"A public trial?"

Zi Yi, Zi An, and the Holy Maiden both tried repeating the four words.

Li Mosi looked at the ground.

It's still black.

Forget it.

He dictated directly.

"Public means making this matter visible to everyone. A trial is a verdict. For example, if we say that tax official Bazk has been having casual sex with other people, we should kill him. That's a trial, and killing him is the result of the trial."

This is not difficult to understand.

Ziyi and Zian nodded.

"Isn't that just a public trial?"

The saint used a local word that even Li Mosi was unfamiliar with.

The two disciples were even less familiar with each other.

But the three of them only glanced at Hagi Saint and then ignored him.

How you say it doesn't matter.

Doing is what matters.

"Zi Yi, Zi An."

Li Mosi asked his two disciples.

"Do you remember what I said to you when we first occupied Baron Stern?"

They began to think after hearing the question.

Ziyi tried to answer.

"Master, is it true that 'only fame and titles should not be lent to others'?"

Zi'an looked at Li Mosi.

Li Moss shook his head.

"Not that sentence."

Upon hearing him say this, Zi'an immediately spoke up.

"Master, is it the saying, 'Power is taken from the hands of those below'?"

She couldn't quite remember.

However, they are now saying they want to select managers.

That should be more related to this.

"Yes, that's it."

Li Mosi's gaze swept over his two disciples and Haji Saint.

"Your power was taken from the hands of those you govern."

"When we occupied Baron Stern, our first step was to take back power from the old administrators. Only then did we establish direct relations with the people."

"But this method won't work in Baron Talis."

"Do you have any ideas about what to do next?"

The battle was over, and as always when he had plenty of time, he tried to let his disciples think for themselves.

Ziyi and Zian looked up at the dawning sky.

They remembered what Li Moss had just said.

"It can also help solve problems for the people and make them more obedient."

Then my teacher talked about the "public trial".

Clearly, the two are related.

The "helping the people solve problems" mentioned here is probably not the same as what they have always done before, which was to ensure that the people are well-fed and able to work.

My teacher also mentioned that power is taken from those who are being managed...

After a moment's thought, Zi Yi looked down at Li Mosi.

"Master, should we resolve the issue by holding a public trial and removing the old administrators as a problem? Then, should we take power directly from the people?"

Kill the old manager, force obedience, and install new managers...

The saintess, who was listening silently to the side, felt that it was very familiar.

This seems to be how the Vatican deals with the reclaimed territory occupied by heretics.

However, there may not necessarily be a public trial.

Because most of the time it was done on the battlefield.

and many more……

Those nobles who have already been killed...

Li Mosi didn't know why Hagi Saint was staring at her with wide eyes again.

Who knows what she's thinking?

He glanced at Zi'an, who was still thinking, and then his gaze fell on Zi Yi.

"What you're saying is correct. But have you thought about why you should do it this way?"

The methods are always pretty much the same.

But why use this method and what purpose you want to achieve are very important.

Why do this?

Zi Yi paused for a moment, then honestly shook his head.

He simply pieced together a few events to deduce his teacher's actions.

I really haven't thought about why.

After thinking it over, Zi'an tried to speak.

"Is it because the people all dislike the old administrators?"

All three of them looked at her.

"It's close, but still not accurate."

Li Mosi nodded.

Seeing that both disciples had thought about it, he began to guide them.

"Think about it, the people work hard all year round, and most of them can barely get enough to eat. Even the artisans' families don't eat very well."

"Even if they haven't studied arithmetic, surely they can read it, right?"

"Especially farmers."

"Every autumn harvest, they watch as the tax collectors take away enough grain to feed their families for the entire year, leaving them with barely enough grain to fill a corner of their small mud house. What must they be feeling?"

Zi'an blurted it out.

"anger."

If she had any gains and most of them were taken away from her, she would definitely find a way to fight that person!

"But the common people can't defeat the nobles."

Zi Yi glanced at Zi An and gave Li Mosi another answer.

"have no choice?"

After listening, Li Mosi turned to look at Haji Saint, who loved to interrupt.

This time, the saintess didn't interrupt and listened attentively.

He looked at his two disciples.

"You're all right."

"More than two thousand people are not one person. Even if it were one person, they would have several different emotions."

"But whether they are angry or helpless, they will harbor resentment in their hearts. No matter how obedient they are, they will never truly like their manager."

It may seem like obedience, but in reality, it's a sign of having no other options.

"Our upcoming public trial is intended to incite resentment within our people. We want them to understand who their enemy is, and then defeat that enemy."

Li Mos paused for a moment.

Li Mos paused for a moment.

Zi Yi took over the conversation.

"Defeat the enemy, and the people will know we stand with them. Give them jobs that provide enough to eat, and they will be grateful!"

Zi'an and the Holy Maiden looked up slightly, their faces showing realization.

It seems like they've been using this method all along.

Zi Yi felt the same way.

He added.

"Master, is this somewhat similar to what we did before?"

The process of subduing retrieved goblins and subduing new members seems to be quite similar.

"There are only a few methods; the key is to understand why..."

clap clap clap-

As Li Mosi was speaking, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching rapidly.

He turned his head and saw Ziwang running over, so he quickened his pace when speaking to his two disciples.

"Sometimes even a slight difference in thinking can lead to vastly different outcomes."

"Yes."

Ziyi and Zian nodded and looked at Ziwang as well.

In fact, neither they nor the saintess understood much.

However, since Ziwang was in such a hurry, the three of them had to put it aside for now.

"Hoo, ho, sir."

Ziwan ran a few steps away from Li Moss, stopped, and began to pant.

Li Mosi waited until he had caught his breath before speaking.

"What is it?"

"I heard the fighting here has stopped, so I came to see if you need anything from me."

As Ziwang spoke, he secretly glanced inside the wall.

"Don't move!"

"Quiet!"

"Wow, there are so many people here now."

"Maybe I can even become the team leader, hehehe..."

The tribesmen either looked at the prisoners or chatted casually.

Zwan spotted the Bazk family, as well as Bokla and Gaimur, at a glance.

"There is indeed something I need you to do."

When Li Mosi spoke, the four people around her looked over.

"Check if the territory's administrators are all here."

He needs someone to identify the ringleader so that he can be put on trial.

Ziwan nodded twice, somewhat excitedly.

"They're all here. That's the tax collector Bazke and his family, and that's the butler and Gamour. They're the ones who do the most bad things in the territory."

As he spoke, he pointed to several managers.

So the soldier hiding with the butler was Gaimour?

Li Mosi nodded and then asked.

"Besides Gaimour, who else among the soldiers has done something atrocious?"

Ziwang shook his head.

"My lord, I just got back and don't know yet."

This doesn't affect anything.

Li Mosi started talking about the next thing.

"You and we will bring out all the soldiers from the outer and middle layers of the fortress and tell them to drop their weapons. The soldiers in the town will surround the town, and the soldiers in the manors will go back to their manors and bring their people over."
