Chapter 62: Illiteracy (2nd Watch)

At this time, there was a mess in the city of Daleshire, and I don't know who shouted: "The baron burned the prison, released the villains, and went to Walter to settle accounts!"

"The baron doesn't want us to live, and we don't want him to have a good time!"

"Lord Viscount has ordered Walter to be arrested, everyone go and help!"

The people who were already nervous by the loud noise and rumors suddenly found a vent, and the day of demonstrations and demonstrations made everyone feel full of confidence, and when they saw one person pick up a weapon, they followed suit and ran towards the baron's palace.

But when they came to the Baron's Mansion and looked at the soldiers with bows and crossbows on the wall of the Baron's Palace, everyone did not dare to move forward for a while, and at this moment, there was a commotion behind the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look at it, and they were shocked.

I saw a dense crowd of people coming from behind, these people were thinly dressed, most of them were skinny, but the eyes that were full of tears, those eyes full of hatred and despair, made everyone frightened.

"It's... These are the people of the slums!" someone recognized.

Among these people were old people, children, and people with strength, who held simple wooden sticks in their hands, and children and old people with little strength held branches that they had picked up from nowhere, and a sense of desolation instantly filled everyone's hearts......

"Theyβ€”" Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in a daze.

"Walter burned down the slums, and these poor people have no home!"

"Such a vicious baron, even these poor people will not be spared!" "Damn it, damned baron!"

"Damn the Baron!" "Kill the Baron!"

The sight of the people in the slum deeply stimulated everyone's nerves and aroused the anger in everyone's hearts, and I don't know who threw a stone at the wall of the baron's palace, and then torches, sticks, and masonry were thrown out one after another.

At most, there are more than a thousand people standing on the wall outside the Baron's Palace, how can it be compared to the tens of thousands of people below, the weapons thrown are overwhelming, and a hundred and ten people will be seriously injured and fall to the ground in a wave!

Seeing this, the private soldiers of the Baron's Court dared to stay on the wall, and they ran down one after another, and Charles, who had been in the crowd, saw this, and immediately beckoned his men, and after a while, the crowd dispersed, and saw more than 20 people carrying a two-bucket-thick tree trunk to the door of the Baron's Palace.

"Everyone help!" Charles drew his weapon and stood in front of the crowd: "Lord Viscount has an order, whoever catches Walter will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

Under the lure of the high bounty, the already angry crowd went crazy for a while.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The sound of tree trunks banging on the gate kept coming, until after a loud bang, the gate collapsed, and a dense crowd poured into the Baron's Palace...

Not far from the Baron's Palace, on the roof of a towering building, Creman, Owen and Rogge stood on it, looking down at the scene in front of them.

Kliman almost never stepped out of the door since his condition worsened, and the severe pain on his body made Kliman tremble and sweat all over, but even so, it was difficult to hide his excitement, consternation, and even fear.

It was only at this moment that Kliman intuitively felt the horror of the civilians, and asked in a trembling voice: "This is the power of the people?!"

"Yes, my lord!" Looking at Kliman's performance, Rogge nodded secretly, if it wasn't for the situation, attacking the Baron's Palace was only secondary, the main purpose was to let Kliman see this scene, and Rogge took great pains to do so!

The first time I talked to Kliman, Rogge knew that Kliman was an out-and-out aristocrat, and his thoughts, style, and cognition all carried the decadent and short-sighted cognition of the aristocracy.

In Rogge's view, people who really think about the people have a deep understanding of the suffering of the common people, a deep understanding of the needs of the common people, and more importantly, a deep belief in and a deep understanding of the power of the common people! Only in this way can they truly take the Lord and do things for the people!

I don't expect this viscount to focus on the people, but at least he has to do things for the people, after this incident, I am afraid that the scene in front of him will be engraved in Kliman's mind, waking Kleeman all the time, and as long as Kleeman is not a fool, he will never abide by the dogma of the nobility and remain unchanged!

"My lord, commoners are water, nobles are boats, water can carry ships, and it can also capsize ships, even magic can't change it, I hope you can remember what I said!" finally Rogge concluded.

After all, it is not a world, and Rogge can only rewrite the words so that this viscount can understand and understand intuitively! If Kleeman can really understand the meaning of this truth, the rise of the Everleck family is inevitable.

"Water can carry a ship, but it can also capsize a ship!" magic can't change it..."After hearing this, Kliman's eyes slowly widened, and after pondering for a long time, he looked at Rogge deeply: "Although you are young, but with this sentence, you can indeed be my mentor, if the Everleck family can regain the glory of the year, I..."

"Your Excellency, you don't have to thank me, if you can understand...", Rogge interrupted Kliman, bowing and saluting.

Seeing this, Kliman's eyes lit up slightly, and he glanced at Owen, and there was a look of appreciation and admiration in his eyes!

A nobleman's thanks, what a great honor, and the benefits that can be obtained naturally do not need to be said, they will not think that Rogge does not understand the truth!

Even the noble magician will not be unmoved, but Rogge can be like this at a young age, and more importantly, Rogge is mainly based on the people, this bearing, this character, how can the two not look at each other differently!

"Lord Owen, I think it's time for you to make a move!" Rogge looked at the crowd below and said, "Those Viscount's Mansion heavy cavalry and security forces who are mixed in with the civilians, it's okay to kill people, but it's not so easy to really save this baron's life!"

"Why did you let Owen do it now?" said Kliman, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.

"This is public anger and needs to be vented!" Rogge's answer was simple and straightforward.

"Catharsis?!" Kliman continued to ask, "What about Walter?"

"It's useful to keep him, except for the city guards outside the city, and most importantly, Walter must be executed in public!" Rogge said.

"Why is that?!" Kliman frowned: "Walter is a nobleman after all, and there are few nobles in the empire who execute nobles in public, so do this..."

