121. Hometown, Hometown (First Shift!) Chinese New Year's Eve wishes everyone a happy new year in advance. )
The first batch of immigrants from the Grey Feather Kingdom arrived in the Scarre Kingdom, and the Blood Crystal Beast Plague has been initially brought under control... This heralds the completion of the first phase of the mission of the Upper City Ship.
The mission of the second stage is to explore this world and find the leyline core of the Gray Feather Kingdom that has been corrupted by the Blood Crystal Beast.
Therefore, Lucheng also needs to send special scouts to infiltrate the Far Southern Empire to collect intelligence.
"Let's just raze the Far South Empire to the ground, but the benefits are too small."
Lu Cheng leaned on the side of the Shangcheng ship and looked at the endless coastline in the distance, in Lu Cheng's vision, as long as the Shangcheng ship was fully fired, the most powerful country on the Far South Continent would collapse in an instant.
But the rabbits are not war maniacs, and fighting for the sake of fighting is the most stupid behavior, and everything is about a profit.
There are many ways for the rabbits to control the Far South, and one of the more efficient methods is to secretly eradicate the upper nobles of the Far South, and then manage the ordinary commoners below.
If Far South didn't have the ability to control the Blood Crystal Beast, maybe Lu Cheng would try this method.
But if the Far Southern Empire is forced to rush and feeds its own leyline crystals to the Blood Crystal Beast, then the real gains outweigh the losses.
"The legendary 'I threaten you with my own life not to kill me'?" Lu Cheng really didn't expect this to happen.
Another thing that Lucheng finds tricky is... The cohesion of the Far South Empire was terrifyingly strong.
Unlike the seven clans of the Grey Feather Kingdom, the inhabitants of the Far South have a strong sense of honor, they are proud of being Far Southerners, and they are not willing to betray the loyalty of the Far South even if they die.
The way to maximize the benefits now is to gradually extradite the marginal populations from the Far South Empire, and then consider the next step after the immigration boom begins.
"Contractor, why do I feel like you see the Far Southern Empire as... A school of silverfish? ”
The seal reappeared at Lucheng's feet, and this time it had been secretly watching the ship's movements.
"A school of silver-scaled fish? What kind of fish is that? "Lucheng is used to this seal and the sudden appearance of the Crystal Spirit of Scarley.
"My children have a kind of food fish, and when it gets bigger, our children harvest it in a net and eat it." Seal said.
"That's what it means."
Lu Cheng crouched down in front of the seal, pressed his hand against its wet nose, and the seal's head instantly retracted like a turtle and turned into a ball.
"Contractor, can you fatten up and eat when you raise me?" The seal's retracted head poked out again.
"You didn't raise it to eat."
Lucheng opened a portal behind the seal.
"It's almost time to go back and see how the city of Scarre is doing."
………………
A month has not brought much change to the surface of the city of Scarre, but the interior of the city has been greatly transformed by the rabbits.
The most important part is that the functions of the city hall and the public security administration are fully online, the main person in charge of the registration and unified management of the city hall is responsible for the maintenance of order in the whole city.
General Hubert assumed the role of 'educator' and 'leader' of the Sheriff's Administration, although it was said that education... In fact, it is to listen to the various opinions given by the crystallized spirits, and select those young people who have righteousness in their hearts and are willing to sacrifice to Scarre.
There aren't many of these young people in Scalley today, but Hubert is very pleased with... He found some of the surviving soldiers, as well as five or six young men among the slaves who had the potential to be vigilantes.
What impressed General Hubert the most was the young man named Derek, who was the leader of the slave rebellion, and the old Scarley nobles would have sent him to the guillotine.
However, after Scalley's political system was reformed, Derek fulfilled his wish of 'coaching, I want to be a sheriff'.
This can be regarded as a different way for Derek to maintain the rights and interests of the people at the bottom.
Now, this mentally evolved Scarley has welcomed a new group of inhabitants, the half-elves who have arrived here from across the ocean.
