Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"Excuse me, I'm Derekte, a student of General Xililuoang. I'm following the teacher's order to send you the books I brought from the north. Please have a look."

Derekte didn't wear a military uniform today, he just changed into a traditional robe and casual clothes, bowed slightly and walked in.Derekte is different from his senior Dong Tuote. He doesn't pay much attention to military appearance, and he can wear military uniforms on various occasions. In his eyes, doing his best for the empire is not determined by a suit of clothes. Yes, as long as you are sincerely for the empire in your heart, it doesn't matter if you are dressed in rags.

"Ah, Derekt, please sit down, please sit down." Aldrich took out the pen and paper and heaved a sigh of relief. Captain Derekt is also an old acquaintance. Expressed interest in modern books in the north, all the generals in the military department began to work on Aldrich's preferences, and they all started to contact the troops who were still in the north. Books of Mu, Ossus, or Asekchan.Most of these are the credit of King Edward. He only needs to drag the hotel waiter to buy a lot of books back, and then openly accept the bribes from the generals to pack these books that don’t cost a few silver coins. Go back and earn the difference.

It wasn't the first time that Derekte came back to deliver books. General Siriloon attached great importance to King Aldrich, and wanted to establish a good relationship with the commander of the Northern Army with a strong family background.After going back and forth, Derekte is also very familiar with Aldrich, at least in the eyes of Aldrich, Derekte is different from his teacher Sirilon or the scholar Dongtot. He is a person who knows how to think and will not Always think about problems from the perspective of a soldier, but can consider many longer-term places.

"Heavenly King, are you taking notes again? What book is it? The History of Asaik? Or the Chronicle of Ossus?" Derekte sat down and handed the beautifully packaged book to Queen Aldrich and asked curiously.

"Neither, it's just a pamphlet about Yongdalim, nothing important." King Aldrich said with a laugh.

"I have benefited a lot from you. Your wisdom is something I have never seen, at least I haven't seen it from the teachers in the military academy." Derekte said respectfully again.

"Thank you." Aldrich rubbed his hands and thought for a moment before continuing to ask:

"Derekt, would you like to chat with me about something? For example, let me talk to you about the country?"

384 The Two Roads of the Empire

"What are you talking about? Lord Heavenly King?" Derekt immediately asked in awe, straightening his waist and putting his hands on his knees.

"Ah, don't be so nervous, it's not necessary, it's not necessary, let's just chat casually, that's all." Aldridge said, waving his hands again and again.

"Derekt, I want to ask, have you read the books sent from the north?" Aldrich asked again.

"No, I haven't opened your book, Heavenly King." Derekte quickly explained in surprise.

"Really? Then why do I have a book that has been turned over?" King Aldrich laughed.

"Impossible, I read it with gloves on! It has never been dirty!" Derekt argued hastily.

"It's exposed!" King Aldrich said with a big laugh.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Tianwang. If there is any damage to the book, I would like to make up for you, Tianwang." Derekt was relieved to see that Tianwang was not angry, and quickly admitted his mistake and apologized.

"Reading is a good thing. Many officers like you can't calm down and read books. Reading these books that have nothing to do with the military gives you a headache. Derekt, if you want to read in the future, feel free to come to me. You can read these books at will. Just read and borrow whatever you want." Aldrich, the king of heaven, admired Derekte more and more, and said that he took two books from the shelf behind him and put them in front of Derekte.

"Have you read this book on the history of the Asekshan country?"

"I have seen it, but only browsed it once, not all of it."

"What about the Chronicle of the Ossus Empire?"

"Because of time constraints, I skipped through this book..."

"I see." Aldridge nodded again.

"Then how do you feel after reading the history of the country of Asekshan?" Aldrich asked curiously again.

"Feeling? What do you mean?"

"In various aspects, you can talk about any aspect. For example, compared with our Holy Empire, how is their Principality?"

"It's very similar, but not quite the same." Derekt replied after a moment of silence.

"Which aspect is similar, and which aspect is not like?"

"If you talk about the country as a whole, I think Asaikeshan's country is a bit special. Asaikeshan has been expanding its armaments in order to pursue the unification of the Maro Empire. The vast majority of the principality, at least [-]% of its money, has been spent on military expansion. It can be said that, apart from providing the nobles with pleasure and military use, the country's money basically has no assistance for the common people of the country." Derekte said.

