Paraven, raindrops flying

The fat man is high in the undulating hills outside the city, staring at this city known as the center of the continent, the tall city wall is like a huge sleeping dragon, occupying the center of the earth, high walls, round towers, three defensive walls inside and outside, the big river with rolling white waves winds like a link from the edge of the city bypass, "Bell! bell!" A clear morning bell echoed in the distance, through the early morning rain and fog into the fat man's ears,

Four stone bridges leading to the city, the scale-like dense spire buildings loom in the white rain and mist, black dots wriggling on the road like ants, the guards are basically invisible on the city wall, empty and lazy, the gray and white stone body is reflected in the white raindrops, as illusory as unreal, after the vicissitudes of the heavy blow to the face, I don't know why, the fat man gave birth to an inexplicable melancholy,

The hills outside the city, where the army once gathered, were already a sea of golden wheat moving with the wind, the peasants were busy harvesting the ripe wheat in the rain, and the wagons carrying the wheat were constantly coming and going on the trade road leading to the city, and the traces of the war seemed to have dissipated with this qiē, there was no cold light of swords and guns, no fierce fighting, and few people would remember that in the southern part of Parabun, the tragic battle in which the two sides combined with more than 300,000 troops,

In that battle, the fat man set up an ambush in the Staros Hills with 100,000 troops, defeated the 200,000 troops who sneaked up from the rear, and planted the eagle banner of the empire on the top of the thousand-year-old imperial capital.

The raindrops hit the wind on his face, and it also wet the beautiful earth in the fat man's eyes, and the fat man also knew that this was the most difficult thing, so he could only try his best to adopt a soft policy to heal the wounds caused by the war in the war-torn area.

Enactment of agrarian reform. Under the policy of the Empire, this academy, which is regarded as a collection of continental cultures, has not only served the nobility and the military, but has opened up more opportunities for civilians to learn, and some disciplines that were previously only for the nobility were opened to the nobles, within the Empire. Accounting, finance, history, and other disciplines that used to serve only the aristocracy began to become the most favored professions of choice for merchants and commoners.

The education of the academy is like a flickering light of civilization, promoting the process of civilization in the empire.

Compared with the military academy of the Imperial Army, this academy has cultivated countless strong soldiers of Rui Erdian. Now it has really turned to the ordinary people's livelihood, scholars gather, and every day, you can see ordinary citizens standing in the corridors of the college

Or maybe it's the tragic Paravenian unrest. Touched the nerves of this imperial university, the war was not epic beauty and grandeur, but blood, cruelty. Away from chaos, and even ruin,

Anyone who has experienced it and got rid of it. I have to reflect on this question, war and people's livelihood, who is the most important thing to teach in the college!

"Your Majesty, do we need to inform Captain Hukochili?" a guard came up from behind and whispered to His Majesty the Falcon, who was looking out at the city in the distance

"No, just passing by, you don't need to trouble him!" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled, and he withdrew his gaze from a distance, which was also embarrassing to say, as the promoter of the war of continental unification, the fat man did not directly attack Paravon in the battle of Ruierdian, but waved his army to bypass Paravon and go straight to the south, his gaze at the center of the continent was more on the strategic map, rather than looking at it with a peaceful mind as now,

On Ryrdian's map, Parabun is located in the center of the Parabun Plain, with vast northern hills at the top and rolling mountain basins below, with the towering Dorok Mountains forming a natural barrier on the left side that curves and scavenges.

From the strategic point of view, the Parabun Plain is surrounded by high mountains, with the three northern counties guarding the important land in front and the southern mountains blocking the back.

As long as you control the three northern counties in the north, plus the passes of Yeruige and the dense castle complexes in the plains,

Just like Xianyang in Qin, with its unique geographical advantages, it occupies the densely populated and fertile Palaubon Plain, and uses it as a base to launch an invasion of the central and northern regions of the mainland.

For hundreds of years, this has also been the national policy of Rui Erdian, and Paravon is the engine that determines this qiē.

According to incomplete statistics, in the war between Rui Erdian and the Dongting people, the reserve army provided by the Palau Bun area reached 400,000 people before and after, and Palau Bun almost alone supported the entire war.

The long arrows of the Dongting people tried to pierce the continent, but they were held back in Paraven, and finally exhausted their strength, and were defeated by the fat man, and picked up a big bargain, "Come ten people and follow me to the Paraven Academy! The others go to the military camp in the city to supply the war horses and rest, we still have a long way to go! I don't want to be starved to death halfway!" The fat man smiled and waved his hand to the guards behind him,

The style of this continental center, whether it is political, economic, cultural or military, has a pivotal position for the empire.

