Chapter 49 Knowledge
In recent days, a strange thing happened to the refugees who reclaimed land outside the Chijiling Town. I had liked to leave the town to talk to them before. Few people from Chijiling Town who showed off with them came out, and some of them had never even appeared.
The refugees were puzzled. They had a great time to show off their flaunts to us before, and they were all talking and laughing when they met last time. Why did the attitude of the leaders change by just one night?
Not only are there fewer people leaving the town, but even if they come out, they will be in a hurry and leave without saying a word. Seeing that the leaders of the people who had to come out if they had to come out, they would stay in the town all the time.
People are curious, and the leaders have such differences between the people and the residents. Of course, the refugees want to know the answer, so they try every means to inquire. The high stone wall blocked the eyes of the outside of the town, and the refugees had to see every inch of the town.
At the beginning, because he did not understand the specific situation, many rumors appeared among the refugees. Various things made up based on some people's imagination were vivid and scared many people. But not long after, when someone learned the truth from Frey, who was away from inspecting the progress of the refugees' land reclamation, the rumors were self-defeating.
However, the suspension of the rumor did not reduce the heat of the whole thing, but instead triggered him among the refugees.
Roger, the mage lord with the Red Ridge, was actually teaching knowledge to the leaders!
When the first time I heard this news, the refugees didn't believe it.
It’s not that they refuse to believe it, it’s that they can’t believe it.
You should know that it is knowledge. Knowledge that has been firmly controlled by the aristocratic class since the founding of the kingdom for more than four hundred years. Accepting knowledge education is a right that the aristocrats enjoy. The refugees are not clear about other places, but there has never been a precedent for aristocrats to impart knowledge to the common people in what they see and know.
Of course, it would be said if a civilian has a talent for magic and is taken aback by a mage.
A lord master taught knowledge to civilians. Did we hear it wrong, or was this lord master crazy?
The refugees couldn't believe it.
One person may be lying, two people may be a prank, but it is impossible for all the leaders they come into contact with to say this. What's more, there is the one who is out who loves to show off and can't help but carve the Lord on a stone tablet in the town for the leaders to learn and say a small part of the content in exchange for the envy and jealous eyes of others to satisfy their vanity, the refugees have no doubts anymore.
The leader who became the Red Ridge Leader can actually obtain the knowledge passed down by the Lord. Even if it is said that it is just the most basic knowledge in the Lord's mouth, that is also knowledge.
Things that I never dared to imagine before are now within reach, and the energy emitted by the refugees made Roger look at him.
In order to successfully pass the test and get the qualification to enter the town, the refugees were full of energy and showed several times more efficiency than before. The wasteland that originally took ten days to be reclaimed in Frey's plan was completed in just two days under the explosive refugees, which made Frey check several times, fearing that these people were fooling him.
It was just a stone tablet and a table of addition, subtraction and multiplication. I didn't expect the reverse to be so big.
The situation inside and outside the town naturally could not escape Roger's eyes. He was surprised to the townspeople gathered under the stone tablets to force themselves to memorize the contents on the monument, and to the refugees outside the town who worked desperately in order to get the qualification to enter the town, Roger went from being surprised to be puzzled, and from being puzzled.
Surprised because of these people's enthusiasm and selfless learning spirit, and incomprehensible reason is that addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are just basic things in Roger's opinion. However, Roger finally figured out why it was so.
In order to maintain their rule, the aristocratic class held knowledge tightly. They would rather rule all uneducated civilians than spread knowledge to enlighten the people. Only the foolish people could rule. Only the people under their rule were stupid would they not think of resisting the rule of the nobles, and they would not think about why most of the income from their hard work had to be handed over to the lord, and they had to leave a bite for the nobles and barely fill their stomachs.
Knowledge is only passed down among the nobles - the mage is an exception and has become the rule of the human kingdoms. Civilians receive cultural education, and even if they get a piece of paper with a piece of words, they will treasure it as treasures and pass it on as heirlooms from generation to generation, although they do not understand what is written on the paper.
Commoners maintain the greatest awe and respect for knowledge, and have the greatest desire in their hearts.
When this desire is ignited, they will burst out with unprecedented energy.
Roger has seen this.
I underestimated the attraction of knowledge to the common people in this world, but this is good. It will not only not hinder my plan, but will instead be a strong driving force to move forward.
Standing in the mayor's stone house in the center of the town, Roger's eyes penetrated the stone wall and fell on the people gathered at the stone tablet.
Although the Red Ridge Leaders' leaders are weak and thin due to their long-term life in refugees, they cannot do physical work or technical work, this does not mean that they will always be like this. They also have a strong desire to change themselves. If they were unable to change themselves in the past, then now Roger has given them a chance, and they will seize it even if they try their best.
I thought that the first group of people in Chijitang had a poor foundation and only had a lot of farming. Judging from their current performance, I still underestimate people's subjective initiative. If they have always maintained awe of knowledge and always pursued knowledge as hard as they are now, there may not be no talent among them who can stand on their own.
What is this?
Unintentionally planting willows?
Not worthy of it.
Roger rubbed his chin. He was extremely satisfied with the situation he had caused, not only would he not change anything, but he also wanted to give him a boost.
But before that, he had to prepare for the trouble caused by this.
The nobles blocked their knowledge for so many years in order to ensure their absolute rule. Roger dared to impart knowledge to the civilian class. Isn’t this to shake their foundation?
The nobles would never allow Roger to continue doing it. They would stop Roger and even destroy everything about the Red Ridge Collar.
Roger had no doubt about this at all.
However, there is a prerequisite for the nobles to react, that is, they must receive the news first. If they don’t even know what the Red Ridge Leader has produced, how can they start to destroy the Red Ridge Leader?
"It's time to show your fangs, my lovely wolf men."
