Chapter 360: "Being as rich as the enemy of the country" is an insult(2/4)

If such a monarch is not worthy of allegiance, then there will be no one worthy of allegiance in the world.

On the other hand, the process of converting emancipated slaves into freedmen is also progressing very smoothly.

With the help of the three churches of the God of Justice, the God of Suffering, and the God of Loyalty and Courage, the slaves were quickly divided into several categories based on their skills and cultural level.

Those high-level slaves who were literate and knew how to manage were directly transformed into the lowest-level officials, making them responsible for running the workshops, manors and villages they had managed before.

If you do well, you will be promoted; if you do poorly, you will be laid off or even punished. This quickly fills the big hole that is lacking in lower-level managers.

Slaves with handicraft skills such as carpenters and blacksmiths who can press oil, make sugar, weave, make wine, make glass and pottery, etc. are placed in corresponding workshops and continue to engage in production in the fields they are familiar with.

.

The largest number of slaves engaged in agricultural production, some were assigned their own fields, some were hired by the government to raise poultry and livestock, and some were given items such as apples, oranges, lemons, tobacco, olives, grapes, flax, cotton, etc.

Plantation of cash crops.

Of course, means of production such as land cannot be given away for free.

All acquired slaves need to pay an additional sum of money every year in addition to the fixed tax. After ten to twenty years, the land will truly become their own private property.

But even so, the slaves who obtained the land were still moved to tears.

Because compared to the old days when we were on the same level as livestock, our new life now is like heaven.

Looking at the people who had just been allocated the land and were working in the wheat fields while sweating profusely with farm tools, not caring about the scorching sun above their heads, but with faces filled with happiness and expectation, a man walking on a country road surrounded by only one

The thin old man wearing a loincloth slowly showed a happy smile.

"Yes! This is the world I expect to see, a country full of order and hope, where the weak will be protected."

Next to him, a long-bearded man with only one hand and one blind eye, but who looked very tall and mighty and was wearing armor, nodded approvingly: "Yes! This is it."

What a normal world should look like.

Before, Calimshan was like a patient covered with thick sores, full of pain and torture.

But now it is better, it is once again bathed in order, law and kindness."

"Not only that!

Through the abolition of slavery, hope and courage were ignited in the hearts of these people who were originally numb and resigned to their fate.

I think this is the most important thing.

But one thing I don’t quite understand is why Shane VII, who was originally a staunch supporter of slavery, suddenly changed his mind?

Will he suddenly declare slavery legal again after some time?"

Another young soldier who exuded bravery and calmness couldn't help but raise questions.

You don’t need to ask to know that these three are not mortals at all, but Irmat, the god of suffering, Tyr, the god of justice, and Tom, the body of loyalty and courage, who came in the form of incarnations.

The main reason why they appear here is because they want to witness this historic change with their own eyes, and at the same time ensure that no other gods from the evil camp are secretly causing trouble.

Especially Shar, the goddess of night, and Cyric, the prince of lies, who have a wide belief base in Calimshan.

You must know that in this drastic change, the most people who died were the believers of these two evil gods and church members. There is no guarantee that some retaliatory actions will not be taken.

Fortunately!

The situation that Tyr, Ilmat and Thom were most worried about did not appear.

Because Cyric is currently busy making the artifact "Cyric Sutra" and has no time or energy to care about other things.

Shar is capable of some intrigues, but she has always been cautious and will never stand up to face the Three Saints Alliance alone.

The only ones who caused some chaos were the fanatic followers of Baal, the late god of murder.

I don’t know if they are crazy or have mental problems, but these guys actually want to try to plan the assassination of Shane VII and some high-level officials.

As expected, the soul was taken out of the body by the demilich and imprisoned in a special soul gem. It was eventually digested and absorbed to provide the former with additional energy.

Ilmat smiled and explained: "This is all the result of Soth.

It was he who persuaded King Shane VII to abolish slavery in exchange and win our support for his legitimacy.

As for whether the former will suddenly regret it later, you don’t need to worry at all.

Because the last wish of Shah En VII is to restore the glory of the former empire.

After completing this goal, he will choose to give up power and hand over the country to Soth through marriage.

One of Soth's biggest characteristics is that he hates slavery very much and will provide the lowest level of civilians with the minimum guarantee of survival. This can be seen from what he did in Luskan.

