Chapter 43: Limitations of the times

"Look at these crystals."

As soon as he saw Hetty, Gao Wen directly threw a piece of lavender crystal into the other hand.

The lady glanced glanced at the things in her hand, and her face suddenly showed a surprised look.

"This is what you told me before, in the treasure house in the mountains..."

"Yes, it was taken from there," Gao Wen nodded. Although he did not bring Herti this time, he had already told the other side about the treasure house of the Dark Mountain in Tanzan Town. "These crystals." It’s the technology of the Empire era. Let’s see if you can understand its rune structure.”

Any mage who has not been caught by the door will realize their preciousness when they see these crystals. Hetti was attracted by these beautiful lilac crystals, but he played with it. After that, she could only shake her head with shame: "Ancestral... Sorry, I am very embarrassed... I am only a three-level mage, I am afraid I can't make such a deep thing..."

Gao Wen looked at Hertty's eyes: "I didn't let you make it, just analyze its rune structure - if you can, draw this rune structure. To say that manufacturing, I am afraid that no one can make something like this. The gadget: This is directly infused with the magic of the deep blue well."

"Deep Blue Well..." Hedi couldn't help but repeat this famous name. Then he looked at the crystal in his hand eagerly. "If you just read out the rune structure inside, then it is It's not difficult, just make a crystal resonator to project the things inscribed in it. But just read the rune structure... does it make sense? There is no corresponding energy-injection technique and activation method, the rune structure is just It's a bunch of geometric figures..."

"That will be said later," Gao Wen nodded. "These crystals have no way to reproduce, at least until they are exhausted, I want to keep some information as much as possible."

Heti snorted and put the crystal away, the tired color on her face was still there, but after learning the exact news of the "mountain treasure house", the spiritual excitement still made her look a lot better, Gao Wen will I asked about the construction of the camp.

"Before the sun sets, you can set up the camp all the time. At the same time, you can get a fence. I am going to set some magic traps and warning runes around. It is more than enough to defend against the beast. The loggers found in the forest in the west. A lot of high-quality wood, the coarse wood that is now cut down is still piled up in the upper reaches of the Baishui River. After cutting some more tomorrow, let the wood flow down the river. In addition, according to the information you provided, I sent two people to the east. I have indeed discovered iron ore, but now we have no smelting capacity for the time being. We can only come a little bit. The most important issue now is the shortage of manpower. The advance team is mainly to investigate the situation and establish outposts. People."

"After three days, the big troops will come over. By then, the problem of manpower can be alleviated - and the tools and materials will keep up." Gao Wen said as he turned his head and looked at the camp that was gradually completed.

He has a lot of plans, there are many programs, the broad ideas from the traversers and the rich knowledge from Govin Cecil make him confident. So when he looks at the rudimentary camp, his heart will inevitably rise. The stock is ambitious.

The camps are neatly arranged according to the plan, and the surrounding drainage ditch is also excavated in the camp. After the water of the Baishui River is introduced into these ditch tomorrow, they can be used to prevent the most dangerous for the new camp. Fires; craftsmen are processing wood, nailing them together to make the most primitive and simple fences - the fences don't have much protection in the face of real monsters, but they are still somewhat manageable when dealing with beasts. Useful; the loggers who had been logging in the forests in the west have been withdrawn, and are resting now...

It looks like everything is fine.

But after entering the camp, after carefully watching a few laps, Gao Wen couldn't help but frown.

He saw the numbness and shrinking look of the craftsmen and civilian laborers, and their various lazy techniques that couldn’t be said to be savvy, and those seemingly neat and compliant camps and fences could be seen everywhere. Where to cut corners and perfunctory things - a few nails are the most common phenomenon, and some tents are not tied at all.

Under the supervision of Herti, the craftsmen can still complete their work accurately, but the civilian labor of those helpers is simply a random operation - Gao Wen had actually thought that most civilians in this era did not have the slightest culture. I don’t know how to read or count, so he explained to everyone in advance how these tents should be set up. How should the entire camp be planned, but now it seems that except for the tents and fences placed in his strictly drawn places In addition, each individual indicator in this camp is almost unqualified!

Don't they know that these tents and fences are their only shelter in the wilderness. Is it their life guarantee for the next period of time?

Gao Wen thought angrily, then suddenly woke up:

Yes, they don't know.