And to really understand this place, the fat man suddenly remembered an old friend, Duo Xue! This former Speaker General of the Dorok region studied the doctrine of democracy at the Parabun Academy, and his gaze was more in line with the gaze of a ruler

Although the fat man is not optimistic about the practice of practicing democracy in a corner in a war-torn world, he also has to admit that Duo Zhi is an excellent politician, but it is also the greatest sorrow of Duo Choice to forcibly push this politician to the position of war commander.

What is needed for war is a strong dictatorship, a strong army equipped with the strength of the whole country,

Such a mechanism can make it possible to concentrate a country's strength on foreign wars to the greatest extent, just like two people fighting to the death, who can gather the strongest forces first, who can win in the end.

However, Duoxuan, a pioneer of democracy, advocates equality for all and co-management of the state, and this seemingly infinitely beautiful system is a joke if there is no complete institutional guarantee.

Any system depends on people, some people have selfishness, there is greed, and the multi-choice parliamentary system obviously goes wrong in this regard, although the local parliaments seem to be fair, in fact, selfish interests are rampant, arbitrary taxation, the interests of ordinary people are encroached upon by those in power, the army's materials are exploited layer by layer, plus the already weak economic foundation. Dorok's national strength is declining invisibly, and he can't even pull out the army that really looks good, and as for the so-called national mobilization launched in the later stage, it almost pushed a nation to the brink of extinction

This is not a blessing for democracy, but a curse for democracy!

Duo Zhi is also reflecting, and at the last moment he chose to give the choice to the people of Aaron, at this point, the fat man also has to admire the mind of this pioneer of democracy and is willing to give up all power. When a mistake is found to be irreparable, a person who surrenders himself to his own enemies is filled with true ideals in his heart. And being willing to give his life for it, this is a great sentiment, although such people are rare in human society, but they are indeed the backbone of the entire civilization forward. Duo Zhi is the only one among all the leaders of the forces who can retreat with his whole body.

Raindrops hit the pavement of the streets. Turning into a crystal clear water color, cleaning the road surface, Parabun has already formed a complete sewer system after hundreds of years of continuous repairs in Reldian, and the canopies stretching out from both sides of the street hold up a rain strip for passers-by.

The fat man suddenly stopped the horse's hooves, in front of him, there was a huge network of roads extending in all directions, there were not many people on the streets, but there were many carriages, although the glorious era of Ruierdian was gone, but you can still see a lot of gorgeous carriages with family badges, you can't see the people inside, but you should also use a nostalgic and sad gaze, looking out of the window as the rain in the past

I'm embarrassed to say, but the truth is, the dead fat man is lost!

He had examined the city on the map countless times, but when he really entered the interior of this huge city, this was the first time, after turning a few corners indiscriminately, the road in front of him became narrower and narrower, and even an ox cart with a few bags of wheat slowly overtook from the fat man, "It's a bit embarrassing to say it" The fat man's face was slightly red, and he coughed a little embarrassed, and ordered the guards behind him, "Ahem, you go and ask the ox cart in front, the ...... of the Parabun Academy" "Squeak" The ox cart stopped at the door of a small earth-colored building in front of the fat man, and the person who drove the car got down from his seat and struggled to lift a bag of wheat on the ox cart.

The person in front turned his head, his emaciated face revealed an unyielding perseverance, although he looked a little older than Doroke, but the light in his eyes still did not decrease in the slightest, it was the luster of the pursuit of ideals, not who else could it be,

"Vecchia Falcon!"

Duo Xue was also stunned for a moment when he saw the fat man, who would have thought that he would meet the master of the empire in this kind of horn

"What? Don't you even ask for a glass of water?" The fat man got off the war horse and walked towards Duoxuan, although the earth-colored small building in front of him looked dilapidated, but on the whole it was quite stylish, in front of it was a garden ten meters long and wide, and the fence forged by pig iron was inlaid with carved flowers, which seemed a little cold, strict, to the same feeling as Duoxuan, the fat man knew that Duoxuan's lifestyle has always been simple, and even a little similar to the feeling of an ascetic, in the values of Duoxuan, thought is always more valuable than treasure

"There's nothing to entertain here, if you don't dislike it, just drink some of this Bieber leaf water that I grew myself!" On the second floor of the earth-colored building, Duo Xue brought the fat man a cup of hot water, on which floated a few emerald leaves of unknown kind

The guards took it and prepared to try it first, so as not to be poisoned, no matter what, multiple choices were once enemies of the Empire,

"Don't try, I'm sure the choice won't hurt me!"

The fat man said after his face was calm, the guard hesitated, and finally handed the water to the fat man, the fat man blew lightly on the surface of the water, and poured it without hesitation, the taste was sweet and bitter, revealing a faint fragrance of leaves

"This is the leaves of Biebergrass in Aaron's hometown, soaking in water can refresh the mind, and when I left Aaron, I brought seeds with me, and planting them in the yard is also a companion!" "Duo Zhi looked at the fat man calmly took a sip of the leaves he had soaked and said, looking at the emerald grass outside the window, and said in a flat tone, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?" You know, there is no shortage of monarchs in history who died because of carelessness" "I don't know about others, but you won't!" said the fat man with certainty

"Why?"

