Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country! - Chapter 466 Step 1 of the cultural offensive

Tonya Clark is a citizen of Idar living in the province of Stein and a believer in the Church of Light.

And long before the royal flag of the Poulsen family of the Basel royal family landed, he had a lot of intersections with the Idars in his own life.

after all……

As the territory once belonged to the Duke of Stein, before Idar's army conquered this land, this piece of land that was originally located at the southernmost tip of the Kingdom of Basel has almost become a favorite trial site for Idar CIA agents.

Thanks to the constant penetration of the Idar agents and the surrender of the nobility of the southern base of Basel, the intelligence of the Kingdom of Basel can be regarded as one-way transparent for the Duchy of Idar!

A large number of Idar merchants, Idar agents, and Idar craftsmen walked on this land, and large plantations operated by the Idar Chamber of Commerce spread all over the coast of the province of Stein.

From the Duke of Stein down,

Basel nobles, big and small,

In the candid exchanges with the Idar agents, I was impressed by the tall and stalwart personality of the Idar people, and was willing to be a pioneer, "voluntarily" contributing his own strength to the development of the Idar Principality.

so……

In a sense,

Stan Province, located in the southeast of the mainland, is actually the one with the strongest control and administrative capacity of the Principality of Idar among these newly established provinces.

As the first batch of civilians who came into contact with the ideology of the Principality of Idar, the local people have long been accustomed to the existence of the Idars.

Many of them, including Tonya Clark, worked directly for the Idars, working in the plantations operated by the Idar Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the local people will naturally not have any resistance to these Idars who have provided them with a source of livelihood.

There is no such thing as "loyal to the emperor and serving the country" in this era, but the idea that "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal" is prevailing in this era.

It can be said,

Except for the Duchy of Idar,

It is only contracts and oaths that maintain the relationship of rights and obligations between vassals and lords.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between power and duty. Apart from that, there is no half a dime relationship between a lord and a vassal.

And since even these nobles, who value honor and face, have never had a decent national identity, ordinary people who need to worry about food and clothing will naturally not have feelings similar to this.

So that a few months ago,

When Tonya Clark first heard that the Idar army had broken through the Royal City of Basel... his whole heart was filled with an unspeakable excitement.

no way,

As a civilian living in the province of Stein, his frequent contact with the Idars enabled him to learn too many rumors about the Principality of Idar.

Although he is also a believer in the Church of Illumination, at the same time, everything about the Duchy of Idar fascinates him.

The Idar Chamber of Commerce implements the same working system as the Idar Principality in its plantations.

It was in the plantation that made him sweat, Tonya Clarke realized for the first time...civilians can also have dreams, and civilians can also enjoy the changes brought about by magic!

As Idar's army strode across this land, these dreams that he had never even dared to expect before, have gradually become reality bit by bit!

only……

As a believer in the Church of Light, while feeling the changes brought about by the Principality of Idar... Tonya Clark was also suffering in his heart.

To be honest, what the Principality of Idar is doing today is actually similar to the heavenly dynasty described in the teachings of the Church of Light, and even has some similarities.

However……

As the most powerful force in the eastern part of the empire, the Principality of Idar regards the Church of Illumination as a deadly enemy!

Even though Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, never said clearly,

But……

Everyone is not a fool!

After Idar's army conquered this land, what was the first thing to do? Is it to take care of the nobles who live in this land?

No! of course not!

What the Idars did first,

It is to encircle all the churches on this land, pack all the clergy of the Bright Church that still exists on this land, and take them away, and then throw them into the Bastille on the Plain of Valence!

What is the religion prevailing in the Principality of Idar?

There is no doubt that it is Protestant!

Even Duke Idar himself is the guardian of the Protestant faith!

only……

For this church that was born in the eastern part of the empire, the Bright Church called it rebellion and heresy!

It is precisely because of this that not only Tonya Clark himself, but also the hearts of most of the believers of the Bright Church living in this land, have an extremely complex emotion.

On the one hand, they recognized the rule of the Principality of Idar, but on the other hand, they felt very contradictory because their beliefs were contrary to the mainstream beliefs of the Principality of Idar.

Although in Bruno's view, the more secularized Protestantism obviously has to be more in line with the needs of ordinary people.

But the problem is...

In many cases, especially with regard to religious beliefs, it is not that reasonable and reasonable can be easily accepted by people.

Nothing else,

It is very difficult to get hundreds of thousands of people to give up the faith they have held for countless years.

And even though Bruno had a lot of "master scrubbers" like Mike in his hands, before that, the Principality of Idar had imposed extremely strict restrictions on the number of clergy.

If it is placed in the past, on weekdays, the scale of hundreds of people is actually quite enough.

But if it is placed now...

Ok,

Hundreds of people and hundreds of thousands,

Such an arduous task of washing the ground cannot be easily accomplished in a short period of time. It is precisely because of this,

There will be countless civilians like Tonya Clark, who are suffering from the violent collision of two concepts.

Bruno Stuart, the Duke of Idar, regards such a large number of church members as an important factor that may affect the internal stability of the Principality of Idar.

indeed,

At this time, they are feeling the changes in the Principality of Idar, and are obeying the orders from the Idar Council, but... what will happen in the future?

No one can tell what's going on in the future! No one is sure!

...

October 7, 539 in the new calendar.

For Tonya Clark, this should have been a very ordinary day.

However……

Just as he left his home with enthusiasm and, as in the past, walking on the road to work on the plantation, he saw a young newsboy rushing towards him:

"Uncle Tonia, would you like to buy a picture album?"

The boy carrying a cloth bag and selling newspapers was named Arthur, the son of Aunt Stephanie in the village next door.

