Since entering the city, he has been dizzy and amazed: "That's amazing! I never thought that grain and vegetables could be grown like this." As long as the land is used effectively, it is true that abundant products can be harvested. ”

"We have a department dedicated to environmental issues, including: soil and water conservation, vegetation regeneration, rational use of the environment, control of livestock populations, etc., to avoid conflicts between the population and the environment. Tiward told the messengers. In fact, I had heard from the streamers earlier that when farming people seek a way to survive, they often start by destroying nature. Because the agrarian people had to constantly reclaim the land, the side effects of agriculture would inevitably follow, destroying habitats, causing epidemics, leading to class divisions, tyranny, wars, famines, and so on. In order to take a long-term plan, those adults had to ask the streamers for advice, and created a way of living that uses the environment holistically without destroying nature, and is still improving.

In order to ensure the sustainable production of food, there is no wasted land in the city, except for the countryside in the suburbs, and the plants planted have their own uses. The people of Jianing have cultivated multi-layered edible fruit groves, with tall fruit trees and low crops, especially potatoes and nuts with short growing seasons, which are easy to store and suitable for emergencies, to ensure a sustainable food source.

Edible plants that are beautiful and easy to grow are also neatly planted around the house and inside and outside the courtyard. On some of the low courtyard walls, there are many clay pots connected by ropes, and various plants are planted in the clay pots. Some short-term vegetables or spices can be planted in the next pot immediately after eating one pot, which is very convenient. There are also a variety of ingredients that are being dried and intended for storage, red, green, yellow, purple, white...... Hanging under the eaves in strings, it is very interesting and beautiful. In addition, there are a number of public warehouses in the city dedicated to the preparation and storage of aged, bacon, cured and fermented meats.

There is a man-made creek about half an arm's width that leads from the forest into the city, and it flows in front of the houses along the pattern of the city. The bottom of the water is paved with smooth pebbles, and schools of fish swim in the clear water, adding a lot of life to the city. On both sides of the road, there are not only flowers and plants, but also melons and fruits, which are picked and eaten by passers-by. They not only adorn the city, but also help people to meet the needs of food.

As he walked, he introduced the city to the envoys. Passing through the central square, he noticed a strange house not far away, with a somewhat unusual style, with only load-bearing columns and no walls, and several statues of equal size inside. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is that two-pitched roof building for?"

"It was the Temple of the Gods. Tiward replied.

"Temple of the Gods?" the messengers all looked suspicious.

"It's a temple dedicated to the gods of different religions. "As the population of Canin City continues to grow, it is no longer the only Naboland people who settled here, as it used to be. Therefore, in order to meet the spiritual needs of the believers of various denominations, a temple of the gods was built next to the central square. ”

"Why do gods of different sects live under the same roof?" said Otis in surprise, and the rest of the group looked at Tiward in confusion. Since ancient times, it has been common for people to kill each other because of different beliefs, not to mention that more than ten years ago, the people of Napoleand destroyed a thousand-year-old city in order to defend the exclusive honor of the lizard god. Therefore, it is inconceivable to put those idols from different sects under the same roof.

"Here, the teachings of religion have been gradually neglected and have long since ceased to be relevant. Although people still worship their respective gods, they often walk into the 'Temple of the Gods' together, and they learn to tolerate each other, which is the true meaning of the 'Temple of the Gods'. That adult never wanted to suppress the faith of the people, and it is this new world that embraces differences. In the near future, peace will become a common faith. Tiward said.

"How can the profound meaning of this be summed up by the simple word 'tolerance'? The civilization created by the Jianing people is worthy of learning from all the people in the Eastern Continent. Rod sighed.

"Reducing cultural differences is indeed the best way to eliminate conflicts and maintain peace. It seems that the success and strength of the forest nation lies in their effective management of the collective ideology. Noro was also impressed.

"Of course, because what we are practicing is 'peace', not 'politics' in the traditional sense of enslavement. Tiward said proudly.

"Is it taken from the meaning of 'harmony and peace'?" asked Noro with great interest.

