Chapter 117: The Great News That Gathers
February 16, 138 AH, Fort Crown. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This was Maier's third visit to Fort Crown, and his second meeting with Ramogis. The purpose of his trip was to complete the agreement with Ramogis and bring with him the new ideas that Ramogis wanted.
However, this new idea, which was summed up from the "Three Schools", did not satisfy Ramogis. In his opinion, neither the ideas of the new shrines, nor the ideas of the Theological Society, nor the ideas of the Ilibi people were suitable for the ancient people. From the very beginning, Maier misunderstood what Ramogis meant, and although Ramogis spoke of these three ideas when he made his request, what he wanted was not the product of the fusion of these three ideas, but a key that would free the shackles of the thinking of the Dukons.
"My wise half son." Ramogis smiled wryly and spread his hands, "I regret one thing, and that is that I can only be half of your father. Your father was a great man and was well versed in the art of education, but he made a big mistake with you, and that was that he instilled too much of his own mind into you, so that you lost the opportunity to think about many things. In the case of faith, for example, I am also a god-worshipping person, but I don't instill my understanding of God in Euris from a young age. Man's relationship with God is always one-to-one, and everyone should come into contact with God's will with their own will, which your father said. ”
"Mary, have you ever had one-on-one communication with God since you can remember? I haven't talked to you about this, but I can see your relationship with God in your habits. You believe in God's existence and are willing to follow God's rules, but you don't desire to commune with God and never want to touch Him. You always act on your own minds, following the rules you learned from your father, thinking that this is enough. ”
"Before you married Euris, Euris told me in her letter. Before you destroyed the Black Shrine, you went through the oracle at the former Satomi Shrine. You are asked by the Great Shrine Maiden to smash the dyed pottery you sold, and each time you will get 167 fragments, 30 of which are triangular, and then the Great Shrine Maiden will take you to see the apprentice shrine maiden. It is precisely because you have seen the costume of the apprentice witch that you will be suspicious of the witch girl who has the same costume. In order to solve the mystery, you destroyed the Black Shrine. ”
"As soon as I learned about the oracle, I went to ask the spirit master of the Temple of All Souls, but no one was able to unlock the oracle. I thought about it alone for fifteen days, and during a prayer, God made me notice that the difference between 167 and 166 was 1, and that before the destruction of Riya Shrine, the total number of Irajin Shrines was 166, plus the so-called Black Shrine was exactly 167. Dyed pottery represents incompetent vessels, broken means disaster, and triangle means solid, that is, this oracle may mean that Irajin Shrine will be punished by the gods, and only 30 shrines will be spared. ”
"But this is just my personal speculation, not necessarily the real solution. So I asked God if my assumption was right or wrong. As I prayed, God revealed to me that I was aware of your presence. I found that I had been ignoring an important element of the oracle, and that was the man who broke the dyed pottery. The Black Shrine died because of you, and the demise of the Satomi Shrine had little to do with you, but in the end, the Satomi Shrine became a new-style shrine and was brought under your hands, avoiding the destruction in the true sense of the word, and living a stable life. ”
"Becoming solid after being broken is just right with the oracle. After that, Kamijin Shrine was annexed, and it was also broken and stabilized, and these two Ira Shrines became stable because of you, which is also in line with the oracle. If my reasoning is correct, then in the future, there will be 28 Irajin Shrines that will be changed because of you, and the rest of Iraa Shrines will perish because of you. God will use your hand to correct His ways and save the Iraites who have been lost in their evil ways. ”
"Mary, you are the one who has experienced the oracle, but you only treat it as a puzzle, and forget it when you think you have the answer. Listen to Ulis say that you often talk about God's love, and you talk about God's love, but you never think about understanding it, you don't feel it, because you don't want to understand it, you don't want to feel it. Because your father's teachings have been firmly in your heart, you feel that if you do that, you will be worthy of everything. ”
"I know you think a lot, Mel, but what are you thinking? Whatever is in your heart, your mind revolves around. If you have God in your heart, you will think about God day and night. If you have your family in your heart, you will think about your family day and night. If you have the people in your heart, you will think about the affairs of the people day and night. Where your heart is, there your mind is. Where the thought is, there is the action. ”
