Chapter Ninety-Six: The Opposite Path

After the family affairs are discussed, it is time to talk about state affairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Gray, who had had enough of the black face, pulled Yunxin back to his place, and then asked Maier and the four girls to return to their seats. Although Mel is the king of the Kingdom of Byrons, and now he is talking about state affairs, but all the people present are family members, or people who may become family members, so this is still a family meeting, and Gray still has to sit on the chair.

After everyone sat down, Gray cleared his throat and said.

"When it comes to children, they must be disciplined when they should be disciplined, especially when they are not on the right path. You can even break their legs, even if you make them crawl and walk the right way, you can't let them run wild on the evil path with those legs, you know? ā€

Everyone was taught, even the Nami monks and Yanhe, who were much older than Gray. No matter how old they were, they all carried Mel's child in their wombs, and they were on the same level as Mel in terms of generation, and they were considered Gray's juniors. The younger generation must show due respect after listening to the teachings of the elders, and in this regard, even the Yanhe who is loud on weekdays can do it.

"But you should not 'bully others', don't think that you are an elder, you can call at the younger ones, if the children do not do what they want, they are said to have gone down the wrong path, which is not right. As elders, you should always examine yourselves and be on the right path. You are a role model for your children, and if you are not on the right path, how can you ask your children to be on the right path? You must remember that the elders are not the capital you use to oppress the younger generations, and the seniority means responsibility! Each of you has this responsibility on your shoulders! ā€

"If you abandon this responsibility for the sake of selfish interests and vanity, you are not worthy to be the elders of the younger generations! Nor worthy to teach! If you want to teach someone in a certain area, you must do it yourself, and this is called 'teaching by example'! I tell you again, as parents, you must always be vigilant and walk on the right path! Because only then can your children be on the right path! ā€

Gray's words are summarizing what happened just now, and by the way, he is teaching his sons, daughters-in-law and prospective daughters-in-law. After that, Gray got to the point.

"Of course, if the child does a good job, he should praise or praise, thank or thank, and award or award. Myer, you've done a lot of great things since you came down the mountain. If you don't look at the mistakes you made not long ago, I can say to you from the bottom of my heart that you are already a very good man. You have also done me a great favor, and I would like to thank you. As for the reward, I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll owe it for the time being, and I'll reward you when I think about it. ā€

When praising Mel, Gray did not forget to slap him with the mistakes he had made, so as not to make him proud.

Reward what...... I'm not a kid anymore.

Gray's tone upset Myer, but he didn't dare to contradict Gray as he did on the mountain. No way, who made him just make a mistake?

"Your new shrine is doing a great job. Ira's shrine maidens should not be on high in the first place, but should be as diligent as the first shrine maidens and do more things for the people, so that the people can feel God's love. But this new shrine is still a little lacking, Ira's shrine maiden's ability is given by God, you need to emphasize this, otherwise the people will still recognize the shrine maiden and not the god as before. People are always limited and will always make mistakes. ā€

"Man walks after man like a blind man who is deaf. If the predecessors fall off the cliff, the descendants will also fall. Therefore, one must not only follow man, but also follow God who is in charge of truth and wisdom, which is like tying a rope in God's hand, not only to save oneself from falling off a cliff, but also to save others when they fall. Not only do you teach these things to the people, but you also have to take them to heart. For you are an example to the people, as the parents of the people. If you want to teach the people, you must teach by example. If you say one thing and do another, and only let the people abide by the rules, but you don't follow the rules, you will lose your trust and lose the support of the people. ā€

Again, the people bowed their heads and were taught. Gray gave everyone two minutes to ponder what they had said, and then continued.