"It's not so much special as it is like our Holy Empire." Aldrich said casually.

"In their entire country, except for the farmers who work in the fields, almost all men must obey the orders of the army and prepare to become soldiers to fill the vacancies. If there are no vacancies, they can consider doing other jobs. Why did they become like this? I wonder I feel that one is that they have always longed to unify Marlowe, and the other is that the surrounding countries have to strengthen their military force. The most important point should be that they have to do this." Derekte continued.

"Why do you have to?" King Aldrich caught the point and asked Derekt quickly.

"After nearly a hundred years of fighting, it is estimated that they just want to reduce the army, or shift their focus elsewhere. This is an important place for their interests. Disarmament or shifting direction will cause the interests of many people to be damaged. It is estimated that it is because This, they finally became like this, a nation of soldiers serving the army." Derekte said with a sigh.

"That's true." Aldrich said meaningfully.

"Then do you think the state of the Ossus Empire is healthier than that of Asek?" Aldrich asked again.

"The situation in the Ossus Empire is actually not optimistic. Compared with the Principality of Asekshan, it can only be said to be half a catty. The Emperor of the Ossus Empire has a lot of control over the army, which can ensure that the army and officials obey him, even Even the nobles will not sing against him. But the problem is that their country is too vast, and there are countless ethnic groups in the empire, as well as corruption and cruelty to farmers within the country..."

"Cruel exploitation, isn't it?" Aldridge said immediately.

"Yes, that's what it means. I originally intended to say cruel squeeze, but your word seems to be better." Derekte said with a smile.

"You continue to talk, I'm still listening." Aldrich said with a gesture.

"Because of the corruption of the country and the squeeze on the bottom, peasant riots and national riots broke out in their country that cannot be counted by two hands. According to my opinion, if this continues, the rule of the Ossus Empire will definitely not last long , They will eventually collapse under a slight chain, just like a group of Austrian wolves repeatedly attacking an Orika beast. Before that, Orika might be able to defeat the attacks of those Austrian wolves by virtue of its size and its tentacles. But at the last time, he was about to collapse from exhaustion, and he only needed a light bite from the Austrian wolf, and he was about to meet the demon god."

"Then what do you think is the best way for the country?" Aldrich asked urgently.

"If an empire or a big country wants to continue to develop steadily, at least its upper-level political situation cannot be as deformed as a mutant beast. Its framework must be stable, and it must ensure that the army can defend the country. Or beat the enemy hard, and ensure that most compatriots can enjoy the benefits of the stability of the empire, so that everyone deeply recognizes the empire. At the same time, the empire cannot be as corrupt as the Ossus Empire. He must coordinate the relationship between all compatriots, You can’t be unfair.”

"Deformed regimes are terrifying, such as the Principality of Asekshan and the Ossus Empire. They can maintain their strength and majesty now, but if the fists that hit the weak are hit, their fears will soon be wiped out by the witches. The demon was knocked down with one punch." Derekte also concentrated his body and said while gesticulating.

"I don't think that serving the country can be solved by joining the army, nor can it be solved by shouting and fighting. At least if we can solve the situation where one fist is big and the other is shrinking, it will be no less Yu Yitong will also be the pillar of the empire." After hesitating for a moment, Derekte still spit out his own point of view, staring at King Aldrich and said.

"We're talking about the Ossus Empire, aren't we?" Aldrich asked with a smile.

"Yes, King of Heaven, we are talking about the Ossus Empire." Derekte also said with a smile.

"I have a book, do you want to read it?" Sky King Aldrich suddenly asked mysteriously.

"I will read any book you give me." Derekte replied heartily.

"That's good, come here a few more times when you have time, let's continue to discuss this northern issue." King Aldrich stood up and said with a smile.

"After a few more discussions, I will consider showing you a good book. Believe me, child, this is definitely a good book, and you will be fascinated by it."

......

