At first glance, Arthur only felt that this question was absurd, not to mention that they had provided so much help to the farmers in the logging village for free, and they should be grateful to Dade for saving their lives!

Isn't it true that they are the worst and stupidest people who not only work hard but also have a resentment towards themselves and others?

But after a moment of thought, to be precise, after watching Ron's eager eyes follow the other party's train of thought, Arthur realized that his idea just now was a first-class absurdity!

Yes, why should a farmer think he should be a good man, as he thinks he is?

Isn't that entirely taken for granted?!

In this crisis-ridden world, any child who finds a splash on the street will know that there is no such thing as a free lunch, let alone a group of adults like them who have been beaten by society for many years.

It turned out that there was such a group of people, not only gave them a place to settle down, but also allowed everyone to have enough to eat, and even all the supplies needed to open up the land......

And how can one not wonder what Ron really meant? Who can not wonder if they harbor evil intentions? The peasants had seen the bloody sacrifices of the fanatics in the forest village, so there were even doubts that Ron would slaughter and eat them after he had exhausted their labor.

It's so normal to have this kind of thought!

And after all, are Ron and the others really as pure as the white falling snow? Is there really no hidden evil intention? Don't forget, Ron asked Tarik to get the farmers out of the forest, in order to fill their labor force and expand the legion to fight Poye.

They want their lives to die!

"So I think that the current problem in the logging village is not with the farmers, but with us, and we have not fully gained their trust, so we take them for granted as soldiers who can go to their death at any time." Ron shook his head heavily, "That's not right. ”

Arthur's face flashed with struggle, although he understood the crux of the problem, but emotionally speaking, he really didn't want to admit that his behavior and others could be wrong.

Why?

"You're not convinced, are you?"

"It's really hard to be convinced." Arthur didn't hide his thoughts, and was honest with each other.

"Me too." Ron patted himself on the chest, "I have anger here, too, but the situation is difficult, do we have any choice but to tolerate each other?" Arthur, tell me your answer, what are we, and this Northern Boar Legion? ”

Seeing that Arthur couldn't answer, Ron asked directly, "Are we robbers, are we bandits?" ”

Arthur shook his head.

"Are we a regular army with a proper organization?"

After a pause of half a beat, Arthur still shook his head decisively.

"That's at the heart of everything we face today." Ron spread his hands, "We are neither bandits nor regular troops of Sturgia, we are leading an army of peasants who have suffered from hunger and cold. ”

Arthur's pupils twitched slightly, he really didn't think of this, but he just regarded the Northern Boar Legion as a spiritual continuation of the Imperial Legion, but forgot to consider what the essence of this legion was.

Their fundamental nature is not that they are mercenaries who like to jump across the kingdoms when they see money, nor are they vicious and cruel religious bandits like the people of the forest, but they are peasant rebels, as Ron points out.

"And the peasant rebel army, if it wants to develop and strengthen itself, can not all it do is to win over other peasants who are also overwhelmed and cornered?" Ron tried to reassure Arthur, "Unconvinced is unconvinced, mutual tolerance is mutual tolerance, the former is selfish, the latter is public, and when we decide to put down roots in the village of Urstock, we should accept the current situation." ”

Grain

The snort became heavy, but it quickly subsided, Arthur accepted Ron's words in his heart, but still couldn't stop sighing, "I'm very ashamed that I think I'm smart but I can't think of what the Legion Commander thinks, let alone any solution to the problem. ”

"This is simple, since the good intentions of the innocent will make them suspicious, then lend them a step back, change to a transaction, all kinds of materials are lent to them at low interest, and they must be repaid in the future."

Ron made a list of the extremes and explained it carefully, and then looked at Arthur after some speech, "But all of the above, to put it bluntly, is to draw a big pie for them, and if you really want to convince the farmers, you still have to come up with practical benefits......"

So Ron became a copyist again, and packaged the story of the Limu bounty when Shang Ying changed the law into a Carradian version.

For this mysterious and mysterious story, Arthur naturally did not believe in its authenticity, and only regarded it as a fictional character made up by Ron, but what he said and did was indeed very helpful to Arthur, and he had never thought of such a method before.

"I can't promise you that this will work, but I'll definitely give it a try."

Now that the solution to the problem of the farmer in the logging village has been discussed, it is time to talk about how to solve the chain reaction caused by it, Arthur took a deep breath, as if he had already made a decision in his heart, "You must also know that my people and John's people have been a little unhappy about the recent matter of fighting for the source of troops. ”

"I am indeed instructed behind the scenes, so in order to calm the emotions of the soldiers, and at the same time to concentrate the strength of the legion, and dismiss the centurion, please start with me."

Ron was in a trance for a moment, "Do you really think so?" ”

Of course not!

Arthur knew quite well that he had been entrusted by Ron with full authority to manage the affairs of the logging village, in fact, he had already owned a fief in disguise, and if he had a strong enough army in his hands......

Even if Ron always believed in him, this would definitely be a thorn in the Northern Boar Legion, and maybe one day it would expand from a thorn to a crack due to the dynamic changes of external forces!

Therefore, both for self-preservation and to prove his innocence, Arthur made this kind of request, simply giving up his duty of leading troops and concentrating on being a "civilian official" in Ron's mouth.

If not, how could his ten-maron be at odds with John's? Could Arthur be in charge of his own team? It's just an attempt to use this contradiction as a reason.

"Yes." Arthur nodded solemnly, "Soldiers, I'll go and calm their emotions." ”

Ron slowly closed his eyes, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the wooden table, and the two sides were silent for a night.

Early the next morning, Arthur rode back to the logging village, gathered all the farmers, and relayed Ron's words.

In the end, as Ron had instructed, the farmer was rewarded with a large sum of money to carry a piece of wood.

At first, everyone didn't know the intention behind it, so they didn't dare to step forward.

It wasn't until the reward was increased to 1,000 dinars that the brave man finally stopped hesitating, and he naturally received 1,000 dinars one by one, a huge sum of money that could be spent most of his life on frugality.

Seeing that Arthur was able to keep his word, the doubts accumulated before had not completely disappeared, but most of them were gone.

After all, everything given by the village of Ustok is not given in vain, it will be returned to them in the future, and since they are asked to return it, they can't still take their lives, right?

Therefore, although the farmers in the logging village are still working hard and tired, and there is a lot of farm work and training, at least they have a bottom in their hearts and are no longer panicked.

The disaster that could have happened has subsided, and all parties are at peace with each other.

And this relatively quiet life lasted until White returned.
