Chapter 1238 A Perfect Excuse
Lila basked in the sun, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Because this was the first time she encountered such a situation.
How come I was suddenly enveloped by sunlight?
And it's not daytime now! It's night!
Frank was also a little confused.
Why does Lila look like she has super evolved?
After seeing this scene, the villagers knelt down and begged for mercy, believing that this was the manifestation of the Goddess of Light.
However, the truth is that the goddess of light really appeared...
Galina has been watching all this, and she has actually seen that many people are accomplices of the evil under her name.
But to put it nicely, the goddess is called God, but in fact she is not much different from ordinary people.
She also couldn't handle things as she wished, and she was helpless when she encountered many things.
This resulted in her having to watch things happen most of the time.
Even though the Papal States had completely returned to her hands.
She wanted to transform the Papal States, but found herself unable to face her own people.
Because of her imprisonment, the Papal States has completely become another country during the thousands of years that Irina has controlled it.
The defeat made the people of the Papal States realize that no matter which god they believed in, they could not be invincible forever.
And believing in a God is just to make your life better.
But the problem is that neither Irina nor Galina could bring them a rich life.
Although on the surface those missionaries were promoting the goodness of the Papal States, even before the Battle of Kursk, the lower class people in the Papal States still lived worse than dogs.
Now that the war has been lost, the Papal State is sharing the consequences of the defeat with everyone.
However, what is funny is that in the treaty of defeat, Lyon did not target ordinary people at all.
Those so-called mineral resources and war reparations.
It was made according to the authority of the Papal States.
They have abundant resources and wealth, and a defeat treaty will drain all of their resources away.
In fact, even if they handed over their resources, they would still be able to survive.
It’s just that I can’t live a life of debauchery and enjoyment like before.
But these people did not want to end it there. They were unwilling to pay compensation, so they chose to inflict the bitter consequences of defeat on everyone.
Let everyone bear the consequences of their wrong decisions.
And after the mines were established, the minerals occupied by Dayan brought countless jobs to the citizens of the surrounding Papal States.
Therefore, many civilians in the Papal States never curse Dayan.
They will only think that Dayan is a powerful country that is bullying the weak.
But these civilians seem to have forgotten that they were the ones who started the war...
Dayan used enough jobs to at least save some civilians from starving to death.
These civilians were reluctant at first because they believed that Dayan must have bad intentions in opening a mine on their land.
However, time has proved everything within these three years.
Dayan Mine has changed from monthly salary in the beginning to weekly salary now.
And the people were given two choices: either take money or take food.
Especially at this time, when food prices are skyrocketing and most people are starving.
The mines in Dayan still offer grain as wages, and the value of the grain is calculated based on the price before the price increase.
A miner can earn about ten silver coins a month.
Converted into grain, it is 1000 kilograms of rice.
In fact, ten silver coins can buy 2 to 3 kilograms of rice in Da Yan.
However, these grains were transported from the mainland, and before the air route was opened, they basically relied on the East-West Railway.
The transportation capacity is limited, so the price of these grains has increased to 1 copper coin per pound.
But this is not much different from the previous local grain prices.
In an instant, the mine's reputation improved.
But some starving civilians did not fight back, but instead reached out to the weak.
The reason why many civilians live a mediocre life is not because they are incapable, but because they only know how to swing their swords at weaker people.
Is there any famous person in history who did not go against the current?
Rebellion, do you have the courage to rebel?
Do you have the courage to leave your name in history?
To put it bluntly, he is a coward at heart!
The mine continued to distribute food, resulting in many people squatting at the mine gate every day waiting for an opportunity to take food home as soon as workers came.
They would then be surrounded by a group of people, their food would be stolen and the workers would be beaten.
Some ruthless people even choose to beat the workers to disability, so that the mine will recruit more people...
But they thought the mine owner was too kind.
Who is the boss of the mine? A Da Yan person!
The mine owner saw that his employees were robbed at the gate of his mine and their limbs were broken.
The warlike gene engraved in his bones made him overturn the table in an instant.
The mine owner called the consulate directly, and the Dayan Consulate decisively chose to withdraw some mercenaries from the East Continent.
Although mercenaries cannot be compared with the Wehrmacht, it is still easy for them to guard a mine.
In order to prevent the workers from being robbed, the mine owner allowed the workers to deposit their wages in the mine. They could take a small amount of food back home every day or ask people from the village to come and get it.
This approach was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
But the mine owner was not happy about this, his face became even gloomier.
Because he knew that if the problem was not solved at its root, neither the mercenaries nor the National Defense Forces would be able to suppress this group of vicious criminals...
In the village.
The villagers kowtowed to Lira three times and nine times, and Frank, who was standing aside, took the opportunity to stand up.
"You are a bunch of ignorant civilians! Your actions have offended the goddess, and the goddess has sent down an oracle and chosen Lila as the saint!
She will be the new Pope of the Papal States! She will lead you to overthrow Holderis' rule and feed everyone!"
Frank's words stunned everyone present.
Including Lila, she was also confused by Frank's words.
Only Frank understood that this was a great opportunity and a great excuse!
The Papal States needs someone to stand up, and this is my mission.
But I feel a little sorry for Lira...
Looking at Lira being kowtowed to by everyone, Frank was full of apologies.
Once we have formed an army, I will send you to Da Yan...
(Good night( ????_???? )?)
