The Independence Celebrations in Krasbourg came to an end, with the departure of the envoys who had come to watch the ceremony, but the streets of the capital did not fall silent, thanks to the sensational effect of the "sanctification ceremony".

One by one, those who had been consecrated in Sindra Cathedral left Krasbourg contentedly, and the ritual of consecration stimulated their religious fervor and spontaneously took on the role of missionaries on their way home, telling every stranger they met on the journey about the miracles that had happened in Krasbourg, encouraging their fellow citizens to embark on a pilgrimage in order to attain the salvation of their souls as soon as possible.

In this way, news of the new regime and the sanctification rites in the Far East spread by word of mouth, radiating from the capital to the surrounding areas and all the way to the borders of the kingdom.

Sooner or later, when the people of all parts of the world learned of this good news, it was probably difficult to resist the urge to make a pilgrimage to Krasbourg, and even if they could not leave for the time being because they were busy with farm work, they would have a thought in their hearts: they would have to make a pilgrimage to the capital's cathedral, otherwise their lives would be in vain, and they would fall into purgatory and suffer from the flames after death.

Driven by this popular consensus, every time someone left Krasbourg after the pilgrimage, someone would enter the city in search of salvation, so that Krasbourg continued to be lively in the days after the celebration.

The constant influx of pilgrims from afar into Krasbourg brought both trouble and opportunity.

The new police commissioner, Mr. Kemp, has been very busy recently, and the sudden increase in the floating population has put a lot of pressure on the maintenance of order in the city, and there has been a marked increase in law and order incidents such as petty theft and fighting, and occasional homicides, so that Kemp has to ask his police to patrol the streets day and night.

The good thing about the pilgrimage boom is that it stimulates commercial activity, and thousands of pilgrims come to Colasburg every day, and after the pilgrimage, it is indispensable to stay in the capital for a few days to visit and buy some souvenirs to take home as gifts for relatives and friends, which creates a series of consumer needs such as accommodation, dining, and shopping. The businessmen of Krasbourg, large and small, are happy these days, wishing that the pilgrimage boom would last forever.

Roland also observed the phenomenon of market activity brought about by pilgrims, and analyzed this phenomenon from the perspective of a traveler, and wrote an article entitled "The Economics of Pilgrimage" and published it in the newspaper.

Roland didn't want readers to focus too much on his own identity rather than his opinions, and he didn't want to mislead and put pressure on administrative officials by expressing negative views about the status quo and criticism of government work in his essays, so he used the pseudonym Liszt Keynes when he published this article.

The pseudonym is made up of the surnames of two economists on Earth, Liszt and Keynes are among the few economists in Roland's mind to be respected.

The great achievements of Sir John Maynard Keynes cannot be explained in two or three sentences, and the macroeconomics he founded, together with the psychoanalysis created by Sigmund Freud and the theory of relativity discovered by Einstein, are called the three revolutions of human knowledge in the twentieth century. Keynesianism and its development doctrine were once the mainstream economic theories recognized in countries after World War II, but it was precisely after Keynes that economics gradually embarked on the wrong path of depoliticization, theologization, and addiction to mathematical games......

In the eyes of the public, Friedrich Liszt is far less famous than Keynes, but as a skeptic and critic of classical economics, this economist who devoted his life to unifying Germany economically and constructing a theoretical system on the premise of serving national interests and social interests, in Roland's view, is even more worthy of admiration than Keynes, a great man buried in the dust of history.

The unification of Germany should be attributed first of all to Bismarck, the "iron-blooded chancellor", and the economic policy implemented during Bismarck's administration was guided by Liszt's theory, which was an important factor in the rise of Prussia and the economic take-off of the First German Reich. It was not until many years later, after the ups and downs of two world wars, that Germany re-emerged from the ashes as an economic power, and its economic policies still bear the imprint of Liszt's doctrine.

There are so many economists on the planet, and there are countless famous ones, why does Roland love Liszt, a "non-mainstream" antique?

The reason is actually very simple, because in the Far East, a country that has just begun industrialization and nationalism is beginning to emerge, there are many similarities with the historical background, geographical environment, and economic foundation of Prussia's rise. Roland has long been soberly aware that if the Kingdom of Kolas wants to embark on the road of becoming a rich country and a strong army, one of the benchmarks worthy of reference in the history of the earth is Prussia.

The regime he promoted in the Far East had a distinct "state monopoly capitalism" color, and further institutional construction would point to Bismarck's so-called "dynastic socialism" road, for which the Far East needed a Bismarck and a Liszt, and Roland had the duty to play the role of Bismarck politically and diplomatically, and economically, he wanted to promote Liszt's economics that had been improved to suit the conditions of the Far East.

In the first article, signed by Liszt Keynes, Roland expressed four views.

One is the affirmation that pilgrims promoted commercial activity in Krasbourg, and an analysis of data collected from a total of 182 markets, large and small, showed that the average transaction value per market increased by 30 per cent, which was undoubtedly good for the vendors, and the government could get more tax revenue from the active market transactions.

At this point, Roland made a suggestion to the majority of pilgrims: don't just focus on the pilgrimage, pay attention to the goods in the capital market, which are the more scarce goods in your hometown and those villages and towns you pass by on the way back, and don't go home empty-handed, buy more according to your personal financial ability, and sell them all the way home to make some money.

In the same way, when you come to Krasbourg in the future, don't go empty-handed, take some local products from your hometown on the road, and sell them all the way to make up for the cost of travel.

If all pilgrims could be inspired by his writings, the pilgrimage would be accompanied by the trade of goods, and religious travel for the purpose of pilgrimage would have spawned commercial activity throughout the country. In this way, it will not be limited to Krasbourg that will benefit from the pilgrimage boom, but will also be able to benefit from the pilgrimage boom throughout the country, as well as more trading opportunities for pilgrims, who are now also traders on foot, and the accompanying sales will greatly facilitate the exchange of goods throughout the Far East, helping to break down regional barriers and foster a unified domestic market.
