Chapter 125: The Ruled (Part II)
Lord Marbury was charged with homicide, unlawful possession, illegal child labor, and other crimes, and he faces 1,300 years in prison without the possibility of parole. As for his boss, Viscount Bilima, he had fled back to the hinterland of Iseras in disgrace after the defeat of the local fleet and the combined fleet of nobles a few days earlier.
Under the auspices of Berwick officials, the interim government of Berwick elected a large number of middle and low-level officials, who will focus on studying Berwick's relevant laws and regulations and government affairs training while taking office.
Builders from the Republic of Berwick, with the assistance of the government, began a large-scale clean-up of the city. Berwick had very few specialized engineering troops, and they all had to act with the main fleet, and the development of the planet's cleanup was contracted to merchants. Merchants used transport ships to bring in machinery and engineering mechs and building materials from the country, cleaned up the old city, demolished illegal and potential safety buildings, and began to build skyscrapers one after another.
In this day and age, it is not difficult to build a high-rise building with hundreds of floors. The main body of the building is built using building materials shipped from China, and other materials can be taken locally from other planets and asteroids in the local or nearby area, plus high-performance engineering mechs and construction equipment, and a skyscraper can be built in less than a month.
Millie and her grandfather are still living in the village, and they will not be able to move there until a new building is built in Kirk City. At that time, they can live in spacious and bright buildings, do not need to be outside every day in the wind and rain, and Xiao Li can enroll for free under the national policy of 16 years of compulsory education. And after his grandfather soaked in the nutrition module on the spaceship for a day, the diseases in his body were completely eliminated and his health was restored. He will work as an elementary school teacher in the newly established school, and although the salary is not very high, it is enough to provide food, clothing and shelter for the two of them, and save some money.
Whether it's for the grandchildren of Millie, or for the rest of the village, or for the poor people of the entire planet, these days they are living in a dream, and there is a feeling of unreality. Due to the previous information jam, they had no idea what kind of country Berwick was. But most people still have the impression of the Zhao and Song Empires, although that humble and polite country has been destroyed more than twenty years ago, but these people who are also as polite as gentlemen are not the same as them?
At least, they didn't burn and loot like the hellish mobs they did eight years ago.
After accepting the food, high-energy blocks, and large amounts of daily necessities they brought, the people on Lawrence gradually accepted them. There was not much resistance to the Berwicks.
However, most of the nobles, bullies, lackeys, etc., who remained on the planet and did not leave in time, were unwilling to be judged by the Berwicks. They fled with weapons, and the underground systems of cities, mountains, and oceans were all places where they hid. Perhaps, they are still waiting for the mighty Iseras to return after defeating Berwick.
In the spaceship, Lan Tian is visiting with a curious Millie.
"This is a passenger and cargo spacecraft, which belongs to the logistics department of the republic, and was built only the year before last......"
Whether Xiao Li understood it or not, he introduced it to her with a warm smile.
Seeing the little girl's eyes widen in surprise, and asking from time to time what those things in the spaceship do, Lan Tian felt a little bitter. In this interstellar age, there are still people who have not seen a spaceship, which has to be said to be a sadness. Even in backward places like Alta, poor people can join the pirate fleet and gallop the stars as long as they are successful in cultivating the arts. However, in these planets of Iseras, the nobles who ruled the planet may have been afraid of the rebellion of the people under their rule, so they confiscated most of the martial arts exercises on the market, so that people could only practice those rubbish and even mutilated exercises.
Even if those exercises are cultivated for super geniuses, I am afraid that after thirty or forty years of cultivation, it will be difficult to reach the level of the fourth or fifth level of the day after tomorrow.
As the head of the empire, it was of course impossible for Zagu to do this, and if he did not have a huge martial arts base, it would be difficult for him to select qualified soldiers and cultivate excellent people. The children of those nobles can practice excellent exercises, and with the help of medicine, they will be able to become human beings when they grow up. But what about ordinary people? But because of the lack of martial arts cultivation, he can only succumb to the bottom of society.