"Logistics will be transported from the main cities in the rear, and then they will be escorted by warships to the front line and delivered to the positions through the waterway. We have prepared for defense along the waterway, and we have also sent additional sailors to escort and protect the food transport troops with heavy troops. The enemy's attack. It can be said that as long as the Southeast Army wants to attack and raid our ration logistics, they will definitely have their lives come and go."

Marshal Alkun took the pole and explained to Lao Yuan who was sitting in the middle of the big tent. Because he was on the front line in person, Lao Yuan specially changed back to his white marshal uniform to command the front line.There are 15 brave soldiers camped on the entire Nanjiang River, confronting the [-] Northern Expeditionary Army on the other side.With so many soldiers, their food, drink, and ammunition supply are all big problems. For this reason, Marshal Alkun, one of the five marshals of the empire, was ordered by the old Yuan to protect the logistics desperately. Combat goes hand in hand, even more so than head-on combat.

Lao Yuan is still experienced in this area. He attaches great importance to logistics and understands how terrible the consequences will be if the army is cut off.The 15 troops had already entered the southeast territory, and if they wanted to retreat, they had to cross several large rivers. If they retreated for other reasons, it would be a huge catastrophe, which Lao Yuan could never bear.Therefore, under the dispatch of Lao Yuan, the Brave Army brought back 2 people from the front line to defend the line along the river, specifically to protect the safety of the logistics.

"Al Kun, you and your 2 people must protect the food and grass, and ensure that the food can be transported to my front line smoothly." Lao Yuan stood up and ordered with his hands behind his back.

"I obey Your Majesty." Al Kun stood at attention and replied with a salute.

"Other generals must step up their preparations for crossing the river. When my Luna and Guangmingshen arrive at the front line in ten days, all troops must immediately prepare to cross the river, break through the Nanjiang River, and then tear through the defensive positions of the Northern Expeditionary Army and capture the capital behind them in one fell swoop. Guangming City." Lao Yuan looked at the map and sneered.

"Your Majesty, the Nanjiang River is more than [-] meters wide. If there are not enough warships to cover it, our army may suffer heavy casualties. If we only rely on artillery support and two warships for cover, our army will have to lose a lot of soldiers to break through." Marshal Angore also came over and said.

"The enemy has built many fortresses and trenches on the banks of the Nanjiang River, and also destroyed several important piers to prevent our army from breaking through. If we want to break through, we can only concentrate warships and artillery to blast a hole first. Then send heavy troops across and fight on the south bank. Gradually expand the front on the other side, only in this way may we be able to break through the Nanjiang River and continue to wipe out the rebels." Marshal Angore continued.

"Don't be so troublesome. It's actually very simple to break through the Nanjiang River. I have my own way to let our army break through. You probably forgot that I am a brave man, not a weak scholar." He smiled and said to the generals.

"It is planned to be on June [-]st. On that day, the whole army must be ready to break through as soon as [-]:[-] p.m. This time, I must completely wipe out the rebels in the southeast."

385 spring planting a seed

If you ask what is the cutest thing in the world, it is undoubtedly labor.Labor is the foundation of society, and it covers everything, including farming, weaving, manufacturing, picking, transportation, and so on.Countless workers form the basic unit of society, and their daily labor ensures the smooth operation of society.At the bottom of this huge pyramid, they have endured layer after layer of oppression for thousands of years, lived a difficult life under layers of exploitation, and spent their lives hastily and dullly.

If a seed is planted and one hundred catties of wheat grows, the farmer can get thirty catties, which is considered good.In peacetime, in the early days of Yondalim's founding, this figure may still reach between 60.00% and [-]%.The first king of Yongdalim worked hard to govern. He not only gave farmers land for the first time in the land of Yongdalim, but also ended the noble manor system that had lasted for thousands of years, and encouraged people of non-noble origin to enter the officialdom to participate in political discussions .During his reign, he realized the centralized power over most parts of the country, and completely integrated the southeast, central south, and western east with the rule of the kingdom. Since then, they have been inseparable, and there is no longer any local noble autonomy.

It's a pity that the kingdom won by Yong Dalim I and the first generation of brave men did not last well.As Yong Dalim I died of a lung infection at the age of 50, and the first generation of braves also passed away due to the recurrence of the old wounds of the early wars, the kingdom began to change rapidly again, but this time it was not forward, but forward. Fast forward.

