Chapter Ninety-Four: Faith and Survival (II)
But~
To Patyusha's and Eddy's wonders, why some of the homeless people in the camp were still lying indifferent inside and outside the tents, and they did not accept alms from all religions, nor did they apply for "better-paying jobs", only a small number of young people went to work with chambers of commerce, dock helpers, The intermediaries of the artisans' associations and other organizations approached the rough manual work of the laborers, and the elderly, women, and children only went to the few well-meaning wealthy families and nobles in the city, and sent a limited number of unconditional relief positions, or they were just silent and staring at the sky and waiting for the "arrangement of fate".
"If these people really go, I'm afraid many of them won't be able to come back. These organizations and individuals are not really here to do charity~" Sigrid watched from the side for a long time, and suddenly said something amazing.
Master Bruno glanced at her sideways, a little surprised by the little girl's experience and profound insight, and nodded slightly as if in agreement.
"There are still a lot of good people in this world, you see that many local nobles and wealthy businessmen who have come to help have provided jobs? If the displaced people seize the opportunity to work hard, maybe many people can adapt to life here and survive?" Patyusha and Eddie think that Sigley~ may be because they have been resold and destroyed by human traffickers, so their views on the government and society are too extreme and unfair, and they really look at human nature too darkly~
This is almost like some opinion full of conspiracy theories, but these must be a very small number of "individual phenomena"~~~
"You two are just talking childish and stupid nonsense, first use your brain to observe the identities of the people around you, think about the internal logic of other people's actions, and don't spend all day like the delicate flowers and plants cultivated in the castle greenhouse. Chen Xuyuan suddenly reprimanded the two of them with some dissatisfaction.
Eddie thought that the teacher was biased in favor of the female disciple, and his face was directly like a shriveled eggplant, unconvinced but also embarrassed, although Pa Tyusha still couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, but she didn't want to confront Master Chen, the most powerful in the team.
Instead, Bruno patiently explained to the two of them: "There is no such thing as a free lunch, and to receive alms from the church, it is necessary to abandon the original beliefs such as Basatan, the god of the sea, which most of the people on the coast believe in." Some of the old people who used to farm and fish have difficulty in changing their ways, and they will not be willing to change them, and they also hope that they will be able to get a good piece of land that crops once a month when they die because of their devout faith. To accept alms from other churches is to betray one's faith, and to go to the alms of the aristocracy and wealthy merchants to beg for food, if they are taken aback, they must sign a contract with others to become a domestic slave, and sell their personal freedom. Some of them who drag their families with their families must still have a few acres of cultivated fields in their hometowns, and when the war subsides, they will definitely want to leave this place and go back to sow seeds in the spring and summer; to go to those maritime trade and financial circulation institutions that seem to be well paid and that they can make a fortune, they need to be eloquent, the lower limit of deception, and the black heart of betraying their integrity like a devil."
If they meet the "good people" of the labor service companies that introduce them to work in other places, the results may not be much better!! most of the "labor dispatch companies and intermediaries" are ~ to sweatshops, illegally detained contractors and private black-hearted workshops, and long-term introduction to cheap contractors who do consumables. How can those good jobs be their turn, these out-of-town displaced people who have no status and roots?!?! even if they are regular contract workers, not only are most of them hard and dangerous, almost all day a week, but they also need to be sucked by the labor company on the meager salary, otherwise the locals would have been swarmed with it. In addition, in many harsh working environments, it is easy to get various occupational diseases such as pulmonary silicosis and tuberculosis, and these positions are always the most lacking. Because I die fast~~~"
"What's worse is that ~ many labor companies are simply traffickers and cults pretending to be, and those who are deceived have become slaves. Seriously, he directly cut the organs and sold them to unscrupulous capitalists and spellcasters, and made them into cheap spell casting materials. The finished spell materials are sold to individuals in urgent need of goods, war-torn countries, and major churches. The soul is smuggled to inhuman evil organizations such as the Hell Abyss. Or the whole person is made into a physical golem or a puppet, and used as scraps for sacrifices to evil gods. In short, life and death cannot be controlled by oneself. How sad is this~"
"Ahh!!h
The little girl covered her lips in surprise, and her eyes were full of tearful sympathy.
Although most of the people who fled were terrified and helpless, it was not without well-informed and calm people.
An old farmer on the side of the road, who had been reclining on a wooden pillar nailed to the ground and fixing his tent, suddenly stopped the green smoke in his hand, sighed and explained to Patyusha: "You little girl is kind. But even the king doesn't want to care about this~ how can there be other people meddling in their affairs! Isn't this a contrast to the king's mediocrity and incompetence? If that person doesn't do a good job, it doesn't matter...... But if it's better than the king...... This is a reflection of the political incorrectness of the officials~ But something big is going to happen. Hey~~~!Maybe the king will find a reason to be cut all over the house~"
"Lately, though, the young men have been able to find good jobs, and I've heard that Archduke Dundee has recruited a lot of young men to expand his castle on the island, and many young people who don't have families to worry about have signed up to beg for food...... So most of the people left here are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. ”
Even if you hear everyone say so.
Patyusa was still a little incredulous, the world outside of her hometown where she grew up was so dark. Although when she was studying at the Sarn Wizarding Academy, she didn't hear some tragic rumors about the poor people from her classmates, but it was all like in the storytelling~ It felt like a long distance. Talking and talking, they will also joke about these things, as a joke after tea and dinner, and have fun~~~
Eddie had been in the remote mountains before, although he had seen a group of weapons fighting to rob the hunting grounds in the mountains and forests, and he had also seen the clansmen who were hacked to death because of this. But people who do not know the outside "civilized" world have more civilized and obscure methods of cannibalism, and the methods of struggle are more complex. The political, power-and-money struggles in those countries are ten or a hundred times darker, cruel and vicious than the barbaric struggles between the closed and backward Karui tribes in the mountains and villages.
