Chapter 624: The Madman's Fantasy City (II) Gives Up
The mourning star, Octavian Huls, the "madman", actually sent an envoy to Bejara, which was the first time since he entered Dima, and the contemporary Philipon Patriarch showed great curiosity and necessary caution.
And Huls's request made Yan Muzun feel a little strange, he didn't want to change the "Dima Compromise Act", nor did he ask for anything, but to find a book that Yan Muzun had never heard of, "Fire and Qi".
"More than 50 years ago, a good friend of His Royal Highness the Dima Hills in Bejara, Lanshuo Egmar, once wrote a book called "Fire and Gas", and time has passed, His Royal Highness the Dima Hills wants to revisit this book to remember his old friend, but there is no book on the market, so he can only come to seek the help of His Majesty Yan Muzun in Bejara. ”
In the Siber system, the nominal supreme leader of the country is the king of the mountains, but in fact the power is in the hands of the second pastor of Yanshan appointed by Fei Argon, and the lord of Siber County, who is also appointed by Fei Argon, is independent of power and checks and balances with the second pastor of Yan Mountain.
This was the lesson that Filip learned from it, and the former Filip dynasty appointed its own branch, later known as the Gili Lasi family, to rule Fili, which grew larger and larger, and later annexed Fili.
Under the lord of Siber, he is the commander of each main city, and is named the lord of the hills, and Huls has a high degree of autonomy over Dima, that is, in addition to the diplomatic power, coinage power and customs power in the hands of Urdoch, all powers such as executive power, legislative power, and judicial power are completely autonomous, so Hulse's title is the lord of the hills of Dima.
The towns under the lord of the hill were governed by local families or magistrates appointed by Dima, while the country nobility was completely self-governing below, as is the case all over the world.
For Fei Argon, as long as Huls doesn't go out to make trouble, what he wants is to satisfy him as much as possible, and now it has only been 9 years since Huls washed his hands, and this Yan Muzun has a fresh memory of Huls's troubled years, of course, he doesn't dare to make a stumbling block in this kind of minutiah.
Isn't it "Fire and Qi Science"? Find it, there is no such thing as a bestseller in the palace library, and there are no bestsellers on the market, so you can only ask the one who has a wealth of knowledge, and the royal one is really rich in knowledge, and he knows a little about this book.
"Fire and Qi is a collection of fantasy essays, that is, a group of aristocrats who feel that this society is too dark, and they are full of some utopian dreams that will be carried out in the future, of course, they themselves call it reform, or salvation. ”
"As for this book of "Fire and Qi", after all, it was written by a member of the Lanshuo family, so the palace library has a collection, but didn't Huls blow up the palace decades ago?
"Oh, I'm digressing, anyway, Hulse blew up the palace, the library was within the range of the explosion, many books were destroyed in the explosion, Fire and Gas was one of them, and now there are no more books in the palace. ”
"Don't try to buy it in the market, the book didn't sell well that year, Miss Egma still published it at her own expense, and after so many years, I guess I can't find it at all. The only way to do this is to find out who had dreamed with Miss Egmar back then, and whose descendants might have a few books in their possession. ”
It is worthy of being a royal worship with a wealth of life experience, and although he has a lot of rambling words, he at least points the way to investigate Lanshuo Egma's former friends.
But a new problem arose, Arashio Egmar was not a fancier at the time, even as a dreamer, and no one recorded her life, and even if there was a record, it was the priests who, for the sake of her and Huls, recorded in the church chronicle that "Arashuo hostage Egmar and the 'madman' Huls" were kind, and then it was gone.
At this time, it was the worshipper with rich life experience who pointed out the way to them: "You go and check the famous dreamers of the time, and then ask them one by one, isn't it okay?"
This method is good, so the guard in charge of this matter brought a list of the dreamers of the year, eh, this was recorded, and after taking it, they went to the door one by one to investigate.
After more than half a year of searching, I finally found "Fire and Gas" in a library of the descendants of the dreamers, but unfortunately it was only a fragment, and many words have long been blurred because of the passage of time.
However, the person in charge doesn't want to pursue it anymore, and the matter of the "madman" is not Yan Muzun's business, just send this scrap to hand it over. And so, after a while, Huls, who lived in Dima, finally received the book, "Fire and Gas" by an old friend.
Hulse has little guts, and "The Legend of King Arthur" and "Tales of the Mountains" make Hulse think that he understands that if he doesn't lead a group of people to create a better world, they will all be corrupted and then turn away from the old ways, just like the tragedy of King Arthur and the Mountains.