"It's out of the anger of the people!" Rogge said succinctly.

"Civilians are angry?!" After hearing this, Kliman nodded slowly, and without further questions, he said to Owen: "Go, get Walter back!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Owen jump, and in a few flashes, he entered the Baron's Palace, every time he saw such a scene, Rogge was itchy and unbearable at the same time, but also secretly annoyed with the condition of his body!

After a while, I heard a loud shout, thinking that it was Owen's way to deter everyone, and then, a prisoner car drove into the baron's palace, and soon after a noisy scolding came out...

"My lord, it's your turn!" Rogge said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" said Kliman, looking at Rogge meaningfully.

"No, it's just a defeated man!" Rogge smiled proudly: "Such an opponent, I can't be interested!"

Hearing Rogge's words, Kliman looked at Rogge with complicated eyes, and finally sighed: "If you can enter our Affleck family, the hereditary title and the position of the head of the family are all yours..."

"I don't have the intention of doing so. Rogge politely refused.

"You don't care about Walter's family property?" After hearing this, Kliman took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his body, and squinted his eyes: "The Tours family has been rooted in Dale County for generations, and the family's property is not comparable to those officials and businessmen!"

"I know!" Rogge nodded and smiled after hearing this: "My lord, this money should be taken from the people and used for the people!"

"Take it from the people, use it for the people?!" Hearing Rogge's novel and meaningful words again, Kliman couldn't help but repeat it.

"When today's matter is resolved, I will go to your house and tell you in detail!" After speaking, Rogge pointed to the following scene and said: "The most important thing now is these poor people!"

Hearing this, Kliman came back to his senses, now the fire in the slum is still burning, this is more than 3,000 poor people, if it is not properly settled, there will definitely be a big problem, thinking of this, Kliman couldn't think of a way for a while, and hurriedly asked: "What should be done?!"

"City defense barracks, you forgot!" Rogge pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "The city defense barracks is originally the garrison of three thousand city defense troops, and it is not a problem to accommodate these people!"

"As for the food, it's even simpler, most of the food of the city defense army is provided by the Baron's Palace, and the private soldiers in the Baron's Mansion also have a lot of expenses on weekdays, I think the Baron's Mansion should have a place to store food in addition to the treasury!"

"In addition, the food hoarded by the city defense barracks on weekdays, Luo Ji and the security army have not moved, and in a short period of time, the food and accommodation of these more than 3,000 people is not a problem!"

"In addition, my lord, you must issue an order after you go down, prohibiting the grain merchants of Dale County from raising the price of grain!"

Listening to Rogge explain the matter, Kliman deeply felt what it means to be in pain and happy this time!

Happy, because the matter of hot hands can be solved so quickly, as for the pain, it is naturally such a bewitching child, who can't even live or die in Everleck's house!

But hearing the question of food prices, Kliman wondered, "Why is this?!"

"Look below!" Rogge pointed to the crowd below who were looting the Baron's Palace: "These people are so crazy to rob, not because of poverty, for these poor people, poverty is just a painless title, what they really care about is to fill their stomachs..."

"The first thing they do with these belongings must be to buy food, and with so many people looting, the price of grain in Dale County will inevitably rise, which is by no means a good phenomenon..."

"Nearly sixty percent of the grain in Dale County is purchased from outside, and sixty percent of the grain is bought with the money in the hands of the civilians of Dale County..."

"When food prices rise, there will inevitably be an outflow of money from Dale County, and only grain merchants will make profits, and once food prices rise, it will not only be difficult to drop in a short period of time, but it will also inevitably cause prices in other industries to rise, and in the end it is these poor people who can't eat enough to suffer!"

"At this time, it is not advisable to arouse public anger again, otherwise it will be quite detrimental to your governance, besides, most of these grain merchants have unclear connections with Walter, and it is most appropriate for you to come forward to suppress food prices at this time!"

"And in order to avoid these grain merchants from making a fuss, they will close their doors and close their businesses, and only stipulate that they should not raise prices, so that they will gladly accept it!"

Finally finished, Rogge let out a sigh of relief after speaking, and said helplessly in his heart, a group of illiterate, if it weren't for these civilians, I wouldn't have bothered to stand here and tell you these 'esoteric' truths!

After listening to what Rogge said, Kliman's eyes lit up completely, he looked at Rogge like a light bulb, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Boy, as long as you join the Everleck family, you can do whatever you want me to do!"

With white eyes, he followed Kliman to explain the places that need attention, how is it also the highest administrator of a county, a hereditary nobleman, Kliman has deep political experience, and he understands Rogge's novel words quite quickly, and many places can be understood without Rogge's explanation...

It just so happened that after Rogge finished speaking, Owen 'climbed' up, because this place can not only observe the baron's situation, but also the position is high and hidden, so there is no need to worry too much about the safety of Kliman, so he chose this place.

"My lord, it's time for us to go down," Owen said, lifting Kliman up and leaping downward.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, how can I go down... The big brother below is still not there?!... Your mother, so immoral..."

Thanks to Wood's work and leading everyone out of the Baron's Palace, Rogge got off the roof, cursing that Owen would be killed the next time he went to the roof, and took Wood to the city wall.

"Keep half of the looted things for yourself, and hand over the rest!" With a look of surprise on his face, Wood went back with a smirk, and turned his head to see Cassel running.

"How many people are left on the walls now?" Rogge asked.

"The men of Art and Karl are here, and there are more than five hundred people counting us. Cassel replied.

"Well, what's going on next?"

"The rest of the gunpowder has been used, Bisol has been down there for a while, and it is estimated that it will be almost finished!"

"Okay..."Rogge looked into the distance and said slowly, "Crane, I'm just sending you!"
