Chapter 1363: Voting and Lottery
The young nephew asked curiously, "Then where did the big family go?" The priest said in a deep voice, "A large group of pirates came, killed all the mage guards of the big family, and killed all the people inside, plundered the treasure and left. So we were happyβand together we had divided the great family's field and what was left. This is a beautiful day that everyone will always remember, everyone has something to eat, and everyone does not have to pay back the loan sharks that will never be repaid! Everyone also elected a few leaders to discuss the matter collectively. Although they are still very poor, everyone is okay, at least everyone thinks it is fair. Until the kingdom of Chitaga came here to promote their 'vote-based people, lord, election,' every qiΔ was fair. β
"Wait!" the young nephew was curious, "Are you saying that after the 'vote-based democracy-lord-election' is not fair? "Theoretically, this does lead to fairness.
But society is never simply a 'theory', and the green-robed pastor has some truths: "Innocent! Communities are complex, and no system is eternally correct." Before the arrival of the Kitaga, before the 'vote of the people, we were all conventionally electing experienced and sensible people to be the leaders, and there was no campaign or policy debate. It's just a simple loss of beans, and everyone has an account. Those leaders will not have any additional benefits just because they are the leaders. Sometimes they make mistakes, and we elect people to monitor and correct them, as you now call 'councillors'. But 'councillors' are not campaigning, but 'lottery', and we use a lot to decide who will be a councillor. The effect is also good. It wasn't until the Kitagasy came in a dozen armed ships that they said that we were 'barbaric and backward,' and brought me 'vote-style democratic, democratic, and elective.'" Then, all the qiΔ was messed up. β
He sighed deeply: "Originally, it was a lottery for parliamentarians, and everyone had a chance. There is no need to engage in any open and secret fighting. After being elected, there were no financial benefits, and some of the benefits did not last long. So the parliamentarians basically speak with their conscience. However, with the advent of the 'vote-based democratic, democratic, and elective elections,' the election of a congressman requires open and secret fighting, and it is impossible to get that position without fighting! Originally, everyone was doing well. There is no contradiction. Those who want to fight must also pick out contradictions and publicize them in a big way, and finally fight between villages, clans, and east and west. There are more and more people who are grandstanding, and there are more and more people who are intolerant and arrogant. β
"They needed money to buy people, so they scrambled to get some of the more affluent people, and even to get a name for the local representative of Kita. And that representative had a long-term sale and purchase agreement with a ruffian. The priest said in a deep voice, "The ruffian became the object of everyone's rivalry, and he made a lot of money from the sale, and became the benefactor of the 'councillors.'" Everyone has to rely on him. Speak well for him. The young nephew's heart sank: "That ruffian is a fish bully?!"
"Yes!!" the priest nodded hatefully: "He is the later fish tyrant! He does not raise many thugs and rule forcibly like the big families, but he uses his trade money to control the councillors, the elected officials, the local ruffians, the people who hate each other, and the mercenaries and killers outside. He also lent money and embarked on the path of the big money in the past. And you actually borrowed his usury, and also walked the path of our family."
"Borrowing money is also a last resort. The nephew's father argued: "We don't want to borrow usury, but we are better than people." I have to borrow money to save the emergency. Reasoning and teaching the law can't talk about others. Alas, this is all fate! We only have" but was interrupted by the priest in the pale green robe: "The law is the law under the control of the fish tyrant, and the law is also the law under the control of the fish tyrant! After the death of the big family, before the fish tyrant made his fortune." Our island, is this the principle, is this the law?"
The young nephew was immediately overjoyed: "Yes, that fish bully is the root of all evil." Uncle, let's do it together! Burn the goods of the fish tyrant, so that he can't make a fortune, can't let go of usury, and can't hurt people!" Before his anxious father could stop it, his uncle had already spoken: "Don't be impatient, burning him once can't dig his foundation." We're going to look at the situation and come up with a better solution. β
Walking into the valley where the residents are located with their young nephew, they chatted and observed the fortress-like mansion and the old houses around it. Suddenly, I found something familiar: "Isn't that line at the foot of the mountain the channel we were going to repair back then? It hasn't been repaired after all these years?"