What's more, our church has now obtained the power to enforce law, which is the most obvious signal.

Don’t forget, after Luskan was conquered and transformed, our local church also received the same power."

"Ah! I remembered what you said. I have a paladin disciple named Kaidong who is currently in Luskan. Although he has not been able to train paladin as he wished, he has trained a large number of qualified paladin.

Law enforcement officers." A golden light flashed in Tom's eyes.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to say.

Although Soth himself is not inclined to kindness, he is inclined to order and dislikes disorder and chaos.

And it may be related to his previous growth and living environment. His attitude towards civilians, especially human civilians, is far more benevolent than the rulers of most countries.

At the same time, he also possesses a lot of knowledge that can increase food production, increase the variety of commodities, and make a country more prosperous and wealthy.

Most importantly, South is very clear about the indispensable and important role of law, order, fairness and morality at the social level.

Even if he does not fully recognize our teachings, he is still willing to cooperate and give us certain law enforcement powers to maintain the entire society in a state of orderly neutrality and even a slightly kind-hearted state.

Although this is still far from the perfect state of lawful good in our ideal, from the perspective of the entire world, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

So I think we can have more cooperation like this time in the future.

Especially for areas that are still in barbarism, chaos and crime, rather than letting the people there continue to be corrupted, it is better to leave them to Soth to rule.

I admit that some of his methods do resemble a cold and cruel tyrant.

But it is undeniable that all places that have undergone transformation have become better than before, and people's living conditions are often significantly improved.

In particular, the tremendous suffering being endured by the poor at the bottom has been alleviated to a great extent.

Maybe he is not the best choice, but he is the one we can currently find that is most likely to bring about changes for the better on this continent."

Ilmat expressed his thoughts in front of the two allies.

As the second god in the entire Faerûn continent after Talona to notice the existence of Zuo Si, he spent a lot of time observing this young man who had traveled from another dimension, whether it was his thoughts or behavior, and finally

That’s why I made this judgment.

When Tyr, the God of Justice, heard these words, he fell into deep contemplation. After about two or three minutes, he responded: "What you said makes sense, I will let the church try to cooperate with Sosto.

But as for supporting his expansion of power, let’s wait and see for a while.

Don't forget, when he was threatened, he was a madman who had no respect for the gods.

They even dare to use terrifying world-destroying monsters like the Eldrazi as a bargaining chip for intimidation in the Pantheon."

"Hahahaha! I think this young man is very courageous! You must know that in the continent of Faerun, he is the only mortal who dares to directly question the gods face to face and threaten the gods." Tom couldn't help laughing.

.

He will never forget the spectacular scene where the Pantheon was silent for a moment after Zuo Si explained what the Eldrazi were.

You must know that even when the God of Gods Io came and announced that he would knock down the gods and walk in the mortal world as the only saint, the gods did not choose to remain silent. At least a few powerful gods came forward to carry out the campaign.

Argue.

Among them, Tyr, the god of justice, and the second-generation goddess of magic reacted particularly fiercely.

But Zuo Si, with a mortal body far weaker than the gods, created a famous scene that even the god Io could not achieve.

Fearless to challenge the powerful with the weak, this is the character that Thom, who is loyal and courageous, appreciates most.

Just as the incarnations of the three gods were admiring the wonderful scene after liberating the slaves, and discussing how to make the light of order and kindness envelope more places, far away in a side hall of the Calimport Palace, Zuo Si was checking on Jeff

A list sent from .

As for the content, it is also very simple, it is the treasure in the lair of "Sharp Tooth" of Ivicola Sagram.

It has to be said that this legendary Dragon King, who has collected taxes in Calimshan, Tethyr and Amn for hundreds of years, has a very rich family, so rich that even the word "rich as a country" is a shame when applied to her.

Insult rather than praise.

The number of various types of gems alone is enough to fill a well with a diameter of more than seven meters and a depth of more than fifty meters.

Yes!

You read that right!

Just fill up a well!

As for the number of gold coins, it cannot be completed in a short time and can only be roughly weighed.

Including other melted gold bars and gold bricks, the total is 2,500 tons.

Of course, since the gold content of gold coins in different countries and eras is different, this number may be discounted in half.

But that’s still more than 1,250 tons!
