Ryan just casually gave a few words about how the upcoming orcs would settle down, and Barbara didn't care too much about the meaning of it when she was young, but when Barbara informed Adams of this, the latter immediately realized the meaning of Ryan's few words, he was slightly stunned at first, and then he figured out something, and his mood immediately became excited, which made Adams rush out of his office very out of shape, and when his assistants were all startled, he didn't know why his boss who had always been serious would behave so differently today.

Adams' mind turned quickly, he first rushed to the practice field, called Vivien and Adra, then thought about it, turned another corner, pulled up Elendor, who was urging Gagor to practice, and then walked towards Ryan's private library in high spirits. When Adams and his party appeared in front of Ryan, they startled Ryan, who had just sent Red away, who thought that something big had happened to Cassano, otherwise why did everyone come?

After everyone was seated, without waiting for Ryan to ask everyone's intentions, Adams first repeated what Barbara had conveyed just now, Ryan nodded patiently after listening, admitting that this was what he meant, and Adams forced himself to speak with excitement: "Ryan, do you really plan to accept outsiders? And it's permanent?"

Ryan wondered why Adams was so excited, and he said in an understated tone, "It doesn't seem like a problem, do I? Am I not an outsider too?" ”

"Of course I understand what you mean, but do you know what Cassano is in the minds of the humans of the entire continent right now?" Adams asked rhetorically.

Ryan shook his head, he really cared very little about such rumors, and it was not surprising that he was not clear.

"Now that Senate is having an affair with the Legion of the Dead, many parts of his ruling area are already uninhabited for hundreds of miles, so naturally there is no need to mention it. The prairies had just been warped, and the natives of the Clay had either fled or become semi-appendages living under the rule of the imperial capital, and they were not even free to choose their way of life and region. Adams sighed slightly, thinking that it was fortunate that he was a Cassano and not a Clay, otherwise that tragic fate would have befallen him.

"Next up is Mochizuki City, a city with a particularly long history, which has formed its own unique atmosphere, which is why it has the reputation of the magic capital. Unfortunately, the centuries-old magic families value tradition too much, and they despise all new things, which has caused the entire city to slowly decline. Adams just nodded a few words, after all, Mochizuki City and Iron Fist Castle are allies now, and Ryan's subordinates even have the pair of sister students, and talking too much will inevitably make others lose face.

"Paradise of Freedom, what a great name that sounds, Capital of Freedom? Haha, that's one of the funniest jokes. Adams said in a more contemptuous tone: "This is a city full of stench, and its only rule of conduct is money. With money comes the power to do whatever you want in the city. Although this may sound fair, it is not the case, because when a great deal of wealth is gathered in the hands of a few, the so-called axiomatic morality becomes a stone in the stinking ditch, everyone knows that it exists, but no one wants to let themselves stink all over their bodies in order to touch it. ”

"I've been there several times, and I think it's very good. Ryan knew Adams was right, but he said he did his best to hear some good news from Adams.

"Yes, on the surface, or in your position, the emperor is wonderful. Adams ignored Ryan's face and pointed out sharply: "The area controlled by the imperial capital is indeed very large, but many places are just hills or deserts, and the area that can really be inhabited is only two-thirds of the actual control of the imperial capital, and the arable land and pastures that feed the nearly 20 million people of the imperial capital must be removed." In this way, in fact, there are not many areas where the people of the imperial capital can really live. The slums in the Imperial Capital City are the best portrayal! And you, Master Lane, I'm afraid that there are very few opportunities to come into contact with the slums, right?"

"Well, what the hell are you trying to say? Ryan smiled bitterly at Adams's words, because what the other party said was the truth, although he Ryan went to the imperial capital many times, but except for walking through the streets and alleys during the defense of the imperial capital, there was only one time when he really went deep into the slums, that is, the time when he followed Josa stealthily. In that case, it was unlikely that Ryan would be in the mood to slowly appreciate what the slums were all about.

