"You are going back to die, you have no combat experience at all, and you can't even hold a knife," the shadow said seriously: "Old man Snow told me that if he can't come back, let me take you safely to the empty ferry to lead it!"

"You just gave up on him?" Connor raised her voice, tears rolling in her eyes.

"I lived with wolves for a long time before I became a member of the council, and there was a consensus among their packs that if a wolf fell into a trap that could not be saved, the wolves would not hesitate to abandon him to avoid causing more damage. The shadow lowered his voice and said, "There are more than fifteen assassins and a strangely powerful councillor in the main hall, and we only have two combatants, knowing that going back is to send us to death, this is not called courage, but stupidity! It is impossible for Old Man Snow not to understand this kind of thing, so he asks us to leave immediately!"

"I thought I could help a little bit, like aid work or something. Tempest pretended to be calm and said, "For example, I can discuss the enemy situation." ”

The shadow suddenly turned his head, his cold eyes staring at the wind straightened in his heart, and he smiled awkwardly, "You arrange!

In the organization of the Left Court, Shadow is the only warrior known for his outstanding combat effectiveness, although he is not very old, he has experienced much more cruel facts than his companions, and the experience of living with wolves has made him more patient, more calm and composed, and will not be affected by external factors, making some choices that seem to be bloody but are actually wrong.

Perhaps considering that in a critical moment, only a calm personality like Shadow could lead his companions to escape safely, so Snow gave him all the affairs in advance.

"I don't want to go on with you about the right or wrong choice, I just know that Old Man Snow has given you to me, and I'll finish his affair for him. The shadow paused for a moment, "Or ...... last wish"

"If your actions led to the death of these companions who could have survived, would you be able to bear the consequences?"

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Connor gritted his teeth, "what's the difference between abandoning your companions and cold-blooded animals?" ”

"You're right," the shadow interrupted Connor, "but sometimes, it's a little colder to live longer." ”

"Snow is Connor's only relative...... Tempest whispered from the side.

"So, be obedient. The shadow slowly let go of her hand.

......

The barbarians and beasts had been dormant for a period of time since the last attack, and Rand had a rare time to sit idle for a few days, but the busy work soon piled up.

Sitting in the office hall, Rand saw that the snow on the window edge had begun to melt, which indicated that the winter would not last long, he put his hand out of the window, and formed a snowball in the palm of his hand, looking at the patrolling militia, he suddenly played with it, threw the snowball over, and then quickly closed the window, and heard the exclamation of the unlucky man and the laughter of other people outside.

It's a really pleasant day, Rand leans back on the couch with his unfinished plan on the table.

In the past, whenever the snow melted or after heavy rains, muddy water and weeds mixed together, forming a swamp-like road that was simply impassable, and some low-lying areas were turned into stinking ditches because sewage could not be discharged for a long time, and the residents of this era had a poor sense of hygiene, whether it was feces, urine or animal carcasses, they were directly dumped into the ditch。

In the summer, the smell is foul for several kilometers, and more importantly, in the heat, the area is prone to bacterial growth, which can cause infectious diseases.

Rand believes that one of the main reasons for the high incidence of infectious diseases in this era is that residents have no awareness of preventing and eliminating the source of infectious diseases.

In Rand's plan, there is also a very obvious one.

From now on, the official positions of the Kongdu Lords will no longer be held exclusively by nobles or knights, and commoners can seek official positions through examinations or self-nominations, but must be assessed by the Rand.

In the system of this era, most of the official positions were held by hereditary knights and nobles, among whom there were many old bureaucrats who were not in the position of corpses, and there were many indiscriminate guys who did not seek their positions, and usually the rand gave an order, and the speed of its implementation was simply outrageous, and the key was that these officials did not take their duties seriously at all.

The evaluation system reformed by the rand completely put those incompetent officials into the cold palace, and according to their respective responsibilities, they were evaluated on a quarterly basis of three months, and their respective performance and income in their respective jurisdictions were enumerated.

In this way, it is clear at a glance who is capable and who is waste.

Rand didn't plan to use his silver coins to raise a group of moths who only knew how to enjoy themselves, and there was no shortage of capable people among the commoners, and after consulting with Touron, Rand specially hired some knights to teach civilians who were interested in improving their literacy and training some management experience.

In order to train different types of talents, Rand has specially divided into different types of training courses, such as industrial knowledge or business knowledge, and civilians or their children can choose their own preferences or talents to choose courses.

When selecting talents, Rand will also select the outstanding people in these training courses, and award corresponding official positions and remuneration.

The rand can only imagine how much shock this decree will cause if it is issued.

The road to promotion for civilians is no longer just about killing enemies on the battlefield, they can study to get official positions, and after realizing this, presumably the enthusiasm of civilians for learning will be unprecedentedly high.

In the previous system, the gap between the commoners and the aristocracy was insurmountable, but now, the rand's reforms will give them hope and hope to be on an equal footing with the aristocracy.

Learning is not the only way to change one's fate, but it is indeed the best way to change one's fate.

Rand has always believed in this sentence, in the world before the time-travel, there were many voices advocating the uselessness of reading, but after Rand heard it, he only smiled.

If you don't read or study, you can really only lie to yourself to believe in this poisonous chicken soup.

Knowledge and technology are the primary productive forces, combat effectiveness, deterrence, and competitiveness.

The same applies regardless of the era.