"If it were the old Scarley, they would be arrested, right?"
Lu Cheng moved a chair and sat in the town hall, watching the half-elves line up to register.
"Arrested? Why? ”
Elena is also sitting next to Lu Cheng now, she was snatched back from the construction site by Lu Cheng, so now Elena is still wearing a hard hat on her head.
As the queen of Scarley, Elena should wear a crown to welcome her new people, but... Scalley's crown was shattered by Elena's pistol, so Elena's hard hat was left to make do with it for a while.
"Aliens, aliens, heretics, the old nobles of Scalley have many reasons to persecute this group." Lu Cheng pointed to his ear and said.
The pointed-eared features of the half-elves were left behind, and they were easily recognizable in the crowd, and the old nobles would not allow these aliens to shake the foundations of their rule, and the past Scarley would have taken them as slaves.
But when the rabbits come to this world, they will bring about change, and now there is no aristocracy in Scarre, only Elena, the queen of vases, but it is her sister Mera who really manages the municipal government.
Mera's power is constrained by both the Crystallized Spirits and the Rabbits, leaving the agent to make choices that are beneficial to all members of the Scarre.
"But they don't exist now, do they? Everyone in the royal city is doing well. Elena was very serious about maintaining her queenly posture on the side, and when some of the citizens in the town hall looked at her, she smiled and waved her hand, but unfortunately Elena was wearing a hard hat on her head.
"It can only be said that it is a reform with the characteristics of Scarley."
A few days ago, Lucheng had received a briefing from the sociologists in the camp about Scalley's reform, which began with 'an impossible political change.' ’
The success of this reform was based on three foundations, the first was that Scarre was very sparsely populated and the royal city had many spare buildings, the second was the existence of a surveillance system with the Crystal Spirit, which allowed crime to be stifled in the cradle, and the third was the assistance of the rabbits.
These three things have contributed to the fact that Scarley is now a very inclusive polity, and those half-elves can become members of Scarley after completing their identity registration and receiving their ID cards, and they will also be given a share of housing.
"Grant them citizenship of Scarley, Your Majesty." Lu Cheng poked Elena next to him with his elbow as she was smiling hard.
The first Dark Green Clan's half-elf had already registered his identity and had taken a photo to obtain a simple identification.
He was guided by the staff at the town hall to Elena and prepared to accept the seal of Scarley and truly become a member of Scarley.
"Welcome to be a citizen of Scarré, guests from afar."
Elena stood up and spoke to the first half-elf in the message that Lucheng had given her, but her tone was as stiff as ever, and the hard hat on her head gave her no queen's majesty.
The sigil representing Scarley poured into the body of the half-elf with the flickering of the holy crystal on the back of Elena's hand, and the half-elf accepted the mark very obediently, and an inverted triangle and diamond appeared on his palm, with a vertical horizontal line in the middle.
The moment the half-elf saw the pattern under the inverted triangle, he suddenly knelt down in front of Elena and wept bitterly.
"What's wrong? Road... Road City? Did I say something wrong? Elena panicked when she saw the weeping half-elf.
"It's rude."
Lu Cheng pulled open the sleeve of Elena's left hand, and the original inverted triangle mark on her white arm also added a diamond-shaped pattern.
This is the mark of the Grey Feather Kingdom.
The half-elves fled all the way to Scalley, where they were forced to be branded as foreigners, which would have been replaced by many negative emotions such as unease, pain, and so on.
The crystallized spirits of Koscarre have merged with those of the Greyfeather Kingdom.
The moment the half-elf saw the diamond pattern, he realized that he was still a citizen of the Grey Feather Kingdom.
Who would want to leave their homeland if they didn't help themselves?
Lu Cheng looked at the half-elf young man who cried bitterly, and felt that he should withdraw the sentence he had said before that the people of the Gray Feather Kingdom were all grass on the wall.
