Lord of Rot

Chapter 213 Deni’s thank you gift (page 12)

The room allocation for the Porcupine Collar has ended.

Not surprisingly, new civilians like Little Gazelle, who have no special status and are not craftsmen, cannot buy the already scarce and sought-after red brick houses.

But looking at the two people showing off their power, she felt very angry.

She had better go back to the vegetable market to work first. She didn't buy a house, so life had to go on.

"Baby gazelle?"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, the little gazelle turned around, only to see the chief steward of the porcupine collar standing there.

"Lord Grant!" She was a little nervous and subconsciously grabbed the corners of her clothes and rubbed them.

Is it because of the incident of jumping in line before? The lord did look unhappy at that time.

"My lord appreciates you very much." Grant's words made the little gazelle's eyes widen. "I wonder if you are interested in becoming an honorary knight of the Porcupine collar?"

……

some time ago.

Seeing that Claude and Deni were on their way, Li Qi did not let the two of them chat. After letting Deni and Claude taste the ice cream, he let them go back to rest first.

Soon, the member of the security team entered the castle.

After hearing what happened, Grant also handed over the remaining bits and pieces of work to his apprentices and followed them into the castle.

The member of the security team lowered his head nervously and told the story of the incident honestly. He was not familiar with both parties, so there was no need to lie for them.

"Okay, I understand." Li Qi waved his hand: "You go back first."

"Yes!"

After confirming that they were fine, the members of the security team breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and left.

Grant passed by the member of the security team, and when he saw Li Qi, he opened his mouth: "Sir..."

"It's just a small thing, don't worry too much," Li Qi said.

Problems can be big or small.

Cutting in line is just a matter of moral character. The law doesn't say you are not allowed to cut in line, so it's not a big deal, it's just a quarrel.

It's okay to say big. One moment, Li Qi was happily praising his own people with two businessmen, and the next moment he was slapped in the face. It was replaced by other lords. It is estimated that the noose has been arranged.

Grant asked: "Are you worried that the two businessmen will have a bad impression of the porcupine collar?"

"The porcupine collar is here." Li Qi shook his head: "No matter how much we say, it's not as good as what they see and feel with their own eyes. If words can change other people's impressions, why should we work hard to build it? Let the entire territory People all over the world are following Pilit as a bard, the singing is better than the words, and maybe we can praise the Porcupine collar as the richest and most powerful place in the world."

Although the tone was joking, Grant always felt that Li Qi was not in a good mood.

"What are you worried about?"

Grant has been in contact with Li Qi for a long time and knows that the Lord's thoughts are very out of the ordinary.

It seems that in the eyes of the lord, the world is full of all kinds of backward ideas and errors, and one thing shocked Grant very much. He thought that the lord might not care about class deep down.

Even though the lord enjoys his rights, he still cares about some things that ordinary people take for granted when doing things.

"Exclusion" Li Qi said.

"Exclusion?" Grant was confused.

"The civilians of the Porcupine Territory consider themselves to be natives of the Porcupine Territory. They are loyal but very xenophobic," Li Qi said. "Jumping in line is just a small incident, but what they say comes from the bottom of their hearts."

The little gazelle is already a legal civilian in the Porcupine Territory, but his status as a slave cannot be washed away, and he will be ostracized if he is not a local.

At present, most apprenticeships are held by local people in the Porcupine Territory, which further confirms this.

Gulen immediately said: "I will punish those who jump in line."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded: "Looking for someone to provide ideological education and criticism. It is normal to do such things without education."

Aside from the fact that Li Qi was slapped in the face, they didn't have much of a problem. They were far from the worst cases of murder, arson, and theft. They were simply uneducated.

If you are uneducated, then educate and educate more. There is no other way.

Grant nodded, but sighed in his heart, doing ideological education? This work will definitely fall on my head again.

Let the sharp blade come? With Kuai Ren's violent temper, if he knew that they made the lord unhappy, he would probably kill them directly.

"Right." Li Qi suddenly had a thought and said, "We can build an advanced model."

"Advanced pacesetter?"

The natives of the Porcupine Territory reject non-Porcupine Territory natives, and outsiders cannot find a sense of identity in the Porcupine Territory.

Then set an example.

In fact, when it comes to role models, the most suitable role model is Luo Bao. He was born as a slave, but Luo Bao is just lucky in the eyes of many people. Many people think that if it were them, they could do the same thing.

Therefore, the role model must be re-established.

"Advanced pacesetter doesn't sound good," Li Qi said thoughtfully, "Let's change it to honorary knight."

Grant was surprised: "You want to be crowned a knight?"

"No, it's not a knight." Li Qi shook his head and explained: "It's just a title. Everyone can be an honorary knight, set some moral standards and codes of conduct, plus unity and friendship, self-reliance and struggle, and then in the territory every month Select an honorary knight and award the Honorary Knight Medal."

Whatever the people in the porcupine collar don't have, they add it to it, set an example, and tell them that as long as they follow suit, they will have the opportunity to become honorary knights in the future.

Although moral character and xenophobia cannot be immediately corrected, it can be reduced to a certain extent.

Especially for young children, if you do something, you will develop a habit.

Of course, there is an easier way.

religion!

The reason why so many troubles and trivial things happen in the Porcupine Territory is because there is no Four Gods Sect and no priest.

Luleiya’s divine authority is supreme.

But Li Qi instinctively rejects religion, and the influence he had in his previous life also made him reject religious sentiments. However, he has to admit that if there is a religious church in the Porcupine Territory, not only will the entire Porcupine Territory residents not be xenophobic, On the contrary, it will be very peaceful, people are kind and friendly, and everyone helps each other.

This is the strange ability of religion, something he cannot do even as a lord.

Li Qi Clarence is also a believer in the Church of the Four Gods, which is the mainstream belief in the Lulea continent. Even if Li Qi suppresses his rejection and even sincerely invites, the church has no intention of opening a branch in the remote countryside, so he simply Think about it.

Grant understood what Li Qi meant.

It's not a title, it's just an honorary title, which is okay.

For ordinary people, obtaining the title of knight is enough to brag for a lifetime.

"Also, those who become honorary knights can take back the honorary title if they make mistakes in the future."

Li Qi said one by one: "Whether you are a foreigner or a local, you have the opportunity to become an honorary knight, but the first honorary knight must be someone who is not a porcupine leader."

Nothing makes it easier for people to feel a sense of belonging than to be acknowledged by the lord himself.