Yongdalim II can also check and balance the contradiction between the power of local aristocrats and the power of emerging officials, maintain the balance of the kingdom and continue to maintain a stable rule.But when it came to his second son, Yongdalim III, the kingdom began to turn from standing still to retreating, and it has been out of control since then, and it has become what it is today.

The local aristocrats started land annexation and local control, regained the initiative in the local area, forced the former officials to cooperate with them, or could only shrink in the big cities, and obtained a Barely acceptable amount to collect taxes.Nearly half of the officials in the royal capital have become nobles again. Under the combined actions of these people, the kingdom once again began to lose control over the provinces. The three northern provinces can almost only be entrusted to local nobles, and the southwestern province has directly become a noble. The Grand Duke's world.

Although the other two provinces and places can still receive His Majesty's orders very quickly, and officials can still go to the fields to investigate the specific situation.But the powerful nobles in these places have become increasingly powerful, and it is no longer His Majesty's order that can quickly make the whole province obey.Every majesty must think before and after when ordering, and think about the feasibility of the order.This was the case before the Continental War, not to mention after the Continental War.It is becoming more and more obvious that the local nobles are in control of power. Except for the Southeast and Central South provinces, His Majesty's will can be carried out. It is difficult for His Majesty's orders to go out of the Central Province.

It just so happened that the kingdom was in turmoil again, and the aristocratic interference in the Ivan period became the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely igniting the long-standing conflict between the aristocrats and the bourgeoisie.Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, monster tides, severe droughts, floods, locust plagues, one after another.The peasants are thankful that they can keep two-tenths of their food. In this cruel era, labor is so cheap that it is so cheap that even living is a luxury. It is so cheap that a day's labor may not be replaced. A piece of black bread.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and when I look at the magical land of Yongdalim, especially when I set my sights on the Central South, everything has changed.

For the first time in history, the workers straightened their backs. Whether they are farmers, workers, handicraftsmen, or other laboring people, they can finally stand upright and walk, and go through life with pride and happiness. Every day, to welcome a new era.It was from this moment that the workers finally no longer had to worry about going hungry or having no food to eat.They can finally proudly announce loudly that labor is the cutest!

"As far as our country's current social situation is concerned, the current three northern provinces, the western region, and the central province are still in the midst of cruel feudal exploitation and oppression. The compatriots there are still living in poverty, and their lives are as poor as ever. Not even enough to buy bread."

A plainly dressed teacher held a simple printed textbook in one hand and a stone pencil in the other and said to more than 30 students below.Today's class was supposed to be about history, but because today is a very special day, the teacher simply changed it to talk about the modern situation, and went to give the students a vivid political class.

"In Central Province, many workers start working at five o'clock in the morning every day, and have to work until it is dark at seven o'clock in the evening before they can rest. They do heavy physical work, but their monthly wages are less than twenty copper coins. Some other places It may even cost fifteen copper coins. Students, teacher, I am from Central Province, and you probably don’t know or have experienced the situation there.” The teacher smiled and said to the students.

"I used to work as a transport worker in Jinping City. In those days, I had to get up at four o'clock every day, and I couldn't rest until nine o'clock in the evening. We often started working at night with a candle, moving goods back and forth, One hundred catties of things are resisted against the body, and one resistance lasts for a day. That's how we can only get eighteen copper coins a month, and we have to pay taxes. We have to pay taxes for everything we do in the city. We have to solve the 'emergency' 'That's all taxable. After deducting all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in a month, the only thing you can get is fourteen copper coins."

The teacher recalled the life in Jinping City back then. During that time, people felt extremely depressed and painful. Every day was spent in repeated heavy physical labor. You can only go home when you are quiet.In this way, I can only get eighteen copper coins in a month. If eighteen copper coins are enough to support myself, but if I want to support my family, it is just like a joke.

"Teachers also have parents. At that time, the teacher also had to support the family. Children, the fourteen copper coins, not to mention the water money, salt money, and other daily necessities to buy, just want to ensure that the family can eat every meal. Problem. Many things in the city are unavoidable expenditures, even if my family of three is working, there is also a lack of food and rice, and I have to look down and beg for help from time to time."

