Chapter 39： Dark mountains (1/2)

Of course, although I complained hard, Gao Wen knew that there is no way for the world to develop into such a way.

The development of civilization has its own rules, but it is also full of uncertainty. Sometimes an explosive technological innovation is enough to make the whole civilization rise to a higher level, but in more cases, especially in the feudal monarchy, it has an overwhelming advantage. In the case of the development of civilization, the development of civilization will be rigid and stagnant for hundreds of years.

In a world where there is supernatural power, class solidification is so serious, and a great destruction has taken place, the situation will only get worse.

The existence of extraordinary power has given the world a lot of conveniences beyond the times, but at the same time, extraordinary power has also shackled the development of civilization in this world. It allows those who are in the upper class to easily live an extremely comfortable and comfortable life, and form an absolute dominance over the vast majority of "mortals" who have no power, and because of the scarcity and uncertainty of the "magic talent" itself. Sexuality, and this kind of power is hard to become a driving force for social development - because it can not give gain to the masses of the world, the few lucky ones who occasionally awaken the magic talent will only become the new aristocratic class, they do not Yes, it is also powerless to change the fate of most people.

Extraordinary power does not belong to "mortal" - this is a rule that is taken for granted.

It is for this reason that the progress of society has become extremely slow. On the one hand, the ordinary people who are the main body of the population have no power to change any status quo. On the other hand, the upper class who enjoys the superiority of power and convenience does not think that the society has progressed. - In fact, even the civilians do not believe that society has the need to make progress. They just have to pray that they will one day be able to awaken their magical talents.

Who would have thought of inventing refrigerators and air conditioners in a world where Frostbolt exists?

However, Frostbolt is always a Frostbolt. It has no way for everyone to eat sorbet in the summer, and there is no way for medical scientists to save serum and vaccine anytime, anywhere.

At least in this era, this is the case.

This is definitely not true. Gao Wen is quite clear about this. Extraordinary power should not be the resistance of civilization. It should not be trapped in the Middle Ages forever. The so-called magic is only a kind of energy utilization. Its flexible and convenient characteristics. It should have been a driving force for rapid development, not a shackle - but it is not something that can be solved now.

He explained to Herti and Rebecca in more detail the need to count the information and some things to be aware of when making the form. Of course, since they have never counted these things, those who lack education are likely to be unable to tell their names and ages at all. He relaxed the requirements for the form and only let them count the information of the craftsmen. Other civilians only register their names first.

Everything is perfected after the new territory is built.

No such people have ever done this kind of statistics on civilians, because for the aristocratic class of the world, civilians have little value – even the cannon fodder on the battlefield is not enough. The only role of civilians is to produce food and to be a free labor force. No one realizes the importance of “people”, and naturally no one will recognize the need to register demographic data.

The good news is that Rebecca, who is confused in other things, only knows this in a simple way. She quickly understood the meaning of Gao Wen and happily took people to organize the information.

Reminiscent of her previous decree that allowed serfs to become free people through service, it seems that this "incompetent" lord is not really nothing.

This child, if you are educated, may be able to deceive people (not).

Fortunately, the number of people who need statistics is less than 900. After the settle in Tanzan Town, the Philip Knight has made a simple record of the survivors. Rebecca quickly compiled Gao Wen with the help of Herti. Required information.

After getting the information, Gao Wen decided to divide the team into two groups and go to the "new home."

One is the advance team, led by him and Rebecca and Herti. The team includes half of the soldiers and militia led by the Byron Knights, as well as the necessary craftsmen and one hundred laborers. The advance team will establish a temporary camp at the destination. , to identify the source of water, etc., and to prevent the surrounding beasts.

Most of the civilians will then follow up with the **** of Philip Knight.

It is unwise to directly carry more than 800 people into a barren land. Although these 800 people are basically not old and weak (they have not escaped), the civilians who lack combat power are still behind the advance team. More secure.

To open up a barren land, no matter how much preparation is not enough, but always take the first step in everything. After doing the most careful planning and deployment, Gao Wen and his advance team finally left Tan. Sangzhen, heading for the dark mountains in the southeast.

They marched along the tributaries of the White River and on the relatively flat riverbank. The knights and the lords led the way in front of the team, and the soldiers guarded the sides of the team. The craftsmen with craftsmanship and various materials and tools were protected in the team. Central.
