"Well, it's the construction team, and at the beginning, many people thought it was useless to build roads, but His Majesty the Emperor said a word, forcing everyone to accept it, no matter who it is!"

"Forcing everyone to accept it? Building a road, isn't it?" asked Rita, puzzled.

"Yes, at that time, we didn't think that there would be any benefit in building a road, and His Majesty the Emperor could repair it if he wanted to, but now it seems that His Majesty is really far-sighted. Old Willie said with emotion.

"What did Your Majesty say?"

Old Willy said word by word: "If you want to get rich, build roads first." ”

"If you want to get rich, build roads first?" The old man was a little confused when he first heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

"Yes, since the road was repaired, it used to take more than three hours to go to the imperial capital, but now it only takes one hour.

You can save two hours back and forth, why do you say these two hours are bad? Isn't it a way to make more money?

And not only is it easier for the people in our farm to go out, but during this time, many people in the imperial capital also like to go out of the city to go around, and our farm has indeed benefited a lot. ”

"Oh!" Several people had a feeling of sudden realization, they were eager to go to the magic academy to find Flandy, but now they were not so anxious, but they wanted to hear more about the changes in the imperial capital in the past year.

"It seems that His Majesty Gülen has done a good job as an emperor, do you have any other deeds?" The old man felt very relieved, counting Gülen was the grandson of his own disciple, although he had not seen it much before, but listening to Old Willie say this, he felt that he was much stronger than His Majesty Haman.

"Of course, Master Magician, how much do you think my dress is worth?" Old Willy stood up and spun around in order to show off what he was wearing.

Among the old man, Rita's cultivation time is still short, and he still has some understanding of the price of the imperial capital, so he is not too sure: "Look at this fabric, there should be ten silver coins, right?"

"No, it's only two silver coins!" laughed old Willie.

"Two silver coins? How is it possible! This is fine linen, much more delicate than ordinary linen!" As she spoke, Rita simply touched the corner of Old Willy's clothes with her hand, and said, "And the fabric is so thick, two silver coins will definitely not be able to buy it." ”

"Madam Magician, I really don't lie to you, my dress only cost two silver coins. ”

"You'd better call me Rita, don't be Miss Magician, it sounds weird, what's wrong?

"Okay, Ms. Rita, don't say it, the sackcloth is really worthless now, and now there is a new Imperial Academy of Sciences in the Ministry of Industry, and the president of the Academy of Sciences is our young master.

They developed a kind of magic machinery, specially used for spinning and weaving, the speed was fast, the quality was good, and all of a sudden the merchants who used to weave linen by hand were ruined, and the price of linen cloth also fell again and again. ”

"Magic machinery again?" the old man looked at each other.

As long as it is a magic machine, it needs a magic essentia to drive, and it used to be difficult for even ordinary magicians to get some magic essence, but now it is used in people's livelihood.

It seems that in the year that he and the others have been away, the Academy of Magic must have developed a method that can quickly and massively produce magic essentia.

"Is your young master so fond of gold coins, why do you bankrupt other merchants who weave linen cloth?"

Rita is the son of a big nobleman in the imperial capital, and textiles account for a lot of economic resources in the family industry.

"Hehe, Lady Rita, our young master is the grandson of the Marquis of Willard, the lord of the Melward family, do you think he will like gold coins?"

"Uh......" Rita blushed and couldn't say a word.

As we all know, the Melward family was a viscount bought with gold coins, and now that they have become marquises, they will not take gold coins seriously, and Flandie, the young master, can lack gold coins?

"Alright, Rita, you don't have to worry too much, the price of linen is low, which is a good thing. "It's still the old man who said a fair word.

"Yes, ma'am, although those merchants are no longer able to weave linen, but my young master's textile factory is only in charge of weaving linen, and many of those merchants have now begun to purchase from the textile factory, and they use the way they have accumulated before to sell, in fact, they have made a lot of money. ”

"Okay...... Is there anything else?" Rita was a little embarrassed and changed the subject.

"Of course there is! After His Majesty the Emperor succeeded to the throne, he did too much for us commoners, take the children of our farms as an example, how could they have the opportunity to read and write in the past? But His Majesty the Emperor said that 'the plan for a hundred years is based on education', and both the children of the nobles and the children of us commoners should have the right to be educated. ”

"Centennial plan, education-oriented......" After hearing this sentence, even Rita, except for the three children, the old man was stunned.