The current interstellar countries are all vigorously cultivating talents. After every child goes to school, martial arts cultivation is an extremely important course. The average level of martial arts cultivation of the whole people represents the overall quality of the country. Without a large number of mid-level martial artists (level 3 to 6 of the day after tomorrow), it is impossible to control a large number of agricultural mecha and engineering mechas, which greatly hinders the prosperity of a country.
Zagu also hoped that the quality of the people would improve, but he was not a qualified political leader.
From the outset, his policy of fostering a large number of nobles was wrong. In order to maintain their rule, the nobles did not hesitate to cut off the cultivation of ordinary people. This may have been something that Zagu had never imagined from the beginning, and it was doomed to his tragic end.
Now, however, Berwick has reoccupied these planets, judging the aristocracy and maintaining social order. Gradually, when children can go to school, their quality will gradually improve. It is inevitable that a large number of outstanding talents and highly talented children will be selected from them.
Curious and happy, Xiao Li followed the handsome uncle around the spaceship. But she didn't understand why the uncle was so busy. Almost every few minutes, he would receive communications and say a whole bunch of things he didn't understand.
"Uncle, you seem to be very busy." Millie tilted her head to look at him.
Lan Tian smiled and stroked her silky hair. Now Xiao Li is no longer that dirty appearance, after cleaning and changing into a set of clean and tidy children's dresses, she is very beautiful, like an angel who has landed in the mortal world. Every Berwick who works here these days is very fond of her.
"In this country, on many planets, there are many more children like Miley waiting for their uncle to help them."
Lan Tian said, and couldn't help but sigh.
He had only arrived on one of the planets, and these days, through the network of celestial news hastily set up on Lawrence, he learned that most of the planets that had been taken from Isseras were poor, closed, and backward like Lawrence. It takes not only a lot of money but also a lot of time to get these planets back up and down to normal. I'm afraid it will take at least five or six years to reach the level of a low-level developed planet. It would take at least a decade to reach Berwick's average level of development before the war.
After all, when Berwick was founded, their planet was not in the midst of war. And now these planets have been destroyed by the nobles of Isseras, and they are almost returning to primitive society.
"Bastard who deserves hell......"
He couldn't help cursing, looked down and saw that Xiao Li was looking at him, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Let's go, take you to lunch." ”
"Uncle, will I help you when I grow up? That way you won't have to work too hard. ”
Lan Tian smiled: "Okay." But if you want to help me, you have to learn a lot of knowledge, including martial arts, politics, economics, trade, society, etc., it will be very hard, can you endure so much hardship? ”
Xiao Li nodded solemnly and resolutely: "I will definitely be able to!" My uncle saved me and my grandfather and so many others, I will definitely study hard and repay my uncle. ”
"Remember, it's not me who saved you, nor these soldiers, but the Zhao Song Empire!"
"Oh......" Although Xiao Li didn't understand, she still said happily: "I remember, it's the Zhao Song Empire." ”
Lan Tian smiled, and was holding Xiao Li's hand and walking towards the restaurant, but before he could take two steps, the communicator rang.
Smiled apologetically at the little girl beside him, and Lan Tian turned on the communicator.
"Military command? Could it be that a decisive battle has already begun on the front line? ”
Lan Tian was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned on the communicator.
"Hello, I'm Blue Sky."
"Hello, Vice President. Due to the emergency, for your safety, please evacuate Lawrence immediately and return to China from the north. ”
Lan Tian's face changed slightly: "Did something happen?" ”
The officer over there also looked very ugly: "A few minutes ago, two fleets of Meenlan sailed into the starry sky near the planet we occupied, claiming that those planets belonged to Meenlan, and had begun to expel our merchants and officials. For your safety, so ......"
"Bastard Maynland."
Turning off the communicator, Lan Tian couldn't help but scold: "These planets were obviously ceded to Iseras by them, and now they are occupied by us, and they are no longer theirs." These wolf-hearted things would have been wiped out long ago if we hadn't pinned down Iserath's army on the border and captured Zagu in the last war. Unexpectedly, these bastards actually jumped out at this time......"