"The promotion of the new script has greatly reduced the difficulty of learning the script, and it is very popular with the people, which is a good thing. Listen to Sarin, you want to do away with the old script altogether. If you will listen to my advice, my advice is not to do it. There are two sides to everything, and the new script is easier to learn and use than the old one, but the classics of all ethnic groups are written in the old script. You can have people translate these texts, but there has to be someone who can read the original text, right? If there is a mistake in the translation, and when the people who know the old text are dead, and the people who come after them cannot understand the original text, they can only regard the mistake as correct, isn't that harmful? Therefore, the old script cannot be abolished, not only can we not abolish the old script, but also set up special colleges and universities to train relevant talents, so that the old script can continue forever. ā€

Maier chewed on Gray's words, and felt that the old words really could not be abolished, so he nodded.

"It's just as you want it to be."

His reaction was expected by Gray, so Gray just smiled and continued.

"That's all I have to suggest, and I don't have much else to say. Oh, by the way, I'm going to praise you for your agricultural reforms, that 'hybridization' is really powerful, not only can it shorten the ripening time of crops, but it can also increase yields by a factor of 15! Don't you see Pershing's joy when he learns of the grain harvest, the whole person is about to float. ā€

The first seeds cultivated using hybrid technology were planted at the beginning of November 136 of the new calendar, and the harvest was reached by the end of November. The first batch of seeds was distributed to the villages affiliated with Hope City, and when they were planted, farmers found that the necrosis rate of the seeds was half lower than usual. When it was time for the harvest, the farmers were stunned. The crops that were planted in less than a month harvested more grain than they could have grown in two years.

The food production of the territory has increased by a factor of fifteen, which means that the kingdom of Byron will not be short of food in the future. By the time Mel returned home, the kingdom of Byron had built dozens of new granaries, all of which were full, and there was still surplus grain for export. Because the farmers only bought seeds from the government and did not know about the hybridization technology, the neighboring countries did not know what was going on with the bumper harvest in the Kingdom of Byrons, and they did not send anyone to steal the seeds and grain.

The hybrid technology is Liu Xiu's credit, and Meier did not mean to rob his subordinates of the credit, so he truthfully explained the matter and said that he would definitely give Liu Xiu a salary increase in the future. After that, Maier took the opportunity to talk about his experience in the "Golden Bird" settlement.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Taeyong elves didn't use any hybridization techniques, but their food production was much higher than the kingdom's current yield. According to the data provided by Daddy, I think their food production is at least five times that of the kingdom at this stage. The land of the elven colony is blessed by the gods that the seeds will not die, and the crops will be plentiful and full, and if they are allowed to use the seeds cultivated by hybridization, the yield may be further increased. ā€

"You're going to share your hybridization technology with them?" Gray asked.

"Hmm." Maier nodded, "I've already shared military technology with them, and the new musket we brought back is one of the results of this sharing. I want to cooperate fully with Taeyong Fairy and share intelligence and technology in a comprehensive way. I'm going to make a truce with the Tayon nobles first, and then I'm going to start a meeting with the Ilibi allies to get them to join in this cooperation. If things go well, I'm ready to unite the kingdom of Byrons, the Tajon elfs, and the Ilibians into one. When the time comes, we will be on the defensive, and as long as no enemy attacks us, we will not start a war. If I could, I would build walls high enough on the border to separate us from the outside world and try not to interfere with the lives of outsiders. ā€

The Tayrong goblin, who had come to Byron City in advance to report the news, brought fifty new rifles, each with twenty rounds of fixed ammunition. On their way to the city of Byrons, they encountered a gang of outlaws, firing about 200 rounds of ammunition, and more than 800 rounds remaining, barely enough bullets.

These rifles were highly valued by the kingdom's higher-ups, and Gray, Sarin, and Yu Changnian all personally test-fired the new rifles, and were amazed at its power and reloading efficiency. The Tajon elves don't trust anyone other than Myr, so they don't answer any questions they ask, just telling everyone that Mel will arrive in Byron City someday.

In fact, before the Tajon elves arrived in Byron City, a cavalry patrol came back to report that a large contingent of Tajon goblins had appeared in such and such a place, including several people of unknown race. However, it is not uncommon for Tairong goblins to go to Byron City, so for those who don't know, this is just a large team of Tajon goblins.