Because these things are the lords, not theirs, even if these tents will be given to them next, they do not believe that they can live forever - one day, one day, after the wasteland is measured, they will be rushed to the wasteland. Go inside, and the tent will be demolished and become the castle and the stable of the lord.

This is the general rule of this era, and everyone is convinced of this.

Despite the disaster of the old Cecil, despite the exile of the team, although the construction of the new home has begun, they have adapted to the sufferings of the civilians and serfs who have survived in the age of rigidity and decay. I am used to staying numb in the process of suffering, so they will not have the idea of ​​having a big blessing after many difficulties, nor will they have the vitality and vitality to build a new home.

Gao Wen realized that he had taken some of the things he had taken before, and he realized that some of the plans that he had tossed for a long time were probably not easy to achieve.

He immediately called Hetty and Rebecca over.

Before a tent that seemed to meet the requirements, but looked down after a few support, and the whole was skewed, he pointed to the perfunctory places: "How do you think about this?"

Herti didn't understand the meaning of Gao Wen at first, but thought that this was to blame her, so she immediately bowed her head: "Sorry, ancestor, I supervised..."

"No, this is not a question of supervision - you can't stare at them to nail every nail," Gao Wen interrupted her. "This is a worker's attitude."

"Ancestral adults, you can't ask too much for those civilians and serfs," Rebecca thought and explained. "They mostly have little knowledge, except for the work they used to do in their farms and mines. There is no other, more complicated work at all. Most of these people have never taken a tent at all - especially if you have specified the specifications and functions of the tent, and the planning of the entire camp, for them Too complicated."

Gao Wen shook his head: "Is this really complicated?"

Herti nodded slightly: "The army camp will be so strict, these civilians and serfs can't do this."

"No, this is not complicated. I have split every step they have to do to the most basic level. Everyone just has to do one thing - nail, or tie the rope, or saw the wood. They don’t need to know the planning of the entire camp. They don’t do much more complicated than the hard work.” Gao Wen looked at Rebecca and Hetty. “Do you think civilians and serfs are so stupid that even this can’t be mastered? ?"

Heti and Rebecca face each other, they can see that Gao Wen is very dissatisfied now, but still have not realized where the key to the problem lies. As for the problem of Gao Wen - this is just what the two, especially in Herti's view.

Civilians and serfs are of course stupid.

They were born in this era, grew up in this era, and they are not the intellectual enlightened people who are knowledgeable and talented. It is impossible to have too much insight and understanding beyond this era.

In fact, Herti and Rebecca have been extremely different in the contemporary aristocracy - Heti never allowed the knights or soldiers in the family to arbitrarily plunder the property of civilians and serfs, and find ways to make each of the territories People can fill their stomachs, and Rebecca breaks the iron law of the serf life, and arranges for them to rise as free people. It also allows civilians and serfs to circulate freely in their own territory and allow civilians. Free business...

Each of these scattered systems can be said to be a challenge routine, but the overall ideological imprisonment still leaves them unable to completely break through a mindset: civilians and serfs are inferior.

Perhaps they don't think so, but the subconscious things can be denied by not negating them.

Gao Wen certainly knows this, so he called the two granddaughters, not to reprimand them or to enlighten them. He was not naive enough to think that the civilians in the camp would be in his own words. The serfs are transformed into lucid, active, and motivated citizens.

This will be a long process, and at the moment, he only needs these people to complete his job requirements as soon as possible.

"Call everyone together - civilians, serfs, soldiers, all," Gao Wen said, "the sky is still bright."

The people who were working and resting were soon summoned, and even the amber who was blowing his own treasures in the mountains with Betty was curiously coming over - she was beside her own betty.

Everyone doesn't know what the ancestors from 700 years ago wanted to do, even Hetti and Rebecca were in a state of fog.

And those civilians and serfs, they just numbly obey the orders, the civilians gathered together, the serfs gathered together, and stood next to the soldiers responsible for maintaining order.

Many people think that their "new lord" has orders, and may be more complicated orders than those complicated "tethering tents", so some people frown and they think they can go to sleep after the work is completed.

Gao Wen stood on a large rock and looked down at the number of people below. He had already seen the sneak sneak in the heap of people. He wanted to take this guy who might be confused at any time, but thought about it. No buzz.

Then he cleared his throat and said loudly at the volume that everyone could hear: "The people of Cecil, I have something to say - about your future, and Cecil’s new law. !"