"Yes, it is a 'rule of man' based on the spirit of peace and inclusiveness. "Although we have a leader, we are not ruled by anyone, all of us are just living in the order of the city of Canin equally, and our souls are free. People who are free in soul will become more friendly and tolerant, open their minds and stimulate creativity. This invisible wisdom will lead people to a rich and colorful spiritual world, and they will no longer be trapped in narrow-mindedness and hostile hatred of everything. Thus the mentally paranoid refugees who were once enslaved can so quickly become refreshed and self-confident citizens. ”

Although there is no ruling class, there is an administrative hierarchy. They attach great importance to the management and allocation of public resources, and have established a number of professional departments, each with a corresponding management system, to maintain the long-term peace and stability of Jianing society. Neither the chiefs nor the adults belong to the parasitic class, and their task is to think diligently about how to create a more peaceful and free living environment for the people, and more stimulating people's creativity, rather than how to exploit and seek power. Those who are engaged in legislative affairs are broadly divided into three departments, including those that collect public opinions, those that collect opinions from all sides, and those that are responsible for reviewing and promulgating formal laws and regulations that can be implemented. However, soliciting public opinion does not mean that any decision must be made under the direction of the public. In fact, from the public opinion gathered, it is still a few adults who have won the unanimous trust of everyone who carefully selected feasible proposals and codified them. After all, the people's ideals are diverse, and the opinions put forward have both advantages and disadvantages, and adults must make rational arrangements for various public affairs on the basis of "peace and inclusiveness" and avoid harm and profit. Only in this way can we win the universal support and respect of the people and the country achieve long-term peace and stability.

"Over there...... Library?!" Kailas said in surprise, pointing to a large building on the edge of the central plaza. Above the gate, the word "Library" is indeed very clearly written.

"Exactly!" said Tiward proudly at the mention of the library, "day and night, the library is never closed, and anyone can go in and read." ”

"Open the library to the general public?!" the Nuland nobles who visited were amazed.

No wonder they were so shocked, because in the Eastern Continent, libraries were usually built in royal palaces, or in places that were only for nobles to read. Literate civilians, although numerous, generally have low levels of knowledge because they have very limited access to books. Historically, the early written language was originally confined to the aristocracy, mainly for tax keeping, political propaganda, or the transmission of military orders, and was only a tool to help the aristocracy rule over the common people. The Eastern Continent is highly hierarchical, and the vital knowledge and technology can only be mastered by the aristocratic class, who have strict control over the flow of information, and the amount of knowledge and information that ordinary people have access to is pitiful, they only need to honestly grow food and serve to feed the nobles. The untouchables are not allowed to open their minds, and to curb their thirst for knowledge is to prevent them from plotting against the regime and to maintain the stable position of the aristocracy.

The emissaries had never heard of a library like this, which stood on the edge of the city's central square, with its doors wide open and allowing children to run around. But this forest nation is about to be founded, and how many books can be put in such a huge library, and even if there are books, how many of the runaway civilians and slaves can read them?

Kairas wondered, "Are there a lot of books in there?"

"The number of books is increasing all the time, but it's still not enough. After all, adults have to finish writing a book before they can continue to write the next one, and the person who copied the book is a little too busy. Tiward replied.

"Could it be that the book was written by your leader, too?" said Murge, surprised.

"No, no, the library is the brainchild of another adult. Tiward quickly shook his head. It's no wonder they feel confused, after all, "adult" is just a universal honorific title, and it is easy to get confused without a name next to it.

"Are all Jianing literate?" asked Kairaz again.

"Of course!," affirmed Tiward, "for us ignorance is also a sin, a sin that man commits against himself. Because ignorance will be deceived and slaughtered, and even wild beasts are inferior. Therefore, those who do not want to learn knowledge will also be thrown into the forest to tame animals. Although it is a great thing to be able to tame Tachibana, it is also difficult to survive the first few days without enough food and sleep in the forest. ”

The harm caused by narrow-mindedness and ignorance is often more terrible than other crimes, even devastating. Therefore, knowledge and conduct are very important, it can improve people's knowledge, make people understand things, distinguish between right and wrong, so as not to do some stupid things that hurt others and harm themselves. It is precisely because of this that in the library of Jianing City, there are also a variety of books, not only limited to hard knowledge, but also many soft knowledge. It can even be said that soft knowledge is the most important thing in education. In other words, people need technology and skills to improve their lives, but they also need truth and ideas to shape their souls.

People can also learn from history to help them predict the fate of current policies. Since ancient times, the ruling class has held the power to dominate the hearts and minds of the people, and through education, the ideology of the people can be shaped to lead the people to good, and it can also lead the people to evil. Therefore, the compilers of books in Jianing City also shoulder the heavy responsibility of repairing the soul, and must be very cautious and persuasive, through all kinds of books, to guide people to spontaneously support peace, tolerate differences, and open their minds, and use this spontaneous spirit as much as possible to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the country, rather than forcibly instilling patriotic ideas and stimulating people's xenophobia. There is a world of difference between spontaneous support for peace and passive acceptance of established patriotic ideas, and the results are very different.

"I didn't expect such a learned person to be in the Devil's Forest......" Kailath exclaimed, looking puzzled.

"Of course!" said the adult, Tiward puffed up his chest as if it were his own glory. When he talks about the chief, he is mostly in awe, but this lord is like a father and a brother.
