Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 424 Self-help Guide
In Windsor Castle, Perfect was constantly dealing with various matters, big and small, and was very busy.

The empire is about to announce the coming of the doomsday, and Perfect, the important official of the empire who has been in charge of this matter, will naturally return to Langton to take charge and ensure that the empire can smoothly pass through the final stage.

As the Empire announced the news of the end of the world, in order to finally survive the doomsday crisis, both Perfecto and the Imperial Center had to do a myriad of things. All kinds of things popped up at once, making it difficult to know where to start.

Fortunately, Perfect had warned the Empire three years ago. Although the efficiency of the Noble Council caused a lot of time to be wasted, as the Imperial Center confirmed the news of the end of the world, Perfect gradually gained power. Even with the Empire's consistently low administrative efficiency, the Imperial Center still came up with a relatively reliable response plan.

The construction of the Northern Shelter is only part of the entire plan, although it is the most important part. However, in addition to building the shelter, there are many things that need to be decided and properly arranged.

For example, who is qualified to go to the North and get a ticket to board the "Ark"?

Of course, the nobles thought they were qualified, but it was obvious that not all of them were qualified to go to the North this time.

Perfect had emphasized at the royal court a long time ago that those nobles who were just sitting there doing nothing, making no contribution to the empire and society, and having no talent to contribute, were not qualified to go to the North. They were the ones who were abandoned.

Even the Duke of Gloucester and other dignitaries at the center of the empire had no objection to this.

After all, Perfect had emphasized from the very beginning that the North's carrying capacity was limited, and only a limited population could be allowed to go to the North to escape the coming of doomsday. Whether it was civilians or nobles, a considerable number of them would have to be abandoned.

It’s just that relatively speaking, the total number of civilians abandoned is greater, and the proportion of nobles abandoned is greater.

But who deserves to live and who should be abandoned is something that needs to be assessed by those who are qualified to make the decision.

In order to accomplish this task, the Empire set up a special evaluation team, and in order to prevent someone from using backdoors or something, Perfecto personally took charge of the team and was responsible for the final review.

Of course, she was not an absolutely ruthless person. When some nobles who did not meet the standards and requirements were submitted, as long as they were not too outrageous and she felt that these people could still be of some use, she would still turn a blind eye and allow those who were between passing and failing to pass.

The North's carrying capacity is indeed limited, but that doesn't mean it can't accommodate thousands of nobles.

The only thing is that the prerequisite for being able to pass or not is that she feels "passable", which means that there are still certain merits, but they are not up to the normal passing standards. Therefore, the nobles who can be let go in this way are still more or less useful.

At least there are family members in their family who serve in the imperial army or government departments, have received an average education for the aristocracy, and have no bad records.

Although these people are of little use, there is no problem in sending them to serve as low-level civil servants or to management positions in the shelters below.

The North has always lacked sufficient grassroots talent, and these people can more or less fill some of the gap.

As for those nobles who are really just sitting there doing nothing but abusing their power and having a bad reputation, I'm sorry to say that Perfectcott doesn't intend to let any of them go.

In order to stabilize social order and ensure the smooth transfer, Perfect had the military deal with these people after he returned to Langton and took control of the power. The military certainly understood Perfect's intentions and knew that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, so the usual behavior of turning a blind eye was now severely punished. The military even sent out the Royal Guards to deal with the nobles who wanted to cause trouble at this time.

In addition to these things, Perfecto also took the time to compile a self-help guide.

After all, even if the empire's homeland was abandoned, there was still a huge population base here. Although Perfecto cruelly abandoned them, he did not really watch them die.

The self-help guide describes the situation of the doomsday winter in detail and introduces some methods that can help ordinary people survive the doomsday winter.

If ordinary people can follow the instructions in this booklet, although there is no guarantee that they will survive, they can at least get through the initial cold winter.

The reason why Perfect gave up the empire's homeland was, on the one hand, because the resources in the homeland were scarce. Without the input from overseas colonies, the empire's homeland could not support the huge consumption.

On the other hand, the empire has a huge population base, and such a large population will expose many social problems when facing the doomsday crisis.

But this does not mean that the empire's mainland has no chance of surviving the doomsday. If someone can organize the people who remain in the mainland and follow the self-help guide she left behind, they still have a chance and hope to survive.

Of course, it was only a chance to survive the early stages of the doomsday winter.

After all, as the extreme cold continues to intensify, even the North cannot guarantee that everyone can survive, let alone the Empire itself.

Perfect only gave them a vague hope that they could survive the initial stage, after which perhaps she would be able to free up her hands from the North and find ways to improve the situation in the empire itself.

But that was all in the future. All she could do now was to compile such a self-help guide and have the empire's propaganda department print more copies so that the general public would not really feel that they had been abandoned by the empire.

If that were the case, the problem would be quite serious, after all, you have no way of predicting what crazy actions a person would take when he can no longer survive.

She has seen enough these days, people committing suicide, wanting to kill others, and even wanting to destroy the world before the end of the world...

Perfecto had appreciated the diversity of the human species enough, and she didn't want things to get any worse.

Besides, she already had enough to do now, and she didn't want to add to her workload.

However, while she was busy, someone came and interrupted her work.

"My Lord Earl, the Patriarch of the Church is here to visit!" A court attendant interrupted her work and informed her of a somewhat unexpected news.
