Chapter 424 Self-Rescue Guide
In Windsor Castle, Perfectcott was constantly dealing with various matters, big and small, and was very busy.
The empire is about to announce the news of the end of the world. Naturally, Purfict, an important imperial minister who has been in charge of this matter, will return to Langton to take charge to ensure that the empire can survive the final stage smoothly.
As the empire announced the news of the end of the world, whether it is Perficott or the empire center, there are countless things to do if they want to finally survive the doomsday crisis. It popped up all of a sudden and I didn’t know how to proceed.
Fortunately, Purfico warned the empire three years ago. Although the efficiency of the noble council caused a lot of time to be wasted, as the empire center confirmed the news of the doomsday, Purfico Te also gradually gained power. Even with the empire's consistently low administrative efficiency, the empire's 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, there are many things that need to be decided and properly arranged besides building the shelter.
For example, who is qualified to go to the North and get a ticket to board the "Ark"?
Of course the nobles think they are qualified, but it is obvious that not all nobles are qualified to go to the North this time.
Perfict emphasized at the Imperial Council a long time ago that those nobles who have nothing to contribute to the empire and society and have no talent to contribute are not qualified to go to the north. They are The part that was abandoned.
Even the Duke of Gloucester and other dignitaries in the center of the empire have no objection to this.
After all, Purficott has emphasized from the beginning that the carrying capacity of the North is limited, and only a limited number of people can be allowed to go to the North to avoid the end of the world. Whether they are civilians or nobles, a considerable part will be abandoned.
It’s just that relatively speaking, the total number of civilians who have been abandoned is greater, while the proportion of nobles who have been abandoned is even greater.
But who is qualified to live and who should be given up needs to be evaluated by people qualified to make decisions.
In order to complete this matter, the empire set up a special evaluation team, and in order to avoid someone using the back door to gain connections, Purficott personally sat in the team and was responsible for the final review.
Of course, she is not the kind of person who is absolutely ruthless. Some nobles who do not meet the standards and requirements have been submitted. As long as they are not too outrageous and she feels that these people can still send a certain amount of Even if it is useful, she will still turn a blind eye and let some people who are passable or not pass through.
It is true that the carrying capacity of the North is limited, but that does not mean that it cannot accommodate thousands of nobles.
It's just that this passable premise makes her feel "passable", that is, there is still some merit, but it is just not enough to pass the normal standard, so she can be let go in this way. The nobles who have passed the time are still of some use.
At least there are family members who serve in the imperial army or government departments, and they have received an average education from the nobility, without any bad marks.
Although these people are not of great use, it is not a big problem to serve as some low-level civil servants and be stationed in management positions in the shelters below.
The North has always lacked enough grassroots talents, and these people can still fill part of the gap.
As for those nobles who are really just corpses, only know how to show off, and have a bad reputation, that's very embarrassing, and Purficott doesn't intend to let any of them go.
Even in order to stabilize social order and allow the final transfer to proceed smoothly, after Purficott returned to Langton and assumed power, he directly asked the military to start dealing with these people. Of course the military understands what Purficott means, and also knows that extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, so the usual behavior of turning a blind eye has now been severely punished. The military even directly dispatched close-quarters troops. The guards are here to deal with those nobles who want to cause trouble at this time.
In addition to these things, Purficott also took the time to write a self-help guide.
After all, even if the empire itself is abandoned, there is still a huge population base here. Although Purficott coldly abandoned them, he did not really watch them die.
The self-rescue guide explains in detail the situation of the apocalyptic winter and introduces some methods that can help ordinary people survive in the apocalyptic winter.
If ordinary people can follow the contents of this booklet, although there is no guarantee that they will survive, they can at least survive the initial cold winter.
The reason why Purficott wanted to abandon the mainland of the empire was, on the one hand, because of the lack of local resources. Without the import of overseas colonies, the mainland of the empire could not support the huge consumption of maintaining the mainland.
On the other hand, the empire has a huge population base. Such a large population will expose many social problems when facing a doomsday crisis.
But this does not mean that the mainland of the empire will not have a chance to survive the end of the world. If someone can organize the people who stayed in the mainland and follow the self-rescue guide she left, they will still have it. The chance and hope of living.
Of course, this is just a chance to survive in the early stages of the apocalyptic winter.
After all, as the extreme cold continues to intensify, even the northern border cannot guarantee that everyone can survive, let alone the mainland of the empire.
Perfect just gave them a vague hope that they could survive the initial stage. After that, maybe she could free up her hands from the north and find ways to improve the situation in the empire.
But this is all a thing for another day. All she can do now is to compile such a self-rescue guide, and then ask the empire’s propaganda department to print and distribute more, so that the general public will not really feel that they are being abused by the empire. gave up.
If that were the case, the problem would be quite serious. After all, you have no way to predict what kind of crazy behavior a person will do when he can't survive.
She has seen enough these days, those who commit suicide, those who want to kill others, and those who even want to destroy the world before the end of the world...
Perfect has appreciated the diversity of human species. Enough was enough, she didn't want things to get any worse.
And she already has enough to do now, and she doesn't want to add more work to herself.
However, while she was busy, someone came and interrupted her work.
"Your Majesty, the Patriarch of the Church is here to visit!" A palace attendant interrupted her work and informed her of a somewhat unexpected news.
