I Like This Dream!

An Xu stared at the woman standing in front of her.

"People from the Sullivan family?" An Xu asked blankly, "Is there anyone else from Sullivan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the capable middle-aged woman in front of her burst into tears and said loudly, "Sullivan will live forever! The glory of the Southern Sentinel will not be destroyed!"

An Xu: ... Huh?

"I lost my composure." The woman wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, continued to look at An Xu with fiery eyes, and said with emotion: "You have suffered, Miss!"

An Xu: "Who are you?"

"It's normal for you not to remember me, those damned rebels!" The woman sniffed angrily, "You were only six years old when Master Edward was called by God!"

Jane's younger sister came to see her, and also brought An Xu a meeting gift: a woman named Flora, the former head maid of the Sullivan family, Anna. Sullivan's devoted nanny. An Xu was thinking "Why don't I remember any loyal characters", Flora had already finished talking about the pre-plot non-stop.

The story begins with the origin of the Sullivan family. Hundreds of years before the shadow of the dark age had left, the righteous Saint Sullivan ordered his servants to kill her in order to protect the civilians in a shelter. The body of the Divine Grace was thrown into the sanctuary's pool. People ate her flesh and blood that had been blessed by God, and was blessed with awakened abilities, successfully surviving the beast tide. They got the favor of St. Sullivan, and they swore to take Sullivan as their surname and protect the descendants of St. Sullivan from generation to generation. The descendants of St. Sullivan are the Sullivans, and the descendants of those who took the oath are the offshoots.

…Anxu is used to such **** origin stories, primitive religious stories, she read them in the seminary library.

Although St. Sullivan was canonized by the Holy See, the Sullivan family has always been the king's faction after Richard's covenant. Sullivan is the most trusted Sentinel of the South, stationing on the frontier brings them glory, and also makes the head of this family sparsely populated all year round. In the generation of Anxu's father, the Sullivan family had only two alphas in their prime and one beta who died young, and the next generation had only Anna. When the two alphas died in battle, Anxu became the only heir. age.

A huge family, a young head of the family, a group of people who have their own ghosts, and they don't know what will happen.

Anxu listened to Flora's story about how Anna's biological mother, Mrs. Norma, treated the child harshly and only took benefits for her natal family; How many people were persecuted and died scattered. This story is full of intrigue, atrocity crimes, rotten class privileges and many rules, enough to air a hundred and eighty episodes on the 8 o'clock slot.

An Xu felt scared for a while: If the thunder hadn't been struck at the beginning, when will this endless parental short story be annoying!

At this time, Flora has already talked about the help of the Stewart family from the greatness of the Anxu outbreak and the suppression of the traitors. She said that the second daughter of the Marquis family, Eve, provided help and gathered most of Sullivan's property that Xiao Xiao had occupied over the years. The head maid praised Eve's skills and wealth, saying that she was a very suitable candidate for mistress, and sincerely persuaded An Xu not to be too obsessed with her, let alone accept all the people she brought, in case she declared an army to seize her. Actively shake the position of the eldest lady...

"Wait, who did she bring?" An Xu interrupted.

"Just the servants," said Flora, "the ones you advertised for."

"How many people?" An Xu asked.

"Probably, a few hundred?" Flora said uncertainly, "In previous years, the number of servants in one of Sullivan's estates exceeded this number...Miss?"

An Xu jumped up and rushed out the door quickly.

When An Xu was looking for Eve everywhere, Eve was walking back with fluttering steps. She was holding several books in her hand, the paper quality was poor, the binding was rough, and there was no exquisite painting and workmanship like the nobles' collection of books. They were just a few bare tattered books, printed with the most basic literacy formulas and strange symbols that they couldn't understand, which would make every noble with a book collection scoff at them. However, there are hundreds of thousands of these books, just randomly placed in the store.

She took the book and slowly left the downtown area. From a distance, she could see that the open space in front of the fortress used to fight against the beasts was covered with lush green plants, not random weeds, but neatly planted seedlings. The ground is regularly divided into several pieces, and there are paths for people to walk in the middle. Eve stood there for a while, and could see ordinary people walking on the ridge carrying water, happily inspecting their own land.

The big bell of the monastery jingled four times, and not far away, people filed out of the house and walked in an orderly manner to the place called the dining hall. They passed by the place where Eve was, and the guards stood in front of Eve aggressively (as an unmarked omega, the guards need to be as difficult to provoke as possible), but the crowd passed in front of Eve very naturally, He only glanced curiously occasionally, which made the guard a little embarrassed to wink at the blind man. Eve noticed that there were quite a few omegas in the crowd.

People passing by talked about what to eat in the evening ("Now there are two meals to eat! What a blessing for the nobles and ladies!"), the pronunciation of a certain word just now, how to grow a certain crop, and the lunch at noon. What a show. Twice a week, there will be people performing on the high platform of the square. The form of the performance is very strange: Let a person who has learned the best in the past few days read a story on stage, and after reading two pages, he will randomly report a number. There is a sign for this number If people who are watching the show are also watching the performance, they have to go up and continue reading, and so on. When reading, there will be jugglers on the stage improvising the contents of the book.