"Because of this, we must learn knowledge well, use knowledge to change Yongdalim, and let the compatriots in various places in Yongdalim live the same life as us. We must overthrow the imperial devils and eliminate all exploitation. Drive out from Yongdalim. At that time, thousands of working compatriots will have to straighten their backs and be human, and they will no longer have to worry about food and clothing. Students, this is the ultimate goal of your studies. Everyone stood up like us, instead of getting promoted and getting rich, riding on everyone's head."

The bell for the end of get out of class just rang at this time, and the teacher suddenly showed a comfortable smile. He put away his textbooks, took one last look at these lovely children and said:

"I'm going to the Southwest to support education tomorrow. The students should not see me for a long time. Everyone must study hard and don't delay the homework."

"Goodbye, classmates."

"goodbye teacher!"

"Teacher, take care!"

The students stood up one after another to persuade Teacher Matthew to stay, and handed over the letter in their hands to the teacher as a parting memorial.Even though he was reluctant to give up, Teacher Matthew walked out of the classroom surrounded by his classmates, and walked out of the school together after school.Young Matthew has been teaching in this elementary school for two years, and he is considered one of the earliest teachers in this school.With the end of the War of Liberation in the Southwest, the Southwest Province is now in urgent need of reconstruction. There is a shortage of people in all walks of life, and they all need Zhongnan to send a helping hand to support and build the Southwest Province, which has always been closed.

The same is true for education. In the Southwest Construction Plan, Southwest Province will also build a new university, four middle schools and six primary schools for education construction.Liberation must start from the baby, and many teachers also decided to go to the southwest to support the construction under the call, and go there to teach and educate people.Matthew also signed up under the mobilization of the school branch. In his eyes, he should go there where he is needed. Today he is in Central South, and tomorrow he will go to the newly liberated Southwest. The day after tomorrow, even if he goes there, the conditions will be even worse. In other places, he will also resolutely sign up without hesitation.

"Teacher Matthew!"

Several farmers had been waiting at the gate early, and when they saw Mr. Matthew coming out of the school, they waved excitedly. They trotted over or carried a basket or a small bag.These are the parents of the students, and it just so happens that today is Saturday and the students have their fortnightly holiday.The lesson that Matthew had just now was also the last lesson, but it was just a very common last lesson. It is estimated that he will have countless last lessons in his life.

"I heard that you are going to teach in the Southwest. There are many mountains and poor places there. You can take this with you. It can be regarded as our parents' love for you."

A short man took out a piece of soft bread from the basket and said to Mr. Matthew, other parents also took out all kinds of food from the bag, including dried chili, eggs, and the very cherished pickled fish.Parents still admire this teacher Matthew very much. Matthew often helps students in their daily life. He will use his salary to help students buy books and books to read, or solve some difficulties for students.Such a good teacher is now going to the Southwest to support the construction. To do such a glorious thing, if they don't give away, it will be too cold.

"Keep it, comrades, keep it. It's not like I won't be unable to eat when I go there. Everyone keeps these things to replenish the children's bodies. They are still growing and need them more than me." Teacher Matthew refused with a smile road.

"Children are the future of the country. As long as they can grow up vigorously, I will be happier than any comrades can give me. Goodbye comrades, goodbye children." Matthew touched a student hair, said earnestly.

386 Autumn Harvest Wanlihong

"Teacher, you have never been to the southwest side. There are many mountains there, and it is not convenient to walk. If you go there to teach, it will be difficult to come back. In this way, we comrades will send you a ride, just a few dry bread, Just accept the salted fish with eggs, and treat it as our tuition fee." The short comrade shouted again.

"We don't charge tuition fees in education, especially in primary schools. As long as you are willing to send your children, we will provide free education and teach them to read, write, and understand knowledge. Comrade, your argument does not convince me, I I won’t accept it.” Teacher Matthew said with a smile.

"Mr. Matthew, then take this pen of mine. You must use a pen for teaching, and you will always need to use this. It will also be able to better educate the children over there." A person who just got off work The worker comrade who hurried over also took out the gift he had prepared and sincerely handed it to Teacher Matthew and said.