The young nephew replied, "It is said that the money is not enough, and the channel will have to pass through several villages." However, some villages lack water but have no money and no one to repair it, and some villages have money and people but do not lack water. For the sake of this money and people, several villages couldn't get along with each other, and some contradictions arose. Then it was gone. But his uncle had another opinion: "I'm afraid that the fish tyrant sent someone to make trouble again." Originally, the channel was repaired, and the water was easy to enter and exit. It can improve the harvest and life of small households. Then there will be fewer people who borrow from him usury. If you can't cultivate, everyone can't live a good life, and you have to look up to him. Hmph"
The next day, Yuba, who was enjoying lunch and honey wine in his little walled home, got the news: "There is a strange man on the hillside who is digging something one by one!" When he went to investigate, he was shocked - the guy who had been forced to jump into the sea ten years ago was back! and was directing the stout tree man about two stories tall to dig the ditch of the year!
After trembling for a long time, he realized that he still had to maintain his majesty and not show the slightest weakness! He tried his best to suppress the surprise and fear in his heart, and the first voice that came out of his mouth was: "He should be dead!
A priest who can conjure a tree man is at least a fifth-order priest, a full two orders higher than the third-order goddess of peace priest and some mage protectors on the island. And the priest drove the tree-man as thick and thick as a long-armed giant, and he did it all afternoon with a rough pickaxe that was one story high, and did not finish until the evening. Half a day's workload is worth a dozen people working for a day, and if he fights people, it will be more terrifying than a mad bull elephant! Not to mention that there is still a deep hatred between the two sides! When he comes back this time, he will definitely not give up, and this digging ditch must be one of his plots. Gotta kill him first!
In his frustration, he climbed his tall tower and sent a message from the highest and most magical place on the island. After days of restlessness, to the point of not being able to sleep for days, he finally saw a fluttering mage in the air riding a horse.
"But I'm looking forward to you!" Yu Ba, who was dressed in a shiny brocade robe, instantly put down his glamorous old man's posture, and pulled the mage who fell from the sky with a beautiful cloak to complain: "I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight." Oops, my former enemy has returned, and is still sneaking around outside my village. In a few days, the fleet of ships from one of the provinces of Kitagah will come to me to load the cargo. I'm worried that he's going to do my goods or my own. Kill him for me. These honorariums are yours!"
A plate of glittering gold appeared in front of the mage, and the mage with the magic dagger hanging from his waist weighed the weight of the gold and put it into the secret box: "No problem. Tell me the general condition of the man, and in two days I will bring his head to you. He pulled out a pair of magical daggers with bloodthirsty, decapitating properties, and pulled back his cloak, revealing an eerie layer of leather armor beneath his robesβa leather that smelled of brimstone and purgatory.
If you look closely, it looks like the skin of a demon! There are sparse hairs on this skin, and there is a scalp-like armor and a pair of sharp horns emerging from the ends of the 'hat'! He, as if he were a demon with a faint black light coming out of his body, jumped out of the window with a sword in his hand. After darkness enveloped the island, turning him into a dark shadow, he stepped into the void and silently walked to the sleeping green-robed priest under the tree.
And this tree is the horizontal tree man during the day, but now it is rooted in the ground, and it is not fundamentally different from ordinary trees. Rao is that you can drag an elephant upside down during the day, but now it can only be used as a tombstone. Hahahaha was sixty feet away from the enemy, his feet were already three feet above the ground, his feet were in the void without touching anything, not even a single leaf, like a silent ghost floating near: a priest is a priest, not even a 'shelter'. Especially if you like to be in the wild and like to be 'close to nature', you are completely looking for death!
Thirty feet away from the enemy, his two-foot sword has already shown a touch of 'decapitation' magic light, even if you are really an elephant, this silent and gloomy sword is enough to kill! No one even had a killer coming. This is the pride of a high-level killer! Everything is silent, silent as empty
Except for a shadowy 'big-billed raven' in the leaves of the bushes next to it!
There was also another silent 'Big-Billed Raven' at the top of the trees in the distance, and a 'Large-Billed Raven' hovering in the air, a 'Large-Billed Raven' poking its head out from the priest's package. They watched as the silent killer silently walked through the deciduous forest, silently drew his magic daber, and silently came to the sleeping priest, silently smirking, silently raising his sword and stabbing hard.
Poof!!!The sword was swung away by the 'sleeping' priest and stabbed into the dirt. The hand with the sword was firmly clamped by the priest, as if it were strangled by a steel bar, and could not move for half a minute. In an instant, the mage assassin was shocked: Why did you wake up?! How could this priest's strength be greater than that of the half-dragon priest?!! it was terrible, his hand was clamped to death!
