Chapter 281: Precursor: Celebration
The reception of the nezumi refugees was carried out in conjunction with the celebrations, and after a hard-fought battle, the battle against the Grey Mist invaders ended in a complete victory for the Emirate, which also came at a great cost, and a grand parade and celebration was necessary to lift people's hearts.
As for how the ritual is carried out, the white wolf has not come up with an exact way after thinking about it, the goblin has its own goblin culture, although he has lived with these creatures for a long time, but he is a human after all, and he still has some ignorance of those cultures between goblins, and finally decided that each region will prepare for the celebration by itself, and the white wolf's only arrangement is to organize a military parade, and let these teams parade around the country.
"Let everyone plan the celebration on their own, not to say that you can do anything, but still to follow a certain tone, to highlight the following points, one is patriotism, tell all the goblins that this is their country, the second is to talk about civilization, don't do anything beyond the lower limit, the third is to be orderly, when the celebration is going on, no one can die. The white wolf made a request for the celebration to the passer-by C, who was in charge of the matter.
Hearing this, passer-by C instantly frowned, if you want to implement these three requirements, it is more difficult than the other.
"The first two can be done more or less, but.... We don't have enough people to maintain order, and this last requirement will be difficult to fulfill. Passerby thought for a while and voiced his doubts.
"Well, I'll give you a list of veterans later, and you can recruit them as a standby force, remember, it's recruitment, not drafting, it's to be paid to them, at least definitely not less than a day's pay for a day's work for an average police officer. ”
"I understand this, the policeman's salary for one day is three days' rations, as long as the agricultural department can take it, I will guarantee that they can be sent to the veterans, and whoever dares to deduct it will be expelled immediately!" passer-by C patted his chest and promised.
Seeing the appearance of passer-by C's swear, the white wolf suddenly felt that something was wrong, not that passer-by C was wrong, but that there was a problem with his policy, goblins were very greedy when they should be greedy, things like grain would definitely be stolen, workers did not get paid, they must report the boss for arrears, and what will happen to the veterans... That is not necessarily, and when the time comes, there will be some social problems if it is not guaranteed.
But the money still has to be given, after all, these soldiers have been discharged, and the white wolf has no reason to invite them to come out and work for free.
"I'll talk to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture about it, but don't expect too much, the rations that can be provided can probably recruit about 2,000 veterans, and you just have to keep the numbers within that range. ”
"Two thousand.... Isn't there too little. Passerby C hesitated, then asked.
"No way, food is very precious now, let's make do with it first, if it really doesn't work, we can make the scale of the celebration a little smaller, so that we can also send fewer people. The white wolf replied.
"Then I'll go to work. Passerby C said that he had no other problems and wanted to leave.
"There you go. The white wolf nodded.
So passer-by C left, looking at his back, the white wolf suddenly felt that this matter was a correct choice for the goblins to do their own things, and they could fully mobilize their subjective initiative by planning it themselves, so that ordinary goblins were no longer just spectators, but real participants, and they would definitely have a deeper feeling for the merits of the army and the significance of the country.
So the first celebration since the establishment of the emirate began to be planned in full swing, and in the process of planning, the white wolf got the news that some veterans actually volunteered to participate in such an event, and were willing to maintain law and order free of charge during the celebration.
There are still a lot of veterans with such a vision, after the white wolf learned the news, he was quite surprised at first, and then he was puzzled, and in the end it dawned on him, he found that he could not accurately understand the mood of these veterans, for them, this celebration is for them, these soldiers are eager for their merits to be recognized by everyone, eager to receive honor and praise, so from their hearts, they naturally hope that this celebration will be as big as possible, and the bigger it is, the more satisfied they will be.
"In this way, the veterans you recruited before will still pay them according to the quota they have set, and then if someone is willing to help without pay, then let them volunteer. The white wolf said to passer-by.
"Why don't you just announce that you won't give them food, so that you can save a fortune. The passer-by asked puzzled, after the last famine, he deeply felt how important food was.
