"Flandy, why are you so obsessed with getting civilian children to read?"

Flandy didn't answer the question first, but Gülen said something that shocked him.

"Glenn, if you really want to make the empire and the human race strong, there are two things you need to do, one is to eliminate the aristocracy, and the other is to make the rich merchants have no gold coins!"

Gülen smiled bitterly, if someone who was not familiar with Flandy heard these two words of his, they would definitely think that he was bewitching the emperor.

Eliminating the aristocracy and leaving the rich merchants without gold coins is a self-defeating one, but he believes that Flandy must have a purpose in saying this, but he doesn't understand it.

"Flandy, can you elaborate?"

Gülen knew that he was going to lecture him again, so he humbly asked.

"Hmm," Flandy was pleased with Gülen's reaction.

"Let's talk about eliminating the aristocracy first, it's not really about what you need to do to the nobles. ”

Gülen let out a long breath and asked, "That's?"

Although he is the emperor, if he stands on the opposite side of all the nobles, I am afraid that this emperor will not last long.

"I just want you to give the civilians a way to ascend. ”

"Ascending channel?"

"Yes, it's a chance to become a nobleman. ”

"But now there are so many nobles in the empire, if there are more, ......"

Frandie glanced at Gülen with the eyes of an idiot.

"Are there really a lot of nobles?" asked Flandy.

In fact, there are very few real nobles, nobles need titles to be called nobles, and there are very few people who really have titles.

The five titles of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, adding up to all the nobles, are just a thousand people.

There are really many of those noble clansmen, and a large family even has hundreds of relatives.

Gülen understood this, of course, but he didn't think about it.

"Uh, there aren't many real aristocrats, just ......"

"It's just too many vassals, isn't it?"

"Yes......"

"You are the emperor, what is a nobleman in your eyes?"

"In my eyes......" Gülen thought for a moment before he said, "The nobles are all people whose ancestors have made great contributions to the empire, so that their children and grandchildren can enjoy the merits earned by their ancestors." ”

"That's right, now a noble family has only one real nobleman, isn't it?"

"Yes. ”

"But almost all the children of the aristocratic family, just because they are the children of the aristocratic family, can get the opportunity to be educated.

Of course, there are many elites among these children, but are there more elites? Or are there more gentlemen?"

"Of course there are a lot of gentlemen!" Gülen replied without thinking, because he remembered his eldest brother, who was the most typical gentleman. Of course, as a younger brother, he can think but can't say.

"If it is a hundred children of nobles and a hundred children of commoners, and give them the same opportunity to study and get an education, which class do you think will have more talents?"

The children of the nobility do not have to worry about food and clothing all their lives, so they are not enterprising, and even some of the children of the nobility send him to school, and they will be very bored.

And if the children of ordinary people can have the opportunity to learn, then in order to change their fate, even people with average talent will put in more effort than others and strive for a better life.

Gülen was deep in thought again.

"I think it's the civilian class. ”

"That's right, it must be the children of the common class who have a better chance of becoming talents!"

Flandy confirmed Gülen's speculation, and then continued: "If you can give these commoner children a lowest, non-hereditary, non-fiefdom baronial title after graduation, do you think they will be grateful to you?

"Of course it will, but that will give up a lot of barons!How can the empire have so many titles and rewards!" As soon as Gülen heard that the title would be awarded as long as the outstanding talent graduated, he immediately began to object.

"Then let me ask you, what do you need to pay to reward a lowest, non-hereditary, non-fiefdom title?"

"What do you give? uh...... It seems that you don't have to pay anything. ”

Whether it is the highest grand duke or the lowest baron, there is no need for the empire to support, but the nobles generally have a fiefdom and can intercept a certain tax in the territory.

And the higher the title, the higher the official position, since there is an official position, the gold coins will continue to flow into the pocket.

"Since you don't have to pay anything, why can't you do such a benefit?"

"But ......" Gülen was still a little unacceptable, a knighthood was a symbol of glory, even if it was the lowest baron.

"Gülen, think about it, ten years, a hundred years from now, if all the people in the empire are barons and nobles, then even the children of those great nobles will have to study hard. Contribute to the country, otherwise he is a commoner, how can such an empire not be strong?"

"Everybody is a nobleman, so what glory does a nobleman have?"

"Hmph, if he is a gentleman, who does not study, does not work hard, does not contribute to the country, and eats at home every day and waits for death, why should he be glorified? Is it because he has a good baby?"

Glenn's head was a bit of a mess, and Flandy's views had shattered his twenty-year-old perception of life.

"Flandy, let me think about it......"

"No problem, you are the Emperor of the Empire, you are the one who really makes the decisions, and I am just giving you some advice. ”

"Then tell me why the rich merchants are left without gold?"

Gülen ended the topic of nobility and instead asked about Flandy's second suggestion.

Flandy is a son of the Melward family, and if there is no gold for the rich merchants, then his own family is the first to bear the brunt.

Glenn couldn't have guessed why Flandy said that.

So the small class cultivated by the great emperor was taught again.

"First of all, think about it, what is a gold coin?"

Flandi is a good teacher, and he is very patient with cultivating Gülen as an emperor.

"Gold coins are gold coins. Why do you ask what the gold coin is?" Gülen thought so, but if he said so, he would definitely be laughed at by Flandie, so he thought about it for a while.

"Gold is wealth!"

Finally Glenn found a word that didn't seem so ignorant.

"Yes, gold coins are wealth, but why are gold coins wealth?"

"Uh......" Gülen really couldn't think of it, gold coins are wealth, not everyone knows, why did Flandy have to ask?

So he said, "Flandy, don't ask me, you should tell me." ”

Brandi smiled and said, "I've been talking for a long time, I'm a little thirsty......

"Okay, okay, I'll get you juice!"

In order to learn more from Flandy, Glenn had no choice but to run to the second floor and bring him a glass of juice.

From the beginning of the lecture on the aristocracy, Tom and Jerry had stopped what they were doing, and instead listened intently to Flandie's lecture.

What Flandi said really spoke to Tom and Jerry's hearts, the two of them were from civilian backgrounds, and they were lucky enough to be tested to have a talent for magic, so they became magicians.

And it is precisely because of their status as commoners that they work harder than the children of the nobility in the Academy of Magic, and become really good students with excellent character and learning.

But after graduation, there is little room for their advancement except to become assistants to great magicians, or to become lecturers in the Academy of Magic.

Of course, as a magician, you must not worry about eating, drinking, and clothing, and your family is getting better and better because of their identity. But if you meet the nobles, even if they are the children of the aristocracy, you still feel inferior in your heart.

Frandy and Gülen are not as useless as those passers-by, Glenn is the Emperor of the Empire, and his decisions are related to the fate of countless nobles and commoners.

If, as Franky said, ten years from now, a hundred years from now, everyone will be an aristocrat, then what is the point of the existence or non-existence of aristocracy?

Tom and Jerry had never thought so deeply, because with their status, it was useless to think even if they did.

It wasn't until I heard Frandy speak today that I realized a little.
