Chapter 600

In the banquet hall, Donne and Brad chatted. Under the guidance of Donne, the topic of their conversation gradually deepened from the beginning.

The more you talk, the stronger the surprise in Brad's heart.

Why?

Because Donne asked him about how to govern the city, how to manage the residents, and how to guide the residents to develop the city.

Brad is not stupid. Is the Regent really so idle and boring, passing by just to talk about some unimportant issues?

He knows very well that the position of the city Lord of hanging axe castle is still empty. Although Justin acts as the city Lord temporarily, as a leader, he will eventually return to the army and cannot be the city Lord for a long time.

Now Donne's question sent a signal to Brad, and he began to concentrate on answering Donne's question.

But as time went on, the questions Donne asked became more and more strange, and Brad answered more and more slowly. Often one question had to be thought about for a long time.

He dare not answer!

If his majesty is dissatisfied with any answer, how can his dream come true?

Didn't you see him sweating?

After finally answering the last question, Donne asked coldly, "what do you think is the most important thing in a city?"

What is the most important?

Brad is stupid.

What is the most important thing about a city?

People? Wealth? Defense? Military strength? Or the environment?

This question is too extensive. It is because it is extensive that it is more difficult to answer. Only according to the preferences of the questioner can we give a correct answer.

But... Brad doesn't know what Donne likes!

After thinking for a long time, Brad asked carefully, "safe?"

In fact, according to prandal's custom, Brad's answer is not wrong. This high demon world is very dangerous. Warcraft will pop out and make a noise from time to time. If a city can't protect its residents, who else will live?

Therefore, security is a point that prandar human beings attach great importance to.

Donne smiled faintly: "the sense of security is not wrong, but a little deeper."

Deeper?

Brad is stupid. You let him get a manor, or argue with those nobles, or even ride a horse to cut down the mountain bandits. After all, he is also a black iron apocalypse, but it's really difficult for him to think about these problems.

Security is not wrong, so what can security bring? More people? More... Wealth?

"Wealth?"

Donne drew from the corner of his mouth, "wrong."

Looking at Brad's anxious cold sweat, Donne gave up the idea of continuing to test him. He has a general understanding of Brad's situation.

He often does good deeds and wins a good reputation. This guy is a conscientious aristocrat. Secondly, he also knows some basic knowledge of management. Then he is not a member of the aristocracy. He is a neutral aristocrat and can be used safely.

But if you expect him to have modern logical thinking and management consciousness, you might as well kill him.

"Listen, the most important place in a city," Donne had made a decision, so he decided to point out, "is happiness."

"Happiness?"

What the hell is that?

Living in such a strange world as prandal, the elite determines the direction of the world. Humanistic care basically does not exist. The vast majority of nobles are only concerned with meeting their own desires, let alone the ideas of the bottom civilians.

But Donne must break this custom in order to fight chaos in the future.

Even an ordinary person can cause considerable damage to chaotic creatures as long as he takes enough weapons and equipment. Everyone is a valuable combat effectiveness.

But if we want them to stand up bravely against the invasion of chaos, we need a strong driving force.

What is that power?

The belief to protect our homeland.

"Happiness is an important indicator to determine whether a city has potential."

Donne explained while drinking tea: "a city can not be rich, prosperous or convenient, but it can't be impersonal."

"The most important thing for people to live is to be happy. A qualified manager can make the residents of this city feel the omnipresent humanistic care, make them like this city and think that living here will be very happy and happy."

"As long as people feel happy in this city, they will contribute to the development of this city, spontaneously maintain the order of this city, and the city will become better and better."

"Even if the city is not strong enough and in danger, if people can really like it, they will spare no effort to protect the city."

"If you think about it, if a city has been developing by exploiting and squeezing the people, and the people hate it in their hearts, will they protect it in case of danger?"

Donne looked at thoughtful Brad: "even if you threaten them to go to the battlefield with the command of the city Lord and the long sword, how much can you play in a negative attitude?"

"But your majesty."

Brad looked puzzled and asked, "if a city needs these people to defend, is it basically hopeless?"

Yes, if even the Apocalypse cannot resist the threat and die, leaving only those civilians to protect their homes, it shows that the situation is very dangerous. What role can those civilians play in this dangerous situation?