"But what are you doing, Mel? I can't leave Ögusburg, but my eyes never leave you. I think you're smart, but you're always doing what a fool would do. You always walk with your head down, waiting for the stone to reach your feet before you think about lifting your feet, and waiting for the pit to reach your feet before trying to avoid it. But you are lucky because you will always get help from others at critical moments to get you through difficult times. ”
"But as a human being, this is not possible. People should help each other, but that doesn't mean people should stop there. When will you be able to lift your head and see the world through your own eyes? Whatever you do, I see you as a smart person, because you are a smart person. Smart people have bright eyes and can always see through the essence of things at a glance. The desires of the wise are always based on their vision, and what they seek must be beneficial to others and to themselves. ”
"O Mel, touch your heart, find your desires. Where is your desire? Is it in the appetite? Is it in money and wealth? Is it in vanity? Is it in the sense of superiority that comes with power? Is it in controlling the pleasure of others? Is it in the lusts of the flesh? Is it in the lust of the psyche? If not, then where is your desire? What exactly do you want? What do you want to do? If you don't know this, how do you know what you're doing? ”
After saying this, Ramogis sent Maier back. After Mel returned to the Bluestone Palace, he locked himself in his room, did not eat, drink, or see anyone, and thus passed for three days.
During these three days, a lot happened in the kingdom of Byrons.
First of all, there is a big movement on the side of the scientific research department. The second generation of hybrid crops was officially put into production, and this time the variety of crops has increased a lot, among which potato crops have received great attention from the Royal Cabinet.
Prior to the Cataclysm, potato crops were widely cultivated in the native worlds of the major races due to their high yields. But after the cataclysm, potato crops were much less productive than other crops, so potatoes were more expensive in the New World than other grains. After cross-breeding, the yield of potato crops gradually returned to the pre-cataclysmic level, which was higher than other food crops of the same generation, which meant that the grain production of the Kingdom of Byron would be further increased.
Incidentally, before the Battle of the Frontier began, Maier had a batch of hybrid seeds sent to the Temporary Taeyong Elf Settlement for the Settlement Elves to take back and plant. After Maier returned home, there was feedback from the temporary Taeyong goblin settlement. It turns out that the seeds of the hybrid crops did not increase food production for the Tayyong elf colony. The elves of the settlement have done many experiments, and they have found that the yield of grain is fixed regardless of whether they use good or bad seeds. In other words, hybrid crop technology cannot increase the grain yield of the Taeyong elf settlement.
However, the grain yield of the Tairong Fairy Settlement is already very high, and even the yield of the second-generation hybrid crops in the outside world is far inferior to that of the similar crops in the Tairong Fairy Settlement. Maier felt that the grain yield of the Taeyong elf settlement should be the maximum yield of this type of crop, and even if the agricultural technology of the outside world was improved to the peak level, it could only barely match the yield of the Taeyong elf settlement.
At the same time, good news also came from the Ministry of National Defense. After more than half a year of testing, the experimental unit has summed up an analysis report. The report lists the advantages and disadvantages of the new rifles, the old tactics that are no longer applicable to the new rifle units, and the new tactics developed by the experimental units themselves.
In their analysis, the experimental unit noted that the new rifle unit could crush any unit except the Elt Guards cavalry in the next thirty years. The protective performance of the enchanted armor of the Elt Guards is so good that even the fixed integrated bullets with excellent energy concentration cannot break the armor. Fortunately, the cost of such armor is extremely high, and the number of Elt Guards cavalry is limited, as long as the tactics are right, the new rifle units can still defeat them.
The day after the experimental troops handed in their analysis report, the emissaries of the Republic of Bujin arrived in the city of Byrons. The envoys of the Republic of Bujin came this time to redraw the border with the Kingdom of Byrons. The Bujin Republic is ready to return the five northern towns that had been taken from Kamijin County to the Kingdom of Byrons, but they will not evacuate the immigrants from these five towns.
As of December 30, 137 AH, the Republic of Bujin had sent more than 20,000 immigrants to these five towns, more than half of whom were Bujin people. That is, after the return of the five northern towns in the Republic of Bukin, the number of Ilibians in the Kingdom of Byron will increase by at least 10,000.