Only the children of the nobility can receive education, this is already a deep-rooted idea in the hearts of the people, and it has been the case for hundreds of years, His Majesty the Emperor wants to break this tradition?

Old Willie didn't notice that there was something wrong with their faces, and said to himself: "His Majesty the Emperor has set up a civilian college in Oskaia University, which specially recruits school-age children from the imperial capital to study, and more than a hundred people have gone to our farm alone!"

The wheat ear farm is now living better and better, and it is getting richer and richer, and I heard that this civilian academy was suggested by the young master to His Majesty the Emperor, and of course Old Willy has to respond positively.

Not only seven or eight-year-old children, but even fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown children were sent to the civilian academy by old Willie.

You must know that half a child of this age can already do farm work, not much less than adults, and it is impossible to put this kind of labor force off work to study in other farms.

That is, the wheat ear farm, old Willy doesn't care, and he is afraid that he won't be able to hire someone to work if he has gold coins?

I heard the young master say that only reading is the only way to change your fate, if you don't want to stay in the field and do farm work all your life, then you have to study more.

Although Old Willy didn't understand much, the young master's words must be listened to, and there was no room for sloppiness. Even if some peasant families don't want their children to go to school, he forces them to do so, half-threatening and half-tempting.

Fortunately, among the more than 100 children, thirteen of them were tested to have magical talents, and four of them were able to become magicians!

Although he didn't have any special magical talents, it already made the peasant families and old Willy overjoyed.

They never imagined that their own family, a leather child who ran around the streets all day with snot, would become a distinguished magician in the future!

Of course, old Willy won't ask for their things, but in the future, with these four magicians in the farm, he can speak to other farms in a harder tone, and his waist can be straightened!

I couldn't help but feel that when old Willie talked about the children on the farm, his face became vivid, and the satisfaction could not be concealed.

The old man looked at it and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, are the children learning very useful?"

"Of course!" said old Willie excitedly: "Not only does the civilian academy not charge money, but also manages food and housing, and even eats better than us peasants, although we have only been in school for half a year, now even the youngest children can calculate some simple accounts for our farm, and ......"

Feeling a little boastful, old Willy paused.

"And what?" the old man asked curiously.

"And there are four magicians in our farm!"

This is the proudest thing in old Willie's life, when he meets outsiders, he will always say it, and then look at the surprised faces of others, and feel very satisfied.

"Four magicians?" the old man was taken aback unexpectedly.

Suddenly, the old man understood Gülen's intentions, yes, in the past, only nobles could have the opportunity to learn and test their magical talents.

Unless civilians are particularly talented and lucky, they will be detected by a passing magician and brought to the Academy of Magic to study.

In this way, the number of mages will increase greatly unsurprisingly, which is a great good thing for the empire and for humanity.

Even Rebert sighed: "Your Majesty the Emperor is wise, why didn't you think of letting all the children of commoners go to school before? Magical talents are not divided between nobles and commoners, and if we had started earlier, the number of magicians would not be so small." ”

"Hmm!" the old man nodded heavily.

While they were chatting, the door to the room suddenly opened, and several children ran up.

"Grandpa, grandpa, the propaganda truck is coming soon, why haven't you finished eating yet!"

The children didn't expect that there were other people in the room, and as soon as they shouted, they closed their mouths and looked at these strangers with some strange eyes.

"Hehe, Nick, Nat, grandpa has guests here, you guys go first, I'll go over when the propaganda truck comes." "The old man was kind and authentic.

"Okay! Let's go!"

The children came and walked fast, and ran out in the blink of an eye, not forgetting to close the door when they left.

"Didn't you say that all the children on your farm went to the civilian academy? It's September now, and it's time for school even if it's a holiday, right? Why didn't they go?"

Rita was a little dissatisfied, and had some doubts about old Willy's words.

Old Willie slapped the table and said angrily, "Wow! It's not those damn monsters who are making trouble!"

"Warcraft?" Hearing Old Willy mention Warcraft, the old man's face immediately became serious. He asked, "Where is the Warcraft?"

"Yes! That's it! They're making a fuss, and the children's teachers have been transferred to war, so they're just sitting at home!"
