He thought of many ways, but the result was... there was no way. 【Read the latest chapter】
Yes, in this era, what can be done?
This is not the familiar Middle Ages on Earth. As long as the Renaissance wave is triggered to liberate the mind and strengthen trade to strengthen the merchant and citizen classes, the Middle Ages will be over. Here, it doesn't work.
The basis for the existence of the lord system is that the lord has a force that far exceeds that of the civilians. This force includes personal, power and even class. It can be the army, magic or gods. The strong men of the first generation establish their rule. The second generation may not be as strong, but they have the force left by the previous generation and can still maintain their rule. After three generations of enfeoffment, enfeoffment and war continued until the place was divided into a state that matched its strength. From the beginning to the end, the subjects were just the piece of fat being divided, without any ability to resist.
Because there are gods and magic, this gap in strength cannot be made up by making muskets and artillery.
As for the rest? Printing, ecological recycling, and science popularization can immediately trigger a divine war if you take out any one of them. Even smaller ones, such as the Quyuan plow, are for deep plowing with less effort. This simple effect will also change the balance of power in a region, and then lead to a war.
Lu Yuan's intended target of benefit, ordinary farmers, would not receive any benefits, because the lords could collect the plow tax at any time. Not only that, but it also pushed them into a war that had nothing to do with them.
After coming out the next day, Lu Yuan went to see Mu Xing with two dark circles under his eyes, but was knocked to the ground faster than yesterday.
While Mu Xing was busy in the fields, Lu Yuan began to wander around the village. He chatted with everyone, and then wrote down some things. After two days like this, he knew almost everything about this small village.
Again, when everyone was gathering at the entrance of the village to rest, Lu Yuan stood up. He first performed a few tricks like a busker, causing bursts of cheers until the whole village was attracted. At the end of the performance, he loudly announced that he would perform an unprecedented new spell! The name is "Five silver coins, please everyone!"
He noticed that Duixing was looking at him intensely, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
Then he used 5 silver coins to buy some things from the grocery store owner, and exchanged these things with some families for other goods, and then exchanged them with other families, and then exchanged them again... until finally, when almost all families When they all got what they wanted, Lu Yuan still had 5 silver coins in his hand.
When he spoke again, everyone looked at him like a sage and listened carefully to every word he said. He carefully talked about what he had done in the past two days, and even more. When you die, do you hope that someone can help the wife and children you left behind? When you are oppressed by villains, do you want someone to stand with you? When you encounter injustice, do you want someone to help you seek justice? When you have extra time to do something, are you willing to reach out and help others?
He used five silver coins to buy some thin wooden poles at the town's grocery store and placed them in the middle of the wheat drying field. Then he gestured and explained why a thin wooden pole was broken and how a thin wooden pole could not be broken. .
He saw the thoughts and silence of those people, and saw the excitement and hope of some people. After that, he pulled Mu Xing and quickly left the small village. Besides, the peasant revolution was about to come.
This matter has been fermenting in private for more than ten years.
Peasants are a class that does not like to leave the land. Although a mutual aid group called "Five Silver Coins" has been formed here, the furthest they can reach is a nearby village. Even after ten years of development, this kind of group is still limited to Bo. The area around the Gate of Virtue. After the big nobles discovered bad signs, they suffered a series of suppressions, and the group collapsed and disbanded.
However, these repressions angered a young man who was one of the children who listened to the story on the edge of the wheat drying field. He was once one of the backbone of the group. After the group collapsed, he flew far away like a splashing spark, igniting sparks everywhere, and finally burned back to Baldur's Gate.
He began to consider himself a preacher, wore linen clothes, and traveled throughout western Faerûn. Every time he went to a village, he would take out five silver coins, repeat what Lu Yuan had done back then, and then tell those simple truths. Many people followed him to learn his wisdom, and then imitated him to become new kindlings and walk the countryside again.
In less than five years, the "Five Silver Coins" organization spread throughout the east, finally united under the leadership of some ambitious people, and began to make its own voice like a guild. This guild lacks high-end power, but it is a collection of the most basic population in the east. When the number of people exceeds a limit, that is power.
As a result, the leaders of the "Five Silver Coins" were sent to the city council. Priests from various temples of the Good God would occasionally join the "Five Silver Coins" to expand the influence of the church. The "Five Silver Coins" also began to actively recruit like-minded rangers and druids. Waiting for professionals, these people constitute the high-end power of "five silver coins". Putting aside the struggles at the top, farmers at the bottom have indeed been given an opportunity to avoid being exploited to the point of poverty.
According to their rumors, Lu Yuan has become a sage who is hundreds of years old. He holds three ears of wheat in his right hand and five silver coins on the open palm of his left hand.
Well, the future great sage was looking away with embarrassment under Duixing's playful eyes.
"Would you like to believe in the Forest Goddess with me? I think Ms. Alona will definitely like you!"
"Thank you, but my loyalty to Omar will never change."
"Lu...Yuan, thank you, I like what you do." Mu Xing's voice was like the wind passing through the forest.
"Actually, don't have too many expectations," Lu Yuan couldn't help but say, "It's just a seed, and there is only a very small chance that it can really grow into a towering tree! If you expect too much, you will be disappointed."
"What are you talking about?" Duixing shook his head, his hair shining brightly in the morning light, "I mean the way you looked when you came in and out of those farmhouses. You were very down-to-earth and kind. You didn't look evil at all back then. Mage, it looks really good!”
*******************************
"Up, down, up, left, up, up, right, lunge!" Mu Xing lunged forward, a burst of air burst out from his body, and the wooden sword pierced Lu Yuan's shoulder like a meteor.
