Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 134 Fair System
Just when Li Xun was about to ask some other questions, an unexpected visitor interrupted his conversation with the old priest.

It was a middle-aged man with a rough face. His movements were capable, his momentum was calm, and his whole body revealed a weather-beaten atmosphere.

Behind him were a few young men in worn leather armor. Compared with the calmness of this leader, they were far worse. They looked like a group of improvised mobs.

Middel raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"This is Mr. Bird, the sheriff of Duomont Village. Over the years, the village can be managed so well without his help."

"Sheriff, Byrd, welcome, Lord Hunter."

With his right hand clenched and hanging on his chest, Byrd gave Li Xun a very formal courtesy that is common in the army.

"Mr. Bird, you're welcome. I'm just a temporary hunter now, and I haven't become a full-time hunter yet. But Mr. Bird is really sharp. I stepped into the church with my front foot, and you will come in with my back foot."

"As the sheriff of the village, I will naturally keep an eye on everything in the village all the time."

Bird said it so naturally, maybe it was an illusion, Li Xun always felt that the eyes of the sheriff in front of him were very strange, it seemed that the other party was very resistant to his arrival.

"It's rare for Duomeng Village to have guests. I, as the host, naturally want to entertain them well. It just so happens that you, Bird, are also here. Take a seat."

Middler spoke very politely and invited Byrd to sit down. At the same time, two nuns came over with the dishes prepared during this time.

There is fresh fruit, vegetables, fine white breads and roasts, and even wine.

The dishes are not extravagant, but they are exquisite enough. It can be seen that although he has been in this village for 50 years, the life of the priest Midr is still very good.

Several people were eating and drinking, and it didn't take long for Midel to look a little drunk.

"It's really not easy for me to live these years. Ever since the goddess sent down the oracle, the matter about the Xingyue grass has also been settled. At that time, Duomen Village had just experienced famine and riots, and I don't know how many people left I have fled from the famine here, and most of the people left in the village are old, weak, sick and disabled. Every day, villagers are starved to death, and I am anxious to see it."

"I think about it day and night, and pray devoutly in front of the goddess, hoping that the goddess can point out the maze for me and let Duomeng Village overcome the difficulties. Finally, I found a solution to the dilemma of Duomeng Village from the goddess' teachings. way!"

Li Xun also put down the knife and fork in his hand, sat there and listened seriously, only Bird looked away, with a somewhat sarcastic look on his face.

"That is, let the entire Duomen Village not distinguish between each other, and help everyone as their own dear relatives and friends! Your brother is my brother, and your parents are my parents. I will gather all the assets of the villagers into one Together, manage them in a unified manner, and ensure everyone's food supply at a minimum, so that no one will starve to death!"

Li Xun frowned, for a moment he didn't know what to say about Middel's behavior.

Theoretically speaking, this operation is not a big problem, and it can indeed save many people who are about to starve to death in times of crisis.

It's just that it's not very friendly to those who have surplus food at home, or those who have certain assets.

But the voices of one or two people are obviously useless. Once this order is carried out, it will inevitably be applauded by a bunch of people.

Moreover, in order to implement this system, it is necessary to ensure that the person who manages these assets is absolutely fair and just, but it is clear that Middle is not like that.

It can be seen from Midr's rather delicate little life that the other party has no self-consciousness to live a hard life with the villagers in the village. In his opinion, he is a devout believer of the goddess and a shepherd who grazes on behalf of the Lord. , it should be a matter of course to be able to enjoy these preferential treatments.

"Then after that, after the initial difficulty has passed, how has Duomeng Village developed?"

"To be honest, I also want to lead the development of Duomeng Village and make the villagers rich, but there is really nothing in Duomeng Village that can be used as a feature or a selling point. After the Xingyuecao incident, it has become a forgotten place. A place where people outside don’t even want to talk about it.”

Middel said so, with a wry smile on his face, as if I tried my best but couldn't help it.

"The only valuable thing in Duomeng Village is probably the fertile land. I led the villagers to plant, asked Byrd to form a militia group, and went hunting in the jungle together. Coupled with donations from well-wishers in the society, we barely managed to survive. The livelihood of the whole village."

"I also asked young villagers to leave the village and go to work in big towns, but unfortunately, the young people in the village went one by one, and none of them were willing to come back to help the village tide over the difficulties together."

Isn't that for sure? If I work hard outside for a whole year and pay all my money back after I come back, I will definitely not come back.

Not to mention those who go out to work, even in the village, there are a lot of foreign workers. Anyway, it is evenly distributed, and those who work more and eat less are the same.

Li Xun shook his head. The failure of this system is inevitable. Absolute fairness often means absolute injustice.

Duomeng Village has been able to maintain this system for nearly 20 years, and all the people in the village have not escaped. Li Xun just wants to say that the assistance from the kind-hearted people in the society is really powerful.

Yes, after all, this is the Kingdom of Stars, a country blessed by the Goddess of Stars and Moon, and kindness and benevolence are the national policy.

Li Xun also didn't mean to preach to the other party. Many things that are unbelievable in his concept are taken for granted in the eyes of people in this world.

And Middel is indeed not doing bad things, his system did save many people at the beginning.

As for whether the other party has selfish intentions, and how much he has embezzled when taking care of the villagers' property, presumably Mr. Bird, the sheriff beside him, should have a good say.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Li Xun. He is here to carry out the assessment task of becoming a hunter. His main purpose is to investigate the missing hunter and find out about the suspected trace of the witch. He is not here to investigate the priest. Corruption problem.

Even saying that this is not a matter of corruption, at most it is too high taxes.

Isn't it just [-]% taxation, and it's not really [-]%, and food is distributed so that the villagers don't starve to death.

Thinking of the absurd thing that someone once did to transfer the tax to hundreds of years later, Li Xun even felt that Middle was quite normal.

Among other things, he really saved many people who were about to starve to death.
