The fertile land and abundant sunshine allow us to obtain more food than in the north without too much careful care. The comfortable life gives the residents here more opportunities to live.  The energy is spent on enjoyment." Barrett clicked on the picture while stroking his chin, "This reminds me of those islands further south. It may be difficult to eat well, but filling my stomach is definitely a problem.  No problem. So much so that some people don¡¯t even bother to plant grains and just go to the trees to pick fruits when they are hungry. "Although it cannot be said that it is entirely due to this reason, it is correct that there is some connection."  He seemed to be interested in the southern islands mentioned by Barrett: "Mr. Boreham, I have heard some news about the islands you just mentioned from the church members who passed by. It is said that the farmland there is ripe three times a year, and the mountains and fields are full of crops.  They are all fruit trees, and some of the fruits are even rotten and no one is picking them. I don¡¯t know if it is true? " "To be honest, I have never been to that island, but the results obtained from various sources are similar.  The residents there are not only lazy, but also far from loyal to the country." Speaking of this, Barrett emphasized, "Remember, I said the reason is the country, not the nobility of a certain region.  One is because the land is so fertile. Even if the political power is completely paralyzed, the people can live on their own. On the other hand, it is also because of the strict hierarchy between the upper class and the lower class.  The chief seems to regard the lower class as ants, so the people there often have no special feelings for the government. "It seems that the changes of rulers there should be relatively frequent," Pastor Kinahan said, putting down his wine glass.  made such a conjecture.  Barrett nodded: "Compared to the north, it is indeed like this. There are very few lands that have been continuously ruled by one family for more than a hundred years. However, this is all due to the competition for foreign political power. On the contrary, there has not been a decent local government for a long time.  "In the Southern Islands that the two were just talking about, the upper class looked down on the common people at all. In many cases, they didn't even bother to go to places where the lower class people lived.  But don't think that bullying like this will reduce the number of big shots and high-ranking people who don't bother to bully civilians. It doesn't mean that their subordinates can let go of the visible benefits.  As the saying goes, 'The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to meet.  ¡¯ Nothing more than this.  In many cases, reasonable taxation is also because of their layer upon layer increase, which eventually triggers a civil commotion. Of course, this has never happened in the Spice Islands.  It is precisely because the levels between people are very wide, a small group of people belong to the higher class, and most people belong to the lower class.  At the same time, it is also because the lower class people there can never hope to climb up no matter how hard they try. If people in the lower class get rich, they will easily be slaughtered as fat pigs.  In addition, the natural environment allows them to have food, drink, and a place to live, and they live happily.  Therefore, people throughout the archipelago have become lazy, lack enterprising spirit, and just muddle along.  Although the Cruze Kingdom is not as extreme as the southernmost islands, it is still a bunch of lazy people in the eyes of many enemies.  This situation seems to have always been the case from the frigid zone to the temperate zone and then to the tropics. Of course, if you look at it from another angle, it can also be considered that the harsher the living environment, the more diligent the residents.  Otherwise, there is the risk of starving to death again.  So the environment affects customs and also affects people's thinking.  Just as northerners cannot understand the idea of ??southerners muddle along, southerners also cannot understand why northerners live so tiringly?  By extension, the nobles of the Kingdom of Norhan find it difficult to understand the hedonistic spirit of the nobles of the Kingdom of Cruze.  The nobles of the Cruz Kingdom also found it difficult to understand the conscientious attitude of the nobles of the Nohan Kingdom.  Just then Clematis suddenly interjected: "Okay! Why did the two of you suddenly change the topic to the islands in the south while they were talking. Could it be that you want to build a manor there to focus on growing spices?  "This is a good idea! Although I don't need it now, when I don't have the urge to go out for adventure, it might be a suitable place to retire," Barrett immediately followed the pastor's words.  A joke.  Rierli also let go at this time: "Retirement! That kind of thing is still far away from us! Let's continue to discuss what the royal army did to this place before, which caused the residents here to become angry." "You still have  Do you want to continue to understand the reason?" Pastor Kinahan turned his attention to Clematis.  