"That can't be done. This is a very valuable thing, and I can't accept it. You keep it, and let little Ross use it after he is admitted to middle school." Teacher Matthew continued to refuse.

"You have to take something to go, right? You don't want to be expensive, but you have to be talented. If you go with a quilt empty-handed, won't the people in the southwest laugh at us? Bieber also spread his hands and asked.

"Me, of course I brought something with me." Teacher Matthew said with a smile.

"These, I will take some will be enough."

Teacher Matthew took out the letters that the students gave him just now from the bag and proudly displayed them. These are the things he cherishes most.Many things cannot be measured by money, such as the sincere feelings of the students and the rewards he got after his hard work.In the past few years, many teachers have been working harder and harder to teach, and even wish they could stay in school 24 hours a day and never leave.

Many of the teachers were tutors who were trainee magicians in the old days. At that time, they were looked down upon by many people, not to mention their salary.The double lack of material wealth and spiritual wealth is what those teachers used to treat.But once the Leszek government was established, everything changed drastically.The government attaches great importance to education. It first allocates funds to build schools, and then hires these old teachers with wages comparable to those of workers to solve their material life problems.

Material life has been resolved, and spiritual life has also undergone major changes.Under the imperceptible promotion of countless party members and village collective cadres, the status of teachers is no longer as humble as before.The respectful and knowledge-seeking eyes of the students make them feel worthwhile more than anything else. Everything has changed a lot. Who said that Leszek will attack educated people? Is the current life compared with the old life? Is it worse?Every teacher is well aware of this issue, and understands exactly what democracy is, and what is the path that Yongdalim should take.

There was such an old teacher who proudly said in class that I have been teaching since I was 20 years old and have been teaching until now. I have been a tutor for 30 years. Over the past 30 years, I have been a tutor for countless people, but only here can I feel that I have found the meaning of life, and my life has never been the same.The previous 30 years seemed to be a waste of time, but now I feel fulfilled and happy.Here is where the real development of Yongdalim's education career takes place.

"What a great teacher." Bieber stood at the door together with other students' parents, looking at the disappearing back of Teacher Matthew and sighed.

"I can't wait to see the whole of Yondalim liberated." A parent suddenly said with his arms akimbo.

"Look at what you said, it seems that everyone is not in a hurry."

"Yeah, who doesn't look forward to that day? Who doesn't look forward to the day when the emperor will be kicked out?"

"I plan to work harder this month, trying to be rated as an advanced laborer by the factory and get a small red flag. I was very excited when I saw teachers and many workers going to the Southwest to support me. If my daughter was not still in school, I also went to the Southwest together, and we will make a big contribution together.”

"Then it's difficult for you. I have to compete with you to get an advancement. Some time ago when the Southwest was liberated, I was working at full speed. The comrades in the workshop forced me to take vacations. I have decided on this advancement."

"You guys think so beautifully. During that time, the old comrades in our workshop successfully persuaded the factory manager to get a support quota for our workshop. During that time, the workers in our workshop were rushing to work. The quantity produced There must be more than your workshop."

"In our case, our work will be rated as excellent and advanced, but if it is in the north, our hard work today will probably only become the bottom line in the eyes of the bourgeoisie the next day."

"The days are really getting better and better. The Liberation War has been fought for three years. Ever since the aristocratic bourgeoisie were kicked out by us, everyone's life has become better day by day. That is to say, it is tighter during the war, and all the surplus food has to be sold together. Many things have to be distributed and purchased. But compared with the past, it is really a world."

Bieber shook his head with his hands folded and smiled emotionally. In the past three years, one farmer after another has escaped from the difficult life of the past, with the help of the village collective and farming on private plots.Zhongnan's industrial products and many daily necessities are sold at a reasonable price in the territory, which is enough to ensure that every family can afford the daily needs of life.That is to say, every time the war of liberation starts, all surplus grain must be uniformly purchased by the state, and industrial products and daily necessities must also be distributed and purchased according to demand.For the peasants, even comparing the most tense period of the Southwest Liberation War stalemate with the old days, it is enough to call it land and hell.

"How wonderful." Another comrade also touched his child's hair and said.

"This is the life that people should live."