The first one to go up to read and to read three pages smoothly after being called out are both quite face-saving. It doesn't matter if you read it wrong or you can't read it. Eve just happened to catch up with the performance day, and she saw the people below coaxing and correcting, the juggler made a funny look because of the typo, everyone laughed, if there was a roof, the sound would blow over. The performance, which seemed vulgar to the nobility who had seen the professional court poets perform, remained popular with the common people.

The servants saw the excitement, but Eve saw something even more shocking.

She couldn't tell what was different, because almost everything had changed and it was impossible to tell. Thousands of literate civilians have time to gather and enjoy the game. Civilians, border troops, and monks walk together regardless of each other. Omega picks up goods with their children in their arms. The bustling vendors and guests from afar are not sheepskins. The paper and handwriting are like a large number of books written by one person, the market and the hotel appearing on the ground... There are too many, Eve is good at capturing every detail and analyzing it, so she only walked in the city of New Tibes for a while. Circle, I feel that my brain is almost overloaded, and my whole body is a little dizzy.

In the end what happened? What a terrible skill to change the people of this city.

anna. The planting activities promoted by Sullivan promoted the development of productivity, further promoted the refinement of social division of labor, promoted the evolution of production relations and the development of the commodity economy, and the promotion of education brought the construction of the Tibes Line of Defense into a virtuous circle... the students of later generations Answering this question in this way, she said it as if she really planned it this way.

No, Anxu has almost no plan, and her speculation about the result is not as much as Eve's. She just put up the airs and it all happened.

The bumper harvest and moderate taxes enabled the common people to think about things other than food and clothing, and had enough money to buy goods, and found that it was easier to exchange the labor they were good at for the labor they were not good at. The mountain people's self-produced, self-sold and self-reliant way of life was broken, and they became farmers, blacksmiths, tailors, workers, hawkers, etc., and the common residence and scattered villages provided the possibility to eliminate prejudice and feud . New settlements were formed near the fortress, transactions became frequent, businessmen came here for profit, and the frontier residents who knew numbers were no longer afraid of being deceived by businessmen. many tourists...

These are general developments, and there are some key events, not big or small.

When the beast horde came in winter, in order to avoid the tragedy of the last time, An Xu took action, and the frontier army and the border residents repelled the beast horde by themselves. One of the reasons was that the beast swarm was lightened by cleaning it up too hard last time. Another reason is that they were overheated when they planted the seeds, and the location was not good. The field was outside the city where the beast swarm would run over. The frontier army and the frontier residents greeted this group of robbers who might ruin their efforts with unprecedented enthusiasm. The high morale really made the king's guards palpitate; Fight for their dividends next year. After the successful guarding, everyone held a barbecue party. Of course, it was chosen on a day that was not a fasting day, and both parties felt that the other party seemed not so badass.

Nancy joined the teaching team. She did this job easily and was widely welcomed by the students. She is considerate of Anxu's wallet, daubs her fingers with white powder in class, and writes on black slate. Not long after, a student brought her a white stone that was convenient for writing, and An Xu discovered that it was limestone. The girl suddenly remembered what was missing in her papermaking skills. The water used to soak the bark linen must be alkaline!

She used the useless harvested straw, soaked it in lime water for three days, and then boiled it in a large pot for one day. The things that were fished out were cleaned and crushed into a flat piece, smashed, washed, left for a while, and scooped up with a pole...The reason why it became so vague is that An Xu didn't remember how to do it again, but fortunately she is now a waving one. Call the corresponding people. She handed over the incomprehensible mess to the craftsmen, and finally succeeded in obtaining paper that was as rotten as toilet paper but usable. Thanks to the wisdom of the working people.

Now that papermaking is done, wouldn't it be possible to upgrade the movable type printing that can be used to make books? Of course come! The superhumans used the technology black box to experiment with feasible methods first, and then reversed the methods that normal people can learn to use. In this way, the papermaking and printing industries were forced out, and the printing of teaching materials for students with a large age span was enough to support them. this newborn. Inexpensive blank books were also bound and sold, and they were very popular among merchants. Merchants found paper that could be used to calculate accounts at will and be destroyed without worry. At the same time, the calculation method of the Tibes defense line and the number symbols with only ten began to spread among merchants. Old-school businessmen also admit that they are far more convenient than the tedious arithmetic of twelve numbers.

Just as An Xu thinks, the world seems to be able to repair itself and make up for the bugs she created that are beyond the times. All the changes on the border of Tibes are like an uprooted tree whose roots are growing naturally to stand firm in the soil.

All she lacks is time and many useful people.

An Xu found Eve.

"All?" Eve repeated, "Including those who assist in revising business regulations and those responsible for management, all of them?"

"That's right!" An Xu nodded repeatedly, "You really helped me a lot!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to affect your authority?" Eve asked.

Maybe it was too much shock, or maybe it was because the builder of this place was too different from Eve's imagination, so Eve couldn't help but tentatively said what was thinking in her heart.

"It doesn't matter." The god-favored person she had never seen through smiled and said, "It's not that important. What's more..."

The girl blinked her light-colored eyes and said arrogantly: "Do you think you can do it?"
