Since the official start of teaching at the Athens Academy, the number of students has increased day by day. Under the call of several university scholars, the fame of the entire college is also growing. Almost every day, many people come here, some to study, some to come to talk and exchange.

And when there are many people, there will inevitably be a variety of voices. Especially when these scholars with their own ideas fight, it is even more lawless.

Every day the academy was filled with shouts of argument and argument, and there were fights every day, and even Zeno, as the vice principal, had no way to manage it. Because Zeno himself is also a leader of a genre, one will accidentally end up in embarrassment and suppress the reputation of dissidents.

As a result, the Athens Academy became more and more chaotic, and even from the academy there was a tendency to develop outside the academy.

When Alan got the news of Sebastian, he sped up his march. Forced to shorten the journey from half a month to ten days.

Alan understood that the struggle of ******** was very cruel, and if it could not be controlled at the beginning of the period, a fixed factional struggle would be formed, and it would become a fire that would not stop until everything was burned down. The tragic memories of the past life are vividly reflected in the ******** struggles that swept billions of people around the world.

So when Alan returned to Essis City, he immediately summoned Zeno to inquire about the situation.

"Lord Duke, you are incompetent and have betrayed the trust of Lord Duke." Zeno bowed to Alan in shame and apologized.

Alan looked at the gray-haired, old man who was already a handful of years, and sighed. Alan was originally very annoyed, he had only been out for two months, and there was such a big mess at home. But thinking that Zeno is still working for himself at such an age, he is not too embarrassed to scold.

"Sir Zeno sit down and speak."

After Zeno sat down, Alan asked, "What's the situation in the academy now?"

Zeno sighed and slowly explained to Allen: "Adults don't know, there are countless schools of thought in the academy at present, but this is not a concern, after all, those small schools will gradually move closer to the big ones. And the biggest problem is the clash of ideas of those large schools. ”

"So what are the big schools in the academy today?"

"Lord Huiduke, the first is the academy, and the academy has the largest number of people, but most of these people are the first batch of students admitted by the Academy of Athens. These students focus on the study of mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and so on. There is generally no conflict with people. ”

Alan nodded.

Zeno continued: "The second is my Stoics, although I have many disciples, but under my suppression, they generally do not clash with others."

"Then there was the conflict between the Stubins, who admired the idea of pleasure, and the Corbyns, who advocated asceticism."

"There are also the Nigels, who advocate freedom and inaction, and the Rauls, who advocate obedience."

"There is also a group of people who claim to be the Kornik faction, and the people of this faction do things without scruples, go their own way, and often cause trouble in the academy." Speaking of this Cornics, Zeno looked disgusted.

After listening to this, Alan said dissatisfiedly to Zeno: "Why is the vice president of your academy not a good management school?"

Zeno heard Allen's questioning and said with a wry smile: "Lord Duke doesn't know anything, and he can't help himself. Normally, I can rely on my position as vice principal to restrain them, but once the argument is intense, as soon as I open my mouth, they will say that I suppress dissidents. For the sake of the honor of the college, I don't know what to do. ”

After listening to Zeno's explanation, Alan sneered, "I'm afraid that the vice principal is not worried about the academy, but about his reputation."

Hearing Allen's point-blank point in his heart, Zeno wanted to refute, but in the end he sighed: "Lord Duke is really far-sighted and penetrating. I also ask the Duke to punish me. ”

Alan glanced at Zeno, and was very angry at Zeno's incompetence in management, but at this time, there was no way to find a person who could replace Zeno with high morality. In the end, Alan thought about it for a while, and still planned to handle it gently.

"The reason why these people have so much effort and strength to quarrel seems to be idle. Zeno, I have an idea here, you listen. If this thing can be done, I can not blame you for your poor management. ”

Zeno asked curiously, "Please let the Duke know."

"I intend to establish the Privy Council, form a cabinet. You go and help me bring the principals, the leaders of these schools, into my cabinet. If this thing is done well, not only will you not be guilty, but you will be meritorious. Alan said his thoughts, in fact, from the moment the academy was established, Allen planned to establish a cabinet.

The establishment of the cabinet can continue to maintain the operation of Essis when Allen leads the troops to the battle, so that Allen has no worries. And one of the most important factors is that it can help Allen share a large part of government affairs. To tell the truth, those territories are missing a cow today, a pig tomorrow or something, and Alan is annoyed to see the report.

So Alan has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Do you want the Cornixites too?"

"Both!"

Allen's idea of establishing a Privy Council fell on Zeno's ears, and it was simply deafening. Zeno gave Eren a deep look. This method was too unexpected for Zeno.

Zeno had expected that Eren would use his power to suppress the feud by force, and even expel a group of people. But Alan actually wanted to pull these people into the inner court.

Zeno knew that these people at the Athens Academy represented the intellectual class in this era, and they were all well-connected. If you offend them, a bad reputation will stink, and this is also where Zeno is most constrained. But once they join Allen's inner court, they will be Allen's officials, and they will be able to find a reason for Allen to do whatever he wants.

Unexpectedly, it had only been a few months, and Allen's impression on Zeno had deepened, and Zeno no longer dared to underestimate this young man. Thinking of this, Zeno respectfully saluted Alan and said, "Follow the orders of the Duke."

Eren waved his hand, and Zeno took his leave.

At this time, Sebastian came to Allen's side and said respectfully: "Lord Duke, have you worked the road, I have asked Dorothy maid to prepare for the bath, let her serve you to bathe now?"

"Yo, old Sai. I was in a hurry to come back this time, and I haven't had time to say hello to you. What do you think? Are you okay at home?" Alan said with a smile.

Sebastian is still the standard butler who is not shocked: "Don't worry, Lord Duke, everything is fine at home." It's just that now there is a problem. ”

"Oh, what else can stump you? I'd like to hear it. Alan asked with interest, Sebastian has always been an all-round butler, and he has never said a word of embarrassment, what is it that makes him difficult this time?

Sebastian said suspiciously, "May I ask what should I do with Miss Fiona, Miss Victoria, Miss Elisabeth and Miss LeBlanc who have come back with the Duke?"

Alan froze, touched his head in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Lao Sai, you have also learned badly."