Perhaps it was because he had no father a few years ago and lacked food and clothing on weekdays, so it was taken care of by the people.

As the Duke of Idar decided to popularize spelling and reading aloud education, little Arthur basically used the morning time to sell newspapers and the day time to go to school.

Although life is still tight, but somehow there is hope.

only……

Little Arthur's performance today made Tonya slightly surprised.

"Oh, little Arthur, you know, Uncle Tonya can't spell, let alone read aloud, and those letters and words have never been willing to let me know."

Hearing Arthur's words, Tonya couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, and said to little Arthur: "What is said in the newspaper today?"

"This is not a newspaper! It is a picture album!"

Hearing this, Arthur corrected it very seriously.

"Picture album?"

"Well! There are no words in it. They are all very good pictures, telling many different stories, even Uncle Tonya can understand!" Little Arthur explained.

Can you... actually understand it?

The few words of little Arthur seemed to inadvertently poke the fragility buried deep in Tonya's heart.

Shouldn't the civilians be unlearned? Common people don’t deserve to spell and read aloud?

In the past,

Tonya certainly had a dream when he was young, and he also thought about learning spelling to understand the wider world.

However……

The cruel reality slapped him with a big mouth.

Still learning spelling?

Is it just you ass?

During the years when this land was ruled by the Poulsen family, the life of the common people could not be said to be living and working in peace, at least it could be said to be hungry and cold.

In the past where even the most basic food and clothing became an extravagant hope, where did common people have the conditions to learn spelling?

Even if the food and clothing are solved...

Spelling and reading aloud are also nobles,

And the things that can be learned only by the nobles' close attendants and close friends.

What right does a pariah like Tonya, who eats from the mud, have the right to expect this?

so……

Can't spell, can't read aloud, this is a great part of the common people, hidden regrets in their hearts.

And now,

Little Arthur told himself that he could read the booklet!

Although it is just a picture album,

But in the eyes of ordinary people, the kind of things carried by paper and ink has an unusual meaning in itself.

"how much?"

Almost without hesitation, Tonya opened his pocket without hesitation.

This is not only to help Arthur's hard life, but also to satisfy Tonia's hesitation in his heart.

To know,

The Idar people start their wages, they never exploit layer by layer, nor do they try their best to deduct them. Therefore, workers like him who work for the Idar people in the plantation can often get a lot of money. Salary.

It is not a difficult decision to buy a picture album because of a moment of excitement.

"It's not expensive at all, it only costs three yuan."

Little Arthur paused, and added: "Only the latest version of Idar dollars, coins or banknotes are fine."

Heard that,

Tonya hardly hesitated, so he paid the money quickly and took over the picture album in the hands of little Arthur.

Walking on the side of the wide road, Tonya opened the book with no words curiously, and then... a continuous picture suddenly caught his eye.

Yes,

Because of the knowledge of the province of Stein, most of the policies implemented by the Idar Council on these newly conquered lands were implemented first in the provinces of Stein and Basel.

The cultural strategy personally pointed out by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, is naturally one of them.

The book that Tonia bought from Arthur was a comic book produced by Bruno himself!

As a traverser from the previous life, Bruno, who is well versed in various online essays, clearly knows how to make readers be attracted by the content at the beginning.

so……

The moment Tonya opened the cover, the picture album without any words plunged him deeply into it.

In fact, the content of the comic strip is not particularly brilliant.

But in this era of extreme emptiness in spiritual and cultural life, even if it is an extremely boring or even naive story to Bruno, it is enough to make an adult like Tonia watch with relish and keep his eyes intent.

Fortunately, there are no telephone poles on both sides of the road in the Principality of Idar. Otherwise, when Tonya arrives at the plantation where he works, he will have to hit his head full of red envelopes.

As for the content...

Take the third fairy tale in the comic strip as an example,

It tells the reader a fairy tale that happened in the forest-

[In the remote forest, there are two bears, brother Xiong and brother Xiong. They live happily in the forest under the protection of the **** of bears] [However, one day, a man named Datouqiang broke into the forest , He wants to cut down all the trees in the forest. 】

[In order to resist Big Touqiang’s attack, Brother Xiong and Brother Xiong prayed to the bear **** they had always admired, but...the bear **** abandoned them because Big Touqiang promised to be the bear **** after cutting down the forest. Build a place to settle the soul. 】

[After losing the protection of the bear god, Xiong and Xiong had to leave the forest, relying on their own strength to trek through the mountains and water~www.novelbuddy.com~ Finally found their own helper in the green grassland at the other end of the forest...]

Judging from Bruno’s corner, this story is boring, naive, and even has too many elements...

but!

For civilians like Tonya who have never read a book, this is enough!

As the first test of Bruno’s cultural strategy,

The content in the comics cannot directly accuse the sins and ugliness of the Bright Church, and can only gradually convey relevant information through side-by-side attacks.

It’s not just the bear **** who sees profit in this story,

The content in the comics combines all kinds of fairy tales, Greek mythology and fable fragments that Bruno can think of, creating a variety of selfish gods and protagonists who rely on their own efforts to succeed.

And there is only one purpose for all this,

That is……

In silence, the image of the **** was pulled off the altar, thus breaking the mindset of some people——

Gods are not necessarily perfect!

Perhaps in the previous life, the effect of such an approach was minimal.

But,

it's here,

in this world,

The thinking and cognition of the common people still need to be guided, and a perfect way of thinking has not yet taken shape.

As the first book seen by many civilians who can't spell, the content of the comics will undoubtedly be deeply imprinted in their minds.

therefore,

Almost all morning,

The images of the gods in the comics that make people difficult to describe are constantly hovering and wandering in Tonya's mind...
