v4 Chapter 5: Status of Renas

"Turkey, braised lamb, vegetable soup...that's all for dinner tonight."

Anthony put the last dish on the table, pulled out the chair and sat down. Julia, who was sitting beside him, had already poured his drink, and Donald was sitting beside him.

Since he is going to stay in Renas for a long time, it is naturally impossible to stay in a hotel all the time, so Donald just bought a house in the wealthy area just a few days ago.

Although according to the plan, they should move to a better place soon, but if they use the lease method, they may have to deal with the landlord. Not to mention the accident, their whereabouts are uncertain during this period, which is easy to cause suspicion. .

Buy the house for now and sell it later.

Although Donald is not particularly rich today, after this nearly half-year journey, including those jewels in the space ring, he still has savings of nearly a thousand gold pounds. A house is nothing to him.

"What have you found in the Discord Bureau these days?"

Taking a sip of juice, Donald looked at Anthony and asked.

Shortly after returning to Renas, Donald asked Anthony, who had already drank the change potion to change his appearance, to join the local anomaly bureau.

The reason for this is very simple. In the non-religious area, the Alien Affairs Bureau has always been in charge of handling the affairs of the aliens. Some of Donald's recent actions will inevitably conflict with them, and naturally someone has to inquire about the news.

What's more, Donald is going to control Renas in the long run. As a special and powerful force that belongs to the government and is independent of the government to a certain extent, the Discord Bureau naturally needs to be controlled by real people.

"Renas's different bureau... very general, compared to the situation in Demingham that you told me before, the situation here is much worse, let's not talk about their internal organization. There are various deficiencies. The number of heretics in the entire Discord Bureau is actually less than 80, and the strength is also uneven. I have not seen the Director of the Discord Bureau, but from what I have seen so far, I think this Director is at best. That is, a decent awakened alien."

At first, Anthony was very curious about the heresy department set up by the government when he signed up for the Alien Bureau through the channel in Reina's Alien Market, but only after he entered did he discover the Alien Institute. It was no different from Reina's police station, and even more primitive, not to mention the people inside.

"This is normal. Although Renas is also a medium-sized city, really speaking, this wealthy area is actually just a facade. Overall, the industrial development of this city can only be said to be average. The living standard is low, this kind of city, let alone the heretics, even those middle-class people are probably desperate to run away..."

Speaking of Renas' situation, Donald couldn't help sighing.

During this time, he was not idle. Apart from personal cultivation, most of the time was spent on researching the current situation of the city of Renas.

The final conclusion made him very helpless and even pessimistic.

If Donald had to give an evaluation to this city, it would be extremely deformed prosperity!

Donald stayed here for a very short time when he first came to Renas. At that time, he only knew the general situation here from the mouths of some people. Although he also saw part of it, he was only one of the whole city. corner.

So Renas gave Donald the impression of an ordinary medium-sized city for a long time.

However, when he began to really pay attention to the city as his plan was ready to be implemented, he realized how serious the problem was here.

It is true that the wealthy area of ​​Reinas is indeed very high-end. In the inland area of ​​the Lane Empire, it should be ranked first among cities of the same size, but the price of doing so is that the city is not outside the wealthy area. There have been slums covering nearly 80% of the entire city...

Attention, it is the poor, not the commoners!

To put it simply, cities like Demingham are divided into several urban areas in order to distinguish the gap between the rich and the poor. Among them, the manor area and Wangque Island belong to the wealthy area, Xialin District and Tallinn District belong to the middle class area, and the land area belongs to the middle class area. It's a slum.

The population of each urban area is appropriate. Due to the prosperous economy in the coastal areas and a fairly mature industrial system, most of the people in this city are living in a fairly good state, and the whole city presents a thriving situation. Therefore, even after a large-scale disaster such as an airship crash, as long as Demingham is given time, it can return to normal levels in less than a year.

What about Renas?

The division of urban areas is extremely simple.

There are two urban areas: the rich and the poor.

The extreme prosperity of the rich area is based on the extreme poverty of most people, and the number of the middle class is appallingly low. The industrial revolution in this city did not rely on the support of the legal system and science and technology, but the capitalists. Exploitation and oppression are ignored.

The operation of the few factories does not consume coal mines, but the flesh and blood of the people at the bottom!

Those capitalists even brandished the hammer of social development, smashing the bones of the people who were stripped of their flesh and blood, and squeezed out the marrow inside.

Today's Renas is on the verge of collapse in Donald's view, completely relying on the power of the government to suppress the dissatisfaction and anger of the bottom people...

Someday a "Mars" will emerge from nowhere and burn the city down completely.

Let's go back to the question of the Alien Bureau that Anthony mentioned, why are there so few heretics in the Alien Bureau?

It's not because there aren't many heretics in the entire city of Renas!

Living in a slum area is looking for guilt. Living in a rich area can only serve as subordinates to those big capitalists, that is, dog legs. For most aliens, these two options are unacceptable. To put it bluntly, People are all capable people, why should they suffer from you?

The same theory can also be applied to the existence of scientists, scholars, skilled workers, middle-level chambers of commerce, etc.

"Who made this place the closest to Howling Forest, and let's think for the best, if there is no such a bad social environment, how can Donald develop his faith here smoothly? If only the people would eat and drink like Demingham. Foot, who would be full to believe in an existence that has never been heard of?"

Stephanie helped Donald get a vegetable soup and put it in front of him, then got up and helped him take off his coat and hung it behind the chair, then said,

"It is precisely because Renas has great problems. If you can solve these problems, you will be the savior of this city. Even if you are not a god, those suffering people will also believe in you extremely."

"I have to admit, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Donald pursed his lips, the melancholy on his face faded a little, and he squeezed Stephanie's face again and said.

If he wants to make his image of a saint in black robe deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, propaganda alone is not enough. He must be able to do practical things that can be admired by the people~lightnovelpub.net~ and sometimes doing practical things is not something you can do if you want to. , If it was in Demingham, I am afraid there would not be such an opportunity at all.

Because even if the people have difficulties, the first thing they think of is the Demingham government, not Donald at all.

Only in such a place where the people suffer and hate each other can they better implement their plans.

In fact, what Stephanie said has been verified to a certain extent these days.

The translations on the slate were propaganda by Victor and the literary sect, and whether the people of Renas believed it or not, at least they knew that there was such a thing.

And Donald's recent actions are to cater to the translation content of the slate. With the destruction of those notorious families among the people, the name of the black-robed saint is soon being lost by a part of the Renas people. accepted.

This is evidenced by the threads of faith that keep popping up in Donald's mind, and although these threads are mostly thin, Donald's plans are only the beginning.
