Seeing Anduin's dissatisfied look, Conte lowered his head in shame.
During this period, he temporarily took over the town's internal affairs, but his ability was not enough to manage Hetan Town, and he was always in a state of distress.
Until Sean returned to town with Morgan Mill, and with Morgan's help, he could barely handle the job.
Conte could only lower his head and explain bitterly: "Sir, to be honest, this is the first time I have heard of many of these issues. I have never heard any feedback from the townspeople about these things."
Anduin glared at Conte, not knowing what to say.
...
Sean was also listening to the townspeople complaining to Anduin, and heard about "the fight between the original townspeople and the new freedmen" (the new freedmen are freedmen converted from slaves), and "there are fakes in the town."
After these two incidents, attention increased a lot.
These two things may seem like small things, but if they are allowed to develop, they will accumulate into big things!
So Sean quickly said to the two townspeople: "You two, come here, I have something to ask you... It's not you. I'm not interested in your wife's cheating. I'm talking about you two."
Sean released two holy light marks on the two townspeople.
The two townspeople understood and immediately walked towards Sean.
At the same time, Sean also winked at Anduin.
Anduin nodded and focused his attention on the two townspeople who were marked by Sean using the Holy Light.
...
After the two townspeople came over, Sean asked Vivian to release a "sound-proof barrier" to wrap them inside, and then looked at the fair-looking male townsman with deep-set eyes:
"what's your name."
"Lord, my name is Siman."
"If I read correctly, you should be the first batch of slaves to arrive in Riverside Town, and you have obtained the status of a free citizen now, right?" Sean asked.
There are some differences between the appearance of the citizens of the Sunflower Principality and the citizens of the Lane Principality, so Sean quickly recognized Siman as a person from the Sunflower Principality.
"That's right, Lord Lord." Siman said excitedly: "You gave me the status of a free citizen just over a month after I came to Hetan Town. I am very grateful to you!"
"No need to thank me, this has something to do with your outstanding performance in the manor." Sean waved his hand: "By the way, you just said that your new freedmen had a fight with the aborigines, what happened?
"
Sman sighed and told Sean about the experiences of their new freedmen.
Sean listened carefully to Siman's description and figured out the whole story of what happened.
…
The "difference" between the appearance of the new freedmen and the aborigines in Hetan Town was very easy to identify, and these "differences" slowly evolved into discrimination.
After all, human beings all have hostility and hatred towards other ethnic groups, which is normal.
In addition, the new freedmen had been slaves and the Sunflower Principality was not strong, so they were "treated differently" by the aborigines in Hetan Town in their daily lives. Arrogance, prejudice, and discrimination gradually evolved into ridicule and
abuse.
Conflicts gradually accumulated, and eventually a fight broke out between the newly minted freedmen and the natives.
Fortunately, both sides are relatively restrained. The newly freed people cherish the hard-to-get good life, and so do the indigenous people.
So only one person had his leg broken, and the others had minor injuries.
...
Anduin used [Thought Stealing] on Siman, and after reaching the conclusion, he said: "Sir, what Siman said is true."
Sean sighed: "Well, I had long expected that conflicts would break out between the newly minted freedmen and the aborigines, but I didn't expect the conflict to come so early...
Anduin, we need to resolve these conflicts as soon as possible, otherwise conflicts will arise not only between the indigenous people and the new freedmen, but also between the indigenous people and foreign refugees and immigrants."
"My lord, how should we resolve these conflicts?" Anduin asked humbly.
Sean took out a small notebook from the [Dimensional Backpack], flipped through it and replied:
"I have thought about this problem many times, and I have also taken notes... I found it! There are only four solutions I can think of at the moment:
The first way is to enact harsh penalties to prevent fights between them.
The advantage of this method is that it can achieve good results immediately, but the disadvantage is that it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause;
The second method is ethnic integration, allowing everyone to live together. After more than ten generations, everyone will have the same appearance and speak the same language, so there will naturally be no discrimination.
The advantage of this method is that it can fundamentally solve the problem, but the disadvantage is that the pain in the first few decades is definitely unavoidable;
The third way is to let them live separately, with foreigners living in one area and locals living in another area.
This method is the same as the first method. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and will instead deepen ethnic discrimination;
The fourth method is to use common religion or values ​​to force them together.
This method is very good, but things like religion...emmmm, values ​​are much more reliable than religion."
Anduin was a little dizzy when Sean said it: "Then, sir, which method should we take?"
Sean analyzed the pros and cons and finally said: "We cannot be limited to one method, but must use several methods together.
We must first use the first and third methods, allowing natives, foreigners, and new freedmen to live separately, and enact laws to prohibit fighting between them.
Then, we use the fourth method to establish a common value and common belief for all townspeople.
This way the ethnic issue can be solved!"
At the end of his words, Sean patted Anduin on the shoulder: "Anduin, while I'm gone, the whole of Riverside Town is in your hands!"
Anduin originally wanted to go to Port Capul with Sean. After all, he had never seen any city in this world since he came to this world.
But he also knows that there are big problems in Hetan Town at this stage, and he cannot do without him.
So Anduin had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, sir, I will try my best to manage Hetan Town!"
"I feel relieved when you are here!"
…
Finally, Sean said to Siman:
"Siman, go and call those who are fighting to the administrative hall. After calling them, I will give you a reward of 5 gold coins."
But seeing that Siman was still hesitant, Sean understood his concerns and promised:
"Don't worry, I'm just criticizing and educating them. I won't put them in jail. I promise they won't retaliate against you."
After hearing Sean's assurance, Siman felt relieved: "Okay, sir, I'll go right away!"
After Siman finished speaking, he saluted Sean again and left.
.....
After Siman left, Sean looked at another town citizen: "Miss, what is your name?"
"My name is Debbie, a native of Hetan Town." Debbie said timidly: "In the past, when we bought things in the town, there were almost no fakes. But for some reason, many of my neighbors recently said they bought fakes. I hope you two
