Chapter 670: Black and White [First Update]
"Young master, three bishops have just come over and want me to abolish the abolition of the household registration of the poor." At dinner time, Barton came to the temple and spoke to Dudian, who was eating.
Du Dian said while eating: "What do you think? ”
Barton was slightly stunned and whispered: "I think the young master should have another purpose in doing this, but in my opinion, we must appease them as soon as possible, otherwise, the outer wall area will be in chaos." ”
"You know better than anyone else about the lives of the poor, don't you want it to come true?" Dudian didn't raise his head and said authentically.
Barton smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, I hope that the poor people will no longer be oppressed, but to be honest, it is really not cost-effective to offend others for the sake of these poor people, even if all the poor people are grateful to us for this, for us, it is only grateful, but the nobles and commoners control the land and farms, as well as other high-end resources, if they resist, it is really a bit dangerous." ”
"These are the words that the three bishops told you, right?" Dudian said casually.
Barton blushed a little, "They said something, and I think it's right, and I think so myself." ”
Du Dian silently put down his homemade chopsticks, looked at him quietly, and said, "You see, even you are not willing to help these people, who else is willing to help them?" It is precisely because no one has changed this status quo that such a deformed status quo has always existed, and existence is reasonable, this sentence is bullshit! If you were to go back to the slums and continue your life, would you still think what the three bishops said was right? ”
Barton was stunned, and after a while hesitated, "But, this ...... us"
"Before the nobles could jump their feet, these bishops jumped up, saying benevolence on weekdays, but they were the first to stand up against benevolence at critical times." Du Dian said coldly: "If there is anyone in the Holy See who advises you to do this, deal with it immediately!" ”
Seeing that he was angry, Barton bowed his head and said, "I see." ”
After Barton left, Noyce saw that Dudian's anger had subsided, and said in a low voice: "Young master, don't be angry, these people in the Holy See are above board, spreading the faith of God and loving all sentient beings, but you also know that this is just fooling the common people, and if it really affects the rice bowl in their hands, their ugly faces will be exposed, and no one will hesitate." ”
Du Dian said coldly: "Because of this, it is necessary to rectify!" ”
Noyce was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.
Dudian continued: "Why did the monastery set up the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness, the purpose is that one does bad things, the other does good things, and the thief catches the thief!" If the Holy See of Light has become the same as the Holy See of Darkness, then why is there any need for it to exist? There are enough people who do bad things for us, but there are fewer and fewer people who do good things for us. What else is necessary? ”
Noyce came to his senses, secretly ashamed in his heart, admiring Dudian's vision.
"The people will trust the Holy See because of the dark cultists, and some knights in the Holy See have killed the enemy bravely, and have exchanged blood and sacrifice for the trust of the people! If one day the people think that the Holy See of Light is not much different from the Holy See of Darkness, that they are both vampires, then what should be used to govern them? By force and deterrence alone? Dudian snorted coldly and said, "Where Richelieu failed, he failed to manage the Dark Holy See and the Light Holy See at the same time for a long time, confusing the two places, making the white one cloudy, and the black one not black enough, causing the two swords to become mutilated, so it failed!" ”
"Why don't some nobles or military officials believe in the God of Light? It's because they have had a lot of contact, they have seen it thoroughly, and they know that they are all fighting for their own interests, so they won't believe in this bird god. Du Dian said: "If the Holy See is pure, there will be no military headquarters and inquisition in the outer wall area, but unfortunately, these two swords, Richelieu did not use them well, and only knew that with the help of the dark cultists to promote the power and sacredness of the Holy See of Light, but he did not know that the interior of any powerful enough force would breed corruption after all!" ”
"And some discerning people can see corruption at a glance, and they won't believe it, just like if you see an apple that is rotten inside, will you still eat it, no."
Noyes kept nodding, surrendered happily, and said, "Young Master, I have been taught." ”
Du Dian finished eating the delicacies on the plate, poured out a small glass of white wine from the white porcelain bottle next to him and drank it, feeling a trace of warmth in his stomach, the cold air on his body and the cold feeling in his left hand were also dispelled a lot, and his mood became slightly better.
This liquor was made by him, and it is unique in the entire outer wall area, and it is not sold to the public. Everyone else here likes to drink red wine, and the pungent smell of white wine is unbearable and can't swallow it, but he likes to drink it.
However, he didn't dare to drink too much every time, and he needed to keep his head clear at all times, as long as he drank until the cold in his body subsided a little.
As the night went on, Dudian rummaged through the superchip in his room, absorbing knowledge from it. Helissa sat quietly beside him, without a sound, like a virtuous wife.
When Dudian read that he was tired, he looked back at her, and felt that his fatigue had subsided considerably.
At the same time, in the bustling business district outside Utuo Mountain, the lights are bright, the densely populated business district is full of people, and the relaxed and lively nightlife begins, and horse-drawn carriages with aristocratic flags come and go in some high-end establishments.
And in the homes of these nobles, some of the heads of the families frowned and could not sleep.
The night will pass and the dawn will come.
In the midst of all kinds of impatience, anger, and unwillingness, the nobles of the business district received the morning newspaper from the Holy See and the Military Department today, and the content on the front page was almost the same.
When they saw what was on it, everyone froze.
If yesterday's news of the "abolition of the household registration of the poor" was a bomb, then today's message is equivalent to a thunderstorm!
First of all, the Holy See and the Ministry of War affirmed that the plan for abolishing the household registration of the poor will remain unchanged, and that all poor people can apply to leave the slums and live in civilian areas, but they need to follow the rules of civilian areas, they need to pay basic taxes, they cannot sleep on the streets, they must sleep in houses, they cannot be naked in the streets, etc. All the poor people who enter the civilian area can apply for a house and a job offer from the military department, but they need to pay rent and salary tax to the military department every month......
In addition to a series of policies against the ghetto, the real thunder was the news against the nobility and commoners.
First of all, all commoners will have the opportunity to apply to become a nobleman, and they only need to meet the corresponding conditions to change to a noble household registration!
The nobles, on the other hand, can apply to enter the inner wall area and obtain the title of nobleman!