Donne smiled meaningfully: "you will understand this kind of thing in the future. I can only tell you one word. Never despise the power of the people. You know, water can carry a boat and also race a boat... Ah bah, it can also overturn a boat."

Can water carry a boat or overturn it?

From the bottom of my heart, Donne's words were absolutely frightening in feudal society. If it wasn't because he was now the king, I'm afraid just because these simple eight words could bring death - of course, whether he could be killed or not is another matter.

Donne wants prandal to change the social form as soon as possible, so as to enhance the overall strength to resist the final crisis, but is it so easy to change the social form? If one accidentally touches the interests of the diehard class, he may get rid of it. You know, there are two powerful kingdoms in the North staring at the ilrus Empire at any time.

Brad smelled a strange sign: "Your Majesty, do you want to --"

"Oh, I'm hungry. It's time for lunch, Brad. Hasn't your cook prepared lunch yet?"

Donne suddenly interrupted him. It's time to know something clearly. It's not the time to confess. First slowly accumulate strength, change people's thinking mode a little, and then find an opportunity to break out and complete the transformation of social form at one go. This is the only way.

Fortunately, there is magic and life magic in this world. As long as there is inspiration and direction, and the efficiency of productivity improvement is almost as fast as taking a rocket. If you want to complete the transformation from feudal society to capitalist society according to the normal rhythm of productivity development, you won't think for hundreds of years.

Brad immediately understood Donne's idea, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it should be almost done. Please wait a moment."

A moment later, the long table in the banquet hall was filled with rich lunch. Although it was still the same, there were also some local specialties and unique dishes of hanging axe castle, which could be regarded as a taste for Donne.

After lunch, they didn't intend to stay here too much. Donne patted Brad on the shoulder and said, "in recent days, you should prepare. This hanging axe castle can't be without a city Lord."

Hearing Donne's words, Brad, who was out of his mind all lunch time, was as excited as beating chicken blood: "I see! I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

Lord, sleeping trough!

After so many years, I finally got there!

From then on, the bodi family can finally straighten up and shout "Lao Tzu is also a man mixed with the king".

As for Donne's frightening words, Brad has made up his mind. He knows what his majesty thinks, but it will never be a good thing if others know.

Anyway, your majesty is considerate of the people and wants to make the people's life happier. Isn't that easy? As long as we vigorously build cities, hire more civilians and don't default on wages, they will naturally be grateful.

Brad still didn't fully understand Donne's idea at the moment. He just thought that Donne wanted to make civilians live a better life. However, he didn't know that what Donne wanted was to completely break the class barrier between nobles and civilians and make them compatible with each other.

"But I need you to understand that as the city Lord, you should be fair, just and honest. If you do whatever you want with the power I give you..."

Donne patted Brad on the shoulder, but Brad knew what he meant.

Brad's heart moved and Zheng Rong said, "please rest assured, your majesty, I will not mess around."

After beating Brad, Donne smiled and accepted Brad's gift. Then they came to the stronghold of Datang chamber of Commerce, met the person in charge here, and set up a transmission array. After connecting with Ellington, they left hanging axe Castle directly and set out to the east along the official road.

Matanil is in the east of Abalon. The central city is the port city FILA, about four or five hundred kilometers away from the hanging axe fort.

Matani is a very rich territory among the Duke lords of Ilus. Half of the wealth of the empire is produced here. On the one hand, it is because of the diverse industries here, such as mining, animal husbandry, planting, etc., and the famous natural port FILA of prandalheich, which will naturally attract a lot of popularity.

The abyss sea is the best sailing time in the month of growth (April) and the month of life (may) every year. It was once said that at this time, the excitement of Phila can even surpass that of alinks. The businessmen gathered in this city come from all over the world and sell local specialties. Anything strange will be found here. It is a city full of miracles.

Donne, they plan to go to sea from Phila, and then go south along the shining coast to get ashore in Bishui City, a port city east of ronitant.

From Bishui city to nanila, it's only a day's journey by carriage. It's quite close.

Just say the name of the blue water city

Dumne was too lazy to make complaints about it.
