One night two days later, Chris arrives at the lord's office with a scout report.

At 7 p.m., an hour before the public servants left work, everyone continued to struggle in their seats, and so did Ted...

Pushing open the door of the lord's office, Chris placed the document on Ted's desk: "My lord, the refugees have arrived less than thirty kilometers outside the domain of the Tomato Baron, and it is expected to arrive at noon tomorrow..."

"I see," Ted flew around in the afternoon, getting a rough idea of where the first wave of refugees were...

Now that the mission is approaching, it is necessary for Ted to ask how the preparations are: "Is the food ready?" Is there enough water? Have all the tents been set up for them? Did Baron Tomato say anything about our approach? ”

The flurry of questions didn't make Chris panic: "It's all ready... Baron Tomato didn't refuse to do it, because the benefits we gave were enough! But there's one more thing you need to pay attention to..."

Once there is a twist in the discourse, it means that the previous one can be ignored: "What do I need to pay attention to?" ”

"Your Excellency... Here's how: although Baron Tomato's troops had not yet reached the point where they could use firearms, they selected a part of the smart men from among the soldiers, set up machine-gun positions on the border, and set up mortars ...

Ted was not surprised by these actions, after all, in order to help outsiders, the premise is that they live in peace and have spare energy inside, and Baron Tomato's approach is very correct: "Well, from his point of view, this is not too much, in order to prevent order in the territory from being disrupted, they have no problem doing this..."

Looking at Ted's calm appearance, he didn't seem to think that Baron Tomato would succeed: "That... My lord, are you confident that we can accept this group of refugees? ”

"Faith?" Ted put down the papers in his hand and looked up at Chris: "Faith can't be talked about, I just know that when people are hungry, I give them food, and they will appreciate me..."

This is only half true, if you meet an ungrateful and selfish villain, this sentence is not right, in order to remind Ted, Chris kindly said: "But... My lord, you can't guarantee that everyone is an ordinary person who has been rehabilitated, there will always be Diao Min! ”

Ted smiled slightly, leaned back in his chair and stretched: "So I didn't stop or persuade Baron Tomato's move, just so that he could deal with these villains and people!" Let him be the bad guy! After all, I have to maintain my own image..."

Saying this, Chris suddenly became enlightened, anyway, there is a heavy machine gun behind Baron Tomato, if there is a riot, then they can retreat directly, and finally compensate him for the arms: "That's it... I see, my lord..."

Ted raised his hand and motioned for Chris to take a seat: "I'm a bit hypocritical at some point, isn't it?" ”

'Hypocrisy' doesn't apply to Ted, he just doesn't make money-losing deals and knows what is precious and what is cheap.

Compared to people's hearts and cohesion and appeal, a little food is nothing at all, plus the previous planning of resources, Chris can be regarded as having figured out Ted's true thoughts...

"My lord, I don't think it's hypocrisy, since half a year ago, every move you have made has a purpose, so I guess that you must have some terrible purpose for pretending to be hypocritical this time!"

"Oh? How so? Ted pulled out two cans of happy water again, and unlike before, he also pulled out two straws this time, and didn't pour the Coke into the cup as he had done before.

Chris took the Coke and spoke his inference without scruples: "Judging from the actual actions and results of such a long time, my opinion of you has changed 'slightly', initially, I thought that you love the people and will help them unconditionally, but then I found out... You will only help those who deserve it, not those who need it..."

Chris is really the person who knows himself best, and any of his careful thoughts can't escape his eyes, but fortunately, this person belongs to his own camp, if it's an enemy, it's not easy to do: "I still can't escape your eyes, Chris~"

"You've won the prize, sir... I only found out about this after you helped the Fire Tribe, and I guessed what you had in mind when you told us not to set up a department for social security benefits..."

"You want to build a society with only elites, but most people are not elites, just ordinary people, so you want to make the majority of people in a certain aspect, whether it is pig breeding or scientific research, as long as they are proficient in a single aspect, then you can position the social elite, and this is still easy to achieve..."

The elite does not represent the political elite, and there are other elites, such as those who are proficient in a certain aspect, can also be included in the ranks of the elite, and make the most of their strengths within the system.

