looking at him through the reflection on the windowsill, looking at him as he was ready to fight hard, he smiled and nodded.

"That little ...... Then I'll go first, Comrade President. ”

"Hmm. ”

Listening to the sound of the door lock clicking behind him and the heavy footsteps that gradually walked away, Bangba took off the eyes on his face, and then forcefully closed the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"That's it, Honorable Sage, Commander. As he spoke, he closed the curtains of the surrounding windows.

At this moment, on his desk, the documents that had been piled up all over the table suddenly bounced to the ground, and then a human bust appeared on the table in the form of a three-dimensional projection.

This person is naturally Chu Qing.

"It's worse than I thought. Chu Qing, who was projected, said instead, but his voice did not come from the table, but from the stereo in the corner of the room, so it was particularly vigorous, with a sense of fairy wind and detachment.

"I'm really sorry for betraying your trust, this is my serious disqualification, so please punish me. ”

"No, it's enough to be able to do it to this extent, you don't need to feel guilty about it," Chu Qing's image straightened his tie, and then said, "But on the other hand, I want to know what the solution is for the current situation." ”

"Yes, according to my thoughts, first of all, on the loss of materials, we should use the coercive power of the state to fundamentally directly control and intercept the materials that the Chamber of Commerce is trying to transport, which does not need to be consulted with them too much, as long as the local government where the Chamber of Commerce is located is enough, although the other party may not be very willing to accept our management, but for this matter, they are also happy to let our central government be blackfaced. ”

"Well, yes, then there's more. Listening to his words, Chu Qing nodded as if he was satisfied with his thoughts.

"Yes, there is also the matter of the local not accepting the jurisdiction of the central government, yes, in this matter, the most important thing is to combine the situation of each city, if the local stubborn forces still occupy the majority, it is necessary to use stratagems to disintegrate the enemy from the inside, if the situation is just the opposite, directly solve the problem by force, which can not only prevent future troubles, but also play a certain warning role, that is, this way. ”

"Well, yes, it's a relatively safe way, but it's just ......" Chu Qing thought for a while, and suddenly asked as soon as he spoke, "Let's not talk about this first, Bangba, let me ask you, what kind of country do you want to establish?"

"What kind of country?" Obviously not knowing where the other party's words were referring to, he was stunned for a moment as when he first saw Chu Qing, and then said sincerely, "I want to build a country that is as rich and strong, democratic, civilized, and harmonious as your country is like that of the Great Sage, just like the beautiful world written in the books of those Great Sages." ”

"Oh~ It's really a standard answer," he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "but as soon as I came up, I wanted to challenge the establishment of a utopia, and this kind of thing is really powerful enough." ”

"Is that kind of country called a utopia? Yes, Mr. Chu Qing, what I want to build is a utopia!"

"Very good, I like this answer, so then, do as I say, and let me see if you can make this long and narrow country a paradise on this continent with my help." ”

"Yes! If you have the help of the great sage, then it will definitely succeed. ”

"That's right!" Chu Qing, who was unusual, responded to the other party's words and said very confidently, "Then Bangba, from now on, rely on your hands and your comrades, with my help, let the world see what kind of place the so-called utopia and the so-called heaven are!"

"Yes, Lord Chu Qing, the great sage!"