Two phantoms seemed to appear on one side of Lu Yuan's body. Mu Xing's sword only passed through one of them. Lu Yuan took the opportunity to stab his ribs, and Mu Xing retreated.
"Good. Now you attack."
"Up, up, right, left, left, up, down, up, down, thrust!" Lu Yuan's thrust relied not on strength but on agility. He rolled forward lightly, and the wooden sword pointed directly at Mu Xing's lower abdomen. .
"Too slow!" Mu Xing shouted softly and struck hard with his sword. Lu Yuan's sword flew out again.
"Ah ah ah", Lu Yuan lost his balance and fell forward. Mu Xing moved his body and then stood still without avoiding it. Lu Yuan hugged Mu Xing's thigh, and finally he didn't fall like a tiger and pounced down the mountain.
[System prompt: You win, +200xp...]
"Up, down, up, down, stab!"
Bonfire burning.
Mu Xing was preparing dinner while watching Lu Yuan practicing his sword from a distance.
Although she didn't understand the use of a mage learning swordsmanship, Lu Yuan learned it very quickly.
"Is the mage really that smart?" She thought of the method he had thought up for the farmers to help each other. That method is indeed very good. The lord will not value anything worth less than five silver coins. But for the territorial citizens and free people, things worth less than five silver coins are precisely the main body of their daily necessities - barley, Clay pots, knives, salt, etc.
Of course, people in this era still don’t know the relationship between circulation rate and currency. If you include the total amount and circulation rate of supplies, the numbers would make the lords salivate. It's a pity that all these will be covered up under the figure of five silver coins, so they seem so insignificant.
I heard the sound of dinner being served.
Lu Yuan put down his sword, moved his body, and walked behind the tree to change clothes.
He felt that he had learned well. After gradually adapting to the rhythm of the warrior, the specialties given to him by the system can basically function normally. There are only two that he is still learning now, "Handy Weapon" and "Rail Sword Specialization".
"Handy weapons" emphasizes the use of agility attributes in the use of weapons. His agility attribute is very high and his reactions are quick, but his experience is too little and his intention of action is too obvious. For an experienced adventurer like Mu Xing, even if his attributes are not as good as Lu Yuan's, it is easy to intercept his movements. It will be a long-term thing to make full use of this expertise.
He can already exert 70% of his power under "Rail Sword Specialization". When he uses the rapier, Evening Star needs two swords to defeat him. He had a lot of problems before, including lack of training, unsteady steps, deformed movements, lack of center of gravity, etc. Now after half a month of training, there are basically no problems. He has begun to practice some advanced routines such as "sword skills" provided by the system. Those were already imprinted on his body, he just had to let his body adapt and display them, of course very quickly.
"Yeah, it tastes good."
Lu Yuan took a sip of mushroom soup and praised it.
"I learned well, right?" After hearing the compliment, Muxing immediately showed off happily. In the past half month, Mu Xing also learned a lot from Lu Yuan.
It was only two days' journey from the small village to the Friendly Arm Hotel, which could not satisfy Lu Yuan's requirement of "learning swordsmanship and surviving in the wild".
So the two of them simply turned east and went through the Sharptooth Forest for two or three weeks of outdoor training. Lu Yuan himself plans to wear multiple hats, and is willing to learn any knowledge that comes to him. These will be converted into skills and stored in the system. He has acquired many skills such as "wild survival", "detection", "listening" and "hide". Some of these skills are only one or two levels, but after high attribute bonuses, they can be used immediately.
And this is even more true for Evening Star, she is a person who has no barriers in her heart.
When she was a child, she lived in the forest and needed to fight wild beasts and protect her territory, so she learned swordsmanship, animal communication, and became a ranger. When she helped others, she hoped to heal their illnesses, so she prayed to Ms. Elona, and the goddess generously gave her magical powers. When she expected to help farmers take care of their fields, she also prayed to Lady Alona, and the goddess guided her to master the use of the power of nature.
It can be said that she is Lady Elona's beloved daughter, pampered to the extent that even God's chosen people are jealous.
When she met Lu Yuan this time, she quickly learned a lot of zero-level spells from Lu Yuan, such as mage's hand, lighting, phantom sound, etc., because she found them very useful - "hold things without using your hands!" You don’t need candles for lighting!” “You don’t need to open your mouth to speak!”
When it comes to adventurers in Faerûn in the wild, they basically eat dry food and barbecue. If you can simmer mushrooms, biltong, and crumbled bread into a hot pot of soup, you're a master chef! It will trigger the effect of "all members will die generously" - "After eating this meal, it will be worth dying immediately!"
So, when Lu Yuan cooked a pot of soup using wild vegetables, mushrooms, rabbit meat, beans and spices from the magic ingredients, and fried the eggs and pork chops on a hot stone slab, Duixing stared unblinkingly at the side. He was standing there, sucking saliva without any image, like a greedy little girl. After that, it's "Lu Yuan's Kitchen" teaching time. There is no condition for frying or frying, but it is absolutely fine to eat in different ways.
Even the barley used to grind flour and bake bread can be steamed by Lu Yuan until it is soft and sweet. The leftover barley rice can be made into fried rice, and the fried base can be used to stick crispy rice... Crispy rice is very important to Evening Star. The appeal is beyond imagination. Alas, the poor kid who has never eaten potato chips.
By the way, the teachings of the Forest Goddess do not prohibit the hunting of animals, but the prohibition of unnecessary killing. Asking for food in the forest is considered a natural thing. Specific to the Evening Star Girl, cats and canines are absolutely prohibited, other types of animals are allowed in moderation, and snakes and bugs are to be killed as far as possible!
It seems that childhood still has a lot of shadow.
