Chapter 181 Secularization of Religion? (Vote for me!)
When Wagner, who looked confused, was invited to the lord's castle by the servants, he had no idea what was going on.
As a commoner of the lowest class, this was Wagner's first time stepping into the lord's castle.
Therefore, at this moment, he was extremely nervous.
"My Lord Earl..."
When he saw Bruno, he immediately fell at his feet. This was his wife's lifesaver! Although the actual surgeon was Dr. Doug Batalov, Wagner knew that if it wasn't for Bruno's order and care, how could his wife be treated by this military doctor from Idar?
If it weren't for the Earl's blessing, how could his wife have survived the operation? After all... the success rate of surgery in this era is there!
Therefore, all of this is thanks to the Earl in front of us!
"Get up!" Bruno said.
Hearing this, Wagner stood up carefully and looked around nervously.
This is Bruno’s study, but... the Earl’s room is really plain and simple!
This was a far cry from what Wagner had previously imagined.
In Wagner's opinion, shouldn't the rooms of nobles be magnificent, with gems and gold everywhere? But here...
Because Bruno had been living in the Hanging Garden, the study in the lord's castle only had a few simple sets of furniture, a desk, a bookshelf...
Therefore, in Wagner's eyes, the image of this Count became even taller and taller! The Count of Idar is indeed a good nobleman who always cares about the common people!
I'm afraid... even when the Earl is eating or sleeping, he is still thinking about the people of Idar County...
"What do you think of the current situation in Idar County?" Bruno asked.
"This...thanks to your wise leadership, Lord Count, everything is fine in Idar Territory. Compared with other noble territories, it is simply a paradise." Wagner replied.
Yo ho!
This boy is quite good at talking!
"I'm going to give you a task!" Bruno said in a deep voice.
"The lives of my wife and children were given by the Earl. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it for the Earl. Even if I can't do it for the time being, I will try my best to complete the Earl's orders!" Wagner said firmly.
Hearing this, Bruno couldn't help but nodded.
good!
I was right. Wagner is indeed a trustworthy guy!
"It's not a big deal, actually. I plan to form a police force in Idar Territory, and you will be in charge for the time being. What do you think?"
Wagner was stunned when he heard Bruno's words.
Originally, he thought that the Earl would ask him to do something extremely difficult, but he didn't expect that he would actually give him a promotion!
Although Wagner was just a commoner and had no idea what the word police meant, he was keenly aware of the other words implied in the earl's words: police... troops! In today's Idar Territory, the only forces that can be described as troops are the Idar regular army and the Idar navy.
This is the important right-hand man of Lord Idar!
But... I can only write a few words, how can I bear such a heavy responsibility? As if seeing Wagner's concerns, Bruno said to Wagner: "Don't worry about it. This police force is similar to the patrol teams in big cities. It is only responsible for maintaining law and order within the territory and handling disputes between the people."
Hearing this, Wagner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although this position still sounded a little scary, it also made him feel a little more at ease.
Then, Bruno explained to Wagner many aspects of the police force, from recruitment to training, to the official start of patrols and investigations. For all of this, Bruno only gave him very limited support, and the rest had to be grasped and completed by Wagner himself.
In short, Bruno has handed the opportunity to Wagner. If Wagner can seize it, it will naturally be good.
But if Wagner did not give Bruno a satisfactory answer, then he would not mind letting Wagner return to the steel factory and continue to be a model worker.
After all...as Bruno said, he was only temporarily put in charge of establishing the Idar police force.
There are many people in Idar County, and many of them are loyal to Bruno. For a commoner like Wagner, loyalty alone is not enough, but also ability! Otherwise, how can Bruno help Wagner achieve the leap from the commoner class to the ruling class?
Therefore, Wagner must demonstrate the ability to match his position! Moreover, Bruno wanted Wagner to try this new position not only because Wagner was loyal to him, but also because of other considerations.
As civilians continue to pour in from outside, the proportion of local residents in Idar is gradually decreasing. However, most of the people who hold more important positions in Idar today are native Idar people.
Although there is no sign of this now, if material life and spiritual life become increasingly affluent, will there be a rift between the two?
Having Wagner, a commoner from the Territory of Soran, take up such a position can allow many smart immigrants to see the hidden hope of the Territory of Idar.
This may make them realize that Idar Territory can not only provide them with a stable living environment, but can even allow them to make a class leap!
"Don't worry, Lord Count. I will try my best to ensure that the police force led by Idar will be worthy of your cultivation!" Wagner said in a deep voice.
After sending Wagner away, Bruno finally resolved the matter that had been on his mind for a long time. However, before officially heading to the Almis Mountains, Bruno had more than just this one thing to do.
educate!
The process of recruiting police officers made Bruno realize clearly that there were too many illiterate people in Idar Territory! Perhaps, for those civilians and serfs who worked in the fields all day, learning to read and write was a very difficult thing.
But Bruno couldn't wait any longer.
Only when a person has learned knowledge, at least learned to read and write, will he gradually learn to think.
Although Bruno has always regarded himself as the owner of the Order of St. George, the uncertainty caused by the existence of the church to the future of Idar Territory has always been a hurdle in Bruno's heart.
The people of Idar can have their own beliefs, but they must not blindly worship and believe in gods.
If circumstances permit, Bruno would like to separate the faith of the people of Idar from the church and turn it into a new religion.
Just like the religious reform led by Martin Luther in the previous life, the believers in Idar County were able to break free from the shackles of the church and become true Idar people!
At least...it should be a religion that can be under its own supervision!
Oh! Please give me a monthly ticket~ (End of this chapter)