Of course, the number of Ira has increased even more. After the five northern towns were occupied by the Bujin Republic, many Ira people fled back to Kamijin Prefecture, but more than 100,000 Ira people remained in the five northern towns and did not leave. In other words, after the return of the five northern towns in the Republic of Bukin, the Ira will become the most populous race in the Kingdom of Byrons.
On the same day, Wei Xu, who had been transferred to the regular army and received the rank of lieutenant general, submitted an application for transfer to the cabinet. There will be no new military operations in the Kingdom of Byron in the 138th year of the new calendar, and Wei Xu, who wants to make another meritorious service, wants to go to the Tairong Kingdom to lead the troops to fight.
Tengyuan's side was already short of manpower, especially a general like Wei Xu who could lead an army alone. If Wei Xu's application report is written normally, Salin, who is the Minister of Defense, can directly approve his application and let him go to the Tairong Kingdom as a guest general to assist Tengyuan.
But Wei Xu's application report is very strangely written. There are two reasons for his transfer, the first reason is normal, the line is to help Maier expand his territory, and the subtext is that he wants to be promoted through meritorious service; The second reason is very strange, Wei continued to say that he wanted to help Mel get his nephew back.
Maier now has ten wives, but only Yishan has sisters. Now it is impossible for Yiyu to have a child, in this case, the nephew that Wei Xu said can only be the boy born to Yijuan and the man of the Laiyu family.
How did Wei Xu know about this? It all started on February 1, 138 AH.
At that time, Wei Xu had just moved from Limi City to Byron City and lived in the official residence near the Bluestone Palace. The living environment here is not as good as his residence in Limi City, and Wei Xu is not used to living in it, so he submitted an application to the cabinet and wanted to buy a house in the city at his own expense.
Since it was a self-funded purchase, the cabinet naturally had no reason to stop it. At this time, the housing prices in Byron City were very low, and Wei Xu used his savings to buy a small farm yard on the outskirts of the city, and spent money to let people expand the courtyard. When expanding his residence, Wei Xu cheekily lived in the bluestone palace of Meier.
Changrong also lives in Qingshi Palace, and Wei Xu often waits on the way she travels, wanting to meet her more. The two are officials in the same dynasty, even if Changrong doesn't like Wei Xu anymore, he has to say hello symbolically after seeing him.
On the evening of February 10, Wei Xu waited at the main gate of the Qingshi Palace as usual. In the afternoon of this day, he and Yan Zhiheng and Yijuan went boating on Yongfeng Lake again, and the location of Changrong's inspection on this day happened to be Yongfeng Village. Yijuan knew that it would take a long detour to send her back to Qingshi Palace with Yan Zhiheng, so she wanted to go back with Changrong.
He Yan Zhiheng felt that the two of them were just on the way, so they didn't insist and handed Yijuan over to Changrong. The two are also familiar with each other, and they chatted while walking on the way back to Qingshi Palace. When he was about to arrive at the Bluestone Palace, Chang Rong talked about Maier's children. As a close minister of the king, she often visited the princes and princesses in the side hall. The kids were lovely and she was reluctant to leave every time she went.
This topic evoked Yijuan's sadness. As soon as she remembered that her son was still in Laimao's house, her heart ached, and before Changrong could finish expressing her feelings, her tears fell down her eyes. When Changrong saw Yijuan's tears, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly spoke comfortingly.
Wei Xu saw Changrong from a distance, and stood at the gate expectantly waiting. But he didn't want the two of them to stop less than thirty meters away from the gate of the Qingshi Palace, Wei Xu didn't know what was going on, and immediately ran over. Changrong was in a very bad mood because he said the wrong thing, and Wei Xu appeared at such a time, undoubtedly hitting the muzzle of the gun.
Changrong's cold words did not make Wei Xu flinch, and through Changrong's comfort to Yijuan, he roughly understood what happened between the two, and also learned what happened to Yijuan.
After this, a fire ignited in Wei Xu's heart. I don't know why this flame was born, maybe it was sympathy for Yijuan's plight, or maybe it was to be cool in front of the opposite sex I liked, but this flame was already burning, and the words full of passion had already blurted out.
