Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Beginning of Chaos
After three days of tentative action, Sheldon returned to Remloth Fort City Hall and reported what he had been finding for several days to Murphy and Arthas, among other leaders.
When he received Sheldon's report, Murphy was still sleeping, and he was woken up by Arthas, and his whole person looked a little dizzy.
"Well, yes, this Sheldon is quite talented, I think we can focus on cultivating it in the future. Murphy flipped through the pages of the aristocracy's reaction report in his hand and couldn't help but admire.
"He was originally just a minor official, and he has been maintaining order among the masses when dealing with the crisis of the broken city, and his performance is extremely good, even ordinary people can remain calm in the face of the danger of breaking the city, so I promoted him to be the director of the political office, in charge of the affairs related to civil affairs of the city hall. Seeing Murphy praising Sheldon, Arthas also interjected two sentences, which shows that he is still very satisfied with Sheldon's work efficiency.
"Shhh
"Your Highness, how are you?, have you had a migraine problem again?" Philip and Althaston on the side were a little panicked, but because Murphy refused to use the giant beaver brain powder, they didn't know what to do, so they had to wait anxiously beside them.
Murphy covered his head, the pain was unbearable, but there was no way, if he didn't rely on potions, he could only resist the past, and these pains were inevitable.
"Sechasa, Bebalethagarava of the Witch Realm, Bashita ......" An obscure spell came to Murphy's mind, gradually eliminating Murphy's migraine and allowing him to return to normal as soon as possible.
After a while, under the continuous wear and tear of the spell, the migraine completely faded, and Murphy's mind was cleared again.
"Murphy boy, you've been too tired lately, you need to pay more attention to rest, you're not me, you can work day and night. Carolen's voice rang in Murphy's head, awakening him to the impression that he was not clear because of the sharp pain just now.
"I see, thank you Master Carolon for the 'Clarity Spell', I knew I had learned some spells too. Murphy thought first a thank you, then a self-deprecation.
"Don't blow it, the threshold for spelling is not as low as other subclasses, the requirements are high, and you are not qualified to learn now. Carolon teased for a moment and continued, "Well, I'll give you two magic paintings, not dependent, but I can't cure the mage's classic disease, migraine. ”
"It's okay, then I'm not polite to you, I really need this thing. Murphy didn't have any pretensions with Carolen, and replied in his heart.
"Okay, go get busy with you, I'm going to start my research too, don't bother me if it's not a big deal, I'm going to stay in this lab for a few decades. After saying that, Carolon severed the soul link and continued to devote himself to the research of the next generation of new steam engines.
"I'm alright, where did we just go?" asked Murphy as he returned to his spirits and turned to the two Arthas standing next to him.
"The reaction of the nobles ......"
Speaking of which, according to Sheldon's survey of the various nobles, about two-thirds or more of the nobles were suspicious and suspicious of my reform actions, and in serious cases, they even planned to rebel and defect to the enemy country. Murphy looked at the report in his hand and began to explore.
"Yes, and the leader of these opposition nobles is currently the strongest single combat force in Remlos Fort except for Lord Carolen, a third-level peak major order mage, and the master of Fam Town, Viscount Kubi. "Thinking of this, Arthas actually has a bit of a headache, in case Viscount Kuber leads people to rebel, it will be really a big trouble, after all, it is not so easy to deal with a third-level peak transcendent, at least a dozen low-level transcendental tacit cooperation is needed to control it.
And the reason why the nobles are strong is not because of their own extraordinary ability, but because of the recruitment ability given to them by the system, a viscount nobleman can recruit troops with all his might, and he can recruit an army of nearly a thousand people, including dozens of low-level transcendentals.
In the event of a rebellion between Viscount Kub and his subordinate barons, it is necessary to consider whether other nobles will cooperate in launching a rebellion, and then Remlos Castle, which is rarely peaceful, will be turbulent due to the war, causing great economic losses.
Both of them were silent, as long as the new policy was indeed implemented, it would inevitably damage the inherent interests of these nobles, and these nobles were not necessarily willing to act according to the new rules, which was extremely tricky to deal with.
"Why don't we strike first?" Arthas whispered to Murphy's side, seeing that there was no one left and right.
"No, if they don't do it first, and we arrest people directly, how will the Grand Duke of the North and even the royal family explain it?" Murphy shook his head, "However, you still have to inform Simon and tell them to be ready for battle at all times." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. Arthas nodded in response, "Your Highness, what if the nobles delay in launching a rebellion and refuse to cooperate with the new policy?"
"I said that if they don't do it, we won't have a reason to get rid of them, but there's no reason to create a reason, so it's not hard for you to do this, right?"
Arthas raised an eyebrow, understanding what Murphy meant, "You mean?"
"It's good for you to understand for yourself, there are some things that don't need to be said. Murphy looked at Arthas and smiled harmlessly.
"I understand, I'll do it. ”
"Remember, don't delay the big reform, you must implement it as soon as possible. ”
"The subordinates obeyed. ”
Arthas nodded, pulling out another document.
"Your Highness, this is a specific matter related to compulsory education, please take a look at it. With that, he handed the file to Murphy.
"Say it, I'm listening. Murphy was also looking listlessly at the results of the training of the police force since the establishment of the Security Service.
"That's right, by your standards, I have built four elementary schools and two evening schools in the city, which are still being renovated.
"The enrollment target for the first year of the primary school is about 5,000 students, mainly from the age of 12 to 14, and it is expected to allocate a hundred teachers, most of these teachers are mage apprentices or down-to-earth professionals, do you think it is reliable?"
"If it's unreliable, you have to let them go, what about night school?"
"The night school requires the town hall to mobilize the lords in the territory to go to the lectures on their own, but many of the lords are not interested in this, because the fifty-seven teachers of the night school are all idle knights, which makes the people fearful. ”
"Then spread the word to them, knowledge can change fate, and I'll summarize a promotional material for you later, you can take a look. Murphy put down the papers in his hand.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, Your Highness. ”。
"What's the situation, why are you so dignified?"
"Your Highness, there is chaos in the country. ”