Obviously, he paid more attention to the opinion of this parishioner. After all, the 'golden-eyed messenger' had much higher authority to speak in front of the chief priest of the diocese than he did.  Clematis, who knew that this was the focus of the team, nodded: "I think there should be nothing in it that cannot be said to others!" "Except for the fact that it is demolishing the town"When visiting the villa area, several townspeople who had previously served there died unexpectedly.  It was also because the royal family had imposed a war tax before, and other conflicts occurred in the process.  "Pastor Kinahan shook his head gently, "So you can imagine how serious the conflict between the two is.  ¡± The small town of Storr was not originally a territory directly under the royal family. Logically speaking, they do not have the right to directly collect taxes beyond the local lords under normal circumstances. But during the war, it is natural to collect a 'reasonable burden' on the enemy's land.  It was inevitable. Although due to the rules of the aristocratic civil war, they did not dare to plunder, but what was originally a reasonable offering from the top would definitely be difficult for this small town, which is not rich, to accept under the layers of enforcement by the bottom.  . Conflicts are no longer inevitable. ¡°Sure enough, after the battle becomes fierce, the original rules may not be strictly adhered to.  At least in the south, they haven't reached the level of blackmailing the town." Ellie nodded with some gain. In fact, the more important reason for this is the frequent changes in the battle lines. If it were not the area controlled by the local nobles,  If it falls into the hands of the royal army, the other party will not be able to bulldoze the villa and increase the 'reasonable burden'. Barrett on the side also tapped the table with his index finger: "People's hearts are inherently loose.  Without any enforcement guarantee, the originally set rules and regulations will be nothing more than a piece of paper.  Of course, as long as the bottom line is not breached, the impact on the overall situation will not be obvious.  " "That's right!  Now it's just a forced tax. As the war continues, who knows what those guys will do.  "Speaking of this, Pastor Kinahan's face lost the usual relaxation, "I hope the war can be ended before everything is irreversible!  Otherwise, we really don¡¯t know what to do with our performance evaluation in the next few years.  "Although the safety of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' temple is not a problem most of the time. However, the impact of the war on the surrounding environment will greatly affect their income. For the Storr Temple, which generates most of its income from tourism,  If the situation worsens, the annual evaluation will definitely become a big problem for Pastor Kinahan, who is unable to make ends meet.  Neither the Cruze royal family nor the local nobles should want to drag out the war for too long.  Even if the outcome cannot be determined in the short term, peace talks may be the solution.  The situation you are worried about should not happen easily.  "After accepting the host's hospitality, Barrett naturally tried his best to choose the best aspect. Anyway, according to his understanding, the probability of this happening is not low. After hearing what Barrett said,  Pastor Kinahan's face quickly regained its composure. It was obvious that he had had similar thoughts before, but he was not very sure about it now.  Confidence was born. As the atmosphere eased, the next banquet was a feast for the guests. After recovering their strength and replenishing their supplies in Storr Town, the players continued on their way with their newly purchased items.  The rural spell caster here does not have any unique spells like the one in Upper Valley Town, so Rielle's plan to complete her spell book was completely in vain.  The remaining players ran wildly, but they still couldn't find the red dragon until the sun went down. Barrett, who dismounted and settled down and lit a bonfire, glanced at the noodles: "It seems that the situation has changed.  It seems that the red dragon is not as stupid as imagined!  It seems to understand our intention of hanging it.  " "Don't look at me.  "Noodles, who felt Barrett's gaze, immediately shook his head, "Even if there has been an investigation before, the internal structure of the 'Evil Dragon Queen' church is complex and the various factions are intertwined.  Therefore, there are all kinds of armed forces. Based on the current intelligence alone, I can't guess what type will appear next time.  " "As long as it's not a dragon whose breath has a longer range, that's fine.  And if we continue to go north, we will not only face threats from the 'Evil Dragon Queen' church and family.  Clematis, who put down the hose in his hand, continued, "Do you still remember the transaction we had in Shangxi Ancient Town?"  According to what Pastor Kinahan said before leaving, the Cruze royal family seems to be planning to teach us people a lesson!  " "Those guys in Shangxi Ancient Town really can't control their mouths!  You know" In the middle of his words, Barrett suddenly turned around and became fully armored under the influence of the ring.) :/17/17827/