"After that, the short-sighted lazy, or the selfish with an antisocial personality, and those who try to use loopholes for nothing, are singled out, given a minimum standard of food support, and deliberately excluded them, through artificial selection, to remove inferior genes."

"And what do you think of my approach?" Ted didn't think it was that far away, he just wanted to avoid endlessly giving benefits to people who didn't work like in Europe and the United States, and simply cut it all~

After all, there is a labor department in the city, and this department not only protects the rights and interests of workers, but also helps you find a job~

The lord asked for his opinion, and Chris did not intend to keep it: "I think this is too gentle, because after several rounds of screening, there are only about a hundred or so people, you can directly 'click' them off, and then the practice is fast..."

Such an answer has a serious feudal class aristocratic mentality, and it is not a normal means to deprive others of their lives at will, even if Chris has changed, he is still an aristocratic class, and it is difficult to think about the problem from the perspective of a commoner...

But after all, Chris is his own person, and harsh criticism of his words is useless.

Besides, from the very beginning, Ted screened out those who eat soft and not hard as public officials, in order to make everyone speak well...

Because once one person is anxious, then everyone will start to spray, but everyone is a cultural person, and for the sake of work efficiency, they will also control their emotions and try to speak well.

"Chris, what you've done is a bit too much, after all, they haven't broken the law, it's just an unfavorable gene for urban development, at most a moth! Although their hearts are a little darker, and they are more selfish and unwilling to give, they still have the right to live, as long as they do not break the law, it is still desirable for the prodigal son to turn back! ”

"But, every now and then, squeeze them out and tell them that such an idea is not right, or that it can be dropped..."

"Huh! By the way, how was it last time? ”

Such a mild statement made Chris quickly understand that he was 'out of the crowd'! What I just said is completely from the perspective of the aristocracy, and I have to pay attention to my words and deeds next time...

This time, Chris adjusted his mood and responded again: "My lord, after statistics, there are a total of 5,199 healthy lazy people in Valentine, relying on the benefits you give, they don't do anything, but after five rounds of teaching, now there are only 32 lazy people left, and they still don't do anything..."

The answer just now is too high-sounding, now! Ted intends to make Chris rethink: "Five rounds of teaching screening... So what are you going to do with these thirty-two people? Chris? ”

You can't just take their lives, but Ted didn't say he couldn't spit on them!

With that, Chris quickly had an idea: "At the end of September, when the benefits are over, they will receive the most basic food that will not starve to death." ”

"In order to toss them, and to make them feel ashamed, we have set up a particularly conspicuous green window next to the town hall, and the food distribution has been changed from once a week to three times a day..."

If you lose face once a week, forget it, after all, you don't see each other every day, but you lose face three times a day... Anyone who is a little bit ashamed will change their minds.

"Poof...," Ted laughed, drank half a bottle of happy water and quipped, "You really have a way!" In this case, they have to often come to the most crowded places and lose people three times a day! Even if they break the jar, they can set up a negative teaching for other citizens..."

"Yes, sir! In Valentine, nothing is free, we use free grain, squeeze their surplus value, a warning to the townspeople... Let everyone take this as a warning~"

Seeing this, Ted gave Chris a thumbs up: "Ahem... I didn't expect it, or Chris, you have a way..."

"It's nothing, sir... But then again, do you think the victims will rebel? ”

"Of course not!" As he spoke, Ted pulled out a digital camera and handed it to Chris, "I remember you'll use it, so take a look at the pictures I took..."

Taking the camera, Chris clicked directly into the default album, but he didn't find any refugees: "Uh... My lord, it's full of dishes and fruits..."

"You flip to the next album, and what you're looking at now is a sample of our export items..."

"Oh oh..."

Once you've flipped to the designated position, Chris doesn't have any more questions...

The people in the photo, supporting each other and walking together, although they are living very miserably and do not have much supplies, they do not hate each other, but are in order?

In addition to this, they are already starving to death, their bodies will fall apart at any time, they don't have the strength to do anything, let alone rebel...

"But... My lord, I don't understand why this is happening. Why don't they intrigue and don't resist? ”

Originally, when the refugees had a little money, Chris had a point, but now... They won't fight among themselves.

