Reborn as Hokage, I am actually a god

Arriving at the church office, which looked like a simple private house, the old mayor felt uneasy. He didn't know what the priests wanted to do with him. Even though he was the mayor of Xiyue, he was just randomly selected by the nobles. Just a servant who manages the back garden. Coupled with the fact that he usually behaves fairly, he became the mayor of a small town like Xiyue Town. To put it bluntly, if the townspeople hadn't given him face and a few words from the noble master, he would have been nothing.

After entering the house, Locke saw the slightly uneasy old mayor and comforted him softly, "Old mayor, don't be nervous. We came here because we have been observing for a while and found that the townspeople have many shortcomings in their farming work." , so we want to form a simple farmers' association in the town to help the people in the town develop better. "

After speaking, Locke personally took the kettle on the table and poured a glass of boiling water for the still somewhat confused old mayor.

The old mayor took the boiled water somewhat flattered, and quickly nodded and bowed his head in thanks.

"Old mayor, you don't have to be like this. If you are like this, it means that we have not done our job well enough. We have been here for so long and we are still so alienated from the people here."

"No! No! Pastor... Oh, Captain Locke, you did a good job. It's just me, an old guy, who didn't understand what Captain Locke meant." Seeing the slightly disappointed young man, the old mayor quickly waved his hand and explained. He said that he was really grateful to the group of young people in front of him. If they hadn't driven away the dangerous blood-toothed wild boar, he might not have become the mayor of the town. Those fields would not be his! If the harvest is ruined, I don’t know how the noble master will punish him.

Seeing what the old mayor said, Locke quickly smiled and said, "No need to say this, old mayor. No one is born knowing everything. We will slowly teach you what you don't understand. The same is the purpose of the farmers' association. I just thought The old mayor can take the lead and organize the farmers in the town. We will teach you how to increase the harvest, so that everyone can have enough food and clothing before paying the rent to the nobles.

And for those who have children at home, we also plan to build a school. We hope that the old mayor can spread the word among the townspeople and send ignorant children to learn knowledge. Of course, you don’t have to worry about tuition fees. This is all done voluntarily. , just leave your children to us, and we will definitely educate them to be successful. "

The old mayor listened to all this as if he were reading from heaven. Is there such a good thing in this world? The old mayor felt slightly uneasy.

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you, Captain Locke? We are just untouchables with nothing."

"How come there is nothing left? Old mayor, in our eyes you are the most precious wealth, so don't doubt our intentions. We just can't stand this damn world. It's you who work hard, and But you have nothing. Isn’t this a big joke?” Locke looked at this farmer with firm eyes, like most people in the old society. His dry palms were covered with calluses and his face was as dark as skin and bones. He is still a mayor, which is considered acceptable among most ordinary people.

What should those ordinary people who have nothing to do live like? Locke will never forget what it was like when he and others first came to Yuexi Town, the corpses randomly discarded on the roadside, the women whose relatives were grieving because of wild monster attacks, and the townspeople around them who have become accustomed to it and become numb, living under the holy light. In their era, all this deeply touched the clergymen who came to serve here. It had been so long that they had almost forgotten the dark era told by the elders of the previous generation.

Seeing the really hot look in the young man's eyes, even the old mayor, who had been smoothed out by the world and turned into a philistine, was a little moved for a moment.

"Captain Locke, I have no objection to this matter, but I just don't know if the townspeople in this town agree. You also know that I am just a dog pushed out by the noble Lord. I said that I was told by the noble Lord, but It's just that I like to brag as an old guy, and the noble man never regards me as a human being." The old mayor lowered his head as he spoke.

"Old mayor, you don't have to be like this. As long as you try your best, we won't have any complaints whether you succeed or not. It's just that we didn't do our job well. Take your time. I believe that one day everyone will understand what we are doing." What are you doing?" Seeing this, Locke quickly comforted him. It's not like they don't know how hard the people at the bottom live.

After comforting the old mayor, Locke chatted with him about some family matters and sent the old mayor back politely.

After returning home, the old mayor sat silently in the living room, thinking about what to do about this matter, how to reject the pastors without offending them. After all, this matter is really difficult to handle. Not to mention those half-grown boys, the townspeople cannot send them to school. After all, whose children don’t have to work in the fields, how can they be sent to school like a noble master? Your children have gone to school.

Just when the old mayor was thinking a little upset, he saw his rebellious son running back in a hurry. He was already annoyed, but now he was even more angry, "You rebellious son still knows how to come back and tell you to be nice Farming, but you want to be a mercenary. If you die outside that day, do you think the old man will collect your body?"

The middle-aged man who was originally very happy was greeted with a burst of criticism from his father as soon as he stepped into the house, with a confused look on his face.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? You're so angry today." The middle-aged man looked confused.

"Hmph! A day is full of unpleasant things." The old mayor snorted coldly and glanced at his eldest son angrily.

The man spread his hands speechlessly. What does this have to do with him? Although being a mercenary is dangerous, he has long been tired of the boring days of digging dirt in the fields every day. He has been busy all year long and still can't get anything. I can only make ends meet.

"If anything happens, dad, just tell me. Don't lose your temper every time you see me."

The old mayor glanced at his son stubbornly, but thinking that this brat traveled a lot and must have more knowledge than he did, he reluctantly told what happened today.

The middle-aged man was very curious after hearing this, "Dad, why are you still hesitating about such a good thing? We are so poor. What do those noble priests want from us? Even if they don't want to take this miserable life, they are not willing to do more." It’s a waste of money, let alone teaching children to read. Do you know how important this is? If your son could recognize a few more words, our family would have moved to the city long ago. How could he still be in this small school? The town is scared, no! You can send my son over tomorrow. I don’t want your grandson to miss this opportunity.”

The man became more and more excited as he talked, and his eyes lit up with fire. How important reading and literacy is is something that not his old father, who has rarely left this marginal town in his life, can understand.

Seeing his son's excited expression, the old mayor was stunned for a moment. "Is it really because I think too much?"
