There is a term in the West called "Potemkin Village".

Historically, Potemkin was the tsar's general, however, more famous than his martial arts, he was the ** of the female Tsarine Catherine II.

Among the many ** of the female Tsarine Catherine, he is the most outstanding one - because he is very wise to recommend only men who are far inferior to himself to be the new ** of Her Majesty the Empress**.

In this way, after comparing the new and the old, the female tsar will always favor him again.

At the cost of reducing the quality of the Empress's backyard, he managed to maintain his position at the Empress's court, and of course, to maintain his glory and wealth for a long time, and even further, he did not devote all his attention to fighting with people of the same sex - he went to the front not only in wartime, but also in peacetime

There were just as many ideas - when the Empress was on her way, he was so deceitful that in a short time he artificially created many seemingly prosperous villages, in order to win the praise of Her Majesty the Empress for his good governance.

These villages, which were made for the bosses to see, were called "Potemkin villages" and became adjectives for deception and whitewashing.

Potemkin Village evolved many genres and skills in later generations, which together may be enough to write a book of illusions: The Book of a Thousand Laws: The Complete Book of Illusions:

There is a paint painting school, whose representative work is to paint the barren mountains with green paint;

There is the set school, whose representative work is to force the shops along the street to add a layer of "face engineering" with only one wall along the street to the bungalows, disguising the bungalows as buildings;

When a European country held a convention, it pasted colored paper with goods and shelves on the windows along the street, pretending that business was prosperous and the economy was prosperous......

Wait, wait.

And what Luo Yi wants to implement now is to "plan the gold plan against the waves".

To put it simply, it's - pretend to be poor!

Just do it.

First of all, the bishops convened a council to announce to the representatives of the guilds, the citizens, and the women's union the great news that the papal envoy had come to collect the taxes.

Subsequently, the Council of Citizens unanimously approved that in order to commemorate the patron saints of the city, the collective remembers the bittersweet and the bitter and sweet, and to resume the life of eating twice a day and observing fasts before the limelight has passed, and the bishop assures them that everything will continue as usual when the plague passes.

After the town council, everyone rushed to their posts, and the whole of Tournest was busy like a frightened honeycomb.

O'Henry, a famous short story writer in the world, has a novel called "The God of Wealth and Eros", the story is about a nouveau riche son who falls in love with a girl, but only has six to eight minutes to accompany her to the theater.

He decided to do something.

When the young man sent the girl to the theater, he encountered an unprecedented traffic jam, and the mail cars, horse-drawn carriages, wagons, and automobiles crowded the road, which won the young man two hours of time to make him confess.

"Mail and horse-drawn carriages mostly pay five dollars, but trucks and two-horse carriages are raised to ten dollars. The driver of the car costs ten dollars, and the full load is twenty dollars. The police knocked the hardest, fifty dollars per person. What a show, Mr. Rockwell? Luckily, William A. Brady (famous Broadway director) didn't

There was a scene of vehicles coming to the outdoors, and I didn't want William to be heartbroken with jealousy. There was no rehearsal at all! The guys arrived at the scene on time and not a second was missing. For two hours, it was so jammed that not even a single snake could get under the statue of Greeley. ”

Now, Tournest is running at high speed with the same dynamics.

As soon as the factory bell rang, all the workers who were not in the blast furnace and other unstoppable posts lined up and pulled out, each with a black armband of "chengguan" (a member of the Urban Construction and Integrated Management Office), and began to busily renovate the whole city.

Truckloads of manure are brought in from the manure and dumped throughout the streets of Tournest and inside and outside the city walls, leaving everyone who walks by - they are accustomed to the cleanliness of the city.

The chengguan have done more than that.

They warned pedestrians along the road who were not dressed according to the new rules, asking them not to take a bath, not to wash their hands, well, not to wash their faces.

In order to prevent anyone from inadvertently making a mistake, all but one of the wells in the city were sealed.

The only open well was also closely guarded, and each household in the city was limited to one pot of water per day, and two pots for workshops that needed water.

All residents were told that they should not go out with less than three patches of clothing, and of course, if there were three holes, it would be even better.

Cutlery - chopsticks and everything, all locked in the box.

Everyone temporarily resumed eating with their hands.

Public toilets were closed and the main street was restored to public toilets.

The butcher's shop was closed and everyone began to fast. Wearing red armbands of "people's management", the aunts of the Citizen Management Section of the city council went door-to-door to search for alcohol, meat, and other contraband during the Lent period, causing a lot of trouble and everyone was uneasy.

Except for a few conflicts between the urban management, the people's management, and the citizens, these works have been generally smooth.

What didn't go well was something that wasn't expected in advance.

Tim reports to his mistress that there are few beggars in a poor city, which is also ridiculous.

Where did the beggars go? Oh, and there is a shortage of labor in the factory......

As a result, some of the workers were told that they were going to return to their previous jobs, gathering in front of churches to become beggars.

They are very unhappy about this.

Because their old clothes have long since become rags.

And gathered in overalls at the door of the church......

It doesn't look like a beggar!

If any traveler crossed to the door of the church at this time, they would definitely think that there was a medieval strike.

For example, if the general strike is still secondary—after all, the envoy and his men don't know what a strike is—the important thing is that if they are given the same kind of alms as before, the kind of grucid gruel, their reaction is probably like that of the female silk factory workers in the late Qing Dynasty who were notified by the magistrate that they could not go to work and receive wages, and that they had to go home to work as day laborers and play house fights with their mother-in-law and sister-in-law: "Where is this the life of a man!" ”

They are not the only ones who are in trouble like this.

The hospital reported that several people had diarrhea after resuming drinking raw water due to their habit of boiling water, and three women in labor resolutely refused to accept the suggestion to give birth at home.

Receiving a report that flew like snowflakes, the Great Demon King was dumbfounded: "...... What can I do? ”

"Cold salad." The bishop replied angrily that in order to successfully pretend to be poor, he was "leading by example" to lose weight urgently, reciting prayers while running, and praying all night long: "I just said that this plan will not work, and we should think about what it is better to set fire, olive oil is too expensive." ”