"The reason is very simple, when everyone is rich, there is no need to intrigue, and the intrigue is a group of people who only have a few silver coins in their pockets, but look at them...! There's nothing in your pocket, there's no point in intrigue..."

"Besides... The group of people who like to fight in the nest, the piercing heads in the crowd, have been killed by the nobles in the middle of the empire, and now this group of remaining people is almost all obedient people, honest and duty-bound, and they will not do anything out of the ordinary, as long as there is still a bite to eat, I hope it is not completely extinct, they will not rebel! ”

"And we will be their last hope, if they come here and have not eaten, they will also rebel, and they will be more violent than the previous group, but their bodies... It's not enough to support them to do that, so we don't have to worry. ”

"For our own people, we must have the spirit of resistance and questioning, and it is best to be a hard-working indignant youth, not a high-mouthed angry youth. But outsiders... Sheep are the best, so that they can be managed, let them continue to do the same thing, but in a different place... It's nothing."

"Moreover, after such an operation, our population will also be much larger, as long as we are properly educated in the future and stimulate the power in their blood, they will also become new human beings and walk in the forefront of the times!"

These, in the final analysis, are only theoretical, and Chris always feels that the plan will not go so smoothly: "But... Will such a set of plans really go on normally? ”

Ted shook his head and repeated his theory and catch-all plan again: "Of course it won't go so well, those who don't pass the 3 rounds of screening won't become citizens of the Nock Alliance." It's still the people of the empire, but they're not abandoned, because there's still the sun god giving them a back, and they're just going to have to carry out the sun god... That's just my order~"

In this way, no matter what they become, Ted will be in Ted's hands, and the troublemakers will be fooled by Baron Tomato, so there is no need to worry too much.

After all, the thermal weapons in their hands will calm down carbon-based creatures quickly, and after they have seen the power of these things, they will definitely not make random mistakes.

"See, my lord, it seems that you have planned it for a long time..."

"Of course, even the equipment of the 'armed believers' and 'sun god guards' of the Sun God Cult has been chosen, and they will also be the backbone of our overthrow of the Imperial religion and the Empire!"

Looking at it this way, it is to take the lives of the people to achieve the goal, Chris touched his chin and tried to ask: "But... Isn't it cruel to fool them like this, to take their lives to fulfill our plans...? ”

Ted knew that Chris would ask that, and anyone else would ask, and Ted had already prepared the answer: "It's a bit inhumane for those of us who are sober, but you can't just think about it from our point of view." ”

With that, Ted reasoned out, "If you think so, if you were one of the docile refugees, the sun god stood up when you were about to starve to death!" Gave you food, gave you security, and taught you how to protect yourself and your family! When your life is stable, the tragic memories of the past will turn into hatred or grief and be hidden in the bottom of your heart. ”

"Because you are a submissive citizen, you will not take up arms and take the initiative to resist, but if the person who gave you hope is threatened, it will be different..."

"As I said before, from frugality to luxury and from luxury to frugality, just a few days after you have lived a good life, someone wants to kill the person who has given you hope, trying to break the peace again and bring you back to homelessness, can you agree? It's hard to settle down again, do you still want to remember the nightmares of the past? ”

"Even a lamb to the slaughter, pushed to the guillotine a second time, will struggle a few times, let alone these living people..."

"This..."Chris substituted himself as a refugee, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head and responded, "Of course not!" ”

"So what's there to do to stop that? Reason with the pagans of the imperial religion? ”

Chris looked down again, and this time, he thought twice: "Of course not!" In order to maintain stability and prevent the tragedy from happening again, I will take up arms and resist! ”

“bingo！ In this way, everyone's ability to resist is stimulated! And we didn't do anything but give them a 'hope'! Didn't fool them, let alone pave the way for us with their lives! It was all of their own free will..."

"And after this time, they will become citizens who know how to resist, and they will no longer be 'people' to be slaughtered! In order to protect the people behind him like this, he is the most brave in battle, and he is completely different from the strong men captured by the Imperial Army..."

"Do you still think we're cruel? We're just a giver of hope, that's all! ”

Such a complete explanation answers all the questions in Chris's mind, but there is one more thing to pay attention to: "That... My lord, you said that you still want to provide them with weapons, are you sure? Will our weapons be..."