"Because I haven't received your report on the end of Democracy," the fat man smiled slyly, put down his glass, and blinked his eyes, "If I'm going to die." Your "Theory of Democracy" will never be finished, and in your heart, it is much more valuable than a tyrant like me!"

Hearing the fat man call himself a "tyrant", Duo Xue seemed to remember the past years, his emaciated face turned red unexpectedly, and he smiled awkwardly, "Don't mention the previous things again, now I understand that democracy without the support of strong force is just a pseudo-democracy, and power and duty are equal." The premise for the people to enjoy democracy is that everyone must fight to ensure democracy! This is the conclusion that I have been pondering for more than half a year." "What happened to the ox cart and the wheat?" The fat man picked up the water glass on the table, glanced out curiously, and asked curiously

He didn't expect that the life of Duoxuan in Parabun was like this, but this kind of life seems to be closer to the truth, and everyone, no matter how much aura they have, is always inseparable from the essence of human beings. Eat, drink, Lazar and sleep, when the prosperity is gone, everything returns to the real ordinary, "That's the ten-day salary issued by the college!"

Duo Xue replied indifferently, "You should have thought of it, although Parabun Academy has accepted a lot of students. But there are not many people who are really rich, and many times, most of the poor students use food instead of tuition fees, and the college directly forwards these grains to us" "Food as wages!" The fat man's face suddenly gloomy. "What if you need money, do you want to exchange food for money?" isn't that nonsense! The academy is the highest institution of education in the Empire, let alone schools in other regions, and it seems that I am too derelict in my duties. "There's nothing to feel guilty about with such an education!" "There's nothing to feel guilty about!" Duo Xue said with a calm face and a bright look in his eyes, "The mainland has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and all the educational forces have been pushed to the army, in the past, except for the military schools that train officers, no other schools have ever existed, let alone like now, although they are simple, hundreds of kinds of schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and these schools are all over the central and southern regions of the continent

There are not only colleges for teaching accounting and finance, but also extension centers for teaching agricultural farming, apprenticeship for merchants, training schools for seafarers, and schools for craftsmen.

Duoxuan's voice stopped, and said in a tone of admiration, "Actually, when I was Aaron, I also had the idea of running a people's livelihood school, but I also knew that the difficulty of running a school is not only a matter of money, but also of educational talents, without a school, there will be no specialized talents, who will educate new students, and whether the skills they have learned can promote the development of the whole society? These are all questions.

And what makes us feel fortunate is that within the empire now, all kinds of industries can have opportunities for development and can be respected, which is a sign that the golden age is coming!" "Golden Age?" The fat man smashed his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "The golden age is the era of rapid development of science and culture that our scholars call themselves" Duo Xue smiled and quickly explained. So I and those scholars in Parabun think that you have done a good enough, after all, the people's livelihood education on the mainland has been suffocated for 500 years due to the war, and it is not an overnight thing if you want to cross it in one breath, but I believe that the Ikadivar continent will finally make up for the hollowness of the 500-year rebellion because of the situation you have created today."

"Or maybe you're right, but the whole situation is still too ......" The fat man shook his head helplessly, "The empire's finances are about 20 million a quarter, but the military expenditure accounts for three-quarters, plus the other seven, seven, eighty, and eight expenses, and finally falls on education, it would be good to have one-tenth, this is my dereliction of duty! Next quarter, I will deliberately set aside one-fifth for the popularization of education in the empire, especially in the study of various skills, the empire is in urgent need of talents in this area!" "You mean Obarro?" Duo Xue is worthy of being the speaker of the council, and immediately guessed the meaning of the fat man's words, "Sort of, the empire needs to expand externally, it is not enough to rely on the army alone, the Normandy region is still a wasteland, the empire needs someone to manage, and more talents in people's livelihood are needed to fill it, these are not things that the army can do by simply fighting" The fat man nodded noncommittally, "I passed by Parabun this time, and it was because of this that I thought of you"

"Me?" said a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "Normandy is a region far from the Empire, and I need someone with cultural influence to guard it,

The most important thing is that this person is not a martial artist who only knows how to kill!" The fat man stared at Duo Xuan with blazing eyes, and the implication was already obvious,

The empire needed a softer image, one that could be in good harmony among the several countries around Normandy.

There are really not many such talents in an empire that is accustomed to the iron blood of soldiers, and this person must be an influential civilian,

Prais could, but it was obviously inappropriate to have the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire be the governor of a region.

And Prais is sometimes overly tough and stubborn, and it's easy to mess things up,

Relatively speaking, the resolute character and accustomed to dancing between the forces of all parties is undoubtedly the best candidate, and the most reassuring thing for the fat man is that this democratic brother has almost zero ambition and no worries!