Mair didn't know that the Ira had declared war on the Tayyongs, and according to the situation before he left, as long as his side fought a few more good battles and saved up enough chips, he could force the Taeyong nobles to sit at the negotiating table. At that time, as long as he takes the initiative to give up the right to claim the territory of the Tairong people outside his control, the Tairong nobles have a good chance of agreeing to a ceasefire.

The current situation is that even if Maier takes possession of the Xiaohu family, the Taeyong nobles will accept the ceasefire demand. No way, who made Meier's side two to one? Until the Taiyong find a reliable ally, trying to reconcile with one of them is their only means of victory.

Now, with the exception of the Kingdom of Ergus, all the ancient kingdoms that participated in the war have withdrawn from the war. The Ilibi army is strict in discipline, does not disturb the people, does not plunder, and does not attract hatred; The Ira people have a slave culture, but the social structure of the Ira people is completely different from that of the Tugu people, and the demand for their slaves is limited, and they don't have to rob the population like the Tugu people, and it is enough to capture prisoners of war, so they can't pull hatred. As for the kingdom of Byron and the kingdom of Tairong, that's not to mention. The banner of Maier is to "save the Tayyong people from the Tayyong nobles", and those who are dissatisfied with the Tayrong nobles want Mair to liberate them, how can they hate Maier?

The remaining enemies can't pull up hatred, so the hatred of the Tayons against foreign enemies is decreasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the fact that the Taeyong people were fighting two all-out racial wars at the same time, and the long-standing racial contradictions had also erupted in full force, the Taeyong people would definitely have become war-weary by now.

Mel's decision came as a complete surprise to Gray. According to his plan, by 138 AH at the latest, the Kingdom of Byron and its allies would launch a full-scale attack on the Tairongs. By then, the Ira offensive should have ended, the various forces were digesting the results of the battle, the main force of the Taiyong people had been lost, and the kingdom of Byron and its allies would seize large swathes of territory with a whirlwind.

Those forces who stand on the sidelines will surely attack the Tayrons after the Kingdom of Byron and its allies launch an attack to snatch the fruits of victory. According to Gray's calculations, within five years, the Tairong nobles will be completely wiped out. In this way, the new world will have one less power. While the forces digest the results of the war, the Ilibi League can take the opportunity to unite into a unified state and become part of the Kingdom of Byrons, so that the Kingdom of Byrons will become the most powerful force in the New World.

At that time, the kingdom of Byron will become the number one enemy of all forces. They will form a network of sieges and try to dismember this powerful country. The new world is destined to break out into a world-class war, if the current Iraan Emperor is not dead at that time, the Ira people will become allies of the Byronic Kingdom, if he is dead by then, the Byron Kingdom is likely to have one more enemy.

No matter how many enemies there are, Gray is sure to win the final victory. Because there is more than one enemy of the kingdom of Byrons, they all have their own evil intentions and will not be closely united. The kingdom of Byron can divide its enemies in a variety of ways, leaving them to fight in their nests. The kingdom of Byron can take advantage of the opportunity to grow and grow until the entire world is conquered.

Gray wants to unify the world by means of military conquest, and then change it completely. Before he went to the Taeyong Elf Settlement, Maier thought the same thing, but Taejung's way of thinking changed his mind. He wants to respect everyone's choice, that's why he wants to "divide and rule".

Both father and son want to change the world, but they take completely opposite paths. Gray felt that Mayer's plan would lead to an endless war, and Meier felt that Gray's plan was too bloody, and the two had no intention of giving in, and they were at a stalemate in the council chamber. To the women's surprise, the father and son did not quarrel, both wanted to convince each other to support them, and they talked calmly from beginning to end, without even mood swings when they spoke.

But because of this, the women in the council chamber were scared. Both sides have a tough attitude, and both bluntly point out the shortcomings of the other party's plan, giving people the feeling that the other party may explode in the next second. The women knew that they couldn't intervene in this matter, and they could have left directly, but they were afraid that as soon as they left, the father and son would fight, so they could only sit in their seats and wait for the result.