"Of course not the one we use now! They are undertrained, and we don't have time to train them, we just need to make their weapons a little stronger than the Imperial Army... Look at this..."

As he spoke, Ted took out the old antiques from his books and placed them on the table.

Chris has a few of these things at home, just for collection: "This... Shotguns? This thing can be called an unearthed cultural relic... Give the congregation this weapon? ”

Ted waved his hand: "This is the equipment of the armed believers, the Sun God Guardians are holding M1917 rifles, they are set up to resist the power of the Imperial Templars!" Other than that, I won't give them modern heavy firepower, they only have these two weapons, and the oldest, smoothbore guns that fire cement projectiles ...

Such equipment is easy to produce and does not have an impact on logistics ...

Chris thoughtfully took out his notebook and recorded these items in the book to prepare for future actions: "In this case, the armed cultists can indeed deal with the empire and the church!" You can also be on par with them! These equipment can completely make up for the gap in combat quality, and will not make the battle one-sided... It won't destroy the city or hurt the innocent! ”

Ted took this opportunity to give an order directly, stamped it and handed it to Chris: "Yes! Again, we don't need a ruin! Even if you are a captive, you can throw them into the quarry to contribute labor..."

"Got it! My lord! Then I wish us all the best tomorrow! ”

"Of course~"

...

At noon the next day, the refugee group from the middle of the empire arrived on the outskirts of the Tomato Baron's domain.

As promised, Baron Tomato led his troops to guard the territory and beware of riots!

It's just that after Baron Tomato saw the true appearance of this group of people, he let go of his previous prejudices.

Because the group of refugees who came here was completely different from the previous mob, and that group of mobs would have at least two taels of meat on them.

But this time... The skinny people inside can be called strong men!

Such a group of refugees, even if they rebel, will not be good...

"Guards on the spot, those who make trouble are shot on the spot! If it's still orderly... I can help you with that..."

"Yes! My lord! ”

In the distance, refugees crossed the horizon in droves and appeared on the plains.

When they saw the vibrant fruit trees and fields in the distance, they fell to their knees and wept...

"We're saved!"

"It's only been less than March, and the fruit trees are already bearing fruit, isn't it... Is this God's land? ”

"I think so! This is the land that God has blessed us, so go and see it! It's a miracle! ”

"Quick! Let's go and worship this god first! Let's see if he'll give us something to eat! ”

The first wave of refugees did not rush directly into the orchard to eat, one is that they don't have the strength, and the second is that they remember what happened not long ago, and they rushed up to rob them, and the end was only a dead end...

Ahead, Ted set up thousands of sheds to distribute food in order to show the generosity and mercy of the sun god.

At the same time, in order to embody the power of the sun god, Ted temporarily mobilized 10,000 red men from within the territory! As long as they stood there, it was a kind of deterrent, and the group of people with bad intentions immediately dispelled their thoughts.

The refugees gathered more and more, and the first 200,000 people soon gathered at the border.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the refugees, and he came to the front tremblingly on crutches: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are refugees from the south, and we have come here after wading through the middle of the country, hoping to get some food..."

However, the big guy in front of him did not pay attention, but pricked up his ears and waited for some order.

Half a minute later...

"Jingle bell!"

The crisp and melodious sound of the bell sounded, and the big guys took a few steps back, gave way to the middle passage, and then stood in place.

Just when everyone was shocked by this scene, I don't know what voice came from behind...

In order for everyone to hear, Ted also built a high-powered horn, which could be heard from 10 kilometers away: "God is dead!" The Imperial Cult has been completely corrupted by demons! Only the Light! It purifies all things in the world! ”

"Jingle bell!"

Accompanied by the sound of opening remarks and bells, the surrounding refugees also gathered here.

"Wherever the sun goes, it is the territory of the sun god! The fire of the sky is clear, the holy light is shining, only the scorching sun will last forever! ”

No matter how slow the minds of everyone present reacted, they could probably guess what was going on...

At this moment, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Could it be... Are these vibrant orchards and fields a gift from the sun god? ”

"God is dead? No wonder they didn't give us food and let us starve to death..."

"The sun god... What's going on..."

In order to maintain the majesty of the sun god, the people waiting on the side rang the bell again!

"Silence!"