"Compared with a little food, I think authority and credibility are more important, what has been said is equivalent to spilled water, even if it is wrong, it cannot be recovered, what we need to do is to correct it as soon as possible, and at the same time maintain our credibility. The white wolf replied.
"Then the rest of the people will probably think it's not fair. Passerby C said worriedly.
"If you work more and get more, you can let those who have a salary go to the most difficult positions, arrange more jobs for them, and see that they have done more than twice as much work as others, and no one will gossip, and you should get some wages. ”
"Oh, I can't believe there could be such a way. Passerby C suddenly realized.
....
After a month of planning, the festivities finally took place, and the large group of nezumi people had arrived in the emirate just before the festivities began, so they were lucky enough to get a glimpse of what the festivities were like.
On the path of the parade, there are slogans with white characters on a red background almost everywhere, because they are written in Chinese characters, the rats do not understand what is written on them, but they feel that this kind of writing is quite complicated, and the white characters on a red background are also very visually impactful.
There is a group of goblins paraded through the streets holding the emblem of the Rune Sect, they are the priests of the Rune Sect, wearing mysterious religious robes, giving a sense of ritual.
If the crergy gave the Nezumi a mysterious, then the large group of soldiers with loaded guns and scarlets strapped to their bodies followed by them could only terrify the Nezumi, whose neat steps, their heavy armor, their strength and their unwavering stride proclaimed that they would destroy all obstacles in front of them, and all those who were their enemies.
What frightened the rat people even more was the fanatical people on both sides of the procession, these ordinary goblins were like crazy, they kept yelling at the procession, there were some people shouting slogans in the crowd, he shouted, and the people around him would shout a word, the whole underground world was full of slogans and cheers, the cave walls reflected these sounds, and their echoes back and forth, making the parade extremely noisy all around, and even the surrounding walls were vibrating, and the rats even had the illusion that this place was going to collapse, and they were frightened by this fanatical sight。
Some goblins kneel on the ground and cheer, while others bring their children to the celebration, and whenever the rune procession passes, they even hold up their children to the procession, as if asking for the protection of the rune god.
In fact, not to mention the nezumi, even many goblins have never seen such a scene, for those people of the Rune Sect and the army, their vanity and self-esteem are undoubtedly greatly satisfied, seeing that with so many people supporting them, the hardships they have experienced before, the choice between life and death is not so important. The imbalance that had accumulated before because the white wolf forced them to work was finally released at this moment, and finally devoted themselves to the celebration, listening to those cheers, they felt that they had become one with the surrounding goblins, the difference between the tribes became extremely thin at this moment, and the rest was the feeling of family and country, many priests only really understood what the country in the white wolf's mouth was at this moment, it was a big family, a big family composed of all the goblins.
The priests who understood this found that they couldn't suppress their excitement at all, and involuntarily shouted the slogan long live the white wolf, they knew that without the white wolf, the emirate would not have come to this point, and they would not have seen such a spectacular scene, and there would be no bright future, and the old three kingdoms would be shackled to a thousand pounds, forever on the heads of all the goblins, and many priests found that their tears were involuntarily flowing down.
The priests and soldiers, who were not able to take part in the procession, looked with envy at the middle of the procession, and if they could find their acquaintances in it, they would be excited for a while, and it was their common glory.
"I really didn't expect that ordinary people would support us so much. Passerby C sighed when he heard the details of the procession, this victory celebration was held at the same time in the original three kingdoms, and the priests and soldiers were warmly welcomed by the people in any region, and the grudges accumulated from the years of war between the three kingdoms seemed to have been washed away by this celebration.
"Let's hope this celebration ends smoothly. Passerby C couldn't help but pray to the god of runes, the celebration had gone well so far, but the next thing was the main thing, and with more marching troops, the police would definitely be stretched to an incredible level.
"Prepare to dispatch the veterans' reserves. After the prayer was over, passerby C turned his head and calmly said to the goblin lieutenant beside him. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