So Hulse wanted to devolve power to the civilians at the beginning, and let the civilians manage their own lives, but the five years turned out to be a disaster that they couldn't bear to look at.
Since man cannot be a credible executor, Hulse remembers the words of her old friend Egmar, who claims to use strange things to improve the standard of living, and that they are abundant in materials, and that they can be manipulated by everyone, so that they can avoid "people" who may be corrupted and defected.
But the sad thing is that when Egma introduced Hulse to Hulse, Hulse basically went in and out of the left ear, and now, more than 50 years later, the specific remarks have almost been forgotten, and only a few bits and pieces are remembered, so Hulse wants to take a look at the original text, which is difficult to find everywhere in the past.
Over the next few months, Hulse read Egma's "The Science of Fire" and read the article in general, and the memories of the past and the fading memories began to become clear as he re-read the "Science of Fire".
The book is divided into four parts, the first part mainly introduces the ideas of various utopians on social reform before Egma, Igma criticized many utopians who believed that human nature was inherently evil and should physically eliminate all the low-end population, and gradually focused on the improvement of society.
The second part is to introduce the use of spirit stones for improvement, as well as the previous experiments of visionaries on each spirit stone, and finally came to the conclusion that relying on "fire crystal spirit stones" is the best solution.
The third part is to introduce how to use the "Fire Crystal Spirit Stone" to improve, that is, through spiritual power guidance, the "Fire Crystal Spirit Stone" can provide a steady stream of energy, and then use this energy to drive the machine, so as to complete a series of labor projects that require heavy physical work.
The fourth part begins with Egmar's fantasy after using the "Fire Crystal Spirit Stone".
Agma believes that with this energy, the poor farmers can be freed from heavy manual work, and they can do more and more meaningful work, earn more wealth for their families, and thus improve their living conditions.
The peasants did not need to be tied to the fields and when they had money, they would contribute more wealth to the country, and the nobles, after getting more wealth, could use this wealth to improve the urban environment, so that the lives of the common people were also improved, and they began to bring more wealth to the country.
Then in the end, the commoners are rich, the peasants are rich, the nobles are rich, the country is rich, and such a rich country naturally does not need to invade other countries, and the war will disappear with it.
This is Igma's utopian plan for society, and Herls, who is almost 100 years old, cannot refute the mistakes, but still instinctively feels that something is quite wrong.
However, although something is wrong, it is a good idea to use the "Fire Crystal Spirit Stone" to drive the machine to liberate manpower, and Huls, who has no other way out, decided to follow his old friend's idea and build a machine that can stably release the energy of the "Fire Crystal Spirit Stone".
"Egma, Agma, let me help you turn your fantasy into reality, I hope you can also shelter me, don't make any more mistakes," the old friend's confident and crisp voice seemed to reach Hulse's ears through more than fifty years, in exchange for Huls's sigh of reminiscing about the beautiful past.
"Grandson, grandpa told you that the 'madman' was short of money to spend more than ten years ago, so he specially levied the so-called 'fire gas tax', and collected taxes from us to make some 'fire gas machines' for him, that thing needs metal, and he collected all the metals in our mansion back then. ”
"And then?"
"Later, of course, it failed again, and the prices went up slowly, and another famine began, and this time even the followers he had brought to Dima could not stand it, and they gathered around the door of the mansion and scolded this shameless 'madman' for being shut up, so that a year before you were born, he closed the palace gates, and has not opened them again to this day. ”
"Phew, God of Flame, it's good that the 'madman' didn't leave the palace before I was born, otherwise I would have been hurt by his nonsense. ”
"What are you talking about, grandson? You are a Sydneysider, you should seek the protection of the god of the mountains, how can you seek the protection of the god of fire?
"The god of the mountains, I can't say anything about the gods, but if anyone in our class is a staunch believer in the god of the mountains, he will be ridiculed, alas, but unfortunately I haven't been to Urdoci, because the 'madman' lives in the mountains, and there are few people in Dima, so I don't know the West Field, otherwise I would go out and say a few words of West Field, it would be very face-saving. ”
This grandfather fell into a trance, he found that over the years, there have been more and more young people who have abandoned the god of the mountains to seek the god of flames, and have sought the Sifeli language according to the Sydney language.
Well, what does that have to do with me? Whether I speak Sydney or Seafeli, I'm a nobleman, isn't it......
To the west of Dima, in the territory of Ruiying Maiqiu, a man dressed as an ascetic has already made a salute and is ready to set off, and Sibo, who is about to sweep southern Xinjiang in the future, will be born because of his trip.