"Actually, that's what I'm trying to say. Adams shrugged his shoulders and continued: "There are only a few forces on the entire continent now, and each of them has its own weakness, and this weakness is almost impossible to change, only slightly mitigated. Is it possible for the imperial capital to turn so many farmers gathered together into free people? Then the tens of millions of people in the imperial capital are afraid that they will run out of food the next year! Is it possible for Mochizuki City to change its traditions? Is it still the capital of magic? The source of its existence is gold coins, without which the city would collapse into a pile of ruins. ”

"Only Cassano can. Because Cassano is the pillar of you!" Adams said impassionedly: "The city is new, full of energy, everything is driven by your will, and as long as your mind is not confused, the city is sheltered and thrived under your wings." Adams said, "But Cassano's population alone can't support the rapid growth of a megacity, so your treatment of orcs will be a model for the city's future development, which is why I take it so seriously." ”

"Since you have made the move to officially accept orcs, does this mean that Cassano has begun to open its arms to the entire continent? Since orcs can join Cassano's mercenary group or become a member of Cassano Sheriff's Office, is it possible for them to join the army? Can they set up their own chamber of commerce? Can they learn from human ways of farming, can they have their own farmland? Ranch? If so, how do you define the difference between Cassano and outsiders?"

Ryan nodded solemnly, he was originally just a very vague idea, but after Adams said this, he also fully realized the importance of this matter, Ryan thought for a moment, looked up and said to Adams: "I don't think that humans are greater and nobler than orcs, and I don't think that humans must enslave other races, since we can be allies with dwarves and elves, then we can also be friends with other races, such as these naturalized orcs." If the orcs still live by raiding humans for a living, then they are our mortal enemies, and once the orcs decide to live their lives according to the human way of life, then they also have the qualifications to become friends of humans, we might as well call them naturalized orcs, although this title is a little unpleasant. ”

"Since orcs can also be a part of Cassano, then humans, elves or dwarves can also, and even all races, who are willing to obey the laws of the Empire and Cassano and rely on their own efforts to support themselves, then they can all become members of the future Cassano. However, this process is not achieved overnight, it requires a certain amount of effort. As an outsider, you must learn to try to integrate into the city, and this time cannot be less than 5 years. We can use the time when he started paying taxes as proof of calculation. I remember that the inhabitants of Cassano enjoyed the lowest taxes in the mainland, while these outsiders who wished to join Cassano did not have this right, and they had to work more than the real Cassanos, such as paying 25% more taxes per year, and then decreasing 5% per year, and after 5 years they became official Cassano people, enjoying the same legal protection as other Cassanos. Of course, this process is not without shortcuts, such as joining Cassano's army, if they can establish merit, they can naturally reduce the time of this examination accordingly. ”

"Of course, it's up to you to define these things, and I'm sure you can come up with a more reasonable approach. Ryan very unkindly pushed the matter on Adams, then smiled embarrassedly at the latter, and continued: "Of course, it is not only money to obtain this qualification, we have to make everyone understand one thing, the Cassano people pay taxes, not for their lord's pleasure, but to build and protect the territory here. I think Cassano might eventually become a megacity, with Tekken Castle at its center and multiple outlying small cities or settlements, not just by me, but by everyone. ”

"Anyone who has put in his own efforts in this process, he is qualified to become a Cassano person, enjoy the fruits of his efforts, and also fight bloodily to fight against those guys who have other plans, in short, Cassano is everyone's Cassano, not a person's personal favorite, and I also hope that in the end this can become a city full of vitality, there is not too much unfairness, there are not too many differences between nobles and commoners, there is not too much discrimination, everyone who lives here can freely choose their own life under the premise of abiding by Cassano laws。 When the foreign enemy comes, we don't need to mobilize loudly, everyone has already clenched their weapons and stood on the battlefield to resist the invasion, because they are fighting to surround their homeland, not for the damn lord who has never seen before!"