The noisy crowd soon calmed down, and Ted walked out dressed as an archbishop.

"O afflicted, Lambs lost in the desert! To prevent the destruction of the world, to protect the peace of the world! With the gift of love and generosity, the good and great sun god deigns to come to earth again! ”

"O hungry man! Line up! Get ready to claim the bounty of the sun god! ”

At this time, the person next to him rang the bell again...

"Order! Gift! Praise the Sun God! ”

At the same time, the 'nurses', who had just been lurking among the refugees, shouted with the surrounding crowd after receiving the signal: "Praise the sun god!" ”

The helpless refugees saw someone shouting around them, so they also bowed to Ted, who was pretending to be a ghost in front of them!

Everyone is still hungry, it is not wise to open their mouths at this time, and when they realize that they are still alive and see the sun the next day, Ted will use the sun to flicker again, and the effect will be even better!

"Dinner!"

Because of the deterrence on the scene, and the fact that this group of people themselves have little strength, everyone receives food in accordance with the order, and occasionally a few who cut in line will be immediately taken out by the big guys and thrown to the back of the line!

After doing this, the enforcers will shout: "Order! ”

...

The middle-aged man who had just lined up at the front of the line, after receiving the food, came to the side, kowtowed to Ted three times, and said 'Praise to the Sun God' before going to eat...

When the people who got the food later saw that the first person had done so, they all followed suit.

These surviving people, at least in terms of IQ, are much higher than stunned Qingqing, as long as they kneel down and kowtow to Ted, they should still have a place in the next meal! After all, the fairyland full of life around here will not be short of such a little food.

If you don't kneel... The uncertainties brought are too great, there is no need to gamble with your life, it is better to kneel down and thank you! Besides, when they got food from other nobles before, everyone also knelt down, not bad this time~

At this time, the middle-aged man who came to the side with the food, after opening the small packet, looked at the rich food packet, and was stunned in place at a loss.

"It's... Is this a meatloaf? There's even a tomato and an apple..."

The refugees opened the food packages one after another, and they all expressed such feelings.

And Ted, in order to show the strength and wealth of the sun god, with the support of two big men, came to the refugee with food...

"Who is the sun god? Everywhere the sun goes, it is his land, and God is just the humblest god, he is dead, everyone continues to live, and the sun god is angry, and takes back the light and heat, the world will be dark, into endless cold, and finally everyone will die! ”

"Compared to the poor sour gods who can only distribute bread, a few meatloaf and bread are like a speck of dust in the desert to the sun god, insignificant!"

In order to make this group of people fear the sun god from the beginning, Ted directly stomped God on the ground! Add to that the experience of the refugees who were 'abandoned by God'...

In the hearts of this first wave of refugees, the great power of the sun god will sink into the hearts of the people.

After all, it's a meatloaf! Even if it's for the sake of meatloaf, you have to pat the sun god on the back, and if you pat it, you may become a believer, so you can believe it.

"It's... What shall we call you, my lord? ”

"I am an oracle, the archbishop of the Cult of the Sun God, Ted Hairington, and lord of the northern realm of the Empire..."

"That's... The Divine Messenger... Is everything around here the power of the sun god? ”

Ted closed his eyes, and didn't rush to answer, he opened his arms contrivedly, and it took ten seconds before he opened his eyes, and slowly responded, "It's just his most insignificant power..."

If you want to get out of the shadow of broken love, it is useless to cut off the relationship, and it is necessary to quickly empathize with the other love to make up for the vacancy in the soul!

The same is true of religion! The best way for a people who have lost hope to regain their self-confidence and hope is not to abandon theology, but to worship God.

God is dead, then turn to the sun god!

As for whether God is dead or not... It is believed that if he dies, he will have something to eat, and if he dies, he will have nothing to eat, and over time, whether he dies or not, he is also dead.

The man knelt on the ground, put his hand on his left chest, and pleaded in a trembling voice, "That... Can I become a believer in Him? ”

"Don't worry, I'll come here again tomorrow by this time, and at that time, I'll bring a message from the sun god..."

"Thank God for clearing your doubts! Praise the Sun God! ”

"When you come here, you are considered home, and the sun god will never abandon everyone who bathes in the sun!"
